Chapter 83 Hmm... Is it really just hot water?
Sometimes Zong Qiong felt that Jiang Changyi was a really strange person.
No one ever told him to enjoy life, let alone love himself.
If even his own father doesn't love him, then that means love is not something very important, right?
As a child, he didn't do well in school and had no passion for studying or research. Like other children his age, he was curious but had limited concentration, and he enjoyed watching cartoons and playing with toys.
But every time the test results came out, the silent disappointment in his father's eyes would hurt his young and tender heart again and again.
Zong Wusheng never scolded him or beat him. He just looked at him calmly and returned the report card to him: "Oh, you didn't do well on the test. It doesn't matter."
What is more painful than scolding is probably never having any expectations of you.
This feeling made Zong Qiong feel like he was walking on a tightrope, walking cautiously towards his father standing on the other side.
The wire was shaking, and I felt like I would fall at any time and become a child abandoned by my father.
Gradually, Zong Qiong stopped watching cartoons and playing with toys, refused to communicate and play with other children, and tried hard to make Zong Wusheng see his excellence.
Zong Qiong was able to win the national Go competition when he was in elementary school, and he excelled in various competitions in junior high and high school.
But even so, the look in Zong Wusheng's eyes when he looked at him didn't seem to be tainted with much fatherly love.
However, Zong Qiong gradually got used to this feeling and even felt that this was how it should be.
Until he met Jiang Changyi, a boy whose way of thinking was always a little eccentric, and the logic behind the words he said was always difficult for him to understand.
"Okay, I also put in some sea salt, gardenia and mint bath salts for you."
Jiang Changyi watched with satisfaction as the colorful essential oils and fragrance spread in the bathtub.
"It's fragrant and warm, just thinking about it makes me feel good. I'm leaving now, enjoy it~"
"I'm warning you! You're not allowed to come out until you've soaked for half an hour. I'll use my mental scan to monitor you!"
Zong Qiong: “…”
"Then what's the difference between you and staying here?"
Jiang Changyi grinned: "Well, then I won't leave?"
Zong Qiong's expression remained unchanged, as cold as ever, but his cheeks were red, perhaps due to the steam from the hot water. "No, you should get out."
"Haha." Jiang Changyi was in a good mood. "Remember, at least half an hour~"
Jiang Changyi considerately helped him close the door before leaving.
Looking at the colorful bathtub filled with bubbles, Zong Qiong fell silent.
This kind of thing...what's the point?
It can neither strengthen the body nor improve physical fitness. It just looks colorful. Maybe it can cultivate color sensitivity for children, but he is already an adult.
"I'm still here~"
Jiang Changyi's voice came from outside the door.
"If you don't get in the water now, it's going to get cold~"
Zong Qiong: “…”
"knew!"
To be honest, Zong Qiong didn't actually mind Jiang Changyi staying in there. He was not sensitive to such things.
But it doesn't matter anyway.
Zong Qiong hung up his clothes and went into the water.
"call……"
The water temperature is just right, not too hot but not too cold either.
The perfect temperature opens the skin pores and relaxes the sore muscles.
Zong Qiong has actually stopped taking medication for some time. Now his body hormones have almost returned to normal levels, and his body's perception ability has recovered.
Before this, his body perception was really numb, but with the relaxation of hot water, his perception ability was enhanced.
From the previous numbness to the current intensification, such a strong sense of difference has actually increased the comfort of soaking in hot water.
“Hmm…”
Zong Qiong subconsciously touched his face, and the scorching temperature made him feel extremely surprised.
How could it be...
How can you be so relaxed?
This strange feeling... makes my heart beat so fast...
Is this really just hot water?
Zong Qiong scooped up a handful of water and wiped it on his face. The warm water was very comfortable, and he instantly felt relaxed all over.
Hmm... soaking in a hot spring seems to be really nice...
This last thought flashed through Zong Qiong's mind before he fell asleep.
…
When I woke up, it was already half dark, and the purple sunset glow hung in the distant sky.
etc,
Why am I under the covers?
Hmm...why would I care about something like this?
Zong Qiong suddenly laughed, then shook his head helplessly.
After a while, Jiang Changyi's mental connection was connected.
Jiang Changyi: "Are you awake?"
Zong Qiong: “Yeah.”
Jiang Changyi: "Did you sleep well?"
Zong Qiong: "Thanks to the new bedding you changed, the quilt and sheets are very comfortable."
Jiang Changyi: "Hey, you're welcome."
Zong Qiong: ...
I don't think I said thank you.
Jiang Changyi: "Why don't you ask me how you managed to teleport?"
Zong Qiong: "...Do you think I need to ask?"
"Haha." Jiang Changyi's laughter was full of energy even in the mental connection. "You must be hungry, right? Quickly pack up and come to my place for dinner. My mom has cooked a lot of delicious dishes tonight, just waiting for you!"
“Hmm…”
Zong Qiong had never encountered such a situation before and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Moreover, he had just woken up, and the drowsiness made his brain reaction speed a little slow.
This feeling was very unfamiliar to him, and he was very sensitive, but... there was no medicine that could keep him in that state.
"Got it. I'll be right there."
Zong Qiong stretched and felt refreshed all over, as if his body had come back to life.
After changing into clean clothes, Zong Qiong came to Jiang Changyi's room.
When I arrived, I realized that there were so many people here today——
Chen Yonglong, Ma Jianyue, Guo Beibei, Wan Xiaoyu, Wang Xin and Wei Lang, the core members who originally guarded the cafeteria together, have all arrived.
In addition, of course, there are Jiang Changyi’s family members.
Jiang Changyi waved to him: "Come on, come on, sit down, they just arrived."
Zong Qiong suddenly felt that he didn't know how to get along with others, and sat down on the stool in a daze.
He connected to Jiang Changyi's mental link and asked him what was going on.
——In fact, this was Wu Wanqiu’s suggestion.
When she knew that a rather introverted friend would come to dinner tonight and Jiang Changyi wanted him to feel the warmth, she suggested that Jiang Changyi invite Zong Qiong's familiar friends to come along.
She said, "People are actually social animals at heart. When there are more people, it's lively and warm. It's a pity that we can't have a reunion dinner right now, but it should be similar for you young people to get together with a few friends."
