Lu Yuanyuan sat down on the edge of her bed and laid down smoothly on the quilt.
Her face, pressed against the soft cotton cloth, was still as warm as before.

    – “I’m not afraid of pain.”

    – “Don’t you worry.”

    His voice, through the phone speaker, was more magnetic than the radio anchor’s voice she listened to with headphones.
She hadn’t felt anything when they were calling just now, probably because what he’d said had more impact.

    The aftereffects seemed to be appearing now.
The two sentences played once more in her ears.

    Lu Yuanyuan immediately threw her phone away, her hands covering her ears that were beginning to numb and tingle a bit.
She rolled her whole body under the quilt, burying her head down.

    Ah!

    Why were the words he said so misleading ah!

    Which of her words had that meaning…?!

    Her hands were still over her ears.
After waiting for a few minutes, the temperature on her face still hadn’t dropped.

    Senior was definitely not in his right mind tonight, thought Lu Yuanyuan.

  **

    Su Lin was indeed not very good.

    This month after school started, his roommates’ desire to rank up was unusually strong.
He buried his head to play the game for long periods of time.
Playing for a few hours, his neck would begin to ache.

    However, when playing the game, lifting his head and rotating his neck would be able to relieve the pain.
This game attracted a person’s attention too strongly; he hadn’t cared too much about a little neck pain.

    However, because the orientation party was coming up, he recently had to sit for hours practicing the piano.

    Each time, after 40 or 50 minutes, his shoulders and neck hurt like crazy, hurting like thin needles stabbing into his muscles, and the pain was constant and persistent.

    He had been tortured for a week already.

    That day, on the way back after sending her upstairs at the elevator, he began to think up an excuse to pick her up.

    The idea popped into his head while playing the piano on Saturday, and he instantly sent a WeChat to Grandpa Lu.

    When he arrived at Lu Yuanyuan’s door again, he rang the doorbell and suddenly had a feeling that he was already extremely familiar with the place.

    It was Old Zhongyi Lu who opened the door for him.
After entering, he didn’t see anyone else in the house and was taken directly to the same place where he used to get acupuncture.

    In fact, after several acupuncture sessions for his last headache, he felt that traditional medicine was a magical thing.
For example, needles could enter the body without drawing blood, then poking somewhere could make half of his body go numb.

    So, he was still quite willing to try cupping.

    Except, there was one thing he never wanted to touch again.

    Traditional medicine.

    Toxic poison.
Too damn hard to drink.

    Lu Yuanyuan was still in a bit of a daze when she first opened her eyes.

    She stared at the ceiling for a while before her brain slowly cleared and her memory began to come back.

    Today was Sunday, she took a nap, and now it was 3 p.m.

    Afternoon…

    It seemed like Su Lin was coming.

    She sat up, casually smoothed her hair, got out of bed, and slipped on her slippers to go outside.

    Her hands were on the door handle.

    After thinking about it, she went back to her closet and changed into clothes for going out before walking to the door again.

    She had just pushed open the door and met a line of sight.

    Su Lin sat on the white sofa.
He was wearing a black long-sleeved t-shirt today.
The afternoon sunlight sprinkled on his face, making a line from the tall bridge of his nose, leaving his face half bright and half dark.

    They looked at each other for a long time.

    He smiled at her very lightly: “Morning.”

    Lu Yuanyuan: “…”

    Good morning.
What good morning ah?!

    Perhaps the speechlessness in her expression was too obvious.
He stood up and directly got up and walked to her, standing still and lowered his eyes: “When will we go?”

    His attitude was the same as usual.

    It was as if the voice call didn’t happen last night.

   … Was she the only one who thought that those two sentences were really… too ambiguous?

    “… Now.” Lu Yuanyuan didn’t look away, “I’ll get my bag, and then talk to my grandparents.”

    He nodded: “Mm, I’ll wait for you.”

  -

    Old Zhongyi Lu had persisted in using medicinal oil and massaging, so although the process was painful, Lu Yuanyuan’s injured foot could already touch the ground.
So now, she could already attempt to limp-walk.

    As a matter of course, there was no need for a certain someone to carry her.

    A certain someone was a little annoyed.

    Leaving the entrance, he watched the little girl walk with uneven footsteps, staring seriously at the road in front of her, not noticing his eyes on her in the least.

    The long black hair, from time to time, a few strands would fall and touch her face.
Maybe because it tickled, the strands would be immediately tucked back.

    He suddenly remembered that on Friday night, she actually advised him not to do cupping because it hurt too much.
She said she would help him talk to her grandfather.

   … Alright.

    He looked away and couldn’t help but hook his lips into a smile.

    Leaving the neighborhood and until they took a taxi back to the school, Su Lin didn’t know why but Lu Yuanyuan was completely different from how she was on Friday.
Whatever he asked her, she would answer, but they were all to the point, answered in the simplest way possible, without saying a word more.

    It was like she was… throwing a tantrum?

    But what was she throwing about?

    Did he do something?

    Without giving him time to figure out clearly, the two had gotten out of the car and had walked for a while.
Entering the school gate, they moved at turtle speed to the bikeport.

    Su Lin entered the bikeport and wheeled the bike out, stopping in front of her.
He then kicked down the bike stand, and the bike stood firmly on the ground.

    He lowered his head to look at her: “Go up.”

    Lu Yuanyuan nodded: “Okay.”

    Lu Yuanyuan stood on her tiptoes, lifted her other leg, and tried to shift her butt onto the pink car seat- and then failed.

    She tried again.

    Another failure.

    Her waist was at the same height as the edge of the bike seat.
Trying to raise her butt to the height of the car seat didn’t seem to be achievable with the little extra height from being on tiptoes.

   … Because her legs were too short.
