The reddened skin on the arm gradually swelled up, and there was a puddle of white water in it.Zhou Muzhen turned off the natural gas that was running, and directly turned on the faucet to rinse the burnt area, then quickly took out some ice trays from the refrigerator, and poured the ice cubes into a gauze bag.

The skin finally felt something other than hot, and the ice cubes stuck to the skin tightly, relieving the pain caused by the burn.How can it be true that it doesn't hurt when you say it doesn't hurt?Zhou Mu really grinned in pain, but still endured the pain, implying to himself that this would not bring him any perception.

Gu Zhan always gives up quickly. If he persists, will the pain in his arm be relieved a lot?Zhou Muzhen closed his eyes and shook his head.

I am already in my thirties, why am I still waiting for the bravery of others.Perhaps this is the self he hates the most, cowardly, timid, deliberately hiding himself deeply, but expecting others to dig him out three feet from the ground.

The cold touch distracted his perception of pain, sighed, Zhou Muzhen put down the wet ice pack that had almost turned into a puddle of water, and returned his attention to dinner.

When Zhou Muzhen went to the living room with the dishes, he found that Gu Zhan was half body lying on the sofa, with his legs leaning against the side of the sofa, his head resting on his arm, his eyes looking at the ground, thinking about something What.

"Gu Zhan, it's time to eat." Zhou Muzhen called over there.After the other party heard it, they first moved their legs, then supported their body with great effort, and walked towards the dining table in the living room.

When Gu Zhan walked to the table to sign, Zhou Muzhen also arranged the dishes.As soon as he raised his head, he found a young man who was staggering while standing. His hair was messed up and he looked listless.

"Gu... Gu Zhan, you have a nosebleed." Zhou Muzhen flusteredly took a napkin from the tissue box on the table, trying to cover the other party's non-stop bleeding.

As soon as the white paper towel touched the red slippery liquid, it was quickly smeared, Zhou Muzhen felt that everything he did was in vain, the paper towel could not block the opening of the blood vessel, nor could it support the crumbling boy.

"Teacher Zhou, I'm so dizzy." Gu Zhan's head was lifted slightly by Zhou Muzhen, and his lips that had lost some blood were slowly opened and closed.

"Don't talk." Zhou Muzhen went around the table and came to Gu Zhan, helped him pull the chair away, and forced him onto the chair, "Press your nose first, and I'll get you a wet towel."

"Don't go." Gu Zhan didn't grab Zhou Muzhen's hand, but only grabbed the corner of Zhou Muzhen's clothes. He murmured, "Don't go, I'm a little scared."

The sound of an ambulance roaring towards Zhou Muzhen crazily broke into Zhou Muzhen's ears, and the scene of Gu Zhan being carried on a stretcher two years ago crashed into his mind like an obsession.Strapped to a rusted chair, Anita's staring eyes are among the memories.

Zhou Muzhen looked at the blood on his hands that didn't belong to him, and secretly clenched his hands.He turned his head and touched Gu Zhan's head with his hand that was not yet stained with blood, "Good boy, I'll be right back."

In the young man's begging eyes, Zhou Muzhen resolutely took Gu Zhan's hand away from his clothes.He quickly ran into the kitchen, and glanced at the ice cubes that he poured out just now.While regretting that he poured too many ice cubes just now, he dipped a clean towel into the ice cubes that had just melted into ice water, twisted them half dry, and ran back immediately.

Gu Zhan was still pressing his nose, and when he saw Zhou Muzhen running, there seemed to be a gleam of light in his eyes.

"Why don't you find another place to live." Zhou Muzhen said as soon as he sat down opposite, and took out the three cards along the way, laying them on the table.

"I don't want it." Gu Zhan quickly refused, "I didn't even get my bed out of my smell, and you're going to drive me away? And I've already paid the rent."

Fortunately, there was a towel on the other party's face, so that he couldn't look at himself, otherwise he would soon find out that Zhou Muzhen's tangled expression could be seen at a glance.

Zhou Muzhen said: "I can't accept that a person who may enter the hospital anytime and anywhere lives with me. I can't bear this responsibility."

"Today was just an accident!" Gu Zhan was a little anxious, and grabbed the towel off his face, "Look, the bleeding has stopped!"

"Please, don't say it was an accident." Zhou Muzhen pursed the corners of his mouth, "Don't forget, I saw you being sent to the hospital by ambulance. I can't be like a nanny every moment and every second Stay by your side, in case you look like this again next time, I don't want to see it when I go home..."

"Teacher Zhou!" Gu Zhan interrupted Zhou Muzhen. He stood up and put his hands on the table, "I promise you, okay? I promise that even if I die, I have nothing to do with Zhou Muzhen, okay?" !"

Zhou Muzhen turned his head away without saying a word.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou?" Gu Zhan leaned forward, "Just let me stay, I really have nowhere to go."

Zhou Muzhen also knew that Gu Zhan was talking nonsense.He wanted to refuse again, but when he thought of the other party's appearance of begging for perfection when he clearly did nothing wrong, he still softened his heart.

"Okay, let's eat quickly when the bleeding stops." Zhou Muzhen pretended not to care, "There are some daily necessities I bought for you on the sofa, you can take them to have a look later, tell me if there is anything missing .”

Gu Zhan's standing figure trembled, the underwear just now...

"I bought the underwear according to my size. If you don't think it fits well, you can tell me and I'll buy it for you again." Zhou Mu said truthfully and picked up the dishes, "I don't know what you like to eat, just eat whatever you want. Do something."

Zhou Muzhen tried his best to talk, so that Gu Zhan would not have the room to make further demands.He didn't want to hear Gu Zhan's voice, he was afraid that his spirit would be crushed in an instant, and he couldn't maintain his cold and sober appearance.

The other party didn't speak for a long time, Zhou Muzhen raised his head and glanced at the other party.The other party was also looking at him, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"Thank you." Gu Zhan lowered his eyes, with a bit of alienation in his words.Since Zhou Muzhen broke into his house that day, he had never spoken to him in such a friendly tone. He thought, maybe his "guarantee" just now took effect.Perhaps Zhou Muzhen has nothing to do with him, but some are just ordinary landlords and tenants.
