Chapter 48 Flesh and Blood
As the king of children in Tong'an County, Jiang Zhao participated in various chasing activities with high intensity. If there was WeChat Daily Sports at that time, her daily exercise steps would definitely be ranked first among children in Tong'an County.
As the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
She fell and fought a lot when she was a child.
He fell on the road and his knees and palms were covered with injuries. Li Xiuying then took him to a small clinic at the entrance of the community and had iodine or gentian violet applied to his skin.
The doctor in the small clinic was rough and Jiang Zhao often grimaced in pain.
The more times you do it, the more your pain tolerance increases.
So her first reaction was to jump to the infirmary by herself.
However, before she could say anything, Luo Yan walked in front of her, squatted down, and said, "I'll carry you."
"ah?"
Jiang Zhao said without hesitation: "Let me make it clear first, if you say I'm heavy I'll scold you!"
"How could that be? It's because I lack exercise."
"There is awareness."
In Jiang Zhao's memory, this was the first time she was carried on someone's back.
When she was little, she didn't want Li Xiuying to suffer, so no matter how badly she fell, she could walk home.
After arriving in Mingyuan, she controlled her temper and tried to be a "good child", so she naturally didn't fall and get hurt again.
The first time Jiang Zhao lay on Luo Yan's back, he was confused.
It's like someone has taken control of my body.
Then came the cold smell of the boy, like a melting glacier.
She hugged Luo Yan's neck, but felt something was wrong, so she turned to grab his shoulders and ended up touching the boy's collarbone.
Jiang Zhao panicked for a moment, grabbed Luo Yan's school uniform, and ripped open the collar.
Jiang Zhao: “…”
In fact, Luo Yan carried her very steadily, and it seemed that she didn't need to hold on to anything.
After realizing this, Jiang Zhao felt that he was probably a pervert who forced a good boy to do something.
Jiang Zhao decided to change the subject and save his face.
She said: "Our school's admission fee is not one million."
"I know." Luo Yan said, "Ning Zhiyuan is not that cruel."
Jiang Zhao was amused by him and asked, "Why were you outside just now?"
"Someone was daydreaming early this morning and wasn't even in the classroom until almost time for class. I came out to check."
Luo Yan felt that he had never been so nervous in his life.
He clenched his fists and supported Jiang Zhao's legs.
But Jiang Zhao had no self-awareness at all, and was not at all at peace, keeping touching around with his hands.
Her breath was right next to his ear as she spoke.
Jiang Zhao was very thankful: "It's a good thing you were here just now, you really scared me to death."
She had clearly persuaded Jiang Shengnan to come down, and Jiang Zhao didn't dare to imagine how she would feel if she jumped in front of her.
"Have you been thinking about Jiang Shengnan all morning?"
"Yes." Jiang Zhao said: "Shengnan didn't return to the dormitory yesterday, and she has been working really hard recently."
Classmates only knew that Jiang Shengnan was busy doing exercises in the classroom every day.
Since she lives with Jiang Shengnan, she knows even better that Jiang Shengnan has been sleeping too late recently.
Jiang Zhao also tried to persuade her, but Jiang Shengnan just asked: "Did I disturb your sleep?"
After hearing Jiang Zhao say no, Jiang Shengnan continued to study hard and had no interest in talking at all. It seemed that the conversation with Jiang Zhao had affected her studies.
"Is it just because of this?" Luo Yan asked.
"because……"
Because the moment she saw Jiang Shengnan's results, she remembered a few months ago, or to be exact, the day before she came back.
She looked through the names of the class group members many times, but Luo Yan was not among them.
There is no Jiang Shengnan either.
She had previously thought that, given Jiang Shengnan's personality, she probably had left the group, or had never joined the WeChat classmates group at all.
Jiang Zhao swallowed and said, "Because I had a dream yesterday."
"I dreamed that ten years later, the class monitor invited me to join our class WeChat group. I looked through the members many times, but Jiang Shengnan was not among them."
"To predict the future?"
"I guess so."
Jiang Zhao lay on Luo Yan's shoulder and suddenly felt very sad.
She sniffed and joked, "It just goes to show that sometimes you have to be a little idealistic."
The infirmary is on the first floor of the activity center.
There was only one female school doctor there in the morning, and the door was half-open.
When they reached the door, Jiang Zhao stretched out his hand and was carried in.
The school doctor asked, "What's wrong?"
"I didn't look at the road and fell down." Jiang Zhao said.
"Go sit over there."
Luo Yan followed the school doctor's instructions and placed Jiang Zhao on the bed in the infirmary.
The school doctor rolled up Jiang Zhao's school pants.
Under his school pants, Jiang Zhao's knees were bruised and bleeding, looking extremely scary against his snow-white skin.
The blood on one side had already flowed down to the calf and had coagulated into a blood scab.
Jiang Zhao kept smiling after he entered the room. The school doctor didn't expect it to be so serious and took a breath.
"How did you fall like this?" she said, glancing at Luo Yan, her expression clearly asking: Did you push him?
Jiang Zhao explained: "I was running too fast, I didn't look where I was going, and I tripped over the stairs."
"Don't run around in school. Girls, be careful. It's not good to get scars."
The school doctor found a large bottle of alcohol from the cabinet and prepared to rinse Jiang Zhao's wound first.
At this time, a report came from the door of the infirmary.
Before the school doctor could answer, a thin and small boy came in.
The boy was limping as he walked, there was a purple spot on his cheekbone, and the corners of his mouth were covered in blood. He looked like he had vomited blood, which was very scary.
The school doctor asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The boy seemed a little slow to react.
The school doctor asked again loudly, and the boy lowered his head and said, "I fell."
"Can you hit your face if you fall?"
The boy saw someone inside and moved to a chair on the side, sitting down shakily: "Um... I bumped into the steps."
"You hit your face like this on the stairs?" The school doctor didn't believe the boy's lies. "Which class are you in? Who's your homeroom teacher? I'll ask your teacher to check."
The school doctor was actually not sure and just wanted to trick the boy, but he was so panicked that he stood up and said, "I don't want to see it anymore," and ran out.
How could the school doctor just let it go? She put down the alcohol and said to Jiang Zhao, "Student, please wait a moment."
Chased after him.
Only Jiang Zhao and Luo Yan were left in the infirmary.
Jiang Zhao picked up the iodine tincture next to him, studied it for a while, unscrewed the bottle, and was about to pour it on his knees.
As soon as the bottle tilted a little, Luo Yan held his hand.
Luo Yan frowned: "What are you doing?"
"I'll take care of it myself first and put a Band-Aid on it later." Jiang Zhao continued to gesture on his wound.
It's just a knee injury, a Band-Aid probably won't be very effective.
Luo Yan took the medicine from her: "Let me do it."
He found cotton wool and tweezers on the table, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured it in.
Then he used tweezers to pick up the cotton soaked in medicine and carefully wiped the wound on Jiang Zhao's leg.
For a moment, Jiang Zhao felt his skin tense up.
Perhaps it was because the exposed wound was clearly visible to the other party.
Or maybe it's because the flesh beneath the skin has been touched.
The cold touch burned Jiang Zhao's face along with the flowing blood.
Jiang Zhao's face was completely red.
She could only be thankful that Luo Yan had been keeping his head down, concentrating on treating the wound on her leg, and hadn't noticed.
