Tang Miao’s house is a large three-bedroom apartment.
The design of three bedrooms and two living rooms is comfortable and simple in style, and very full of life.
Although He Xiao had lived next door for a long time, this was his first time in the house next door. After entering, Tang Miao asked him to sit at the marble table in the restaurant facing the entrance, and limped to the refrigerator to get him some prepared fruit tea.
After pouring tea for He Xiao, Tang Miao went to the bathroom in the study and the second bedroom to wash his feet. Then, he sat down on the sofa in the living room and prepared to apply ice.
She sprained her right ankle.
Although He Xiao carried her all the way back, her ankle was swollen because she didn't take any treatment after the sprain. The skin on the outside of her ankle was stretched a little transparent because of the swelling, and she could see the protruding ankle bone and tiny blue blood vessels.
After Tang Miao sat on the sofa, she lifted her right foot and placed it on the sofa for ice application. After lifting it, she took an ice pack and applied it to the swollen area.
This ice pack position is not convenient.
It was even a little awkward because she had her right foot raised and resting on the sofa, which made her posture a little twisted. In addition, she had to take the ice pack and twist her body to see where the swelling was, and then apply the ice pack to that spot.
But it was not easy. Tang Miao tried several times but failed to get the ice to stick. Just as she was twisting her body to find the angle and clumsily applying the ice pack to her ankle, He Xiao stood up from the dining table and walked over.
"Let me do it." He Xiao reached out and took the ice pack.
After applying it for a while, Tang Miao was already sweating because of the difficult posture. After He Xiao finished speaking, she looked up at him gratefully and said.
"Thanks."
After accepting Tang Miao's thank you for who knows how many times today, He Xiao squatted on one knee in front of her with an ice pack in his hand.
As he squatted down, Tang Miao's perspective of looking at him changed from looking up to looking down.
He Xiao held the ice pack in one hand, and Tang Miao's right leg had already been lowered from the sofa. He held Tang Miao's calf with one hand. The woman's skeleton was very slender, and He Xiao could hold even the calf with one hand.
His palms were a little cold because of the glass of fruit tea he had just drunk. The cool feeling was continuously transmitted to Tang Miao's skin through the skin of his palms, which was somewhat comfortable. Just as Tang Miao was feeling this, her ankles were instantly covered by a touch of coldness.
"ah."
Tang Miao called out softly.
The ice pack was too cold. Because of the swelling at her ankle, the skin temperature was higher than the surrounding skin. The coldness penetrated into her delicate skin, and Tang Miao cried out.
He Xiao paused holding the ice pack, then he looked up at her.
Because of the action just now, Tang Miao's face was a little red. She lowered her head and looked at He Xiao nervously, and said.
"It's a bit cold."
He Xiao looked at her for a while, then lowered his head.
"Be patient." He Xiao said.
He Xiao said this, Tang Miao looked at him lowering his head and replied, "Okay."
After Tang Miao responded, He Xiao continued to apply ice to her. This time, Tang Miao didn't say a word.
-
Except for the strange feeling at the beginning, after He Xiao applied ice to her, she didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore. In fact, the cold air from the ice pack lowered the temperature of the swollen part, and even the pain caused by the sprain disappeared.
After He Xiao applied ice to her, Tang Miao applied the medicated oil herself.
After applying the medicated oil, the originally sprained area was gradually soaked with a layer of coolness, and it felt much more comfortable. Tang Miao sat on the sofa, and it was difficult to move his legs after applying the medicated oil. He Xiao took an ice pack, looked at Tang Miao sitting on the sofa, and said.
"I'm going back."
Tang Miao shifted his gaze from his sprained ankle to look at He Xiao.
Originally, He Xiao helped her get ice cubes, and she invited him to her house to drink fruit tea, and also made ice compresses for her. It was getting late now, and it was indeed time to leave.
So after He Xiao finished speaking, Tang Miao nodded and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." After Tang Miao said thank you countless times, He Xiao replied with this.
After saying this, Tang Miao smiled. He Xiao glanced at her smile and left Tang Miao's house.
The man left very decisively. After saying goodbye, he walked out of her house. Before leaving, he did not forget to close the door for her.
Hearing the sound of the door closing at the entrance, Tang Miao lowered his head, looked at his swollen ankle and smiled.
-
After leaving Tang Miao's house, He Xiao returned home.
The weather was too hot at night, and he was sweating all over after carrying Tang Miao back. After entering the house, He Xiao raised his hand to take off his clothes, and then went into the bathroom at home.
After taking a cold shower in the bathroom, He Xiao wiped his body, put on a pair of shorts, and went to the balcony of his home.
He Xiao's house is not big, but it is very empty. There is almost no furniture in the house, and there is nothing on the balcony except for a few floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
He Xiao came to the balcony, took a cigarette and lit it.
After all this trouble, it's already past ten o'clock.
As the night went on, the darkness became thicker. The weather had been bad recently, with a thick layer of clouds floating in the dark sky, and not even a single star could be seen.
He Xiao looked at the sultry night and smoked a cigarette in front of the balcony.
He Xiao is not a heavy smoker. Sometimes he smokes to keep himself awake so that he can have a clear mind when writing songs. After smoking a cigarette, He Xiao put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can beside him.
After doing all this, He Xiao went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and returned to the bedroom to sleep.
He Xiao’s sleep is okay.
I usually sleep only when I feel sleepy, so I fell asleep soon after I lay down. Although the weather is hot now, the air conditioner is on in the bedroom, so the temperature is cool and suitable.
He Xiao lay on the bed, closed his eyes, slept for a while, and then opened them again.
He had just finished taking a shower, but his body became hot again.
He Xiao opened his eyes and looked at the dark ceiling.
"ah."
A voice sounded in my mind.
The sound was very light, like the sound of breath coming from the chest, but at the same time it moved the vocal cords, bringing out some warmth and sweetness.
He Xiao lay on the bed, frowning.
Then, he sat up from the bed.

Although his foot was injured, Tang Miao still went to the music store early the next morning. As soon as he arrived at the store, he ran into Yu Yaya who had also just arrived.
Tang Miao walked into the music store with such inconvenience in her legs and feet. When Yu Yaya saw her like this, she hurried to her side, supported her, and asked nervously.
"Are you okay?"
With Yu Yaya holding him like this, Tang Miao felt a little more relaxed. When Yu Yaya asked nervously, Tang Miao smiled and said, "It's okay, I just sprained it."
"How did you sprain it?" Yu Yaya asked.
As for how he sprained his ankle, that’s a long story. Tang Miao looked at Yu Yaya’s face full of worry and concern and said simply.
"I fell down."
After Tang Miao finished speaking, Yu Yaya looked at her swollen ankle again, frowned and complained: "Why are you so careless?"
In fact, Tang Miao's ankle was not that serious. After she sprained it yesterday, He Xiao carried her back home, so it didn't get more seriously sprained. After returning home, she applied ice and medicated oil, and it got much better after a good night's sleep. It was just that her ankle seemed to be more swollen than yesterday, and there were some bruises and purple bruises on it, which looked a bit shocking.
"I didn't see it. I tripped." Tang Miao looked down at his ankle.
As the two were talking about the injured foot, the front desk girl Jiang also leaned out to take a look at Tang Miao's foot. After seeing it, she was also shocked and asked Tang Miao, "Teacher Tang, your injury is so serious, do you want to take a leave?"
After Xiao Jiang finished speaking, Tang Miao looked up at her and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt much, and you can pedal with your left foot. I sprained my right foot, so it won't affect me."
"Dedicated!" Xiao Jiang gave a thumbs up and commented.
When Xiao Jiang was praising Tang Miao, Yu Yaya had already supported Tang Miao and said, "Let's go back to the classroom first."
"good."
After saying that, Yu Yaya helped Tang Miao upstairs.
-
After arriving at the piano classroom upstairs, Yu Yaya's frown still showed no sign of relaxing. She attributed all the reasons for Tang Miao's sprained ankle to Qiu Yu.
"I told you not to substitute for her. If you weren't substituting for her, you wouldn't have fallen down like that."
Listening to Yu Yaya's complaints, Tang Miao knew that she was concerned about him, so he raised his hand and pinched her cheek, smiling and saying, "It's not that serious, I was just careless. Besides, even if I don't substitute for Teacher Qiu, I will have more students in the future, so I still have to schedule classes in the evening."
Tang Miao was still trying to excuse Qiu Yu, and Yu Yaya rolled her eyes at her in disappointment.
Even though he was given a cold look, Tang Miao was not angry. He went over and hugged Yu Yaya.
Being hugged by her sister like this, Yu Yaya was like a balloon that had been deflated, and she couldn't get any more air in. She snorted and said, "What belongs to her is hers, but you don't need to cover her class. My friend took a picture of her yesterday, and she went to a bar with someone else. She said she had something to do, and she just wanted to go out and have fun."
"Okay." Tang Miao responded honestly.
After talking about Qiu Yu, Yu Yaya talked about Tang Miao again. She looked at Tang Miao, lowered her head and said to her: "You should have evening classes in the future. When you have evening classes in the future, you should take a taxi back."
Tang Miao was looking down at her ankle. After hearing what Yu Yaya said, she looked up and asked her, "Why?"
"I just found out today that something happened in your neighborhood. A few days ago, a girl was followed by someone. The girl was not vigilant enough and was taken home by someone," said Yu Yaya.
