You are like the warm sun

Chapter 15 Don’t you feel any pain?

Tang Wan used iodine to clean his wound before taking gauze to bandage it carefully.

Neither of them spoke, and the living room was so quiet that you could hear their breathing.

Shao Zhouci was sitting there nonchalantly when suddenly a drop of warm water fell onto his palm. He was startled and looked down, only to find it was her tear.

He moved his bony fingers lightly, and tears melted in his palms.

She bandaged him silently, her long curled eyelashes covering her misty and watery eyes, and she shed tears silently.

He was puzzled, and there was a hint of confusion in his gentle tone: "Why... are you crying?"

"You..." Tang Wan choked up as she spoke. She paused, pursed her lips, and after adjusting her emotions, she asked him in a muffled voice, "Don't you feel any pain?"

pain.

Of course it hurts.

But even if he cried out in pain, no one would pay attention, so he didn't know when he stopped crying out in pain. They say that crying children get candy, but who would give him a candy if he cried?
Looking at the white gauze wrapped around his wrist, at this moment, Shao Zhouci suddenly felt a hint of anticipation.

What would she do if he said it hurt?

For some unknown reason, he murmured, "It hurts."

The girl frowned, and heartache was visible between her delicate eyebrows, but two words came out from her lips.

"Deserved it."

"..."

He lowered his head: "Oh."

I can’t say I feel lost, but instead I feel a faint, indescribable emotion in my heart.

Tang Wan glanced at him, confiscated the fruit knife on the coffee table, put the remaining cotton swabs and gauze back into the medicine box in an orderly manner, and then put the medicine box back in its place.

After everything was cleaned up, the two looked at each other in the living room, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

It was already 8:30 in the evening, but the girl showed no intention of leaving.

"Shao Zhouci, have you had dinner?"

Shao Zhouci looked at his bandaged wrist and remained silent.

But Tang Wan could guess that he definitely wasn't in the mood to eat after returning. After a moment's deliberation, she tentatively asked, "I'm a little hungry. Can I borrow your kitchen?"

After sitting for a while, seeing that he neither agreed nor refused, Tang Wan rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the refrigerator.

As soon as I opened the refrigerator, a rotten smell hit me. Inside was a bag of rotting vegetables and three eggs, some of which were probably rotten or not, and who knew how long they had been there. The largest item in the fridge was mineral water, filling up most of the space, along with three bottles of soft drinks.

Tang Wan stood in front of the refrigerator for a long time, and finally closed the refrigerator door helplessly, looking towards the living room, "Shao Zhouci, don't you have anything to eat at home?"

The young man looked up when he heard the voice, and his light eyes looked towards her.

Just when she thought he wouldn't answer, he slowly pointed her in a direction, "The kitchen."

Tang Wan was a little surprised and immediately went into the kitchen to look for ingredients with great anticipation. She discovered that what he called food was just a nearly empty box of instant noodles.

Does he usually eat instant noodles?
She rubbed her brows and sighed, then decisively took out her phone and ordered two takeouts. Then she sat on the sofa and stared at the pale-faced boy opposite her.

He leaned against the sofa with his eyes closed, looking lifeless.

The living room was silent.

Twenty minutes later, the takeaway arrived.

Tang Wan got up, opened the door, and brought in two takeouts.

After sitting down, she tore open the disposable chopsticks, opened one of the meals, and placed them in front of him one by one. "I ordered one for you, eat some. It would be a waste if you don't eat it."

He hadn't eaten anything at noon. Even an iron man would get hungry after a day.

Shao Zhouci watched her actions blankly. The aroma of food filled the room, making him feel a little dazed.

He hasn't eaten with anyone in... a long time.

Tang Wan looked at him without urging him. After a moment, he slowly moved to the edge of the sofa, reached out to pick up the chopsticks, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Seeing that he finally ate something, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The two finished their meal quietly, and Tang Wan packed up the garbage and placed it at the door.

When he came back, Shao Zhouci handed her a fifty-yuan bill.

Tang Wan: “?”

He said, "Meal money."

"Too much……"

His meal cost only twenty-five dollars.

The boy didn't listen to her and directly stuffed the money into her hand.

Tang Wan had no choice but to accept it.

She casually put the money into her coat pocket, and when she looked up, she saw the boy in front of her staring at her with no emotion in his eyes.

Tang Wan's heart beat quickly, "What's wrong?"

"It's late." He said coldly.

Tang Wan realized that he was trying to drive her away, but after seeing his hands covered in blood, she was still frightened and would definitely not leave tonight.

After some mental preparation, she coughed lightly, pinched her fingers and asked boldly: "Shao Zhouci, can I stay at your house tonight?"

When Shao Zhouci heard this, a look of astonishment appeared on his handsome face. Then he frowned seriously, thinking that she was going too far.

"No."
