Inferior star

Wei Yu was eating porridge with preserved egg and lean meat, when Xu Mingzhao pushed down the doorknob with his elbow, and rushed in with his whole body.

Xu Mingzhao was carrying porridge and buns in one hand, and a large bag of fruit in the other. He walked straight to his bedside with no expression on his face, and put the things down with a "bang".

"Isn't it just chickenpox? No one has ever had it. You kept it from me." The anger in the sentence gradually receded, "...I just can't believe it." Xu Mingzhao looked at Wei Yu.

"No, I just don't want to trouble you." Wei Yu lowered his head and took a mouthful of porridge.

"I didn't bother you much before." Xu Mingzhao took out the steamed buns and the porridge in the thermos cup from the bag, "Is it enough for you to eat a bowl of porridge?"

"Enough. Eat what you brought."

Wei Yu took a small bottle of detergent and got up to wash the dishes and spoons. Xu Mingzhao quickly put down the food and grabbed what was in his hand.

"My mother said that you can't touch water if you have chickenpox."

"I don't have any growth on my hand. It's okay."

"Then don't wash it, I'll wash it together after you finish eating. Oh, by the way, how did you dry your clothes these days?"

"Ask the nurse to take it to the laundry across the street."

"Oh. You'd rather trouble a nurse than trouble me."

"I……"

"Okay, I won't tease you. I'll take the clothes home and wash them before bringing them to you. You don't have to bother others."

"……Um."

"Did you tell your parents?

"No.... Mom and Dad can't come back, and grandpa can't come here. Talking about it will only make him worry."

"Yeah. That's right. How are you doing alone these few days?"

"pretty good."

"You didn't miss me either?"

Thought.But Wei Yu couldn't speak, and blushed.

"I found it really interesting to tease you." Xu Mingzhao laughed, wolfed down his food, took all the tableware and went to the water room for cleaning. When he came back, he happened to meet the nurse rounding the room.

"There is slight blood on the quilt that was changed at noon today. It may be that the blisters have burst somewhere. You should pay attention."

"Okay, thank you."

Xu Mingzhao greeted the nurse who was going out, put the things back on the table beside the bed, and looked at Wei Yu.

"You can't take a bath these days."

"Ah."

"Then let me wipe it for you, and by the way, help you see where the blisters are broken."

"I wipe it myself."

"You can do it behind your back? Don't break all the backs."

Wei Yu didn't speak.

"You're really shy, what do men care about?" Xu Mingzhao turned around, with a malicious smile on his face, "Or do you want some little nurse to look at it for you, I'll go Let me ask you if it's okay."

"Xu Mingzhao!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Xu Mingzhao bent down and took out the plastic washbasin from under the bed, pulled down the towel hanging on the horizontal bar beside the table, and walked to the bathroom, "Come on."

Wei Yu and Xu Mingzhao huddled next to the sink in the public bathroom, Xu Mingzhao stood and waited after twisting the towel, Wei Yu turned his back to Xu Mingzhao uneasily, and hesitantly took off his upper body clothes.

Xu Mingzhao stood close and observed Wei Yu's back carefully. There were muscles in the back but it didn't look bloated, and the spine was straight.There were only three chickenpox spots on my back, all of which had flattened to dark brown and started to scab over.

He pressed the towel on Wei Yu's back and wiped it gently, carefully avoiding the area around the chicken pox.The surface of the towel was a little rough after being used for a long time, and Wei Yu's skin was pink after being rubbed.

"Your skin is very thin and sensitive. I didn't use much force. Your back is red."

Wei Yu didn't answer, and leaned forward to hide, Xu Mingzhao quickly put his left hand on Wei Yu's waist, and hugged Wei Yu back.

"I haven't finished wiping it yet, what are you hiding from?"

He wiped from Wei Yu's neck to his waist carefully, and stroked Wei Yu's waist lightly with his hand, motioning him to turn around.

"The back is not broken, let me look at the front."

"Xu Mingzhao, you go out." Wei Yu, who had been silent just now, suddenly threw out such a sentence.

Before Xu Mingzhao could react, Wei Yu quickly took the towel in his hand, pushed him around, turned the lock on the bathroom door, opened the door with his right hand, and pushed him out with his left hand.

The door was almost slammed shut, and with a "click", it was locked again.

"...What are you doing?" Xu Mingzhao felt that Wei Yu didn't know what to say, and he was baffled.

Wei Yu held the edge of the sink to calm himself down.

The bathroom is too small, just now Xu Mingzhao was very close to him, so close that Xu Mingzhao's breath hit his back directly, Xu Mingzhao wiped his back very gently, the towel was slowly placed on different places on his back, which made him a little itchy.

Itch is different from chickenpox.

A voice amplified by the tiles came from beside my ears: "Your skin is very thin and sensitive. I didn't use much force, and your back is red." His tone was honest, but Wei Yu was not thinking honestly.

Then came the temperature of Xu Mingzhao's hand from his waist.Xu Mingzhao seemed to be afraid of accidentally touching the chickenpox in front of his body, so he kept his whole hand away, with very little contact with his skin, groped lightly with his fingertips, and pushed him back.

very itchy.

Wei Yu found himself reacting.

After he drove Xu Mingzhao out, he waited in the bathroom for a while, and returned to the ward when he felt that there was no problem. Xu Mingzhao was playing a game and didn't look at him directly.

"That... I'm sorry. I just don't want you to see me..."

"Oh. OK." Xu Mingzhao quickly tapped the screen with his fingers.

"Will you still come tomorrow?"

"I didn't say I was going to leave today."

"You go back today. There's nothing here for washing or anything. If you come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll bring you the three sets of dirty clothes that you changed... home to wash. I will wash my underwear every day."

"Okay." Xu Mingzhao stood up and walked towards the door without taking his eyes off the phone screen.

"Xu Mingzhao."

Xu Mingzhao stopped.

"Take the fruit back, I can't eat it."

Xu Mingzhao left without looking back.

Wei Yu slept lightly in the middle of the night, and felt someone touching his neck in a hazy state. He thought he was dreaming and woke up with a start.

The bedside lamp in the ward was turned on, and he squinted, unable to see clearly the person against the light.

"Don't move." Xu Mingzhao's voice was lower than usual.

Xu Mingzhao's hand slowly moved away from Wei Yu's neck, and the touch of the thread passed over Wei Yu's neck.

Wei Yu reached out and grabbed the headphone cable, and said to Xu Mingzhao, "I'll do it myself."

"Did you fall asleep listening to music?"

"Ah."

"Whose song?"

"Jay Chou."

"Which song is he?"

""Hair Like Snow"."

"Do you often fall asleep while listening to music?"

"Ah."

"It's very dangerous. After falling asleep, the earphones fall out of the ears, and the earphone wires are wrapped around the neck. It is very dangerous."

"nothing."

"Something happened."

Wei Yu straightened the headphone cable and put it on the table.Xu Mingzhao grabbed his wrist, and he quickly clenched his hand into a fist.

"Don't hide."

Xu Mingzhao pushed his fingers away vigorously, and placed them under the light to look after them.

Wei Yu has always had the habit of biting his nails. He knows it's bad, but he can't change it.The nail bed of the nail becomes shorter and shorter after years of gnawing, and barbs often grow on the edge of the nail.Wei Yu likes to pull out the barbs very cleanly.

Pulled blood dripping.

Xu Mingzhao didn't let go of Wei Yu's hand, and pressed his fingertips unexpectedly.

Wei Yu hissed in pain.

"It hurts and bites."

"Pain... is better than itching."

"How long have you been like this?"

"It's been a long time."

"Stop biting. It's dirty. And ugly."

"I bit it before I knew it. I can't change it."

"As long as you want to change it, you can change it." Xu Mingzhao rubbed Wei Yu's palm with his thumb, "If you don't want to talk about some things, I won't ask, but if you want to talk, remember to ask me."

"Ah."

Xu Mingzhao put down his hands, went to the bathroom with the toiletries, changed his pajamas when he came back, pulled the seat beside the bed into a simple bed and fixed it, turned off the light, and lay down.

"You look like a 'senior' today."

"Really, call 'Senior' to listen."

"..."

"It's nothing like that. The title 'Senior' just means that I studied earlier. I'm your senior no matter what."

"Too."

"In the future, maybe I still need you to take care of me."

"Ah."

"Don't you really call me 'Senior'?"

"Xu Mingzhao, good night."

Xu Mingzhao burst out laughing.

"Student, good night."

When Xu Mingzhao went to the hospital after taking his things, Wei Yu had already fallen asleep.He turned on the bedside lamp and saw Wei Yu lying on his side, the white headphone cable tightly wrapped around Wei Yu's neck.

He pressed the button of Wei Yu's mobile phone like a ghost, and the main interface showed that Wei Yu was listening to Buddhist scriptures.

He stared at Wei Yu's hand, knowing where the blood the nurse said came from.

He remembered that when his mother cut his nails when he was a child, he accidentally cut them too short, and it hurt.

While waiting to wash up, he searched for "nail biting" on his mobile phone, and the results were quickly displayed.

"Nail biting is a common bad habit in childhood. Most children's nail biting behavior can disappear with age, and a few stubborn people can continue to adults. Psychologically speaking, nail biting sometimes reflects a psychological emotion. It is often associated with emotions such as tension, depression, depression, and feelings of inferiority."

A few days later, he took a bottle of bitter nail water to the hospital.

"What is this? Nail polish?" Wei Yu read the inscription on the bottle.

"Bitter nail water, if you apply it on your nails, you will have a bitter taste when your mouth is close to the nails. My mother said that I used this to quit biting my nails when I was a child."

"It's not good for boys to paint this..."

"It must be painted. Reach out."

Xu Mingzhao took Wei Yu's fingers and brushed every nail well, and asked Wei Yu to dry his hands.The bitter nail water forms a thick transparent film on the nails, which really looks like nail polish.

"I'm thinking of painting nail polish for my future girlfriend, so I'll use you as a practice."

"Ah."

In the afternoon, Wei Yu washed an apple and ate it. Xu Mingzhao chewed it slowly while playing with his mobile phone and almost finished the apple. Wei Yu still had more than half of the apple in his hand.

"Can't you eat it?"

"No." Wei Yu stammered, "Bitter."

The power of Kujiashui is really great. When Wei Yu washed the apples, he rubbed the surface of the apples carefully with his hands, and got this hard-to-eat apple.

Xu Mingzhao took Wei Yu's apple and took a bite, chewed it and spat it into the trash can.

"It's really bitter, but it's okay, you don't dare to bite your nails anymore. I'll wash it for you again."

Xu Mingzhao came back with the apple and handed it to Wei Yu.

Wei Yu was afraid that the bitter taste would infiltrate after touching the apple, so his outstretched hand froze in the air.

There are no knives and chopping boards, and they cannot be cut into pieces and eaten with a toothpick.

Xu Mingzhao sat down, pulled the chair closer, put his hand holding the apple in front of Wei Yu's face, and said, "Then I'll feed you with it."

"Eat it yourself." Wei Yu pushed his hand away.

"I just finished one."

"Then you take it to the nurse to eat."

"There's nothing to be courteous about, I'm afraid she'll think too much." Xu Mingzhao insisted on reaching out to him, "Eat."

Wei Yu moved forward and tried to bite, but the apple skin was too smooth, and his teeth could not use his strength, and Xu Mingzhao's hand retreated unconsciously.He went all out, reached out and grabbed Xu Mingzhao's arm and sent the apple forward, leaving a big hole on the surface of the apple.

He let go of Xu Mingzhao's arm. Xu Mingzhao smiled and said, "It's really hard to eat an apple."

"Yes." Wei Yu chewed the apple in his mouth, it was crisp and sweet.

He ate the rest in the same way.
