They got home much later than usual, and the two of them wandered aimlessly along the road, just to walk around like two idiots with their umbrellas.
Perhaps because of the rain, the stairwell was more damp than before, and it was easy to slip on the ground.
Xia Lian clutched Wen Mo's clothes, her school uniform swaying back and forth as she moved, sliding on the ground like a child.
"Is it fun?"
Xia Lian gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, sliding around him.
"Yeah, this is fun."
Wen Mo also wanted to play, but he was held by the hem of his clothes and had to act as her support, so he could only watch from the side of Xia Lian.
"Alright, stop playing around, let's go home." Wen Mo couldn't help but laugh, pulling the little girl who was letting loose back to his side, and carrying her to open the door and go home.
No one was home all day, and the atmosphere after the rain made the whole house feel particularly deserted.
I changed into slippers in the entryway and then turned on the lights. The warm-toned ceiling light immediately dispelled the coldness and made the whole house feel warmer.
“It’s different at home. At least it looks much warmer.” Wen Mo rubbed his arms and put the umbrella aside.
Although I was still just as cold, I definitely felt safer at home than outside... or rather, it felt more like home.
"Go take a shower first, you're freezing."
Wen Mo pushed Xia Lian into the house to get her clothes, wanting her to hurry to the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, Xia Lian did not obey as before this time, but stubbornly shook her head.
"Wenmo, go wash first." Her tone was very serious. Looking at her cousin's almost completely soaked body, she was extremely worried.
She was wearing a coat, so she wasn't too cold.
"but……"
"Wenmo, go wash first."
Before Wen Mo could finish speaking, Xia Lian walked behind him and pushed him back to the next room with all her might, her little head pressed against his side, glancing up every now and then.
Seeing that Wen Mo didn't move, Xia Lian took it upon herself to help pick up the clothes.
Hoodies, pants, and...
"Okay, okay, I'll wash first! I'll get my own underwear!" Wen Mo quickly stopped him, taking two quick steps forward to snatch his underwear.
Having slept in the same room for almost several dozen days, Xia Lian had thoroughly figured out the layout of Wen Mo's room, to the point that she could find the clothes she wanted in the closet with her eyes closed.
"Sigh, really." Wen Mo scratched his head. He knew what the girl was thinking; she was just concerned about his health.
Xia Lian also got quite wet in the rain, and I was originally going to let her wash first.
Seeing the girl's insistence, Wen Mo had no choice but to wash himself quickly so that she could wash sooner.
Soon, the sound of a shower came from the bathroom. The warm water poured over Wen Mo's body, making him so comfortable that he couldn't speak.
The feeling of his wet clothes clinging to his body was unpleasant, but a shower made him feel instantly refreshed. He dried his hair, and amidst a puff of steam, the bathroom door was gently pushed open.
"Okay, I'm done washing up. You should go wash up too."
Wen Mo put down the bath towel, still surrounded by a lot of heat, making his whole body feel warm.
Seeing this, Xia Lian obediently nodded her head; she had already prepared her clothes in advance.
"It's okay to shower a little longer, make yourself feel comfortable," Wen Mo said with a smile, turning around and reaching out to close the bathroom door so that the heat inside wouldn't dissipate.
Just as he turned around to speak, he found that the girl had already taken off her coat, revealing her wet, semi-transparent T-shirt.
"Take off your coat after you go into the bathroom!"
Wen Mo quickly draped his coat over her again, then covered his forehead, speechless. "Go take a shower, it's still warm inside."
Xia Lian tilted her head, but did not take off her coat. She responded and walked into the bathroom with small steps, slowly closing the door.
"Click..."
The sound of the door locking came, and Wenmo finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was really not easy to get out of school, with both wind and rain.
However... it was quite enjoyable to share an umbrella with her...
"No, no, no, don't think nonsense." Wen Mo shook his head, rubbing his cheek as he came back to his senses.
He felt a sense of relief as he listened to the sound of the shower in the bathroom.
This girl is quite considerate; she even lets me wash first.
Stretching, Wen Mo rubbed his stomach, feeling incredibly hungry as soon as he relaxed.
"I'm so hungry."
More than whether he would catch a cold, he was more concerned about what to eat for dinner. After all this commotion, it was almost seven o'clock, and he still didn't know what to make for dinner.
Fortunately, there was still some food left in the refrigerator. Before Xia Lian finished showering, Wen Mo decided to cook dinner first and wait for her to come out so they could eat together.
"I can ask her what she likes when we eat later, so I'll have some ideas for what to give her for her birthday," he muttered to himself as he began preparing dinner.
Perfect.
...
About 30 minutes later, a pair of delicate, fair-skinned feet stepped out of the bathroom in slippers. Xia Lian dried her hair with a towel and had already changed into her pajamas.
"Finished showering? Dinner will be ready soon. Just sit at the table and wait a bit." Wen Mo turned around and said this as he heard the bathroom door open.
However, Xia Lian did not sit obediently. Instead, she immediately put down the towel in her hand, took small steps to his side, and began to help cook.
"You just finished showering, don't get it dirty again," Wen Mo said helplessly.
