The shou looked at the small scratches on the fingers of the high school student and didn’t know what to say for a while.
The high school student’s face was sharp and threatening, looking cold and fierce. But when he ran down to ask for a bandage due to the wound, his image of a bully broke down and it suddenly reminded shou that he was still a high school student. A high school student who had lost both his parents.
This was what the shou had heard. On that day, the high school student seemed to have fought with someone. With a wound on his cheek, a body full of anger, he walked past the shou with his schoolbag in his hand. After the high school student left, several elders next to him1the shou’s looked at each other in dismay and whispered.
It was said that he fought with someone else again.
The talks of the people wove on and ended with a sigh. They said that if it wasn’t for the death of his parents, this wouldn’t have happened. Even his aunt couldn’t control him.
The shou suddenly felt a weird sense of contrast. He even thought: He feels pain — this fucker gives a shit about pain??2I used the swear words to show the intensity of the sentence
Since the high school student was present, the shou couldn’t continue the live broadcast. So the shou could only stop the broadcasting after telling the viewers. He hurriedly removed the makeup on his face and changed his clothes before going to open the door for the high school student.
The shou’s house was neat and tidy. The high school student lifted his leg and went in. His face was calm and not at all uncomfortable.
The shou squatted in front of the cupboard and rummaged through it. The high school student stared at his back for a while before slowly looking away. The shou’s bedroom door was closed tightly as if shutting in all the unspeakable thoughts and slowly luring him.
The high school student rubbed his wound causing the solidified bloodstain to be rubbed off and a little blood oozed out.
The sound of the shou’s footsteps approached. He took iodophor and band-aid and sat down beside the high school student. Just when he was about to open his mouth, the high school student automatically stretched out his hand.
Shou was taken aback. He looked at the expressionless face of the high school student and after a moment of silence, he resigned to cleaning his wound with a cotton swab.
The high school student didn’t speak as well. Both of them were quiet. He kept looking at the shou. It was as if his gaze had something in it and it made the shou uncomfortable. But he didn’t dare to say anything and his thin white fingers trembled.
His skin was white. He was wearing a set of plain cotton nightclothes which were buttoned tightly. His white neck was revealed and his ears glow clear red in the soft light. Maybe it was because of the reason that the makeup was removed in a hurry, there was still eye shadow on the eyelids, and the lips were very red.
The high school student’s adam’s apple moved. The shou took the band-aid and applied it to his scratched wound. He said in a low voice, “Don’t touch water. You can take this back to use and return it after the wound is healed.”
The high school student glanced at the band-aid in his hand and made a sound in agreement. But he didn’t move.
The shou glanced at the high school student suspiciously. The high school student stood up to leave. He was tall in height and his shadow shrouded the shou. The shou curled up his fingers, striving not to dodge the opponent’s gaze.
The high school student said, “Thank you.”
Shou, “……Oh. You, you are welcome.”
The high school student looked at the shou with a good intentioned face. But the shou looked like a small animal being watched upon by a ferocious beast. His scalp felt numb and he almost recoiled. Fortunately, the high school student said, “I am going back.”
The shou was relieved, “Okay.”
“……” The high school student pursued his lips and said, “Sleep early.”
The shou’s eyes widened and he mumbled, “……Okay.”
The high school student then raised his long legs and walked towards the door.
The shou breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the high school student turned his face to look at the shou. The shou’s heart hung up again, his expression became alert and full of fear.
The high school student wrinkled his brows. He didn’t utter a word and directly walked away.
