He knew what the wooden board was for.

It is very strenuous for disabled people to sit in a wheelchair on their own. At home, for convenience, they often choose to move by lying on a wooden board, which is naturally not a very pleasant posture.

No wonder Jiang Yu had never mentioned the specifics of her situation at home before.

That position, for a girl...

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if others found out?

The small house was devoid of any signs of life. Even with the lights on, Xia Che felt a sense of stagnation.

This atmosphere... is very similar to the atmosphere when your parents had just passed away, and you learned that you would have to rely on yourself for everything from then on, feeling hopeless about the future.

"it hurts."

Xia Che saw a portrait of a deceased person hanging in the living room and was about to take a closer look when he felt a sharp pain in his finger. Only then did he realize that the water temperature was a bit too high.

"If you dare to look again, I'll kill you."

Jiang Yu said quietly.

"Hahaha……"

It seemed she had already noticed. Xia Che felt a little embarrassed, smiled, and didn't say anything more. He switched to cold water and continued to test the water temperature.

The medicinal herbs dissolved in the water, gradually turning the surface of the water a light mint-like color, which was almost invisible unless you looked closely.

Therefore, there's no need to worry about Jiang Yu noticing the color is wrong and then asking her how she should answer.

He wanted to say something, to encourage Jiang Yu to face life with courage, but the words just wouldn't come out.

Xia Che considers himself a very good roaster, eloquent and always able to find a way out of even the most awkward situations, but today he has been speechless more than once.

Fate is a coward who preys on the weak and fears the strong; it only bullies the pitiful and never dares to give the wicked a second glance.

A silence fell over the room.

"You can wash now."

Xia Che tried it, and the water temperature was just right.

"Wait a minute..."

Jiang Yu wheeled herself into a room and soon came out carrying a bath towel.

"Here, wrap this around yourself to prevent it from getting wet."

Jiang Yu handed over a bath towel, which moved Xia Che deeply, and he quickly tied it around his body.

What a kind person...

She even considered this aspect; she truly is a beautiful and kind-hearted girl.

"As for this... I don't have that many towels at home, so you can make do with a rag for now. Stick your head over here, I'm going to blindfold you."

Jiang Yu waved a somewhat worn-out green rag in her hand, speaking with great conviction.

Xia Che: ……

Give me back the emotion I felt just now!

Is blindfolding someone with a rag how you treat your benefactor?!

And was the rag even washed?

It feels like it was being used to wipe the toilet just a second ago!

"Don't worry, the rag is clean. I washed it many times. I'm so sorry, please understand."

Jiang Yu felt a little embarrassed, but there was nothing she could do. Having a boy help her take a bath was already the bottom line she could accept. If she wasn't blindfolded, she really would have caught fire.

"Sigh... Never mind, consider it something I owe you."

Xia Che sighed and obediently stuck his head over.

Jiang Yu wrapped him up completely, so he couldn't see a single ray of light; it was pitch black.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Jiang Yu blushed and moved to the bathtub. First, there was a soft rustling sound of clothes being taken off, and then she jumped in with a splash.

Xia Che nervously pursed his lips, feeling as if something in the air was making a thumping sound.

Damn, it was just my own heartbeat...

He always felt that if he continued to maintain this heart rate, he might die here today!

"Come here."

Jiang Yu submerged herself in the water, leaving only her head above water, and mumbled the instructions.

Following her instructions, Xia Che carefully wiped Jiang Yu's cleaned areas with a towel. However, because her eyes were covered, Xia Che would inevitably touch Jiang Yu's delicate skin.

"Although I know you didn't mean it, but..."

"If you touch me even once more, I'm going to bite you. If you touch me even once, I'll bite you to death."

Jiang Yu gritted her teeth, leaving Xia Che with no doubt about the truth of her words. He immediately gasped and apologized repeatedly.

When Xia Che wiped Jiang Yu's thigh with a towel, he felt some uneven spots under the towel, which looked like scars. This discovery surprised him.

Xia Che had already seen the scar on Jiang Yu's wrist, but he didn't expect her to have one on her leg as well.

"this……"

Xia Che wasn't sure if he could ask, but he already had a guess in his mind.

"Ask away, what do you want to know?"

Perhaps because of their open and honest interaction, Jiang Yu was no longer shy and her attitude became more candid.

"Everything about you."

Xia Che carefully wiped Jiang Yu's back and said softly.

Jiang Yu fell silent, then a faint voice, mingled with the rising mist, drifted and hollow.

"My life... was just beginning when I was thirteen, and then it was over."

“I suddenly became disabled. No matter how much I pinched or cut my legs, I could not feel them at all. These scars on my legs were all left by myself.”

Xia Che opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Jiang Yu pressed her finger down on it and continued, "Do you know... why I was bullied in the beginning?"

"It's not because I became disabled, but because I don't have a mother."
