It's a human being!

Zhou Zhou's initial thoughts were simple, but it wasn't until he helped Jin Ci undress in the bathroom that he realized how big a hole he had dug for himself.

When Jin Ci was naked, he felt very different from usual.

The muscles of the shoulder blades pulled out tight and powerful lines, and there was a silent oppressive force just standing in front of him. When the long dark eyes looked over, it gave people an indescribable sense of aggression.It seems that the previous cold and indifferent appearance evaporated with the clothes he took off, and the present Jin Ci is his real appearance.

Zhou Zhou lowered his eyes to help Jin Ci finish undressing, his eyes accidentally glanced at a place, and his eyelids twitched heavily.

...It would be fine if they were monsters, but they are all ordinary humans, so why is there such a big difference? !

He had secretly compared them through swimming trunks before, and had a rough estimate of this, but he still felt naive when he saw it with his own eyes.

Zhou Zhou looked away as if his eyes were scalded, and his momentum was like a leaky balloon, puffing out visibly with the naked eye.

But in an instant he perked up.

Now that he wants to help Jin Ci, who is inconvenient, take a bath, he has to concentrate on doing it, and he shouldn't care too much about other things.Just treat it as a very important big white radish. Doesn't he know how to wash radishes?

To be on the safe side, Zhou Zhou first wrapped Jin Ci's right arm with plastic cling film, and then unscrewed the hot water. After testing the temperature, he drenched Jin Ci, carefully avoiding his right hand. Shampoo his hair again, his expression is so focused that he can no longer focus.

The bathroom was filled with steam, and only the sound of dripping water could be heard, neither of them spoke.With his back turned to him, Jin Ci glanced at the blurred figure reflected on the tiles from the corner of his eye for a while, and suddenly asked, "What are you thinking?"

Zhou Zhou was concentrating on wiping: "Big white radish."

Jin Ci: ...?

Zhou Zhou came back to his senses: "Cough, no, I mean I didn't think about anything..."

Jin Ci: "It seems that you came back a little later than usual today?"

Zhou Zhou smiled: "Well, I went to the playground for a while after my evening self-study. I want to go for a few days. After all, I have to participate in the marathon, so it's better to prepare carefully. Does Senior Jin want to rest early at night? Then I'll change it It’s enough to run when you have time, so you can come back early after studying at night.”

"No need." Jin Ci replied, "I still have the same schedule as before, and you will come back after you run."

He knew Jin Ci's routine before. After all, the two of them had rooms close to each other, and they used the same bathroom. The sound of washing could still be heard faintly, and he probably knew when to go in and when to come out.

Zhou Zhou nodded, turned on the shower head, and said, "Senior Jin, close your eyes."

He quickly washed away the foam from Jin Ci's hair, and then began to rub shower gel on him.I wiped my back first, and when I wiped my waist and abdomen, my hands paused, turned around and went up again.

The bathroom was filled with fog, and he wiped Jin Ci's back carefully twice, almost turning red. When the foam was washed away with the shower, Zhou Zhou slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, dawdling.

Jin Ci lowered his eyes halfway, his eyes fell on the ears of the person beside him through the white water vapor, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you think the water is too hot, you can lower the temperature a little, I'm fine."

Zhou Zhou's movements froze, and he didn't react too much: "...Isn't this a bath for you? Why do I feel the water is hot?"

Jin Ci smiled softly, and suddenly raised his hand to wipe a wet stain on Zhou Zhou's ear.

"It's so red, is it steamed?"

The tone and expression of the inquiry were very serious, as if he really didn't understand the question and asked sincerely.

"..." Zhou Zhou was stunned for a moment, the thin red on the tips of his ears spread even more, as if it was about to burn hot.

He pursed his lower lip, subconsciously turned his head to avoid the other party's sight, and retorted: "No."

After speaking, he seemed to feel that he was not convincing enough, and added bluntly: "It's not very hot, I must have read it wrong."

There was a smile in the corner of Jin Ci's eyes, but he didn't speak.

There is no way to wash this bath.

Zhou Zhou looked away, and said unnaturally: "The back is almost washed, so what, I'll go out first, and call me if you need something."

Not daring to delay after finishing speaking, he stuffed the towel into Jin Ci's hand, and disappeared behind the bathroom door almost in embarrassment.

With the sound of water pattering, Jin Ci stared in the direction of the door, a few golden glints flickered in his dark eyes.He rubbed his fingertips lightly, as if reminiscing about some residual touch, and after a while, he smiled with regret.

Jin Ci didn't call him again until after taking a shower, and Zhou Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When the ear was touched in the bathroom just now, there was an indescribable feeling, as if something spread from the touched place along the nerve endings in an instant, and the heartbeat was agitated and tightened.

Jin Ci just touched his ear, why did he have such a strange feeling, did he become strange...

Zhou Zhou touched his ears in confusion, as if the heat was not his own.He was inexplicably ashamed, lying on the bed with his face sunk in the pillow, and after a while he rolled over while hugging the quilt, curling himself up in the quilt like an ostrich.

After being dazed for a while, the temperature at the tips of his ears finally returned to normal. Zhou Zhou suddenly remembered that he hadn't helped Jin Ci blow-dry his hair yet.

It must be very inconvenient for Jin Ci to have one hand.

He pulled back the quilt and sat up, then hurriedly went to get the hair dryer again.

The relationship after that was normal, and Zhou Zhou never had such a strange reaction again, which made him feel a little relieved.It seems that it was just an accident in the bathroom just now, he didn't become weird because he was touched by others.

"Are you still going to run tomorrow night?" Jin Ci asked.

"Well, I'm going to try running more than 1000 meters tomorrow. I'll run as much as I can, so I'll be back later. What's the matter, Senior Jin?" Zhou Zhou put away the hair dryer, and carefully checked whether the other party's bandages were intact. question.

"No." Jin Ci got up and went upstairs, turned around and said, "Good day and night."

Zhou Zhou looked at the other party, subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth: "Well, good night."

When practicing running, it will feel a little hard at the beginning, but it will become easier when you run more.

After the self-study get out of class was over the next night, Zhou Zhou and Xiaoyuan went for a night run again. Compared with yesterday, although it was not obvious, the running was indeed a little better.

But only a little bit.

In the middle of the journey, Zhou Zhou's breath was completely chaotic, and the cold air was sucked into the mouth in large gusts, which made people's throat feel fishy and cold.The people behind him passed him effortlessly one by one, giving people the illusion that he was the only one on the playground who couldn't keep up.

In the shaking field of vision, countless animal tails and wings are floating around in near or far places. The feeling of powerlessness that I couldn't escape no matter how hard I tried when I was a child surged up from the depths of my memory, almost overwhelming people.

Zhou Zhou suddenly seemed to have lost all strength, stopped and walked to the side to catch his breath.

It seemed that someone came over from his side and stood beside him for a while, Zhou Zhou didn't pay attention, but saw that the other party handed him a familiar thermos.

"...Senior Jin, why are you here?" Zhou Zhou took the thermos and said in surprise.

Jin Ci's deep facial features were half-shrouded in shadow, and the ambiguous light and shadow blurred his expression, showing a certain softness.The white bandage wrapped around his right arm was a bit dazzling in the dark, and he replied, "It's okay anyway, let's come and see you."

I was thirsty after running on Zhou Zhou. I unscrewed the lid and took a sip. The temperature was just right, and I felt alive immediately.

"Senior Jin, you still have injuries on your hands. There are too many people here and you can't see them clearly. It's too dangerous. You'd better go back quickly."

"Well, I'll go back after a while." Jin Ci responded, but he didn't look like he was about to leave. His dark eyes looked at him carefully, "Are you tired from running around?"

Tiredness is actually not. If it was before, I might still be able to run another lap.The light in Zhou Zhou's eyes changed, and his black and slender eyelashes drooped. He was tired of following Jin Ci's words and didn't want to run away, but it was a lie, and he couldn't say it in front of this person.

Zhou Zhou unconsciously grasped the cup tightly, and while hesitating, the center of his brows was suddenly covered with a cool and soft touch.

"Don't frown." Jin Ci brushed his brows with his fingertips, "If you don't want to do it, don't force it."

Zhou Zhou was stunned for a while, until the other party's fingers left with a nostalgic touch, and then he came back to his senses.

"I'm not, I'm not unwilling." Zhou Zhou pursed his lips, "It's just that everyone is running faster than me, as if I can't catch up anyway, there is no way I can run faster than them... "

Before he finished speaking, Jin Ci stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his hair: "Why do you want to compare yourself with others?"

Probably because the other party was too close when they spoke, and the low voice almost brushed against the ear, Zhou Zhou was a little dizzy: "Huh?"

"Dayday is unique, no one can compare with it. If you want to run, you just need to run as hard as you can. It doesn't matter if you finish running or not. I will always watch you."

Zhou Zhou looked into the other person's eyes and didn't speak for a long time, his mind was full of the last half sentence.

I will always watch you.

Jin Ci added: "So don't worry too much."

"..." Zhou Zhou's eyes began to light up faintly, "I understand, Senior Jin!"

His whole body seemed to be full of strength again: "I will run hard, I won't think about it anymore, I will run again!"

As he said that, he folded himself into the army of night runners with vigor and energy, and gradually ran away.

Jin Ci stood there watching for a while, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Ahem, the kid is really coaxing~" A figure suddenly approached Jin Ci's side, glanced at the white bandage on Jin Ci's arm with a half-smile, and the smile in his eyes deepened, "It's been a few days, The bandage is still tied, so you can deceive the children, Mr. Jin?"

"Shi Hui," Jin Ci said in a flat voice, watching Zhou Riye's running direction without moving, "You can cut off your tongue."

Shi Hui laughed hahaha for a long time, the peacock feathers behind him trembled, and he almost laughed out loud.

"What's the matter?" Jin Ci's voice was a little cold.

Shi Hui knew that the other party was chasing someone away, so he quickly put away his smile and said seriously: "Yes, yes, it's a big deal!"

He lowered his voice: "Jiujinhai wants you to clear it up, Ruoruo and the others can't clear it up."

Jin Ci: "Isn't there still you?"

Shi Hui: "Are you kidding! How could I go into the water with a single bird? Last time I was on the snowy mountain, I almost didn't freeze to death. I lay down for a few days when I came back..."

Jin Ci: "I'm not free."

Shi Hui: "..."

Shi Hui blinked, looked at the figure in the distance, and suddenly a strange light flashed in his eyes: "Actually, I heard that there is a very famous cave on the Jiujin Sea. There are many legends, and the atmosphere of exploring at night is very good! I Remember that children seem to be particularly interested in such weird legends?"

Jin Ci: "..."

Shi Hui: "If you go on an adventure there at night and tell two ghost stories, the kids will definitely run around in fright, and maybe they'll throw themselves into someone's arms cough cough cough. President Jin, don't you think so?"
