Chen Tingbai had frostbite on his hand.

Teacher Lu saw that he was so distressed that he was dying, so he immediately bought a pair of gloves for him to put on, and told Father Chen to buy chilblain ointment after work.Turning his head around, he blamed Chen Tingbai for opening a store, not going home so late in the winter, no matter how big the business was, he couldn't go home so late every day.

He kept nagging throughout the breakfast time, making Chen Tingbai go out before finishing his breakfast.

Hu Cong felt very sad. This was the third winter he and Chen Tingbai had spent. Although Chen Tingbai's hands were cold in the past two years, they had never been cold, let alone frostbite.Looking at the red chilblains on Chen Tingbai's hands, Hu Cong felt that he was useless and did not take good care of Chen Tingbai.

On the contrary, Chen Tingbai thought it was nothing. When he was a child, he got up to do his homework in winter, and he grew up every year, and he also grew up riding a bicycle to school in high school. This winter is so cold, so he picked up his homework in the morning and evening. Chilblain is normal.And it's still left-handed, and I don't feel it at all. I don't know why there is such a fuss at home.

Chen Tingbai felt that since he was injured, he and his parents had collectively regressed to his childhood.His own basic necessities of life need to be taken care of by others like a child, and his parents are also taken aback. A small chilblain can make the whole family anxious. Thinking about it, I feel helpless and funny.

In fact, after two people have established a relationship, it seems that life has not changed much, and the homework that should be done still has to be done.However, because Xu Shaohua had too much work at the end of the year, Chen Tingbai would deliberately put off everything and wait for Xu Shaohua to come and accompany him later.

When the two of them got bored enough, Xu Shaohua had to be sent home before he and Hu Cong would go home.

In this way, the time to return home has been postponed for a long time.

Chen Tingbai couldn't sit for a long time, and when he came home so late and lay on the bed, his whole back was stiff, and the number of convulsions was much more than before.

Before washing up several times, he couldn't sit still. Hu Cong came out from the bathroom with a basin to wipe his body, but he was already sunk in a pile of soft cushions, unable to support his right hand no matter what. .

But it is also beneficial. He no longer suffers from insomnia, and he can fall asleep quickly in bed after going home to wash, and the headache that has followed him for a long time has also healed.

See, there are benefits to being in love.

In fact, Chen Tingbai felt a little guilty for Xu Shaohua.

When other people fall in love, two people can go out for a walk after work, go shopping, watch a movie, etc., but my body, not to mention whether it will be uncomfortable to go out in this kind of weather, is only at the level of this city. Barrier-free facilities, if you really want to go out and walk, you will be angry.

Xu Shaohua can only be wronged and writes every day.

But Xu Shaohua didn't think so. He didn't want to make their relationship public, not even passers-by. He was afraid that when he and Chen Tingbai were walking on the road, some passers-by would speculate about their relationship. When he thought of this, his whole body would shudder. Goosebumps.

Xu Shaohua was lucky that Chen Tingbai still had his own shop, so he could go there after work.

In fact, Xu Shaohua quite likes the words in the words, it is quiet.

It's not bad to go there for a meeting after a tiring day at work.Moreover, Chen Tingbai didn't have much to do, and he wouldn't keep arguing with himself.

Speaking of it, it seems that there is food in the word recently.The day before yesterday was chicken soup wontons, and last night it was beef noodles. Xu Shaohua knew that these simple foods were not bought casually from outside food stalls.But is there a kitchen in the word?

Xu Shaohua was also a little embarrassed after eating from others for two days.And according to Chen Tingbai's style, there will be one today, or as long as he still goes, there will always be one.

On the way home from get off work, he deliberately went to the fruit shop to buy some fruit to take with him.Strawberries are on the market, and they are red and round, and they are very beautiful. Xu Shaohua accidentally weighed too much, which exceeded his budget.

--Hold.

——Buy a ball.

Xu Shaohua carried the bag of strawberries all the way to the writing, his face getting more and more stinky.The broken plastic bags hurt my hands.

Throw the strawberries on Chen Tingbai's legs when they reach the text.

"I bought it on the way home from get off work. You eat it yourself. It's quite fresh." Seeing that Chen Tingbai was overwhelmed by such a throw, Xu Shaohua spoke, but his tone was still obviously unhappy.

Chen Tingbai is very happy, his favorite is strawberries.

Before I was not injured, every time when strawberries were on the market, I went to the supermarket with Mr. Lu, and I would pick some good ones and buy some to eat at home. There was a milk tea shop in the school whose strawberry milkshakes were very delicious, and Chen Tingbai even bought them every day. Come have a drink.After the accident later, I seldom went to the supermarket with Teacher Lu. Most of the fruits bought by the elders were apples, bananas and pears, and strawberries were rarely eaten, let alone let the old man buy strawberry milkshakes for himself.

But the problem is that the strawberries were carried all the way here by Xu Shaohua, and the loose knots on the plastic bags would be tied tightly due to gravity, and they couldn't be untied at all, at least Chen Tingbai couldn't untie them with one hand.

Chen Tingbai tried for a long time, but the plastic bag still hadn't been opened. He raised his head and wanted to ask Xu Shaohua to help, but found that Xu Shaohua had already been sitting on the side and turned on the computer to deal with work matters. swallowed.

He had no choice but to put the strawberries on the table, and wait for Hu Cong to come back from Lu Heng's get out of class.

Chen Tingbai moved closer to Xu Shaohua, wanting to see what Xu Shaohua would do next.When I took a closer look, there was nothing written on the computer except for the title of the project.

Looking at Xu Shaohua's appearance, Chen Tingbai felt like an underachiever who had handed in blank papers during the exam, so he accidentally laughed out loud.Seeing Chen Tingbai laughing out loud, Xu Shaohua became even more irritable. He hurriedly closed the computer and told Chen Tingbai what to do. Don't you want to practice calligraphy tonight?

Chen Tingbai also felt that he was going too far, so he turned the wheelchair back and said to Xu Shaohua: "Do you want to eat something? If you eat something, the blood supply to the brain is sufficient. Maybe you can get it. On the small table in the back If there is something to eat, go and eat first." Then he picked up the brush to practice calligraphy and ignored him.

Xu Shaohua came to the back and opened the insulated lunch box to see that it was a bowl of rice, tomato and beef, and there was a small box next to it with some pickles.

It's very attractive just by looking at the appearance, and the taste is definitely not bad. He picked it up and took two bites into his mouth.Ask Chen Tingbai where to buy it.

"My mother brought it here. I don't eat outside food very much. I asked my mother to make more. You just came over from get off work to make dinner." Chen Tingbai took a glass of water for Xu Shaohua, worried that he ate too much. Anxiously choked.

What Chen Tingbai did seemed to be very light, and there was no particularly big movement, except for a little noise when the wheelchair was turning.

There are not many expressions, most of the time, his expression is tense.It is contrary to his movements, but it also fits inexplicably.A person who can't learn to express himself correctly, but is always gentle.

"So you and your mother talked about us?" Xu Shaohua heard a completely different point, and many flashed through his mind.

Chen Tingbai blinked his eyelashes slightly, he poured a cup of hot tea and took a sip, white mist came out.

"No, what I'm talking about is that Xiao Cong grows stronger. If he wants to eat more, my mother will do more." Hearing Xu Shaohua's question, Chen Tingbai's heart sank.

Although the matter of my orientation has always been a secret at home, it is impossible to tell my parents.However, is it really so hard for Xu Shaohua to talk about being with himself?

Xu Shaohua also felt that what he said was a bit too much, so he quickly explained to Chen Tingbai: "Xiaobai, I mean we are just together, and I am not in a hurry to let my family know, not to mention that I have nothing now. - Your parents don't agree with us..."

Chen Tingbai interrupted Xu Shaohua, "I know, there is no need to say so much." He patted Xu Shaohua's hand.Turned out again and continued to practice calligraphy.

Before picking up the pen, I saw strawberries on the table again, and suddenly I didn't want to practice calligraphy.

Fortunately, Hu Cong just came back from get out of class and saw a bag of strawberries on the table. Chen Tingbai said that Xu Shaohua bought them, so he washed them and brought them out for everyone to eat together.

When the strawberries were brought out, Chen Tingbai saw a chubby strawberry with drops of water hanging on it. He picked up the strawberry, turned it to Xu Shaohua, and handed it to Xu Shaohua's mouth: "Eat one too." Let’s eat it as fruit after dinner.”

Xu Shaohua took a bite of the strawberry with Chen Tingbai's hand.

It's strange to say that he doesn't like the fragrance on men's body, but he also thinks that the fragrance on Chen Tingbai's body is very good.It's faint, definitely not the smell of perfume, it seems to be some kind of fragrant smell.

At first, Xu Shaohua thought that a paralyzed patient like Chen Tingbai had done it on purpose to cover up other bad smells on his body, but after thinking about it later, Chen Tingbai loved being clean so much, how could he allow himself to get dirty? What an unpleasant smell.This kind of taste is present as soon as it enters the words, which is very comfortable.

Xu Shaohua couldn't help asking: "Do you know how to spread perfume in the shop?"

Chen Tingbai didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it later, he realized: "No, when I was practicing calligraphy, I would light a stick of incense to meditate. It might be the smell of that."

"It smells good." Xu Shaohua took a deep breath and smiled.

Probably since that meeting, this smell has already outlined the outline of Chen Tingbai in Xu Shaohua's heart.Whether it is thinking of this smell or thinking of this person, it is easy to think of everything related to him.
