Chapter 133 Awkward
Ying Wu almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw his expression.
She deliberately moved closer to Liang Xiuzhu and put her arm around his shoulders: "You didn't do anything? We were just talking."
After he finished speaking, Ying Wu looked up at Sun Shuo. The look of inquiry in his eyes became stronger. He raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "Why are you reacting so strongly?"
Liang Xiuzhu, who was feeling dizzy, heard his words and turned to look at Sun Shuo. There was some confusion in his eyes. But I was very nervous about his answer.
"I..."
Realizing that his reaction was a little abnormal, Sun Shuo didn't know how to refute. There was a hint of irritability between his brows.
Since he couldn't explain it, Sun Shuo simply stopped talking. He walked forward and pushed away Yingwu's hand that was on Liang Xiuzhu's shoulder.
He said to Liang Xiuzhu who was still in a daze, "The firewood has been chopped. Go and boil the medicine for your aunt first."
"oh oh."
Sun Shuo's tone was very normal, but it seemed to have changed in Liang Xiuzhu's ears. For some reason, Liang Xiuzhu didn't dare to look him in the eye. He lowered his head, responded, and walked towards the kitchen.
Yingwu folded his arms as he looked at the awkward atmosphere between the two and shook his head to express his helplessness.
Seeing Liang Xiuzhu enter the room, Sun Shuo looked at him and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
He could clearly feel that something was wrong with Liang Xiuzhu. I can’t explain it, it just feels awkward. It's easy to tell that it was Yingwu's doing.
"When did I say anything nonsense? Brother Sun, I'm afraid you don't dare to say anything nonsense even if you want to?" Ying Wu said with a hidden meaning: "If you don't dare to say it, I will do it for you."
Sun Shuo's eyes flashed, and his heart tightened instantly. The meaning of his words was so straightforward. After taking a look in the direction of the kitchen, Sun Shuo grabbed Ying Wu's collar with both hands.
He lowered his voice and said angrily, "Are you crazy? This is my business! Who told you to act on your own?!"
Thinking of Liang Xiuzhu's embarrassed and evasive expression just now, Sun Shuo felt as if all the strength in his body was drained and his body was cold. All of his hidden and dirty thoughts were exposed to the scorching sun, causing him to feel extremely tortured.
"What?" Ying Wu looked at his panicked expression, curled his lips and looked at his dissolute look: "Are you afraid that he will know? You still have such a moment? It's rare."
Seeing him being humiliated, Yingwu felt really surprised. Sun Shuo is usually straightforward and has a sharp tongue, and he is merciless when it comes to insulting others. Now I show this expression for others.
Letting him go, Sun Shuo stood where he was. Pacing anxiously. He kept looking towards the kitchen, where Liang Xiuzhu was decocting medicine. Sun Shuo couldn't help but feel nervous when he thought of Liang Xiuzhu's expression just now.
Little did he know that Liang Xiuzhu, who was boiling medicine in the kitchen, had his heart beating like crazy. The medicine jars on the stove made gurgling sounds.
The heart in his chest was beating non-stop. Liang Xiuzhu pressed his restless chest with his hand and felt he was having difficulty breathing.
Sun Shuo likes him? Is God really bewitching? How is this possible? !
This was simply too horrifying for Liang Xiuzhu.
He only regards Sun Shuo as a brother!
"Oh my God... this is so scary..." Liang Xiuzhu was uneasy. He fanned the fire and added firewood to the medicine jar while muttering to himself.
The medicine pot needs to be simmered slowly over low heat, but Liang Xiuzhu forgot. He kept stuffing firewood into the stove. The flames suddenly rushed up and devoured the firewood. A muffled buzzing sound came from the stove, which showed how big the fire was.
Holding the firewood chopped by Sun Shuo in his hand, Liang Xiuzhu couldn't help but think of Ying Wu's words. The firelight reflected on his face and he felt his skin getting hot.
The fire was so big and so intense that the lid of the medicine jar was pushed out by the steam and made a banging sound. The medicinal soup inside also overflowed and turned into water vapor when it came into contact with the high temperature flames.
Liang Xiuzhu's thoughts were pulled back by the sound of the medicine jar, and he realized that a lot of medicine had spilled out of the stove: "Oh no, medicine!"
Liang Xiuzhu was anxious and reached out to take the medicine jar without thinking.
The high temperature of the fire caused steam to continuously spew out of the medicine jar, and Liang Xiuzhu felt a burning sensation the moment he picked up the handle of the medicine jar. My hands trembled in pain and retracted uncontrollably.
With a dull clang, the medicine jar broke into pieces on the ground, and the black medicine juice flowed all over the floor. In the room filled with the bitter aroma of medicine, Liang Xiuzhu hung his hands, which were burned by the steam, and grimaced in pain.
"What's going on?!" Upon hearing the noise, Sun Shuo immediately ran in and saw the mess in the room and Liang Xiuzhu's red arm: "What's going on! Come here quickly!"
As he spoke, Sun Shuo quickly pulled Liang Xiuzhu's shoulder. He was taken to the water tank, and his hands were grasped and pressed into the tank.
The stinging sensation was relieved a lot after my hands touched the cold water. Sun Shuo's hands were also soaked in the water tank with him.
Sun Shuo's big hand grabbed Liang Xiuzhu's arm, their skin touching. Liang Xiuzhu was so nervous that he forgot the pain.
After the panic, the two of them said nothing.
Liang Xiuzhu lowered his head and looked at the water tank, carefully slowing down his breathing. His chest was beating like a drum, and in the quiet environment, he was afraid that his crazy heartbeat would be discovered by Sun Shuo.
I was anxious for a moment and waited for my reaction to the current situation. Sun Shuo also became a little stiff, holding Liang Xiuzhu's hand, not knowing what to do next.
Letting go hastily seemed to only make things more awkward, so she had no choice but to stay in the water with Liang Xiuzhu.
An atmosphere of silence spread between the two.
Jiang Wenyi heard the noise and walked in: "Xiuzhu! What's going on?"
Seeing the broken medicine jars on the ground and the two people standing in front of the water tank, he quickly stepped forward with concern in his eyes: "What happened? Who was burned?"
Jiang Wenyi's arrival broke the awkward atmosphere between them, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Shuo let go of his hand and said to Liang Xiuzhu, "Soak until you can no longer feel the stinging pain, then take it out."
Liang Xiuzhu nodded and replied in a taciturn tone, "Okay."
When I spoke, I didn't dare to look up at him. I could only stare at his reflection in the water tank. The shadow glanced at him and then walked away to pick up the medicine jars on the ground.
Jiang Wenyi walked up to Liang Xiuzhu and said, "Mom, take a look. Is it serious? How can you be so careless, kid?"
After that, he turned to Sun Shuo and said, "Little Sun, stop busying yourself or you might get burned."
"It's okay, aunt." Sun Shuo picked up the fragments, took the broom to clean up the residue and threw it into the fence outside to feed the chickens.
"It seems that Xiao Sun is very caring. I wonder who will benefit from this." Jiang Wenyi watched Sun Shuo quietly cleaning the floor and joked while leaning against the water tank.
Who gets the benefit? This guy is interested in your son! ! !
Liang Xiuzhu couldn't help but scream in his heart, feeling his heart was in a mess.
When he no longer felt the obvious stinging pain in his hand, Liang Xiuzhu took his hand out of the water tank.
Sun Shuo, who was standing by, stepped forward immediately and took out a small porcelain bottle from his chest and gave it to him: "Stretch out your hand."
Liang Xiuzhu spread out his two burned red hands, looking miserable and just about to take it. Sun Shuo withdrew his hand. Pulling his sleeve, he sat down on a stool nearby: "Stretch out your hand, I'll apply medicine for you."
Jiang Wenyi saw this scene and said with great tact: "Then I'll go get some bandages."
As soon as she left, silence fell in the room again. Liang Xiuzhu is usually chattering, so Sun Shuo was not used to such silence. But when I thought about why he was upset, I fell silent.
The rough big hand held Liang Xiuzhu's fair and slender hand, and carefully applied medicine to the red skin on the back of his hand.
"Um...Um..." Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange, Liang Xiuzhu took the initiative to ask: "Where is your good friend?"
"He went back first." said Sun Shuo.
"Ah... like this..."
Liang Xiuzhu felt that he was so nervous that he was about to sweat, especially since the two of them were so close to each other and his hand was being held.
The key is that the person holding his hand likes him!
As if sensing Liang Xiuzhu's embarrassment, Sun Shuo applied medicine to him and let go of his hand. She stared at him solemnly: "Yingwu is used to talking nonsense, you don't have to take it to heart."
Hearing this, Liang Xiuzhu looked up and his eyes met his. There seemed to be complexity in those obsidian eyes. He only took a quick glance at Liang Xiuzhu and quickly looked away.
He joked unnaturally: "Haha...haha...your friend is quite interesting..."
After hearing his words, a hint of displeasure flashed across Sun Shuo's face. He stood up and instructed, "You can bandage it after the plaster dries. Don't touch water for the next few days."
As he said that, Sun Shuo walked out of the house. He saw it. Liang Xiuzhu would only feel more uncomfortable if he continued to stay here.
"Are you... leaving?" Liang Xiuzhu also stood up and walked him to the door.
"Um."
Climbing onto the horse, Sun Shuo looked at Liang Xiuzhu standing in front of the horse with a complicated expression. He almost opened his mouth but swallowed it instead.
He tightened the reins: "Go!"
The horse carrying its master ran out like a sharp sword, leaving behind clouds of dust.
Liang Xiuzhu wanted to ask him when he would come again. In the end, I didn't ask. He stood there, with his hands spread out, silently watching Sun Shuo's back as he walked away.
In the following days, Sun Shuo did not come to Liang Xiuzhu's courtyard again.
