I was in his arms. I looked up and saw his dark circles and tired eyes, and I knew that he hadn’t taken a good rest recently.
I can't help but feel a little upset.
“Ming, you should have a good rest today.” I said to him.
“OK.” He hugged me and got on the elevator.
Ming put me down when we got upstairs.
When I saw him open the door and I was about to go back my home, he grabbed my hand and said, “Come here.”
“You should have a good rest now. And I will talk to you tomorrow.”
I was standing.
He opened the door, but he still did not let go of my hand. He smiled at me slightly, “Do you think I would sleep peacefully tonight if I did not see how your leg hurts?”
I just realized that my legs are frozen and it will not be easy for me to walk.
But it was so late now, and I really didn’t want to bother Ming.
Seeing me still, he frowned slightly. “Are you going to let me hold you in?”
I flushed and shook my head. So I followed him into the room.
His room was cold and clean, but it was not too cold because of the central heating system.
When he turned on the light, he took me to the bedroom and touched my trousers on my body which made him feel distressed. “On such a cold day, you just dress like this. If you didn’t meet me, did you plan to walk to my hospital like this?”
I was embarrassed so I bowed my head, “I am sorry. I just... I am so worried about you.”
When I said that, Ming smiled.
He always smiled, but this time it seemed especially good-looking.
“Wait me for a minute.” He got up and went to the bathroom.
He quickly picked up a basin of water.
There was a towel soaking in the water.
He tried the temperature of the water with his hands before he said to me, “Take off your pants.”
“Ah?”
I looked at him blankly and I didn’t respond to what he was talking about.
“I’ll help you wipe your legs with warm water. Otherwise, your legs might get worse tomorrow.” Ming said while pulling my pants. Seeing me still, he smiled and said, “You are the second person to worry about me, and I can’t let you be hurt.”
“What about rolling up my trousers? My trousers was loose.”
I asked with a red face.
To be honest, I would feel shy if I have to take my pants off in front of a man...
Seeing that I was unwilling to take off my pants, Ming said helplessly, “You are going to marry me. Are you going to always wear clothes in front of me in the future? And I need to see the degree of frostbite on your thighs.”
His words made my face a little flushed.
In order not to embarrass me, Ming took a thin quilt and said, “After you take off your pants, you can cover it with a quilt, and I did not say you should take off your underwear.”
I pulled the quilt before taking off my pants and putting my legs on the edge of the bed.
He was half-kneeling there, and then he poked my leg with his hand and asked, “How do you feel?”
I shook my head.
My legs were frozen and I didn’t really feel anything.
Ming picked up the towel in the basin and wiped my legs slowly.
The towel was warm, and gradually my legs could feel something.
He wiped my leg for more than half an hour. My legs were slightly red and almost recovered. “Thank you, I think I am much better. You should rest now.”
After I finished speaking, he looked up at me and said nothing.
He first poured the water from the basin into the sewer.
I quickly put on my pants, but before I finished, Ming was back. He watched me wearing trousers and came over and pressed me directly onto the bed.
His thin lips did not hesitate to press down. I was a little nervous. My lips were closed tightly, and I felt he wanted to invade but didn’t continue.
Ming looked up at me with hesitation and said, “Are you not ready yet?”
