Tender as wild

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Bai Li cautiously poked her head out of the room and called the man's name twice, only to find that the entire villa was empty and there was still breakfast on the table.

Fang Ye had said before that he would go out today.

But looking at the empty living room on the first floor, Baili still felt a little deserted.

It was rare to take a few days off during the Chinese New Year, and she didn't want to waste it.

I looked at my phone while eating breakfast, looking for something to do.

Guan Xiaoyuan sent several messages in the 301 dormitory group.

"My dears, if anyone is free, would you like to go have a coffee together? My parents have gone out to visit relatives, and I'm going crazy out of boredom."

Chen Sang made a distressed voice and said, "No, I'm visiting relatives in the countryside."

Yang Min didn't have time either. "I was also visiting relatives in my hometown. From the second to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I ate so much food and fish every day that I almost vomited."

Guan Xiaoyuan went to @白利 and said in a coquettish tone: [Pear! Play with me! 】

Baili happened to be free and replied with a smile: [Okay. 】

Guan Xiaoyuan then chatted with her privately.

[Guan Xiaoyuan: Where are you? I'll come to you in the family car. 】

Bai Li remembered that she wanted to drink coffee, so she picked up her mobile phone and searched several nearby coffee shops. The environment was good, and she heard that Guan Xiaoyuan was driving here, so she sent her an address.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when Guan Xiaoyuan came.

They haven't seen each other for half a month, but they still have a close relationship. They sit in the same row holding hands and chatting about the gossip of the past few days.

About half an hour passed.

Guan Xiaoyuan looked at the surrounding environment and asked curiously: "Lizi, why did you come here to drink coffee?"

This place is quite far from Baili's apartment building.

Bai Li put her chin on the table and whispered, "I'm celebrating the New Year with Fang Ye."

"Oh~" Guan Xiaoyuan said with a smile: "Let's celebrate the New Year together!"

There was an obvious hint of teasing in his tone.

Bai Li clapped her hand shyly and changed the subject: "Do you want to fish? There is an artificial lake near here."

Guan Xiaoyuan heard her friend's shyness, but they were both city kids and were also interested in fishing, so she nodded: "Go! My butt is numb after sitting for so long."

It was a sunny afternoon and the air was very fresh. Baili took out the fishing gear from the villa. They were brand new. Fang Ye himself probably had not used them a few times.

On the way to the artificial lake, the property management company had shoveled away most of the winter snow, and the ground was still wet, indicating that spring was about to come.

Guan Xiaoyuan walked quickly, tilted her head and said to Bai Li: "Do you know how to fish? I only know a little."

Bai Li shook her head and smiled: "We can take our time."

The artificial lake is not big, but the scenery is extremely beautiful. There are several wooden deck chairs specially placed in the fishing area. Behind it is a large area of ​​withered yellow grass. As long as the spring breeze blows, it can regain its vitality.

There are already people sitting on it and fishing with their children.

The two girls were so excited that they hung the fish feed on the pole according to the videos on the Internet, and were taught how to swing the pole by the kind-hearted uncle next to them.

After sitting there all afternoon, Guan Xiaoyuan caught a few small finger-long fish.

This harvest was hard-won. She cherished it and put it into a bucket. It was not enough to make delicious food. She planned to take it back to raise her younger brothers and sisters at home.

Baili was also very focused on fishing, and finally caught a relatively large lake fish, which caught the attention of everyone in the audience.

Just in this peaceful atmosphere.

The kid next door got bored and threw a ham sausage into the grass.

A hungry dog ​​rushed out from nowhere, picked up the intestine, and after eating it quickly, it was still unsatisfied and barked at several people, and ran to knock over the fish bucket and grab the fresh fish inside.

There was a lot of movement.

Guan Xiaoyuan was startled and couldn't hold the fishing rod steady. She screamed and pulled Baili away.

Baili also took a few steps back quickly, breaking out in cold sweat.

She is also afraid of dogs.

The scene of being bitten by Su Ling's dog when she was a child is still vivid in her mind, but she still protected her more frightened friend behind her and whispered comfort: "Don't be afraid, don't shout, it is just hungry, and will leave after eating. Just don't run away." , it’ll be fine.”

Guan Xiaoyuan was so moved that she never said a word again.

But the child next to him was frightened and cried. The cry was shrill and harsh, and he was restless even when his mother held him. But driven by common sense, no one dared to run.

They all looked calmly at the dog eating fish in front of them.

really.

After the dog finished eating the fish on the ground with a bared grin and its sharp teeth, it circled around the fish bucket. Without noticing any danger, it got into the green grass and left.

It happened suddenly and ended quickly.

The scene was a bit panicked, and no one expected that such a thing would happen.

Baili took a deep breath.

Stumbling back onto the wooden chair.

Guan Xiaoyuan followed her, suddenly lowered her head, and called out again, "Oh my god, Lizi, what's wrong with your feet?"

Bai Li took a look and saw that there was a circle of redness and swelling on the calf and ankle where the white socks couldn't cover it.

It must have been accidentally twisted just now.

Small pains came from her, but it was not as painful as it looked. She tried to move her ankle, but the pain was bearable, and then she shook her head: "It's okay, it's just twisted."

The male owner of the house next door frowned and contacted the property management, saying that there was an unattended stray dog ​​nearby and hoped that someone could be sent to a rescue station.

It was almost dusk at this point.

Guan Xiaoyuan didn't believe her and insisted on driving her to the hospital. She was relieved when she heard the doctor said it was just a sprain. Apply medicine on time and don't move around and it will be cured soon.

But on the way to send Baili home, she was still distressed and kept asking: "Does it hurt?"

After getting off the car, he helped her with compassion and murmured an apology: "I shouldn't have dragged you this afternoon, I'm sorry, Lizi."

The setting sun cast half a red light.

In fact, Guan Xiaoyuan meant well. The dog was closest to Bai Li, and she subconsciously didn't want Bai Li to be bitten.

Everyone knows that rabies is a very scary disease.

Bai Li could see clearly, and there was a smile in her eyes. She gently touched her head with her hand and said softly: "It doesn't matter, you did the right thing. If it were me, I would definitely pull it at that time." Yours, because we are good friends.”

"Don't you blame me?"

"Well, I don't blame you."

Guan Xiaoyuan held her hand and said, "Thank you Lizi for standing in front to protect me. Lizi, you are so amazing."

Bai Li blinked, "Well, you are also very powerful."

Because of this little thing.

The friendship between the two seems to have become a little closer.

But when she was alone, Baili realized the inconvenience of a sprained ankle.

Living in Banhuwan, she had to climb stairs every day. In order to prevent her injury from worsening due to frequent walking, she simply moved to the first floor.

After one night like this, Baili finally adapted to the life with injuries.

Guan Xiaoyuan also came to her from time to time with snacks in her arms to tease her out of her boredom.

Every time I see Baili's injury getting better, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart.

……

Jiangcheng thousands of miles away.

Hu Qingmei had a new style of manicure done, and after examining it for a long time, her eyes showed her first satisfied smile in days.

Over the past year, Su Ling's rebellion has caused her a lot of headaches.

I thought that after Baili left, the family could live a harmonious life, but unexpectedly, Su Ling, who had lost her reference, suddenly let herself go.

Her academic performance declined, she dyed her hair and smoked, hung out with a group of male students, and the teacher visited her home several times alone. All methods were exhausted, but they failed to stop her from continuing to degenerate.

Although her husband Su Changjin didn't say anything, his eyes always showed accusations intentionally or unintentionally.

He is a standard male chauvinist and believes that it is the woman's responsibility to raise children. After all, he married Hu Qingmei because he was gentle and intellectual, and he did not need her to endure hardships and do housework.

Hu Qingmei is in trouble.

I also tried to get the white pear back.

But she couldn't contact anyone at all, and she didn't have time to look for it herself.
