When Luo Xiangdong saw this, he also frowned and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you see that the waiters all serve them with towels on them?"
I pursed my lips and replied in a low voice: "I didn't see it."
If I had said anything when I saw it, I wouldn't have been burned so badly.
Wei Zheng glanced at my finger and said with worry: "It's very hot. I think it's best to apply some medicine to prevent it from getting serious."
I was about to say it's okay, it doesn't matter, Luo Xiangdong had already spoken before me: "I'll take her out to buy some medicine, you guys take it first."
When I turned my head, I saw him standing up.
Zheng Zeyu said: "Where can I buy medicine?"
Luo Xiangdong replied: "When I came in just now, I saw a pharmacy outside."
I stood up and said, "No need to bother, I'll just go by myself."
Luo Xiangdong had already pushed the chair under the table, looked at me and said, "Let's go, don't say that I, the boss, are mean to you. If you ask for leave if your hand is broken later, I will still charge you with a work-related injury."
I pursed my lips, and then said to the other three people on the table: "You guys eat first, and we'll be back as soon as we go."
Zheng Zeyu said: "Do you need us to accompany you?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Come on, she burned her hands, not her feet. We don't need to carry her. You can eat what you have."
While we were talking, Luo Xiangdong and I had already moved to the door, opened the door halfway, and stepped out.
There is a small drugstore diagonally across from the hotel. Luo Xiangdong and I walked back and forth to the drugstore. During this period, I stretched my hands intentionally or unintentionally. I was afraid that my fingertips would touch anything, because now it hurts even if I don't touch it.
Seeing this, Luo Xiangdong turned his head and said, "It still hurts?"
I shook my head subconsciously: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Don't be careless in doing things in the future. If you are injured, no one can hurt you."
I pursed my lips and said nothing because I didn't know what to say.
After entering the pharmacy, Luo Xiangdong, who was wearing a mask, said to the clerk: "She burned her hand. What is the most effective burn medicine here?"
The clerk looked at me and asked aloud: "How did you get burned?"
I spread my hands and replied aloud: "I got burned by the hot pot."
The clerk took a closer look and said, "Oh, this is quite hot."
After saying that, she turned around and took down a box of medicine from the shelf and said, "Try applying this ointment."
All ten of my fingers were burned to varying degrees, so I didn't dare to pick it up. The clerk helped me take the ointment out of the box and asked, "Do you want me to apply it for you or your boyfriend?"
I subconsciously glanced at Luo Xiangdong next to me, and quickly replied: "He is not my boyfriend, please help me apply it."
The clerk said oh, then glanced at Luo Xiangdong, and then said with a faint smile: "Sorry, I thought you two were together."
I said, "We are together, but we are not boyfriend and girlfriend."
The clerk was a woman in her thirties. She seemed to be very interested in Luo Xiangdong. While applying ointment to me, she would look at him from time to time and ask aloud: "You guys came here specially to eat hot pot too." ?”
Luo Xiangdong stood by the counter, looked at my hand, and hummed casually.
The clerk said: "Looking at the way you two are dressed, you should work in the company. If you can come here to eat from all over the street, you must have eaten enough delicious food outside."
Luo Xiangdong didn't look at her, but said directly: "Please apply it carefully for her. Will there be any scars?"
The clerk then looked at my hand and said, "A layer of skin will peel off, depending on whether she has scars. However, the skin on the hands is less likely to leave scars. Fortunately, it is not burned on the face."
The clerk took a cotton swab and dipped it in white ointment, and gently applied it on the pads of my fingers. The ointment should be mixed with mint, which was refreshing and cooling, and somewhat relieved the burning sensation from the previous burn. But it still hurts, especially when the fingers are connected to the heart. Sometimes she hits hard and my fingers tremble in pain.
After I finished applying the medicine, Luo Xiangdong took out his wallet from his trouser pocket and handed a one-hundred-dollar bill to the clerk.
The clerk asked: "Do you need other oral medicine? Taking it together should help you recover faster."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Just watch and take it."
I seriously suspect that this female clerk was either trying to steal money or looking for an opportunity to talk to Luo Xiangdong, because from the beginning to the end, her attention was not on me, the injured person.
The clerk didn't know what kind of medicine he gave me. In the end, he packed a whole bag. The one hundred yuan wasn't enough, so he asked Luo Xiangdong for another seven yuan.
Luo Xiangdong took out another hundred, handed it to the clerk and said, "Does she need to wrap her hands?"
The clerk smiled charmingly at Luo Xiangdong and said, "This is not a cut, so it doesn't need to be wrapped."
I shuddered all over, thinking that the female clerk had no other intentions for Luo Xiangdong, so I turned around and swallowed the whole bag of medicine alive.
After Luo Xiangdong gave us the money, we walked out of the pharmacy side by side. As soon as we walked out of the door, I heard him whisper: "What a shabby place. Poor villages and bad water breed unruly people."
This sentence hit me hard and I laughed out loud.
Luo Xiangdong glanced at me sideways, frowned and said, "You're still smiling, your fingers don't hurt anymore?"
I said, "Mr. Luo, don't blame others for smiling at you. It's just that you are too charming."
Luo Xiangdong glared at me and said in a low voice: "It depends on what kind of bad place you found, you must be punished."
After saying that, without waiting for me to reply, he turned around and walked towards the hotel. I followed him, unable to get angry at all. I thought about his saying, "The bad water in a poor country brings out unruly people", and the more I thought about it, the more I laughed.
After Luo Xiangdong and I returned to the private room, we found that the table was full of food, barbecue and stir-fry dishes were also served, and the plates were piled so high that there was no room for them.
Wei Zheng and Zheng Zeyu both expressed their sincere condolences to me. Even Qin Yichuan, who has always been taciturn, rarely asked out loud: "Are you okay?"
My heart was in turmoil, and I thought it would be such an honor to have him say a word to me, so I quickly nodded in response: "It's okay."
After sitting down, Wei Zheng said: "Eat quickly, it smells pretty good, it should be delicious."
Only then did I realize that Luo Xiangdong and I hadn't come back, and the three of them hadn't used their chopsticks at all. Maybe this is the quality of people with higher education. Although there are many people who hate the rich and always talk about how extravagant and debauched the children of rich families are, but in my opinion, apart from changing their girlfriends more frequently, they have nothing else. Something wrong.
Then again, they are rich and good-looking, so many women want to go out of their way to curry favor with them. If they can keep themselves safe, they will really be damned.
Everyone picked up the plastic-wrapped disposable chopsticks and prepared to eat. I stretched out my hand to take it, but as soon as my fingertips touched the plastic skin on the outside of the chopsticks, I immediately took it back in pain.
My little movement happened to be caught by Luo Xiangdong. He turned his head and said, "It still hurts so much?"
His words also attracted the other three people to look at me uniformly.
I didn’t want to be special, so I smiled and replied, “It’s okay.”
Just when I was about to go for the unopened chopsticks, I saw a pair of white wooden chopsticks handed to me by Luo Xiangdong.
I looked at him in surprise, but when I saw Luo Xiangdong's expression was as usual, he took the chopsticks in front of me and gave me his chopsticks.
Zheng Zeyu, who was sitting on my left, handed me a few skewers and said with a smile: "Don't use your fingertips, hold them somewhere else."
Finally, I held a skewer on the skewer between my thumb and forefinger, and while eating, I said, "That's good, don't delay things, try it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Zheng Zeyu has the most cheerful temperament. After eating half a skewer, he immediately raised his head and said to the others: "Well, it's delicious."
Following him, Wei Zheng and Qin Yichuan also ate. Qin Yichuan didn't say anything, but he reached out to take it again. I knew that I had introduced him correctly. Wang Lao Wu Grand Hotel was indeed worthy of its reputation.
In fact, what I care about most is Luo Xiangdong's reaction. Everyone urged him to try it. He picked up a bunch of beef and took a bite. I quickly asked: "How is it? Does it taste good? The beef here is quite good." Okay, not the kind from a roadside stall.”
Luo Xiangdong nodded invisibly, hummed, and then said: "Okay."
I saw that he was enjoying the food, so I didn’t care about the word choice. I smiled and said, “You can try the stir-fried vegetables and hot pot, they are both delicious.”
The house was filled with the aroma of barbecued meat and the five of us feasted on it. It was okay for me to use a skewer with a tiger's mouth to pick up the skewers, but when I wanted to use chopsticks, I found that I couldn't use them at all.
There was a plate of meat cuts placed in front of me. I couldn't see that I couldn't eat it. I couldn't pick it up after picking it up with my new chopsticks three times. I was too embarrassed to pick it up again, so I had to pretend that nothing happened and silently picked it up. The skewers on the side.
Not long after, there were two roasted pork slices with green onions on the porcelain plate on my right. I looked up and saw that Luo Xiangdong had pinched it for me.
He said: "You're done, but you burned your hands before eating, and now you have to take care of me."
Having said that, he brought me some other dishes.
Zheng Zeyu said with a smile: "This is called thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Who asked you to instruct Zi Jin to buy egg tarts?"
Luo Xiangdong glanced at Zheng Zeyu and said, "It's not what you want to eat."
Zheng Zeyu said: "I have a soft mouth, and now I have to make up for it." After that, he used serving chopsticks to help me put a lot of cooked meat and vegetables into the bowl, and said: "Zijin, eat more, If you don’t eat this meal, please don’t eat it for free.”
I smiled and replied, "Thank you."
Zheng Zeyu said: "You're welcome, who cares about who among us?"
Luo Xiangdong, who was sitting on my right, suddenly said: "I also brought you food, why don't you thank me?"
I turned my head to look at him, but saw him looking at me provocatively.
I immediately said with a smile, "Thank you... Mr. Luo."
Zheng Zeyu said: "It's not working time now. Don't call Mr. Luo "Old" just like Mr. Luo. Just call him brother."
Do you want to call Luo Xiangdong brother? !
I would never dream of this.
Seeing me shaking my head hurriedly, Zheng Zeyu took a mutton skewer, looked at me with a half-smile and asked: "What? You think he is too old, don't you want to call me brother?"
This big hole was dug, so I immediately replied: "No, our Mr. Luo is only twenty-eight, how old is he?"
"Then why don't you call me brother?"
I glanced at Luo Xiangdong, and then whispered: "Don't you dare."
