Not too many out of four

Zhongyuan Zhongye's tongue was scalded by the herbal tea. Although there were no blisters in his mouth for the time being, he couldn't relax easily.

Even if the soft flesh in the mouth is as strong as Zhongyuan Zhongye, it is impossible to exercise without fear of being scalded and frozen. Lijia can help the face-saving teenagers to keep secrets, but if they don’t go to the hospital for examination and treatment, they have to put ice cubes at home and spray medicine for observation. night.

If she doesn't get better when she wakes up tomorrow morning, she will go to the hospital for treatment. She is worried that it will not be treated well and the wound will worsen if she just treats it at home.

"How could it get worse..." Zhong Yuanzhong also had a swollen tongue, mumbled indistinctly: "Leave this little injury alone, and it will heal itself."

Li Jia poked her head out to observe the corridor outside, looked left and right to make sure no one was passing by, then pulled Zhong Yuan Zhongya and ran towards the direction of the kitchen.

Although there is still more than a month before summer, the weather has gradually started to heat up. In order to make desserts to relieve the heat and heat, she deliberately froze some ice cubes in the refrigerator, and now she can just take them out for Zhongya Zhongyuan.

"Open your mouth—" Li Jia demonstrated that she opened her mouth wide, pinched the ice cube and wanted to throw it into Zhongyuan Zhongye's mouth with lightning speed, but he just muttered downstairs for a long time, and now he is silent again, letting her There is no chance to take advantage of it.

The ice cube in her hand was so cold that she wanted to throw it away. If Zhong Yuanzhong didn't cooperate, she wouldn't have to work so hard to coax him to open his mouth.

"I'm not you, how can I be so delicate and expensive," Zhong Yuanzhong was also reluctant, and opened his mouth wide: "Ah——"

The ice cube was safely put into his mouth, Li Jia thought it might not be enough, added another piece, and said, "So I'm so hard to serve?"

The skin is delicate and the flesh is expensive, and the slightest injury can't be tolerated.

Zhong Yuanzhong also froze, and hurriedly wanted to explain, but the ice in his mouth made him almost speechless, and he could only utter a series of vague and meaningless words.

"Okay, I'm not angry." Li Jia held his face and helped him close his mouth. In fact, she knew in her heart how she looked in the eyes of the Central Plains, so naturally she would not be angry because of such a trivial matter.

If she was angry because of something today, it would only be because Zhongyuan Zhong didn't actively cooperate with her treatment.

"Does this make you feel better?" Using ice cubes and cold water on burns can relieve the discomfort a little bit, and wait for a while before spraying medicine for treatment.

Zhong Yuanzhong also licked the ice cube in his mouth and turned around a few times. It was really comfortable to have the ice cool in his mouth, but he liked the feeling of crushing the ice cube more than holding him in his mouth.

It's like crushing the ice cubes in your mouth after drinking Coca-Cola.

As he thought about it, his teeth naturally fell down, crushing the ice cubes and making a sound.

"Mr. Zhongye!" Li Jia was about to put away the ice tray, but unexpectedly, Zhongyuan Zhong didn't look at it for a while, turned around and bit the ice cube he was about to hold into pieces like a snack, and said angrily and funny: "The ice cube is It's not for you to bite into pieces."

Does he understand the purpose of serving ice cubes before taking the medicine? She didn't bring him to the kitchen to find snacks.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also stunned, and snorted in confusion: "?"

Anyway, it's all stuff in the mouth, what's the difference between holding it in your mouth and crushing it, it won't all turn into water and flow into the stomach.

"Open your mouth!" Li Jia pinched his cheeks, picked up two ice cubes and put them in his mouth, and explained patiently: "The ice cubes are for cold therapy, not for you to play. Eating too many ice cubes will make your stomach hurt. of."

The cheek meat was pinched a little by Li Jia's fingers, unable to close his mouth without authorization, he could only press his tongue against the ice, Zhong Yuanzhong was also slightly lost in thought, feeling a little strange.

Li Jia's strength plus ten points won't make him hurt, but this feeling is very concerning.

She couldn't explain clearly, and there was a little ambiguity that made people flustered and heartbeat quickened, but the girl's expression was quite serious, and she didn't seem to be wrong at all, which made Zhong Yuanzhong somewhat ashamed.

What the hell is he thinking about at this time, Li Jia is just to help him heal.

"There doesn't seem to be anyone in the living room right now. Let's go in now." Like a pathfinding forward cat, Li Jia pulled him lightly, avoiding people he might meet, and groped carefully all the way to the living room to get the medicine box. In order to protect the Central Plains Ye's self-esteem and face can be described as painstaking.

Knowing that the boy didn't want to lose face, Li Jia also took good care of his emotions, and took the initiative to explore the way as a forward to make sure there was no one on the road to drag him over, and finally got the medicine box in the living room and went back to the guest room.

"Get to the base safely," she said with a long sigh of relief, holding the medicine box contentedly, "at least no one noticed."

I fumbled and fumbled all the way forward, as if I was found to be GAMEOVER, the route started from the guest room on the first floor to the kitchen to get ice cubes, then went to the living room on the first floor to get the medicine box, and finally returned to the original starting point.

"Why are you worried about being discovered by them?" Zhong Yuanzhong also asked with ice in his mouth, puzzled.

Just walking all the way, because of Li Jia's cautious and nervous attitude, even he couldn't help but slow down his pace, prick up his ears to listen to nearby voices, and sneak forward after confirming that everything was safe.

Ke Lijia obviously didn't need to hide from those guys, let alone act in such a cautious and cautious way as if sneaking into some important place.

"Isn't Zhongye-kun the one who is worried about being discovered?" Li Jia sighed helplessly.

If it wasn't because Zhong Yuanzhong didn't want others to know that she had burned her mouth, why would she sneak around in her own home and get ice cubes and a medicine box like a thief.

Zhong Yuanzhong also blinked, and suddenly realized: "Do you still remember?"

He said he didn't want those guys to know that he had burned his mouth.

"What did Mr. Zhongye say? Didn't you just say that you don't want to let Brother Zhongye and the others know?" Li Jia lowered her head and touched his forehead, wondering whether he might have been burned by the herbal tea and lost his memory.

"Ah, I thought..." His words stuck in his throat and he didn't continue, he just looked up at her carefully.

He thought that when Li Jia insisted on pulling him out, he was going to tell those guys to get revenge on him for saying that she had a headache and cried when she bumped into it last time.

Li Jia tilted her head in confusion: "What does Mr. Zhongye think?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also shook his head again and again, and said vaguely: "No, it's nothing."

Even if I don't know how to look at the air anymore, I know that I can't say this at this time. Once I say it, Li Jia will definitely get angry again, saying, "I am in the heart of Mr. Zhongye, am I such a grudge?" "I won't do this Such a thing, and Zhongye-kun said such annoying things again."

Anyway, he just mutters and doesn't speak harsh words, he just stays aside and gets sulky.

The kind that neither disturbs nor takes the initiative to take care of others, and is very inconspicuous even when angry.

……

During the time when the ice cubes were cold compressing her mouth, she couldn't take any medicine for the time being. Li Jia took out the medicine that was suitable for the disease, and looked around while holding the medicine box, thinking about where it would be better to put the medicine box temporarily.

The heavy book that fell on the ground inadvertently was the book that Nakahara Nakaya had just temporarily hidden behind his clothes in a hurry. He quietly put it down when he left the guest room, thinking that they would not come back later, so he put it away for the time being. Li Jia will not be found on the ground.

Unexpectedly, Li Jia took him upstairs and downstairs and ran around, and then returned to the guest room. His attention was diverted by her strange way of acting, and he left the unhidden books behind.

"A brief introduction to comics?" Li Jia picked up the book, looked at the catalog and read: "Teach you how to quickly understand comics, step into the threshold of the comic world, and two or three things you need to know when getting started with comics..."

"Hey, wait!" Zhong Yuanzhong's face changed drastically, he even forgot to throw the book on the ground, "That's my book, don't read it!"

He didn't want Li Jia to know that he was secretly reading this kind of thing, and wasting money to buy such a book if he wanted to know about comics.

In panic and shame, he wanted to rush over and snatch the book back when Li Jia didn't see the corners of the annotations in the book. He never thought that she would close the book directly and hug her tightly so that he couldn't do anything.

"Give it back to me quickly, don't you know how to draw? There's no need to read this kind of book anymore, right?" Zhong Yuanzhong was also impatient, and if he wanted to snatch it back, he couldn't just grab it in Li Jia's arms.

"I know that's right." She held the book tightly with her hands and asked, "So why didn't Mr. Zhongye come to ask me?"

She just glanced at it. The price of this book is not cheap, and the content is complicated. It seems to have piled up a lot of knowledge, but in fact it is not very useful for comics. After reading it, she may still be confused. published book.

Zhongyuan Zhong is also a complete layman in painting and comics. He only looks at the thick and rich content of the book, but in fact, beginners should choose books that are simple and easy to understand.

"I, I don't want to ask, can't I?" He hesitated and couldn't speak, and turned his eyes away from her eyes.

If he could say it out loud, let Li Jia spend her spare time teaching him. She was already overwhelmed by studies and housework in comics. He wanted to ease her burden before buying books for self-study.

He also knew that if he asked Li Jia, she would definitely teach him these things patiently, but wouldn't this conflict with his original purpose?He wanted to lighten her burden, not become her burden.

Li Jia stared at him for a long time without making a sound, and Zhong Yuanzhong also looked at her frequently, a little unable to bear this silent staring.

"Can you return it to me?" Zhong Yuan Zhong also touched the back of his neck and said in a low voice, "Anyway, you know what it is."

"Does Nakaya-kun want to become a manga artist?" She asked softly, "Being a manga artist is not something you can do simply by reading a book."

Zhong Yuanzhong also became angry from embarrassment: "Of course I know that kind of thing!"

How to say it, he didn't want to be a cartoonist, he just didn't want her to work so hard.

How could he say such nasty words.

"Let me teach you!" Li Jia took his hand and said seriously: "I'll teach Chuya-kun how to draw manga, on the condition that Zhongye-kun can no longer hide from me secretly."

"...Who is sneaking away from you?" Li Jia didn't have much strength to grab him, and Zhongyuan Zhong could easily break free if he wanted to, but he never thought of doing this, and he didn't dare to see those too bright and penetrating eyes. The blue eyes showed sadness, so he could only bluff and raise his voice: "Understood, I will learn from you."

Li Jia pursed her lips, and said depressedly: "Mr. Zhongye really can't say good things."

Obviously it is something exciting to be a teacher, but Nakahara Chuya's words are always difficult to make people happy.

"I'm sorry for not being able to talk like those guys." He hummed unconvinced.

He is not as powerful as those guys, he can easily find ways to get money, and he can also arrange his identity properly, so he can quickly adapt to this different world.

He didn't understand the methods and channels of the mafia that they were familiar with. He had never been exposed to these when he was a sheep, and it was impossible for him to be exposed to these things, let alone get money through improper means such as robbery.

Let Zhongyuan Zhong also think of a way to subsidize his family. The first idea that popped up in his mind was to work part-time.

But then it would be difficult for him to take care of protecting Li Jia, and he needs to go out frequently. He is not afraid of hard work, nor is he unable to do part-time work, but he is just worried that all of them will leave Li Jia, and she will return to her previous state.

Going to and from school alone, no one is protecting her safety, and she has to support her housework, studies and part-time comics by herself.

At least his time is the most flexible, and it is convenient to protect Li Jia at any time.

He wanted to protect her like his companions who guarded the sheep before, but he was worried that she would feel that he was too lenient and unhappy.

He knew that girls were hard to please.

But this is the only girl he wants to please, even if his method is clumsy and occasionally makes her angry, he will only treat her well in his own way.

He sullenly followed Li Jia's waving motion and sat down, trying to absorb the knowledge she said, and found that he could easily understand the meaning of things that he didn't understand before, and he also knew what to do.

Zhong Yuanzhong is also undoubtedly smart, but he has never been exposed to comics before, and he is unfamiliar with it and does not know where to start. Once Li Jia leads him to get started, he can learn many things quickly.

Perhaps people named Nakahara Chuya have a very high literary sensibility. He naturally understands these things easily, and can even draw inferences about Li Jia's explanations. However, in just two hours, he went from a novice who knew nothing to a smooth understanding of many comics. thing.

Including but not limited to what comic assistants need to do, the work content of comic editors, and how cartoonists usually draw a complete comic from scratch.

"Let's go here first today," Li Jia closed the book, straightened her leg that had been bent at her side and tapped it, and said with a soft smile: "Mr. Zhongye learns very quickly, and I can probably try to get started tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. "

Zhongyuan Zhong also tried his best to suppress his joy, and coughed twice: "It's just some entry-level knowledge, and it's normal to learn quickly."

If you really want to help Lijia, you have to practice with real guns in actual combat.

"But I didn't understand it for a long time when I was learning it by myself?" Li Jia raised her head and stretched her neck, and said, "Because I took a detour and wasted several months, no publisher is willing to accept my manuscript."

Zhong Yuanzhong was also very surprised, it was the first time he heard Li Jia say such a thing.

He also thought that Li Jia was a talented cartoonist, and the first work he drew was widely acclaimed during the serialization period.

"There may be very powerful cartoonists, but I'm still far away." Li Jia retracted her hand that fell on the back of her neck, stretched her eyebrows and smiled.

"Is it a pain in the neck?" Nakahara Chuya noticed that Li Jia had maintained the same posture for a long time, and now his body began to feel sore and uncomfortable, and his stiff body could not stand up without moving.

"Do you need me to rub it for you?"

Originally, a cartoonist is a clerical job that is prone to neck pain, shoulder pain, low back pain, and problems everywhere.

Li Jia hesitated for a while, then whispered: "That should be lighter?"

She really couldn't bear the intensity of Chuya Chuya and the others rubbing their backs in the soup pool last time.

The slightly hot body temperature fell on her shoulders through the fabric of the clothes, and she shrank her shoulders subconsciously, trying to avoid his hand from the itching.

"Don't move around," Zhong Yuanzhong also said helplessly: "You shrink your shoulders, I can't do anything."

Li Jia was struggling to relax her body, and said worriedly: "You really can't use too much force, you should use the lightest and lightest force."

She was a little afraid of Zhongyuan Zhong, who didn't know how serious it was, and pinched her until she burst into tears.

"Understood, I'm not someone who can't control my strength." Zhong Yuanzhong also muttered in response.

Isn't it funny that people who play gravity can't control their own strength?

He was very confident when he spoke, but he couldn't help but hesitate when his hands fell on the girl's thin shoulders. How much strength should be used for Li Jia?

He didn't even dare to put his hands down completely to pinch, so he could only rub her neck with his palms first, and asked tentatively, "Will this hurt?"

A little pain fell on the stiff body parts, and with the slow kneading movement, the muscles gradually relaxed.

Li Jia snorted softly, "That's good, no need to use any more force."

Zhongyuan Zhongye's ears were red, and he felt more and more that his subordinates did not know how to move. The palms of his hands could feel the girl's body temperature and fragrance through the clothes, as well as the soft humming that he couldn't escape even if he wanted to avoid it flowing into his ears.

He swallowed, his body became stiff and tense, and his back began to sweat hotly: "Ah, oh."
