Chapter 12 Children

When I came out of the police station, the night was getting darker. There was no star in the dark sky, and even the moon was hidden behind the clouds.

The late night wind was even more chilly. Xuanli tightened her coat and stood on the steps and exhaled. The white mist circled in front of her eyes for several times before gradually dissipating.

Her legs were a little sore from standing, and she wanted to jump down from the steps to exercise, but her feet were lost and she fell straight down.

When Jiang Cheng came out of it, he saw Xuanli falling to the ground like a butterfly with broken wings.

She stood up from the ground in annoyance, only glanced at the scratched palms, then focused her attention on the dirty cuffs, and patted the dust on her coat.

"How come you can get yourself into trouble when I'm not around?"

Hearing his voice getting closer, Xuanli immediately put her hands behind her back with guilt.

Jiang Cheng's tone did not allow for criticism, "Put out your hand and let me see."

She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him, "I'm sorry, I accidentally soiled your clothes..."

Even though he was obviously injured, his first reaction was still to take care of his clothes.

Jiang Cheng's eyelids twitched and he took her hand forcefully. Half of his plain white palm was already covered in blood, which made his eyes hurt.

He was glad that he bought more iodophor when he bought it, and while holding the cotton swab, he reminded her quietly: "It will hurt a little, you can shout out, I won't laugh at you."

The next second after the cold touch, a dense sting came over her. Xuanli subconsciously wanted to shrink her hand, but he pinched her fingers.

Although the wound area is not large, the band-aid cannot cover it.

Jiang Cheng knelt down and said, "Pull up your pants and let me take a look."

She took two steps back shyly, "My legs are fine."

He raised his face and looked at her with a playful look in his eyes, "Didn't you agree before that you don't need to cover up in front of me?"

Jiang Cheng clearly saw her right knee touching the ground.

Xuanli's cheeks were slightly hot, and she slowly lifted up her wide school trousers, revealing her slender and straight calves.

Her calves are shapely and fair, without a trace of fat, and they are just the right amount of skinny.

His eyelids suddenly twitched again.

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on her injured knee that was still bleeding.

Seeing that he was already holding a iodophor cotton swab to apply to the wound, she quickly said: "I can come here by myself!"

He paused and stood up, "Okay, you come."

Xuanli took the iodophor swab he handed over, limped and slowly sat down on the steps with her knees bent under his half-smiling gaze.

She frowned in pain, but she didn't say a word.

"Don't put your trouser legs down, the fabric will stick to the wound." Jiang Cheng squatted down in front of her, "Now that you're injured, come up."

Xuanli pursed her lips in confusion, "I...I can go by myself."

He turned half sideways, eyes drooping lazily, "I always love to show off, but you are just a kid."

She retorted seriously: "I am an adult, not a child."

Jiang Cheng stood up and looked down at her with his absolute height, "It's only as high as my shoulders, and he looks like a junior high school student. Are you saying he's not a kid?"

Xuanli had no choice but to give up arguing with him and opened her hands in resignation, "Don't think I'm too heavy for a while."

His clothes were very roomy for her, and when she stretched out her hand, her sleeves were so long that they hung down, like a petite zombie.

Jiang Cheng rolled up her sleeves before turning around and squatting down again, "Come up, little Xuan Xiaoli."

She carefully hooked her arms around the back of his neck to avoid falling, and kept her legs tightly wrapped around his waist.

He chuckled, "You try so hard, my brother can't even stand up."

Hearing this, Xuanli relaxed her strength in embarrassment and embarrassment, and explained palely: "I...I'm afraid of falling."

Jiang Cheng stood up easily while carrying her on his back, "You are as light as a piece of paper, but you still think you are heavy? Don't worry, even if you fall and become disabled, I will help you push the wheelchair in the future."

She was so frightened that her back stiffened, and her hands gripped his shoulders nervously.

"I still have to take the college entrance examination, and I can't use a wheelchair!"

He was amused by her serious and frightened voice, but he still deliberately scared her, "It's okay. Being disabled doesn't affect Zhijian."

Xuanli struggled to get down, "Then I'd better get down by myself."

"Don't move, otherwise I will really throw you."

She didn't dare to move anymore and lay peacefully on his shoulder.

The night was getting darker, tiredness was rising, and she fell into a deep sleep.

The second before I lost consciousness, I was still thinking about the leeks that fell to the ground.

"Leeks... a waste."

Xuanli's voice was like soft feathers tickling his ears. Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh, he was really a kid.

Xuan Ran sat in the hall for more than an hour, but still didn't see the two people coming back, and he paced back and forth anxiously.

"Where did Brother Jiang Cheng go with that wild girl from the countryside?"

Until there was a sound of the courtyard door being pushed open, she was overjoyed and ran towards the door, but her steps stopped abruptly when she saw Jiang Cheng carrying Xuan Li on his back.

Xuan Ran's surprised smile froze, and she stared gloomily at the sleeping person lying on Jiang Cheng's body, gritting her teeth.

"Brother Jiang Cheng, why did you carry her back?"

Jiang Cheng glanced at her and said, "Keep your voice down, don't wake her up."

She always listened to his words, but she could only purse her lips reluctantly and never took her eyes away from Xuanli.

After putting Xuanli on the bed, Jiang Cheng went home and brought a bandage.

Xuan Ran watched him bandage the wounds on Xuan Li's knees and palms, and felt sour in his heart.

She had never received such considerate treatment from Jiang Cheng, and she gritted her teeth in anger.

Next time she will try to get injured in a fight!

Jiang Cheng stood up after finishing everything and told Xuan Ran: "Ran Ran, help her wipe her face and take off her coat."

Xuan Ran looked away and snorted: "I don't want it."

His eyes were slightly cold and his tone sounded warning: "Are you disobedient?"

She was so angry that she snorted hard through her nose and closed her eyes, "I understand, brother Jiang Cheng, please go back."

Before going out, Jiang Cheng glanced at the man who had turned over on the bed again, and nodded gently, "Watch Tingxuan do his homework tomorrow, and go to bed early."

Xuan Ran could barely smile when facing Jiang Cheng, but when he turned to look at Xuan Li, his smile was gone.

But she had to listen to Jiang Cheng's instructions, so she had to pour a basin of hot water, cursing in her mind while wiping Xuanli's face.

The clothes on Xuan Li were very familiar to her. It was the coat that Jiang Cheng wore when he went out tonight.

Xuan Ran snorted coldly in his heart: Damn girl, you let Brother Jiang Cheng take care of you like this on your first day here.

After taking off Xuanli's clothes, Xuanran reluctantly pushed the quilt over her, covering half of her face.

Xuanli snorted softly, and Xuanran, who had already walked to the door, stepped back and pulled down the quilt covering her mouth and nose with a look of worry.

"What a troublemaker."
