Chapter 17: Page 17

He held the door handle and opened it, not giving the girl a chance to reply, "Just sit down. Whether you're here to buy medicine or not, you should have a cup of tea to nourish your stomach first, and then use your spare time to think about it."

blah-

The sound of a door closing was followed by a crisp sound, and the clean and tidy lounge returned to silence.

Hanyu Reizuki was stunned, and a trace of complexity flashed across his slightly hideous face covered by large black spots.

Perhaps it was this unprecedented treatment that caused her to follow the boy with a time difference and walk into her clinic that she had only dared to dream of from afar.

There was only an old man at the counter who looked very serious and difficult to get along with.

She didn't dare to speak, for fear of offending the other party, so she lowered her head and followed the boy cautiously to this quiet and cool lounge.

Gently touch the white pillow and quilt with your palm. The soft feeling is completely different from the hard and rough thin quilt at home.

I lowered my eyes. If possible, I really wanted to sleep on a bed like this.

"What are you dreaming about?"

Laughing at herself softly, she withdrew her hands and lowered her head, not wanting to let the inferiority complex overflow from her eyes.

For someone like me...

She pursed her pale lips and closed her eyes.

The burning pain in my legs never stopped, but instead tended to get more and more painful. Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on my forehead.

Just bear with it.

When I get home I can clean it with tap water so it won't hurt any more.

It's okay. Didn't we get here this way before?

Sweat beads appeared on her palms, which were trembling slightly, and the heart-wrenching pain made her face even paler.

"Awaited."

At this moment, a cool and pleasant voice suddenly sounded.

Hanyu Reizuki raised her head and the young man opened the door and walked in with a pot of tea.

"sorry to bother you."

She forced a smile with great effort.

Qingyou frowned slightly, obviously noticing something unusual, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

The girl didn't answer, but just shook her head slightly.

"A liar gets no candy"

Putting the teapot aside, Qingyou walked up to her and said, "The sweat on your forehead is almost like rain, and you still say you're fine?"

Hanyu Reizuki didn't dare to look the boy in the eye.

Qingyou said with a smile, "You look so guilty that it's obvious. A three-year-old can lie better than you."

The girl's white earlobe was stained with an embarrassing red.

"Which calf is the wound on?"

Noticing that the other person's lips were gradually losing color, Qingyou asked.

Hanyu Reizuki was slightly startled.

How could he notice...

"He walks with a limp. Anyone can tell he's injured somewhere."

Qingyou squatted down and said, "Don't just stand there, roll up your trouser legs so I can see how serious the wound is."

The boy's expression was already calm, and the white coat on his body made him look even more elegant, like a cold and dignified attending physician.

Therefore, Hanyu Reizuki did not have the energy to refute for a moment. She just stretched out her hand, rolled up her trouser legs obediently, and exposed her injured calf in front of the boy.

The moment he saw the wound, Qingyou's pupils shrank slightly and his expression froze.

The girl's white and tender skin was covered with shocking wounds, which looked extremely hideous. Blood was still oozing out, and bright red blood flowed down her ankles, leaving traces one after another.

This kind of wound doesn't look like an accidental scratch at all.

In addition, there are scars of varying depths and shapes on other parts of the calves.

Obviously, such scars are caused by long-term abuse and beating.

Qingyou was silent and said nothing.

Hanyu Reizuki's body trembled slightly, and when she noticed the boy's expression, a strong sense of nervousness and helplessness surged in her heart.

Sensing the girl's uneasiness, he sighed in his heart.

——Another poor man

"The wound is almost festering, why did you come now?"

After a while, he spoke calmly without asking about the origin of these scars.

The girl was obviously relieved.

"I...was delayed by something..." she said weakly.

"No matter how busy you are, if you are injured you must deal with it immediately. This is not a joke, you know."

Qingyou looked at her with a serious tone.

Hanyu Reizuki replied in a low voice, "Hmm."

"Sit still and I'll disinfect and bandage your wound." Qingyou stood up.

"No, no, no." Hanyu Reizuki waved her hands quickly.

"The wound has become so festering, are you sure you don't want to treat it?" the boy asked back, his voice flat and emotionless.

"If this continues, I will really get a high fever and become sick."

"But...."

Hanyu Reizuki pursed her lips and said timidly, "I may not be able to pay the fee..."

Qingyou interrupted her, "Did I say I would take your money?"

"Eh?"

The girl was stunned, wondering if she had heard it wrongly.

"It's just a simple treatment of the wound, no charge." He explained.

"Is that so..."

Hanyu Reizuki pinched the corner of her clothes, as if she had not expected this situation.

"We are a regular clinic. We are certainly not so unscrupulous as to charge for such a small matter. Relax."

Qingyou came over and took out the necessary medicine box from the medicine cabinet next to the door.

"It might be a little painful, just bear with it."

Place the medicine box on the cabinet next to the bed and open it.

Take out a bottle of iodine, dip a cotton swab in it, and then gently wipe it on your calves.

The moment the cotton touched the wound, a piercing pain rushed straight to the nerves.

Hanyu Reizuki's body trembled slightly, and she felt a burning pain.

"It will be fine in a while, just be patient."

Qinglie's voice echoed in her ears. Although it was still as cold as before, Yuzuru Reizuki could hear a hint of subtle tenderness in it.

Is it an illusion?

She blinked blankly and tilted her head. The young man was wiping her wound meticulously.

His jade-like face was handsome and beautiful, his ink-black eyes were like black gemstones, shining with a luster that made people unable to help but fall into it. The hand holding the cotton swab was long and slender, and the strength and movement of wiping were gentler than before.

——Maybe, he is also a gentle person.

Looking at him blankly, Hanyu Reizuki murmured in her heart.

As if noticing her gaze, the boy raised his head, and their eyes met in an instant.

Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately turned her head away, her earlobe turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The pain in my calf is so real, but I seem to not feel it at all.

Only the tip of my heart felt itchy, as if it was scratched by a feather.

.................

"After you go back, remember to rinse with hydrogen peroxide twice a day, disinfect with iodine, and then wrap it with gauze."

Wrap the wound with a bandage, Qingyou instructed carefully.

"This bag contains two weeks' supply, enough for your wound to heal."

"Thank you."

Hanyu Reizuki stood up and frantically reached into her pocket. "Excuse me, how much do you want? I haven't paid yet."

Tada Kiyoyu held up a finger and said, "One yen."

"Okay, I'll just..."

"Eh??"

"There is a promotion in the store. The 123rd patient in a day will get a yuan discount." Seeing the girl's confused and shocked expression, Qingyou spread his hands.

"You're lucky, you're the 123rd one."

Hanyu Reizuki pursed her lips and said nothing.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the store manager. I'm just a small disciple and I don't have the ability to fake an event." He added.

"Thank you."

The girl bowed and said sincerely, "Really, thank you very much."

Regardless of whether this activity is true or false, she will always express her gratitude to the other party.

...

After sending the girl to the door, Qingyou handed her the bag of medicine.

"Go back and have a good rest. Don't exercise and sweat easily."

"Ah."

Hanyu Reizuki took the bag and responded softly.

The complexion and condition are obviously much better than before.

Qingyou nodded, feeling very satisfied.

Just as he was about to turn around and enter the store, the girl in front of him bit her lip and asked hesitantly, "Um, can I know your name?"

This was the first time she wanted to know someone's name so much.

"My name is Tada Kiyoyu."

The boy said his name calmly without hesitation.

"Tada... Kiyoyu..."

Hanyu Reizuki murmured softly to herself, as if she wanted to engrave this name somewhere in her heart.

After a moment, she raised her eyes and smiled, "Thank you very much today, Tada-kun. Thank you so much."

Qingyou was slightly startled.

The girl's face was obviously so hideous and scary, but at this moment, he felt that this sincere smile from the bottom of her heart was more beautiful than any flower in the world.

——Perhaps, every girl has her most beautiful side.

He thought silently in his heart as he watched the other person leave.

"Are you done? Yuuko-chan."

The store manager, who had white hair but still maintained his elegant demeanor, walked up to Qingyou.
