Su Meng walked slowly in front, Jiang Tingzhou and his dog followed her not far behind. Su Meng ignored Jiang Tingzhou, because at that time there was a more important thing, that was, she lost theTrooper!
She was not familiar with the terrain at first, and she didn’t know where the Trooper ran alone. She also didn’t know anyone there. There were just a few pedestrians on that section of the road. She couldn’t find someone to ask if they saw a lost golden retriever.
Su Meng got a little anxious at the thought of waiting for a while. If she couldn’t find the Golden Retriever, she didn’t know how to deal with the Ling family couple. In a hurry, she walked faster.
But her foot was hurt and she couldn’t walk fast.
While Su Meng was still looking for the golden retriever aimlessly, her arm was grabbed from behind.
“Hey.”
Su Meng was shocked first, and then she realized who was holding her. As she was so worried about the Trooper, she forgot that Jiang Tingzhou was following her behind her. Su Meng blinked and asked him what he wanted.
Jiang Tingzhou raised his chin, pointed towards the pharmacy beside him, “The pharmacy is there.”
Su Meng pursed her lips, “But I want to find my dog first.”
“A golden retriever?” When Heizi frightened her, he did vaguely see a figure of golden fur sneaking out.
“Yes.”
Jiang Tingzhou stuck one hand in his pocket in a lazy tone, “A dog couldn’t be lost in this colony. Maybe it had already gone home by this time.” With that, Jiang Tingzhou raised his leg and strode into the pharmacy. After walking a few steps, he frowned after he found that Su Meng hadn’t followed him, “Why aren’t you coming?”
Su Meng thought about it, but then she followed. She bought the disinfectant, then used a cotton swab to soak the disinfectant and carefully wiped it off her injured palm. With a touch, she painfully removed the cotton swabs. It really hurts.
She didn’t think she was so delicate before. Wasn’t it just a bruise on her palms which she was disinfecting with a disinfectant? Although it usually hurts, how could it hurt so much? The pain caused her to sweat all over.
Seeing that scene, the pharmacy clerk asked with concern, “Little girl, what’s the matter?”
Su Meng put both hands behind her back, and shook her head, “Nothing.”
The clerk smiled, “You have to disinfect the palm otherwise, the wound will be infected.”
Su Meng was a little scared when she heard of the wound infection. She applied the potion to her wound. In her last life, she had suffered too much. In this life, she wanted to be nice to herself, and not to suffer. Anyway, the wound might not get infected. Jiang Tingzhou took the disinfectant on medical cotton swabs placed on the counter, and handed them to Su Meng, “Apply it.”
Su Meng tilted her head. She hid her two hands firmly behind her, “I don’t want to!” As soon as she uttered the words, Su Meng realized that her tone was not just too soft, but also subconsciously prolonged. It sounded like a spoiled child.
Oh my god. She, a tough girl, never had thought that one day she would make such a sound.
And if it was her previous self, she would never say “I don’t want to”. She would say “No need” or “Wait a moment.”
But the phrase “I don’t want”, just now came out so naturally, without any thoughts. Before Jiang Tingzhou responded, the pharmacy clerk let out a chuckle, “The little girl is so cute. But if it is not cleaned, the wound would get infected and swell. It would be troublesome then. Come, let me apply it for you.”
Su Meng shook her head hurriedly. She was afraid that the clerk would really help her apply it and took two steps back. Her palm still hurt and her whole arm felt a little sore, “It’s not necessary, thank you.”
Jiang Tingzhou casually tossed the disinfectant in his hand, with a playful tone, “Do you want me to apply it for you?”
“No!” Su Meng denied immediately.
Although Su Meng knew that she had no intention of agreeing to Jiang Tingzhou’s proposal just now, her tone of voice was not clear. So Jiang Tingzhou, while playing with the potion bottle in his hand, lazily said, “It seems that you really want me to apply the potion for you.”
“No I don’t!” After Su Meng finished, she ran outside.
No one could ever guess what Jiang Tingzhou would say next, and so does Su Meng. She was afraid that he would continue to tease her, so she felt that staying away from him was the most suitable decision. Although Su Sui was a little bit selfish and indifferent, she was grateful enough to Su Meng to let her know in advance what kind of person Jiang Tingzhou was, so that she could take the initiative to stay away from him.
After Su Meng ran a few steps away, his dog ran behind her, barked and chased after her. She had heard before that when a dog sees a running object, the more it would run, the more it wants to catch up, and the more aggressive the dog would be. So as soon as she heard the dog bark, Su Meng immediately stopped, and tried to minimize her sense of existence.
Su Meng even eased her breathing, but the big dog still followed, and the huge dog’s head touched her calf affectionately.
Jiang Tingzhou stood not far away with his hands in his pockets. His voice was lazy, “Heizi likes you very much.” She didn’t want that at all, but was thankful that it didn’t bite her. She could cry seeing such a big wolf dog, just sniffing around her legs.
Seeing Su Meng’s fear and embarrassment at that moment, Jiang Tingzhou chuckled and waved at his dog, “Heizi, come to me.”
