Go both ways

Although the wound was hot and painful after the hot compress, and it was strangely hot, Jiang Chao never took the hot water bottle away.She was used to being able to bear it, and she fell asleep in such pain, but she didn't sleep peacefully, sweat dripped out drop by drop, and soon drenched.Instead, it was Gu Jiuzhi who was startled by the heavy breathing of the girl in the next bed, and fell asleep very late.

After not sleeping for a few hours, Jiang Chao woke up suddenly with a burning pain in her lower abdomen. She opened her clothes and looked at it, and vaguely saw a deeper purple color. When she touched it, the wound was more swollen and painful than last night.

She glanced speechlessly at Gu Jiuzhi who was on the opposite bed. He was fast asleep. On days when everyone didn't cover her with a quilt, she still had to cover her with a quilt, probably because she was weak.The girl slept peacefully, her soft body undulating slightly under the quilt.Jiang Chao looked at it for a while, then lowered his head. In fact, she knew that her physique was quite special. If such an injury was ignored, it would heal in a day or two. Instead, she accepted Gu Jiuzhi's kindness Afterwards, the injury worsened.

I never knew before that bruises cannot be treated with hot compresses. Also, no one gave her a hot water bottle before when she was injured.

With an inexplicable sense of loss, Jiang Chao climbed out of bed and put the hot water bottle next to Gu Jiuzhi's pillow. Gu Jiuzhi felt shallow, startled by this slight movement, and opened his eyes to look at her in a daze from his sleep. There was a slight "Jiang Chao" in his throat.

Her eyes were misty, as if covered by a layer of mist, looking a little indescribably fragile, Jiang Chao turned his eyes away: "It's nothing, you go to sleep."

When Gu Jiuzhi woke up, Jiang Chao was no longer in the room. The hot water bottle was placed next to her pillow. The scene in the early morning came back to his mind. Gu Jiuzhi thought he was dreaming, didn't he?She touched the shriveled bag, and the original temperature had dissipated overnight.

Realizing that Jiang Chao might not return to the dormitory until midnight, Gu Jiuzhi didn't stay in the dormitory any longer, and plunged into the classroom to study the questions.It's just freshman year, everyone is very playful, the classroom on weekends is extremely quiet, Gu Jiuzhi's black water-based pen tip falls on the paper, rustling.

Liujin City is the capital city of a province with a large college entrance examination. The children there are under great pressure to study. Every year, a group of people go to other places to study in order to escape the pressure and to be admitted to a better university.Of course, Gu Jiuzhi did not transfer to another school for this reason. She can also be among the best in such an environment. After transferring here, there is no pressure to get the first grade in Shuangshi High School, but she did not slack off. Work harder, because when she is studying now, she will feel a sense of security.

She didn't feel this way before. For her, studying was originally a habit. She was used to striving for the top, and she was used to going back with an excellent report card to accept compliments from her mothers. But before Gu Jiuzhi, she seldom thought about knowledge. What really brought her.

But it's different now.After all, her mother is not her own mother, and her home is not her real home. Although the relationship is still there, and Gu Lin has no intention of abandoning her, Gu Jiuzhi still can't help but think about things. If he thinks too much, he will worry about gains and losses.

It was in this sudden change that the girl, who had lived comfortably for 15 years, realized the value of knowledge for the first time. After all, life experience will change, but the knowledge in her mind will firmly exist, as long as she does not relax , will never abandon her.

And this may also be the foundation for her to settle down in the future.

She even had a vague sense of urgency, eager to improve herself, as if only in this way would she not be awakened by the nightmare of being driven out of the house in the middle of the night.

Different from last night, tonight, Jiang Chao returned to the dormitory a little earlier, which happened to be the time to wash clothes before turning off the lights after taking a shower. For the third time, Gu Jiuzhi pretended to go to the public water room to fetch hot water. Passing by the bathroom, I saw that Jiang Chao had finished taking a shower, but he still didn't blow his hair, squatting there with wet hair to wash his clothes.

She is still wearing the short-sleeved school uniform—she seems to be the only one with this kind of clothes—under the short cuffs, the bare arms are covered with white foam, and the blue and white school uniform coat is neatly kneaded into a tight one under her hands. The group unfolded again and again, and returned quickly, but the girl squatted there with her back to the door, she was really lonely.

Now it is the end of summer, and the water at night is already very cold, but Jiang Chao still uses cold water to wash clothes, without a trace of heat, just like her, always cold, even when she smiles Unremarkable.

Gu Jiuzhi couldn't help it: "Don't you have a stomachache? Why are you still taking cold water?"

The movements of Jiang Chao's hands froze for a moment, ignored her, and continued to scrub quickly.

It was in this silent refusal that Gu Jiuzhi walked away, Jiang Chao was satisfied, but Jiang Chao was not happy for a long time, Gu Jiuzhi silently brought the bucket over, knelt down beside her, and went to fetch water: "I do laundry too. The lights are going out later...so let's do the laundry together?"

As she spoke, she lightly touched Jiang Chao with her elbow, as if she wanted to ask her to move her place.Jiang Chao looked at this person who was always approaching him, and became irritable. He simply flicked the foam off his hands, and was satisfied to see a few drops splashed on Gu Jiuzhi, trying to force Gu Jiuzhi away.Gu Jiuzhi turned his head and glanced at her, seeing her thoughtfulness, but he didn't get angry, just took off his coat silently: "It just so happens that this one also needs to be washed."

Jiang Chao felt like punching the cotton with a fist. She frowned and looked at Gu Jiuzhi. Thinking of the hot water bottle last night, she finally moved aside silently, leaving room for Gu Jiuzhi, and then turned around. She turned her back to Gu Jiuzhi.

Thin, the back of the spine can almost be seen through the thin white short sleeves.

She is really thin.

The cold water gradually soaked the clothes in the bucket. Gu Jiuzhi opened the kettle and added some hot water. Jiang Chao didn't stop while she was adjusting the water temperature. Judging from the sound, she washed thoroughly. Faster, as if in a hurry to finish washing.

Gu Jiuzhi wanted to sigh a little.I don't know if it's her delusion, but she always feels that Jiang Chao is avoiding her deliberately, and it's not against her. Jiang Chao is avoiding everyone deliberately. This taciturn girl seems to be deliberately drifting away from the class.

However, Gu Jiuzhi is determined to get along well with Jiang Chao, whether it is to please or make up, she owes Jiang Chao.

Silently doing some psychological construction, Gu Jiuzhi suddenly leaned up and poured hot water into Jiang Chao's bucket from behind. Chao's hand, when Jiang Chao found out, the hot water and the cold water had successfully joined together and turned into warm water together.

Jiang Chao suddenly turned his head to look at her, Gu Jiuzhi's heart tightened, and before Jiang Chao's mouth could say anything bad, she raised the water bottle and made an innocent gesture: "I poured too much hot water... ...."

The two looked at each other, and Gu Jiuzhi saw that the surprise in Jiang Chao's eyes turned into suspicion, and finally returned to calm, as if he was about to blow his hair but was smoothed out, but he was still vigilant about not getting close to others, just buried his head, hum Chucking and washing clothes.

Gu Jiuzhi thought optimistically, at least Jiang Chao didn't get angry and pour the water out.

She just squatted there and started to "work". The more she washed, the less the smile on her face. In her 15-year-old life, she rarely did housework, let alone washing clothes. After living in school, this was the first difficult problem she encountered besides Jiang Chao.

Her movements are slow, and she has a little strength in her hands, but she can't figure out the skills. It's like she hasn't washed it after washing. Jiang Chao also found her clumsiness, and the tears and moles in his eyes laughed. Sentence: "Stupid."

Finally smooth.

It is also because Jiang Chao is ignorant, which leads to a lack of vocabulary, otherwise, she would know how to use "ten fingers do not touch the spring water" to describe the messy person in front of her who only knows how to soak clothes in water and pour an excessive amount of laundry detergent. Girls who rub are more appropriate.

Unlike now, she can only sarcastically call people "stupid".

Gu Jiuzhi didn't expect that Jiang Chao gave her the first despise in her life.Her cheeks were flushed by what was said, and she wanted to prove herself, but she gave up after a while. In Jiang Chao's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, she had a thought, and she simply leaned over again, and said as if discussing: "I just don't want to talk about it." Too good, but I will learn, you teach me and I will."

A soft-spoken request is always irresistible, especially when it comes from a pure and beautiful girl. Anyway, although Jiang Chao didn't say anything in the end, his body turned around. Turning his back to her again, the speed of washing clothes also slowed down. Gu Jiuzhi imitated her appearance, and gradually, he also looked good.

Even though the speed had been deliberately slowed down, Jiang Chao was still much faster than Gu Jiuzhi. When she finished drying the clothes, Gu Jiuzhi hadn’t yet passed the water. She took a look and went to the corridor to smoke a cigarette. She still called out “stupid” .

Gu Jiuzhi took the time to get the clothes done, and put the hot water bottle that had been prepared on Jiang Chao's bed before Jiang Chao came back. So, when Jiang Chao went to bed, she was surprised to find that the hot water bottle that she had returned was gone again. Came back, as hot as last night, with a kindness she seldom had.

His fingers curled up as if they were scalded, and the fingers turned pink. Jiang Chao looked at Gu Jiuzhi, who had already lay down and seemed to be asleep, but Jiang Chao felt that she seemed to be peeking at him just now.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

Gu Jiuzhi has been here for several days, shouldn't he have never heard of her, shouldn't he respect her like his classmates?Why did he treat her like this these two days?

Gu Jiuzhi: "Why are you afraid of you? Because you fight?"

"Isn't that enough?" As if she didn't expect her to answer like this, the girl tilted her head and looked at her with some puzzlement: "Or, are you a good-hearted person?"

Gu Jiuzhi tightened his grip on the quilt: "I'm not being kind."

Jiang Chao didn't believe it. She threw the hot water bottle in her hand and threw it back to Gu Jiuzhi: "Excessive kindness."

Gu Jiuzhi pursed his lips tightly.
