Young Again

Chapter 133 I also want to be loved

Ten fingers connected to the heart.

This is what Shen Youyou had heard before.

They say pricking the finger hurts the most.

In an anti-Japanese TV series before, the Japanese tortured the protagonist by inserting bamboo sticks into his fingers. She felt terrified when she thought of that scene.

So when she graduated from junior high school and was about to go out to work, still in a garment factory, she was always worried about one thing, that is, getting her fingers pricked by the "whooshing" needles.

She imagined that it was a torture that would pierce her hands...

But it was different from what I imagined, because the moment the needle was inserted, it broke with a bang.

However, there is no difference.

She had always been afraid of this kind of thing, so when it really happened, the real pain would be doubled under the emotion of fear...

Tears suddenly came out.

Seeing her crying, the boss lady came over quickly, tore off the band-aid, and said with a smile: "It's okay, don't move your hands, I'll put it on for you. Oh, it's okay, everyone has been hit by a needle, basically several times every year."

"Yes, yes, don't be too scared, Youyou, it won't leave scars, you'll get used to it."

"Look, I got pricked last month and there's a hole on my nail."

At this time, the sister next to her also stretched out her hand to show her.

"..." But Shen Youyou couldn't hear these words at all in her mind. The pain she felt did not decrease.

Even though it actually doesn't hurt that much.

What she felt was like a piercing pain.

Panic deepened her pain.

It wasn't until her finger was wrapped with a Band-Aid that she was able to calm down a little.

Because looking at it this way, the blood is gone.

Therefore, the pain is not so concrete.

"I was just like you at first, I was scared and cried." At this time, the sister next to me comforted me, "But I heard that everyone has been pricked before, this is normal, it's okay."

"..." Shen Youyou looked at her, the sister who spoke so casually about such things, but she still didn't think that since everyone else had experienced it, this matter must be very common.

She still felt scared when she thought of that scene.

It was different from an ordinary fall. The terrible thing she had been worried about actually happened, and it really hurt. It hurt so much that after this experience, she would be even more afraid next time...

She couldn't get familiar with it, she couldn't get familiar with it.

Why should I be familiar with something that hurts so much?
"Youyou, take a break." At this time, the proprietress said to her, "Let's do it after dinner."

"..." Shen Youyou looked at her, not knowing what to say.

"I was pricked before, so I just put a Band-Aid on it and continued working." At this time, a dark-skinned girl said casually without even raising her head.

"You are thick-skinned and tough, but she is still a child. What is there to compare?" the girl next to her teased.

"... Yeah." Shen Youyou stood up, told the boss lady, and prepared to go back to her bedroom. But halfway, she stopped when she saw her fingers wrapped in band-aids, "I, I'm going to go out and buy some medicine."

Hearing this, other people in the factory looked over.

"It will be fine if you put a Band-Aid on it. It has an anti-inflammatory effect." The proprietress advised.

"It's really okay, Youyou, don't be afraid, it's just a small matter."

"I can't say it's small, but we've all been there. It won't get inflamed, don't worry."

Shen Youyou didn't know why, but she couldn't hear anything anyone said.

Instead, I feel a little...

bother.

So, she didn't obey and planned to walk towards the stairs: "I'd better go buy some medicine."

Her persistence made the others feel troublesome and pretentious.

"Okay then." The proprietress had no choice.

"Children are indeed more afraid of pain."

"I almost had the needle break in my finger before... but it really hurt at that time."

The more Shen Youyou listened to these sounds, the more annoyed she became.

The other hand couldn't help but clenched.

I didn't ask you to buy it for me.

I didn't waste your time.

Why are you talking about me!

Shen Youyou's expression didn't look good at all.

But before she left, she said nothing and left the factory alone.

But when she walked out the door and went down the stairs, she couldn't help herself.

I bit my lips and my nose felt a little sore.

Taking out her cell phone, her first reaction was to call her mother.

But she knew that as soon as the call was connected, she would burst into tears.

As I cried, I just wanted to go home.

But she also knew that she couldn't go home now and could only go home during the Chinese New Year holiday.

Otherwise, if I come back so early, people will gossip about me...

So the second person she thought of to talk to was Chen Wang.

It should say 'Chen Wang'.

The man she had been chatting with online, whom they all joked was her boyfriend.

But she was a little afraid.

The other person had obviously experienced more than he did. He went to Yuezhou alone a long time ago and did a lot of work. When he was delivering cakes, he was beaten by his boss because the cakes were crooked.

To him, this minor injury of his must be insignificant.

From the day he came to discuss business with the boss, it was clear that he had a special understanding of this industry. He must also know that being pricked by a needle is extremely common, and that if you react too strongly, you will be laughed at by your peers...

She was not afraid that Chen Wang would not comfort her.

She was just afraid, and Chen Wang tried to comfort herself like that.

But if she really said it, there was an 80% chance that what she was worried about would happen.

Shen Youyou put down her phone, went downstairs, and walked to the pharmacy. Her mind was in a mess, and she thought about everyone's reactions just now.

And she imagined Chen Wang's reaction. Then she suddenly realized that everyone would think that this was a normal thing, although painful.

Such an abnormal person...

it's me.

Looking at her fingers, she gradually realized that the pain was not that severe.

It seemed that it really only hurt at that moment.

What everyone said is right.

Shen Youyou hooked her finger and felt that it wouldn't have much of an impact if she rested for a while before going to work.

The wound will heal in a few days.

But, there was nothing wrong with me.

It was just the first time I encountered such a thing, and I was quite scared, so I had this reaction. I will be more careful when I work in the future. Even if it really happens, I will stop my feet in time... No, it happens, it will only hurt for a moment anyway, anyway... everyone has experienced it.

"ah!"

Suddenly, Shen Youyou heard a scream. She turned around and saw a girl wearing a white tweed coat and long hair kneeling on the ground.

I must have tripped over a bump and almost fell, but luckily I managed to hold on with my hands.

"Are you okay, baby?!" At this time, the boy next to her quickly helped her up.

"Wuwu..." The girl pouted and raised her palm, "My skin is broken. It hurts."

"Oh my, baby, that's pitiful. Let's go to the drugstore and apply some iodine and put a band-aid on it."

"I don't know where this obstacle comes from. It's really annoying..."

"Stupid idiot, it's okay, touch it."

As they were talking, the boy hugged the girl and touched her head.

Then, the two held hands and walked towards the drugstore.

Shen Youyou stood there, staring blankly for a long time.

He lowered his head again and looked at his finger that had just been pierced.

Finally, he raised his head again, looked at the two people's backs gradually going away, and remained silent for a long time.

Her poor vocabulary made her at a loss as to how to describe her current mood.

This feeling is indescribable.

Maybe if she studies hard, she will be like that girl?
But she knew that few girls in the village could even get into high school.

Her brain can only be considered average in it.

Therefore, I can't be her...

You can only be yourself.

Or, like those sisters in the factory.

Once again, looking at the finger wrapped in a band-aid, she took out her phone, opened QQ, and took a photo while sending a message to Chen Wang.

But when it came time to send it, she hesitated.

It looked like nothing happened.

So she canceled the send.

He tore off the bandage and looked at his bloodstained fingers and the dried gaps between his fingers.

Biting her lips lightly, she held the injured index finger of her right hand with her other hand, and then squeezed it hard, little by little.

The blood clot that had already solidified began to crack a little. Dark blood slowly flowed out. At this time, Shen Youyou's face was already somewhat painful, but she was still sickly strong...

……

When Chen Wang was reading the comments on the public account, suddenly, Shen Youyou's message came.

Directly, he clicked on the message.

Then, I saw a picture.

The picture shows a white and tender little hand, with a lot of blood oozing from the fingers.

What’s more, it’s the edge of the nail, which is the most painful place.

All of a sudden, his expression darkened.

Youyou: My finger was crushed by the needle

It turned out to be sewn by a sewing machine.

It's easy to do this job.

This must be her first time too.

This girl must have cried.

Chen Wang did not reply, but quit QQ and called her directly.

After a long while, the other party finally answered the call and stammered, "Why, why are you calling?"

"How is it? Does it still hurt now?" Chen Wang asked seriously.

“It hurts a lot…”

"It's so unlucky. I'm going to cry if I get pricked like this."

"I didn't cry..." Youyou said in a low voice, but pretended to be indifferent, "It's normal, everyone has been stabbed before."

"It still hurts, if it should."

"It hurts, it does hurt a little." Youyou tried to hold it together, but her tone gradually became bitter. "I want to put a band-aid on it, but I don't know if I should disinfect it. I use that needle every day, I don't know if it's dirty, and there's engine oil..."

"Let's go get the injection."

Before she finished speaking, Chen Wang interrupted her directly, and his tone was very serious.

In fact, most tailors experience this.

The solution is a Band-Aid.

The injection doesn't mean much.

but……

Chen Wang wanted to give Shen Youyou the care that was not given to her as a "low-level factory girl".

"Uh-huh."

Then, the person over there nodded with a crying tone and aggrieved look.
