The next day, when Yan Mu woke up, Yu Yuan had already cleaned up the house.
Not only that, but the kitchen also steamed yellow rice dumplings.
Yan Mu came out of the room rubbing his eyes, and saw Yu Yuan's busy figure.
Yan Mu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered it belatedly.
She hurried forward to stop her and said, "You're injured, let me do these things."
"I woke up early today."
Yu Yuan kept moving his hands, he brought out the steamed yellow rice and vegetable dumplings, and took the bowl and chopsticks.
After everything was done, Yu Yuan wiped his hands carefully and walked over, then said in a muffled voice: "... I won't eat for free."
"What are you talking about!" Yan Mu was taken aback for a moment, then sighed again, "Let me take a look at your wound first."
Yu Yuan lowered his eyes, as docile and obedient as a little sheep.
He obediently sat down on the small bench.
Yan Mu picked up the cloth and ointment and treated Yu Yuan's wound.
It was dark last night, and she was sleepy again, so she didn't react for a while.
After taking a closer look today, she felt that there was something wrong with the wound.
"How did you get this wound?" Thinking of Yu Yuan's performance yesterday, Yan Mu felt more and more strange.
"Both Zhang Liehu and Zhang Goudan lied to me." Yu Yuan lowered his head to hide his expression: "They have secretly pawned off my mother's belongings a long time ago."
"That's really..." Yan Mu froze, and looked at Yu Yuan sympathetically.
"They just want me to work for nothing." Yu Yuan said lightly.
Although Yu Yuan was very calm.
Even too calm.
But being deceived for so long, Yan Mu felt that Yu Yuan must be very sad.
Therefore, although Yan Mu still felt that what happened last night was strange, looking at Yu Yuan's thin figure, Yan Mu still couldn't bear to ask.
She stopped talking, and leaned over to apply medicine for Yu Yuan.
Yan Mu's eyes are slightly squinted, and her slender eyelashes are like butterflies fluttering their wings.
Those apricot eyes were very focused, as if Yu Yuan was the only one in his eyes.
Yu Yuan's breathing stopped for a moment.
Thinking of his deception, Yu Yuan felt self-loathing welling up in his heart.
So, he turned his head away in silence.
Yan Mu didn't know anything about Yu Yuan's mental activities, she stroked Yu Yuan's chin with her cool fingertips, and pushed Yu Yuan's head back.
"Don't make trouble." Yan Mu's breath brushed against his ears, causing a burst of numbness.
Afterwards, a cold touch engulfed his wound.
Yu Yuan froze.
He suddenly realized that he was so close to Yan Mu at this moment.
He was hated by others since he was a child, and even his mother rarely hugged her.
Not to mention being so close to other people.
Only Yan Mu...
The tips of the ears were involuntarily stained with crimson.
Yu Yuan pursed his lips, trying his best to suppress the increasingly violent heartbeat.
It seems like a year has passed, and it seems that only a moment has passed.
He heard the snap of the lid of the ointment.
Yu Yuan quickly adjusted his expression, took the ointment and thanked Yan Mu.
"It's okay." Yan Mu smiled at Yu Yuan, "Let's eat."
Yu Yuan nodded and followed behind Yan Mu.
The wind in the morning was still a bit chilly, Yan Mu coughed again.
Yan Mu coughed for a long time before she stopped, and her face became paler.
Yu Yuan felt that Yan Mu's health was getting worse recently.
He thought of the rumor that Yan Mu would not live to be eighteen, and also remembered the way the villagers called him a disaster star.
Now, even the only person who would smile at him tenderly, is going away from him
Yu Yuan's lips turned white from being bitten.
***********
Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the school is closed for one day as usual, so the atmosphere in the school today is very active.
In ancient times when entertainment activities were scarce, celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival was considered a major event.
There is no need to do farm work on this day, children can secretly drink realgar wine, and there are all kinds of rice dumplings to eat.
There is no class yet, and the students are all gathered together to chat and discuss.
Yan Mu was the only girl, and the male students were all out of face, so no one talked to her.
Yu Yuan was the disaster star in the eyes of the village name. The students felt that being close to him would bring bad luck, and the surroundings were as deserted as ever.
What's more, there was such a big wound on Yu Yuan's forehead, and everyone commented on him when they saw it.
Fortunately, Yu Yuan is not a social person.
On the outside, he will always be the cold and reticent Yu Yuan.
He turned his head and glanced at Yan Mu who was bored.
"Have you written your essay yet?" Yu Yuan was at a loss for words.
"...not yet. Sir, didn't you say you should pay after the Dragon Boat Festival?" Yan Mu has never been very enthusiastic about studying.
"Yeah." Yu Yuan nodded, and then said nothing.
He is not good at finding topics and enlivening the atmosphere.
Yu Yuan pursed his lips, and was searching for something to say, when Yan Mu said, "Are you still sleeping at my house today?"
Yu Yuan's hand trembled, and he almost missed the pen.
His eyes were dim, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"What's wrong with you?" Yan Mu frowned.
Could it be that Yu Yuan doesn't want to sleep in her house
She is going to attack at night today!
The one-month period is approaching, and her body is getting weaker and weaker.
This made Yan Mu a little impetuous.
Fortunately, the relationship with Yu Yuan has become better recently, which gave Yan Mu a little confidence.
Even if he failed, he shouldn't be hurt by Yu Yuan... right
When Yan Mu thought that he had plans for Yu Yuan, he immediately felt a little guilty.
So, she secretly glanced at Yu Yuan again.
Her peeking gaze just matched Yu Yuan's gaze.
... always feel more guilty.
Yan Mu turned his head and muttered.
"I'm sorry, I have caused you trouble." Yu Yuan was silent for a while, then lowered his head and said slowly, "I hope you... don't hate me."
"I don't hate you!" Yan Mu quickly explained.
Yu Yuan must have misunderstood the way she turned her head to avoid it just now.
Yan Mu sighed, thinking of the one-month period, she felt a little anxious.
"I just want to say that you can stay at my house temporarily." Yan Mu explained, "I'm not in good health, and all the work in the house falls on my father. If you live at home, if you can help me out, then my father will Very happy."
What Yan Mu said is the truth, after all, Father Yan is a farmer.
Father Yan has several acres of fertile land in his hands. Now that Father Yan is getting older, the farm work is too heavy for him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, Yan Mu found that Yu Yuan's eyes became darker.
"Don't you want to?" Yan Mu asked cautiously.
"I... am willing." Yu Yuan turned his head away and said.
After hearing Yan Mu's words, he hated himself even more.
Yan Mu is so gentle and caring for him... But he, in order to live in Yan Mu's house, deceived her with despicable and dirty means.
He is a villain who repays kindness with revenge.
But... even if it's only a little bit.
Even if there is only a little bit of care and tenderness, he wants to get it greedily.
He saw the first ray of light in the morning, and he could never return to the dark night alone.
He wants to be with Yan Mu.
Even if he is abused and cast aside by the villagers, in the final analysis, he is just a "human being".
Therefore, even if he is as humble and despicable as him, he still wants to have a friend.
The author has something to say:
Yan Mu: I will kiss you tonight, until you doubt your life!
I was so sleepy after the vaccination, I have slept till now.
Worst of all, my arm was swollen wow wow wow (Wang cried out) The author's original thick unicorn arm made things worse. orz
