Yan Motou likes cleanliness and face. Don't be fooled by his aloof appearance in front of others. In fact... he also has to save face in front of Wen Xin.

He just couldn't bear it anymore. Lying in bed every day, the sweat on his body kept drying and getting wet, wet and dry. How could he be comfortable?

Wen Xin wiped all other places, but left the key place behind. Yan Mo was silent for a long time, staring at her. When he saw that she hung the towels on the windowsill and picked up her pants to put on him, he realized that she really didn't plan to wipe him.

He had to speak with difficulty, "Wipe there too."

Wen Xin: “…” She had indeed forgotten this.

"Yes, yes, I forgot. Let me wipe it for you." Wen Xin turned around and got a towel, then went to the cabinet beside the bed and bent down to look for it. "Do you have any clean underwear? Change it and I'll wash it for you..."

Yan Mo's face darkened, "No." The hospital here didn't prepare anything. Comrade Xiao Wang was nominally called to take care of him, but in fact, when he saw the nurse in the room, he disappeared and only came over occasionally to ask if he needed to go to the bathroom.

Why does a female nurse stay in his ward all day? I almost had to catch his pee.

There were several times when Yama had to hold it in. Fortunately, his kidney function was good, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.

This time he deeply realized that patients have no self-esteem at all.

You were yelling at Wen Xin before, why did you come here? What if you encounter danger? But now, he feels that it is better for him to be close to his partner. He can only tell his partner about some of his requests, because only his partner can truly care about him.

Wen Xin was also a little worried. How come she didn't even have underwear prepared? There was no choice but to take it off first. She had been wearing it for so long. How could she put it on again after wiping it?

If it really doesn't work, I'll have to risk my dignity and buy him two pairs tomorrow.

Wen Xin was very natural and not shy at all. She reached her hands in and groped in the darkness. Her little hands were soft, tender, and slightly cool.

The towels were warm.

She couldn't see in the dark, and her nails, which were always beautifully trimmed, were accidentally scratched.

Yama's head immediately hissed, "Be gentle, don't hurt me where I'm not injured..."

"Okay, okay, be gentle, I'll wipe it for you gently." Wen Xin gritted her teeth and wiped it carefully with a towel, humph, for the sake of his injury.

In fact, Wen Xin still felt sorry for him. As long as it was not excessive, she would agree to his requests. Of course, he couldn't do anything excessive.

Wen Xin wiped it very carefully, cleaning every corner and crevices, to prevent him from complaining that it was not wiped clean enough.

There was a wound on the side of her thigh, and she didn't dare touch it, so her movements were very gentle.

Later, Yama's pale face became slightly smoother. He turned his face away and pretended nothing had happened.

Wen Xin pulled her hand out of the quilt, took the towel, looked at the person on the bed, and said earnestly: "Ze Yang..." She wiped it, why did he...

It becomes half-awake while wiping?

Yama glared at her before she could finish. His voice was not loud, but it sounded a little angry. "You blame me? It stood up when it saw you. What can I do?"

Wen Xin: “…”

The patient was the most important, so she quickly coaxed him, "Okay, okay, I got it, let's put on our pants and stop walking."

"What did you say? What's that about walking around with a bird?" Yama didn't quite understand what he said, but he knew it was definitely not a good thing.

She threw the towel into the basin, giggled, and came over to get the pants, coaxing him, "No, don't slip, don't slip, just put on your pants first, I'll wash the waistband for you, and I'll buy you two more pairs tomorrow."

"Don't wash here, don't let Xiao Wang see it." Yan Mo's head was hurt, but his mind was clear. After all, he was not married and it was not good to wash his partner's underwear and let people gossip about him.

"Okay, I'll wash it for you secretly, okay?" She took the pants and put them on him under the quilt. Don't look at Yan Motou lying on the bed, looking weak.

In fact, she couldn't even lift one of his thighs, and she had to ask him to cooperate in lifting it up. However, the injuries on his body would hurt if he even lifted his legs or buttocks or exerted the slightest force. But he still cooperated with Wen Xin silently.

It’s not that Wen Xin has no strength. Of course, she doesn’t have much strength either, but Yama’s head is really heavy. It may be because he has a lot of muscles. He can obviously feel heavier than the average person. If someone else puts an arm on his body, it would be as heavy as if it were filled with water, then Yama’s head would be like it was filled with cement.

When they did naughty things in the past, even if he was lying on Wen Xin, it was like he was doing a plank. He didn't dare to put all his strength on her, for fear that her delicate and fragile body would make her cry. If he didn't press her, she would cry and scream and make a fuss, and if he pressed her, she would probably faint from crying. So he was usually very careful and mostly held her, supported her, put her on his knees, and moved from bottom to top. He rarely pressed her.

Wen Xin finally put on her pants with all her might. Because she couldn't see, it was very difficult and she almost buried her head under the quilt while putting them on. She was busy inside the quilt.

The door was opened with a click.

Xiao Wang walked in, and then he saw the leader's girlfriend, who was wearing a beige sweater and tight blue trousers. She was sitting on the edge of the bed with her hand in the quilt, looking down into the quilt, and no one knew what she was doing.

Seeing someone coming in, Wen Xin subconsciously withdrew her hand, and then pressed the edge of the quilt to cover up.

"It's Xiao Wang." Wen Xin breathed a sigh of relief. "Captain Yan said his legs... were numb, so I gave them a couple of massages." Wen Xin laughed awkwardly and explained hurriedly.

Xiao Wang didn't think about anything else. Captain Yan was so injured that no one would think too much about it. It was just that his legs were numb and he had been lying in bed for a long time, so he felt uncomfortable all over his body.

He showed Wen Xin his big white teeth with a bright smile and said, "Thanks to my sister-in-law who came over and took better care of me than I did, I didn't notice it. Captain Yan didn't tell me that his legs were numb, otherwise I would massage him too."

Wen Xin: “…”

"Ahem..." Captain Yan on the bed coughed and asked him quickly, "Have you found a place to live?" Although he was sick, he was only pale and his voice was a little low. When he was stern, he was also very serious. Once he opened his mouth, he would not tolerate others to be frivolous. This meant that he was not a member of his regiment. The staff was too short and he didn't know where to transfer them to take care of him. Otherwise, he would have been scolded by Captain Yan long ago. He was nowhere to be seen for most of the day and no one knew where he went.

"I've found it, Captain Yan. There's a guesthouse not far from the hospital with a good environment. I'll take her there now. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your sister-in-law." Xiao Wang is not good at taking care of people, but he is very efficient at running errands and getting information.

Yan Zeyang nodded. There was no extra room in the hospital, but his ward was available. There was a simple folding bed, but it was Xiao Wang who slept on it. If he got up at night, Xiao Wang would take care of him nearby.

If Xiao Wang sleeps here, Wen Xin will have nowhere to live. We can't drive Xiao Wang to the guesthouse and let Wen Xin stay here. First, they are not married yet. It's okay to take care of Xiao Wang during the day, but she will also stay here at night. I'm afraid people will say something behind my back. Secondly, the small bed was not comfortable to sleep on, and it creaked every time she turned over. Yan Zeyang couldn't bear to let her suffer this, so he asked Xiao Wang to find a guesthouse that was nearby and had a good environment, and let him bring Wen Xin there.

It was already past four in the afternoon. Yan Zeyang looked up at Wen Xin and said, "You and Xiao Wang should go to the guesthouse first and find a room to stay in. Put your things away and take important things with you. Don't come over after dark."

Wen Xin also knew that there was no place to sleep here. She had been on the train for a day and a night, and she didn't know what the smell was on her body. She was also in a hurry to take a shower and change clothes. After saying a few words to Yan Zeyang, she followed Xiao Wang. When she walked out of the room, she looked back and saw Yan Zeyang lying alone on the hospital bed, his eyes following her figure.

And the glance back when she left seemed to be filled with nostalgia and reluctance.

At that moment, there was a deep reluctance in each other's hearts and eyes.

…

All guest houses in the world are the same, with terrible hygiene and damp quilts.

It was a small room with an iron bed, an old wooden table, a washbasin rack and a kettle.

It was good enough to have a small window, at least the ventilation was good. There were old yellowed curtains next to the window.

Looking at the dirty reception room, I couldn't help but feel disgusted. The waiter would roll his eyes if I said a few words to him. With such conditions, I could stay there if I wanted, or leave if I didn't. Most people who come here to stay are not picky, as long as they have a place to sleep.

Fortunately, Wen Xin had experience and brought sheets and quilt covers in her suitcase. She spread them on the bed and put the covers on the quilt, and there was no problem getting by for a few days.

When Xiao Wang brought her here, he told her: "There is a bathhouse next to this guesthouse. It is very convenient to take a bath."

Wen Xin thought this was a good thing. After settling down and Xiao Wang left, she took her clothes and bath ticket and went downstairs to take a comfortable hot bath.

Five cents for a wash is really cheap.

Most of the people who come to take a bath are people living nearby. It is winter and the New Year is approaching, so there are many people coming to take a bath.

When she came out, it was just getting dark, and she heard the two women who came out in front of her say that they were going back to cook and buy some vegetables at the market.

Wen Xin's heart moved, and she immediately ran forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, where can I buy vegetables here?"

One of them had a thin face and was wearing a green scarf. She turned around and looked at Wen Xin and saw that it was a little girl. "Are you from outside?" Everyone in the local area knew where the vegetable market was.

"Yes, I'm from another city. My boyfriend is in the hospital here, so I rushed over to see him. I wanted to buy some vegetables and make him some nutritious soup to nourish his body.

"Where do you live?" another woman asked.

"I'm staying at the guest house."

"There's no place to cook in the guesthouse." The thin-faced woman glanced at Wen Xin and said.

"I'm just worrying about this. I want to rent someone's stove to cook something, but I'm unfamiliar with the place and I don't know whose stove to rent from." Wen Xin was frowning. Everything is difficult when you go out. It's even difficult to cook something. There's not even a basin.

The thin-faced woman looked her up and down. "How much do you want to pay for the rent?"

"I haven't rented it before, so I don't know the price."

"How long do you want to rent it?" asked the thin-faced woman. Wen Xin heard her ask and felt that it seemed like a possibility.

"Sister-in-law, I'll only rent it for half a month." With Yan Mo's injury, it would take at least ten days or half a month.

"My home is near the hospital, you can rent it, but only the fire and the stove are rented. You have to prepare the ingredients for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar yourself. It's ten yuan for half a month."

The woman next to her stared at the thin-faced woman with wide eyes. Ten dollars? Just the fire and the stove cost ten dollars? Isn’t this too harsh?

It’s so late, and the hospital doctor hasn’t eaten yet. He hasn’t eaten much all day, and his body won’t be able to take it if he continues like this.

Thinking about the look in his eyes when he was lying on the hospital bed when she left, she wanted to quickly find a place to make some food and send it over. She couldn't find a place before, and it was getting dark quickly. Now that she saw someone was willing to rent it, she agreed immediately.

Ten dollars is a bit expensive, but is it worth going from store to store to bargain for such a small amount of money?

Seeing Wen Xin agreed, the thin-faced woman showed a smile. The two women first took her to the vegetable market. Many people had closed their stalls at this time, but some people had not yet closed their stalls in order to make more money. At this time in the evening, there would still be some people coming to buy vegetables.

At this time, the vegetable stalls must be filled with what others have picked and left.

Wen Xin first looks for fish.

Fish soup, chicken soup, or even pigeon soup would be fine, as they are all good for the body. Unfortunately, after looking around, there was no pigeon or chicken, and the fish was not fresh either. In the end, she had no choice but to go to a meat stall, pick a pig's trotter that no one wanted, and after careful selection, she bought a few eggs, as well as some tofu and bean sprouts.

I pretended to buy some seasonings and stuff, but in fact the system had plenty of seasonings and there was no need to buy them. I just wanted to cover up my tracks.

Carrying the vegetables, I went to the home of the woman with the thin face. It was indeed near the hospital, just a few steps away. Wen Xin was very happy. It was so close that I could make the food and take it to the hospital. It was really convenient.

The thin-faced woman's home is a bungalow.

There were two stoves, and she lent one to Wen Xin. After lighting the stove, Wen Xin quickly cooked some soup, pig's trotter soup, and stewed some delicious tofu. She borrowed some rice from the thin-faced woman and agreed to return it tomorrow. She also gave her ten yuan.

The woman had two children. Her husband was a worker in a coal factory, earning less than 60 yuan a month. He had to support a family of six, including his parents, wife and children. 60 yuan was just enough to make ends meet. Money was very tight, so the woman had to find ways to make some money. When someone wanted to rent a stove, she asked for ten yuan.

The main reason was that the other party was from another place, and was a young girl. You could tell from the way she was dressed that she was a good person with money. So she just said something casually, but she didn't expect that the other party really agreed. Ten yuan, she didn't have to pay for anything, she could make money by just selling some coal. Her husband worked in the coal factory, and coal didn't cost any money at all.

The family's meals were very simple. They just cut some pickled vegetables into shreds and fried them in a pan, put a few coarse flour pancakes in it, and without even cleaning the pan, they just threw in some vegetable leaves and dried radishes and cooked a soup, and that was considered a meal.

They have prepared the meal, so the pot is no longer needed and Wen Xin can be used.

She washed her hands, cleaned the pot, then stewed some vegetables and tofu on the small stove, threw some bean sprouts into it, and the soup was milky white. Then she fried a few golden eggs, not a large amount, and put them into the lunch box one by one. She made the rice into a thicker porridge, with each grain of rice intact and with a light green color. It looked very appetizing and delicious.

After finishing all these, the pig's trotter soup was finally ready.

She poured the soup into a white porcelain jar, but some was left over and couldn't be put in anymore. Wen Xin thought about it and got a bowl to put the extra food into, which she placed in a conspicuous place on the stove. Then she quickly cleaned the pot and put the remaining ingredients, eggs and so on, on the stove. She said hello to the thin-faced woman who was eating in the house, saying that the kitchen had left some food for them, and then she hurried to the hospital with the still hot lunch box of soup.

The family was eating steamed buns with pickled vegetables and drinking vegetable soup in the house. When they smelled the aroma of meat from the kitchen, they found it impossible to swallow and everything in their mouths had no taste. The whole family was supported by one person, and with so many mouths to feed, they could not eat meat more than twice a month.

The woman who came to rent the stove looked rich. The wool coat she was wearing, which was made of high-end fabric and had exquisite workmanship, must have cost more than a hundred yuan, right? And the sound of the little leather shoes "clacking" on the stone road told you that they were high-end products bought in the big city. When the man went out, he stretched his neck to look outside, and all he saw was a slim figure with black hair draped over her shoulders.

While no one was paying attention, the little daughter slipped into the kitchen, and soon came back with a bowl of food, stuffing meat into her mouth.

The thin-faced woman stepped forward and snatched the bowl from her daughter's hand. There were several pieces of pig's trotters and scrambled eggs in it. She ran to the kitchen and saw a bowl of steaming pig's trotter soup.

…

When Wen Xin went to the hospital, it was around seven in the evening. The hospital closes at nine at the latest. At around seven, the first floor was crowded with people, and there were still many patients who were admitted to the hospital to get their medicines. Wen Xin went straight to the fourth floor with the things in her hands because she was close and the things were not cold yet.

When she went in with the lunch box, Xiao Wang was rarely in the room. The Yanmo head on the hospital bed saw her come in. His hair was not completely dry yet and was a little wet. He knew that she had taken a shower, and scolded her, "It's late. Why don't you stay in the guesthouse? Why are you running around?" But when he said this, his eyes were bright and warm.

"I made something for you, try it and see if it's delicious." Wen Xin put the lunch box on the table as she entered the house. Xiao Wang went over to get the pig's trotter soup for her and smelled it, "It smells so good." Looking at the milky white soup and the tender stewed pig's trotters, the aroma of the meat made him feel hungry.

"I'm not hungry. Did you cook this? Where can we cook in the guesthouse?" Since Wen Xin came, Yan Mo Tou was obviously in much better spirits. He looked at Wen Xin sharply, wanting to ask her if she had been running around again. She was not familiar with the place, so why couldn't she just stay still?

"There is a bungalow next to the hospital. The family there was willing to lend me their stove. I bought the ingredients and cooked at their house." She put the things down and turned around to see Xiao Wang staring at the pig's trotter soup in a daze.

She smiled and said, "He brought a lot of food, a full lunch box, he definitely can't finish it, if you don't mind you can share some."

Xiao Wang quickly said, "No, no, I'll go out for a while, you talk to the captain." He was very tactful. Besides, how could he dare to eat Captain Yan's hospital meal? It was mainly prepared by his girlfriend, and he felt embarrassed.

As soon as the door was closed, Wen Xin quickly got up from the stool and enthusiastically put the food on the small table next to them.

Then he took off his coat and put it at the end of the bed, and raised the pillow of the person on the bed a little higher. His injuries were all on his shoulders and back, and he had no idea how painful it was. Wen Xin had only wiped him clean in the afternoon, and when he was fixing the pillow just now, the back of his neck was still wet.

Wen Xin touched his forehead with a bit of heartache. The first three days must have been the most painful.

Yama looked at the woman in front of him with worry in his eyes. Seeing the distress in his eyes, she felt sorry for him, and his heart seemed to be filled with warmth. He asked her in a low voice, "Come here, let me hug you." Maybe it was night, maybe it was late at night, maybe he was injured, maybe there was no one else in the room, he also wanted to act coquettishly, wanted warm care, and wanted her warm embrace.

After all, the big devil also has his weak moments.

"Hold?" How to hug?

When Wen Xin held him, she did not dare to touch his wound and could only bend down. He buried his face in the warmth and softness. He felt that at that moment, that softness was like the harbor where his heart finally belonged.

Wen Xin was a little shy at this time. When they were together, she was not shy and often took the initiative to give it to him. But now, without any emotion or desire, she simply wanted to bury herself in it and absorb the energy and warmth from her body. This made her shy instead, and this posture was so tiring.

Won't he be bored?

After leaving him buried for a long time, Wen Xin whispered to him, "Okay, let's eat. The food is getting cold." Where is the stern and indifferent Captain Yan from before? After experiencing such a life-and-death test, I feel like a little child.

If his fingers hadn't been injured, he would have wanted to hold her and not let her leave. When he was vulnerable, he just wanted to bury himself in that softness, as if it could heal all the wounds in his heart.

Xiao Wang took a long walk outside, and when he came back, he saw Captain Yan's girlfriend feeding him. His girlfriend sat beside his bed affectionately, looking at him tenderly, and after feeding him a mouthful, she asked softly, "Is it delicious?"

Captain Yan looked at the object and said "hmm" softly.

Feed him another bite: "Is it salty?"

“Not salty.”

Although it was just a simple conversation, even the careless Xiao Wang could feel the sweet atmosphere.

And this sweetness finally reached a point where, seeing Wen Xin was about to leave after feeding her, Yan Motou was overbearing and didn't want her to leave. He directly said to Xiao Wang, "Just find a guesthouse and I'll reimburse you for the money."

At first he was worried about what others would say if Wen Xin stayed, but now he has his own partner and others can say whatever they want. Before she left, he felt empty in the ward alone and didn't want Wen Xin to leave him at all, not even for a minute.

Xiao Wang was good at reading people's expressions, and he had slept in that broken bed enough times. When he was paid for the accommodation, he ran away immediately and even closed the door considerately.

After Xiao Wang left, Yan Zeyang patted the bed beside him with his gauze-wrapped hands and said to Wen Xin in a hoarse voice, "Don't sleep in the small bed. It's not comfortable. Come here and sleep here."
