Zhao Li had no choice but to obediently pick up Shangguan Jiao, since it was only two steps away.

Zhao's mother was very pleased with her son's obedience and continued, "Hurry up and get some ice cubes from the refrigerator to help Jiaojiao apply it, so that it won't swell up later!"

Zhao Li obediently filled some ice cubes and handed them to Shangguan Jiao. Just as Shangguan Jiao was about to take it, Zhao's mother pulled her hand back.

"What are you doing? Jiaojiao is feeling uncomfortable, and you let her do it by herself? And the ice is so cold. Girls should take care of their bodies and not touch too many cold things.

Aren't you free? I've packed everything for you, so you can help Jiaojiao apply the compress." Mother Zhao said to Zhao Li.

She handed him a stool and said, "Sit down. You have experience. Help Jiaojiao apply more." Then she walked away.

Shangguan Jiao's mother also saw her daughter, but her condition didn't look serious, and Zhao Li was taking care of her, so she didn't go over.

"Brother Li, let me do it!" Shangguan Jiao said embarrassedly. She had never had a person of the opposite sex so close to her, let alone the person she liked!

"It's okay, let me do it!" Zhao Li sat on the stool and carefully helped Shangguan Jiao apply the massage to her ankle.

It was my fault for not taking good care of it, so I'll just consider it as an apology.

It is said that serious men are the most attractive. Shangguan Jiao looked at the man in front of her who was working seriously and felt as if she had eaten honey in her heart.

"Have you never walked for such a long time before?" Zhao Li asked.

"Ah? What?" Shangguan Jiao was immersed in her own beautiful fantasy and did not hear clearly what the other party said.

"I'm wondering if you haven't walked for a long time before." Zhao Li asked.

"Not really. When I went out with Tingting and the others, we walked for a long time!" Shangguan Jiao said. Then she looked at Zhao Li and said, "It's just that we didn't walk that fast."

I felt like I was on the road all afternoon, which was completely different from the way I had been playing before.

"Your calves may be sore tomorrow, so it's best to massage yourself tonight," said Zhao Li.

"Ah, will it hurt?" Shangguan Jiao asked.

“That depends on your own situation, but if you want to study medicine, you won’t have the physical strength to do so!

"A doctor has to stand for at least several hours after each operation. Do you think you can stand that long? And you have to stay alert," Zhao Li said as he applied the compress.

"Then I will start exercising well tomorrow and strive to have a strong body." Shangguan Jiao secretly encouraged herself.

"Well, no matter what you do, it never hurts to have a good body." Zhao Li said from the side.

This is only because she is the girl next door. If it were someone else, he wouldn't be so nagging.

"Zhao Li, Jiaojiao must have strained her foot after walking for so long today. Please massage her foot so that she won't be sore when she wakes up tomorrow." Zhao's mother's voice came from outside.

In fact, Zhao's mother and the other two had already stopped chatting and were eavesdropping on the two people's conversation outside!

"Mom, it's not appropriate. She can just rub it herself at night. It's not a big problem." Zhao Li retorted.

"Jiaojiao can't control the strength and method. You should teach her. What does she know as a child?" said Zhao's mother.

"Can you?" Zhao Li asked?

"I, I haven't tried it." Shangguan Jiao lowered her head and said.

She wasn't lying, right? Although she had studied it, she had never tried it!

"Then let me help you tap it." Zhao Li said that it was impossible to massage him.

"Thank you, Brother Li!" Shangguan Jiao nodded.

If it were in the past, she would definitely be embarrassed to accept it, but after being with Song Jinxiu for a long time, she seemed to have become thick-skinned!

Shangguan Jiao secretly thought in her heart, it’s great to have the courage to speak out your thoughts.

So, Zhao Li took the ice away. It wasn't serious anyway, and it was almost done after applying it for so long.

"Put your feet on the stool," Zhao Li said. "Yes, flat and straight."

Shangguan Jiao did as she was told, and Zhao Li helped her beat the drum.

Shangguan Jiao pinched her clothes, hiss, this hurts too much!

After just a few moments of beating, Shangguan Jiao felt her back soaked with sweat. However, she still endured it, not wanting Brother Li to think she was being pretentious.

"That's right! I thought you'd scream out in pain! That's how painful it is to relax your muscles after exercise. But after relaxing like this, your feet won't be sore tomorrow!"

"New recruits in the army have to practice with each other after training every day so they can suffer less the next day." Zhao Li praised Shangguan Jiao, who was trying hard to hold back.

Shangguan Jiao gave Zhao Li a pale smile.

She no longer had the strength to speak.

"Let me get you a towel to wipe your face!" Zhao Li got up and went out.

Then he saw his sister sitting next to his mother.

"Brother, where did you go? Didn't you say I was watching from the side? How come when I turned around, you're gone?

We climbed to the top of the mountain, but you were nowhere to be found. And you waited at the foot of the mountain for so long, only returning after dark. "Before Zhao Li could say anything, Zhao Tingting started talking first.

Zhao Li was used to his sister's blaming him for something, so he rolled his eyes at her and went out to get a towel.

"It's strange that he didn't even struggle today." Zhao Tingting said as she watched her brother walking away.

"Maybe I'm too lazy to waste time with you." Su Jie said.

"What you said is called pampering me." Zhao Tingting said.

On Song Jinxiu's side, when she got home from get off work, she found that everyone was there.

Liu Ankang, Jin Heping, Aunt Cuihua, Aunt Zhou, the village chief uncle and Dakang were all there.

"When did uncle come? Why didn't anyone tell me so I could get off work early." Song Jinxiu said.

"You don't have to leave work early. Now is the perfect time. The vegetables have been washed and are ready to be fried for you." Aunt Zhou said with a smile.

"What are you saying? If I come back early, I can only cook? I can still chat with my uncle! For things like cooking, I can just send a little brother to do it." Song Jinxiu winked at Liu Ankang, "Little brother, go ahead."

"So An An comes to the city not only to study, but also to take care of you, right?" said the village chief.

"That's absolutely impossible!" Song Jinxiu said, "Isn't it a rare occasion for you to come here, so I'll let you taste his cooking skills.

I tell you, a good teacher produces good students. I have taught An An very well, and he has surpassed me.

"Your cooking skills are almost surpassing mine, just a little bit short. With time, you'll be there in no time!" Song Jinxiu boasted.

"It seems there are many opportunities for practice." said the village chief.

"Hahaha!! Uncle, we can't have a chat if you say that!" Song Jinxiu said with a laugh.

"Okay, stop teasing her!" Aunt Cuihua came out to smooth things over. "Dalinzi and the others wrote to us, and your uncle is at home and has nothing to do, so we came out to play."

"Oh, finally a letter! Where did the four of them go? It took so long to hear from them." Song Jinxiu asked curiously.
