Chapter 31

Xu Can installed the cabinet.

Tong Mingyue suddenly asked in a serious and warm voice, “Before renting the house, did you ask someone to read the contract for you?”

“No,” Xu Can said after thinking for a while, “but I have done a lot of homework and found no problem.”

Tong Mingyue was quiet for a few seconds, obviously thinking about whether to say something, and then asked tactfully, “How did you think of building such a house that was on fire.”

“The rent is cheap,” Xu Can’s eyes flashed with an innocent smile. “There’s nothing wrong with burning too much. The landlord said that the wiring and the like have been checked, and it’s safe. There’s no other place to say that the house is hot and prosperous.”

“Did the landlord tell you anything else?”

“What other… like?”

Tong Mingyue thought about whether she was obliged to inform before renting out the haunted house.

“It’s okay,” she said with a smile, “I live alone, are you afraid at night?”

“I’m not a child…”

Xu Can was reminded by her, thinking that if there is a chance to “discover” it is a haunted house in the future, he can be afraid.

…

It was very late, I was afraid that she would be very tired from the hard journey. After Xu Can installed the cabinet, he didn’t stay long, thinking about the future in Japan.

However, living in the opposite door is not to meet every day.

Xu Can stood on the balcony, looking down at Tong Mingyue who went out early.

While pouring two drops of water on Luluo, he murmured, “I’m not rude… If I’m really rude, I’ll go and bring back her garbage bag…”

Garbage bags are the easiest to sell a secret.

It’s a pity that Xu Can can’t be so idiotic. She has a lot of respect for Tong Mingyue in her bones.

Xu Can packed his things and went to see a good internship company for an interview.

The resume submission went smoothly, and the interview went smoothly. After HR asked her about her spare time, she arranged to work four days a week.

When I came back at night, I looked up at Tong Mingyue’s house downstairs.

With the lights on, she got home earlier than she did.

When Xu Can was taking a shower, he wondered what reasons he could find to see each other more often. He closed his eyes, and the hot water ran down his cheeks over the top of his head.

She reached for the shampoo on the shelf.

Elbow back, completely oblivious to how cramped the shower was standing, it was so wide that it hit the shelf.

With a hard “bang”, she felt all the shampoo, shower gel and the like on the shelf shake, but luckily it didn’t fall off.

Xu Can closed his eyes and hissed. The elbow hurts so much.

Carefully got the shampoo, squeezed twice to make bubbles and rubbed it on the hair. By the way, I rushed my elbow into the hot water, which was a little better.

After flushing out the bubbles, she opened her eyes and looked at her elbow, which was still aching, as if a hole had been broken.

The fixed stainless steel tripod was visibly new, with a silvery light around the edges.

Xu Can didn’t care, and avoided it when he only applied the shower gel.

When she finished washing, changed clothes, took out the hairdryer and stood in front of the mirror to dry her hair.

Looking through the mirror, I saw a faint red liquid on the inside of my left elbow.

Xu Can still didn’t react.

She was wearing a pink T-shirt, and for a moment thought the T-shirt had faded…

Press to turn on the light, and the cool light comes on.

Xu Can saw that the inside of the elbow was cut into a long slit, and the blood that slowly seeped mixed with the droplets of water that slipped from the hair, winding into several strands flowing on the arm.

She was a little surprised, turned off the hair dryer, and wanted to wipe the napkin first.

Walking to the study, she changed her mind again.

Turn around, go back to turn on the hair dryer, and blow hot air on the wound. The blood mixed with water droplets was quickly dried, and it dried into a few red blood marks, lining the white and tender skin and the red and swollen wounds, which looked a bit serious.

Xu Can grinned with satisfaction, looked in the mirror, and carefully arranged his hairstyle.

Grab the key, step on the slippers and go out.

—

When Xu Can knocked on the door.

Tong Mingyue was rushing for papers in the study and opened the door. I heard that she was asking if she had Band-Aids. Thinking it was a trivial matter, she directly told her to turn left about fifty meters downstairs. It was sold in the pharmacy.

Xu Can said with an “oh”, “Forget it, my wound may not be suitable for a Band-Aid.”

She raised her hand unconsciously and looked at the wound.

The skin on the inner side of the elbow was the fairest and tenderest. She was originally white, and the piece was almost transparent. It was red and swollen and was still bleeding slowly.

At first glance it even looks scary. very conspicuous.

Tong Mingyue held her wrist and paused, as if in disbelief: “I got it at home?”

Xu Can glanced at her, “Don’t be careful…”

“Aren’t you careful?”

Tong Mingyue frowned slightly, seeing that she had just finished taking a shower and her hair was still dry.

“You sit at my house for a while, and I’ll buy some iodophor gauze.”

“No need,” Xu Can didn’t feel that the injury was so serious that he had to wrap it with gauze, “…the gauze is too much trouble, and I can’t wrap one hand well. Just stick two more Band-Aids.”

Tong Mingyue glared at her: “I asked you to wait for me first, just to watch you bandage the wound with one hand later?”

Pick up the key from the cabinet in the hallway.

“Sit down and wait for me,” she said. “I’ll be right back.”

“Oh…”

Xu Can hesitated, and she let her in.

I watched her go downstairs to buy iodophor and gauze. Originally, I just wanted two Band-Aids and a coquettish one.

“…”

Xu Can pursed his lips, and the corners of his lips curled up.

Obediently sit at the small bar by the entrance and wait for her.

Looking around, I suddenly found that there were several bottles of drinks in the big white plastic bag on the stage. Tong Mingyue herself doesn’t drink much. Last time she came, there was only mineral water at home.

Xu Can stared at the familiar packaging.

She kept telling herself, don’t be too self-righteous… don’t be too self-willed, it should just be a coincidence. But the heartbeat still accelerated.

It was Qiu Wei’s wedding banquet, and she casually said her favorite juice drink.

…

Xu Can stared stupidly at the drinks in the shopping bag. I don’t know how long it took, but it should be soon, Tong Mingyue came back.

Carrying a small transparent bag with iodophor and sterile cotton swabs.

Put it lightly on the bar.

“Does the wound still hurt?”

Tong Mingyue took off the cotton swab first, and pulled her arm to take a closer look.

“It doesn’t hurt.”

“Disinfection will hurt.”

Xu Can pursed his lips and smiled: “It’s okay.” The voice was thin.

She lowered her eyelashes and her eyes fell on her hands.

Watch her unscrew the cap of the disinfectant potion.

Her hands are particularly beautiful, her fingers are slender and long with clear white knuckles, and her neatly trimmed round nails are ruby-red. The wrist is white, and the convex curvature reveals the right beauty.

These hands, I don’t want her to touch housework all my life.

Tong Mingyue took a cotton swab, first wiped off the blood around the wound, and then carefully applied iodophor for her, raised her eyes and asked, “Does it hurt?” The movements were as gentle as possible.

Xu Can shook his head silently.

In fact, it hurts, but this slight tingling was melted into her warm voice, and there was no movement or movement.

“How did you get hurt?”

“There was a stainless steel shelf in the bathroom that I accidentally bumped into.”

The iodine was applied quickly.

Tong Mingyue patiently wrapped the gauze, and instructed: “Be careful next time. You need to wrap this in plastic wrap, and then come to me to change it after the bath, you know.”

The two were very close, but unfortunately Xu Can’s nose was full of a faint smell of iodophor. Can’t smell her hair.

“…Um.”

Xu Can returned home.

Passing by the bathroom, I stood at the door and put my palms together, bent over the stainless steel shelf and swayed: “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” I was in a good mood.

See each other every day until the wound heals. How happy.

—

The next day, after taking a shower, I went to her to re-dress the wound.

Xu Can made some food and brought it to her as a late-night snack.

I went to the supermarket during the day, bought two bags of fresh ingredients, and thought about it for a long time, but in the end I didn’t make a good meal. Although Tong Mingyue does not usually avoid high-calorie foods, many women will pay attention to dieting at night.

The first time Xu Can made something for her, he would never step on thunder.

It took more than two hours, most of which was spent thinking. She counted the time, and before entering the bathroom, she almost prepared the things, which should be heated.

Xu Can was just a little higher than the stove, so he stood on the small bench and cooked for the family. He was very good at cooking, not nonsense.

After tossing, the finished product is very good.

It is a smaller than normal burger, a miniature version, a cartoon bear burger with chicken tomato slices and a special sauce. The bear’s eyes and nose are vivid and cute. There was still heat in the middle.

The little burgers are served on nice, purpose-built plates.

Knock on the door of Tong Mingyue’s house.

“This sauce is low-calorie, the overall calorie is not high, and it is not burdensome to eat at night.”

Xu Can explained, “It’s not good to stay up late on an empty stomach.”

“…thanks.”

Tong Mingyue smiled in surprise. Taking it over, seeing how delicate the small hamburgers are on the plate, he said playfully, “Did you buy them from the children’s restaurant on purpose?”

“I made it myself,” Xu Can said with a smile, “so the plate has to be returned to me.”

Tong Mingyue opened her eyes slightly: “What did you do?”

“Well, I did.”

“you…?”

“I.”

Xu Can couldn’t help but bend the corners of his eyes.

I have never seen Professor Tong look so stunned.

She looked at it carefully and said, “No way… It’s so well done? It must have been bought from outside…” She looked up and saw her smiling face, not sure, “… Really made it yourself?”

Xu Can nodded heavily, wrinkled his nose childishly and said with a smile, “I told you before that my cooking skills are very good! Did you forget?”

“Oh…”

Tong Mingyue believes that the standard of good cooking skills can be achieved by being able to cook an average tomato scrambled egg.

She is really over the top.

After a while, she said slowly, “…then that’s great too.”

Xu Can raised his lips: “You haven’t even tasted it! What if it’s actually hard to eat.”

“Won’t.”

“Why not?”

Tong Mingyue said very seriously: “I just won’t.”

Xu Can was hurt by her unreasonable persistent eyes, and continued to ask childishly: “…How do you know.”

She suddenly smiled softly and said, “I just know.”

After speaking, holding the plate, Du Duan went into the kitchen to find a knife and fork.

“…”

Xu Can stood there, his heart pounding.
