My legs are better off just being ruined!
The next day, Zhou Junchang did not go to work.
He went to the hospital because he ate cake.
He didn't feel much discomfort while eating it and thought he had just eaten too much. Later, he found out he was lactose intolerant.
After that, Zhou Junchang stopped eating sweets much, so he didn't know he had this condition.
Even though he rarely eats this kind of thing, Zhou Jun ate it all because it had been prepared by Xu Li.
Looking back, Zhou Jun often felt that he was ridiculously foolish.
At that time, Zhou Jun only thought about how it was a gift from Xu Li and made by Xu Li herself, so he only wanted to eat it by himself. He was afraid it would spoil if left until tomorrow, and he couldn't bear to give it to someone else.
The gift is just an ordinary gift, but because it has a special meaning, it is given more significance.
Zhou Jun often sits on a chair outside the hospital, holding the test report in his hand.
I'm feeling a bit sleepy now because my stomach was a little upset yesterday and I didn't sleep well last night.
When Zhou Junchang woke up, he didn't know how much time had passed.
Zhou Jun often took his legs out from under the chair. The chair was quite low, and at over 1.8 meters tall, it was really difficult to put his legs there. Putting them in the middle of the road would block the way, so he could only put them under the chair. Because he had been sleeping for a while, his legs were a little numb at this time.
Zhou Jun straightened up and looked up to see Zhou Ji sitting in front of him.
Zhou Junchang never expected to see Zhou Ji here.
Zhou Ji wasn't wearing a suit; he was dressed casually in a short-sleeved shirt and jeans, and also wearing a black baseball cap.
It looks like they've been sitting here for quite a while.
"Boss."
Zhou Ji got up and sat down next to Zhou Junchang, saying, "Why are you sitting here?"
Zhou Junchang was still holding the medical report on his phone, not in his pocket. It wasn't appropriate to hide it directly in front of Zhou Ji, but I still unconsciously shrank to the side.
Seemingly sensing that Zhou Junchang was trying to hide something, Zhou Ji consciously looked away and asked Zhou Junchang directly, "What are you doing at the hospital?"
"You ate something bad."
Zhou Junchang wasn't afraid to tell Zhou Ji why he felt unwell, but he was afraid that Zhou Ji would ask him more questions, such as where the cake came from.
But as soon as he said that, he regretted it. What did he mean by saying he ate something bad? Birthday cake isn't anything bad; it's just that Zhou Junchang can't eat that much.
Zhou Ji smiled gently, seemingly unconcerned about the reason.
Zhou Jun usually doesn't ask too many questions about other people's affairs, especially since it's his boss, so he's even less likely to ask.
Perhaps he's sick like me, perhaps there are his friends here, or perhaps it's related to his new project...
In short, Zhou Ji came here for many reasons, but Zhou Junchang had neither the mood nor the right to inquire about any of them.
The two sat on a chair for a long time before Zhou Ji spoke again: "I heard there's a doctor from abroad here."
Zhou Jun nodded, knowing that Zhou Ji was explaining why he was there.
Zhou Junchang remained silent.
Zhou Ji smiled slightly. He knew that Zhou Junchang wouldn't ask about such things, but he was explaining himself here. Even if he needed someone to confide in, Zhou Junchang would never be a suitable person to confide in.
But Zhou Ji felt a sense of familiarity with Zhou Jun. Perhaps when you confide in someone, you don't need a response; it's enough if someone is willing to listen.
Zhou Ji asked, "Is there anything else?"
Zhou Junchang: "I still need to get the medicine."
Zhou Ji came out and sat on a chair at the hospital entrance, waiting for Zhou Junchang. His mouth was a little empty, and he habitually wanted to smoke. He reached into his pocket but only found chewing gum. Then, as if remembering something, Zhou Ji smiled helplessly and popped a piece into his mouth.
Zhou Junchang walked out of the hospital with one hand in his pocket and the other hand holding the medicine prescribed by the doctor.
The two men walked side by side, and Zhou Ji didn't bring up the hospital again, but they exchanged a few words every now and then.
They inadvertently mentioned that Zhou Ji had previously asked Zhou Jun to frequently guard the golf course.
Before Zhou Jun could ask, Zhou Ji spoke first: "Did you ask Xu Li about going to the golf course?"
Zhou Jun often shook his head.
Zhou Ji smiled silently: "Judging from your expression, you won't even ask. It seems I should have told you beforehand."
Before they knew it, the two had arrived at a moonlit night.
Speak of the devil, and he appears; the two had just passed the moonlit night when they saw Xu Li across the street.
Xu Li was outside, so she wore a coat.
Xu Li didn't recognize Zhou Ji at first, thinking he was Zhou Junchang's friend again.
Upon approaching, they recognized Zhou Ji and greeted the two men with a smile: "What are you two doing here?"
Then he looked at Zhou Ji and asked, "General Manager Zhou, you're here to inspect our work again?"
"Xu Li."
Sometimes Xu Li has a sharp tongue, and Zhou Ji will call Xu Li by his full name, but his tone isn't harsh; he just wants to give her a little reminder.
Xu Li was used to Zhou Ji's behavior. Thinking that she still had to have lunch, she didn't linger any longer and turned to leave.
Zhou Ji didn't know if Zhou Junchang was going to Mingyue Night again today, nor did he know if Zhou Junchang went to the hospital early this morning, or if he went to Mingyue Night first and then felt unwell before going to the hospital.
Zhou Ji: "Do you want to go back to Bright Moon Night?"
"Let's go check it out when we get there; there shouldn't be anything wrong."
"Yes, there are fewer people in winter."
Zhou Ji let Zhou Junchang leave, and the two parted ways under the bright moonlight.
Zhou Jun often puts the medicine in the drawer by the door when he comes in. He doesn't just know if A Feng came today. If A Feng sees this, he'll have a big mouth and spread all sorts of rumors.
After taking a stroll around under the bright moonlight, Zhou Junchang didn't find anything amiss. There were still customers, and even though the few shop assistants were busy, things were quite relaxed.
Then I tidied up the bar area, planning to go back after cleaning it up.
At this moment, Xu Li, dragging his limping leg, entered Mingyueye.
It looked fine when I left, but now it's like this when I come back in.
Xu Li stood in front of Zhou Junchang, forcing a smile and pretending that she was still "normal".
Zhou Junchang showed no mercy: "What's wrong with your leg?"
Xu Li said, "Nothing much."
Xu Li hadn't seen Zhou Junchang all morning and thought he hadn't come to work today for the first time. Then, when she went out at noon, she saw Zhou Ji and Zhou Junchang standing together at the door. Although she didn't know what they were doing, it seemed that Zhou Junchang had indeed not come to Mingyue Night all day.
It must have been just after school. Although the snow had stopped, the snow on the streets hadn't completely melted, and some places were still covered with thick ice. Xu Li wasn't paying attention and stepped on the ice, her knee hitting the step and scraping against it.
Zhou Junchang walked directly out from behind the bar and squatted down in front of Xu Li, immediately noticing Xu Li's knees.
Zhou Jun walked over to the bar to get the first-aid kit, and pointed to the sofa next to Xu Li: "Sit down."
The tone wasn't very friendly, so Xu Li didn't say anything more in protest and found a nearby empty sofa to sit down.
Zhou Jun often carried a medical kit, and with a swift movement, he twisted Xu Li's leg around, his actions not gentle, but rather somewhat hasty.
The wound was aggravated, and Xu Li took a deep breath.
Xu Li's flesh-colored leggings had been ripped open, revealing the wound inside, which was still slowly bleeding.
Xu Li had no idea what Zhou Jun was looking for in the first-aid kit; she was only thinking about getting rid of the pain.
Xu Li's voice trembled slightly from the pain, but she still managed to say, "Don't...use alcohol..."
Although both alcohol and iodine can be used for disinfection, iodine is generally used to disinfect wounds that involve bleeding and flesh. Xu Li didn't know the difference between the two, only that alcohol disinfection would be very painful.
Zhou Junchang looked up at Xu Li and murmured an "Mmm".
Although Zhou Jun usually uses iodine solution, it still hurts a lot when the cotton swab touches the wound, so Xu Li moved away.
Xu Li almost burst into tears, biting her lip and stubbornly holding back her tears until her face turned red.
Zhou Junchang held Xu Li's ankle with one hand to prevent Xu Li from pulling her foot away.
Suddenly, Xu Li felt a chill on her knee and realized that Zhou Junchang was blowing air onto the wound.
Xu Li sat on the sofa, while Zhou Junchang squatted on the floor. From Xu Li's perspective, she could only see Zhou Junchang's hair and could not make out his facial movements or expressions.
Feeling the breath Zhou Junchang was exhaling, it was itchy and intermittent.
Xu Li felt somewhat lost, unsure whether the pain had truly subsided or if she had simply forgotten it.
Zhou Junchang clearly felt that Xu Li's strength in her foot had decreased a little, and the hand holding Xu Li's ankle also relaxed.
It seems that blowing air does have some effect.
After disinfecting the wound, Zhou Junchang began bandaging Xu Li's wound.
Because the wound was quite large, the band-aid couldn't be applied.
Xu Li watched Zhou Junchang bending down to cut white gauze bandages, feeling somewhat reluctant to have her feet wrapped up like that.
"Could we... not use this?"
"If we don't use this, what will we use?"
"..."
Xu Li tried to pull her foot back, but Zhou Junchang pulled it back forcefully.
Xu Li muttered to herself, "How am I supposed to go to work wrapped up like this?"
"Is your leg more important or your few hundred dollars?"
"This looks so ugly."
"If you don't want to be wrapped up like this, then you should watch the road carefully from the beginning."
"I didn't say I tripped while walking..."
Zhou Jun clicked his tongue, frowned as he looked at Xu Li, and even stopped what he was doing.
Xu Li knew he was in the wrong and didn't try to argue anymore.
Then I saw Zhou Junchang bending down and applying something to his wound.
Xu Li still harbored a sliver of hope: "Is it really impossible to not include this?"
Zhou Junchang refused him sternly and firmly.
But it really looks ugly, though Xu Li didn't say it out loud, she could only think it silently in her heart.
If Zhou Junchang heard this, he would definitely be scolded.
Why should Xu Li talk about something that can't change the outcome, and risk getting scolded?
Finally, Zhou Jun often tied the bandages properly.
The white bandages over the flesh-colored stockings looked rather out of place.
Xu Li pursed her lips, not knowing what else to say.
Zhou Junchang went behind the bar and didn't come out, continuing to tidy up his things with a sullen face.
Even a fool could see that Zhou Jun was angry. He was perfectly fine with Zhou Ji just a moment ago, but now, in just a short while, his face had turned sour again.
Xu Li's wound was still throbbing, and with her leg bandaged like this, she wasn't in a good mood.
One person sat on the sofa, and another stood at the bar. They didn't talk, but there seemed to be some kind of unspoken communication between them.
They were both giving each other the cold shoulder, but neither of them was willing to offer the other a way out.
After Zhou Junchang finished packing and prepared to go back, Xu Li was still sitting on the sofa. Without asking Xu Li anything, Zhou Junchang went straight out and left.
I had just stepped out the door when I realized I'd forgotten my medication, so I went back to get it.
I saw Xu Li poking at the bandage with her hand, doing something I didn't know.
Zhou Jun often thought that Xu Li would take off the bandage while he was away, and he got even angrier after class.
"I might as well just cripple my legs!"
Zhou Jun took the medicine, didn't look at it again, and turned to leave.
