Ou Mucen was confused for a moment, "You’re going to wash me?"
Ye Ning quickly explained, "No, that’s not what I mean. Don’t misunderstand, I meant... I can use a wet towel to wipe you down first, just like we did in Japan, and then... You can have a proper wash at the hospital tomorrow."
When she mentioned the word "Japan," her tone naturally paused for a moment, as if she was afraid he would be upset.
Japan, for him, probably wasn’t a very happy memory.
However, what she didn’t expect was that after she had said this, the man standing in front of the bathroom sink looking at himself in the mirror, after thinking it over, actually agreed to her suggestion, "But I want my entire body wiped."
"My whole body is uncomfortable!"
Standing there, her face flushed red as she stared at the man for a long time, eventually, she still plunged the towel into the sink filled with hot water.
Whether he meant his whole body or not, they would address that later. Perhaps she wouldn’t even have wiped him down twice when he might become uncomfortable again, deeming her clumsy, just like before in Japan.
So, after preparing the hot water, the man finally began to unbutton his clothes, one by one.
This was a mature man, 28 years old, ripe both mentally and physically. Ye Ning didn’t dare to look, but her heart was already beating furiously, thumping loudly.
Back in Japan, when she wiped his body, he hadn’t been very lucid, and plus, he had been bedridden, hardly able to react.
But now it was different, apart from the wound, he was normal, and here she was, a woman, about to wipe down his body right in front of him. Wasn’t that a bit improper?
Ye Ning smelled the strong, distinctively male hormone scent that filled the air as soon as his clothes were opened, and her entire face turned so red it seemed it might start dripping blood.
It was a very strong and muscular body, with a stature over six feet tall, his skin very pale, the result of years of pampered living, but healthy nonetheless—strong bones and powerful muscles. If it weren’t for the wound on his lower right abdomen, she could almost see his abs.
Such a physique was so perfect it could make someone’s nose bleed!
"Do you like what you see?"
"Do you need a tissue?"
Immediately, she tossed the towel into the water, bowed her head, and didn’t dare to look at him anymore.
The man still standing there caught a glimpse of amusement in his deep eyes and didn’t tease her any further. He casually stood there, waiting for her to help him wipe down.
Shortly after, when she saw the girl’s fair and delicate fingers wring out the towel in the sink, a faint citrus scent passed by her nose. She took the towel and went behind him, "Is the temperature okay?"
It felt like the gentle scratching of a kitten’s paws on his skin, soft and tender, which inexplicably made his heart start to soften.
After a while, when she was done wiping his back, she drained the water from the sink and filled it with fresh warm water, then, with the towel, she moved to his front.
"Do you... want me to add some shower gel?"
The scent of shower gel, it’s all chemical ingredients, but her scent was the most natural and sweet citrus fragrance. He would have to be foolish to prefer that stuff over hers.
