Chapter 42
The next day, at around 05:30 in the morning, Li Siying woke up first.She usually wakes up at this point. Although her phone was stolen, her biological clock is still there.
She opened her eyes, slightly stunned.
Now she is lying on her side, and her sensory system tells her one thing: her right hand is resting on Xu Tinglan's slender waist, and Xu Tinglan's left hand is resting on her right arm.
Xu Tinglan was still asleep.
The winter night is very long, the sky outside is still dark, and the street lamps are still on diligently.
Li Siying closed her eyes again. Anyway, Xu Tinglan's dormitory was next to the school, and she still had more than half an hour to continue enjoying this rare intimacy.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of her eyes were moist.
God knows how long she had been looking forward to this intimacy.
At 6 o'clock, Xu Tinglan's alarm bell rang.She usually set the alarm at 6:15. Considering the time for her and Li Siying to wash up today, and Li Siying's injured calf, she set the alarm earlier.
Xu Tinglan reached out to press the alarm on the phone, Li Siying also pretended to be sleepy and just woke up, and pulled out her right hand around Xu Tinglan's waist without any trace, and rubbed her eyes with it.
She was afraid that Xu Tinglan would feel uncomfortable when she realized that the two of them had slept together for a night, but it seemed that she was worrying too much.
Xu Tinglan lay back on the bed again, it was extremely difficult for her to get up early.But she wanted Li Siying to sleep more, and when she was gritting her teeth and planning to get up, she felt that Li Siying had already got up.
"I'm going to brush my teeth first. I'm used to getting up early, so you can sleep a little longer." Li Siying carried her clothes and went to the bathroom.
Xu Tinglan was in a daze for a few minutes, and finally regained consciousness.Feeling ashamed for a while, I got up.It happened that Li Siying came out of the bathroom after washing.
"By the way, your cotton wool pants are not dry yet. I have a set of thermal clothes. You are about the same height as me, so you should be able to wear them." Xu Tinglan said, going to get the thermal clothes.
Li Siying felt embarrassed. Before she could decide whether to pick it up, Xu Tinglan stuffed the pair of thermal pants into her hand and said, "You put it on first, and I'll apply the medicine and tie the gauze on you later."
Li Siying watched the bathroom door close and heard the sound of brushing teeth, then slowly took off the school pants again, put on the warm pants Xu Tinglan gave her, and then put on the school pants again.
Sit on the stool, gently rolled up the trousers, and slowly tore off yesterday's gauze, the blood inside was mixed with various yellow and white ointments, the color was as ugly as festered pus.
When the wound was involved, there was a bit of tearing pain, but now the pain is very clear, not like yesterday's pain and numbness, every hair on the body stands on end.
Li Siying frowned until she tore off the entire gauze mixed with blood and ointment.
Then I took a cotton swab and dipped it in iodine to clean the area around the wound, revealing the inside of the wound, which was pink and white with a little bloodshot inside, and Li Siying felt that this leg was not her own.
At this time Xu Tinglan came out and saw that Li Siyi had torn off the gauze, revealing the scarlet wound.Xu Tinglan's heart was stabbed, she secretly rejoiced that she went downstairs yesterday and chased after her.
Xu Tinglan applied the medicine very slowly and lightly, for fear of hurting Li Siying, her hands were shaking slightly.When going downstairs, Xu Tinglan supported Li Siying to limp down slowly, she didn't dare to carry her back downstairs.
After going down the stairs, Li Siying said to Xu Tinglan: "Would you like to go first? I can walk slowly by myself. Self-study will start soon."
Xu Tinglan supported her arm and said calmly, "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry."
The students on the way to school, those who knew Li Siying and Xu Tinglan in the third year of high school all came over to ask a few questions with concern, and Xu Tinglan blocked them all when they wanted to come forward to help them.Xu Tinglan's freshman in high school looked at Li Siying curiously, and then said hello to Xu Tinglan.
Just like that, Xu Tinglan helped Li Siying up to the third floor and entered the classroom before leaving.
Huang Qingqing knew that after Li Siying spent the night with Xu Tinglan, her whole body felt like a spring breeze, as if she was the one who liked Xu Tinglan, and she was the one who spent the night with Xu Tinglan.
She excitedly asked if anything happened that night, and Li Siying replied honestly: "Nothing happened." Huang Qingqing was so angry that she scolded her as an elm lump.
In the morning, Li Siying's parents came and brought a bag of clothes.
"Why did you bring my clothes?" Li Siying was puzzled.
Li Siying's mother looked at her daughter's gauze-bound calf distressedly, and said, "Your Teacher Xu called us this morning and told you to stay with her for another night tonight. Is it Saturday? Let's pick you up after self-study tomorrow night, let's think about it, that's fine."
Li Siying's father: "You have to be good when you live with the teacher, you know?"
Just like that, after the evening self-study was over, when Li Siying and Huang Qingqing left the classroom together, they saw Xu Tinglan waiting not far away.
A black turtleneck sweater is inside the light gray woolen windbreaker, and the skinny jeans set off the straight and slender legs.With a bunch of keys casually in her hand, Li Siying's first feeling was: to relax at home.It's as warm and natural as waiting for yourself to go home.
Huang Qingqing poked Li Siying's arm, greeted Xu Tinglan, and happily let herself go first.
When I returned to Xu Tinglan's residence, it was not too late. Xu Tinglan had already washed up and changed into her pajamas when she came back. It was only a quarter past ten o'clock when Li Siying finished washing.
Xu Tinglan changed Li Siying's medicine, re-bandaged her, and asked her if she had finished her homework, and if she hadn't finished, she could use the writing desk.
Li Siying shook her head. Doing homework in this kind of romantic time is always deceiving yourself and others.
After Xu Tinglan gave her the medicine, she nestled on the sofa to read a book. Li Siying took a look at "Meditation Records", feeling a little gap in her heart...
She moved slowly to the side of the bed, swallowed, then lifted a corner of the quilt and climbed onto the bed silently.
"I'm going to heat the milk, do you want it?" Xu Tinglan put down the book in her hand and asked.
Li Siying just lay down on the bed, and nodded when she heard the words, but felt that it was not good to open her mouth while stretching out her hands to eat, so she was going to get out of bed and go with Xu Tinglan.
"Lie down and don't move, I'll bring it for you."
Li Siying lay obediently and concentrated on warming the bed.
Xu Tinglan came over with two ceramic mugs, Li Siying was slightly taken aback: "Why do you have two water glasses?" These two water glasses are different in color and style, not a set.
"I usually drink tea and drink milk separately, otherwise there will be a milky taste when drinking tea." Xu Tinglan handed Li Siying the cup she usually used to drink milk.
Only then did Li Siying remember that there was indeed a small box of West Lake Longjing tea leaves on the wooden shelf in Xu Tinglan's room.
After drinking the milk, Xu Tinglan washed the glass, and it was almost 11 o'clock, and went to bed, leaving only a bedside lamp with soft light, to read the news by herself.
Li Siying lay down and felt that the pillow was getting softer and softer. She didn't know whether it was because of the milk she drank or Xu Tinglan was beside her. She just felt that the atmosphere was warm and gentle, and she felt drowsy.
Rolling curtains in the west wind, warm pillows and wall lamps, the warm and gentle atmosphere in this room made Li Siying just want to fall asleep instead of waking up.
"Sleepy?" Xu Tinglan almost closed her eyes when she saw Li Siying.
Li Siying: "Well... One thing, can I hug you to sleep like yesterday?" When Li Siying said this, she followed her own feelings, without thinking too much, just thinking about the one that made her feel at ease embrace.
Xu Tinglan smiled lightly, said "Yes", turned off the bedside lamp, and lay down.
Li Siying stretched out her arms to hug Xu Tinglan, gently, without a cock, and poked her head into Xu Tinglan's neck, probably an instinctive reaction, and then closed her eyes contentedly.
Xu Tinglan's heart collapsed like a domino.
Reaching out to rub Li Siying's little head, she asked with a smile, "If I didn't come down that day, would you come to me?"
Li Siying closed her eyes and shook her head.
Xu Tinglan was taken aback: "Huh? Why?"
Li Siying was half asleep, and said vaguely: "I don't know, I think you are too timid..."
This was too far-fetched, Xu Tinglan wanted to ask, but when she turned her head, she saw that Li Siying had fallen asleep.
Xu Tinglan was not sure whether Li Siying would come to her or not.But these two answers were obviously beyond Xu Tinglan's expectations.Also, what is it about being timid?
Xu Tinglan was a little scared when she thought of her hesitation when she took back her steps. If she hadn't stepped forward and Li Siying hadn't come to find her, what would she do?Do you insist on taking a taxi home, or take a taxi directly to the hospital?Even her mobile phone was stolen from her, and it is impossible to bring a lot of money.
There was a burst of guilt in my heart, and I almost let the child suffer because of my alienation.
He thinks that keeping a distance is the best choice, but he doesn't know that in the child's heart, this is also an attitude of indifference.Not to mention whether the liking and dependence on oneself have faded, but the accompanying trust will gradually disappear, until in the end, whether the child is good or bad, it has nothing to do with me.
Xu Tinglan asked herself in her heart: Is this the result you want?
Thinking of this, Xu Tinglan felt panicked.Feeling uncomfortable as if something was going to be gouged out from my heart, I couldn't help but put my cheek against her forehead.
At the end of self-study on Friday night, Li Siying's parents took a taxi to pick Li Siying up.
"Hey, why don't I go get a driver's license test, it's too inconvenient without a car at home." Li Siying's father said in the car.
"Your eyes, forget it, you don't recognize the neighbors who have passed in front of you several times." After Li Siying's mother scolded her husband, she said to Li Siying: "Hey, Yingying, why don't you go to take the college entrance examination after the college entrance examination? drving license?"
"What are you talking about? How old is she? And she passed the exam now, so why don't you buy her a car now?" Li Siying's father expressed dissatisfaction with his wife's decision to come out.
Li Siying didn't listen to what they said. She kept thinking about what Xu Tinglan said to herself when she and Xu Tinglan went to school in the morning.At that time, she supported herself and said, "Siying, no matter what happens in the future, you can come to me, don't have any worries."
That was the first time Xu Tinglan called her by her own name when she could have ignored her name, and she didn't include her last name.
Li Siying remembered the dream she had when she was a sophomore in high school. In the dream, Xu Tinglan said to herself: "I'm here, no one will want you."
What a similar scene, what a similar feeling, Li Siying originally thought that the dream was just a self-deception by herself, but now, she no longer thinks that way.
She is still not sure how Xu Tinglan feels about her at this stage, but no matter what, she can feel Xu Tinglan's deep concern and love for her, which is an indelible kindness that accompanies her growth.
