Little Cotton

16

    Yu Ling folded the white sheet of accounting, put it together with the five crumpled fifty-fifty sheets into the potato chip bucket, and put the twenty in her hand into the pocket of her pajamas.

For things like money, Yu Ling originally wanted to pay back as much as she wanted, but Zhong Chuyun just refused to accept it, saying that there are many places where money can be used in daily life, and she can't have nothing on her body.

In short, it is just one sentence - I am not in a hurry, take your time.

Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, anyway, it's really not clear for a while.

Anyway, Zhong Chuyun said that in a human city, everyone and every monster are equal, there is no distinction between high and low, and they must support themselves if they have the ability.

That being the case, she will go out to find a job tomorrow.

Isn't it three thousand five?

Although she has only touched two hundred and seventy yuan in her life, but if she thinks about it carefully, if she calculates according to the salary offered by Sister Li, sixty a day, one thousand and eighty a month, two months is enough!

It's just that Sister Li has to work from morning to night, and doesn't rest on weekends. The salary must be much higher than other places.

If your new job is not as good, it will take more time to get the money.

But it doesn't matter, the lifespan of goblins is long, so what is a few months?

Just work hard and you'll be free in no time!

Thinking of this, Little Cotton clenched her somewhat red and swollen fists and gave herself a hard push.

After shopping for winter clothes, Zhong Chuyun went to the bedroom to catch up on sleep.

Yu Ling closed the bedroom door for her, and when she turned back to the sofa, she first turned off the heater, then turned the volume of the TV to the lowest range she could hear, and sat alone on the sofa to watch quietly. Hours of TV.

Sister Li's shop does not have a TV.

Little Mianmian, who has entered the city, cannot turn into a demon body and roll around on the grass with the wind.

During the days when she sneaked out, Yu Ling was bored and could only listen to the short video of Sister Li's brainwashing, and sat alone in front of the cashier, feeling dumbfounded.

She will think about those years in the mountains that have long passed away for her, and she will also think about the fox that was separated from her not long ago.

But the past is all in the past, no matter how you think about it, it will not change, so it is just to pass the time.

If the way to pass the time can be chosen, then rather than thinking about it, she would prefer to watch TV and see how the humans outside the mountains live on a daily basis.

It always gets dark early in winter.

At around 5:30, the light in the house dimmed, and Yu Ling ran to the door and turned on the chandelier in the living room.

Yu Ling was a little hungry, but the bedroom door was still tightly closed.

She stood in front of the bedroom door, put her ear on the door and listened for a while, but she didn't hear any movement, and then she obediently sat back on the sofa.

Considering that Zhong Chuyun may not have had a good rest recently, and today he finished his portion of dumplings after three o'clock. At this time, he was probably sleepy but not hungry, so Yu Ling couldn't bear to wake him up.

After all, this bad fox didn't rest well, no matter how you think about it, it's her fault for leaving without saying goodbye.

Although Yu Ling felt that she had a valid reason to flee and did nothing wrong in this matter, she still caused a lot of trouble for others, and she couldn't do anything else. It should, otherwise it will become a heartless and bad cotton flower.

Yu Ling thought, she just waited for Zhong Chuyun to wake up.

If it's late and you don't wake up, she'll make dinner and call her.

Time passed neither fast nor slow, before seven o'clock, the sky outside the window completely darkened.

Yu Ling walked into the kitchen and cooked the meal in advance.

At about half past seven, she got up again and walked into the kitchen, opening the refrigerator that hadn't been touched for a long time.

The last time I cooked for Zhong Chuyun was a week ago.

The dishes in the refrigerator are fresh, and it hasn't been long since I bought them when I saw them, but the pots and bowls at home have always been placed where she left them the night before. Obviously, they have never been touched this week.

Yu Ling couldn't help thinking, does Zhong Chuyun not cook when he is alone at home?

If so, did you buy these fresh vegetables after you found her?

What did you buy it for? Is it because she is afraid that she will have nothing to eat when she comes back?

No, kindness is definitely not the nature of a fox.

The reason why the bad fox prepared all the dishes in advance was probably because he knew that Cotton, who could cook for himself, was coming back, and prepared for a new round of crushing in advance.

Yes, according to the fox's cunning, Zhong Chuyun must think so.

Yu Ling muttered softly while preparing dinner for the day.

At around eight o'clock, she gently pushed open the bedroom door, and asked in a low voice, "Are you hungry?"

The bedroom lights were not turned on, the curtains were closed, and the entire inner room was pitch black.

Zhong Chuyun, who was lying on his side on the bed, turned over, and after a brief silence, he let out a raving "um".

"I've prepared all the meals, I'll wait for you to get up and eat together." Yu Ling said, walked out of the bedroom in two steps, went to the kitchen and sat down obediently.

Zhong Chuyun got up quickly, went to the bathroom to wash his mouth, and then sat beside her as usual.

We haven't seen each other for a week, and it seems that nothing has changed with each other.

Only Yu Ling knew that during the days when she left this place, she always felt a sense of loss from time to time.

Sister Li treated her very well, would eat with her, and talked a lot more than Zhong Chuyun, but she just felt that something was different.

Although she didn't want to admit it at all, Yu Ling found that she really liked being with Zhong Chuyun.

As long as she sits beside Zhong Chuyun, whether it is eating together or watching TV together, it will give her a peace of mind that cannot be described in words.

This kind of peace of mind, in the past, only the fox named Lin Shuang could give her.

But she knew that Zhong Chuyun was Zhong Chuyun, and it was very wrong to compare them unconsciously.

So she suppressed the subtle feeling of déjà vu in her heart again and again, and told herself time and time again that she could no longer rely on Zhong Chuyun like she relied on Lin Shuang.

In this world, no one can be trusted.

This is not to say that the fox is unreliable, but that she has experienced some things herself, and she understands the fact that God hates her.

A cotton flower that is not favored by the heavens, even if it meets a very reliable fox, will be split by a thunderbolt.

So she buried her head down and ate her meal seriously, without even looking at Zhong Chuyun.

After dinner, she sat back on the sofa again, tuned the channel to the movie channel, and watched two very exciting movies for her.

Zhong Chuyun looked at it for a while without interest, then got up to take a shower after a while, and finally wrapped his wet hair in a towel, went into the bedroom and played with his mobile phone.

Seeing that Zhong Chuyun didn't plan to continue watching TV, Yu Ling turned off the heater in the living room again.

By the time the two movies finished, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.

When Yu Ling returned to the room, Zhong Chuyun was still leaning on the pillow and playing with her mobile phone, her long silver hair was scattered on her shoulders, she looked almost done, and she would fall asleep after a while.

"Should I turn off the light?" Yu Ling stood by the door and asked softly.

"Shut it down." Zhong Chuyun responded.

Yu Ling nodded, and turned off the ceiling light in the bedroom.

The moment the room darkened, a white light shone at her feet.

It was the mobile phone in Zhong Chuyun's hand, and it suddenly lit up, as if a light had been turned on, and illuminated her all the way back to the upper bunk, then went dark again.

Yu Ling leaned on the guardrail of the upper bunk, poked out a small head towards the lower bunk, two braids hung down like a broom, her bright eyes were full of curiosity.

Yu Ling: "How can this thing be so bright?"

Zhong Chuyun: "Well, it has the function of a flashlight."

Yu Ling: "What is a flashlight?"

Zhong Chuyun: "A cylinder that can illuminate."

Yu Ling: "Oh... ..."

Zhong Chuyun: "Go to sleep."

"Yeah." Yu Ling responded, crossed her legs, and silently squeezed the heels and toes that were red and purple in the past few days, and then got under her buttocks to press quilt.

In the next second, she couldn't help but let out an "ah" in surprise.

The quilt was actually warm, as if someone had warmed it up for her in advance!

Yu Ling hurriedly sat up, leaned on the guardrail and poked her little head down again.

Yu Ling: "Why is the bed warm!"

Zhong Chuyun: "There is an electric blanket, and the switch is under your pillow."

Yu Ling: "Wow!" Zhong

Chuyun: "From now on, turn it on in advance at night, remember to turn it off before going to bed, it's easy not to turn it off Get angry."

Yu Ling nodded, found the switch Zhong Chuyun mentioned under the pillow, and obediently turned off the electric blanket, which was very new to her.

From the moment she was able to transform into a human form, she had never slept in such a warm bed in winter.

The small warehouse in Xiquan Mountain is cold, and the rest room in Sister Li's shop is cold. During the hundred years of being with Lin Shuang, at the coldest time, he could only bury himself in the tail of a fox to avoid the wind and cold.

It has to be said that humans can really live their lives now.

No wonder so many goblins prefer not to be as free as they are in the mountains, but to stay in human cities.

The warm blanket made Yu Ling feel sleepy very quickly.

She yawned a lot, curled up habitually, and closed her eyes.

However, her hands and feet, which were swollen from the cold, started to itch in the warm bed. Yu Ling turned back and forth several times, and finally stretched her hands and feet out of the bed, and finally fell asleep.

Perhaps because of working part-time in Sister Li's shop for a week, Yu Ling opened her eyes before half past five.

At this time, Sister Li will open the locked store door, and she will get up from the sofa, and sit with Sister Li under the cold light in the kitchen to make the dumplings that will be sold that morning.

But this is not a dumpling shop, but Zhong Chuyun's home.

What lay under her was not the sofa with broken springs, but the bed that Zhong Chuyun bought for her.

At this moment, her lower berth is quiet.

The city is also quiet.

Yu Ling grabbed a corner of the quilt, stared at the ceiling where the wallpaper was slightly rolled up, and stared blankly.

Around seven o'clock, Zhong Chuyun woke up.

Yu Ling listened to the movement and got up from the bed together.

The fox, who is usually very elegant, is half-closed his sleepy eyes at the moment, his long silver hair is a little messy in sleep, and he staggered out of the bedroom as if he hadn't woken up.

It was the first time Yu Ling saw Zhong Chuyun like this, she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so she had to wrap her little quilt and cover her mouth.

Soon, she crawled out of the warm blanket, got out of bed and put on her slippers, hugged herself and shivered a few times.

When I walked out of the bedroom, the bathroom door was still locked, and there was the sound of water rushing inside.

Yu Ling turned into the kitchen, wanting to make breakfast, and just as soon as she opened the refrigerator, she heard the sound of the bathroom door being opened.

Zhong Chuyun took a few steps to the kitchen door, looked at her and said lightly: "You wash first."

"Oh!" Yu Ling obediently closed the refrigerator door, turned and ran into the bathroom.

When she finished washing up, the delicious breakfast was ready.

Ham and eggs are sandwiched between two slices of warm bread, and the warm milk also exudes a rich milky aroma.

Zhong Chuyun clearly saw through Yu Ling's small stomach hiding a big stomach that looked like a starving ghost, so there was only one in front of him, but there were three in front of Yu Ling.

Yu Ling grew up so big, she had never eaten such a breakfast, it was delicious and novel to her.

"What is this!" Yu Ling asked.

"Sandwich."

"How did you do it?" Yu Ling asked again.

"It's very simple, I'll teach you after eating."

Zhong Chuyun's tone showed no sense of impatience. After Yu Ling drank the last sip of milk, she did learn how to use the sandwich maker under her simple teaching.

Yu Ling touched the square and flat guy, and whispered, "Why haven't I seen this thing before." "I just

bought it a few days ago." Zhong Chuyun said, his eyebrows and eyes slightly curved, and the fundus of his eyes was rarely exposed. A trace of tenderness, "It will be more convenient to have breakfast in the future."

"It's too powerful." Yu Ling said, raising her eyes and asked, "Can I make another one?" Lip explained, "I... I'm not full, I just want to give it a try."

"You do it, I'm going to work." Zhong Chuyun said, walked to the door, and picked up the bag on the shoe cabinet , Before leaving, I didn't forget to remind, "Remember to bring the keys when you go out."

This fox, who hasn't seen him for a week, talks a little more.

Thinking of this, Yu Ling couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

After eating the last sandwich, she cleaned the sandwich machine and put it back to its original position. She put on the clothes that Zhong Chuyun lent her, took the keys and the twenty yuan she put into her pajamas pocket yesterday, and took the money to pay off the debt. With a good wish, he bounced and ran out of the house.

It was past five thirty in the afternoon when Yu Ling came home.

After bumping into walls all day, not only didn't earn a dime, but also spent twelve yuan for lunch, Xiao Mian returned home with the cold outside.

Until this moment, she found a serious problem.

She has no "education" as humans say, no so-called skills, and no convincing work experience.

She is not needed for jobs that require the above conditions, let alone manual jobs.

Although she is a very hard-working cotton demon, in the eyes of humans, she is just a thin little girl who can't lift her shoulders or hands, and no one wants to use her.

It turned out that she was able to find a job on the first day after she ran away from home. It was pure luck that she met a good man.

But no matter how aggrieved he was when he was looking for a job during the day, the creditor's dinner could not be delayed. After all, the hardworking cotton made Zhong Chuyun eat hot meals immediately after returning home.

During the meal, Yu Ling kept thinking that Zhong Chuyun should ask her if she found a job today.

If she finds a job today, she can puff up her chest at this very moment.

But the fact is that she didn't find a job, and the little money she had on her body has dwindled. If Zhong Chuyun found out, she would definitely laugh at her.

So she decided that if Zhong Chuyun asked her, she would say that she didn't go out today, so that the fact that she went out but failed to find a job would become a joke in the eyes of bad foxes.

Yu Ling thought about it, and found that the meal was finished, but Zhong Chuyun had no intention of "concerning" her at all, and couldn't hold back for a moment, gritted her teeth, and finished cleaning all the dishes angrily.

Logically speaking, if Zhong Chuyun asked this question, she would definitely feel ashamed.

But the strange thing was that Zhong Chuyun was indifferent to this matter, which was obviously a good thing, but she couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed.

Yu Ling stood by the sink and thought for a long time, finally shook her head, patted her cheeks with her cold fingers, turned and walked out of the kitchen.

Today's Zhong Chuyun kicked the heater farther.

Just now when Yu Ling stepped forward, she saw a round, short dark bottle on the coffee table.

She stood by the coffee table and bent over curiously. There were many small characters on the bottle cap, but the largest and most conspicuous five characters were - Snake Oil Chilblain Ointment.

Chilblain ointment?

Did the bad fox buy it for her?

Yu Ling blinked at Zhong Chuyun with some doubts, and asked in a low voice, "Did you buy it for me?" "

Yes." Zhong Chuyun responded lightly, "Two or three times a day, wash and wipe."

"How much is it?" ?" Yu Ling asked subconsciously.

"...Don't forget this, I can use it anyway." Zhong Chuyun said.

"Really?" Yu Ling looked suspicious.

She looked at Zhong Chuyun's hands, those white and slender fingers did not look like they had frostbite.

The fox must be deceiving.

Only a real fool would believe that a monster with such a high cultivation base can suffer from frostbite, right?

Just when Yu Ling was about to pierce it, Zhong Chuyun suddenly raised his eyes and glared at her.

The look in that moment seemed to tell her - stop talking nonsense and wipe it off quickly.

The timid Mian Mian didn't dare to say anything more, she immediately pursed her lips, held the small bottle in her hand, and whispered: "Thank you." After a short

silence, Yu Ling sat down beside Zhong Chuyun, He unscrewed the cap, and applied the ointment to each of his fingers little by little.

After wiping, she saw Zhong Chuyun get up and walk into the bathroom. When he came out again, he actually held a pot of steaming water in his hand, and put it at her feet without saying a word.

"Wipe the feet too." Zhong Chuyun said, and sat back beside Yu Ling again.

Yu Ling blinked in bewilderment.

Anyone can see the frostbite on their hands, but Zhong Chuyun even discovered that he had frostbite on his feet?

Wait a minute...

The point of the matter, isn't this fox fetching a basin of water for her to wash her feet?

A fox, a fox that is not necessarily very noble now, but was definitely very noble in the past, actually washed the feet of a cotton flower that no one has looked at since it was a child? !

She is not dreaming, is she?

After a long period of silence, the little disappointment in Yu Ling's heart when she was washing the dishes seemed to melt into the air with the warm steam at her feet, and then disappeared without a trace.

She thought, this fox still cares about cotton.

Hmm...

don't call her a bad fox from now on.

Thinking this way, Yu Ling admitted that besides Lin Shuang, there is another fox in this world.

Of course, just "temporarily".

The author has something to say:

Here I come, although there is no double update, but the number of words is really fat, rounding up is double update.

If there is no accident, this article will probably enter V on Wednesday this week, and after V, it will explode more quickly. Xinkeng is the time to strive for exposure on the monthly and quarterly rankings. Comments are very important to me. I also hope that the little angels can leave more comments, and one more warm scumbag author for each chapter, so that we can create a better tomorrow for sustainable development!
