The pier here is quite far from home, which delayed us a lot of time. It was already dark when we were halfway there.
Fortunately, there are lights near the family area.
Lin Jiaojiao thought to herself and quickened her pace.
Who would have thought that the lights-out signal would sound just as we arrived near the family area.
Don't be so unlucky, okay?
She couldn't help but complain, and with a click, all the street lights went out.
It is particularly dark today. It is so pitch black that you can't see your hand in front of you. There is not even a star in the sky.
“Woof woof woof!”
"Woof woof!"
“…”
The occasional barking of dogs around was almost continuous.
Lin Jiaojiao is actually not a timid person, but the atmosphere today is a bit too exaggerated.
A gust of sea breeze blew by, and there was a sparse noise in my ears.
I always feel like someone is following me.
But when I look back, I can't see anything...
The stronger this feeling became, the more numb her scalp became.
Home was still some distance away, and she was considering whether to take out a flashlight from the space to light the way when suddenly a beam of light shot over from a distance.
The dazzling light instantly made her alert!
"Is it Jiaojiao?"
"..." Lin Jiaojiao looked up in disbelief. Although it was blurry, she recognized the man not far away holding a flashlight to illuminate her way: "Ji Huaian!"
"Why are you here alone?"
Ji Huaian was sure it was Lin Jiaojiao, so he quickened his pace worriedly.
The person on the other side was also very excited. It was so exciting to see a familiar person when you were most vulnerable and scared!
He was so excited that he rushed towards the person opposite him without caring about anything!
"careful!"
"ah!"
Ji Huaian noticed that something was wrong with Lin Jiaojiao's feet and was about to remind her.
He saw someone rushing towards him.
Lin Jiaojiao only felt that something suddenly blocked her feet, and her whole body lost balance in an instant and fell forward. She wanted to regain her balance and stand firm, but her foot missed and she suddenly tilted to one side.
The moment I threw myself into the strong arms in front of me, I felt a sharp pain in my ankle!
Ji Huaian felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly hugged the person in his arms with one hand and looked down.
"No, no, no! Don't move! It hurts!"
I was already quite scared, and now I sprained my ankle and it hurts so much.
Now in this familiar and warm embrace, Lin Jiaojiao felt an inexplicable grievance, and her eyes were slightly sore.
Even the voice of his voice changed.
Ji Huaian didn't dare to move after hearing that. He turned his back halfway and squatted in front of Lin Jiaojiao: "Come up."
Lin Jiaojiao didn't hesitate, she moved slightly and threw herself on the broad and straight back.
Ji Huaian grabbed Lin Jiaojiao's knee, stood up effortlessly, and walked quickly towards home.
With Ji Huaian's company, Lin Jiaojiao no longer felt afraid.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why are you out at this hour?"
"I'm here to pick you up."
"Pick me up? Didn't I tell mom that I wouldn't be going home tonight? Why are you coming out to pick me up at this time?"
"I'm afraid you'll come back."
"..." Lin Jiaojiao was a little surprised and turned her head slightly to look at the person in front of her: "But I said I can't come back?"
"Feel."
"You mean you could sense my return?"
"Um."
"That's amazing!"
The two chatted casually, with Lin Jiaojiao basically asking questions and Ji Huaian answering.
When we got home, Zhang Xiao'e and the children were already asleep.
Ji Huaian gently placed Lin Jiaojiao on the sofa, accurately found the candle in the dark and lit it, then returned to his side, half squatted down and gently lifted her foot. Only then could he see clearly that there was a large area of redness and swelling on her left ankle.
Lin Jiaojiao didn't expect it to be so serious!
Just as I was feeling annoyed, I heard her whisper, "Mom was afraid you'd come back tonight, so she left some food for you in the kitchen. Do you want to eat some?"
I wasn't hungry originally.
But looking at the food on the table, Lin Jiaojiao felt warm in her heart and did not refuse.
Ji Huaian carried her to the dining table and went to the backyard alone.
After a while, he came back with a bucket of hot water.
I also went to the bedroom to get the ointment.
"I don't need to..."
"Be good and sit still."
Lin Jiaojiao heard Ji Huaian's tone that did not allow for refusal and had no choice but to let him do it.
Ji Huaian carefully took off her shoes and socks and slowly put her feet into the water one by one.
The warm water dispelled the fatigue of the day.
The dull pain in my left ankle was also slightly relieved.
However, Ji Huaian didn't let her soak for too long. After soaking for a while, he put both feet in his arms and slowly wiped them dry.
He took out the ointment, applied it little by little on the injured area, and massaged it gently.
During this period, he would look up from time to time to ask about the strength.
Lin Jiaojiao looked at Ji Huaian holding her feet, treating them as treasures.
That’s right, I treasure it like a treasure…
The corner of my heart was even softer.
"Does it still hurt?"
"Much better."
"Then I'll take you to wash up."
Lin Jiaojiao nodded obediently, did not refuse, and took the initiative to hook Ji Huaian's neck.
After washing up, Ji Huaian carried her back to the bed in the bedroom and then washed up himself very quickly.
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the man who had finished his work and was lying down beside her, and moved a little closer: "We haven't been talking properly lately, are you angry?"
