"It's fine, it's nothing serious." Zhi Ying pursed her lips and smiled slightly, even though she still felt a faint pain in her knee just now.
"Here, eat some candy." Han Jiaojiao took apart the QQ candy that Zhao Qian had left for her, fed one to Zhi Ying, and comforted her, "Sweet mouth, sweet heart."
…
Zhi Ying had on many layers of thick clothing, so Zhi Ying didn't check her knees during the day. At night, after returning home and taking a shower, Zhi Ying sat on the bed and found that her knee had turned purplish or even a bit black.
"Om—"
The phone on the bedside table vibrated, and Zhi Ying took it to see the caller:
[Future boyfriend]
"Are you asleep?" Jiang Wei's pleasant and clear voice came from the other end of the phone.
Zhi Ying shook her head, "Not yet."
Jiang Wei gazed up at the windows on the seventh floor where the lights were still on while asking, "Does your knee still hurt?"
Zhi Ying looked down at the scary big bruise on her knee and denied it, "No, it doesn't hurt."
Her tone was too decisive, making Jiang Wei sigh, "You didn't apply the medicine, did you?"
Zhi Ying was at a loss for words, unable to understand how he knew. When they came back together, Jiang Wei reminded her to apply the medicine. At that time, he asked if she had any medicine at home. She promised that she had it at home, and she would apply it when she got home.
But when she came back, she remembered that her parents had been away for business for the past several days, and Zhi Ying didn't know where the medicine was kept at home. She didn't want to call and trouble her parents, so she didn't apply the medicine and did her homework in the living room for a while instead.
"I bought the medicine, open the door for me later," Fu chian said, walking upstairs while holding his phone, "I'll deliver it."
As soon as he came home from the evening self-study, Jiang Wei couldn't help calling Lin Xiuyu after sitting for a moment. He insinuated that Zhi Ying had injured her knee, and reminded them to apply medicine for Zhi Ying.
Lin Xiuyu was taken aback, but she was not in Quan city so she couldn't do anything.
"Is Ying Ying's injury serious? She didn't call us to let us know." Lin Xiuyu was anxious, "I haven't had time to change the medicine at home that expired last time."
"Don't worry, her knee just hit the table, there is no blood, but there should be bruises." Jiang Wei curled his fingers, but his voice was still calm as he comforted Lin Xiuyu on the other side.
"That child has been like this ever since she was a child, she never takes care of herself well. Sometimes she doesn't even know when she's injured." Lin Xiuyu complained, but there was an unconcealable distress in her tone.
"Do you think it could be done like this? I still have some medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis." Jiang Wei calmly said with downcast eyes, "I'll deliver it to Zhi Ying."
Lin Xiuyu hesitated for a moment, "Will it trouble you too much, Xiao Wei?"
Jiang Wei immediately replied, "No trouble at all, our two families are not far away, just a few steps away."
Lin Xiuyu also knew about Jiang Wei moving to this neighborhood too, and after thinking about it, she could only agree.
"When you get there, help me remind Ying Ying to take care of herself." Lin Xiuyu was now abroad, and she had business conferences soon. She really had no time to make phone calls.
Jiang Wei agreed, put on his overcoat, found several bottles of medicinal oil, and prepared to go out.
"Young master, where are you going so late?" Uncle Li came out when he heard the sound. He looked in surprise at Jiang Wei, who was fully dressed and looked like he was about to head out.
"Uncle Li, I'm going out for a while." Jiang Wei straightened his collar.
"It's so late, young master, deal with those matters tomorrow." Uncle Li dissuaded, "Or should I help you?"
"No need, Uncle Li, go to bed early." Jiang Wei said while carrying the packaged medicinal oil, "I'll be right back."
Although Uncle Li was sent to take care of Jiang Wei, since childhood no one dared to refute Jiang Wei. Uncle Li could only watch helplessly as the young master went out in the cold wind.
Zhi Ying subconsciously moved to the window and looked down.
"You already arrived?" Zhi Ying asked in a daze.
"Mhm, I'm going upstairs now, can you open the door later?" Jiang Wei's voice was low and soft, as if he was coaxing a child.
Zhi Ying tried to take two steps, but her brows and eyes frowned suddenly, as if the sequelae of her knee just came out now.
She was only wearing a pajama shirt and pajama pants, she was just planning to go to sleep.
Jiang Wei didn't hang up the phone, and his clear breathing was passed between the phones. Zhi Ying found a piece of clothing from the hanger and put it on, barely wrapped it up and walked out to the living room.
"Does your knee hurt?" Jiang Wei seemed to hear the sound of her limping, and suddenly became nervous.
"It's okay." Zhi Ying shook her head and tried to deny it, subconsciously straightening her legs, but she didn't know that the other party couldn't even see her movements.
Perhaps the house was too empty, or the night was too quiet, but the sound of Zhi Ying's walking could be heard clearly in Jiang Wei's ears.
"Zhi Ying." Jiang Wei called.
"Huh?" Zhi Ying responded obediently, and had already walked through the living room.
"Walk slowly, don't hurt yourself." Jiang Wei cautioned in a deep voice, "Be careful."
"Oh." Zhi Ying walked to the door, "I'll wait for you at the gate."
One minute later.
"I'm here." Jiang Wei was facing the door of the Zhi house, and whispered to Zhi Ying on the other end of the phone.
