This sentence came too suddenly, and it can even be said to be unreasonable under such circumstances-some fouls.

Zhi Xi froze on the spot, opened and closed her lips slightly, but couldn't speak.

In fact, for a long time, she didn't understand why people empathize with other people's experiences, which leads to a series of complex and diverse emotions.

To Zhixi at that time, this kind of incomprehension was more like an invisible membrane that separated her from real human beings and from this world. The first crack in this membrane was because On the day of the sports festival, she heard the past mentioned by Hong Jiaodong and Izuku Midoriya.

But the emotion Zhi Xi felt at that time was not distressed, it was closer to "regret" and "guilt". She regretted that the two years she lived with him were too late, and she could not be with him when he was most helpless. Appeared, and felt ashamed that as his friend, he had never heard of such a past.

After that, many things happened, and the whole picture of this world spread out before Zhixi's eyes little by little.She gradually possessed the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys that belonged to human beings, and her soul was enriched and filled.This process is not long compared to a person's life, and Zhixi never felt that the blood and tears she shed, the pain she suffered, was anything special.

Until Hong Jiaodong asked, did you suffer a lot in a place where I couldn't see you?

He said he was distressed.

Zhi Xi had known for a long time how smart and careful he was, and thought that she had concealed those changes well—but at this moment, she realized that the person in front of her cared more about her than she thought. Much more.

Zhi Xi didn't even know when and with what mood Hong Jiao Dong wrote down every bit of her.Only in this way, can he notice the details that no one else noticed, and then, without anyone else noticing, point out directly what she has been trying to cover up——Zhi Xi didn't even know that Hong Jiaodong was going to end up How long has this sentence been brewing in the bottom of my heart.

How presumptuous am I, she thought.

After repeated insistence, Hong Jiaodong did not force Zhixi to be sent to the hospital, he helped her down the mountain, and then the two took a car to a nearby famous restaurant.

After getting in the car, Hong didn't speak any more. He lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, as if he was constantly sending messages to others, his brows were slightly frowned, and his expression was still not very good-looking.

Zhi Xi sat next to him, separated from him by a person, occasionally cast a glance pretending to be unintentional, and then moved away very quickly.

What is he doing?Is it about work?

It's because I want to take her out and delay many important things.

The more Zhi Xi thought about it, the more guilty she felt, but she also knew that if she apologized, she would definitely make the situation worse - Hong definitely didn't want to hear such words, probably it would only make him feel worse.

After a while, she settled down and had an idea in her mind.

……

While waiting for the food to be served, Hong Jiaodong's restlessness became more obvious.

In fact, he has learned how to hide his emotions from a very young age, and he has cultivated his poker face skills to the level of proficiency when he was an adult, but these are not as good as the person sitting in front of him. evening.

Only from the slight increase in the frequency of looking out the window and the frequency of looking down at his watch, Zhixi knew that he must have something important to do.

Another potential partner?

Thinking of the last time she accidentally found him having dinner with a female partner, Zhixi felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.

Why is this?

She didn't dare to think about the reason.

But Zhi Xi felt that she should be more considerate. Furthermore, as a subordinate, it is also her duty not to cause trouble to her boss.So he took a sip of tea and said, seemingly unintentionally, "Jiao Dong, I want to go for a walk around alone after dinner."

Then, before the other party spoke, he added in a low voice: "I want...well, to buy underwear."

Zhi Xi felt that what she said was quite full, she was a woman, and she proposed to buy underwear alone, and she was nearby—no matter how she thought about it, she blocked the way to refuse from all sides.

Unexpectedly, the man on the opposite side just paused, and a trace of embarrassment quickly crossed his face, "...Are you in a hurry?"

"Uh, I'm not in a hurry..."

Zhi Xi touched her nose, feeling a little guilty, but more puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Ah," Hong yelled in a low voice, stood up and looked towards the door, "Here comes the man."

……

The person who came was a young man, who should be a few years older than them, with a bright smile. He came this time to deliver what Hong Jiao Dong wanted for his father.

"what is this?"

After the person left, Zhi Xi asked.

Boom: "It's traditional Chinese medicine."

Zhi Xi: "??"

If at that time Zhi Xi was still surprised why a pack of medicinal materials suddenly appeared, then what happened next was completely beyond her cognition.

Since nothing happened as expected, according to the previous idea in the car, it should be time for her to act next.But after dinner, Hong couldn't help but take her back to the hotel where she stayed, looking a little anxious.

"You can rest first, and you can take a shower—be careful not to slip," he warned in the corridor outside the hotel room, "I'll come to you later, don't open the door to strangers."

"I know, I know, Dad."

"..."

Hong Jiaodong turned around and got off the elevator, still holding the pack of traditional Chinese medicine in his hand, Zhi Xi looked at his back, a little apprehensive: Don't boil it for yourself?

cure what?Irregular menstruation? (...

She went back to her room to take a shower, turned on the TV and watched for a while, only to realize that tomorrow is the summer festival.

Is this also in his plan?Zhixi was in a delicate mood.

About ten minutes later, someone rang the doorbell. Through a thick wooden door, the sound outside sounded muffled. liquid.

"—Do I want to drink such a big pot?!"

Zhixi was shocked.

Hong was also stunned, and it took two seconds to react, "...not for you to drink."

He carried the pot into the house, put it beside the bed, and called back to the woman who was still at the door: "Zhi Xi, come here."

"I asked the doctor, and he said that this prescription is more effective for relieving the pain of a sprain."

"..."

Zhi Xi was speechless again.

The smell of herbs began to waft in the air, but it was actually not fragrant at all. You must know that the smell of medicine is basically nothing to smell.

She walked over slowly, and sat down by the bed according to Yan, like a marionette, obediently put her feet into the potion.The hot jelly controls the temperature very well. The water temperature is a little hot, but it is the most comfortable.

He even carefully filtered the potion several times, and there was almost no dross in it, showing an amber-like color under the warm yellow light.

Hong bent down, picked up a little water with his hands, and slowly poured it on her ankles.

Zhi Xi suddenly came back to his senses.

"—Frozen,"

She called his name, a little at a loss, her feet subconsciously wanted to retract, "It's... not appropriate for you."

It doesn't mean the ambiguous aspect, but Zhixi understands that in traditional Japanese culture, it is somewhat illegal for a man to serve a woman's feet...Although she scoffed at such a thought, she felt uneasy when this happened to her.

Who is Boom Jiaodong?Son of the hero Andvar?

If people mentioned him a few years ago, they might add such an introduction, but now, they rarely mention it again.

Because he has long grown into a hero who is more dazzling than his father, and even more trusted by the public, maybe in a few years, when people mention Andwa again, they will use the description of the hero's frozen father.

Leaving aside this layer of aura, Zhi Xi also absolutely believes that even if Hong Jiao Dong is not a hero, with his ability and character, he will definitely shine in other aspects.

Letting such a man do this kind of thing is a bit... condescending.

"But you hurt,"

After he finished speaking as a matter of course, he suddenly paused, and slowly put his hands into the water to gently rub her ankles, "Besides, there's nothing inappropriate or inappropriate."

Hong didn't need to look up to know what Zhi Xi cared about.

But the worldly eyes are not in his consideration at all.

Or in other words, outside of work, he puts her first in almost everything.

The strength of the man's hand is extremely gentle. It stands to reason that such a thing should be a little ambiguous, even charming - but his expression is too serious, without any other emotions, and he just concentrates on kneading her slightly swollen feet like this Wrist, even the movements are very professional.

Zhi Xi couldn't restrain herself and retracted her feet again, but he clenched it tighter: "Don't move, I'll give you a massage, it will heal quickly."

"Tomorrow is the summer festival, you probably don't want to limping around the night market, do you?"

As if he was afraid that Zhi Xi would have some burden, Hong raised his head, his expression was always calm, but now there was a faint smile in his eyes.

After a long, long time, when Zhi Xi saw all of Hong Jiao Dong's relatives, the old man with a sullen face in front of everyone, his grandfather, took her aside while everyone was not paying attention, and babbled Lots of things about Boom when he was a kid.

"In fact, I have always disagreed with his father's statement, and I am quite worried that Jiao Dong will simply not get married in the future," said the old man who was unexpectedly talkative behind the scenes. Meng comes from his ancestors, "But I didn't expect him to get married so early."

Grandpa laughed, his face was full of dimples, but his eyes were still very bright, "Ah Lin, that kid Jiao Dong really likes you - I watched him grow up, and he hardly took his eyes off him before he was three years old, what's wrong with that sentence?" Say? Seeing old at three years old—maybe sometimes he is a little less talkative, I guess you young girls are not used to it, but he is definitely trustworthy."

Zhi Xi listened embarrassingly, and didn't know what to say, so she just smiled obediently. The old man's wife left early, and I think it's been lonely for the past few years. It's rare to find someone who listens to him. .

"Jiao Dong was stubborn when he was a child, that temper, tsk tsk. Ah Lin, do you know what he is most afraid of?"

Zhi Xi was very cooperative, "What is it?"

"It's the smell of medicine, haha!" The old man clapped his hands and smiled proudly, "Can't you see it? Such a fearless person is actually afraid of this—he was sick once when he was four or five years old. I don't want to I gave him an injection and said to drink some traditional Chinese medicine, but the kid refused to die. His father and I couldn't get the medicine into him, so I thought it was impossible at the time. , how can a man be afraid of suffering?"

Zhi Xi's smile stopped, but the old man didn't notice, and continued: "He won't take the medicine, so I won't give him an injection—do you know how the kid Jiao Dong got better in the end? It was winter at that time, That winter was so cold, he ran into the snow alone, put on a single shirt, ran while running with a fever, and sweated all over—he finally recovered by himself.”

"Later I asked him why he refused to take the medicine since he could endure hardships. He said he just didn't like the taste--Ah Lin, do you think this child is stubborn? If he is willing to tell me clearly, I will call The doctor will give him an injection, and the disease will be cured early, so why bother to suffer this crime, don't you think?"

"……Yes,"

Zhi Xi opened her mouth, her heart was sore and swollen, she tried her best to maintain the smile in her voice, "He is really stubborn."
