Tang Miao broke up with her boyfriend of ten years. Her boyfriend had fallen in love at first sight with the daughter of the corporation he worked for. After learning he had a girlfriend, the young...

"Isn't it a bit heavy?"
Tang Miao leaned on He Xiao's shoulder, and her voice, along with the resonance of her chest, vibrated on his back.
"Not bad." He Xiao said.
Not only was she okay, she actually seemed to be weightless, like a marshmallow, lying softly on his back, occasionally making some small movements, and emitting some peach scent.
"oh."
After He Xiao finished speaking, Tang Miao responded.
After responding, Tang Miao fell silent. There was complete silence around them. The only sound was He Xiao's footsteps, which had become heavier due to him carrying her weight.
After a moment of silence, Tang Miao asked.
"Why are you walking this way?"
"The rehearsal room is over here." He Xiao said.
"oh."
After He Xiao answered, Tang Miao responded again.
After responding to this, Tang Miao fell silent again. She leaned on He Xiao's back, looking at He Xiao walking quietly in front of her, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she did not speak again.
While she was hesitating, He Xiao asked.
"And you?"
After He Xiao asked, Tang Miao's eyes moved and he said, "My colleague had something to do today, so I helped her with a few classes."
After that, Tang Miao added: "I'm a piano teacher."
When Tang Miao said this, He Xiao turned his eyes slightly and glanced at the woman's hand on his shoulder. Her hands were very beautiful, with slender and well-proportioned joints and fair and delicate skin, which really looked like the hands of a piano player.
While He Xiao was observing, Tang Miao did not notice his action. She said, "You play the keyboard very well."
This was the evaluation Tang Miao wanted to give He Xiao after seeing his performance on the way home that day.
Maybe it was due to her job, compared to He Xiao's singing, she paid more attention to the keyboard he played. The man's fingers were slender and distinct, and he played flexibly on the black and white keyboard.
He has beautiful hands, which complement his looks.
"Thank you." He Xiao said.
After hearing her evaluation, He Xiao just said this. After he finished speaking, Tang Miao looked at the road ahead and said nothing more.
"Is there any medicine?"
When Tang Miao was silent, He Xiao asked this question. Tang Miao looked up at him and realized that he was asking about medicine for sprains.
After He Xiao finished speaking, Tang Miao said, "It will be fine soon."
While Tang Miao was talking, He Xiao carried her on his back and went directly to a pharmacy at the intersection. After entering the pharmacy, He Xiao put Tang Miao at the door and told the pharmacy clerk that he needed medicine for the sprain.
For the drugstore clerk, these minor injuries are very common. After taking a look at Tang Miao's ankle, he gave her some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicinal oil.
While Tang Miao took the medicine, He Xiao opened his phone and paid.
Tang Miao: "I myself..."
Before Tang Miao finished speaking, He Xiao had already paid the bill.
The pharmacy radio broadcast the successful payment notification. Tang Miao, who was holding the medicine, said: "..."
"I'll give you money." Tang Miao reached for the cell phone.
"No need." He Xiao said this while leaning down beside her. Tang Miao held the phone in one hand and the medicine in the other, looking at He Xiao's back, and finally let him carry her first.
Tang Miao was carried out of the pharmacy by He Xiao.
He Xiao was paying at the pharmacy at the time, and he might have just done it casually. Tang Miao was carried on He Xiao's back, holding the medicine in one hand and the cell phone in the other.
Other help is fine, but Tang Miao doesn’t want He Xiao to pay. It’s not that she doesn’t have money.
But when she said she wanted to give He Xiao money, He Xiao said no. To be honest, the medicine cost was not much, and there was no need to hesitate for such a few dozen dollars. But when it came to money, it was different from other help.
But if she wanted to transfer money to He Xiao, she had to get He Xiao's contact information. And He Xiao had clearly said before that he didn't want her to disturb him.
Tang Miao held the phone and said something to He Xiao at the end.
"I am very grateful to you."
By the time Tang Miao had finished thinking about the lawsuit, He Xiao had already carried her on his back to the elevator of their apartment building. After entering the elevator, He Xiao put Tang Miao down. He glanced at Tang Miao, who was still a little embarrassed by his dry thanks.
"Don't worry about it." He Xiao said.
Tang Miao couldn't help but look at him with concern.
Last time when Tang Miao asked him what kind of dessert he liked, He Xiao's answer to her really didn't take her feelings into consideration. For most people, it is impossible for them not to want to repay someone after receiving their help. However, if they refuse her repayment once or twice, when she helps them for the third time, they will feel ashamed because they cannot repay her.
This is what Tang Miao is like now.
Although the two of them didn't have much contact, from the few contacts they had, it was clear that she was a thin-skinned person. So it was impossible for her not to care about his help, which was just a dry thank you.
He Xiao looked at Tang Miao and said, "I treat everyone like this."
"Because I'm a good person." He Xiao said.
Tang Miao looked at him without blinking.
Her eyes were very beautiful. The outline of her almond-shaped eyes and the dark pupils were set on her fair and delicate face. When she looked at people, her eyes were clear and bright.
After He Xiao said that he was a good person, Tang Miao just looked at him without saying anything.
After being stared at by her for a while, He Xiao asked, "What's wrong?"
Tang Miao smiled.
Her eyes were like rippling blue waves as she smiled. She looked at him intently and said.
“I haven’t met many nice people.”
“So I want to take a closer look.”
After Tang Miao finished speaking, He Xiao's eyelashes twitched.
-
While the two were talking, the elevator quietly reached the 16th floor. The elevator was not far from the door of the house. After the elevator arrived, Tang Miao stepped on his injured right foot and walked down the elevator by himself.
The two walked to the door of the house one after the other. After listening to what He Xiao said in the elevator, Tang Miao felt less embarrassed. She stood at the door of the house with the medicine in one hand and thanked He Xiao again.
"Thank you so much for today. Good night."
After saying that, Tang Miao took the house key and opened the door.
When Tang Miao opened the door, He Xiao's finger also fell on the fingerprint password lock. When the door lock made a sound, He Xiao looked back at Tang Miao and asked.
"Is there any ice?"
After He Xiao asked, Tang Miao looked at him.
For sprains, applying ice and then applying medicated oil will help them heal faster.
"I can just apply it directly..." said Tang Miao.
"I have it." He Xiao said, "Wait for me to get it for you."
After He Xiao said this, he opened the door and walked into the house. Tang Miao stood at the door and watched He Xiao leave: "..."
He Xiao went home to get some ice cubes. Tang Miao stood at the door and opened it first. After the door was opened, she leaned against the door frame and waited for He Xiao to come over.
After a while, He Xiao took an ice pack and handed it to Tang Miao.
"Thank you." Tang Miao took the ice pack and thanked him.
After she thanked him, Tang Miao was ready to go home. She held the medicine in one hand and the ice pack in the other, and was about to go home. However, when she was walking home, she realized that she was holding something in both hands and could not free her hands to hold the wall.
Seeing Tang Miao looking down at his left and right hands, He Xiao took the ice pack.
The ice pack in his left hand was taken away, and Tang Miao also freed his hand to hold the wall. Originally, He Xiao wanted Tang Miao to put the medicine down first and then come back to get the ice pack, but Tang Miao said something to him after he took the ice pack.
"I'll buy you a cup of tea."
He Xiao looked at her.
When He Xiao looked at her, Tang Miao also laughed. She looked at him and invited him, "I can't thank you in any other way, but I can still buy you a cup of tea."
"I have fruit tea that I make myself at home. I chill it in the refrigerator in advance. It tastes very good," said Tang Miao.
Tang Miao looked at him sincerely as he spoke.
He Xiao met her gaze and looked at her for a while. After looking at her for a while, He Xiao said.
"Excuse me."
