Licheng Twilight

Chapter 31

"Mumu, hurry up and go back to practicing the piano." Just after school, Ye Tianche ran out of the window of the third class to urge her with her schoolbag on her shoulders. Mu Mu lowered her head, sighed inaudibly, and still cleaned up on her own Good stuff just went out.

"Ye Tianche," she looked at him kindly, clasped her hands together, "may I take a day off today?"

The boy stopped in his footsteps, his expression was calm, "The reason."

"Uh, I—I have an appointment with Li'er to go shopping." Mu Mu twisted her fingers, her eyes dodging a little.

"Tell the truth." Ye Tianche folded his arms and narrowed his eyes slightly.This girl usually doesn't lie, what happened today?
Mu Mu raised her hand and touched the bangs on her forehead, "Well, I broke someone's bone, so I have to be responsible."

"Ah?!" Ye Tianche's expression became a little nervous, and he became serious, "What's going on?"

Mu Mu pursed her lips, and explained slowly as she walked forward, "When I passed the playground at noon yesterday, there was a boy playing football on the playground, but he accidentally fell down, as if he was dislocated and couldn't move. , I just want to send him to the infirmary. Then—"

"Wait," Ye Tianche waved his arms and legs to signal something, but Mu Mu was even more puzzled, "The playground is so far away from the infirmary, how did you, a girl, get him there?"

Mu Mu smiled, patted the dust off her hands and said casually, "I carried him on my back." She moved her neck as she spoke, "It's a good thing he's quite thin, otherwise I have nothing to do."

A 17-year-old boy, no matter how thin he is, he must be more than 120. Ye Tianche swallowed, and then asked, "And then?"

"That's the problem," she sighed, quite puzzled, "That boy has been refusing to cooperate and is always moving around. Isn't there a long staircase next to the infirmary?" She stuck out her tongue , "Uh, I accidentally dropped him, and then he broke a bone."

Ye Tianche laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up, his big eyes were full of admiration, and in the end he didn't walk any further and just sat on the railing in the garden laughing.

The boy with the fracture was Xu Jiawen, a very gentle and kind boy, he was a little short-sighted, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses made him even more temperamental. When Mu Mu entered the ward, he was reading a book, and she walked lightly, not daring to disturb him. he.

"You're here," he closed the book, took off his glasses without looking up, and smiled naturally.

"Today is wax gourd pork rib soup," she opened the thermos, and the rich aroma immediately filled the room, "drink it while it's hot."

Xu Jiawen's parents are very busy with work and don't have much time to take care of him. Mu Mu felt guilty, so she took the responsibility of taking care of him.

While he was eating soup, Mu Mu was bored and picked up the book he had placed by the bed and flipped through it.

"It's delicious." Out of the corner of his eye, he took in her movements and asked casually, "Have you seen it?"

"If You Give Me Three Days of Light," she read the title of the book, rubbed her fingers over the pages, and nodded, "I read it in the freshman year of high school."

"How is it?" He asked slowly, drinking the soup unhurriedly.

"It's pretty good," she put down the book, and said something perfunctory, but when she looked up, she saw him listening carefully, and after thinking about it, she added, "Well, in comparison, I feel very lucky. She met There are far more difficulties than we imagined, even beyond our imagination."

Xu Jiawen nodded and agreed, "Helen Keller once said something that I really like. It seems to be——After experiencing the thrill of flying in the sky, who can walk slowly on the ground?"

"I also know this sentence. I didn't feel much when I saw it at the time, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense." Mu Mu's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and his expression was obviously a lot more excited. It's my motto," she spread her hands, with a childish look on her face, "but after reading a lot of books, there are many words I like, and I don't know which sentence to choose."

The two people looked at each other and smiled, the sense of distance has been shortened a lot invisibly, and the conversation box has gradually opened up, from Tagore to Neruda, from "Anna Karenina" to "War and Peace", Mu Mu's It turned out that Xu Jiawen had read so many books, and he could ignore other things when chatting with him, and people from all over the world could find topics to talk about.

After almost two weeks like this, Xu Jiawen's legs are almost healed. A few days ago, Mu Mu could walk a long way in the garden with a little support. Today, Mu Mu walked through the corridor of the hospital. But I didn't see Xu Jiawen. He would usually practice walking here at this time. Could it be that he was lazy and still sleeping today?She pushed open the door of the ward, but saw that the quilt on the bed was neatly folded.

She was about to go back and look in the garden, but Xu Jiawen suddenly jumped out from behind. He wanted to scare her, but he didn't expect that not only did she not look frightened at all, but she kept staring at his freely smiling sunshine Can Can, "That's great, I'm sure you're still healthy and healthy."

Xu Jiawen looked at her and lost his mind for a moment.

"What's wrong with you?" Mu Mu saw that he was staring at her motionless, and stretched out her hand to block his sight.

He reacted and turned his head in embarrassment, "It's nothing."

Mu Mu likes rain very much, and her body has always been very good, so she never has the habit of carrying an umbrella. When it rains, she will walk home slowly in the rain. The rain hits her body and feels like it can be washed away All the bad things, those who are unhappy and don't want to remember, can be returned to the dust with the rain, and both the body and the mind can become clean and clear.After the heavy rain in this world, even the air becomes extraordinarily fresh.

During the last class, the weather suddenly changed, and the originally clear sky began to rain heavily. Many people were distracted and looked out the window, worrying about how to go back.Mu Mu was happy, because it hadn't rained in Licheng for several weeks, and the whole city seemed very dull.

"Take this." After school, she packed up her books excitedly, and was about to walk into the rain. Ding Chu ran over and stuffed an umbrella for her, "Don't get caught in the rain, you'll catch a cold." After finishing speaking, he didn't Not in a hurry to go, standing still seemed to be waiting for her to answer.

Mu Mu looked at the umbrella in his hand, he should have just borrowed it from a classmate, no wonder he ran out in a hurry after class.He has something to do with the student union today, so he can't go home with her. "Well." She knew that if she didn't agree, he wouldn't let her go.

Ding Chuyi smiled, seemingly satisfied with her obedience, "I'll bring you something delicious when I go home." After speaking, he turned and ran to the office building of the student union in the rain.

Mu Mu held an umbrella and walked slowly on the road, stretching out her hand to catch the rainwater from time to time, the water splashed around along the rotating umbrella handle, little splashes scattered, it was a childish game, but she had a great time playing it alone.

"Wow—woof—" Following the slight barking of the dog, she pushed aside the grass on the side of the road, and saw a small green box with a small white dog sticking out its head from the mouth of the box. There is a light yellow pattern in a circle, which looks extra cute.

Mu Mu hesitated for a while, but walked over to pick up the puppy. As expected, the puppy barked even more when it saw her, and shrank its body into the box desperately. Full of panic and restlessness, she frightened it.Mu Mu never liked small animals since she was a child, she always scares the docile ones, and the fierce ones always frighten her, and this vicious cycle continues, Mu Mu retreats reflexively when he sees small animals.

The box was made of paper, and it was already very wet from the rain. Mu Mu could clearly feel the puppy shivering from the cold, so she opened the umbrella on the side of the box, "I hope someone with good intentions can pick you up." go back."

That night, Mu Mu developed a high fever.

Aunt Su was in such a hurry that she found several doctors at home before she was relieved. Ding Chuyi kept a dark face on the bedside and wiped her face to cool down. Mu Mu knew that he was angry and wanted to apologize but found that the throat It was as dry as a fire, and I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't speak a word.

I don't know how long it has passed in a daze, one hand gently raised her head, and the cool water slowly flowed into her mouth, as if she had found a sweet spring in the barren desert, she couldn't help but want to prop up her body as much as possible. Wanting to lean towards the cup, "Don't worry, drink slowly."

She opened her eyes slightly, and saw a face vaguely, she couldn't make out the outline clearly, but she knew it was Ye Tianche who had come.

She felt that she had become so vulnerable. It was just a little rain. Why did it get so serious? The whole body was burned uncomfortably. It seems that the last injury really left a lot of trouble. Is my health bad? A little bit.

When she woke up again, it was already noon the next day, the weather was fine, and the bright sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains on her face, which was very warm. She rubbed her eyes, and felt herself slowly waking up after being in a trance for a while.

With a sound of "Hula", the entire curtain was pulled open, and Ye Tianche sat on the window sill with his arms folded, "Are you awake?"

Mu Mu thought that this person was really ghost-like, and he made no sound when he walked.

She lifted the quilt and walked to the window in her pajamas, taking a deep breath of enjoyment.

"Mu girl, can't you be more obedient?" He got straight to the point, and to be honest, his anger has subsided a lot after one night.

She turned her head slightly, smiled sweetly, and raised four fingers to promise, "Okay, I understand, I will definitely not get caught in the rain in the future."

Ye Tianche curled his lips and turned his head disapprovingly.

"But," Mu Mu rummaged through her pockets for a while, took out a pill from her pocket and handed it to Ye Tianche, tilting her head and asking, "What is this for?"

The young man's face turned pale in an instant, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab it, but he also found that doing so felt like he had no money in this place, so he had to change his gesture halfway, and took the pill to see it in a leisurely manner. After looking at it, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "This is an ordinary vitamin."

Mu Mu didn't really believe it, "But I've seen you secretly eating this in the kitchen several times, and you look uncomfortable." She said, her expression slowly becoming serious.

Ye Tianche laughed, and said the lie he had made up a long time ago, "Then you should have seen the bottle containing this medicine, isn't it a vitamin?"

That bottle is indeed a vitamin medicine bottle, but——she lowered her head, staring at her feet in a daze, "Since it's a vitamin, then I just have a cold, so it should be okay to eat." The pill was stuffed into his mouth, but Ye Tianche quickly snatched it away, and threw it out the window without any hassle.

"How can you take medicine indiscriminately." He lost his usual composure, his tone was obviously lacking in confidence, and even the hands hanging on both sides of his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

His reaction made Mu Mu's heart sink a little bit.
