Although I think my magnanimity is already quite impressive compared to my peers, if I were to compare myself to those female celebrities on TV...
It seems like it's not quite enough?
Could it be that Xia Che was right, and that my poor development was due to eating too much instant noodles?
"What are you thinking about? Come on, let's dye your hair."
Xia Che finished preparing the hot water, walked out of the bathroom, and stretched out his hands towards Jiang Yu.
"what?"
Jiang Yu, who was feeling anxious and uncertain, was startled and looked up, saying fiercely.
Should I hug myself?
Jiang Yu looked flustered. This was something she had always dreamed of, but... it was happening a little too fast, wasn't it?
"Wash your hair first, otherwise how can you dye it?"
Xia Che hesitated for a moment, then pointed to Jiang Yu's wheelchair: "Or... do you insist on sitting in that chair to wash your hair?"
"oh."
Jiang Yu then understood Xia Che's meaning. It was indeed inconvenient to wash her hair while sitting in a wheelchair. If it got wet, it would take a long time to dry. Her pretty face unconsciously blushed slightly, and she obediently leaned forward. Xia Che also looked used to it and put his arm around Jiang Yu's shoulder, giving her a princess carry.
Feeling the warmth in Xia Che's arms, Jiang Yu curled up, pressing her cheek against Xia Che's chest, eavesdropping on the strong beating of Xia Che's heart, a slight smile quietly appearing on the corner of her mouth.
This was a little quirk she had recently developed. Jiang Yu loved to eavesdrop on Xia Che's heartbeat; the deep, powerful beat fascinated her both physically and mentally.
As for physical contact like a princess carry, the two of them have long been used to it after experiencing so much, and neither of them feels there is anything wrong with it.
"Come."
Xia Che carefully placed Jiang Yu on a plastic stool, then picked up the shower head. Jiang Yu obediently lowered her head, enjoying Xia Che's gentle service.
Xia Che's technique was very gentle. When Jiang Yu usually washed her hair, she would occasionally pull out a few strands, but Xia Che did not. His technique was so gentle that even after the wash was finished, Jiang Yu did not feel any pain.
"Are you satisfied with my technique, miss?"
Xia Che took out a towel to dry his hair, and while brushing on the hair dye, he said with a smile.
"Hmm, I'm quite satisfied."
Jiang Yu blinked, looking playful and cute: "I'll give you a tip later."
"Wow, thank you so much for your generosity, boss."
Xia Che spoke exaggeratedly, but his hand, which was applying hair dye, suddenly stiffened slightly.
The dry, yellowing ends of Jiang Yu's hair were not very noticeable from a distance before, but now that they were closer, Xia Che noticed that there were dry, yellowing ends on Jiang Yu's scalp at regular intervals.
This girl... she must have suffered a lot before.
Xia Che's heart sank slightly.
For no apparent reason, he suddenly remembered what Ning Zheyuan had told him.
You will leave Weiyang sooner or later, young master. Whether you can accept it or not, it's inevitable.
Ning Zheyuan had told himself not to be too good to Jiang Yu anymore, because if he really left one day, she wouldn't be able to bear it.
Xia Che's eyes darkened slightly.
or……
Should we invite Jiang Yu to stay at our house as well?
Suddenly, Xia Che thought of a solution.
My own place is already full, but the apartment next door seems to have been vacant ever since I moved in. They're even asking the security guard at the gate to help advertise it out, it seems like they need to move out urgently...
"How about... we buy another one?"
Xia Che was startled by his sudden thought, then chuckled self-deprecatingly and shook his head.
I'm not some young master anymore, so where would I get the money?
With all the money he has, let alone a down payment on a luxury apartment in a large residential complex, he probably wouldn't even have enough to pay a month's rent.
We need to think of a solution...
Xia Che kept the matter to himself. If the money problem could be solved, having Jiang Yu move in next door seemed like a good option.
At this moment, Jiang Yu sat obediently on the stool, looking down at her fingertips, enjoying Xia Che's gentleness. It was precisely this tranquil beauty that stirred up memories hidden deep within her heart that had almost faded away.
As he was about to drown in the sea, scenes he had never experienced before appeared before him.
In her imagination, her legs have recovered, and many scenes unfold, one of which is her holding hands with Xia Che, running in the park...
Jiang Yu's heart began to race.
As his gaze fell on his legs, Xia Che's promise to himself that he would soon become a normal person still seemed to echo in his ears.
If I could really become a normal person...
She should be good enough for Xia Che, right?
A ripple appeared in her eyes, and Jiang Yu's toes, which were hanging down naturally, suddenly trembled slightly, so slightly that she didn't even notice it herself.
Suddenly, perhaps because Jiang Yu's obsession was too intense, an unbearable pain surged from the depths of her mind.
Jiang Yu frowned in pain and couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
Xia Che stopped what he was doing and quickly asked.
"...It's alright, you can continue."
Despite the excruciating pain, Jiang Yu forced a smile, looking like a frightened little rabbit.
I absolutely must not let Xia Che know what I'm thinking.
She's easily embarrassed.
"That's fine."
Xia Che finally finished his task, clapped his hands, and laughed, "It will be washed off in a little while. You sit down first, I'll go cook."
"Um."
Xia Che, who was rushing to prepare dinner, did not notice Jiang Yu's unusual behavior. She quietly watched the busy figure going in and out of the kitchen, and ripples gradually spread across her mind.
"She's really good at taking care of people..."
Suddenly, Jiang Yu uttered a soft sentence, and in her beautiful eyes, which even the gods would admire, tenderness almost solidified into threads.
Just as the stinging pain gradually subsided, a thought suddenly popped into Jiang Yu's mind.
She wants to be a normal person.
She wants to become a normal person.
My legs...can recover!
Jiang Yu lowered her head, silently repeating the same words to herself.
"Wait a little longer... just a little longer..."
"It'll be over soon..."
Jiang Yu let out a long breath, slowly closed her eyes, and concealed that resolute look.
When she opened her eyes again, Jiang Yu had returned to her original innocent and adorable self, but there was a hint of determination hidden in her eyes that was hard for ordinary people to detect.
Just as Xia Che fulfilled all of Jiang Yu's wishes, Jiang Yu thought she would have no goals left from now on.
But now, her thoughts have quietly changed.
A new goal emerged, which Jiang Yu buried deep in her heart.
This goal sounds absurd, even more absurd than my two previous wishes, and it's also much more difficult.
But for Xia Che, she was willing to accept it.
"I must... become a normal person."
Jiang Yu spoke slowly and deliberately, murmuring softly.
...
"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?"
Xia Che clapped his hands, pushed Jiang Yu to the mirror, and admired his masterpiece.
