Su Ergou pointed back and said, "Behind you, my brother-in-law is walking slowly. He’s afraid that you might run into trouble. So he let me bring Wang Laizi over first."
Wei Ting's injuries had not completely healed, and he still needed to lie in bed to recuperate. Occasionally, he would walk around, doing some activities, but he could only take a few steps slowly with the crutch.
When he went to Wang Laizi's house, he walked a bit hastily, so his leg suddenly became swollen.
On the way home, the snow was getting heavier and heavier.
When Su Xiaoxiao found him, he was sitting on a big rock under the old locust tree, leaning sideways with his crutch.
Usually, this stone was a place where many villagers chat and gossip. Su Xiaoxiao’s never felt anything special about it. But when he sat on it tonight, she became absent-minded and felt that it seemed like there were some artistic conceptions from it.
He had broad shoulders and narrow waist, a tall and upright figure, and long legs. His jet-black hair bun was a little messy from the snowstorm, brushing against his handsome jade-like cheeks. His appearance was absolutely beautiful.
"Really, he looked like an alluring evil spirit."
Su Xiaoxiao muttered and walked forward.
"Why are you sitting here?"
Wei Ting said lightly, "Looking at the scenery?"
Su Xiaoxiao: “……”
Su Xiaoxiao sat down beside him.
Wei Ting gave her a strange glance and said, "What are you doing?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the dark night scene and said, "Looking at the scenery ah."
"You’re not cold?" Wei Ting asked.
Su Xiaoxiao spread out her hand and said, "I am fat, have a thick fat body, so I’m not afraid of cold. You are asking me like that, is it because you are cold?"
Wei Ting snorted and didn't answer.
Su Xiaoxiao touched his hands.
Wei Ting frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
Su Xiaoxiao said, "Your hands are freezing like this, why don't you go back? Let's go! If you continue to sit down here, you will become a popsicle!"
As she got up, she went to get Wei Ting's crutch, and unexpectedly found that the crutch was broken.
"You..." She was stunned for a moment and then looked at his legs. "Did you fall?"
"No." Wei Ting said with an expressionless face,
Su Xiaoxiao squatted down, lifted his left trouser leg, looked at his bloody knee, and said, "And you still said that you didn't fall!"
The wound on his left calf was extremely deep. Although its surface has sutured well, it would still take some time for him to fully recover.
Not to mention that the calf had not healed yet, and the knee had been scrapped again.
"Don't sit here, let’s go back and apply the medicine." Su Xiaoxiao stood up, she put away the broken crutch with one hand, and stretched out the other hand in front of him.
Seeing that Wei Ting didn’t move, she shook her little chubby hand and said, "You just injured your leg. Don't expect me to carry you, ok? I'm a delicate girl! How can I carry you, such a big man?"
Wei Ting gave her a complicated look.
In the end, Wei Ting was still supported by her hands. The two of them walked home step by step in the snowstorm.
After walking a few steps, Su Xiaoxiao said, "Okay la, I take back what I said just now, I'm a fat girl with a weight of 200 catties, and I won't be crushed because of your weight. So don’t be afraid to lean more on me."
Excessive pressure on your injured leg would make the injury worse.
Wei Ting hesitated for a moment and leaned slightly on her.
Su Xiaoxiao thought of tonight's incident and made a slight cough. She said arrogantly, "Actually, even if you don't help me today, I still can get away. After all, I have found an alibi for myself."
Wei Ting snorted and said, "Who said I helped you? The one I helped is Ergou. So don’t be too sentimental."
Su Xiaoxiao said, "Hehe, who is being too sentimental? Ergou is my younger brother, and does he need your help?"
Wei Ting said lightly, “He called me brother-in-law.'"
Su Xiaoxiao said, "He calls you brother-in-law, and you become his brother-in-law? Then If I call you husband, are you my husband?"
