Chapter 68: A Weekend of Injury (Part )
In the following time, Zhuo carefully cut open Ling's trouser legs, and then tore off the cloth from the wound.
Can you imagine the scene where the fabric has grown into the flesh and then is torn out?
Not to mention experiencing this kind of pain, as a bystander, even just watching it hurts!
——There is a kind of pain, called watching others tear off the dead skin on their fingernails, and then tearing off a large piece!!
He cut open the trouser legs and pulled the socks down to reveal his heels.
Whether it was the calf that was free of any excess fat but as smooth as milk, or the shocking wound on the ankle, they were all presented in front of Zhuo's eyes.
Disinfect with alcohol, apply medicine, find the location of the broken tendon, push them together, and then fix them with a bandage.
It was a very simple task, but Zhuo was sweating profusely while doing it.
I really admire the doctors who are in the operating room every day. This kind of scene is hard to accept even just by looking at it... So, it really deserves that doctors are called white angels.
When Zhuo stood up, wiping the sweat from her forehead and looking at Ling, she was still maintaining her previous posture, staring at the table in a daze.
It was as if that leg wasn't hers.
Zero didn't ask him for help directly, nor did he say that he couldn't call a doctor.
Zhuo didn't know the reason, nor did he want to know.
But he understood these clearly.
"I don't know much about medicine, but if you move around, the wound might get worse again. Although it may not be appropriate for me to say, it's better for you to stay still. Anyway..."
Zhuo paused: "...How about eating first?"
After he finished speaking, Zero's eyes finally moved, glancing at him briefly before looking away.
"……Thanks."
After hearing this, Zhuo wiped a handful of sweat beads from his chin and said with a smile: "どういたしまして~"
ps: duo yi da xi ma si dai ~ (Class representative, come on!)
Zhuo was still very happy to help her. The more such things he did, the less he owed Ling, and he would be able to more righteously reject Lu Mingze's olive branch in the future.
Zhuo brought a small stool and placed it next to Ling's legs.
Ling placed his injured leg on the bench to fix it. His facial expression remained unchanged, but he did not say anything to reject Zhuo's kindness. He just sat there obediently.
"It doesn't hurt as much anymore?"
Zero hesitated, "… a little better."
"So... dinner?"
"Ah."
Zero nodded.
Although she had no expression, her attitude had obviously softened a lot, which made Zhuo Qing breathe a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he was actually prepared to see Zero being bothered by physical contact.
Fortunately, it didn’t… or maybe it wasn’t revealed.
In short, don’t ever make that expression of being looked down upon by a beautiful girl again, because no man can stand it (seriously). Oh, maybe some people won’t…
But he certainly will.
After making sure that Ling's matter was over, Zhuo walked around the table, sat down on the sofa, and pushed the lunch box towards her.
"Get going, get going!"
"Ok?"
"Just don't look at me like that. I just like eating, but I'm not the only one who can eat. I can still do things like taking care of the wounded. I'm still a human being after all~"
After Ling placed her calves on the bench, it was inconvenient to move. So this time the food was placed closer to her so she could reach it.
Zero seemed to understand that he had no other intentions, so he accepted it frankly.
Zhuo, on the other hand, had to lean sideways and stretch out his arm to reach it. Fortunately, he had already eaten Master Yue's noodles, so he wasn't very hungry.
After having a meal,
"Although this may be a bit redundant, I'll still tell you... You don't have to prepare my breakfast tomorrow. I'll go out and buy it. Just have a good rest today. Is there anything you shouldn't eat?"
"……No."
"That's good. Good night."
“……”Zero did not reply.
Zhuo returned to the bedroom and prepared to go to bed.
What? What about Zero? No problem! Whatever you want to do!
If she wants to sleep on the sofa, she can sleep on the sofa. If she wants to go out, he won't stop her. Everything is excessive, as is too much. Being too attentive will make Ling think that he is trying to seduce her.
So forget it.
As for asking Ling to come to the bedroom and going to the sofa... Sorry again, he is not that asshole. Besides, this kind of asshole is not only greasy to him, but probably Ling will also feel the same way.
So it's best to keep the same distance as before. That's it, good night SpongeBob.
...
...
The next day when Zhuo walked out of the room, Ling was indeed sleeping on the sofa.
She seemed to have not moved at all since she left last night. She was still sitting at the other end of the sofa with one leg on the stool.
The only change was probably that her back sunk into the pillow.
Zhuo had never thought that someone could sleep in this way.
The girl who always kept people at a distance sat quietly on her side, her hands crossed steadily on her abdomen, her chest rising and falling slightly, her posture as solemn as if she was going to be buried, her breathing even, and she was not awakened by the sound of Zhuo opening the room.
He suddenly remembered that Ling must have had a hard night last night.
Although the wound has been treated simply, the pain is unlikely to go away, so she may not fall asleep until very late.
The wound was bandaged so the condition could not be seen.
Zhuo walked lightly, changed into slippers and went out.
……
Compared with the rich and high-calorie breakfast in Japan, breakfast in Japan is a bit "shabby", and for many people, it may not even be enough to eat enough.
Because it's really simple.
However, Japanese people live a long life, compared to those who grow flowers.
And this not eating enough is actually a habit of Japanese people. No matter it is breakfast, lunch or dinner, Japanese people have developed the habit of eating only until they are 80% full since childhood.
Sa Chiko told Zhuo since childhood: Not eating too full is really important for good health.
But now this habit has been broken, well, the culprit is zero.
In just a few months, he has gained several pounds.
Zhuo naturally did not have the conditions to prepare a very sumptuous breakfast, so he just went to the convenience store and bought some things that everyone usually eats.
Two kiwis, a handful of sprouts, two pieces of egg toast, two slices of ham, and two cups of coffee.
Simple yet not-so-simple ingredients supplement the nutrients needed by the human body, such as vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates, etc.
Of course, in fact, more families in Japan will eat rice early in the morning, then cook a pot of miso soup, fry two pieces of grilled chicken, and then pair them with some vegetables needed by the human body.
Zhuo knew that he did not have that ability.
But after thinking it over carefully, I went back to the vegetable section and bought some onions, carrots, etc. and went to the meat section to buy some beef and chicken.
We do have rice and seasonings at home.
Don't get me wrong, he's not trying to cook!
He just remembered that Zero could cook.
