Although separated by lenses, Lin Ye could still see Meng Yiming's sincere eyes, as if telling her that he had not lied to her in a single word.
Lin Ye's heart seemed to be burned, and his heartbeat became inexplicably irregular.
Maybe, just maybe, she was a little good at this, she thought to herself.
When returning to the base in the afternoon, Meng Yiming was ready to carry Lin Ye into the car, but Lin refused, feeling uncomfortable.
"Just hold on to me!" Lin said firmly.
She put one foot on the ground, leaning on a freshly cut branch as a crutch with one hand, and put the other hand through the back of Meng Yiming's neck and on his shoulder.
Meng Yiming was thirteen or fourteen centimeters taller than her. He half bent over, put one arm around her waist, and helped her walk forward.
The two of them were pressed against each other, and Lin could even smell the faint scent of disinfectant on Meng Yiming.
She had known that Meng Yiming was very clean. In this place with yellow sand everywhere and unbearable heat, most of the men were covered in dust and sweat, but Meng Yiming was the only one who kept himself clean and tidy every day, with not a single hair out of place.
At this moment, she smelled the scent of disinfectant again, and she felt that Meng Yiming was even cleaner and fresher.
"Do you feel this scene is familiar?"
Meng Yiming's voice brought Lin Ye back to his senses. Lin Ye said, "Last time I supported you like this, this time you support me."
Meng Yiming said, "Your memory is sometimes very good."
Lin also said: "The main thing is that in my entire life, this is the only time I've ever seen someone get hit by a bicycle!"
"For a lifetime?" Meng Yiming laughed. "You're only twenty-five. Saying a lifetime is a bit of an exaggeration. You might see bicycles hitting people more often in the future."
"No," Lin said confidently, "My mom said in the letter that some families have already bought motorcycles, and some have even bought cars. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer bicycles."
Meng Yiming was surprised, "You wrote this in the letter?"
"Well, tell me everything."
Although Lin Ye was not at home, she knew everything that went on at home, and Lin Yunyi would tell her about it.
Meng Yiming asked, "Have you told them that I'm here too?"
"Yes."
"What did they say?"
Lin was also puzzled, "What are they going to say about you?"
Meng Yiming said half-jokingly, "For example, thank me for taking care of you."
Lin Ye answered confidently, "I've been out here alone for so many years, I don't need anyone to take care of me!"
Meng Yiming said, "Don't exaggerate. I'm taking care of you now."
Lin Ye: “…”
After returning to the base, Meng Yiming helped Lin Ye back to her dormitory.
"I'm going to get some food."
More than ten minutes later, Meng Yiming came back with two large lunch boxes. The two sat at the desk and had dinner.
Meng Yiming went out with the lunch box, and Lin thought he was going to wash the lunch box.
A few minutes later, he came in with a basin of hot water. "Your wound can't come into contact with water. Just scrub it for the next few days."
As he spoke, he had already scooped up some cold water and started adding more water.
It was such a hot day and Lin Ye was working outdoors, so she couldn't go a day without taking a shower, but usually she would go to the bathroom to take a cold shower.
Meng Yiming had already mixed the water. "I'll wash your hair first. You can take a bath yourself."
Lin Ye immediately refused, "No, I can wash my hair myself!"
"How are you going to scoop water when your legs can't move?" Meng Yiming had already come over to help her. "Come on, stop being so shy. This isn't your style."
Later, Lin also sat on a stool with her injured leg stretched out to the side, and Meng Yiming stood beside her and scooped water for her to pour over her head.
Lin Ye bent over to wash her hair, and Meng Yiming noticed that her ears were always red.
After washing his hair, Meng Yiming poured out the dirty water and added another basin of warm water. He reminded her again, "Be careful not to let water get on the wound. It will get inflamed and cause trouble."
"I understand." Lin was also a little embarrassed and spoke in a muffled voice.
"I'll be there in half an hour."
"No need to come, I can handle it myself."
"You can land on one foot and jump while holding a large basin of water?" Meng Yiming said deliberately, "Don't be shy, you're making me shy too."
Lin Ye: “…”
Meng Yiming walked out and closed the door.
Lin Ye stared at the large basin of water in a daze.
It’s not that she has never had contact with boys. On the contrary, she has been playing with boys since she was a child.
They chased and played together, climbed trees and shot birds, and she even saw the boys peeing many times, but she never felt anything was wrong.
But ever since she pretended to be in love with Meng Yiming, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't find out what it was.
Lin stayed there for two minutes without any clue, and began to take off his clothes and wipe his body.
Half an hour later, Meng Yiming was outside. "Xiaoye, are you done washing?"
"Okay." Lin had already washed and dressed, and he came to sit by the bed with the makeshift crutch.
Meng Yiming pushed the door open, picked up the basin of dirty water and poured it out, then packed up the soap, shampoo and other things.
"Where are the dirty clothes?" he asked.
Lin was afraid that he would help her wash clothes, so she wrapped up the dirty clothes and hid them in advance.
Lin Ye's ears were burning. "No, wait until my leg feels better, I'll wash it myself."
Meng Yiming looked shocked. "Your clothes are all sweaty and dusty. You've been leaving them out in this hot weather for a few days. Are you worried there aren't enough flies?"
Lin Ye also knew that she usually changed and washed her clothes every day, but now she couldn't wash them.
She said sheepishly, "It's not that exaggerated. My leg will be healed in two days."
"Your wound won't heal for at least a week," Meng Yiming said. "You said it yourself, 'People of Jianghu should be more straightforward when they're out and about! Besides, do you think these clothes are being washed for free? I washed your clothes for a week, so you have to pay me back for two weeks."
Lin was not unwilling. Outer clothes and pants were fine, but the main thing was the underwear.
Meng Yiming looked impatient, "Hurry up, I'm tired all day, I also want to take a shower and rest."
Lin also insisted, "Really not necessary!"
"Alright." Meng Yiming compromised and said, "Since you're so shy, I'll ask Li Xuehua to help you wash."
He said this and turned to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Lin Ye called out to him anxiously, "Don't bother others!"
Meng Yiming turned around and said, "I love cleanliness. I can't accept covering up dirty clothes without washing them. It would have been fine if I didn't know, but now that I know, this is killing me! Either I help you wash it, or I'll hire someone else."
Lin Ye pointed to the wooden box beside the bed and said, "Inside."
Meng Yiming: "You are such a talent. You put all your dirty laundry in here."
"I'm not usually like this!"
Lin Yunyi is very particular. Although Lin Ye has a carefree personality, he has been taught by Lin Yunyi since he was a child and he also loves cleanliness.
Meng Yiming opened the box, picked up the dirty clothes rolled into a ball, took two basins, and went out.
The dirty clothes that Lin Ye took off included outerwear, pants, a tank top and underwear.
Lin Ye simply couldn't imagine how embarrassing it would be for Meng Yiming to wash these things!
