After Being Bent by Reader

Murong Shi probably seldom takes the initiative to care about people, her expression is unnatural, her tone is blunt, and her movements are also blunt.

She stuffed things to Xu Chuanchuan without saying hello, Xu Chuanchuan reached out to pick it up slowly, but missed nothing, watching the plastic bag "baji" fall to the ground.

Both of them couldn't react to the unexpected situation. They looked at each other speechlessly and squatted down almost at the same time.

With a "boom", the foreheads of the two people bumped into each other without accident.It's not heavy, but Xu Chuanchuan feels dizzy even more.

When she was dazed, Murong Shi had already picked up the plastic bag, and wanted to give Xu Chuan a new string, but found that her eyes were clear and her expression was a little dull.

Murong Shi paused, then suddenly stretched out her hand to Xu Chuanchuan's forehead.

Xu Chuanchuan's eyes widened suddenly.

But fortunately, Murong Shi retracted her hand after touching it, frowned, and said, "It's quite hot." She pointed to the bag in her hand, "There's not only medicine but also a thermometer inside."

Sure enough, people tend to be vulnerable when they get sick. Xu Chuanchuan temporarily forgot the unpleasant things with Murong Shi. She took the plastic bag and said thank you softly.

Murong Shi heard that there was something wrong with her throat, glanced at her dry lips, and asked, "Is your throat uncomfortable?"

More than uncomfortable, Xu Chuanchuan didn't even dare to do the most basic swallowing movements now. She tried to avoid talking less and just nodded.

Murong Shi said helplessly: "How much did you eat last night?"

Xu Chuanchuan pointed to the full trash can next to the coffee table in the living room, trying to laugh but couldn't help it.

Murong Shi went in to check, was silent, and said, "Blame me, I left in a hurry yesterday and forgot to tell you what Aunt Lian ordered."

Xu Chuanchuan touched his nose embarrassingly.

Murong Shi sighed, stared at the refrigerator and asked, "Is there any more?"

Xu Chuanchuan nodded.

"Bring me a bowl."

Xu Chuanchuan's bowl was a super-sized fresh-keeping box, she thought Murong Shi wanted to eat lychees, so she hurried to the room to take out the bowl used to eat watermelon yesterday, suddenly she felt embarrassed.

The bowl has not been washed yet, and there is red watermelon juice in it. If the air conditioner hadn't been turned on all the time, it would have gone rancid long ago.

She faltered: "I...I only have this bowl..."

Murong Shi didn't seem to dislike it, she took the bowl away without saying a word, turned around and went into the bathroom.When she came out, she saw that Xu Chuanchuan was still standing stupidly, and reminded her, "Are you not feeling well? Hurry up and take your temperature and take your medicine."

"Oh……"

Murong Shi opened the refrigerator, took out a handful of lychees from the refrigerator, peeled them carefully, put the pulp one by one on the bowl cover, and threw the lychee skin into the bowl.

Xu Chuanchuan was very puzzled: "What are you doing?"

"Boiled lychee peels can dispel fire. I saw Aunt Lian did it last night." Murong Shi took the time to glance at her, "Why don't you take your temperature?"

Xu Chuanchuan opened the plastic bag only to find that what Murong Shi gave her was an electronic thermometer, which she had used before, either clipped under her arm or put it in her mouth.But when she thought that Murong Shi had used this thing before, she hesitated and didn't know what to do.

She pointed to the thermometer and said hesitantly, "How did you measure it before?"

"In your mouth. You don't know how to use it?"

"Yes, but yes..."

"What's the problem then?"

"No... no problem..."

He said it was okay, but Xu Chuanchuan didn't move.She is still struggling.

As if realizing her concerns, Murong Shi stopped her movements and said expressionlessly, "First, you should know that I don't have bad breath."

Xu Chuanchuan: "Uh..." She knows it, but there's no need to emphasize it at this time, right?

Because of what Murong Shi said, Xu Chuanchuan felt that his whole body was on fire.

But Murong Shi looked very calm, and said to her solemnly: "Second, there is a bottle of alcohol in it, you should sterilize it first before using it."

Xu Chuanchuan opened the plastic bag, only to find that there were indeed alcohol and medical cotton inside.While wiping the probe, she stared at Murong Shi's expression, hesitated to speak.

Murong Shi focused on peeling the lychee without looking at her.

Xu Chuanchuan thought to himself: Since Murong Shi had held this thing in her mouth, of course she was embarrassed to stuff it under her armpit.

But if this thing is put directly into her mouth... She feels that it is like kissing Murong Shi indirectly...

It's over, her brain is burnt out, why does she think about this? !

Fortunately, Murong Shi didn't notice her.

Dazed, Xu Chuanchuan wiped the thermometer over and over again. After wiping, she carefully put the probe into her mouth, her tongue was suppressed, and she couldn't speak for a while.

She quietly watched Murong Shi peel the lychees.

Murong Shi's hands are beautiful, her fingers are long and slender, her nails are round and shiny with a healthy luster, her skin is fair, and no hairs can be seen from a close look.Such a pair of hands is enough to be a hand model.

Xu Chuanchuan couldn't help stretching out her hand to look at it. Compared with Murong Shi's hand, she felt that hers were chicken feet.

The beauty peels the lychee, and it can be painted with just one shot.Creamy hands peeled off the white and fat lychees, no matter how you look at it, it is pleasing to the eye, Xu Chuanchuan was stunned when he looked at it.

Murong Shi peeled a dozen lychees in one go, then pinched a lychee and stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it carefully, narrowed her eyes slightly, with a look of enjoyment on her face.

Xu Chuanchuan unconsciously followed her movements and swallowed her saliva, which made her throat dry and sore, and she grinned.

Murong Shi didn't notice anything strange about her, she reached out with the tip of her tongue, spit out the small fruit core in the palm of her hand, and when she threw it into the trash can, she found that Xu Chuanchuan was staring at her for a moment.

The color of Murong Shi's eyes changed, and she quickly regained her composure, asking, "Why do you keep looking at me?"

Xu Chuanchuan's mind was instantly brought back to reality by her words, he shook his not sober head, and lowered his head in a concealed manner.

Murong Shi obviously misunderstood what she meant, and said self-consciously: "If you want to eat, you have to endure it, and wait until you recover from illness."

It was inconvenient to talk with a thermometer in his mouth, so Xu Chuanchuan slowed down and said vaguely: "I'm just curious about how many you want to peel off."

Murong Shi actually understood, looked at the lychee skins in the bowl, and said, "It's almost there." She stood up to wash it.

Xu Chuanchuan also stood up reflexively.

Just when Murong Shi turned around, the two almost bumped into each other again.

Murong Shi looked normal, and asked her: "Is there a pot?"

Xu Chuanchuan shook his head, suddenly had an idea, and pointed to the hot water bottle next to him.

"Use this?" Murong Shi thought for a while, "It should be fine."

If it wasn't for the thermometer in his mouth, Xu Chuanchuan really wanted to say to her: "I can do it myself, and I don't need to trouble you."

But Murong Shi didn't even look at her and went into the bathroom again.

Xu Chuanchuan followed closely, tentatively trying to take the things in her hand.

Murong Shi unceremoniously blocked her hand, and at the same time glared at her, saying: "I don't steal anything, so don't follow me all the time, can you?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "..."

Murong Shi turned on the faucet and added: "If you are sick, stay well."

Xu Chuanchuan returned to the living room in desperation, sat there blankly, and let his drowsy brain start to think wildly.

Everyone is at work at this point, no one should have noticed when Murong Shi came up, right?She was really afraid that others would misunderstand her relationship with Murong Shi, especially after the forced kiss incident, every time she got along with Murong Shi, she walked on eggshells.

Putting her work aside, Murong Shi came here just to take care of her?

Xu Chuanchuan didn't know why Murong Shi was so nice to her all of a sudden, and she wasn't so narcissistic that she thought Murong Shi had other purposes for her, because she couldn't think of a suitable reason, so she fidgeted.

When Murong Shi came out with the washed lychee peels, the time was just right, and Xu Chuanchuan took out the thermometer.Before she could take a look at it, the thermometer was taken away by Murong Shi.

It's still stained with her saliva...

Murong Shi's movements are so natural, so natural that Xu Chuanchuan has a feeling that they have a good relationship.

Murong Shi looked at the number displayed on it and said, "38 degrees, take two pills first."

Of course that was just a momentary illusion.

Just now when I was looking at the time, I accidentally saw the previous call record. Xu Chuanchuan thought about it and asked, "How do you know I'm sick?"

Murong Shi put the washed lychee skins into the kettle, and said casually: "I called your landline to remind you not to eat too much lychees at once. Someone picked it up. He told me that you had a fever and asked for leave."

Xu Chuanchuan understood clearly, came back to his senses, and took two pills out.

She checked the temperature of the water in the cup and found that the water was still boiling hot.She didn't usually have the habit of storing bottled water, but she suddenly remembered the time she saw Murong Shi swallowing the pills dry, so she tried to put a pill in her mouth.

But she forgot that she was getting very angry now, and her throat felt uncomfortable like smoke. She couldn't squeeze out the extra saliva at all. Halfway through swallowing, the medicine was stuck in her throat, and it couldn't go up or down.

Xu Chuanchuan pinched her throat and coughed violently, Murong Shi looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Xu Chuanchuan was speechless, and his face turned red after a while.She felt as if she was going to die, so she jumped up and rushed into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, ignored the three seven and twenty one, took a cup of water and drank it, and finally swallowed the medicine.

When she swallowed the second pill, she suddenly heard Murong Shi say: "Take medicine with raw water, are you crazy?"

Xu Chuanchuan felt ashamed, with a blushing face, he lied casually: "Accidentally choked just now..."

Murong Shi didn't say anything.

It's a shame, I feel like my IQ has dropped again when I have a fever.Xu Chuanchuan took advantage of the situation and washed his face to cool himself down.

The lychee peels had already been put into the kettle and burned. Murong Shi seemed to have completed the task, wiped the water off her hands with a paper towel, and said, "Take a good rest, remember to drink plenty of hot water, and don't turn on the air conditioner too much. Don't eat lychees for a few days."

Xu Chuanchuan listened carefully like a primary school student waiting for the teacher to assign her homework, and said with her hoarse and broken voice, "Thank you."

Murong Shi's expression was dull: "I'm leaving."

Xu Chuanchuan stood up and wanted to see her off.

Murong Shi turned around unexpectedly, stared straight at her face, and said, "I just feel sorry for what I did to you before. I didn't think about it, so don't get me wrong."

The doubts in my heart were finally answered, but Xu Chuanchuan was confused by such straightforward language.Fortunately, she has a fever now, and she can't see any embarrassment or embarrassment.She lowered her head and said hoarsely, "I know."

After Murong Shi left, Xu Chuanchuan went back to the room and lay down.

I don't know if the drug had a hypnotic effect, but she quickly fell asleep.However, she didn't sleep very deeply, because her body was hot and sweating all the time, she wanted to get up to drink water several times, but her body was so limp that she couldn't control herself at all.

I don't know how long it has been in a daze, as if I heard someone knocking on the door outside.

Xu Chuanchuan struggled several times, but still couldn't open his eyes, so he could only lie on the bed and continue to pretend to be dead.

The knock on the door didn't last long, and Xu Chuanchuan didn't care about it anymore, and continued to sleep deeply with the quilt in his arms.

Then she had a dream.I dreamed that someone pushed open the door of her room, and the rhythmic sound of "dong dong dong" high-heeled shoes was getting closer.There was a burst of fragrance, and someone approached the bed, paused for a while, then bent down and called her name softly.

In his sleep, Xu Chuanchuan unconsciously hummed in response.

Immediately, he felt a cold hand on her forehead, checking her body temperature, and at the same time helping her to wipe off the sweat from her head.

When that hand was taken away, the comfortable cold touch also disappeared. Xu Chuanchuan felt a little bit reluctant, but she couldn't move.

Although she kept her eyes closed, she always felt a burning gaze silently watching her.

The familiar voice sounded again, softly calling her name: "Xu Chuanchuan, get up and eat something before going to bed."

Xu Chuanchuan still didn't respond.

The man seemed to have lost his patience, and stretched out his hand to "slap" her cheek.

Xu Chuanchuan tried several times but couldn't wake up until she felt pain on her cheeks, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes gradually focused, and she saw a person squatting halfway in front of her bed, his slender eyes quietly looked at her without any emotion, as if he had been watching her for a long time.

When he realized that the person in front of him was Murong Shi, Xu Chuanchuan was taken aback, and his body bounced up, but because he didn't have much strength, the force of that blow was negligible.

She blinked hard to make sure that she did not have hallucinations, and the person in front of her was indeed Murong Shi.

So, she wasn't dreaming just now...

Murong Shi broke the silence, and before she could ask a question, she took the initiative to explain: "You didn't respond after knocking on the door for a long time, so I used the key to come in by myself."

Xu Chuanchuan was not fully awake yet, and stared at her blankly.

Murong Shi put the thermos bucket in her hand on the bedside table, and said, "I asked Aunt Lian to cook porridge for you. You can eat a little first, and then take the medicine once you finish eating."

It was delivering medicine and food, Xu Chuanchuan couldn't tell what it was like.She got up slowly, picked up her phone and looked at it, and found that it was already lunch time.She didn't feel hungry at all.

She suddenly thought of something: "Have you eaten?"

Murong Shi said lightly: "Not yet. Mine is below, use it yourself."

Murong Shi turned around to leave, but Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly said, "Thank you."

"Yeah." Murong Shi didn't turn her head back, "It's still the same as before, don't get me wrong."

"I know . . . I'm not mistaken."

The mouth was dry and bitter, Xu Chuanchuan had no appetite, but Aunt Lian's mustard porridge with lean meat was delicious, and she didn't know what condiments were added, it smelled delicious.

After eating porridge and taking medicine, Xu Chuanchuan climbed into bed again.

At around four o'clock, Xu Chuanchuan was completely awake.The sweat on his body has been evaporated, except for some fatigue, he is in good spirits.She took her temperature and found that the fever had subsided.

The water in which the lychee skins were boiled has cooled completely, the color looks strange, and the taste is a bit harsh.It didn't taste good, but after all, it was cooked for her by Murong Shi herself, and she couldn't live up to her wishes, so Xu Chuanchuan drank the whole pot of water.

When she was about to leave work, she thought for a long time and decided to call Murong Shi.

"Dududu-"

It took a long time for the phone to connect, Xu Chuanchuan cleared his throat and said, "I have a fever."

Murong Shi never talked nonsense, and said succinctly: "That's good."

"Thank you so much for today."

"You're welcome."

"That... porridge is delicious. Thank you, Aunt Lian, for me. I'll return the thermos to you tomorrow after I've cleaned it."

"Ah."

After only saying these few words, Xu Chuanchuan's palms began to sweat again.She put down her phone and let out a sigh of relief.

Xu Xiangxiang heard that she had a fever and came to see her at night.

Xu Chuanchuan blocked her outstretched hand: "Don't touch it, it's ready."

Xu Xiangxiang looked at her pale face and sighed: "It's so pitiful, I live alone, and no one takes care of me when I'm sick."

Xu Chuanchuan didn't have the nerve to tell her that Murong Shi has been taking care of herself today, and deliberately changed the topic: "There are a lot of lychees in the refrigerator, you can take them back and share them with your classmates."

"Wow, so much!"

"You take more."

Since the forced kiss incident, every time Xu Chuanchuan went to find Murong Shi, he was sneaky.There's no way, Aunt Lian's thermos is too big, if she doesn't hide from others, she won't be able to explain clearly when asked.

After Linda asked for leave, Murong Shi's office became even more deserted. As soon as Xu Chuanchuan entered, she was shocked by the air-conditioning.

Murong Shi, who heard the movement, put down the work in hand, raised her head, and examined her face: "It seems to be completely recovered."

Xu Chuanchuan said "um" in a low voice: "I've finished washing the thermos."

"Leave it alone."

Xu Chuanchuan put the thermos bucket on the coffee table, looked at Murong Shi secretly, and found that she was still sitting still, couldn't hold back for a while: "Are you still off work?"

Murong Shi took a pen and wrote something "swish" on the paper without raising her head: "I still have something to do."

Xu Chuanchuan shouldn't have bothered her, so he pondered for a moment and asked her, "Do you still want that thermometer?"

Murong Shi stopped to look at her, raised her eyebrows: "Do you want to keep it as a souvenir?"

"Cough - no." Xu Chuanchuan pretended to look away, "I forgot to take it off, I will return it to you tomorrow."

In fact, she wanted to buy another one and give it back to Murong Shi, but she was busy and forgot about it today.

Murong Shi said: "No need, I rarely have a fever, and usually I don't need it."

Xu Chuanchuan: "..." I rarely have a fever.

This is the end of the conversation, Xu Chuanchuan can't say anything more, she slightly bowed and said, "I won't disturb your work."

He was walking out lightly, when he suddenly heard Murong Shi say, "Could you please pour me a glass of water?"

Xu Chuanchuan's heartbeat missed half a beat, he collected himself and turned around: "Yes."

Murong Shi has always had the habit of drinking coffee, and there are coffee residues in the cup, Xu Chuanchuan went to wash the cup first, took the water and sent it to Murong Shi.

"Thank you."

During the handover, the hands of the two people inevitably touched each other.The air conditioner was turned on, Murong Shi's hands were very cold, the contrast between hot and cold was obvious, Xu Chuanchuan's fingers curled up as if they were frozen.

She stood awkwardly: "Is there anything else I need to do?"

Murong Shi took a sip of water unhurriedly, and answered the irrelevant question: "This is an office, people will come in at any time, I won't do anything to you, and you don't have to be so nervous."

Xu Chuanchuan didn't expect her to say this, and opened his mouth slightly, not knowing how to answer.

What Murong Shi said next shocked her even more.

The lipstick on her lips was wiped off by the water, Murong Shi took out a paper towel and wiped it slowly, finally crumpled the paper towel and threw it into the trash can, saying: "I have a crush on you, but since you don't want to, I I won't force you again."

"..." Xu Chuanchuan was surprised.She regretted running slowly just now, what should she do now?

She couldn't understand Murong Shi at all. Since she always acted so indifferent every time, why did she bring up these embarrassing topics again and again?

Just like yesterday, originally Xu Chuanchuan was just skeptical and didn't have any complicated thoughts, but Murong Shi repeatedly emphasized to her: "Don't misunderstand."

Murong Shi was still drinking water leisurely, with an elegant appearance as if she was drinking some top-quality coffee.

Xu Chuanchuan was very unhappy.

This person is always like this, doing some inexplicable things, saying some inexplicable words, and she is not affected at all, but in the end she is at a loss.

Since he was not an opponent, Xu Chuanchuan decided to pretend that he couldn't hear anything.She lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "Go ahead."

Just after staying with Murong Shi for a while, she was so nervous that her palms sweated and her heart beat faster.It must be because the nerves are still weak at the time of illness.

I don't know what amazing words Murong Shi will say if I stay any longer, so Xu Chuanchuan leaves in a hurry.

Can't hear, can't see, so the heart will not be confused.
