Chapter 73 False love?
Chapter 73 False love?
"Oh, by the way, you should be here to look for Zhiyu. The child is in the room. I will help you call him out." Kan Lihua said attentively in front.
"Thank you, but no, I'll go in by myself." Bai Qingge declined politely.
Don’t be fooled by this tin house. It looks quite simple with only one layer of tin sheet on the outside. The inside is actually made of wood and almost no tools are used.
They are basically built using the ancient mortise and tenon structure, which are interlocked with each other. They are not as dirty and messy as imagined, but have a unique flavor.
"Grandma!" An unexpected voice of surprise sounded. It was Chu Jinyan who came with them.
Bai Qingge stopped and turned sideways, and saw that Chu Jinyan followed him halfway and then turned into a small room next to him that was covered with only a layer of cloth.
"Grandma, why are you here?" Chu Jinyan's voice was as coquettish as a cat, and her tone was even more lively.
It’s totally unimaginable that the girl before could be tricked away with just a piece of candy.
However, since the person had been found, Bai Qingge did not linger any longer and gradually went deeper inside.
The wooden walls are covered with scratches from the years, and the furniture in the house is mostly made of wood.
Next to the kitchen there is a primitive water tank carved out of stone for storing water. The outside is moistened by clean water and has grown a thin layer of moss. Although no one cleans it, it has a special artistic conception in Bai Qingge's eyes.
This was something he could only see in his hometown before, and Bai Qingge missed it very much.
Although the iron box is small, it has everything needed, even a second floor. Under the guidance of Kan Lihua, Bai Qingge knew that his deskmate was on the second floor.
Walking up the wooden stairs, I saw that the handrails next to them had been rubbed by hands to form a patina, which showed that they were quite old.
Bai Qingge walked lightly and slowly up to the second floor.
The second floor looks much more spacious than the first floor. The cool mats spread on the ground and the quilts made of various things become the sleeping place for the family of three.
Opposite the bed there is an old-fashioned big-butt TV, which can be said to be an antique and you may not be able to buy it outside.
Next to the TV there was a square wooden table, and judging by the extent of the damage it had sustained, it must have been a major fixture in the household.
Kan Zhiyu just sat there, she seemed to be fascinated by something and didn't notice that Bai Qingge had walked behind her.
There are not many things on the table, a few homework books, a few old enamel cups with completely peeling paint, and some unfinished-looking textiles, which make up the trivialities that usually happen on this table.
Only when Bai Qingge got closer could she see clearly what her deskmate was looking at so intently.
A not-so-exquisite family photo with a red background and three people in it.
The boy sat on his mother's lap, playing with her hair playfully, while the mother sat on a wooden stool, and the girl just stood obediently on the side, like a foil.
Kan Zhiyu stared at the photo without blinking. If no one disturbed her, she seemed to be able to look at it forever.
"Classmate, why did you sneak out? The doctor didn't say you've fully recovered."
The hot air sprayed beside his ears. Kan Zhiyu, who had been staring at the photo absent-mindedly, shuddered all over and turned his head to look subconsciously.
Black hair and silver threads intertwined, warm breath blended together, eyes that seemed to be touching foreheads stared at each other, and for a moment it was impossible to tell whose was whose.
"What's wrong? Are you stunned or angry?" Bai Qingge exhaled hot air impartially, with a serious but also a bit of joking.
The hot air hit her face and the familiar fragrance rushed into her nose. Kan Zhiyu then realized how close they were. She stepped back suddenly.
But she apparently forgot that there was a hard table behind her. With a dull thud, the soft flesh on her waist hurt so much that she burst into tears.
"How can I be so careless?" Whether it's being bullied at school or going out in the rain to look for his mother, it makes people angry and helpless.
Bai Qingge placed the medicine he brought with him on the table and forcibly turned Kan Zhiyu's body over.
This was not the first time she had seen Kan Zhiyu's thin waist, but no matter how many times, it was always so thin and lean.
"This?" Bai Qingge gently pressed the part of the skin that had become red and swollen.
Kan Zhiyu was also shaking as if he was stabbed, "You know it hurts but you still don't learn your lesson."
Bai Qingge subconsciously imitated her mother in her previous life and started nagging about things.
The other hand didn't stop either, luckily she brought some medicine with her.
The cold medicine patch touched the sore skin, causing a tingling sensation in the waist.
Bai Qingge didn't notice Kan Zhiyu's unbearable trembling, because when applying the ointment, she realized more clearly how thin her deskmate was.
Kan Zhiyu only needed to take a deep breath and she could see the rows of ribs from the outline of the skin, which made her doubt whether her desk mate really ate at home?
It’s really hard to say what will happen if you have a mother like that.
Kan Zhiyu's slight tremor was conveyed through physical contact.
It seemed that he felt cold after lifting up his clothes, so Bai Qingge quickly put the clothes down and tidied them up close.
I don’t know what nerve was touched, but the classmate who was forced to come over just stayed in her arms, refusing to make a sound or say a word.
"Student Bai, can you hug me?" Kan Zhiyu buried himself in her arms and said in a muffled voice.
Bai Qingge did not say anything, but answered with practical actions.
The body is tightly confined but does not feel suffocated. Even if you are wearing thick clothes, it cannot block the transfer of temperature.
It’s really different from my mother’s hug, so is what Bai said true?
Kan Zhiyu couldn't figure it out. What did his mother tell him before mean?
Is it deception? Is it a lie? Or is it hypocrisy as Bai said?
She found this question difficult, even more difficult than guessing from the vague notes on the blackboard.
It was getting dark, and it was not until Wu Bing came to pick up Bai Qingge that Kan Zhiyu reluctantly let go of her hand.
That’s right, they hugged each other quietly for several hours, during which time Kan Zhiyu fell asleep because she was completely relaxed.
When they left, Chu Jinyan had already gone. She and her grandmother asked Kan Lihua to express their gratitude on their behalf, and also told her their home address, saying that they must visit when they have time in the future.
Bai Qingge left with a smile. Today seemed to have ended smoothly again, except that a little resistance attribute was deducted.
She didn't know why the system kept focusing on her resistance button. Couldn't it switch to other buttons in turn?
The system responded that this was also beyond His control, and He likened the system’s punishment to the human immune system.
Once the virus attacks, the immune cells will attack from the weakest point.
