Early in the morning, Luo Xi was busy running around the venue, confirming the stones for laying the foundation, checking the words on them, preparing corsages for guests, paper and pen for signing in, and people kept shouting "Teacher Luo, Teacher Luo"
, she felt that her head had become a lot bigger, so much so that she would also have auditory hallucinations when no one called her.
After several hours of preparation, the ceremony could finally officially begin. Luo Xi took some time out of his busy schedule and stood in the corner, wiping sweat and drinking water.
The principal's voice came from the construction site in the distance. He solemnly introduced the founder of this project to everyone. The applause was so warm that Luo Xi didn't even hear his name clearly. Then, salutes were fired, gongs and drums bursts, and
Amidst the noise, the principal and the founder buried the cornerstone and the iron box containing various information and the name of the founder into the soil. The cannon sounded again, and the host announced the end of the ceremony.
The ceremony over there is over, and there is a small press conference here.
Luo Xi was preparing tea and waiting for the guests to arrive. She was so tired that she could hardly lift the kettle. The blisters on her feet were even more painful.
"Teacher Luo."
The sudden sound from behind startled her. Her hand slipped and the kettle filled with hot water fell straight down.
"Be careful." Just when her eyes were dazed and her feet were weak, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, and then pulled her back. The kettle fell to the ground and broke, and the hot water inside splashed out.
He blocked her in front of her with his body, and she felt as if the hand he held on his waist suddenly shrank.
Time seemed to stand still for two or three seconds. Several teachers came over and asked, "Are you burned?"
Luo Xi finally came back to her senses. She shook her head and immediately looked at the person in front of her. He was also looking down at him. Those narrow eyes were reflected in her pupils, and the upturned corners of her lips seemed familiar.
"Are you injured?" Luo Xi immediately felt embarrassed that his mistake had affected others.
"It's okay." He let go of his hand around her waist. When he smiled, his eyebrows seemed to have faint ripples. While she was stunned, he stretched out his long-knuckled palm, "Hello, Lin Zi
Balance."
Luo Xi went through the name in her mind, and then shook his hand gently, "Hello, Luo Xi." When he heard her name, he didn't seem to be unfamiliar, but rather like an acquaintance.
His palms were warm and dry, with a thin layer of calluses on them.
"Mr. Lin." The principal came over in a hurry, saw the broken kettle on the ground, and then looked at Lin Ziheng, whose trousers were soaked, and immediately called to the medical staff, "Come on, Mr. Lin's leg is burned."
What, burned?
Only then did Luo Xi realize that his black trousers were covered with hot water and even steaming out.
"It doesn't matter, just deal with it simply."
"I'll help you." Luo Xi felt guilty and hurriedly volunteered.
He was slightly startled, and there seemed to be a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he did not refuse, "Then I'll trouble you."
In the infirmary, Luo Xi was helping the school doctor cut the gauze. He looked behind the screen from time to time. How could he remain silent when he was burned by such scalding water? Is he an iron man?
The school doctor went to prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs. Luo Xi stood in front of Lin Ziheng, who had a thick bandage on his calf, and apologized, "I'm sorry, it's all..."
He interrupted her, "You don't have to mind a little injury."
"But..."
"I told you, it's just a minor injury." His eyes fell on her face, as if they would not move away, so focused.
She felt embarrassed when he looked at him, but she seemed to think she had seen this person somewhere before. She turned her face away slightly and asked, "Have we met somewhere before?"
