"I...I..."
Jiang Yu felt dizzy.
yes.
What exactly do you want from Xia Che?
Jiang Yu felt incredibly shy just thinking about having Xia Che help her take a bath again. Last time was a special case, after all, Jiang Yu had the will to die in her heart at that time. She came into this world clean, and she should leave clean too, right?
So, if you don't even care about life and death, how could you possibly care about someone of the opposite sex helping you take a bath?
But things are different now.
With the will to live, Jiang Yu no longer wanted to die, but conversely, she could no longer maintain the indifferent attitude she had before.
But……
Jiang Yu bit her cherry lips tightly, her expression conflicted.
One more wash will speed up the recovery. Having experienced the wonderful feeling of being able to stand on both feet after just waking up, the temptation for someone who has been able to move around in a wheelchair for many years is just too great.
"you?"
Xia Che tilted his head slightly, waiting for Jiang Yu's answer.
"I'll wash it."
Jiang Yu took a deep breath and made a decision in an instant.
It's just washing it again, right?
Let's do it!
Since once is enough, there will be a second. Xia Che has helped her so much, and to be fair, Jiang Yu doesn't think Xia Che is the kind of person who would take advantage of her.
Moreover, in this world, apart from blood relatives, anyone who is not related by blood but is wholeheartedly good to you is a treasure that you will hardly encounter again in this lifetime.
"Then... then shall we do it the same as last time?"
Jiang Yu's face was flushed. Although she had already made up her mind, having Xia Che blindfolded her and then wash her again, just like last time, was the limit of what Jiang Yu could accept.
"Sure, no problem."
Xia Che readily agreed.
Let me play the role of caregiver one more time.
He knows it well.
"Hmm... let's do it then."
Jiang Yu was so nervous that she closed her eyes, clasped her hands tightly on her knees, and spoke in a voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz.
"Then I'll go run the water first. The water temperature will remain the same as before, is that okay?"
"Um……"
"Luckily, we didn't use up all the herbs from last time, and there's a little left, which is just enough."
"fine."
"Wait here for a moment, I'll be right away."
"good……"
To avoid letting Xia Che see her shyness, Jiang Yu kept her face tense. She wanted to appear natural, after all, it was just taking a shower, and such a thing was nothing in the context of their current relationship.
But for no apparent reason, I suddenly felt a sense of tension.
Jiang Yu tried hard to ignore her nervousness and act naturally, but the more she tried, the more nervous she became.
The tense expression and aloof, sparing manner of speaking that Jiang Yu displays now is not her true intention.
Jiang Yu felt that if she spoke even a slightly longer sentence, her teeth would chatter from nervousness.
So embarrassing...
"Hold on."
Although Xia Che felt that Jiang Yu's behavior was a bit strange, he didn't forget to think about other things. He just assumed that Jiang Yu was too shy. He turned around and walked to the bathroom, took out the bath tub with ease, and began to put in the medicinal herbs.
As Xia Che busied himself in the bathroom, Jiang Yu's face turned so red it was almost bleeding, and her mind was in turmoil.
Suddenly, a ding-dong sound.
It's a text message notification sound.
Jiang Yu was taken aback. It was so late, who would be texting her?
She only has Xia Che as a friend. Although Chu Yuying has helped her a lot, their relationship is currently at the point where they chat occasionally on messaging apps and haven't exchanged phone numbers yet.
Is it some kind of spam text message...?
While pondering, Jiang Yu picked up her phone and glanced at it, her eyebrows immediately furrowing.
It was sent from an unknown number, but the content annoyed Jiang Yu.
"Hello, good evening, little beauty. This is Li Junyang, who greeted you before. It's so late... You should be resting by now, right? Haha, sorry, sorry. I had a very good impression of you, so I mustered up the courage to send you this text message. Don't mind how I got your phone number. I just want to tell you... You must come to the neighborhood committee tomorrow. I'll be there too."
Why is this person so annoying...?
Looking at the slightly intimate address in the text message, Jiang Yu felt somewhat physically uncomfortable.
She's a complete stranger, yet she texts me late at night. Does she really think that getting her phone number will change her opinion of him and make her think he's very capable?
Stop joking...
Jiang Yu rolled her eyes. Just as she had said above, she hated this kind of overly familiar behavior.
I feel very disrespected.
Jiang Yu really wanted to reply to this rude guy with a text message saying that she hadn't rested yet and that a boy who was infinitely better than him was going to help her take a bath later, so she didn't have time to deal with him. But she could only think about it in her mind to vent her anger. In reality, Jiang Yu couldn't do it.
Just thinking about it was enough to vent her anger, and Jiang Yu put her phone away with satisfaction.
As for a reply?
It's impossible in this lifetime.
People who are insignificant like this can be ignored; they will never have the chance to enter your world.
...
The Xing family's base in Jiang City is ready. Although it is not as luxurious as their headquarters, it is still quite luxurious for a branch.
After all, its foundation is there.
In the spacious, bright, and luxurious council hall, Xing Zhicheng looked at the R team leader kneeling on one knee in front of him, his face full of apology and guilt so deep that he couldn't even speak. He sighed softly and put down the newspaper in his hand.
"Third Master, this time it was indeed my fault. I was greedy for credit and acted rashly. I reported to you without doing proper investigation beforehand, causing you to stay up so late waiting for someone who failed in their mission... I'm sorry!"
The leader of Group R took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
The entire R team mobilized, but ended up making a fool of themselves, leaving Xing Zhicheng disappointed. The mistake was so big that even the R team leader felt ashamed.
How shameful! So shameful!
Fortunately, after learning what had happened, Xing Zhicheng promptly blocked the news, and the other action groups were unaware of the shameful things R Group had done, thus preserving some face for R Group.
But this move undoubtedly made the R team leader feel even more guilty.
"You... are indeed a very capable person, but there's one thing I'm not satisfied with: you take relationships too seriously, you can't let go of things once you've taken them, and you're too fixated on being the 'parent' of the entire R group. This is good, but it's also not good."
Xing Zhicheng shook his head. "How could such a blunder be solely your fault? Do you think that by taking all the blame, you can make the rest of Group R grateful to you? Don't be ridiculous. They will only feel more guilty than you because it is their incompetence that has caused their captain to take the blame."
"Too much of a good thing is bad. What you're doing... will only cause a rift in your relationship."
