Returning late to see the present (28) _1

“Brother Xu Chi.”

She walked over and pulled him out of his thoughts.

Xu Chi turned to look at her and smiled. this coffee is not bad.

He raised his glass.

I brought the coffee beans back from Australia. If you like them, I’ll get some for you later.

Xu Chi did not refuse. thank you in advance.

Goldy said that there was no need. It looked out of the window behind him. It was snowing heavily and the whole town had become quiet and deserted.

“I heard last night that the winter scenery here is pretty good. Why don’t we go out for a walk?”

“Alright,” he said.

After Xu Chi finished his coffee, he picked up the black woolen coat on the back of the chair and put it on. He was afraid of the cold today, so he specially wore a Long Down Jacket when he went downstairs. He covered himself tightly like a small dumpling.

The snow on the streets had been cleared early in the morning. Everyone was hiding in their warm houses, and there was almost no one on the road.

The two of them walked along the street toward the scenic Area. No one was clearing the snow here, so it felt like the ground sank a few centimeters when they stepped on it.

Xu Chi was afraid that she would fall, so he reached out and held her arm. be careful.

Goldy raised its head and met his eyes that reflected a piece of white snow. There seemed to be warmth flowing in his eyes, and the strength in his arms was as tight as steel.

“I can walk on my own, it’s fine.”

She said it so confidently that Xu Chi could only let go even if he was still worried. walk slowly. There are more potholes in this area.

He had been here for a walk before it snowed, so he was familiar with this place.

“I know. I’ve lived here for so long, so I know better than you.” Goldy stepped back on the snow and said in high spirits, ” “Besides, I’m already an adult, you’re still afraid of me?”

Before he could finish his words, he slipped and fell backward.

Goldy landed on the ground and faced the gray sky. It only felt that everything in front of it was pale. The next second, all that was left was endless darkness.

Xu Chi’s face tensed up and he quickly walked over. Goldy, are you okay? ”

Goldy didn’t say anything. It just covered its face with its hands, and its entire shoulder was trembling.

Xu Chi thought she had fallen somewhere and was extremely nervous. He took out his cell phone and was about to make a call. Goldy, don’t be afraid. I’ll call the ambulance now. It’ll be fine, Wanwan.

She fell on her back and was afraid of hitting her head. Xu Chi didn’t dare to touch her easily and decided to call an ambulance to be safe.

“Brother Xu Chi, don’t call the ambulance.”

A weak voice came through the gaps between his fingers.

Xu Chi paused in the middle of making the call. aren’t you going to call the ambulance? ”

Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu ” she put down her hand but did not dare to look at Xu Chi. Instead, she turned over slowly like a turtle and lay directly on the snow. She said aggrievedly, ” “Embarrassing, this is really embarrassing, wuwuwuwu”

Xu Chi frowned. He didn’t expect the little girl to be thinking about this at this time. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Goldy, your health is the most important. You must tell me if you’re feeling unwell. If you hit your head, you must go to the hospital, understand? ”

Goldy’s face was pressed against his arm. She turned her head slightly to look at him and pouted her lips. I didn’t hit my head. I just fell and hurt my darling.

The word ‘butt’ was really hard to say.

Xu Chi looked at her small, snow-white face that was gradually turning red. He seemed to realize something and turned his eyes to her perky. I’ve learned first aid overseas. If you don’t mind, I can help you check. If there’s really no problem, we won’t go to the hospital.

Goldy thought about how awkward that position was. It bit its lip and shook its head desperately.

“Then let’s go to the hospital.”

This time, she shook her head even more.

Xu Chi took a deep breath and tried to persuade him patiently, ” Goldy, you didn’t hurt your head. If you fell, the problem with your tailbone can be big or small. If you really hurt yourself and don’t go to the hospital, you’ll be paralyzed in the future. You’ll have to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair.

The little girl, who originally still wanted to keep her face, looked a little shaken.

“Don’t worry, brother a sui won’t laugh at you.” Xu Chi’s low voice was wrapped with warmth in the cold wind. I often took care of you when you were young, right? ”

Goldy’s embarrassed and uneasy eyes met his deep eyes, and slowly dispelled its doubts.

Xu Chi saw that she seemed to have silently agreed and reached out to check her through the down jacket. if it hurts, tell me. Don’t hold it in.

Goldy bit its lip and nodded.

“Does it hurt here?”

Goldy shook its head.

“Does it hurt here?”

He still shook his head.

“What about this place?”

hiss, hiss, hiss, it hurts! she gasped.

“My tailbone isn’t injured. It should be just a muscle strain.” Xu Chi heaved a sigh of relief. I’ll help you up now. Try to stand up.

It was easy to get sick if one lay on the snow for too long.

Goldy stood up slowly with his help. It lowered its head because it felt too embarrassed.

Xu Chi gently dusted off the snowflakes on her body. He held her arm with one hand and let her lean on Him. are you feeling well? ” Do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

She shook her head.

Other than the pain in her butt, the rest of her body was fine.

“I’ll carry you back.”

Goldy looked up at him and bit her red lips without saying a word.

Xu Chi raised his hand and used his slender fingers to brush away the snowflakes in his black hair. His voice was gentle as he said, “it’s alright. Do you still have to be afraid of embarrassing yourself in front of brother ah sui?”

Why wasn’t she afraid of embarrassing herself in front of him?

Do you remember when you came to the canvass lunar abode with your aunt when you were a child? the first gift you gave me was ...

“Brother Xu Chi!”

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the bashful little girl. can you not mention your dark history? ”

The matter of her drawing a map on Xu Chi the first time she met him had been mentioned many times over the years. It was simply the shame of her life.

Xu Chi knew that the little girl was thin-skinned, so he didn’t continue to mention it. come, I’ll carry you back.

He turned around and squatted down in front of her.

Goldy hesitated for a moment, but it still bent over and lay on his back.

Xu Chi held her leg with both hands and jolted it up gently. it doesn’t hurt, does it? ”

Goldy replied in a muffled voice, ” it doesn’t hurt.

Only then did Xu Chi start to walk back.

The snow on the ground was very thick, and every step he took was very steady. The air he exhaled from his nose floated to Goldy’s hands, as if it wanted to invade her skin and numb her heart.

The last time she was carried back by him was a few years ago, in the countryside. That night, she confessed to him but was rejected.

He thought that would be the last time they would meet in this life.

Who would have thought that a few years later, she would still be lying on his back, looking at the back of his head, his ears, and feeling his every breath?

“Today, today, today, I’m sorry.”

As they walked, Xu Chi suddenly called out to her.

Goldy pulled itself out of its memories and muttered, ” yes. in the freezing cold, it heard his voice accompanied by the hot air.
