God said I would meet you

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Lin Jinyu looked at the two mud marks on Zhang Xinli's wrist that she had scratched out, and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Zhang Xinli said.

Under Lin Jinyu's insistence, Zhang Xinli led him to walk through the mountains and through the grass, and the two of them took advantage of the dark sky to return home like thieves.

Fortunately, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother are not here, otherwise the mess can't be explained clearly.Zhang Xinli opened the door, tied the dog, and turned on the lights in one go. Under the dim light of the tungsten lamp, he scanned Lin Jinyu from top to bottom, and said, "Do you remember what the old man said just now?"

Lin Jinyu: "?" It took a long time to react, and it exploded in an instant, and he punched him: "Your uncle! Why are you turning corners when you scold me!"

Zhang Xinli dodged it: "Don't touch me, I'm so dirty."

Lin Jinyu also hated herself so much, she cursed a few words and went back to her room to get her clothes. The movement of raising her hand to open the door happened to pull her twisted shoulder blade, and she made a "hiss" instantly.

Zhang Xinli was just about to go to the kitchen to light a fire, when he heard the sound, he came over and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Lin Jinyu covered her arm and grinned, "It hurts, hurts..."

He pulled up his clothes and looked under the dim light. It seemed a little swollen, but no blood was visible.

Zhang Xinli asked, "Twisted?"

"I don't know, maybe." Lin Jinyu said, "A little bit."

Zhang Xinli put his hand on his shoulder and squeezed it gently.Lin Jinyu yelled in an instant, shrinking back in pain.

"The bones are fine." Zhang Xinli withdrew his hand, turned around and moved the small stool to the yard: "Sit down."

Lin Jinyu didn't know why, but she sat obediently.

Zhang Xinli set the kettle on the stove to boil water, and pressed a basin of well water onto it. He found a fresh-keeping bag to fill the bag of well water, and pressed it tightly to Lin Jinyu's shoulder blades.

The icy cold feeling made Lin Jinyu startled, and he asked, "Why are you doing this?"

Zhang Xinli looked at him like an idiot: "For sprains and bruises, apply cold compresses within 48 hours, and heat compresses after 48 hours."

Lin Jinyu yawned: "Unexpectedly, you are quite educated."

Zhang Xinli didn't look up, squatted down and gave him a cold compress for a while, and said, "I'm uneducated, and my Chinese performance is poor."

Lin Jinyu said: "Who gave you the chocolate last time, I have it there too."

He wanted to say that since you gave me your chocolate last time, I'll give you mine too, but Zhang Xinli would be wrong: "I didn't steal it," he said, "Chen Hui gave it to me."

Lin Jinyu felt a little uncomfortable: "Hey... Am I that unreasonable? Who said you stole it..."

"Does it hurt?" Zhang Xinli asked.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt so much when it's cold."

The two talked a few words back and forth, and the water quickly boiled.The kettle used here is the kind of kettle specially used by Lin Jinyu's grandmother who passed away n years ago. It is not big and has a loud voice. kitchen.

Hearing the voice, Zhang Xinli handed the well water bag to Lin Jinyu, motioning him to hold it down like he did just now, and said, "Sit down and don't move."

Then he stood up, turned around and went into the kitchen to get the kettle, then picked up a bucket of cold water, and poured half a bucket of boiling water into it.

Curious about what he was doing, Lin Jinyu held a water bag in her hand and pressed her shoulder, sat on a stool and poked her head in.

After a while Zhang Xinli came out with a bucket of hot water.He went back to the room to get Lin Jinyu's towel, soaked it in the bucket and got wet, and said, "Take off your clothes."

Lin Jinyu panicked: "Why?"

Zhang Xinli said speechlessly, "You don't take a bath anymore?"

Lin Jinyu hesitated for a while, but in the end he couldn't stand the mud all over his body. He couldn't lift his left hand up enough, so he kicked off his shoes and socks with his left foot and his right foot, took off his shirt and said, "Wash."

Zhang Xinli brought a pair of slippers for Lin Jinyu, changed into flip-flops himself, and pulled a pony pony over him, and sat behind Lin Jinyu with a steaming wet towel.

He was sitting much taller than Lin Jinyu, with broad shoulders and a straight back. When he bent down to soak in the water with the towel, he brought a large curtain of water and poured it on Lin Jinyu's smooth and clean back.

He opened and closed to scrub the black silt stains. His movements were quick and the strength was just right, which made Lin Jinyu feel very comfortable.

"Hey," Lin Jinyu poked Zhang Xinli back with his elbow, "Have you worked in a bathhouse before?"

Zhang Xinli poured hot water on his back with a towel, and his hands became stronger: "You only work in the bathhouse."

Lin Jinyu said seriously, "I'm praising your skills."

Zhang Xinli wiped and rubbed his back thoroughly, then began to pat the back of his neck: "I'm going to school."

"Where do you go to school?" Lin Jinyu asked, "Is it the same school as Mu Se and the others? Or... the same school as Chen Hui."

Zhang Xinli rubbed his neck, upper arms, and the backs of his ears. Seeing that the dirt was basically wiped clean, he picked up the remaining half bucket of water and splashed it on Lin Jinyu's back: "They are all in the same school, and I am not."

Lin Jinyu looked at the rushing water flowing over her shoulders with heat, and asked, "They all share the same school? Isn't this a coincidence?"

Zhang Xinli put the bucket down, wrung out the towel and wiped the water for him: "There is only one middle school near us."

That's no wonder... The school system in Shanghai is different from here, and there are many schools. There are several middle schools in the district where Lin Jinyu lives. Many friends left after graduation, and never had the chance to become classmates.

It's also very good, Lin Jinyu thought: We all go to school together from childhood to adulthood, so we can be classmates for a lifetime.

"Where do you study then?" he asked.

"In the city." Zhang Xinli said.

"Don't stay at home often, no wonder you are not as dark as them."

Zhang Xinli's complexion was indeed only a little darker than Lin Jinyu's, and it was a very healthy, slightly wheatish complexion, which was quite different from that of La Long and the others.

He helped Lin Jinyu dry off the water on his back, handed him the towel, and said, "Wash the rest yourself."

Lin Jinyu shut up. He splashed water to clean his legs and feet, and dragged a pair of water-filled slippers into the house to change clothes and pants.

He found a cool loose T-shirt from the box and put it on, and changed into a pair of big pants. When he came out, he saw Zhang Xinli undressed, and was using a towel dipped in Lin Jinyu's remaining water to wipe off the mud thrown on his chest by the dog. idea.

Zhang Xinli's abdominal muscles were well defined, tightening and stretching with his breathing.

Tsk tsk tsk, Lin Jinyu thought: Why don't I have such muscles?

Anyway, there was nothing to do, so he simply leaned over and said to Zhang Xinli, "Hello."

Zhang Xinli asked, "What?"

"Are you really only a little over a year older than me?"

"I look old?"

"No..." Lin Jinyu said in his heart that my brain waves and this person's brainwaves don't agree on one point: "I just want to say...how did you practice?"

"Practicing what?"

"Why are you pretending to be stupid with me?" Lin Jinyu swept his eyes up and down his abdominal muscles: "Here."

When the dog threw the mud, Lin Jinyu was the closest and became the hardest hit area. Zhang Xinli's chest was only splashed a little. He quickly wiped it clean, put a towel on his shoulder and stood up: "Physical education class."

"How is it possible, who are you fooled by?" Lin Jinyu said: "There are only a few physical education classes in the school, and the physical education teacher is still 'caught cold', 'being busy', 'being asked for leave' and so on. How could it be possible to practice like this."

Zhang Xinli carried the bucket to the place where the dog was tied, tilted the bucket, and splashed water on the dog to wash it: "I haven't practiced before."

Lin Jinyu called: "Hey, hey, that's my bath water! How can you wash a dog with dirty water!"

"I also use this water." Zhang Xinli straightened up and looked at him: "I only boiled a pot of water."

Lin Jinyu said quickly, "You're not a dog."

Zhang Xinli countered: "I'm not, you are."

"Is there only one pot in your house..."

Zhang Xinli interrupted him: "There is only one kettle in my house."

Yes, all right.Lin Jinyu shut up again on this question.

He said, "You... have you never practiced?"

"No."

Lin Jinyu was a little discouraged: "Well, I thought you had some fitness secrets to share with me. I also want to have abdominal muscles. Every girl likes the little brother with abdominal muscles."

Zhang Xinli said, "You only think about this when you are old."

Lin Jinyu said: "Sixteen," he said, "What's wrong with Sixteen, youthful feelings are always poetry, which girl does not cherish spring, which boy does not fall in love, in the past sixteen can get married, you are not much older than me, how can you think So feudal."

Zhang Xinli was speechless by him, so he could only say: "Well...Actually, I have a secret just like you. Don't tell others. In fact, I have a special function since I was a child, that is, I won't gain weight even if I don't exercise. , will not increase body fat."

Lin Jinyu had already forgotten the supernatural powers about dogs that he had made up. He was stunned for a while with question marks all over his head, and then he heard Zhang Xinli say without looking back: "From tomorrow, you should play less games and stay less in bed. For a while, what do I do and what do you do, when you go home, maybe you can be like me."

"Ah..." Lin Jinyu said, "That was so hard."

"It's just daily work and rest, so it's hard work?" Zhang Xinli said, "Besides, you have to work hard to get anything in the world, and there is nothing that can be obtained without hard work."

"It's a bit harsh for you to say that. The world is so beautiful, why can't you be more sunny?"

"I am telling the truth."

"Oh," Lin Jinyu said, "Okay, I'll get up early tomorrow, I'll go wherever you go, I'll do whatever you do, I won't even take you behind when I go to the bathroom, and I'll see the effect when I'm going home, hum, If it doesn't work at all, you just wait..."

"What are you waiting for?" Zhang Xinli looked down at him, "What can you do?"

"Wait..." Lin Jinyu urgently searched for words.

With clothes draped over his shoulders, Zhang Xinli walked into the room and said, "Don't turn around, you'll be blown away, you can talk about it first when you get up."
