Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

After exiting the cable car station, Zhao Lin took out his phone and hailed a taxi.

Tang Xiaoman sat on a bench by the roadside waiting for a bus, her right foot dangling, afraid to put it down.

"Should I go back by myself?"

Zhao Lin turned around.

Do you know where the clinic is?

Tang Xiaoman shook her head.

"I don't know."

"Then let's go to the clinic first."

"Huh? Actually... I don't think it's that serious."

"The car is here."

A taxi stopped in front of the two of them.

Zhao Lin first opened the back door of the car, then turned to look at Tang Xiaoman.

"Could you walk a few steps?"

"Yes, you can!"

Tang Xiaoman stood up, holding onto the back of the chair.

She tried to take two steps with her left foot, and Zhao Lin immediately reached out to support her.

"Slower."

His hand landed near her elbow, without any further contact.

Tang Xiaoman limped onto the car.

Zhao Lin picked up her backpack and put it aside.

He turned and sat on the other side, telling the driver the name of a nearby community clinic.

Along the way, Tang Xiaoman tried to find topics to talk about several times, but each time the words were on the tip of her tongue, she felt a little awkward.

In the end, Zhao Lin spoke first.

"You're from Jiangnan University, right?"

"Yes, it's the School of Foreign Languages."

"Sharing a dorm room with Shen Qingyi?"

"Yes."

How many people live in the girls' dormitory?

"Four."

"oh."

The conversation stalled again.

Tang Xiaoman waited a while, then couldn't help but ask:

"And you?"

"Computer science."

"Lu Xing's roommate?"

"Um."

"Are there four people in your dorm too?"

"Um."

"Are you usually on good terms with them?"

"It's alright, isn't it?"

Boys will never admit that they have a very good relationship.

"What do you mean by 'okay'?"

"To offer some advice when the other person is in a relationship."

"What advice did you offer?"

Zhao Lin turned his head to look at her.

"I don't offer advice on relationships."

Why?

"Because I have no experience."

The driver in the front seat raised an eyebrow and turned the steering wheel to make a turn.

"..."

Tang Xiaoman held back for a long time, but finally burst out laughing.

"Who in your dorm is the most experienced?"

"A fool named Lin Yuanzhou."

"Has he been in many relationships?"

"no."

The girl tilted her head.

"Then how can you have experience?"

"Hehe, theory and experience."

Tang Xiaoman laughed so hard her shoulders trembled slightly.

My mood, which was initially bad because of the sprain, improved quite a bit after a few random conversations.

We arrived at the clinic.

After a brief examination, the doctor determined it was a soft tissue sprain, applied ice, and bandaged it up.

"Try to walk less these two days, don't apply heat, and don't rub it vigorously."

The doctor instructed:

"If the swelling gets worse or the pain doesn't subside, you'll need to go to the hospital for an X-ray."

Tang Xiaoman nodded seriously.

Zhao Lin stood beside her, listening even more attentively than she did.

After the doctor finished treating the wound, Tang Xiaoman took out her phone from her bag to pay.

Zhao Lin had already handed over the QR code.

The girl frowned slightly and protested in a low voice:

"I can do it myself!"

"Your leg is injured right now, so you move slowly."

He paid the bill and put his phone away.

"Just transfer it to me when you get back."

Tang Xiaoman had no choice but to nod.

After leaving the clinic, Zhao Lin called a car for her.

Tang Xiaoman gave her address while sitting in the car.

Zhao Lin didn't say anything and just got into the car with her.

Although it's not good from a privacy perspective...

But it's still better than having a girl dressed as a zombie, hopping and skipping into the neighborhood.

"You don't need to take me home..."

Tang Xiaoman couldn't help but remind him.

"I know."

"Then why..."

"I have nothing to do right now."

"..."

Tang Xiaoman could no longer persuade him, so she could only sit quietly to the side.

The street scene outside the car window kept receding, and the lanterns by the roadside swayed gently in the wind.

Zhao Lin looked down at his phone, occasionally replying to a couple of messages.

Tang Xiaoman glanced at him secretly.

Strange person...

But it seems quite reliable.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the residential area.

Tang Xiaoman pushed open the car door and tried to get out of the car by herself.

Zhao Lin went down first, handed her her backpack, and then held her arm.

"bring it on."

"I can do it myself..."

Before Tang Xiaoman could finish speaking, her ankle hurt again.

She swayed slightly and quickly grabbed Zhao Lin's arm.

Zhao Lin didn't say anything, only let her support him.

The two slowly walked towards the building entrance.

Tang Xiaoman's foot was wrapped in white bandages, and she walked with a limp.

Her right hand gripped Zhao Lin's arm, pressing down on him with almost all of her weight.

She stopped when she got downstairs.

"Thank you so much for your help today."

She turned around and looked at Zhao Lin intently.

"If I hadn't met you, I might not know what to do."

Zhao Lin shrugged.

"You might sit on the mountaintop, waiting for someone to find you tomorrow."

"It's not that exaggerated..."

After Tang Xiaoman finished speaking, she suddenly didn't know how to continue.

Zhao Lin let her hold his arm.

After a few seconds, he asked first:

"that……"

"Um."

"Shall we add each other on WeChat?"

Tang Xiaoman nodded.

We agreed that he would take a picture of me next time.

Oh, I haven't paid him the clinic's fees yet. I definitely need to add his contact information...

Ok?

Something seems off.

Before she could think further, Zhao Lin took out his phone, opened WeChat, and displayed the QR code.

"Scan it."

Tang Xiaoman also took out her phone.

Scan the QR code to send a friend request.

Almost immediately, the friend request was accepted.

"Shall I go up first?"

Zhao Lin put away his phone.

"Um."

There's an elevator in the building, so going upstairs shouldn't be a problem.

But after he turned and took two steps, Tang Xiaoman couldn't help but speak up again:

"Zhao, Zhao Lin."

"What's wrong?"

"……Thank you."

Zhao Lin turned to look at her.

"You're welcome."

"Besides, you've already thanked me many times."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The camera bag was slung across my shoulder, swaying gently with each step I took.

Tang Xiaoman stood at the entrance of the building, watching him walk further and further away.

She only looked down at her phone after the figure turned the corner and disappeared from sight.

For some reason, the girl's lips slowly curled up into a smile.

She put away her phone, leaned against the wall, and limped towards the elevator.

As the elevator doors closed, she couldn't resist taking out her phone and clicking on Zhao Lin's profile picture.

Beneath that gray sky, there was only one line of simple information.

I can't see anything at all...

The elevator has arrived at the floor.

Tang Xiaoman slowly walked to her front door, picked up her key, and opened it.

The room was quiet.

She put her bag on the sofa and first adjusted her ankle to a more comfortable position.

He took out his phone again and took a picture of his bandages.

After thinking for a moment, she opened the chat window and typed:

【I'm home now.】

After sending it, she stared at the screen for a few seconds.

Zhao Lin did not reply immediately.

Tang Xiaoman put her phone aside and was about to pour herself a glass of water.

I had only taken two steps when my phone vibrated.

Zhao Lin: [Hmm.]

There's only one word...

Tang Xiaoman stood there, looking at the word "hmm," and couldn't help but laugh.

……

On the other side, Zhao Lin stared into thought as he looked at the photos the girl had sent him on his phone.

Ok……

Jade feet.
