Ferocious Dog of Old - Chapter 39
[Chapter 39]
“No,” blurted out, and it was a strange thing to say. After speaking, the smell came, and I wanted to say something to make up for it, but I opened my mouth and didn’t say anything, and finally stood up and walked away with eyes down.
He left before he finished speaking. Normally, Chi Cheng might drag him back and say a few more words to him, but he didn’t really want to talk about him, so he just let him go.
Tao Huainan often thinks about small emotions by himself, and sensitive children are still sensitive when they grow up. But in the final analysis, he is not too stubborn, and he can figure it out by himself after tossing for a long time.
Before breaking through Chi Cheng’s bottom line to the point where Chi Cheng would take care of him, he would be fine again, what to do, listen well in class, and sleep well.
The little brothers are still very popular in school now, Chi Cheng is the first in the class, and they have two fights in the first year of junior high. They are equivalent to the appearance of the class, as long as he doesn’t always put his face and ignore everyone’s popularity, it won’t be too bad. Not to mention Tao Huainan, a protected animal in the class.
Usually after lunch, Chi Cheng takes Tao Huainan around the playground a few times. Sitting every day from morning to night is very tiring. Sometimes when Chi Cheng goes to play basketball for a while, Tao Huainan sits on the steps by himself. The weather in September is neither too cold nor too hot. It is very comfortable to sit in the shade by the playground in a hooded sweater.
Someone came over and sat down beside him. The movements and footsteps were light, and there was a faint scent of shampoo on his body. He deliberately made a rough voice and said, “Guess who I am—”
Tao Huainan laughed , with her arms still on her knees and her chin on her hands, she said, “Sister Xuan.”
“It’s boring,” the little girl shook her long ponytail. “Sometimes I always wonder if you pretend you can’t see, but you can actually see.”
“That’s great.” Tao Huainan said.
His face was always facing the direction of the basketball court. He couldn’t hear Chi Cheng’s voice in the messy basketball court, but Tao Huainan liked to catch Chi Cheng from the chaotic footsteps. Sometimes I think that what I heard is him, but in fact it is all blind.
“Then what are you looking at over there?” The little girl shook her hand in front of Tao Huainan, who didn’t blink and didn’t respond.
“I see my little brother.”
“You can’t see it again.”
“He can see me.” Tao Huainan blinked slowly and spoke slowly. In the warm autumn noon, everyone was slow. “He said my eyes are big, and he knew it when I looked over there.” The
little girl was amused by him and said to him, “So you pretend to look, and your eyes are so wide on purpose.”
“I didn’t open them on purpose, just Open it naturally.” Tao Huainan raised his hand in front of him, “It’s already that big.”
“Show off.” The girl took out two lollipops from her pocket, gave Tao Huainan one, and ate one for herself.
In the face of an invisible person, in addition to the compassion that arises from the heart, you will also feel more secure, and it will be easier to be with him. After that, they didn’t talk anymore, each with a lollipop, the girl watched the playground, and Tao Huainan listened to Chi Cheng.
This is the girl sitting at his back table now. The class seats are changed every year, and two girls are sitting at the back of this semester. Tao Huainan has absorbed many little secrets of adolescent girls, and they will be willing to tell Tao Huainan what they are embarrassed to say to others.
He is like a quiet secret box, calmly receiving many tender thoughts.
When Chi Cheng came over after playing the ball, the girl had already left, Tao Huainan handed him the water, Chi Cheng twisted his head up and drank it.
“Tired?” Tao Huainan asked. “No.” Chi Cheng stretched out his hand
and pulled him up, “Did you fall asleep just now?”
Tao Huainan laughed immediately: “Do you really know? I just closed my eyes for a while.”
He leaned on Tao Huainan’s back and gently pushed forward. He had just finished playing, running back and forth on the court, and he was still breathing evenly. Tao Huainan could clearly hear his breathing when walking.
Tao Huainan closed his eyes, was pushed by Chi Cheng, and walked slowly along the strength. The rubber lawn was very soft. Tao Huainan reached out and scratched on Chi Cheng’s clothes, and his heart was also soft.
“What?” Chi Cheng looked at him.
“Just touch,” Tao Huainan smiled until his eyes rolled down, “touch you.”
Chi Cheng raised his hand and touched a small red mark that Tao Huainan had just slept on his arm, and said to him: “Lai Ren Essence.”
Lai Ren Jing Tao Huainan, no loss of these three words, he is still not independent when he grows up, and sticks to his little brother every day. Those children who have been in schools for the blind since they were young, can do anything by themselves when they are so old. Tao Huainan has lost a lot of independent training for blind people if he does not go to school for the blind, but in fact, it is the same for him everywhere. He is in the school for the blind. He didn’t learn anything in the past few years, and whoever asked him to have a younger brother, he only knew how to call it “delayed hardships”.
Tao Xiaodong came back early in the evening, and when they came home from school, his brother was already at home.
Tao Huainan took a shower before changing into pajamas, and came out fragrant. Tao Xiaodong’s favorite, he likes to smell the smell on his brother’s body, so the bath liquid of Tao Huainan at home has always been milky. In this regard, Chi Cheng is also fascinated by his liking, and he will not let Tao Huainan replace it with something else.
Tao Xiaodong had already finished cooking, and while Tao Huainan was taking a bath, Chi Cheng cooked a bowl of shrimp noodles by himself. Last night, he promised Tao Huainan to cook for him today. Tao Xiaodong said to him, “It
‘s not too much trouble for you.”
Tao Huainan came out of the shower and sat down directly. He leaned his nose close to the table and smelled it. With a “wow” sound, he reached out to touch it carefully. The bowl was still very hot.
Chi Cheng went to the kitchen to get something else, Tao Xiaodong’s phone rang in the room, he stood up to answer the phone.
Tao Huainan put his hand on his lap and waited obediently for the two of them to come to eat. The smell of noodles was in his nose. He loved eating the noodles that Chi Cheng cooked for him.
“Brother Ku, help me get it—” Before Tao Huainan could finish speaking, there were several consecutive bumps in a panic, then Tao Huainan exclaimed “Ah”, and then there was the smashing sound of the bowl shattering.
Tao Xiaodong and Chi Cheng both ran over, Tao Huainan stood aside in a panic, his hands still shaking with his trousers.
“Is it hot?!” Tao Xiaodong asked, coming over and pulling Tao Huainan away, preventing him from standing in the middle of the broken bowl, “Brother, look.”
“It’s too hot,” Tao Huainan’s hands were red and stained on his pants He was startled and his voice trembled a little, “I didn’t touch it, it fell off by itself, it’s so hot!”
Chi Cheng didn’t say a word, he squatted down and pulled off Tao Huainan’s trousers, even the trousers His pants were all stripped off, and Tao Huainan didn’t let Tao Huainan wear any more slippers, so he took him directly to the bathroom to take a shower.
The cold water sprayed on Tao Huainan’s body and made him snort again. Chi Ku let him stand in the bathtub. After taking off the shower head, he took off the shower and poured a hose on Tao Huainan’s legs. The cold water ran down his legs, and Tao Huainan was frozen by the cold water shake.
“Does it hurt so bad?” Chi Cheng asked with a hand on him, frowning.
“It won’t hurt if you hit the water, it will hurt if you don’t flush it.” Tao Huainan held his hand for fear of slipping, and was still explaining in a low voice, “I really didn’t touch it…” The
little blind man did something wrong and caused trouble for others I feel guilty all the time and feel guilty.
Chi Cheng said, “It’s not bad for you, it’s okay.” The
noodles have been out for a while. It must be hot, but it shouldn’t be scalded. It should be fine to take a shower and treat it later. But this did not prevent Tao Xiaodong from feeling distressed, watching Tao Huainan standing bare-legged in the bathtub flushing, still explaining this, he felt very uncomfortable.
Tao Xiaodong sat on the edge of the bathtub and patted his brother’s back lightly: “There is water on the table, it’s not your fault.”
Tao Huainan’s hand was also hot, so he stretched out and put it under the water, Chi Cheng rushed back and forth for him, rushed For a while.
Because he can’t see, Tao Huainan has been accidentally burned too many times since he was a child, and any accident may happen to him. Chi Cheng is very skilled at dealing with these, whether it is burnt or a wound, Chi Cheng can handle it for him.
After wiping the towel on him, Tao Huainan was taken back by Chi Cheng half-carried. Tao Xiaodong couldn’t reach his hand at all. When he wanted to reach out, Chi Cheng didn’t lift his head, he just said, “I’m coming, brother.”
“Does it still hurt?” Chi Cheng put Tao Huainan on the bed and turned to get the scalding cream .
“It doesn’t hurt anymore,” Tao Huainan sneezed and answered honestly, “It’s just a little hot, it doesn’t hurt as much as before.”
Chi Ku hummed, “It’s okay.”
He was too steady, Tao Xiaodong simply stopped reaching out and leaned against the wall behind him to look at them. Watching Chi Cheng methodically apply scald ointment to him, watching Tao Huainan raise his hand and gently touch Chi Cheng’s hair out of self-blame and guilt.
It seemed that they had grown into half adults in time he hadn’t noticed.
Tao Huainan really didn’t touch the bowl. He was just waiting to eat. He touched it once and found that it was hot and didn’t touch it again. There was water at the bottom of the bowl and possibly on the table, and the bowl did slide down on its own.
Who’s to blame for this? Blame Chi Cheng for cooking the noodles for him, or blame Tao Xiaodong for answering the phone?
No one is to blame, in the final analysis, it is because Tao Huainan can’t see.
Chi Cheng applied medicine to Tao Huainan in the room, and Tao Xiaodong cleaned up the mess around the dining table.
Tao Huainan felt a little uncomfortable and didn’t speak much.
After finishing everything, Chi Cheng touched his chin with the back of his hand and said, “I’ll cook you another bowl.”
Tao Huainan shook his head and said,
“I won’t eat it.” “I will.” Chi Cheng turned around and went out.
Tao Huainan and Tao Xiaodong ate a bowl of noodles together, and Tao Huainan couldn’t eat it without taking a few bites. Chi Cheng asked him, “What do you want to eat tomorrow?”
Tao Huainan still shook his head and said in a low voice, “You can’t choose what to eat.”
“Look at this little one,” Tao Xiaodong laughed, “are you acting like a spoiled child or are you really guilty.”
“I don’t know,” Tao Huainan thought . He wanted to say, “Maybe a little bit.”
Chi Cheng and Tao Xiaodong both made him laugh, Tao Xiaodong said: “This is just too big, if I was a child, I would have shed tears now.”
Chi Cheng said “um”: “This is It’s almost too soon.” The
two brothers deliberately said that he would not cry, but there must be a bit of self-loathing.
At night, Tao Huainan turned from time to time, couldn’t fall asleep, and kept moving.
Chi Cheng ignored him at first, but later said, “Sleep honestly.”
Tao Huainan murmured for a long time: “Well…”
Chi Cheng added: “Go to bed quickly, don’t worry if you can’t get up tomorrow morning.”
Tao Huainan pursed his lips and said nothing.
What happened at the time of the meal didn’t make him unable to sleep until now, that’s too exaggerated, not so much. The emotions caused by that little thing are enough for Tao Huainan to get tired of himself for two hours. It is true that he can’t sleep now, but it is not a psychological reason.
The reason for this… is a bit indescribable.
Tao Huainan reached into the quilt and tugged at his trousers. The boy’s most tender and squeamish part felt a little pain in the touch of the fabric.
When the bowl of noodles was spilled, there was a small piece next to it, which was shaken off by Tao Huainan. Brother and Chi Cheng both looked at the large red patch on their legs, and didn’t even notice that the lonely and fragile part not far away was also glowing with an inconspicuous red.
Tao Huainan turned over again and pulled his pants again, trying to change his posture so that the pants wouldn’t touch there.
Still tossing? Chi Cheng opened his eyes and looked at him, but he could only see the back of Tao Huainan’s head.
Tao Huainan closed his eyes and was in pain. He couldn’t hold back when he was told, “You can just sleep with you… I won’t delay your sleep if I turn it over.”
Chi Cheng didn’t say anything, just looked at he.
After Tao Huainan finished speaking, he also felt that something was wrong, alas, it was just annoying. It’s not that the pain is unbearable, but it’s just pulling the heart, there is always a nerve reminding me that it hurts a little, and I can’t touch my pants.
Chi Cheng didn’t speak for a while, Tao Huainan was a little empty, but he turned around honestly after a while. Afraid that Chi Cheng would be angry, he couldn’t explain why he didn’t speak properly just now. He opened and closed his mouth several times. Finally, he gave up and broke the jar and said, “I hurt.”
Chi Cheng asked, “Where does it hurt?”
“Just there!” Tao Huainan covered his face with his arms, and his voice came out muffled, “Just there.”
