Tender as wild

Chapter 20 Pinkeye

The faintest chirping of insects came from the shade of the trees outside the building.

Baili's round eyes closed in the darkness, suppressing her sobs.

The past cannot be changed.

She can't hinder Ms. Hu's thoughts.

Baili kept telling herself that there was no point in escaping.

She could only try her best to do as much as she could during these two months of summer vacation.

With this thought.

That night, Bai's sleep was completely out of balance, and he didn't fall asleep until two in the morning.

She didn't know what kind of horrible dream she had fallen into. Her whole face was pressed against the pillow, her body curled up into a ball, her expression was inexplicable pain.

When thoughts are restrained, the corners of a person's mouth will not turn upward.

June left quietly in this drinking party.

July has entered an even hotter month.

The green belt of the entire ancient city has turned into a deeper dark green, and this holiday is really sultry.

After returning Brother Xiaobai's cat, Baili got up early for several days in a row, bought breakfast and put it on the table, then did her best to do housework, and then worked hard to paint from morning to night.

The dozens of dollars earned from one transaction were all saved and left untouched, leaving them with Fang Ye when he was about to leave.

Fang Ye saw all these details, but he didn't say anything. He still went out early and came back late every day.

He seems very busy.

Too busy to worry about this anymore.

But he was able to find time to send Baili a message during the meal and ask her what she had eaten.

Such days have passed for a long time.

One morning in mid-July, Baili was woken up by his message.

Grabbing her phone, she looked at the time first.

——Ten thirty in the morning.

I woke up very late, which has never happened before.

Holding back the lump in her throat, she opened WeChat and clicked into Fang Ye's chat box.

[Fang Ye: Are you up yet? 】

Baili quickly typed a few words on the screen.

[Bai Li: It’s up. 】

After waiting for a few minutes, when Fang Ye didn't reply, Bai Li got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

While looking in the mirror and brushing her teeth, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with her eyes. The whites of her eyes seemed to be infected and turned bright red.

Blinking, there was a dry itching sensation all around, making people want to reach out and rub it.

Under the light, he looked like a vampire.

Baili was startled.

Take out your phone and click on Baidu.

Type your symptoms on the search bar.

[What causes dry and red eyes? 】

Clicking search, Baidu provided her with many answers.

Doctors are very inconsistent.

Some say it is eye fatigue caused by long-term overuse of the eyes.

It is said that conjunctivitis is caused by not paying attention to hygiene.

There are also talks about dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, and infective endocarditis.

The more Baili read, the more panicked she felt, until she saw a piece of content that could be considered a threat.

——[If it is not treated promptly, there may be a risk of blindness. 】

"..."

Bai Li closed her eyes and silently turned off her phone. Sure enough, she couldn't ask Baidu if she was sick. It could be a serious illness that could kill her.

After looking around, she felt that the most appropriate answer was that the eye was overused. After all, she had been painting these past few days and barely paid attention to rest.

Fortunately, the remuneration for painting was very good, and I saved hundreds of dollars.

My eyes were sick, and they became itchy and painful after a while. Baili couldn't continue painting. She took out her mobile phone, randomly turned on a certain channel on the radio, and lay back on the bed to rest quietly.

In the mobile phone player, the female host was reading an article, and she told the content of the article in the softest voice.

"Hello dear listeners, the submission we are going to read today is about the self-salvation of the family of origin."

The theme is very relevant.

Baili didn't switch deliberately.

The beautiful voice created a comfortable mental environment, and with the chirping of birds outside the window, she gradually fell asleep.

So much so that she didn't even hear the phone ringing many times.

When I woke up again, it was already noon.

The sunlight shines through the window sill at the foot of the bed, baking the thin sheets until they become soft.

"Bang bang bang-!"

Hearing the crisp knock on the door, she sat up suddenly and glanced at her surroundings in confusion before she realized that she had fallen asleep again.

There were constant knocks on the door, accompanied by the young man's deep and sweet voice.

"Bai Li, are you there? Open the door."

Baili was shocked. Fang Ye would not come back at this time, so she subconsciously felt that something had happened.

He hurriedly got up from the bed and walked to the door.

Suddenly remembering her red eyes, to prevent Fang Ye from being frightened by her, he took a pair of sunglasses from the table and put them on before opening the door.

The air conditioner from the living room came in, dissipating the heat wave in the room. Through dark lenses, Fang Ye appeared in Bai Li's sight.

He wore a black windbreaker today and was carrying a bag of food, blocking most of the light.

Bai Li noticed that Fang Ye must have returned in a hurry. There was a trace of water in his black hair, his chest was rising and falling slightly, and his expression was particularly serious.

She trembled inwardly and asked eagerly: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Fang Ye didn't answer. He glanced at the wide sunglasses on her face and said with a smile: "Wearing sunglasses at home? What's your habit?"

"..."

Bai Li adjusted her sunglasses, fearing that he would see some flaws and cause him trouble. After a while, she said, "The light is too dazzling, so I'll sleep with them on."

Fang Ye obviously didn't believe her nonsense. His eyes fell on the curtains in her room that were enough to block all the light. He raised his eyebrows and his eyes seemed to say: Do you think I'm stupid?
  Bai Li felt guilty and avoided looking away. She muttered in a low voice: "I forgot to use the curtains when I was so sleepy."

Fang Ye didn't press any further, raised the things in his hands and turned around to leave, "Okay, take off your sunglasses and come down to eat."

Baili felt like a vampire, and of course she didn't want to take off her sunglasses. She even considered not eating at all.

But Fang Ye specially brought her food, and it would be rude not to eat it.

He hesitated for half a minute.

Fang Ye's voice came from downstairs again, urging her lazily.

"Bai Li, why don't you come, do you want me to treat you?"

There is no other way.

Bai Li took a deep breath and went downstairs holding on to her sunglasses.

The dinner table.

Fang Ye has already opened the take-out box, which is full of fresh dishes, steaming from the hot pot, and fragrant.

Bai Li swallowed and sat on the chair opposite Fang Ye.

Fang Ye didn't look at her, but picked up a box of rice and pushed it in front of her, and handed her a pair of chopsticks.

Bai Li also recognized the situation and said nothing, burying her head in eating silently.

At this time, several message notifications came from Fang Ye's mobile phone, and the vibration was particularly noticeable.

After a few seconds.

Bai Li heard a public voice.

"Brother Ye, have you gone back? How is sister Baili? Have you found anyone?"

Bai Li subconsciously looked at her cell phone, which showed several missed calls from Fang Ye.

She looked up suddenly.

and so……

Fang Ye didn't come home suddenly, but hurried back because she didn't answer the phone?
