Shengge took the schoolbag handed over by Zhou Ye and nodded weakly:
"good".
She looked up at the person in front of her uneasily and called him:
"Weeknight"
"Um?"
"Did I scare you today? When you woke up, your mind was so confused..."
Shengge whispered, reaching out to hold his bitten hand, looking at the wound caused by her bite, her voice was very soft:
"sorry."
Zhou Ye couldn't see her like this, so he immediately retracted the hand that made her look at her self-blame, and then pulled her into his arms and hugged her:
"I'm not scared, I just feel distressed. It's all my fault. Don't think nonsense and don't apologize."
He gently rubbed the back of her head, then put his hands on her shoulders, pulled away some distance, lowered his head and urged:
"Go home quickly. It's time for your family to worry. Have a good sleep. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
He warned again:
"You must call me if anything happens."
Shengge nodded: "Okay, then be careful on your way back."
Finally, Zhou Ye watched her enter the community, but did not turn around to go home. He was worried about her condition and was deeply afraid that something would happen to her in the middle of the night and he would not be able to arrive in time. He sat on the bench under the pavilion behind her community. Stayed all night,
The young man with a heavy heart sat on the bench and looked at the two rows of small tooth marks on the extensor tendons on the back of his hands, which were already somewhat red and swollen.
He still clearly remembered how hard she bit her at that time, which was an expression of her inner fear and helplessness.
And this pain was inflicted by him,
Zhou Ye looked at the red and swollen wound with cold eyes. He suddenly stretched out his other hand and pressed hard on the wound. Blood oozed from the wound again, which stung his heart.
Aggravating the wound, just to remember the injury to her this time,
Even the doctor later said that if he applied some scar removal cream, the scar would not be left, but he deliberately left the scar to remind him of how much of a jerk he had been.
At around ten o'clock, Zhou Ye was afraid that Shengge was not feeling well and couldn't sleep. He wanted to call her but was afraid that she had already fallen asleep, so a phone call woke her up.
Finally, he searched for a fairy tale on the Internet, read it to her, recorded it and sent it to her in voicemail.
If she's not asleep, just treat it as a bedtime story and wish her a sweet dream.
If she is already asleep, it will not wake her up.
Shengge, who was not asleep, heard the ding of her phone and saw the message from Zhou Ye, so she immediately clicked on it.
A fairy tale version of "The Knight and the Princess" came leisurely from Zhou Ye's voice,
His voice slowly accompanied the story like a kind of magic,
She laughed softly and murmured: "So silly~"
After listening to it for an unknown number of times, I finally fell asleep peacefully and had a wonderful night's sleep.
In the early morning, grandma made breakfast, cooked an extra bowl of ginger tea for Shengge, and warned:
"Drink before leaving. It rained so heavily yesterday that it's easy to catch a cold. You borrowed your classmates' clothes yesterday, wash them and dry them today and return them to others tomorrow."
Shengge came back wearing the skirt she bought on Sunday night and told her grandma that she had borrowed it from the class boarding students because of the heavy rain yesterday.
She was usually obedient and sensible, so grandma accepted the letter without any suspicion.
After the grandfather and grandson had breakfast, Shengge walked out of the community with her schoolbag on her back, and saw Zhou Ye waiting at the door.
He dyed his hair black and shortened it a little bit. He wore a long white loose T-shirt and a pair of black sweatpants.
For the first time, he also carried a black schoolbag.
He is tall and has long legs. He puts his hands in his pockets and soaks in the morning sun.
At first glance, he looks like a sunny boy,
Overnight, he seemed to have changed. Except for his cold eyes that did not match his age,
Shengge suddenly frowned. His eyes were so red and he looked tired.
"Did you sleep well last night?" She looked at Zhou Ye who was walking over and looked into his eyes with distress.
Zhou Ye first put his hand on her forehead to test the temperature. The temperature was normal, and then he said back to her:
"I slept very well last night. It's just that when I was dyeing my hair in the barber shop, the stupid barber accidentally touched the hair dye into my eyes, so my eyes looked a little red, but it's okay. I'll be fine tomorrow."
I didn't dare to tell her that I stayed up on the cold bench until morning before I hurried home, changed my clothes, carried the books I found yesterday, and picked her up for school.
Shengge looked at his dyed black hair and was not suspicious. She just complained:
"That barber is so unprofessional."
"It's really unprofessional. I won't call him next time."
Zhou Ye agreed seriously, took her hand and asked:
"Have you taken the medicine in the morning? Do you feel better after sleeping?"
"Took medicine"
Shengge looked down at the hand that he took the initiative to hold, feeling very happy. She looked up at his worried eyes, and remembered his bedtime story last night. She raised her lips and smiled sweetly, and wrinkled at him playfully. He wrinkled his face and said with a smile:
"I slept so soundly after listening to the fairy tale someone sent me, and now I feel better."
Zhou Ye led Shengge to the roadside and looked down at her playful expression. Seeing that she was in a better mood, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile:
"Does the story sound good? If it sounds good, I will read one to the children at night."
Shengge deliberately smiled arrogantly and said: "It's okay, I can just listen to it. Let's continue tonight."
Zhou Ye liked seeing her smile very much. He glanced down at her and then continued to look ahead and led her across the street. He replied seriously: "Okay, let's continue reading in the evening. Last night I read about the grand wedding of the princess and the knight. Then It's time for the wedding ceremony...",
He paused, hummed uninhibitedly and said meaningfully:
"Tell Shengsheng tonight about the bridal chamber flowers and candles... I'm the princess."
Is the princess here?
Shengge was stunned for a moment, she blinked her big innocent eyes innocently and looked up and asked him:
"Why is the princess here?"
The two of them crossed the road and stood on the side of the road.
Zhou Ye lowered his head and looked into the little girl's innocent eyes. He licked his lips maliciously and chuckled, bending down to whisper in her ear:
"I don't want to be at the bottom... Shengsheng can be at the top..."
"ah?"
Shengge didn't realize the impropriety in his words, and tilted her head suspiciously for an answer.
Zhou Ye looked at her curious baby look and sneered:
"Shengge, why are you so cute?"
He smiled ruthlessly:
"Kid, forget it if you don't understand."
Shengge looked at his rogue smile and blinked. After a few seconds, she seemed to understand something. Her cheeks turned red and she hit him with her elbow:
"Zhou Ye! You are shameless!"
Seeing her blushing on Zhou Ye, she smiled wildly:
"Do you understand?"
Shengge glared at him: "I don't understand!"
Quickly change the topic:
"What are we waiting for here?"
Standing on the roadside, his motorcycle was nowhere to be seen.
"You have a cold. It's easy to get windy while riding a bicycle. During rush hours, the buses are too crowded. I'll take you to school by taxi."
Zhou Ye said as he looked at the approaching taxi and was about to stop it, but Shengge immediately stopped him and said:
"Just take the bus, it's only three stops away."
She said that without waiting for his consent, she insisted on pulling him to the bus stop a few steps ahead.
Taking a taxi is so expensive, they don’t have much money, and the province does not.
As soon as they reached the platform, the bus stopped and Shengge pulled Zhou Ye onto the bus.
