Obviously his hand is not warm at all, but at this moment, it makes me feel that it is the warmest place in the world.
In the morning, after I woke up, I was surprised to find: under the eaves, on a small square table, there was a bowl of porridge, a bowl of yellow steamed eggs, and a plate of emerald green cold seaweed.
I couldn't help swallowing, and shouted loudly: "Wu Julan, you made breakfast!"
"It's not me, could it be you?" Wu Julan's indifferent voice came from the study, a sentence that should have been a joke, no matter how it sounds, it seems to be mocking my IQ. However, according to my understanding of him, he should simply think that I asked too much.
With a little expectation, I took a sip of the white porridge and was immediately amazed.
Everyone seems to be able to make porridge, but there may not be many chefs who can cook porridge well. A mouthful of porridge is in my mouth, neither hard nor soft, neither thick nor thin, just right, the rice flavor is so rich that I can't bear to swallow it. I have only had such a fragrant porridge in a small time-honored shop in Guangzhou.
Cold seaweed and steamed eggs also have their own advantages, one is refreshing and the other is delicious, and it is particularly appetizing when eaten with white porridge. Without looking up, I emptied a plate and two bowls.
In the past, I read in novels that the simpler the dish, the more the test of cooking skills, I always didn’t believe it. Today’s breakfast was delicious, and I finally believed it and finally understood Wu Julan’s attitude towards my cooking. Dislike of art.
After I washed the dishes, I walked into the study and saw Wu Julan playing with the computer.
I dragged a stool and sat in front of Wu Julan, resting my elbows on the computer desk, tilting my head, not talking, just staring at Wu Julan without blinking.
After a long while, Wu Julan's eyes moved from the computer screen to my face, expressing with calm to indifferent eyes: What are you crazy about
Wu Julan's skin is extremely fair, his facial features are strong, his nose bridge is straight, his eye sockets are deeper than ordinary East Asians, and his eyebrows are black and long. When he looks at each other blankly and coldly, he looks like a creature at the top of the food chain overlooking the bottom of the food chain His coldness and arrogance must be said to be very intimidating.
It's a pity, I've seen him dressed in funny clothes, weak and unconscious, and saw him doing laundry, cleaning, and cooking diligently and virtuously.
I didn't feel scared, but I thought he was like a bluffing kid who always likes to scare people. By coincidence, I stretched out my hand and pinched Wu Julan's cheek lovingly.
Delicate skin, cold tentacles.
I bared my teeth and grinned for a moment, before I belatedly realized what I was doing, and was stunned. Wu Julan was also stunned.
The two stared at each other, unable to believe that my hand was pinching his face
Wu Julan's eyes drooped slightly, and he looked at the hand that was still pinching his cheek. His eyes were very strange, which made me feel that he might bite off my hand in an instant.
I was very knowledgeable about current affairs, so I quickly withdrew my hand, hid it behind my back, and smiled dryly: "Hehe, hehe"
Wu Julan raised her eyes and stared at me, I immediately felt my throat dry up, and I couldn't laugh anymore.
I resolutely surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao, "I finished eating the breakfast you cooked, it was so delicious, no wonder you despise my cooking skills, and I also despise my own cooking skills now."
Wu Julan was not moved by my flattery at all, and said flatly: "It's good to have self-knowledge. I will cook in the future."
Of course I won’t object, I immediately nodded vigorously, but my focus is not on this, but: “Wu Julan, your cooking skills are so good, you can definitely be a chef in a five-star hotel, how can you be so downcast as us? where?"
Yesterday, I thought about not planning to develop him into a boyfriend, and I was not interested in exploring his past, but today I can't help being curious anymore. No way, who told him that he is a mystery from head to toe, even I, who has read novels and TV series and is so good at brainstorming, can't think of his experience.
Wu Julan stared at me, narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to be thinking carefully about how he got here.
For some reason, I suddenly shivered, and the hairs all over my body stood on end, as if I suddenly found a poisonous snake staring at me, and I was instinctively frightened. My body was stiff and I dared not move. Fortunately, Wu Julan quickly looked away and looked at the computer silently.
I heaved a sigh of relief, almost slumped on the computer desk, and looked at Wu Julan again, but there was nothing unusual. I was very annoyed, this was the second time I was almost frightened by his eyes. I couldn't help covering the computer with my hand, and said fiercely: "Answer me if I ask you something"
Wu Julan looked at me and said, "Everyone encounters bad luck. I've had bad luck recently."
He didn't really explain it, but one sentence of his seemed to explain a lot. My anger dissipated in an instant, and I felt a little sad. I didn't know how to comfort him. After a while of silence, I said: "If you don't know where to go for a while, just stay here and help me with my work. When you want to leave, I will Give you enough travel expenses."
Wu Julan stared at me blankly for a moment, stood up without saying anything, and walked away.
I stared at his back and muttered cursing: "There is no human touch at all, anyway, I am helping you, and I don't even have a smile."
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the decorator I had appointed came. His name was Wang Tianlin. He was the husband of my junior high school classmate. We had met before, and he was an acquaintance.
I led him from upstairs to downstairs, and looked at all the houses carefully. Wang Tianlin knew that I was short of money, so he spoke very honestly, "Renovation is a bottomless pit. For the same house, someone spends a hundred dollars. It costs more than ten thousand for decoration, and some people spend hundreds of thousands for decoration. My idea is that we can save as much as we can, but there are some places that absolutely cannot. One is for safety and health, and the other is that cheap things will break down after one or two years of use, and they will be repaired in the future It will cost more to repair.”
Makes sense, I nodded "hmm".
Wang Tianlin took out his notebook and pen, scribbling and drawing to analyze which places must be newly built and which places can only be refurbished. In the house renovated eight years ago, many places have aged, and I have pointed out them one by one, so that when the time comes, what should be repaired and what should be replaced. The two discussed and drew up a renovation plan.
I believed in Wang Tianlin, and I knew that he had purchasing channels there, and the price of the materials he got must be cheaper than buying them outside, so I simply entrusted Wang Tianlin to help me purchase all the materials I need. Wang Tianlin made a rough calculation and told me that materials and labor cost at least 80,000 yuan.
The price is a little higher than I expected, but it is normal for the decoration to have a discrepancy of 10,000 to 20,000, so I agree. Because materials need to be purchased, plus a deposit, we agreed to pay 50,000 yuan in advance, and the remaining money will be paid in installments according to the progress of the project and the purchase of materials.
Wang Tianlin knew that I was in a hurry to start work, so after some consideration, he decided to start work the day after tomorrow. Because it wasn't a drastic renovation, Wang Tianlin promised to work as quickly as possible under the premise of ensuring the quality. It was estimated that it would take more than half a month.
I asked gratefully: "Is the advance payment a transfer or cash"
"Best in cash."
It's just a little troublesome, I am willing to cooperate, "Then I will send it to you tomorrow."
Wang Tianlin said bluntly: "I will take a boat across the sea to buy materials early tomorrow morning, and I will come back at night. We are acquaintances, and there is no one who cheats the other. When we start work the day after tomorrow, just give it to me."
"good"
Wang Tianlin saw that everything had been discussed and decided, chatted for a while, and was about to leave. I thanked him again and again and sent Wang Tianlin away.
The next day, I went to the bank to withdraw money.
In addition to the 50,000 yuan I paid Wang Tianlin in advance, I also withdrew an extra 10,000 yuan to buy TVs, tables and chairs and so on. The transportation on the island is inconvenient, and it often takes ten days to half a month for delivery of large items. It is better to buy early than late. If you buy it early, it’s a big deal to find a place to pile it up first; if you buy it late, it’s very likely that the goods haven’t arrived after the inn opens.
Although I knew that the people on the island were simple and the law and order were good, but there were 60,000 yuan in the bag, I was still very careful, and deliberately pulled the bag to my chest and clamped it tightly under my arm.
Walking through the bustling vegetable market, I looked up at the Mazu Street winding upwards along the mountain, thinking that I was about to get home, and my vigilance weakened a bit.
Due to various reasons, the old streets on the island were demolished and rebuilt. When the government reacted and wanted to protect them, only the most remote Mazu Street and Lantern Street where tourists gather at the pier remained. The streets of the old street are narrow and closed to cars. The streets are lined with old houses of local people. Except for a small shop selling tobacco, alcohol and snacks, there are no businesses doing business, and it is very quiet.
It was working hours, and there was no one on the street. I walked along the potholed stone road in the middle of the road. A motorcycle came down from above, and there were two men sitting in the car, both wearing motorcycle helmets that covered their faces.
I gave way to the side of the road, but the motorcycle came straight at me. When I passed by, the man behind reached out and grabbed my bag. Amidst the roar of the engine, the motorcycle suddenly accelerated and galloped forward. I subconsciously grabbed the strap of the bag, but my strength could not resist the power of the motorcycle. I was immediately dragged to the ground, and my whole body was dragged towards Forward.
The thin dress did not provide any protection, and my body was scraped by the potholed stones quickly. My whole body hurt, but I was thinking about the 60,000 yuan, so I desperately grabbed the bag and refused to let it go. The person sitting on the back of the motorcycle muttered and cursed, and took a knife to cut the bag belt. The motorcycle bumped, and the sharp blade slipped across my hand. Under the severe pain, I finally let go of my hand and fell to the ground. I don't know what's in my eyes
Whether it was dust or blood, anyway, the pain was so painful that I couldn't see anything clearly, only the roar of the motorcycle quickly went away and disappeared.
From seeing the motorcycle to being robbed of the bag, in just two or three minutes, Matsu Street was still peaceful and warm, as if nothing had happened, but I had already walked around the ghost gate.
I forced myself to stand up, but the shoe on one foot was missing, and my two legs were worn to pieces, all covered in blood, and the blood on the back of my hand was bubbling. I felt that my vision was blurred, and I couldn't see the road at all. I wiped my eyes with my hand, but wiped the blood and dirt all over my face, making my vision even more unclear.
I thought I should call the police, but my phone was in my bag and it was also taken away. After vaguely discerning the direction of my home, I walked tremblingly while calling, "Is anyone there?"
I was in pain all over my body, and I screamed very hard, hoping that someone could help me, but I don't know if it was because my voice was hoarse and could not be heard, or because no one was home from the nearby houses, and no one came all the time. At that moment, people clearly walked under the sun, but seemed to be in a dark and hopeless world.
No one will help me, all I have is myself.
Since no one heard me, I simply stopped screaming, and my despair ended, but I calmed down. Fear is useless, and crying is useless, just like when I was a child, the only way out is to grit my teeth and move forward. At that time I firmly believed that I would always grow up, and now I firmly believe that I will always come home.
Because I couldn't see the way, I could only act like a blind man, with both hands stretched forward, groping and tentatively walking forward one step after another, each step seemed to be on the edge of a knife.
Suddenly, a cold hand grabbed mine, and like a frightened animal, I shrank back suddenly, but immediately heard Wu Julan's voice: "It's me!"
Accompanied by his voice, he held my hand tightly and didn't let me break free. Obviously his hand was not warm at all, but at this moment, it made me feel that it was the warmest place in the world .
I held his hand tightly, lest he disappear. He seemed to understand my fear and said, "I am here and I will not leave."
I gradually calmed down, feeling very embarrassed, and said in a hoarse voice: "I was robbed, please call the police immediately. I was also injured, and I probably need to go to the hospital."
Wu Julan said: "I have seen your injuries, don't worry, only the cut on the back of the right hand is more serious. Although the other injuries look terrible, they are all skin trauma."
I said, "I don't know what's wrong with my eyes, I can't see clearly."
"It doesn't matter. It's just that dirty things got in. Wash it with clean water and your eyesight will recover." Wu Julan said softly, "Your hand is injured. Relax your hand and don't use force."
I relaxed a little, Wu Julan immediately took both of my hands away, I called out nervously: "Wu Julan"
"I'm here."
After hearing the sound of "stab", Wu Julan tied a cloth band tightly around my arm and explained, "to help stop the bleeding."
"thank you"
While I was crying out in shock, Wu Julan hugged me horizontally and strode forward, "Let's go to the hospital."
Just now, I was holding on with my lonely courage, but now I have support and I have completely let go of my heart. Only then do I feel scared, my limbs are weak, and my body is shaking uncontrollably. I simply leaned my head on Wu Julan's shoulder and curled up in his arms.
Although I still can't see clearly, and my whole body still hurts, I can clearly feel the sun shining on my body, and it's a warm and bright day.
When passing by a small shop opened by neighbors on the street, a few old people who were sitting in front of the small shop drinking tea and playing chess saw my frightening appearance, and started yelling like a frying pan, calling taxis and taxis enthusiastically. Call the police.
After getting into the taxi, Wu Julan raised my injured hand high, "Let the blood flow slower."
I smiled, "I guessed it, I saw it on TV." I touched the cloth strap on my arm, "Where did the cloth strap come from? It wasn't ripped from your clothes, right? A bit corny."
"You guessed it right. You like watching TV and movies." Wu Julan was probably worried that I wouldn't be able to watch them, so in order to make me feel at ease, he spoke a little more rarely.
"I don't know whether it's like it or I'm used to it. As long as I can remember, my parents have been arguing. They don't have time to talk to me, so I can only watch TV quietly; later, I lived with my stepfather and stepmother, and I was afraid of being disgusted. , every time they go out to play, I watch TV at home; Later, I found that watching TV is not only very suitable for one's own entertainment, but also does not need to spend money. It is the best choice for people like me who are determined to save money From Hong Kong TVB dramas, domestic dramas, Korean dramas, and later American dramas and Thai dramas, although many people despise this kind of unstyled pastime, for me, TV dramas have almost accompanied me growing up. In those bloody and bizarre plots, there are sinister people and treacherous plots, but there are also warm family, romantic love, and passionate friendship.
I talked and laughed, "When I was young, my classmates envied me, because there were no adults watching, I could watch some TV that only adults could watch, and I was the first in the class to see men and women kissing and having sex. people"
Uh, it seems a bit carried away, and I hurriedly corrected it: "It's not a pornographic film, it's the kind where the hero and heroine kiss and pretend to do something, but in fact the camera cuts off quickly, just implying that the audience will do it"
I felt that the more I said it, the more something was wrong, so I shut up embarrassingly.
Fortunately, the hospital was not far away, and the driver was frightened by my appearance again, so he drove fast and arrived soon.
Jiang Yisheng had already received the call, and was waiting at the entrance of the hospital pushing a sliding bed.
Wu Julan opened the car door, I was just trying to get out of the car, but he had already carried me out of the car.
Jiang Yisheng was shocked when he saw my appearance, and after Wu Julan put me on the bed, he immediately pushed me to the emergency room.
Jiang Yisheng asked me where it hurts while walking. Hearing that my eyes were hurting and I couldn't see clearly, he quickly bent down to check, and made sure that there was no injury, but dirty things got into his eyes and blood was stuck in his eyes. He comforted me: "Let the nurse wash your eyes with water later, and you will be fine in a while."
After entering the emergency room, the nurse saw that Dr. Jiang had brought him, so instead of chasing him away, he asked, "Doctor Jiang, are you and this gentleman staying?"
Jiang Yisheng laughed twice, and said to me: "We are so familiar that I really can't watch you take off your clothes. I'm afraid it will leave a psychological shadow, so I'd better go outside and wait."
The doctors and nurses all burst into laughter, and I couldn't help twitching the corners of my mouth and scolding: "Get out!"
Jiang Yisheng pulled Wu Julan to "roll" to the door of the emergency room. He didn't close the door, but closed the curtain, so that although he couldn't see inside, he could hear the conversation inside.
When the doctor checked my body, the nurse washed my eyes. Because of Jiang Yisheng's relationship, both the doctor and the nurse were very dedicated.
When my eyes could see clearly again, the doctor’s examination was over. He said: “The injury on my hand is more serious, and the others are all skin trauma. The injury on my hand needs at least twelve or thirteen stitches. , will not affect the function of the hand, leaving a scar at most."
Similar to Wu Julan's and Jiang Yisheng's judgments, I said, "Please trouble the doctor."
The doctor untied the bandage that Wu Julan had tied around my arm, and asked, "Who did the first aid for you very well?"
"My cousin."
He must have heard my answer, Jiang Yisheng's voice came from outside, "Biao Brother Wu knows a lot about first aid, I have learned it before."
Wu Julan said: "I have learned a little bit."
Jiang Yisheng said: "I must give you a thumbs up. Even if people have attended a few lectures, they will forget everything when they encounter something. I see that although you moved quickly just now, you were not nervous. Obviously, you have already judged that Xiao Luo Nothing will happen."
Wu Julan was silent, neither admitted nor denied.
Jiang Yisheng was just chatting and didn't ask any more questions. On the contrary, I was surprised that Wu Julan not only knew first aid, but also knew some medical skills. Indeed, as Jiang Yisheng said, although Wu Julan has been acting quickly, he is not nervous and flustered. It is obvious that he has judged that there is nothing serious about me. This is what professionals can do.
After the doctor finished treating the wound, I limped out of the emergency room wearing a nurse uniform and a pair of nurse shoes.
Jiang Yisheng burst out laughing, "Wow, subdue the temptation!"
I blushed all of a sudden, I was 1.73 meters tall, and the nurse's uniform I borrowed was a bit short, with two long legs exposed, and I wanted to replace them, but the doctor said, "It's just right, it doesn't hinder the injury on the legs. "
I glanced at Wu Julan quickly, and said to Jiang Yisheng: "My dress is completely unwearable. The nurse looked for someone to borrow clothes for your sake. It's still tempting. I'm tempted by my ghostly appearance."
Jiang Yisheng saw that I was really annoyed, he didn't dare to joke anymore, he patted the wheelchair he had prepared with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
"You are not working"
Jiang Yisheng imitated my tone and said: "You look like a ghost, I still have a knitting wool"
I couldn't laugh or cry, I glared at Jiang Yisheng and sat in the wheelchair.
