The group of people did not seem to notice the direction they were heading in. They just followed behind Zuo Hancheng, smiling so hard that their faces looked like they were about to break a bun.
Anhao lowered her head and looked at her ankle. She had been too anxious to avoid the blisters on the back of her ankle, so she didnât pay attention to them. The pain made her tense up, but she didnât dare to make a sound.
When Zuo Hanchengs figure finally disappeared from her sight, he seemed to have already gotten into the car and did not turn around.
Anhao turned around and avoided the parking lot. She ran to the lawn behind the flower bed and sat down on the stone steps. She looked down at her feet. She couldnât walk anymore. She didnât recognize anyone on the road. She took out her phone and searched for Huang Amaoâs number.
Twenty minutes later.
âGu Anhao, are you crazy? Your feet are already like this, yet youâre still wearing high heels! âHuang Amao looked at the red, swollen, and bruised areas on her feet as he handed her the medicine and band-aid he had bought from the pharmacy.ââThen, I saw that you were in a hurry over the phone just now. When I bought it, I didnât know what to buy either. Do you want to apply some medicine first or use the band-aid first?â
Anhao smiled and took the bag from her. She took out the medicine and disinfectant from it, and then saw that there was something like gauze inside.
â Do you think that Iâm going to be so bad or what? After buying so many things, he could just use the band-aid to deal with it.âAlthough Anhao said that, it was a sunny day and there was nothing to do at home anyway. She sat there and disinfected the swollen and broken skin on her feet while she turned to look at Huang Amao.
They hadnât seen each other for three years. Although he had video called her and Chunchun many times in the past few years, it wasnât difficult to send a short video call since WeChat was so popular now.
However, when he saw Huang Amao in person, he realized that Huang Amao had also lost the look of a tomboy with short blonde hair. His hair had turned back to black and had grown a little longer. He still looked more feminine than three years ago.
However, the clothes she wore were still gender-neutral, neither male nor female, and did not look proper.
âShould I stop calling you Huang Amao?âAnhao looked at her for a while before she smiled and continued to apply the medicine on her foot. She endured the excruciating pain and gritted her teeth as she continued to apply the medicine.
Huang Amao rolled his eyes.â
Anhao was instantly overjoyed. She stretched out her feet that had been treated with medicine and let the sun shine on them to promote the absorption of the medicine on her feet. Then, she turned to look at her.âFortunately, youâre in A City. Otherwise, 1 donât know who to look for to help me.â
Huang Amao looked back at the venue.ââWhy didnât you tell Chunchun and me in advance that you were returning to the country? Chunchun is still interning at the devilâs company and couldnât make it back in time. She probably wonât be able to come back until the weekend to see you. Iâm fine. My family arranged for me to be an operator in the police station. They said that they hoped that I could develop in the public security department in the future.
Damn, I have to answer 110 calls all day. Itâs so boring!â
âIs this boring? When he picked up the phone, it was either a robbery or a murder. How could such an exciting thing be boring?â
Huang Amao snorted and was too lazy to talk about his work. ââItâs just an internship anyway. We donât know what we want to do in the future. Unlike you, who suddenly went abroad for no reason three years ago. Chunchun and I were so scared that we thought you had disappeared from the face of the earth and looked for you everywhere. If it wasnât for your conscience that finally found you and was willing to contact us, we would definitely have called the police. â
âWhy call the police?â
âHe reported Zuo Hancheng for murdering his wife and then buried the body in some grove. Otherwise, why couldnât we find him no matter how hard we tried? We couldnât get through to him either. Zuo Hancheng even refused to let us see you and him.â
Anhao felt a chill down her spine. She immediately raised her hand and knocked on her shoulder.âGet lost, stop cursing me!â
Huang Amao sat down beside her with an annoyed expression and said,ââDo you think that after you went abroad, Chunchun and I cursed you a few times?
âl was wondering why my ears were always hot and I kept sneezing when I first went abroad. So it was the two of you behind my back.â
âYou ran too far away. Our families are too strict and we canât fly over to strangle you. If you were closer to us, we would definitely arrive the next day.
If we didnât strangle you, our names would be written upside down.â
Anhao continued to smile. At the same time, she saw that the medicine on her feet was gone. She stuck the bandages on the few places where the skin had been torn and put on the high heels again. Although it didnât hurt as much as before when she put them on, it still hurt when she wanted to stand up. Her legs trembled and she sat back down again.
Huang Amao smiled sarcastically when he saw how she looked like she was about to be crippled.ââYou deserve it. I told you to wear high heels. Didnât you hate wearing these things the most in the past?â
âDo you think I want to? These few years, when I was working as an intern in the United States, I often ran to the construction site, so 1 always wore flat shoes and sports shoes. Moreover, I came for an interview today, so I specially bought a pair of high heels to wear. Who knew that it would hurt so badlyâ¦â
Huang Amao glanced at her high heels.ââYo, itâs high heels from XXX. Arenât their shoes famous for their comfort? You can actually ground your feet to this extent. Could it be that youâve walked a long distance in high heels these past two days?â
Anhao suddenly remembered how she had gotten off the bus early on impulse yesterday and walked for so long before returning home. The corners of her mouth twitched but she didnât explain. She continued to rub her ankle with her hand.âForget it, itâs fine. We have to wait for the news anyway. We might as well rest at home for the next two days. This is only a small injury.
Compared to coming back alive from the car accident back then, itâs nothing.â
When Huang Amao heard her mention the car accident, he didnât say anything for a while. He just held it in, but in the end, he couldnât hold it in anymore and asked directly,ââWhy did you suddenly leave back then? Was it because of Zuo Hancheng? Because of Rong Xue? Orâ¦â
âNo.â Anhao interrupted her, but her voice was very soft.âlf there was no relationship between him and Zuo Hancheng, he would have given up his life for me. How could I have left so easily?â
âBut in the end, you still left without a conscience?âHuang Amao thought that Gu Anhao must have lost her mind after studying abroad. That was why she couldnât even speak logically..
