cast a peach

Cold water is sprayed down.

Tan Mingli panted lightly under the shower head, and pressed against the bathroom wall weakly.

water.

She stared blankly at the drops of water on her first skin.

Xiaoshui...

——When exactly?

Since when did she have such an unbearable desire for Xiao Shui?

Such a deep and menacing attack almost broke her rationality and defense.

She closed her eyes tiredly.Resisting desire is too exhausting, and the ensuing self-examination is too painful.

What went wrong?

She clearly saw Xiaoshui's expectation and longing, as well as her confusion and loss when she retreated.

Xiao Shui also has admiration and attachment for her that she shouldn't have.

She made a mistake.Xiao Shui's bewildered whisper still echoed in her heart, making her almost unable to stand.

"Sister Pear..."

Tan Mingli, oh Tan Mingli, is this what Xiaoshui's elder and sister do?elder sister?What sister?The kind of sister on the bed?How ridiculous.

Xiaoshui lacked the care of her elders since she was a child, she didn't understand the world, she didn't understand love, and she didn't understand the proper way to communicate with others. Could it be that people in her nearly [-]s still don't understand? —she even experienced a marriage.Those ambiguous moments in the past came to mind, and they turned into crimes that pierced her conscience.

Should I say that I was empty and lacked companionship and comfort, or that I couldn't harden my heart to such a smart, sensitive, sincere and fragile girl?She clearly felt the uneasiness that things were out of control, but after hesitating, she still acquiesced and even condoned the deepening of the relationship between the two.

Is it an Oedipus complex, or...

No.

It has nothing to do with Xiao Shui.

It was her fault.It was my fault.

A deep self-loathing surged in Tan Mingli's heart.

She is proficient in words and good at guiding. If Xiaoshui is beautiful but not aware of it, then she has been very aware of her charm a long time ago, and because of this, she is able to exude charm even more.She knew what a powerful weapon her looks and gentleness combined.In the details of those days and nights together, she couldn't have a clear conscience, saying that she hadn't subconsciously used her maturity and charm to seduce Xiaoshui at all.

How is she different from those old men who use their age and experience advantages to confuse young girls?

Tan Mingli is an open-minded person, and never minds the gender of his lover.but--

Xiaoshui?how can sheNo……

Xiao Shui is not even an adult.

A kind of great fear lay in Tan Mingli's heart, which was a feeling she never experienced even when she divorced.For the first time in her life, she felt bewildered.

There are mistakes forward and backward, Tan Mingli can't advance or retreat.At this point, she didn't care about herself, she just wanted to... protect Xiao Shui so that she wouldn't get hurt.

what can we do about it?Tan Mingli was hesitant.

When she woke up the next day, although Tan Mingli was restless, her expression was still calm and gentle.She has always been good at keeping calm and suppressing emotions, and she is a person who can hold herself back.

After the meal was ready, she waited for a while, but Xiao Shui still didn't come out. She glanced at her watch, and it was already 07:30.

Tan Mingli felt distressed because she was exhausted from performing last night.

But today is Friday, and Xiao Shui has to go to school... Otherwise, she can put breakfast in the thermos pot, let Xiao Shui sleep a little longer, catch up on sleep and get up again.

She hesitated for a long time, and finally knocked lightly on Xiao Shui's door, "Xiao Shui? Get up, you're going to be late."

No one should.

Tan Mingli felt faintly flustered, pressed down unconsciously and knocked a few more times, the panic became more and more serious, and finally pushed the door open tentatively.

The room was very dark, and Xiao Shui used to keep the curtains completely closed when he slept. Tan Mingli was not used to coming in from the outside for the first time, so he subconsciously slowed down his steps, and softly called the girl's name again: "Xiao Shui ?”

She walked to the bed and saw the girl curled up on the bed, breathing heavily, reaching out to touch her forehead, the tentacles were hot.

Xiao Shui has a fever.

Why so suddenly?Did you catch a cold yesterday?

Tan Mingli panicked all of a sudden, stood up and went to the room to get the thermometer, hesitated for a moment when she came back, looked away as if avoiding suspicion, lifted the girl's quilt, untied Xiaoshui's collar and clamped the thermometer for her.

This thermometer is the most common kind of mercury thermometer, and it will inevitably touch some... places when it is placed.

After she clamped Xiao Shui, a little sweat broke out on her forehead.She exhaled quietly, retracted her hand and clenched it tightly, and added "buy an electronic temperature gun" to the memo.

Guilt came back again.

Xiao Shui is sick... She is still in a trance because of this inevitable physical contact.

"elder sister……"

Zhao Guangshui woke up and opened his eyes to look at her. Her face was a little pale, but her eyes were still clear.

Zhao Guangshui had a severe headache, felt uncomfortable all over his body, and his throat was dry and astringent like a fire. He didn't have the strength to say anything, so he took it easy. He just looked at the woman sitting by the bed and asked softly, "Am I sick?" ?”

She has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she is very familiar with the symptoms. In fact, she knows that she has a fever without asking.

"Maybe a little fever."

Tan Mingli's heart tightened for a moment, and he didn't care about whether to avoid suspicion or keep a distance. He bent down and squatted beside her bed, held the girl's hand, and said softly: "I saw you not coming out after a while this morning. I was not at ease, so I came in to have a look...the thermometer was just clipped on."

He touched the girl's cheek again, and asked softly, "Is there something uncomfortable? Huh? Get up and drink a little water to moisten your throat, okay?"

Zhao Guangshui responded obediently, sat up with his body propped up, drank water with his head bowed into the woman's hand, leaned against the bed, did not speak, and just quietly looked at the hands they held.

She was often sick when she was a child, and no one was with her, only the nanny took care of her all the time.The nanny grandma is a kind and kind old man with silver hair, who will lovingly pick her up and call her "little sick cat".

Once she was ill, she was in the hospital for transfusion as usual, and seeing the nanny working hard in bed, I asked her to take a rest. She can do it by herself, there is no problem.The nanny was not at ease, and finally went to catch up on her sleep after repeated assurances.

She was sitting on the hospital bed while infusing fluids, while flipping through the book with the hand that did not hang the needle.No matter what she did, she was very serious, and she was absorbed in reading for a while, until she suddenly felt dizzy.When I looked up, I realized that the potion had run out at some point. Because the vial was not changed in time, the infusion tube began to return blood, and now the bright red blood had returned half of the vial.

Because of this incident, grandpa lost his temper, dismissed the nanny and hired a new one.That was her favorite nanny grandma.

When grandma left, she wiped away her tears and said to her, Xiao Shui, it was grandma who didn't take good care of you. You must be well in the future, don't get sick, and grow up obediently.

Since then, she has been very afraid of getting sick. Every time she gets sick, she feels that she is so useless and has caused a lot of trouble to others.But this is out of her control.

Now I have to trouble Sister Pear.

Zhao Guangshui became depressed, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry... Sister Li, I caused you trouble."

Tan Mingli was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xiao Shui to say that.

Why would Xiao Shui think so?

She couldn't help being moved, and after a long silence, she said softly, "Xiao Shui, don't think so, okay?"

"It's a very normal thing to be sick...everyone gets sick, I get sick, and you don't need to feel guilty about it."

"And my sister told you before - you have never been a problem to me."

"So don't say that again, okay?"

Tan Mingli gently clenched the girl's hand, lowered her eyelashes, "I'm also very sad to hear you say that."

Zhao Guangshui looked at her in a panic, and then apologized: "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't—"

Tan Mingli gently pressed her lips to prevent her from speaking any further.

With a gentle smile, she said softly, "It seems that our Xiaoshui is not only a sick cat, but also very expensive."

Zhao Guangshui was sick, and his brain was turning slower than usual. He blinked, but he didn't realize it for a while, and saw the beautiful and gentle woman laughing with ease: "Your honor often forgets things, doesn't it?"

She reached out and tapped the girl's little finger: "Have you forgotten?"

"what……"

Zhao Guangshui was reminded by her, and suddenly remembered the agreement made that night, and suddenly felt embarrassed, "I haven't forgotten..."

Seeing that she understood, Tan Mingli also laughed, and said softly:

"Well... Let me do the math. You said sorry twice just now. According to the rules, you need to exchange two glasses of liquor. I wrote it down for you, huh?"

"When Xiao Shui recovers from his illness, I'll supervise and punish you, okay?"

She said that she would be punished, but her expression was tender and tender, and she just gently patted the girl's head.

Zhao Guangshui was silent, knowing that Sister Li deliberately teased her to divert her attention in order to tell her not to be depressed.

And Sister Li has indeed done it - she is really not as depressed as before, and she has cheered up a lot.

Why is Sister Li so nice... I really don't understand.

Her tenderness seemed to have no end.

The young girl's heart melted with warmth and sweetness, and she also had the energy to play a joke with Tan Mingli. She gently hooked the woman's finger, turned her head and smiled:

"Is this counting after autumn?"

"No," Tan Mingli saw that she was in better spirits, so she couldn't help letting go, shook her head, bent her eyes and said softly, "It's out of humanitarianism that you are sentenced to probation."

Both couldn't help laughing.

Tan Mingli looked at her watch, and it was almost time to take her temperature. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she asked Xiao Shui to take out the thermometer, and found that the girl was indeed having a fever.

Fortunately, it's not very high, just a low fever, 37°8.

But you can't relax.While browsing the nearest hospital outpatient registration, Tan Mingli asked the counselor for leave for Xiaoshui.

"elder sister……"

Zhao Guangshui called her softly.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Tan Mingli hurriedly turned off her phone and asked, "Is there something wrong? Do you still want to go to the bathroom?"

Zhao Guangshui was blushed by the woman's natural and considerate sentence "Go to the bathroom", almost forgot what he was going to say just now, paused, and then asked in a low voice: "Can you not go to the hospital?"

Tan Mingli was stunned for a moment, her expression was still soft, and she asked patiently and softly, "Well... Xiao Shui doesn't want to go? Why doesn't he want to go? Can you tell me?"

...Sister Li talked to herself as if she was coaxing a child.

Zhao Guangshui felt a little ashamed, pursed his lips, and said, "It's just... I don't really want to go."

After I finished speaking, I felt that I was very unreasonable, and I couldn't give a legitimate reason. I didn't start and end, like a child who hates children and makes trouble for no reason.

But Tan Mingli just thought about it for a while, then agreed, and responded gently: "Okay."

She bent down, carefully tucked the quilt up for the girl, and said in a gentle voice, "Our Xiao Shui needs to get better soon, okay?"

The woman lowered her brows and eyes, and she was very gentle. Today, she is wearing a low ponytail and a thin sweater with the sleeves rolled up. She looks like a virtuous and considerate wife, with a particularly lively atmosphere.

Zhao Guangshui stared at her intently, his heart filled with strange emotions.She wanted to say thank you to Sister Li seriously, but she was afraid that Sister Li would feel bad, or say something nice to make Sister Li happy, but she was still stupid and couldn't say it.

The girl, who had never been treated so tenderly before, had her heart fluctuating for a long time, her eyes were sour, and she almost shed tears. Finally, she barely held back her sobs, pretended to smile lightly, and joked: "Sister, do you want to see me drink liquor so much? "

Tan Mingli was startled for a moment, then laughed, and responded warmly:

"Yes."

Xiao Shui, you know—like I know you just want to say thank you to me.But you don't have to say it, and I don't have to.

I don't want to see you drinking white wine, I just miss you... Get well soon.
