Chapter 362 Bandage
"Did you sprain your ankle?" Li Zhuangsheng walked quickly to Yao Xingyu.
"What did you say?" Yao Xingyu raised his head, a puzzled look on his face.
"I'm asking you, did you sprain your ankle?" Li Zhuangsheng sighed, walked to Yao Xingyu and squatted down.
"You, what do you want to do?"
"Look at how badly you're hurt."
"I'm fine!"
"Stop pretending. You walk so weirdly."
Li Zhuangsheng's eyes were level with Yao Xingyu's. The two of them exchanged glances and were in a stalemate for a moment.
But after a while, Yao Xingyu was unable to persuade Li Zhuangsheng anymore, so he gently wiped down the edge of his socks, allowing Li Zhuangsheng to see that his ankle was a little red and swollen.
"What's going on? Is it sprained?" Li Zhuangsheng blinked, thinking that this was more serious than he had imagined.
"Just now, I stepped on empty air..." Yao Xingyu snorted and turned away.
Li Zhuangsheng looked at Yao Xingyu's ankles and pondered for a long time, until Yao Xingyu felt shy, pulled up the hem of his socks, and put down his trouser legs.
"To be honest, I'm afraid you can't climb the mountain in your current state." Li Zhuangsheng sighed and said bluntly, "Go talk to them and then I'll take you down the mountain."
"You are not allowed to say it!" Yao Xingyu suddenly grabbed Li Zhuangsheng with a threatening look.
"What are you doing?" Li Zhuangsheng was stunned. "You really can't climb like this. It's very difficult to climb. You need to go to the hospital and take an X-ray right away."
"I can hold on!"
"This is not a matter of persistence. Your foot is so injured, you should go to the hospital and take an X-ray first."
Li Zhuangsheng tried to persuade him earnestly, but Yao Xingyu remained unmoved. He insisted on holding on to Li Zhuangsheng's clothes with a stubborn look on his face.
"I... I don't want to spoil the fun." After a long while, Yao Xingyu blinked slightly, "Zhu Zhixue is looking forward to climbing the mountain with you. If I go down the mountain, she will definitely follow me... There are so many people."
Li Zhuangsheng tilted his head, looked at Yao Xingyu's persistent expression, and hesitated for a long time.
"Well, since you insist on doing this..." Li Zhuangsheng's attitude softened, "I can not tell them, but you have to put on the bandages before I agree to let you go."
"Where did the bandage come from?" Yao Xingyu was stunned.
Li Zhuangsheng put down the schoolbag on his back and unzipped it: "I brought it here."
Yao Xingyu looked strange: "You actually carry a bandage with you!"
Li Zhuangsheng laughed and said, "After all, there are so many people here. What if one of the idiots sprains his ankle?"
Yao Xingyu punched Li Zhuangsheng in anger and said, "You are the idiot!"
"Take off your shoes so I can bandage you."
In fact, Li Zhuangsheng wore a bandage simply because Li Xiuyu sprained his ankle when he and Li Xiuyu went hiking together in college, and Li Zhuangsheng has been cautious ever since then.
"Oh……"
Yao Xingyu took off her shoes very slowly. For some reason, under Li Zhuangsheng's gaze, she felt extremely shy, as if she was not taking off her shoes but her clothes.
"Hurry up, let's finish the binding and go back soon. Someone else might come soon!" Li Zhuangsheng urged softly.
"Don't look at it!" Yao Xingyu's face flushed red after he took off his shoes.
"Then you should take it off faster."
Li Zhuangsheng didn't understand why Yao Xingyu was so hesitant to take off his shoes and socks, and he wanted to help Yao Xingyu take them off himself. Yao Xingyu pursed her lips, her face shy, and slowly took off her white socks that were stained with sweat and slightly yellowed, revealing her fair feet.
Can you please stop staring at me? Yao Xingyu curled up his toes.
Li Zhuangsheng stretched his head and stared at Yao Xingyu's ankle. It was indeed red and swollen. In his heart, he still wanted to persuade Yao Xingyu to go home, but in the end he did not continue.
"Move, can you move?"
Yao Xingyu moved his feet with a somewhat painful expression: "It hurts a bit!"
"If he can move, it shouldn't be too serious..." Li Zhuangsheng muttered softly while lowering his head to pull the bandage.
Seeing this, Yao Xingyu's expression brightened a little, and he gently put his foot on the shoe.
As if to cover up her shyness, she tried to find a conversation with Li Zhuangsheng and coughed, "Hey, what is your relationship with Xie Jiangqing? Old lover? Your sister said you had a very good relationship when you were kids!"
"How is that possible? In fact, I was quite annoyed by her when I was a child. My sister knows it." Li Zhuangsheng didn't even raise his head.
"Are you bothered by her?"
"Yeah... Actually, I can't say I'm annoyed. Anyway, don't you like him very much?"
"why?"
"Because she is too bullying!" When it comes to this, Li Zhuangsheng can't help but complain angrily, "Every day someone gives her snacks, but she insists on snatching them from me. She often takes off her shoes and stretches her feet in front of me to ask if her feet smell good. And last time when we came to the First Mountain, her feet were actually fine, but she insisted on me helping her down the mountain to be lazy. As a result, she leaned on me and made me sweat all over!"
Actually, now that he thinks about it, those things were just minor conflicts between children, and Li Zhuangsheng no longer cared about them. Or rather, he didn't care much about them at the beginning, but in front of Yao Xingyu, he still had to exaggerate.
However, Li Zhuangsheng felt that Xie Jiangqing was a bit overbearing in elementary school, ordering him around like a younger brother every day. He complained to Li Xiuyu about this, and Li Xiuyu knew his troubles.
But later on, the relationship between Li Xiuyu and Xie Jiangqing became worse and worse, and Li Zhuangsheng stopped saying bad things about Xie Jiangqing to Li Xiuyu.
"Then she also..." Yao Xingyu looked a little strange, and after a moment he said, "Then why did you help her down the mountain? There are so many people in your class."
"Because I was afraid she would tell the teacher." Li Zhuangsheng said angrily, "Didn't Xiu Yu push her? I was afraid she would tell the teacher, so I had to please her."
"Did she finally tell the teacher?"
"This is not."
The result was okay. With Li Zhuangsheng's humble attitude, Xie Jiangqing finally did not tell the class teacher about this.
"Tsk, I see."
Yao Xingyu snorted softly. She thought to herself that Xie Jiangqing must have liked Li Zhuangsheng when she was in elementary school!
Just a school hunk...but there are so many beautiful girls who like him. What a bunch of obsessed women!
"Okay, I'll bandage you now." Li Zhuangsheng raised his head and reminded, "Just bear with the slight pain. If it hurts a lot, tell me!"
"Will it hurt?"
"I don't know. I've never had a bandage applied, but after it's done, it definitely won't hurt any more than before."
Li Zhuangsheng said as he gently grabbed Yao Xingyu's feet and said, "Hold on, I'll try to make this quick!"
"Eh……"
Yao Xingyu was startled out of nowhere, and before he could react, his foot was grabbed by Li Zhuangsheng.
Her face flushed and her toes came together again.
"Don't move, it will be fine in a while..." Li Zhuangsheng frowned slightly, "Don't be nervous, I'm just bandaging you, I won't do anything to you! I'm not interested in girls' feet, they're not pretty!"
