She combed his bangs gently with a comb, then began to trim the hairs on his forehead bit by bit. She was very focused and all her attention was concentrated on the task at hand; she did not even notice the beautifully dark, amorous eyes beneath that were gazing at her from beneath the bangs.
Yi Jinli looked at the person who was right in front of him. Her face had gone slightly red because of the cold weather, and her pair of almond eyes, tiny nose, pink lips, and delicate face seemed to make people unable to look away. Under the light, her body seemed to emit a warm aura.
"It's done." After an unknown amount of time, her voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"It's done?" he asked. It was as if time spent with her passed extremely quickly.
"Mmm." She smiled, took two steps back, and carefully looked at him for a while. "My skill isn't too bad. In fact, it's rather good, and we've saved 10 yuan."
She smiled as she spoke. Then, she took out a dry towel and flicked off the fine strands of hair that were stuck to his face, neck and on his clothes.
"Alright, go take a shower," Ling Yiran said.
Yi Jinli took the change of clothes and walked into the narrow bathroom. Warm water rushed over his body. He lowered her head and looked at a scar on his chest.
With time, this scar had grown very shallow. However, every time he saw this scar, he would think of that woman.
The woman who had abandoned him and his father.
Perhaps this wound was the only thing left behind by that woman.
At that time, he had knelt and begged her not to leave, and not to abandon him and his father. However, she had ruthlessly pushed him away and left without looking back.
An iron cone had pierced the side of his chest. After that, the doctor had said that the cone had gotten very close to his heart. If it had been a little bit skewed, he would not have been able to save his life at all.
