Be gentle

When Hua Ran was dragged into the bathroom by Bai Shuyi, she was still in a daze, and she didn't realize the current situation until the cold water rushed onto her hands.

Although she had heard from the proprietress who showed her the way just now that the owners of this pharmacy were the two customers just now, from the moment she entered the pharmacy to the time when she had cold water on her hands, she still had a little enthusiasm for this little sister. Can't react.

"Huaran... hey, I'll call you sister Ran. What did you do with your hand? Does it hurt? I'll deal with it for you later, you have to be patient." A little taller than her The girl's voice sounded very crisp and childish, and her temper seemed a little out of control, but her movements of helping to flush the cold water were very gentle.

The original scorching pain seemed to have eased a little, Huaran was embarrassed to remember it at this time, and wanted to withdraw her hand while whispering: "It's okay, I just want to buy some red medicine."

But the girl's strength was stronger than she imagined, and she couldn't pull it out after a long time.

"Then what's the matter? You're already very serious. You've got so many blisters. If you don't pay attention, you'll get an infection." Bai Shuyi has a handsome face, and she cut her head according to the school's regulations. She looks very soft.But when she becomes strong, it is very difficult to resist, anyway, Huaran has already lost at this time.

Huaran's personality is not an extroverted type, and she was not good at getting close to people since she was a child. In addition to the bad experience some time ago, she recently rejected physical contact with people.

It was probably because Bai Shuyi was young and a girl, and she looked harmless to humans and animals. After being treated so forcefully, Huaran couldn't feel any disgust at all.

Maybe some people have a natural ability to make people let their guard down.

"My mother is sleeping, but it's okay, I'll take care of it, you sit down first." Bai Shu pulled him to the counter and sat down, then ran to get the emergency medicine kit by himself.

"The blistering is a superficial second-degree burn. I'll apply some Jingwanhong ointment on you. Well, take some vitamin C. Anti-inflammatory drugs are prescription drugs. If you need them, you should go to the hospital first."

When Huaran heard that she was going to the hospital, she shook her head again and again.Her family was poor, and her grandfather was seriously ill and not only wiped out the last bit of family wealth, but now she still owes a lot of foreign debts.In her impression, going to the hospital is very expensive.

"I'm fine, um... is this ointment expensive?" She came out in a hurry, carrying five yuan with her. It was certainly enough to buy red medicine, but this ointment is obviously not that cheap.

Although Bai Shuyi never worried about money since he was a child, growing up in a pharmacy, not to mention getting used to seeing all kinds of life, can be regarded as having seen some people and things.Even if you don't think about it, just looking at Huaran working in a small restaurant at a young age, Bai Shuyi also understands that her family background may not be very good.

"Hey, this is free of charge. It was used by our family, and we didn't sell it to you." Bai Shuyi gently applied the ointment to Huaran's wound, and asked her, "How is it, does it hurt?" pain?"

She seems to be born with a compassionate temperament, and she especially hates the suffering of beautiful people.

Huaran was a little uncomfortable, she just shook her head and said, "It's okay."

From her point of view, the two of them just met and talked a few words, they are not even considered friends, why is this little girl so close?She has never been good at interacting with people, let alone Bai Shuyi, who is familiar to ordinary people a little quickly.

Once Bai Shu got used to his pace, he didn't care what Huaran thought at all.She is really skilled in handling the wound, and she talks to distract Huaran during the whole process.

"Sister Ran, your hands are so beautiful, you must protect them. Don't go into the water recently. Come here when you have time and I will help you with the medicine. Anyway, the distance is so close."

"This, there is no need for this, I will buy a bottle of red potion and apply it myself."

Huaran looked at Bai Shu holding her hand, and couldn't help feeling a little inferior.In terms of good-looking hands, the fingers of a green girl like hers are good-looking.Huaran knew how rough her hands were. If Bai Shu's tone and expression were not so sincere, I am afraid that this sentence would be easily misunderstood as irony.

"Red syrup doesn't work for burns, and you hurt your right hand, so it's not easy to apply the medicine yourself? Whether your injury is serious or not, it depends on how you pay attention. You don't want to affect your work, do you?" ? Our pharmacy also has the business of helping to dispense medicine, and many boys nearby after fighting always come to ask my mother to help dispense medicine." Bai Shu's tone was innocent and thoughtful, just like her This kind of character can only be cultivated in the family environment.

"That money..."

"Didn't you say that you don't need money, and I didn't sell you the medicine. We used it ourselves. You also saw a pile of scattered medicines in the box. How can my mother and I use them up? They are opened and kept. "It's true that this box is a spare medicine at home, but this ointment was put in after she opened it just now. "It's impossible for ordinary people to get scalded every day. If you buy it, you won't be able to use it up. If you come to me for a few times, it will be over."

Huaran knew that what she said was far-fetched, and she was not very willing to take advantage of it, but she couldn't think of anything to refute. "Then, let me buy a bottle of red potion."

"Well, our pharmacy has to sell medicine." Bai Shuyi took the medicine for her, "One yuan and two."

Hua Ran heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to leave after paying the money, but heard Bai Shu smile and say: "Sister Ran, I'm pretty free these two days on vacation, if you don't have time to come, I can go there too."

This girl really does it.

Although it was only two short contacts, Huaran felt that she had already begun to understand the girl's behavior.

"I'll be here."

Huaran is gentle and introverted, and even gives the impression of being a little weak.She is not very good at dealing with people, not to mention Bai Shuyi's outright kindness, she really didn't know how to refuse it.

"Then I wait for you!"

The 15-year-old girl, with a thin body and a face with a little baby fat, feels fresh and fresh like a branch of green bamboo.

Bai Shuyi has a pair of beautiful almond eyes, which are always squinted like two crescent moons because he often laughs.Her skin is fair, her dimples are obvious, and the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, as if smiling at any time.

Like a little fairy boy who doesn't eat fireworks in the world and doesn't know the sorrows of the world.

Huaran didn't know why she showed such kindness and closeness to herself. Although she occasionally encountered rare kindness in her life, such sudden ones were rare.

After returning to the restaurant, she began to return to work.Even though it's past meal time, she has other jobs besides ordering and serving food.Although being a waiter is not a decent job, it is very rare for Huaran now—at least not that kind of dirty job.

After a busy day, by the time the guests who had eaten supper left, it was already two o'clock in the morning after cleaning up.

The narrow room is converted from a storage room under the stairs, and it can only fit a bed and a cabinet.Hua Ran nestled on the wooden bed and read a book with a dim lamp. Although she was very sleepy, she still refused to let go of her daily tasks.

In fact, she doesn't know what's the point of reading these books now, but what her grandfather taught her since childhood is that knowledge can change fate.Although she still hasn't changed anything by studying, she seems to see hope all the time when she looks at these.

Huaran doesn't think she has a talent for learning, but if reading is the easiest thing in life, no one would dislike it, right?

The wound on her hand became red and swollen after soaking in water, Huaran persisted for half an hour, and finally fell asleep in the pain.

Restaurants don't open until noon, but grocery shopping and other preparations also require getting up early.Huaran got up around six o'clock and started another busy day.

The owner of the restaurant is a couple from a different place. They have been in City H for several years, and they run a small restaurant in a foreign country.At the beginning, Huaran was a bit blunt because of her introverted hospitality, but she had a good memory and quick hands and feet, so she got started quickly.As for a beautiful and hardworking girl like her, the boss would only use one of them for three, so the original idea of ​​recruiting another person was gone.

But Huaran is still very grateful to them. After all, when she was desperate, it was the proprietress of this store who took her in.

Although the salary of 1000 a month cannot be said to be high, it has saved her a lot of money including food and housing.Besides, a high school dropout like her really couldn't ask for more.

These two days happened to be the weekend, and there were quite a few people who came to eat. Huaran was busy until after two o'clock in the afternoon before she was free.While she was cleaning a dining table, Bai Shuyi walked in from the door.

The proprietress has been in the local area for several years, and she knows that the Bai family enjoys a lot of money in this area. In addition, Bai Shuyi always takes care of their business, and is a pleasant person. Whenever she sees her, she warmly greets her.

"Isn't this Xiaobai? Haven't eaten at this point? What do you want to eat, auntie ask uncle to make it for you."

Bai Shu glanced at Huaran with a smile, and then said to the proprietress: "Auntie, don't be too busy, I have already eaten. Didn't sister Ran get burned yesterday? My mother is not at ease, let me come over and have a look .”

Mama Bai is a well-known good person in the neighborhood, and she takes good care of young people who are not very experienced.The proprietress didn't say anything after hearing what she said, and said with a smile: "Sister Bai is kind-hearted. I told Huaran yesterday to make her pay more attention. It's just right for you to help her look at it today. Then you can do it yourself, auntie." Go in and see if other customers' dishes are ready."

"Ok."

The moment Huaran saw Bai Shuyi, she knew why she came.For such an overly enthusiastic and considerate intimacy, she felt a little uncomfortable, a little awkward, and a little moved.

If it were someone else, she might be more fearful and guarded, but because Bai Shuyi was a little girl, and a very pretty little girl, her defenses were minimized.
