Su Meng walked slowly in front, while Jiang Tingzhou and his black man followed her not too far or too close behind.
Su Meng ignored Jiang Tingzhou who was following behind her, because there was a more important thing in front of her at this time, that is, she lost the 'armored soldier'!
She was not familiar with the terrain here, and at this time, she didn't know where the 'armored soldier' had gone alone. Moreover, she didn’t know anyone here. There were not many pedestrians on this section of the road, and she couldn’t find anyone to ask them if they had seen a lost golden retriever.
Su Meng felt anxious when she thought about how she would deal with the Ling couple if she couldn't find the golden retriever later. In a hurry, she wanted to go faster.
But her feet were still injured and she couldn't walk fast at all.
Just when Su Meng was still looking for the golden retriever aimlessly, her arm was grabbed from behind.
"Hello."
Su Meng was startled at first, and then realized who was holding her. Because she was so focused on the 'armored soldiers', she forgot that Jiang Tingzhou was still following her.
Su Meng blinked and asked him what was going on with her eyes.
Jiang Tingzhou raised his chin towards the pharmacy on the side, "The pharmacy is here."
Su Meng pursed her lips, "But I want to find my dog first."
"A golden retriever?" When Heizi scared people just now, he did vaguely see the figure of a golden retriever slithering out.
"Um."
Jiang Tingzhou put one hand in his pocket and said in a lazy tone, "A dog is never lost in the courtyard. Maybe it has gone home by itself by now."
With that said, Jiang Tingzhou strode towards the pharmacy. After walking a few steps, he noticed that Su Meng had not followed, and frowned slightly, "Why haven't you followed?"
Su Meng thought for a moment and finally followed.
After arriving at the pharmacy and buying disinfectant, Su Meng dipped a cotton swab into the disinfectant and carefully wiped it on her injured palm.
As soon as she wiped it, she was so painful that she dropped the cotton swab.
It hurt so much.
She had never felt that she was so squeamish before. Isn't it just a matter of rubbing the palms of your hands on the ground and then disinfecting them with disinfectant? Although it would hurt if I did this before, why is it so painful now? The pain was so painful that she almost broke into a cold sweat.
When the pharmacy clerk saw this scene, he asked with concern, "Little girl, what's wrong?"
Su Meng carefully put her hands behind her back and shook her head, "It's nothing."
The clerk smiled and said, "The palms of your hands need to be disinfected. Otherwise, the wound will become infected."
Su Meng was still a little scared when she heard that the wound was infected. But when she thought of the pain just now, she couldn't bear to apply medicine on her wound. In her previous life, she suffered too much. In this life, she wants to be better to herself and eat sweets without suffering. The wound may not be infected anyway.
At this time, Jiang Tingzhou took the disinfectant and medical cotton swabs placed on the counter and handed them to Su Meng, "Wipe them."
Su Meng tilted her head, but her hands were still firmly hidden behind her back, "I don't want it!"
As soon as the words came out, Su Meng realized that her tone was too soft and soft. Not only was she soft, but she also subconsciously prolonged the sound.
It sounds like being angry and acting coquettishly.
Oh my god. She, a female man, would never have imagined that one day she would actually make such a sound.
And if it were her before, she would never say "I don't want it". Even if she did, it would be "No need", "Let's wait a while" and the like.
But the sentence "I don't want it" just now came out so naturally and without any hesitation.
Before Jiang Tingzhou could respond, the pharmacy clerk burst out laughing, "The little girl is so cute. But if you don't disinfect it, the wound will get infected and swollen even if it's not healed, and it will really be troublesome then. Come, let me wipe it for you."
Su Meng shook her head hastily, and she took two steps back because she was afraid that the clerk would really help her wipe it. Her palms were still throbbing with pain, and her whole arm was a little sore and numb. "No, thank you."
Jiang Tingzhou tossed the disinfectant in his hand and said in a playful tone, "You don't want me to wipe it for you, do you?"
"No!" Su Meng immediately denied.
Although Su Meng knew that she really had no intention of Jiang Tingzhou's proposal just now, her tone somehow sounded very negative. So after Jiang Tingzhou listened, he played with the potion bottle in his hand and said lazily, "It seems that you really want me to apply the potion for you."
"It's not what I said!" After Su Meng said that, she didn't even ask for disinfectant and ran directly outside.
No one can ever guess what Jiang Tingzhou will say next, so Su Meng can't either. She was afraid that Jiang Tingzhou would continue to tease her, so she felt that staying away from Jiang Tingzhou was the most correct decision.
Su Meng felt that although Su Sui was a bit selfish and indifferent, there was one thing she was grateful for.
That was because Su Sui let her know in advance what kind of person Jiang Tingzhou was, so that she could take the initiative to stay away from him.
Su Meng had only taken a few steps when the black man behind her started barking and chasing after her. She had heard before that when a dog sees a running object, the more it wants to chase it, and the more it runs, the more ferocious it is in the dog's bones. So as soon as she heard the cry of the black-backed animal, Su Meng immediately stopped and tried to minimize her presence.
Su Meng even breathed softly, but the black back still followed her to her legs, and a huge dog head even rubbed her calf affectionately.
Jiang Tingzhou stood not far away with his hands in his pockets and said in a lazy voice, "Heizi likes you very much."
She doesn't want this kind of like at all, thank you. With such a big wolf dog sniffing here and there around her legs, she would really be frightened and cry.
As if seeing Su Meng's fear and embarrassment at this moment, Jiang Tingzhou chuckled lightly and waved to the black back, "Heizi, come to me."
Although Heizi still seemed to want to stay by Su Meng's side, it was obvious that he wanted to obey his master's orders. As soon as it heard this command, it obediently twisted its buttocks and returned to Jiang Tingzhou step by step.
Just when Su Meng breathed a sigh of relief, a question suddenly came to her ears, "Do you know me?"
Could it be that she acted like she knew Jiang Tingzhou? She shook her head quickly and lowered her eyes, "I don't know him."
He didn't know if it was Jiang Tingzhou's illusion, but he always felt that the little girl in front of him didn't seem to want to deal with him at all, and she seemed to want to stay away from him.
This is a strange thing.
Jiang Tingzhou touched his chin and looked at her face tentatively and with slight interest, "I am Jiang Tingzhou."
Su Meng lowered her eyes and said dryly. At this time, she suddenly remembered what Grandma Zhang said in the car yesterday. She asked, "Is that child from the Jiang family back?" At that time, she didn't know who Grandma Zhang was talking about. Now it seems that the person Grandma Zhang is talking about is Jiang Tingzhou.
Combined with what she learned about Jiang Tingzhou's character, it was not surprising at all that he was dropped out of school when he was young.
Afraid that Jiang Tingzhou would ask her name, Su Meng hurriedly said, "I'm going to find the 'Armored Soldier'."
"Armored? What?"
"It's the golden retriever I lost."
There was a hint of astonishment in Jiang Tingzhou's eyes at first, and then it was replaced by a bit of smile, "A dog is actually called this name?" At this point, he paused and looked down at his pet dog, as if it was a joke. Seriously, "Heizi, why don't you change your name to 'Artillery'?" He also deliberately added an accent to the name.
Heizi barked twice and looked at Jiang Tingzhou innocently with wet black eyes, not knowing whether he was willing or unwilling to change his name.
At this time, a soldier in military uniform walked straight towards them with a golden retriever in his hand.
Su Meng recognized the golden retriever from a distance as the 'armored soldier'. She hurriedly ran to the soldier and said, "This is my lost dog."
Soldier looked a little shy. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I know, I saw you holding it earlier." As he spoke, he handed the leash to Su Meng.
"Thank you," after saying that, Su Meng was about to reach out and take the rope, but at this time someone took the rope faster than her.
Su Meng made a strange sound, this is...
Jiang Tingzhou, who took the initiative to hold the golden retriever rope, glanced lazily at her sideways, "You don't want your hand anymore?"
I have to say that Jiang Tingzhou's peach blossom eyes are very charming, especially when he looks casual and slightly leering at this moment.
Su Meng bit her lower lip, her eyes widening in surprise.
When Jiang Tingzhou was young, it seemed that he was not as bad as he would be in the future. At least, he still remembered that her hand was injured.
After Jiang Tingzhou finished speaking, he turned his head and asked the soldier beside him, "Do you know whose family this dog belongs to?" Because he knew that he could not get any results from Su Meng, so he simply asked the soldier directly.
This soldier knew Jiang Tingzhou. Although Jiang Tingzhou had left the compound for a few years, the compound is still full of legends about him to this day. Coupled with Jiang Tingzhou's outstanding appearance, his face is really easy to recognize.
Soldier Bing glanced at Su Meng, unable to see any expression on her stained face, and then he said to Jiang Tingzhou, "She's from Ling's hometown."
"Mr. Ling..." After Jiang Tingzhou repeated it softly, he immediately remembered a new thing in the compound recently. That new thing has been spreading at a crazy speed in the yard recently. Everyone is a neighbor and there are no secrets between each other, so this new thing has become known to everyone immediately.
Even he, who had just returned to China a few days ago, knew it.
That is, the Ling family adopted a child from the earthquake area in Sichuan.
So, this child who recently appeared in countless people is the person standing next to him now
After Jiang Tingzhou knew the information he wanted, he stopped talking. He held the golden retriever in his left hand and the black one on the right, and walked forward.
The golden retriever was in Jiang Tingzhou's hands, so Su Meng had no choice but to follow him.
After walking for a while, Su Meng discovered that Ling's hometown was not far away. It turns out he took her home.
Arriving at the door of Ling's house, Su Meng took the golden retriever's rope from Jiang Tingzhou, looked down at her toes, and said softly, "Thank you, goodbye."
Su Meng used an extremely official tone, saying thank you and goodbye, which seemed polite, but also distant, with a deliberate sense of distance.
But even though the wording is official, the soft and waxy voice still makes people think of sweet, soft and colorful marshmallows. Jiang Tingzhou squinted his eyes. The black earrings on his ears reflected dazzling light in the sun. The light was so bright that it blocked the light under his eyes.
He asked, "Are you afraid of me?"
This is the second time Jiang Tingzhou asked this question today.
The first time was after the black back scared her. Su Meng didn't answer the first time he asked. Now that he asked the question for the second time, she should answer him.
Anyway, Jiang Tingzhou didn't look very dangerous when he was eighteen years old.
And after she answered, he should know what she thought about him. From now on, the road is facing the sky, everyone goes to one side, and no one pays attention to anyone else. That would be the best.
After thinking about it, Su Meng answered honestly, "Yes."
Jiang Tingzhou said playfully, "Why?"
"Because you look so fierce, like a ferocious monster."
As soon as the words came out, not only Jiang Tingzhou was stunned for a moment, but even Su Meng herself was stunned!
What's happening here! Although she had seen some barrages on site a before, such as "So fierce, like a fierce monster", she had never posted such barrages herself.
She is a female, and she really cannot say such coquettish words.
But now, she actually said these words! And it was in front of Jiang Tingzhou!
