piecing together the soul

Chapter 88 Chapter 53

Leave me alone?
I didn't dare to shake it hard, because this kind of biting situation must be the tighter the more you shake it.A light suddenly flashed in my mind, as if as long as I put it in the water, it would let go and swim away by itself.

The fish tank was a bit shallow, so I had no choice but to run to the bathroom and put my hands into the basin with water.After a few seconds, it really let go of its mouth.

There was already a blister on my hand, but now it has been bitten open, and blood and water in the blister flowed out. The pain made me grin my teeth. I had to wash it with water first, and then go to something like iodine to eliminate it. Disinfect to prevent infection.

After painting, I put on rubber gloves, picked the turtle out of the basin, and put it back into the fish tank.This tortoise is strange enough, isn't it even scary when you see me?Actually, as I thought, I took a bite!

After taking off the gloves, I looked at the bitten index finger, and the more I looked at it, the more painful it became.

"Master Guo." Master Xu called me, "Are you okay?"

Are you embarrassed to ask?I said, "What's the matter, broken tortoise, not poisonous or rabies, can a cold-blooded animal bite me to death?"

I think my resentment is already obvious, Master Xu should say a few nice words to appease me, right?But he didn't at all, instead he walked over with the vibrating phone and said, "Old Wang is calling again, do you want to answer it?"

Maybe the pain in my hand made me sober, I stretched out my uninjured left hand to take the phone, and swiped to answer it.

"Why did you answer the phone?" His voice was unprecedentedly calm, which was more terrifying than anger.

I calmed down and said calmly: "I know why you called. I didn't know what to say just now, so I didn't answer."

"So, you and Xu Xiaohan are real?"

"No." I replied, "It's not like you don't know that he doesn't like women."

"What is it that keeps you from speaking?" He said, "You two have been together recently. You were at his house a few days ago, and now he is at your house. You have something to hide from me."

What did I say!He guessed it all!I really wanted to explain everything to him, but reason kept telling me not to.

"I...we, indeed, have something to hide from you, but it's not what he f***ingly said." I still lied subconsciously, "He did that because there are girls who like him, and he wants to make people stop thinking about him." .I just help him."

"Don't talk nonsense." Lao Wang said, "When will you change your nonsense? Girls who chased him never stopped, and they didn't say it sooner or later, but why did they do it at this time?"

Sure enough, he dismissed it with one sentence, and he continued: "What is it, is it related to that subway or something?"

Oh my god, hit again!I really wanted to say it in the way I discussed with Master Xu before, but I just couldn't open my mouth.what do i say?How could I have the nerve to ask him if he would wait for me to explain later?Besides, I'm really not sure if I can make him wait for that explanation...

Master Xu has been watching from the side. Seeing that our conversation froze, he snatched the phone, turned on the speaker, and said, "Old Wang, I'm Xu Xiaohan."

"It's you, it seems that my guess is all right." Hearing Lao Wang's words, I can almost imagine his sneer.

"Recently, Mr. Guo did have some troubles, and so did I, but our affairs are completely unrelated. I left Beijing and came to her house just to avoid the limelight."

"And then?" Old Wang asked, "I don't care about your affairs, but what about hers? Can she tell you, but not me?"

Master Xu hesitated for half a minute, and finally said: "She didn't tell you, it was to protect you."

"I'm a man, what do I want her to protect? It's right for me to protect her!" Old Wang finally got a little angry, "She won't tell me anything, so what's the use of me?"

Hearing him say this, I couldn't help crying again.The reason why I always think Brother Xiu treats me better is because he saved my life and Lao Wang didn't, but at the moment I think it's just because Lao Wang and I haven't encountered that kind of thing. , he will also risk his life to save me.

"Things will come to an end one day," Master Xu remained calm as a third party, "Master Guo will personally explain to you when it ends."

Lao Wang suddenly lost his voice, and I seemed to feel his hesitation.What is he hesitating about?It's all said like that, but you can't even wait for a while?
After about 3 minutes, these 3 minutes seemed as long as three years to me. Finally, he sighed over there and said, "Okay, I'll just wait."

I was really disappointed, tears came down again after hearing what he said.

"Okay." Master Xu said, "Man, Master Guo really saw you right."

Lao Wang said: "When she was 17 years old, I made her wait for a year. Now I wait for her, and I should."

Hearing him mention his senior year in high school, I almost burst into tears. Yes, I liked him very much that year. He tested me for a year. The kind of youthful days that always cared about him and paid attention to him, once gone Not returning, but unforgettable.After he mentioned it, the feeling of liking suddenly came back. In fact, this feeling has always been there, but it has been a little longer, and it is not so strong when it is spread every day.

Master Xu also smiled when he saw this: "Okay, she will tell you a few more words."

I answered the phone, choked up and speechless.

Lao Wang heard that I was crying, and finally smiled, his tone was very gentle: "What's wrong? Are you wronged? I was too fierce just now, don't be sad."
