Zhou Quan sat in the bathtub. He didn't feel anything below his waist, but above his waist, he could feel the warmth of the water enveloping his skin.
The last time he took a bath was during the Chinese New Year, when his father and brothers helped him take one.
Now, more than half a year has passed, and he is taking a hot bath again.
Moreover, he felt more comfortable and had more energy this time while soaking in the water.
I suppose it's because I exerted so much force just now.
Looking down at his withered upper body, although it was very white, there was no flesh on his body, and you could even see the marks of bones in his ribs.
He subconsciously looked up and turned to look at Li Mai, only to find her lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) moving her arms and legs, wiggling her hands and feet back and forth like a monkey climbing a mountain.
He turned back, chuckled, and bent down to undo the belt of his underpants, taking them off and beginning to scrub and massage his legs and feet.
In order to give her a normal married life in the future, he decided to take good care of his health so that he could stand up, walk, and carry her as soon as possible.
As he supported her frail body as he walked towards the bathtub, though it was only a few steps, his mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts. What made his heart race the most was how wonderful it would be if one day he could carry her into the bathtub.
After moving around for a while, Li Mai felt much more energetic. She sat up, looked at Zhou Quan's shoulder sticking out of the bathtub, and suddenly said mischievously, "Husband, do you need me to scrub your back?"
She had once seen a movie where the wife said and did exactly that.
"No, no need!"
Zhou Quan was startled by her words and quickly looked down into the water. He couldn't let her come over; the water was so clear that he could see everything.
Li Mai chuckled to herself and stopped teasing him, knowing that men in ancient times were shy. So she said, "How about I wipe your back after you blow out the lamp? You haven't washed in a long time, have you?"
Zhou Quan wanted to refuse, but this time he couldn't bring himself to say it. He subconsciously felt that it was acceptable.
Li Mai didn't move, just waiting for his response.
After a long while, Zhou Quan seemed to have made up his mind to himself before giving a low "hmm".
Li Mai pursed her lips and chuckled to herself. This man was actually quite cute, but considering how generously he had lent her his undergarments, Li Mai decided to help him out.
She got out of bed, put on her shoes, noticed that her trousers were too long, bent down and rolled them up twice before going over to pick up a towel from the side of the bathtub, blowing out the lamp, pulling over a stool to sit down, and helping him wash his shoulders and back.
Sigh, what a weirdo. While other people's wedding night is a night of conjugal bliss, hers is a night of serving her husband a bath.
However, this guy is indeed too thin; you can't feel any flesh on his back.
Zhou Quan had no feeling below his waist, but his upper body was more sensitive. At this moment, all he could feel was the sensation of her hand pressing on his shoulder.
It's hot; it's like wherever she touches, it gets hot!
He felt numbness in both hands, for some reason.
Itching. Except for the area below the waist, I can't feel any itching. I feel itchy all over my body.
Li Mai didn't feel as strongly as he did, nor did she think as much as he did. She simply helped him wipe his back and wash his hair.
Zhou Quan originally wanted to say that he would wash his own hair, but Li Mai had already started washing his hair on her own initiative. His hand moved slightly, then subconsciously put it down and pressed it against his lower abdomen.
Although he knew it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything, his shame made him instinctively cover his abdomen with his hand.
“Your hair is quite nice,” Li Mai said as she helped him wash his hair with soapy water.
"Is there a comb in the room?" she asked.
"Yes, it's in that wooden box on the cabinet," Zhou Quan replied softly.
Li Mai reached into the wooden box on the counter, found a wooden comb, and washed and combed his hair.
"Why didn't you wash your hair?" Zhou Quan finally remembered this question.
He was wondering why she hadn't washed her hair when she helped him down, and he forgot to ask her that question.
"I fell three days ago and hit the back of my head. There's a scar there now, and I can't get it wet. I'll wash my hair after it heals in a while!" Li Mai felt that he was an insider and she should tell him.
"Huh? Is it serious? Your hair was covering it, I didn't even notice." Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, seemingly wanting to turn around and take a look.
Li Mai pressed down on his shoulder. "Don't move. You can't see it now, but I'll turn on the light for you in a bit."
"Okay!" Zhou Quan replied, obediently sitting down so that she could comb his hair.
After washing his hair, Li Mai took a dry cloth from the side, wiped it, and then used a wooden hairpin to secure it on top of his head before standing up. "Okay, are your legs and feet washed? Do you want to get up?"
"Okay, but how do we get out?" Zhou Quan's face flushed, and he was at a loss. His underpants had already fallen to the bottom of the bathtub and were definitely no longer wearable.
"I'll hold down one side of the bathtub, and you grab the cabinet with one hand and hold onto the bathtub with the other to try to stand up. Even if your legs are weak, try to stand up a little by using the bathtub as support, and then use the cabinet and the bathtub to sit on the stool outside. See if you can do it."
As she spoke, she moved the stool over and placed it between the bathtub and the cabinet.
Zhou Quan tried twice, but it didn't work. He couldn't get up, he couldn't use any strength in his legs, and he couldn't lift his body out of the bathtub even with his arms.
