Chapter 343: Bathing and Discovering Chi Caocao's Injury
Chapter 343: Bathing and Discovering Chi Caocao's Injury
When he arrived near the bathhouse, Lu Yuanqiu saw from afar three girls standing at the door waiting.
"Lu Yuanqiu!"
Liu Wangchun stood between Chi Caocao and Bai Qingxia, stood on tiptoe and waved at Lu Yuanqiu.
"I'm so sorry to bother you again today. There are only four or five days left in the military training. If you hold on a little longer, I'll treat you to dinner when you get to school." Liu Wangchun said to Lu Yuanqiu apologetically.
Lu Yuanqiu smiled and waved his hands: "It doesn't matter, it's nothing, it's just a small favor."
Bai Qingxia smiled at him, and Lu Yuanqiu smiled back.
The women's bathhouse was completely deserted, and no one had come to use it until now. Lu Yuanqiu looked at Chi Caocao at this time. Today he could finally see what this little girl looked like. Maybe it was because her messy hair was spread out to the sides today, revealing her face.
Chi Caocao has a small round face but big eyes. She is very cute, but she looks a little weak.
Lu Yuanqiu leaned over and approached her: "Little sister, I have been standing guard for you, don't you even say thank you big brother?"
Chi Caocao lowered her head and quickly hid behind Bai Qingxia, still not saying a word and still being afraid of people.
Lu Yuanqiu was somewhat accustomed to it. Chi Caocao was like Bai Qingxia 2.0. The few interactions between him and Chi Caocao usually ended with the little girl avoiding him.
"Where's Long Liandong?"
Lu Yuanqiu asked.
Liu Wangchun rolled his eyes: "She may not be back from the activity room yet. I didn't add her contact information. It's really troublesome. Didn't you know that she took a shower today?"
"She's coming." Bai Qingxia suddenly raised her chin and pointed in the direction behind Lu Yuanqiu.
Behind them, a girl in a military training uniform trotted over with a bag on her back. She stopped breathlessly and explained, "Sorry, I thought Lu Yuanqiu didn't agree..." She glanced at Lu Yuanqiu and added, "My spare clothes and toiletries are in the dormitory."
Liu Wangchun: "Forget it, don't go back to get it. Use my toiletries. Wear the clothes you're wearing after you take a shower. It will be enough to hold you over."
Long Liandong nodded. She didn’t like making others wait for her.
The five people entered the bathhouse, and Lu Yuanqiu still placed the "Under Maintenance" sign in the middle of the door.
As soon as he entered the locker room, Lu Yuanqiu saw a book about to fall from the outer layer of Long Liandong's backpack. He quickly stepped forward and caught it with one hand: "Wow!"
Long Liandong turned around immediately.
Lu Yuanqiu looked at the cover of the book and said with a smile, "Higashino Keigo, this is for you. I almost dropped it on the ground just now."
Bai Qingxia turned around and looked over here.
Long Liandong took the book from Lu Yuanqiu, and her eyes lit up for once: "You also read Keigo Higashino's books?"
Lu Yuanqiu shrugged and explained: "I have seen it, but I didn't watch "White Night Walk". I watched "Time Life" and "Secret".
Long Liandong seemed very interested in this topic. Perhaps she was very happy to find out that Lu Yuanqiu shared the same hobby as her. She quickly asked, "Which of the two do you like?"
Lu Yuanqiu raised his hand solemnly: "Shisheng is the eternal god!"
Long Liandong: "I think Shisheng is pretty, too."
Lu Yuanqiu said seriously: "I finished reading it in one night. After reading it, I wanted to write a novel about traveling back in time and becoming friends with my father."
Long Liandong finally laughed: "I also finished reading it in one night, and I also had the idea of writing a novel."
"Ah, what a coincidence." Lu Yuanqiu smiled. At this moment, he suddenly noticed Bai Qingxia's eyes looking at him, and his smile suddenly froze. Lu Yuanqiu scratched his head and rubbed his eyes. He walked to the side, opened the cabinet door and checked if there was any pervert hiding in the cabinet.
Bai Qingxia's eyes were not particularly fierce, just somewhat empty and with a subtle sense of loss. She withdrew her gaze and quietly put the things into the cabinet.
She didn't know who Higashino Keigo was, and she didn't know what story Shi Sheng was telling. It felt like when she was in junior high school, she listened to her good friends talking to others about celebrities, food, and the wonderful content in their QQ space. She knew nothing and couldn't get a word in.
Liu Wangchun complained: "What a mess. People also read books from that country."
Lu Yuanqiu cleared his throat, walked to the door somewhat awkwardly, and squatted down with his back to the locker behind him.
Long Liandong ignored Liu Wangchun and started taking off his clothes next to the closet door.
"Cao Cao, you..."
Lu Yuanqiu heard Liu Wangchun's surprised cry from behind him, but Liu Wangchun didn't continue.
Bai Qingxia then asked with concern: "...Does it hurt?"
no respond.
Listening to the voice behind him, Lu Yuanqiu asked, "What happened to her? Is she injured?"
Liu Wangchun responded: "She had a lot of bruises on her body, as if she was beaten by someone."
"Ah?!" Lu Yuanqiu wanted to turn around, but Liu Wangchun quickly said, "Don't look back. Let's take a shower first and talk about it after we're done."
Lu Yuanqiu could only nod: "Okay, then you guys go wash it quickly, is she seriously ill?"
Liu Wangchun: "Her back is covered with wounds! This girl acted like nothing happened and didn't say a word. She is really patient. If we hadn't taken a shower together, we wouldn't have known about it."
There was the sound of four people walking past behind him. Not long after, Liu Wangchun's voice came from the bathroom cubicle: "Lu Yuanqiu, you can come over!"
Lu Yuanqiu walked to his guard position.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want to check... if she has any other injuries?"
A few minutes later, Liu Wangchun shouted, "There are many old wounds on the thighs, back, and arms. The one on the back is relatively new."
This child is so introverted, could it be related to these injuries? Lu Yuanqiu wondered in his heart.
Half an hour later, everyone finished their bath. At the entrance of the bathhouse, Lu Yuanqiu grabbed Chi Caocao's arm and said, "Shall I take you to the infirmary?"
But Chi Caocao ignored her and pulled her arms back hard. Her eyebrows were already furrowed under her messy, wet hair.
Bai Qingxia softly advised: "We will take you to see if you have any other injuries. You can also tell us who bullied you."
Lu Yuanqiu had just lifted her sleeves to take a look, and there were indeed a lot of bruises. This level could even be called abuse. Lu Yuanqiu suddenly thought of Lu Yidong. They were both 14 years old, the same age, but different situations. This made him feel uncomfortable.
"Come with me to the infirmary!" Lu Yuanqiu's voice became serious and he pulled her.
Chi Caocao cried out, screamed "Ah", then opened her mouth and bit Lu Yuanqiu's arm. Lu Yuanqiu let go in pain and took a step back. Chi Caocao quickly ran away with her basin.
"What's going on..." Lu Yuanqiu was confused.
Bai Qingxia quickly took his hand and looked at the teeth marks on it. There was no bleeding, but the area had turned white and blue, and the teeth marks looked very deep. She frowned with some heartache.
"It's okay, I'm fine." Lu Yuanqiu said quickly.
Long Liandong then spoke: "I found that she was injured a few days ago."
Liu Wangchun asked: "Why didn't you mention it?"
Long Liandong looked indifferent: "Why should I mention other people's private affairs?"
