"You're welcome. I'm relieved that you're comfortable wearing it," Wen Mo said with a smile, scratching his head.
Xia Lian nodded gently, but just sat on the sofa, occasionally lifting her little feet to examine her new slippers. Her gaze was calm and indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Wen Mo followed her to the sofa and sat down a little distance away from Xia Lian, carefully observing her expression.
Hmm... Although she doesn't seem to have changed much, she's definitely improving her favorability.
The two of them will be living together from now on, so they need to get closer. He doesn't want to live with a stranger, so it would be good if they became more familiar with each other.
Of course, Wen Mo's act of buying her a pair of slippers was genuine and not just a simple attempt to get closer to her.
Seemingly noticing Wen Mo's gaze, Xia Lian blinked, tilted her head, and softly asked, "Wen Mo, are you looking at me?"
"Huh? What's wrong?" Wen Mo, who was deep in thought, suddenly woke up and sat up straight with his hands flat on the ground.
"You've been staring at me for so long..."
Upon hearing this, Wen Mo awkwardly turned his face away and quickly looked away, "I'm sorry, I just now..."
"Wenmo, don't apologize."
Xia Lian simply shook her head slightly, then tilted her head and poked her cheek with her finger with a blank expression. "Wen Mo wants to see... he can see."
Pfft...
Wen Mo jumped up and quickly moved away, no longer daring to look at her.
"Wenmo, aren't you going to watch anymore...?"
"No need, no need... Oh right! You haven't showered today, have you? I'll take you to the bathroom." He abruptly changed the subject, forcing a smile.
Xia Lian looked at him with some confusion, not quite understanding how the topic had shifted to something else.
However, remembering that she already smelled of sweat, she obediently nodded her head slightly, "Take a bath..."
"Actually, you should have seen the bathroom this afternoon. It's right next to my room."
Wen Mo said, then walked straight to the bathroom door and waved gently to Xia Lian behind him, "Come here, go in and familiarize yourself with the place."
Xia Lian ran over, carrying a change of clothes in her arms.
The bathroom is not large, but it does have a wet and dry separation design. The shower area is separated by a large transparent glass door, which can effectively prevent water from flowing to other places.
The toilet is cleaned regularly, and deodorizing and air-purifying agents are placed inside. With the addition of an exhaust fan, there is basically no odor coming out.
"Towels, toothbrushes, tooth cups, and other things... I just bought you a new set of all the small things you usually use, so you can use them directly."
Turning on the bathroom light immediately revealed the clean and bright environment.
"So clean..."
"Hehe, it's nothing." Wen Mo wiped his nose with a bit of pride. He was a bit of a clean freak and couldn't stand any yellowing in the bathroom. He basically cleaned the toilet every week.
Xia Lian didn't speak again, and then stared at the temperature switch of the shower head in silence for a long time.
Upon seeing this, Wen Mo's heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, does he not know how to use a showerhead?
Xia Lian came from the countryside, but Wen Mo had never heard of any rural area near the city being so backward. In fact, many rural homes were quite advanced, with LCD TVs and wireless networks installed in many homes.
However, Wenmer kept his questions to himself.
Everyone has a first time, just like not knowing how to ride the subway or the bus. No one is born knowing how; just take it slow.
Xia Lian is quiet and introverted, so we must not hurt her young heart; we must ask and teach her indirectly.
Thinking of this, Wen Mo became a little nervous, and finally asked cautiously in a low voice, "Um, aren't you going to start washing?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Lian looked puzzled, blinked, and then suddenly opened her eyes wide, a hint of shyness in them.
Her head slowly lowered again, revealing only her small, blushing ears.
"Wenmo is here... Sorry to wash..."
She was shy.
Wen Mo was stunned for a second or two before realizing what his cousin was saying. He quickly apologized, looking embarrassed, "I'll go out right away, I'll go out right away..."
Finally, she gently closed the bathroom door and slid down the wall to sit on the floor.
"I want to die..."
They weren't actually wondering how to use the showerhead; they were just waiting for me to come out... How presumptuous of them...
If Xia Lian weren't taking a bath inside, Wen Mo would really want to bang his head against the wall. This was the episode he most wanted to die on the spot during the entire summer vacation.
"I'm an idiot, I really am an idiot..."
He covered his burning face with both hands, constantly criticizing himself, and sat on the floor for a while in a frenzy, listening to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
...
In the bathroom.
Xia Lian's condition wasn't much better; even though she had started taking a shower, the blush on her face hadn't faded.
The warm water flowed around my body, as if I were surrounded by clouds. My fatigue vanished instantly, leaving only peace and comfort for my mind and body, as if the whole world was slowly melting away.
Gradually, feeling the warm atmosphere flow over my body, I felt a sense of comfort.
An inexplicable weariness slowly relaxed my mind, which was enveloped by another kind of thought, and a scene that was both strange and familiar emerged.
Close your eyes, and the world around you becomes light and airy.
For some reason, I started thinking about things from the past.
The white walls and the corridor smelling of disinfectant, the noisy crowd and the never-ending call machine at the medicine dispensing area.
