(Huo Jiangliu's Awkward Little Theater, also known as Young Master and Nanny)
Regarding bathing after becoming disabled.
Mu Wenxi felt that since she had come to the Huo family to take care of Huo Jiangliu, she had to do what she was supposed to do. She was eager to do her job as a nanny well.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Mu Wenxi's cell phone rang. Oh, it was the alarm she had specially set. She put down what she was doing and ran to Huo Jiangliu's room to knock on the door.
"Young Master, it's time to take a bath."
The soundproofing in the Huo residence was good, so Huo Jiangliu couldn't hear clearly what Mu Wenxi was saying, but he did hear that it was the new "nanny," Mu Wenxi, knocking on the door.
He maneuvered his wheelchair to the door, and the moment he stopped, a voice echoed in his mind: "Begin cleaning up bad luck, progress one percent."
His heart sank. After all these days, it was still only one percent. He asked through the door, "What is it?"
Mu Wenxi replied, "Young Master, I'll give you a bath."
Huo Jiangliu was incredulous, thinking he had misheard: "What did you say?"
Mu Wenxi: "Young Master, I said I want to give you a bath."
Huo Jiangliu opened the door: "A shower? You're giving it to me?"
He was shocked to see the nanny's stunned expression, wondering what could have made a nanny say such a thing, especially since she was a girl.
He politely declined, saying, "There's a difference between men and women, so it's not necessary."
Mu Wenxi looked at her fingers with some difficulty: "But how can I wash your legs like this?"
Huo Jiangliu: "I have my own methods."
Mu Wenxi walked back to his room with great regret: "Alright, young master, I'll be going now."
Huo Jiangliu thought the matter was over and the nanny wouldn't say anything so frightening again, but to his surprise, Mu Wenxi came again the next day.
Mu Wenxi: "Young Master, would you like me to wash your hair?"
Huo Jiangliu said quietly, "I am disabled in both legs, not in my whole body."
The nanny had no hope of giving him a bath, so now she wanted to wash his hair instead.
Mu Wenxi coldly replied and left: "Oh."
On the third day, Mu Wenxi did not come. Huo Jiangliu was in the room looking at the time. It was already 9:30, but Mu Wenxi still hadn't come.
He waited until 11 o'clock, but Mu Wenxi still hadn't come. Why wasn't Mu Wenxi coming? He felt a little disappointed; it seemed he wouldn't be able to shake off his bad luck tonight.
During the day, Mu Wenxi saw that it was almost time and brought breakfast to Huo Jiangliu's room. This was Madam's instruction, as the young master did not like to go downstairs, and all three meals had to be brought to his room: "Young master, please have breakfast."
Huo Jiangliu was sitting by the window reading a book when Mu Wenxi put down a plate next to him and turned to leave. At noon, she brought him lunch again. Mu Wenxi said, "Young Master, please have lunch," and then began to recite the names of the dishes.
Huo Jiangliu was waiting for Mu Wenxi to finish reciting the menu when he was about to say something to her, but Mu Wenxi left in a hurry.
Huo Jiangliu was both anxious and helpless. These phrases kept echoing in his mind: "Approach the lucky koi, now begin sweeping away bad luck," "Too far from the lucky koi, sweeping failed," "Sweeping progress two percent"...
This can't go on. It'll take forever to get 100% done. Right now, even though Mu Wenxi is his nanny, she's always too far away from him. He has to find a way, he has to take the initiative.
That evening, Mu Wenxi still came to Huo Jiangliu's room. After putting down the plate, announcing the dishes, and saying "Young Master, please have dinner," he was about to leave when he was stopped.
Huo Jiangliu: "Wait a minute, just stand there. I'll finish eating right away, then you can take the tray away."
Mu Wenxi could only agree: "Okay."
She stood by and watched for a while. Seeing that Huo Jiangliu was eating very quickly, she couldn't help but remind him, "Young Master, you shouldn't eat too fast. It's not good for your stomach."
Huo Jiangliu slowly stopped eating and began to eat slowly.
But Mu Wenxi felt that she still had a lot of work to do and couldn't wait for Huo Jiangliu to finish eating, which would be a waste of time. She decisively said, "Young Master, please enjoy your meal. I still have work to do. You don't need to clean up after you finish eating. I'll come up and clean up later."
The voice in Huo Jiangliu's mind immediately appeared: "Too far from the lucky koi, cleaning failed."
Huo Jiangliu scratched his head, realizing that things couldn't continue like this.
The next day, when Mu Wenxi brought the meal again, Huo Jiangliu, sitting in his wheelchair, said aloofly, "You feed me."
Mu Wenxi rubbed her ears, thinking she had misheard, until Huo Jiangliu repeated it again, and she realized she hadn't misheard: "Young Master, you are disabled in both legs, not in your whole body."
Huo Jiangliu choked. This little nanny, humph, has no sense of propriety at all. He started eating by himself, and Mu Wenxi went out again. The plan failed.
When Mu Wenxi came to clear the dishes at dinner, Huo Jiangliu hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Help me take a bath tonight."
Mu Wenxi glanced at him and said, "Yes, young master."
Her tone was tinged with helplessness, which annoyed Huo Jiangliu. Wasn't it Mu Wenxi who had asked her to help him bathe? Why was she unhappy now that he was asking her to? Women are so hard to understand.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Mu Wenxi arrived at the room on time, carrying a lot of things. Huo Jiangliu clicked his tongue in surprise: "What are all these?"
Seeing his confusion, Mu Wenxi explained to him one by one: "This is for scrubbing your back, this is for massaging your hair, this is..."
Seeing that she was getting into it, Huo Jiangliu quickly stopped her: "I have everything here, you don't need to bring it."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay."
Before Huo Jiangliu went into the restroom, he said to her, "You can stand outside. I'll call you if I need anything."
Mu Wenxi felt that she might have been happy for nothing, because she might not be able to collect any more bad luck. That's right, not long ago, something suddenly appeared in Mu Wenxi's mind, telling her that collecting bad luck could help others, and Huo Jiangliu was the most unlucky person she found around her.
So she immediately applied for a job as a nanny for the Huo family, and to her surprise, she got the job right away. She was very excited, but unfortunately, she hasn't had the chance to get close to Huo Jiangliu recently, and she hasn't refused him several times.
Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn when the young master asked her to help him take a bath. Unfortunately, she was overthinking it; it turned out she was just helping him guard the door, not actually taking a bath.
So Huo Jiangliu took a shower in the bathroom, while Mu Wenxi listened to the rushing water outside, but couldn't see anything.
As Huo Jiangliu washed, he tried to clear away the bad luck from his mind. Unfortunately, although he found an opportunity to get closer, the clearing process seemed to be too slow.
Huo Jiangliu had no choice but to start thinking of another way. He called out to Mu Wenxi outside, "Come closer."
Mu Wenxi: "Yes, young master."
She was practically pressed against the door.
Huo Jiangliu: "How about this, you come in, and you stand outside my cloth."
Mu Wenxi: "Huh?"
What a wonderful thing!
