Chapter 27: Pork Ribs and Dragon
The wild child leaned his back against the wall, his calves tensed, his palms on the ground, his body in a tense state ready to escape or attack at any time.
Jiang Changyi gently closed the door, slowly walked to the wild child and squatted down.
His face was covered in wounds, even the blood was still fresh.
If these wounds are not treated quickly, they may become inflamed and infected.
"Hello."
Jiang Changyi's voice was very soft.
The sudden parallel line of sight made the wild child's heart sink, but the gaze between them was no longer condescending. This feeling inexplicably made him feel no hostility.
At that time, he didn't know that this feeling was called respect.
For more than ten years, he has never felt the warmth of these two words.
The clothes and skin of the person in front of me are so beautiful, even their eyes are so clean.
The wild child was distracted without realizing it.
"Please don't be nervous. Can you hear me clearly? I want to help you treat your wound, but I need you to take a shower first, otherwise the wound will easily get infected."
Jiang Changyi's voice was very soft, so soft, as if she was afraid that she would scare him.
Wild Child's hands were still shaking, but he still nodded to Jiang Changyi, though he looked a little confused.
Seeing that the wild child could understand what he said, Jiang Changyi felt relieved, because the child grew up with an old lady who could not speak, and it was very likely that he had a language barrier.
But at least for now, he is able to communicate.
But looking at the motionless wild child, Jiang Changyi asked hesitantly: "You... don't know how to take a bath?"
Judging from the smell and dirtiness of his body, he probably hasn't had a bath in a long time.
The wild child looked away and nodded imperceptibly.
"It's okay, I'll help you."
Jiang Changyi raised a gentle smile and stretched out his hand to help the wild child up, but the latter stood up by himself without touching his hand.
Jiang Changyi doesn't get angry over trivial matters. One characteristic of people who are inexperienced in the world is that they cannot learn to hide their emotions.
There was no anger, resistance or disgust on the wild child's face, but rather restraint, timidity and even shame.
So he didn't touch his hand, probably because he was worried that he would dislike him.
The wild child is a bit like the children in the movies who are raised by animals like wolves, foxes, and monkeys. He has a vague understanding of many social concepts, but Jiang Changyi feels that if she takes care of him, he should be able to slowly become like an ordinary person.
But... do I really want to keep him with me?
Jiang Changyi was a little hesitant. It was the end of the world now. If it were a peacetime, it might not be a big deal, but there were too many dangers and uncertainties in the end of the world. Just staying alive was difficult enough. Did he still have the energy to accompany a wild child?
The two went to the bathroom. Fortunately, the shower head was still spraying water. Although there was no hot water, it was early summer now, so it didn't matter if the older boy took a cold shower.
The wild boy's hair was also very dirty and tangled. Fortunately, Jiang Changyi had to use the clippers he had found to shave off all his hair.
"Wow, my technique is pretty good. Even though it was my first time, I did a great job."
Jiang Changyi looked at the wild child's hair with satisfaction. The latter looked at himself in the mirror confusedly and felt that he looked a little special.
He rubbed the stubble of hair that fell on his shoulders with his fingers. The rough touch under his fingertips made him feel very amused, and he couldn't help but grin with an innocent smile.
Looking at the wild child in front of him with a silly smile, Jiang Changyi was stunned.
His thin face gave him a prominent jawline, which complemented his sharp nose, making him look like a handsome, youthful man. His thin lips and single eyelids curved into a smile that made him look a bit naive, but his natural wildness and the bruises and blood stained his smile with a hint of ruffianism.
Now after shaving my hair, my whole face is even cleaner and neater.
Jiang Changyi could even imagine how handsome this face would be after washing it clean.
However, Jiang Changyi still felt a little distressed by the wild child's skinny body. Even he himself would not be like this when he was at his thinnest.
Jiang Changyi pointed the shower head at his hand, then slowly rubbed the water on the wild child's body with the water on his hand, allowing him to gradually adapt to the water temperature which was lower than his body temperature, and then slowly pointed the shower head at him.
Children all like to play with water, not to mention a wild kid whose mental age may be less than 19 years old. Not long after washing, he started splashing water everywhere.
"Oh, stop it!" Jiang Changyi's clothes got wet without him noticing, and the cold water made him shiver all over.
"Haha!" The wild child grinned, his smile was extremely sunny and pure like the crystal clear lake water in the scenic spot.
Seeing how happy he was, Jiang Changyi couldn't bear to blame him. At most, he could just change his clothes later.
The most important thing is that the child is happy.
When he was almost done washing, there was a knock on the door. Although Jiang Changyi was puzzled, he still walked out and opened the door.
"Chen Yonglong?"
Jiang Changyi was stunned. How did he know he was here?
Looking at Jiang Changyi, whose face was red and clothes were soaking wet, Chen Yonglong's heart skipped a beat and he asked him, "Why are your clothes so wet?"
"Ahem... my sister picked up a kid and I was giving him a bath. He was so noisy that he got all over me." Jiang Changyi licked his lips, feeling inexplicably nervous.
That’s not right. I haven’t done anything wrong. Why should I be nervous?
Thinking of this, Jiang Changyi instantly became confident and asked Chen Yonglong: "How did you know I was here?"
Chen Yonglong scratched his head. He didn't doubt Jiang Changyi, but he felt something was wrong. However, he couldn't figure out the reason, so he replied, "We were cleaning up the monsters in the school and happened to pass by here and saw your cousin, and then he told me you were here."
“…”
This Chu Yesheng is so sinister!
Knowing that I was busy, he didn't tell me in advance that Chen Yonglong was coming to see me!
Oh, oh, oh... It makes me feel like I'm doing something big behind everyone's back.
Although it was indeed a feast, I didn’t eat it at all!!
(Do you know what pork ribs are called? The portion and taste are amazing.)
Embarrassed, Jiang Changyi had to change the subject: "Did you guys clear out the monsters in the school so quickly?"
Chen Yonglong couldn't help but glance into the room: "Not yet."
"...Then why did you come to me? I'm not an awakened one. Are you going to ask me to fight monsters?" Jiang Changyi's eyes were full of resentment.
"Uh uh..." Chen Yonglong scratched his head innocently, his dark face slightly red. "I just came to see if you were in danger after returning from outside, Brother Jiang. If you were injured, I can call Lao Wang to help you with treatment."
"treat?"
If Jiang Changyi remembered correctly, Wang Xin's treatment method was...
