Chapter 6 The Pliers of Life

Chapter 6 The Pliers of Life
[Unlucky thing, once it starts, it's like a snowball. 】

After suddenly cutting her hair short, Shen Mi found that there was no suitable dress in the closet.

She tossed through the closet and found that none of them matched short hair, so she was very frustrated. She used lipstick to draw a crying face on the mirror, which coincided with her own face. After another photo, it really fit with this hairstyle.

Shen Mi was amused by herself, and she sat on the bed to count the money. Although her hair was gone, she still gained a lot from this part-time job. The crew paid 3000 yuan in compensation, plus the 3000 yuan that Liu Beibei asked the actor to ask for, Putting it all together, Shen Mi is almost a million-dollar household. Thinking about it makes me happy, but thinking about it makes me sad.

Want to buy clothes?Seeing the hard-earned money, Shen Mi hesitated.

To be honest, the money was not enough for her to buy a dress.But if she didn't buy expensive ones and let her wear cheap ones that would shrink, pill and fade after one wash, she would rather wear old clothes.

Shen Mi put away the money.

Whenever she has the desire to spend money, she will use cooking to control it, because cooking is when she is most focused.

Shen Mi took out the tenderloin from the refrigerator and roasted some black pepper-flavored jerky.

Probably this is one of the reasons why all single girls are reluctant to cook. There will always be leftovers.

Shen Mi packed up these delicious jerky and sent them to Aunt Chang on the fifth floor.

The first time she was born, the second time she was acquainted, Aunt Chang's defense was different from the last meeting. This time she was overjoyed and invited Shen Mi into the house as a guest. After chatting for a while, Aunt Chang's daughter came back.

"Tingting, come on, let's get acquainted. This is Xiao Shen from upstairs."

Aunt Chang's daughter took off her shoes and put them on the shoe rack, her face looked tired, she didn't even look at Shen Mi, and said, "Mom, please, I've known strangers for a day, I don't want to talk anymore , my throat is full of smoke."

Aunt Chang put on a straight face: "You girl! Why are you so rude?"

Tingting went straight into her room and closed the door.

Aunt Chang was extremely embarrassed, and so was Shen Mi.

Aunt Chang said: "Xiao Shen, don't mind. My daughter, like me, works in the community. Tingting is in the community correction center. There are often probationers in her place. Psychological counseling is not easy to do. She Sometimes I get anxious."

"It's okay, Aunt Chang. It's normal to work very hard. Unlike me, I spend all day at home, so I naturally have leisure time."

Auntie Chang ate the jerky she gave her and said, "You can find a job if you have nothing to do. If you stay like this, your youth and energy will be wasted."

"There is no suitable one at the moment."

Aunt Chang said: "I see, the things you make are really good, and the cake last time was also very delicious. Why don't you find a job related to cooking?"

"Thank you, Auntie." Shen Mi bent her eyes and smiled, "Actually, I also want to find a job in this field, but I don't want to be a cook in the kitchen all day, I'm very busy and very tired."

"The job of a chef is really not suitable for you, but I have a job I want to introduce to you." Aunt Chang said.

One more friend and more paths, Shen Mi finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

Aunt Chang helped Shen Mi find a new job. The first thing Shen Mi thought of was to call Liu Beibei and ask him out for dinner. Liu Beibei readily agreed and asked her with a smile on purpose if she wanted to find Xiao Yi. He said "whatever" very reservedly, then hung up the phone with a smile.

Not long after, Xiao Yi's WeChat message came over: "Beizi said you want a treat?"

Shen Mi was coming back from shopping in the supermarket, carrying a lot of things, panting while going upstairs, when she heard the WeChat ring, she stopped in the corridor, seeing the message from him, she felt inexplicable joy in her heart.

"Yeah, I've found a new job. I'm afraid Brother Beizi will think that I have a problem with him because of what happened last time, so I want to treat him to a meal." After Shen Mi sent it, she hurriedly added, " Come too, I'll make foie gras jelly for you to eat."

Xiao Yi said: "I get off work late, wait for me."

"Okay." Shen Mi sent a foodie emoji.

As soon as she put away her mobile phone, Yang Yuxi called, with a somewhat displeased tone: "I heard that you want to make delicious food at home, but you didn't even call me?"

Shen Mi said: "You are too well-informed about this news, aren't you? This brother Beizi really doesn't miss the slightest chance to pick up girls."

"Heh, you don't even invite me to cook!"

"It's not in the same circle, why are you joining in the fun?" Shen Mi didn't want Yang Yuxi and Liu Beibei to have too much contact.

"Don't ask me to pull you down." Yang Yuxi immediately hung up Shen Mi's phone.

Shen Mi was wearing high heels and carrying a few shopping bags, she was already panting from exhaustion, she had to stop again at this moment and call Yang Yuxi.

"Yang Yuxi! How dare you hang up on my phone!"

"Why don't you dare, you bite me!"

"Xiaoxi," Shen Mi said earnestly, sweating, "Brother Beizi is really nice, but he is really not suitable for dating. I really think you are not in the same circle, so there is no need to call you. You Don't you have any friends who are not in the same circle as me? When you were playing together, did I get angry with you? "

Yang Yuxi suddenly fell silent.

Shen Mi thought that she was really angry, and thought that maybe she just wanted to eat the dishes she made, there was no need to make such a fuss, so she sighed and said, "Well, I really can't do anything about you, Shen Da. The chef is now solemnly and formally inviting Ms. Yang Yuxi to taste my cooking skills at home, is that all right?"

Yang Yuxi finally gained popularity on the other side, Shen Mi heard her take a breath and said: "Then I will show you some face!"

At six o'clock in the evening, before Xiao Yi arrived, Bei Zi and Yang Yuxi came early.Beizi drove a Porsche today, and he was tidied up like a human being. Yang Yuxi was also dressed as if attending a feast. The two of them had been playing backgammon in Shen Mi's bedroom, with teasing sounds, coquettish laughter, cajoling.

Shen Mi was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron like an old woman.

When Xiao Yi arrived, Shen Mi was wearing an apron with a bunny printed on it, and opened the door for him with a shovel.

Xiao Yi dressed casually, a simple white shirt, light blue jeans, and white cloth shoes, clean and handsome.In addition to holding a box of beer that Liu Beibei asked to buy, he also carried a barrel of vegetable oil and a bag of fruit in his hand.

Shen Mi laughed when she saw this posture, and felt that she would be sorry for his effort if she didn't give him a classic greeting: "Come when you say you want, what else do you want to bring?"

Xiao Yi put his things away and changed his shoes with the door frame: "I don't know what you need, so I just bought some at the supermarket."

Seeing how polite he was, Shen Mi lost her mind for a moment.

Twice when I saw him at Zhou's house, he took things. Shen Mi remembered that he was an orphan when he was very young, so, probably for him who was self-reliant too early, he was very sensitive to etiquette.

"Is it hot outside?" Shen Mi asked after returning to the kitchen to cook.

Xiao Yi glanced at the two people in the bedroom, and felt that it would be better for him to go to the kitchen: "The sun has set, and it's not so hot. Do you have any dishes to wash? I'll help you." He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt as he spoke. .

Xiao Yi was so tall that when he stood in the kitchen, there was only a few square meters, and he couldn't turn around in an instant.

"You are a guest, where can I let you wash the vegetables, go watch TV!"

"I don't watch TV." Xiao Yi said, picked up a basin, filled it with some water, chose lettuce and rapeseed, and put them under the faucet.

He is on the left, she is on the right, the kitchen is small, the oil fume is sucked into the range hood, and the aroma of food begins to permeate.

Holding the frying spoon, Shen Mi asked jokingly, "Are you tired after pretending to be a ghost all day to scare people?"

Xiao Yi picked up the lettuce with a serious face, and shook the water: "Don't mock my work."

"Dr. Laws, I apologize."

"I accept your apology, and next time I do it again, I will dissect you."

Joking with medical students is really serious.

"By the way, have you really dissected the corpse?" Shen Mi asked.

"When we are in anatomy class, we don't call it a corpse, but a general teacher."

"Oh." Shen Mi was very self-aware and didn't ask again.She is timid and has a big brain. She will deliberately avoid the word "corpse" when reading, let alone dissect. If we continue to chat, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

Seeing that she was honestly silent, Xiao Yi glanced at her, lowered his head to wash the vegetables, and asked selfishly, "Do you know the woman who died the worst in the world?"

"Should this fish be steamed or braised?"

Xiao Yi said: "After her death, she was donated by her husband to medical research for dissection, and she was cut into [-] pieces."

"It's better to steam it, steam it quickly."

"There are cross-sections of each piece of meat online, may I show you?"

"Xiao Yi!" Shen Mi stopped and stared at him fiercely.

Xiao Yi held back his laughter, stopped teasing her, and bent over to wash the vegetables.

Five dishes and one soup were served, and the four of them gathered together, drinking beer and eating vegetables, filling this deserted little house with excitement.

Yang Yuxi can chat and make friends, and soon became acquainted with Xiao Yi.Hearing that Xiao Yi was going to take the postgraduate entrance examination, he said enthusiastically: "I have the materials for the postgraduate entrance examination, which are quite accurate. My friend paid for it, do you want it?"

Shen Mi thought that people like Xiao Yi would not do such opportunistic things, but he thought about it and asked, "The electronic version?"

"Yeah, you want me to send it to you."

Xiao Yi said, "Thank you, I will leave you an email address."

"No problem!" Yang Yuxi smiled enthusiastically, Liu Beibei stretched out his wine glass and bumped it against her.

Liu Beibei asked Shen Mi: "Mimi, what kind of job did you find so happily?"

Shen Mi said formally: "Ahem, from now on I will also be a high-paying family!"

Xiao Yi took a sip of his wine: "Where do you work? The morgue?"

Shen Mi was so angry that she pushed him: "Xiao Yi! You're enough! I'm a coward and a big brain! I haven't even dared to watch ghost movies since I was a child! Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I ran back to the bed as if I was being hunted down! If you continue to do this I can't sleep at night again!"

Liu Beibei smirked and said, "It's okay! If you can't sleep, let Xiao Yi sleep with you!"

Yang Yuxi stared at Shen Mi, then at Xiao Yi.

Seeing her anxious and frightened appearance, Xiao Yi found it funny inexplicably, and expressed that he would not scare her anymore.

Shen Micai said: "Auntie Chang downstairs is a nice person. She works in the community. She said that there is a female editor-in-chief of a gourmet magazine in our community. She is retired and paralyzed at home. She has a nanny to take care of her. But what about the editor-in-chief?" , is a food critic with a very tricky taste and a bad temper. Her son hired a lot of aunts who cook for her and she is not used to it. Aunt Chang recommended me to try it. The monthly salary is five or six thousand!"

Yang Yuxi said: "That's not bad, just cook three meals, and I can earn more money than I can make money counters in the bank."

Liu Beibei asked, "Have you gone for an interview?"

Shen Mi's eyes sparkled, she nodded: "Passed!"

Xiao Yi asked: "Cook for a paralyzed patient with a bad temper, are you sure you can?"

Shen Mi said noncommittally: "What's wrong with that?"

Xiao Yi sneered.

Liu Beibei sighed and said, "Innocent honey, society is very complicated and cold."

Shen Mi curled her lips fearlessly: "No matter how cold it is, it's not as cold as Xiao Yi."

Xiao Yi took a bite of the fish: "I'm warming up."

这世界上有两种人,一种是闹钟定在7:00的,还有一种就是闹钟定在7:00、7:10、7:20、7:30的。

Obviously, Shen Mi is the latter.

On the first day of work, Shen Mi had to make breakfast for her master before eight o'clock, but because she drank some wine with everyone last night, overslept, and the alarm clock rang several times, she sat down on the bed like a corpse stand up.

Just in time for her to be late, Nie Yongheng called and said he wanted to visit her new home.

Shen Mi was embarrassed to refuse directly, and couldn't think of a tactful excuse for a while, so she could only say you come, I invite you to the restaurant downstairs for dinner.

Shen Mi's master's surname is Fang, which has the same surname as Jackie Chan. Seeing Shen Mi rushing in with a cold expression, Shen Mi greeted her, but Mrs. Fang ignored her and went directly in her high-end wheelchair imported from the United States. Sunbathing on the balcony.

Shen Mi hurried into the kitchen, and the nanny muttered while picking vegetables: "Xiao Shen, why are you late? You can't do this next time, Mrs. Fang has to eat breakfast on time. Although you only cook three meals, it is also for others. Part-time work is the same nature as mine. Young people should not stay in bed, especially girls, if they get married in the future, their in-laws will dislike them, so how can they please their husbands?"

Shen Mi felt very uncomfortable. She was the only child in the family, and she was the apple of her father's eye. When the teacher said a few words in school, she would be wronged to the point of crying, let alone being educated by a person she didn't know at all.

Shen Mi didn't want to pay attention to the nanny's whims, but she found out when she came to the interview on the first day that the nanny surnamed Zhou had a bad mouth and liked to point fingers at others.

But she didn't agree with what the nanny said, so she smiled and said: "Aunt Zhou, what age is this? Why do girls have to please their husbands? Why do they have to live by their mother-in-law's face? We have hands and feet to support ourselves, Men and women are equal!"

The nanny pouted: "I'm talking for your own good, just listen."

Shen Mi cut vegetables with a smile on her face, and said, "You don't pay me wages, why should I listen to your training?"

The nanny smiled, with an unnatural expression: "Miss Shen has a really sharp mouth, and you will suffer a lot when you marry into your husband's family!"

what with what!

Shen Mi didn't want to listen to her, so she ignored her.

The master with the iceberg face and the nanny with a broken mouth, this is Shen Mi's working environment, but fortunately, it is relatively easy, considering the salary, Shen Mi is satisfied.

After making breakfast, Shen Mi was basically free until 10:30 in the morning. She came out of Mrs. Fang's house. The weather was fine. She was about to go shopping in a nearby shopping mall. As soon as she left the gate of the community, she saw a shiny car The black car stopped at the door.

Few people drive this car in China, Shen Mi couldn't help but take a few more glances, it was during this time of stopping that Shen Mi heard someone call her name.

She followed the prestige and saw that three doors of that luxury car were opened at the same time, and Nie Yongheng got out of the car. He was very neatly dressed in a suit and leather shoes.In the back seat, two people in overalls also came down. They held a lot of clothes covered by high-end hoods, and stood behind Nie Yongheng in an orderly manner.

Shen Mi stood at the gate of the community in a daze, watching the scene, and suddenly remembered that she promised Nie Yongheng to have dinner together in the morning.

"Where are you going?" Nie Yongheng asked.

In order not to make him sad, Shen Mi told a little lie: "Ah, I want to treat you to dinner. I'll see if the nearby restaurants are full."

Shen Mi felt that she was extremely stupid. How could the restaurant be full in the early morning?

Nie Yongheng didn't expose her, and smiled: "I thought you would invite me to your house for dinner."

Shen Mi said subconsciously: "The house is too messy, I'm afraid you might dislike it."

"I don't dislike it." Nie Yongheng looked at her and said.

Shen Mi was startled again.

Everyone has reached the gate of the community, and this is the point. If Shen Mi doesn't invite people in, it will be unreasonable. In the end, she still brings Nie Yongheng into her den. Put things down and walk away tactfully.

Shen Mi looked at a lot of things on the table, as well as various exquisite gift boxes tied with bows, and asked, "Nie Yongheng, what are these?"

Nie Yongheng sat on her small plastic stool, looking taller, and smiled: "I don't know what gift to give you, so I sent someone to buy some clothes, skirts and shoes of your favorite brand. It's new for the season."

Shen Mi looked at these high-end gift boxes that were out of place in the room, and suddenly remembered yesterday.

Xiao Yi stood at the door, carrying a lot of things, including her favorite fruit, and vegetable oil necessary for home.

"I don't know what you need, so I just bought some at the supermarket." Xiao Yi said.

She could imagine Xiao Yi standing in a pile of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, thinking about what she would be lacking, and finally took out his wallet to pay the bill.

Shen Mi felt that she must be crazy, thinking of a bucket of soybean oil in the kitchen amidst a pile of high-heeled shoes of international brands!
"What are you thinking? You don't want me to take it all back, do you?" Nie Yongheng said.

"Huh? These things..."

"It's too expensive, you can't take it?" Nie Yongheng smiled, showing the signature smile of Chinese healthy teeth.

Shen Mi blinked her eyes, was gagged by his words, and said embarrassingly: "Nie Yongheng, you look like a young entrepreneur going to the countryside to condolences to the poor and lower-middle peasants."

Nie Yongheng let out a loud laugh: "Shen Mi, you are really interesting."

Shen Mi was in her own room, feeling restless like a guest, she poured a glass of lemonade for Nie Yongheng, and the two sat down at the dinner table.

Shen Mi said: "I remember when I was young, during the holidays, the scene I didn't like to watch the most was when adults gave me red envelopes. My dad and others were tearing up. When I grow up, I don't want to do this kind of thing the most. So, many I won’t talk anymore, I’ll just ask you, Nie Yongheng, what exactly do you want to do?”

Nie Yongheng didn't expect her to chat like this, he was stunned for a moment, then clasped his hands on the table, a bit like holding a meeting for the staff, and said calmly: "I'm afraid giving red envelopes is too vulgar, and I'm giving some gifts for housewarming. Is it the etiquette left by the elders?"

"Oh—" Shen Mi dragged her voice and nodded, "Alright then, I'll go get my family's gift account book right away, and when you have a wedding, I'll give you a gift in return."

Shen Mi said that she was about to get up, but he stopped her.

Shen Mi didn't move, she looked at him and raised her eyebrows.

He didn't speak, and Shen Mi didn't speak at all.

She was sitting opposite him, playing with her mobile phone leisurely, as if she had been giving him time.

Every time I turn on my phone, the first thing I do is to check WeChat and scroll through Moments. Unexpectedly, the first one is Zhou Xinyuan's status.

Zhou Xinyuan posted a picture of homemade food, saying: "I learned to make this foie gras jelly today."

The food in the photo is not as good-looking as Shen Mi's, but it can be seen that Zhou Xinyuan treats Xiao Yi with care.

Shen Mi suddenly got a little irritable, she quit Moments, removed Xiao Yi's top dialog box, and gently put her phone on the table.

She looked at Nie Yongheng, and Nie Yongheng also looked at her, until the atmosphere of silence was just right, Nie Yongheng picked up the lemonade glass and held it in his hand.

Clenching his fingers on the cup, Nie Yongheng's mouth was drawn into a tangled straight line, but in the end it evoked a magnanimous arc, and he said calmly, "I want to chase you."

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell hit her ear like a big gong!Shen Mi's body was shaken, she looked at Nie Yongheng who was full of serious eyes, her heart sank, she stood up and said, "I'll go and open the door."

"Okay." Nie Yongheng looked very calm.

The sentence "I want to chase you" just now seemed to be suspended above Shen Mi's head.

Which angel is outside the door to rescue?

"Miss Shen, are you at home? Hehe, these are sugar cakes baked by my mother. Let me bring them for you to taste."

The girl who was about the same age as Shen Mi standing outside the door was Tingting who embarrassed her at Aunt Chang's house that day.

Tingting seems to be in a good mood today, she is completely different from that tired and irritable girl that day, she is looking at Shen Mi with a smile, her eyes full of apology.

Shen Mi also smiled, and winked at her and said, "Didn't you say you want to go shopping with me in the afternoon? I'm going to work soon, after I finish cooking for Mrs. Fang, come find me again!"

Tingting blinked, originally wanted to apologize for the rudeness that day, but she didn't expect Shen Mi to say that, she looked past Shen Mi to the man behind her, that man had a strong aura and was incompatible with this place, Tingting is The psychology student reacted quickly, and immediately smiled and said, "Then hurry up! I'll go upstairs to find you in a while!"

Shen Mi breathed a sigh of relief!Agreed and closed the door.

Perhaps a person's aura has something to do with his status, Shen Mi felt that there was a statue of a god that would heat up behind him.

This is not the first time she heard Nie Yongheng confess his love, but every word of Nie Yongheng now is different from the obedient fat man in the past.

Shen Mi sat down again, poured herself a glass of water, and said in a steady tone: "After a few years, I was surprised and grateful to receive your confession again. When I was in school, I was ignorant and might hurt you I’m sorry for you, but despite the frivolous appearance, every word I say to you is responsible to you, I really don’t like fat people.”

Nie Yongheng seemed to have expected that she would decline, smiled, and asked: "Then what now?"

Shen Mi said: "Now I'm afraid I won't reject you with the hurtful tone that I used to say back then, but I still want to answer you seriously, I don't like it..."

"Don't like driving luxury cars? Don't like suits and leather shoes?" Nie Yongheng interrupted her, "Don't like men who give you shoes and skirts?"

Shen Mi was stunned by his question.

He is really different. When he doesn't want to give people a chance to speak, he will be aggressive, just like she treated him back then.

"Shen Mi, I'm so stupid."

"At first, I naively thought that you simply didn't like fat people." Nie Yongheng's mouth twitched, revealing a wry smile.

Shen Mi suddenly felt that perhaps the Nie Yongheng she knew was just a point, while the Shen Mi that Nie Yongheng knew was a line.

But what can be done?

There are a thousand reasons for not liking someone, but one is enough for liking someone.

"I'm sorry." Shen Mi still said firmly, but this time, she felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

Nie Yongheng stood up, the hurt expression on his face was gone, and he said gently: "You still have work and appointments later, so I won't bother you."

Shen Mi felt quite embarrassed, and got up to see him off: "Okay. Goodbye."

Just when Shen Mi felt that everything ended in such a straightforward manner, Nie Yongheng stood at the door and left a sentence: "Shen Mi, I don't accept the reason why you don't like me. You can think about other things."

He smiled and closed the door calmly.

At noon, I went to Mrs. Fang's for lunch. After returning, Shen Mi was in a bad mood. Nie Yongheng's hurt expression and his bright eyes when he finally left made her a little bit embarrassed.

Shen Mi couldn't vent this emotion, and she couldn't find anyone to confide in, let alone post in Moments, she was extremely depressed.

Shen Mi nestled on the sofa at home, thinking about Mrs. Fang's cold face scolding herself for making the dishes salty, even more depressed.

At this moment, the doorbell rang again, Shen Mi looked out from the peephole, it was Tingting from Aunt Chang's house downstairs.

"Hello." Tingting greeted, "It's time, let's go shopping together?" Saying that, she looked into the room.

Shen Mi smiled knowingly, and invited her into the room: "I'm leaving, thank you for cooperating with me in acting."

Tingting is just an ordinary girl next door, but she is quite pleasing to the eye. After chatting for a while, the two girls of similar age seem to be inexplicably in harmony.

"What's the matter, I found you embarrassed just now, maybe you can tell me what difficulties you encountered." Tingting's voice was extremely gentle, and she assumed the posture of a good listener.

"Are you studying psychology?" Shen Mi smiled and poured her a glass of water.

"I work in a community correction center, and I have to chat with a lot of prisoners every day, not one of you is missing."

Shen Mi almost spit out a mouthful of water.

Shen Mi has been particularly unlucky these two days, always being scolded by Mrs. Fang, saying that she cooks salty food.The more she was scolded, the more nervous Shen Mi became, and she almost lost confidence in her cooking skills in the end, so she hurried home and made a dish for Tingting downstairs to taste.

"It's delicious! It's not salty at all." Tingting just got off work from the community correction center, and before putting down her briefcase, she ran upstairs to taste her food.

Shen Mi said distressedly: "Then why? Mrs. Fang always said that my cooking was salty, but later I put less salt, and she still said it was salty."

Tingting thought for a while: "Next time, try without salt."

Shen Mi is not so bold, if you don't put salt, Mrs. Fang will scold you.

So Shen Mi thought of a compromise, and set the recipe for the next day as noodles with shredded mustard greens and fennel.

Shredded mustard greens have a salty taste in themselves. Use shredded mustard greens with old soup, cook for a longer time, no need to add salt, and the noodles will not be bland.

Shen Mi went to Mrs. Fang's house at noon the next day, and the nanny was mopping the floor. Seeing her coming, she glanced at her.

Shen Mi opened the refrigerator, searched and found no fennel, so she asked: "Aunt Zhou, my recipe is to make fennel noodles, didn't you buy fennel?"

The nanny said: "There is no one selling fennel around here. Where can I buy it? If you can buy it, you can buy it yourself!"

Shen Mi felt that her words had a smell of gunpowder, so she couldn't help pouting her mouth, a little blocked.

Buy it yourself, buy it yourself, Mrs. Fang is still sleeping anyway.

The supermarket in the community did not sell fennel, so Shen Mi got on the bus and was going to go to a big supermarket two stops away to have a look.

The car was a bit crowded, Shen Mi moved to the car door wearing thin strappy sandals, and beside her was a student-looking girl carrying a suitcase, who seemed to be traveling from other places.

Shen Mi stood by the door, holding on to the handrail, thinking about the nanny's attitude towards her just now.She definitely doesn't like herself, so she is always scolded for cooking these days, does it have something to do with the nanny?

Thinking of this, Shen Mi couldn't help feeling chills down her spine.

The bus stopped, the back door opened, people getting off the bus passed by Shen Mi one after another, she clenched the handrail to stabilize her body.

The female student put the suitcase in front of her feet, and someone pushed Shen Mi behind her.

"Don't block the door if you don't get out of the car!"

Shen Mi smiled embarrassingly, but did not move: "Do you think there is room to stand in this car?"

The people behind didn't speak anymore.

After another stop, the rear door opened, and the female student's suitcase was suddenly pushed against by the door, with a "bang", the suitcase hit Shen Mi's toes hard!
Shen Mi felt a dull pain coming from her toes, and the pain disappeared quickly.She felt something was wrong, and looked down——suddenly, her scalp went numb!
The toenail of her right big toe was lifted!
Her toenails have been manicured and are a beautiful matcha green. At this moment, they are in a vertical state, the tender flesh under the nails is exposed, and a huge drop of blood emerges from the torn wound on the side of the finger.

Shen Mi was frightened and stupid at that time, with a "buzz" in her head, she subconsciously bent down and pressed down the raised toenail again, she didn't feel any pain, but tremblingly shouted in the direction of the front of the car: "Master!" Open the door!"

The car door opened again, Shen Mi limped off the bus, moved to the flower bed by the road and sat down, held up her right foot, touched the toenails that were already floating on the surface with her hand, and took a deep breath .

"My God!"

The blood on the toes kept oozing out, already staining a little bit of her shoes red, Shen Mi didn't dare to move, she stared straight at her injured feet.

After a while, she realized that this was not a dream, she was injured and bled a lot.

Shen Mi was terrified, she took out her mobile phone tremblingly, called Yang Yuxi, and the line was busy.The second thing she thought of was Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi should be having lunch at this time, and he picked up the phone soon.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yi's cold voice came.

Shen Mi remembered the last time when she frightened Liu Beibei and Xiao Yi by making a fuss and bluffing because of her hair cut, this time, she suppressed the fear in her heart and whispered: "Xiao Yi, I, I am here. A little bit of trouble, can you, can you come pick me up..."

Xiao Yi paused for a few seconds and asked, "Where are you?"

Shen Mi looked at the location on the bus stop sign and reported the location.

"Are you injured?" Xiao Yi's judgment was accurate.

Shen Mi quickly said: "A small situation, very small."

"Wait for me five minutes."

As expected, Xiao Yi arrived within 15 minutes. He got out of the taxi, and the car stopped on the side of the road without letting the driver go.

He walked up to Shen Mi who was sitting on the flower bed and didn't dare to move. When he lowered his head, he saw blood on her sandals: "What's the matter?"

Shen Mi looked at him, then at the noon sun, and said, "You didn't open an umbrella?"

Xiao Yi frowned: "What happened to your feet?"

Shen Mi replied: "The bus door hit a person's suitcase, and the suitcase hit my foot, and my toenails were lifted."

Xiao Yi's brows frowned even tighter: "Is it all up?"

"It's all up."

"Let me take a look." Xiao Yi squatted down and looked at her injury, "The nail is still attached to the flesh, it probably needs to be pulled out."

"Ah?" The thing Shen Mi was most afraid of happened, "Perhaps, perhaps there is no need to pull it out?"

Xiao Yi looked at her little face that was already pale with fright, and stood up: "Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital first."

Shen Mi hesitated, not daring to move: "Just get in that taxi, shall we?"

"Well, can I help you?"

"No, no, no!" Shen Mi waved her hand, like a frightened little animal, not allowing anyone to touch it.

She stood up, moved her right foot, and there was a tinge of pain from her nails. In fact, it didn't hurt much, like being pricked by a needle, but she was still too scared to move, and moved slowly. .

For a full 30 seconds, she only walked two steps away. She felt as if she hadn't eaten for three days. Her nose was full of sweat and her whole body was in a state of hypoglycemia.

Xiao Yi asked, "Does it hurt?"

Shen Mi shook her head: "It doesn't hurt."

"Does it hurt you to walk so slowly?"

"You don't understand, and your toenails haven't been lifted."

Maybe she is too delicate?But at this moment, she was really terrified!She has never been injured since she was a child, and now she keeps thinking about the scene where her toenails were lifted to reveal the tender flesh just now, she is going crazy!

Xiao Yi followed her, but didn't dare to help her, and asked, "How about I hug you?"

Shen Mi quickly waved her hands, moving slowly, her toes felt a little pain from time to time because of her walking: "No, no, don't touch me, don't touch me. Let me go by myself."

She lived for more than 20 years without knowing that one toe played such a big role in walking. Almost every step she took, her thumb would move along with it, and the wound would be excruciatingly painful.

However, Xiao Yi didn't seem to be that patient.

"Don't be brave if you can't walk." He was about to help her arm as he said.

"Don't touch me!" Shen Mi got a little angry!

In fact, she was angry with herself!

If it wasn't for this job, if it wasn't for being bullied by the nanny, would she have been hurt?

Now that things have happened, she only hates that she shouldn't get angry with the nanny and insist on buying some fennel.

Bad luck, once it starts, it's like a snowball.

Xiao Yi was taken aback by her sudden outburst, then he frowned, and hugged her up involuntarily.

Shen Mi was startled, but she didn't dare to struggle, so she could only nestle in his arms and say, "Xiao Yi! I told you not to hug me!"

Xiao Yi kept a straight face, completely ignoring her little emotions, put his warm palms on her waist, and said impatiently: "Who wants to hug you, taxis are charged when they wait."

After Shen Mi was shoved into a taxi by Xiao Yi, she received a call from Yang Yuxi.

"Mimi, are you on the phone? What's the matter?"

Shen Mi's face was still pale, but she was calm and said, "My toe is hurt."

"Ah? Is it serious?"

"It's not serious, but I think I'll go to the hospital for a bandage, and maybe a few injections."

Yang Yuxi said: "Do you still need an injection? There must be bleeding from the wound! You are most afraid of injections!"

Shen Mi glanced at Xiao Yi who was on the phone, and said to the phone: "Not only do you need an injection, but you also need to pull out your toenails."

"Mimi, let me accompany you, wait for me for a while."

Arriving at the first courtyard of University B, Shen Mi got out of the car, still acting like an old man on the verge of death, but this time, Xiao Yi didn't give her another princess hug, but patted her on the shoulder to let her walk slowly, He is in the hospital.

Shen Mi rolled her eyes at his leaving back, he really felt sorry for the taxi's waiting time.

A patient whose entire leg was wrapped in bandages passed by him much faster than her.

In fact, the toes didn't feel much pain, the blood had dried up and scabbed. The reason why she moved so slowly was because fear outweighed the pain.

After finally moving into the hospital gate, Shen Mi saw Xiao Yi coming towards her.

"Have you registered?" Shen Mi asked.

"Don't hang up, my classmate." He held her arm naturally, and stroked her waist with the other hand, sharing half of the weight she was supporting so hard.

The trauma treatment room is next to the registration office on the first floor. A black foreigner and an injured old lady are sitting outside the door, all looking at her.

"Go in." Xiao Yi said.

Shen Mi was helped into the consulting room by Xiao Yi.

The doctor is Xiao Yi's classmate, but he looks much older than Xiao Yi.Shen Mi didn't know that when Xiao Yi was in elementary school, he skipped three grades because of the Math Olympiad competition.Later, from junior high school to university, he was the youngest among his classmates. This college classmate is already 30 years old.

The doctor wore gold-rimmed glasses and was sitting in front of the computer desk. When he saw Xiao Yi supporting Shen Mi, there was an ambiguous smile on his lips, but it was quickly replaced by a serious, business-like face.

Xiao Yi helped Shen Mi to sit down on a chair in the consulting room, and the doctor walked up to her and said, "Is your toenail injured? Let me take a look."

Shen Mi was inexplicably nervous, and quickly said: "It doesn't hurt, just a little blood."

The doctor said, "If it doesn't hurt, I have to pull it out. Isn't it all up?" Then he turned and went to get something from the shelf.

Shen Mi saw that the shelf was full of disposable tweezers, plates, gauze, and disinfectant.She hurriedly looked at Xiao Yi as if asking for help.

For some reason, Xiao Yi was sitting in this hospital, just like these doctors, with a cold and serious face, only missing a white coat.

"Listen to the doctor." Xiao Yi looked at her and said.

Shen Mi panicked all of a sudden, and immediately felt that Xiao Yi was not handsome at all.

Although Xiao Yi had already reminded her that she might pull out her toenails, Shen Mi still took chances, and now she couldn't sit still.

"Doctor, I heard that pulling out toenails hurts, and the ten fingers are connected to the heart. Do you need to give me an injection of anesthesia?"

"Anaesthetic?" The doctor let out a smirk, then turned to Xiao Yi and asked, "Fourth brother, your girlfriend needs anesthetic."

"What kind of anesthetic?" Xiao Yi's voice was slightly displeased.

The doctor turned around and looked at Shen Mi, feeling that Xiao Yi did not deny his "girlfriend" at all, so a smile appeared on his face: "I have to pull out a lot of nails every day, you are like this, the toenails have all fallen off Now, there is only one side connected to the meat, so there is no need for anesthesia." He raised his finger to the inner room of the examination room, "Go and sit over there."

Shen Mi moved over silently and sat down on a chair.

The doctor followed, holding a disposable tool in his hand, and said, "Put your feet on it."

In front of Shen Mi was a piece of wood that was as high as a chair. The shape of the wood was in the shape of "工", and there was a curved groove on the top of the "工" character, which was convenient for the patient to put his feet on. The wood was originally brushed. It was painted white, but it was already stained with dense dried blood.

Shen Mi's whole body is not well, and she somehow thinks of the torture rack used by the criminals on TV, which is also covered with blood.

How many people have experienced pain on this?
"Huh?" The doctor motioned her to put her foot on it with his eyes.

Shen Mi looked at his serious face, then looked at the small room, took a deep breath, and could only be manipulated like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

She felt very uncomfortable in her heart, her palms were soaked by fear, and her whole body was cold. If her father was here or Yang Yuxi was here, she would have to fight and toss. mood.

But there was no one around her who allowed her to cry. Instead, she became honest and calm, holding her fear and grievances in her throat and eye sockets, and looked at the doctor timidly.

The doctor tore open the plastic bag of the disposable tool, took out the tweezers, dipped the cotton in iodine, and painted around Shen Mi's toes.

Shen Mi's toes were immediately covered with brick-red iodine, and it hurt a little. For those who are afraid of injections, the coolness of alcohol rubbed on the skin will make people feel scared in advance.

Shen Mi finally couldn't help it, she gasped twice and choked up a sob.

The doctor was taken aback and looked up at her.

Shen Mi bit her lip, her eyes were filled with tears, and when she found the doctor looking at her, she obediently restored her lips to their normal state.

The corner of the doctor's mouth twitched, he stood up straight and shouted outside: "Fourth, come in quickly."

Footsteps sounded, Xiao Yi opened the curtain and stood at the door, asking, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yi was asking Shen Mi.

With tears in her eyes, Shen Mi shook her head.

She didn't want Xiao Yi to see her lose her composure.

But the doctor said: "Look at it, it's frightening, and you don't come to accompany me."

Xiao Yi sighed, walked in, dragged a plastic stool, and sat casually opposite Shen Mi.

"Don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt." Xiao Yi's brows raised a sincere arc.

Ghosts believe it!

With tears in her eyes, Shen Mi said irritably, "Go out! Don't look at me!"

Xiao Yi pointed to the doctor with his slender fingers, and said, "I'm here, he will be more agile."

"Why?" Shen Mi asked.

The doctor smiled, as if he was recalling some interesting past events: "The fourth child is our school bully, how dare you show your eyes in front of your old classmates? Don't worry, I'll take care of you."

Seeing that he was about to make a move, Shen Mi quickly closed her eyes.She just closed it but opened it again. After all, she was worried, but she didn't dare to watch her toenails being pulled out with her own eyes. She was conflicted and frightened for a moment, and her lips were already red from being bitten.

"Be patient!" The doctor put on his gloves, bent down, and clamped the edges of her nails with tweezers.

A slight movement made Shen Mi feel extremely uncomfortable, she couldn't help whimpering, and her entire shoulder shrank upwards.

Seeing her expression, Xiao Yi suddenly frowned.

The doctor's tweezers began to slowly tear at her toenails, the excruciating pain of flesh and blood separation almost made Shen Mi want to die.

"Woo..." She let out a sound, her lips began to tremble, and the tears that had accumulated in her eyes finally rolled down in big ones.

Her appearance is really distressing.

Shen Miduo hoped that the doctor would give her a good time, but the doctor was very serious, while looking at the wound, he carefully pulled it out, his movements were slow and skillful.

Every second became a form of torture.

Shen Mi finally cried aloud, and the small room was filled with her suppressed and heart-wrenching weeping.

Like a boat lifted up by huge waves in a storm, the pain in her toes seemed to penetrate into her heart along her blood vessels, making her liver and gallbladder tremble with pain. She took it into her arms.

Shen Mi seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw, or found a safe haven for docking, and immediately cried and grabbed the man's clothes, wrapping her arms around his waist.

His temperature came through the thin fabric, and the strong abdominal muscles unique to young men were close to her cheeks. Shen Mi buried her face in his arms and cried wantonly.

With a hug in a daze, she felt the blessing and support that only her deceased father could give her.

"Ding Dong—" the sound of tweezers falling into the iron plate.

everything is over.

Shen Mi regained consciousness, she slowly opened her eyes, and found that she was hugging Xiao Yi's waist tightly.She suddenly felt that she was too gaffe and coquettish, so she let go of her hand quickly.

However, Xiao Yi suddenly held down the head that she wanted to move away, and patted it very gently, like treating a wounded kitten.

"Okay, it's over."

Shen Mi's neck was pressed against his waist stiffly, and she suddenly felt that everything was really over like this.She lusted after him for a moment before she felt that it was inappropriate to be ambiguous. She gently pushed him away from his embrace and wiped away her tears.

"It's okay. It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt at all. Talking about fingers connected to a heart is scaring people." Her voice was a little trembling, and there was strength in her weakness.

Xiao Yi dusted off his shirt, retreated to the chair and sat down, said with a light smile, "It doesn't hurt, doesn't it hurt, are you crying like a pig?"

Shen Mi glared at him.

The doctor shook his head and smiled, wrapped Shen Mi with gauze, and said: "Without toenails, this part of the flesh will be very sensitive, now I will wrap you with gauze, you will feel a little pain, and you will not be used to walking. Tomorrow It will be much better in the future. Don’t get wet, and change the medicine once a day.”

"Well. How long does it take to grow?"

"At least three months."

"Oh."

"Fourth brother, follow me to get the medicine." The doctor said to Xiao Yi.

"Wait here for me." Xiao Yi stood up, said to her, and went out with the doctor.

Du Rui and Xiao Yi walked side by side in the emergency room of the hospital.

"Why do you still look like a piece of fresh meat, but I already have crow's feet?" Du Rui joked, "It seems that the profession of a doctor is really exhausting! What? When are you going to come back and accompany me to provide medical treatment for the motherland?" Career contributes to the young body?"

Du Rui was Xiao Yi's close buddy in college, and the four of them often got together at that time.

The boss is called Chi Mu, and he is a top student.

The second child is called Liu Bai, and he is a handsome guy.

The third child is Du Rui, a romantic figure.

The fourth child is Xiao Yi, who is three years younger than them. He is a handsome man with good grades.

Xiao Yi watched the changes in the hospital while walking, and said, "What do you do with you when you come back? Pull out the little girl's nails every day?"

Du Rui snorted: "Don't tell me, there are many girls whose nails were pulled out by me, but none of them cried as poignantly as yours! Tsk tsk tsk! Poor and charming."

"Pervert." Xiao Yi stopped at the window for getting the medicine, and handed in the form.

Du Rui greeted happily with the little nurses at the medicine collection office, leaning half of his body on the marble table by the window, staring at Xiao Yi who was seriously waiting for the medicine with an inquiring and playful face.

"Don't say it's not your girlfriend, I can see it!"

Xiao Yi picked up the medicine box from the window, stacked it habitually, and put it in a bag.
