Chapter 62 Let's go try out the new toilet together...
Lin Weiwei noticed that Bai Si'an shifted his body slightly, as if adjusting his posture.
"What's wrong?" she asked. "Are you uncomfortable sitting here?"
Bai Si paused for a moment, then made up an excuse, "I'm itchy."
"Itchy?" Lin Weiwei was taken aback. "Was it because you didn't wash it properly yesterday? I told you just rubbing it on wasn't enough!"
Bai Si'an went along with her words: "Maybe. I sweat a lot, and it's uncomfortable if I don't shower."
Lin Weiwei frowned: "But your shoulder is injured, you can't get it wet."
"So," Bai Si'an looked at her, pushed up his glasses, and spoke as naturally as if discussing a technical issue, "we need help."
Lin Weiwei: "..."
She glared at him: "You're doing it again!"
"That's the reality," Bai Si'an said calmly. "I'm wounded and need help. And..."
He paused, then pointed to the newly built toilet. "Now there's room. The new toilet is clean and convenient."
Lin Weiwei blushed: "You...you wish!"
Bai Si'an looked at her bright red ears, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes: "Then how can you bear to let me be so itchy all over and unable to sleep?"
"You..." Lin Weiwei was speechless.
She glanced at him, then at the newly renovated toilet, her mind in turmoil.
To be honest, she did feel a little sorry for him.
He's been working alongside us these past two days. He has a shoulder injury and difficulty walking, but he's never complained.
Now he's sitting here fidgeting, trying to scratch an itch but unable to. He looks really pitiful.
And... the new toilet is finished, and it's the first time I'm using it, so it seems... quite memorable?
Lin Weiwei's mind flashed with some indescribable images, and her face turned even redder.
"Just...just a quick wash!" she said stubbornly. "Don't think about anything else!"
Bai Si'an's lips curved into an even wider smile: "Yeah, I'll just wash up."
"Then you wait here!" Lin Weiwei stood up. "I'll go boil some water!"
She turned and walked toward the kitchen, her steps a little hurried.
As Bai Si'an watched her retreating figure, his mood suddenly improved.
My legs don't seem to hurt as much anymore.
Su Wanwan was tidying up in the kitchen when she saw Lin Weiwei come in. Her face was flushed, and she asked, "Weiwei, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?"
"No...it's nothing!" Lin Weiwei quickly said, "Wanwan, boil some water, Bai Si'an wants to take a bath."
Su Wanwan was taken aback: "Can his shoulders get wet?"
"No, so..." Lin Weiwei bit her lip, "I have to help him."
Su Wanwan understood, and her face turned red: "Oh... then, boil more water, so you two can wash together."
The car wheel ran over Lin Weiwei's face.
She poked Su Wanwan with her finger and said, "Wanwan, I knew you were just pretending to be virtuous!"
Su Wanwan, hands on her hips, replied, "I never said I was serious!"
The water was boiled. Lin Weiwei carried the thermos, a basin, and a towel, and said to Su Wanwan, "Wanwan, Bai Si'an said he's going to wash in the toilet in his yard, so we're going there."
"Okay." Su Wanwan nodded, looked at her, and whispered, "You... be careful."
"Okay!" Lin Weiwei blushed even more. "But Bai Si'an should be careful! Don't underestimate your sister's fighting power."
She carried her things into the yard, where Bai Si'an was still sitting, looking up at the starry sky.
The night sky over the Gobi Desert was clear, and the stars lit up one by one.
"The water's ready," Lin Weiwei said.
Bai Si'an stood up, limped over, and took the thermos: "Thank you."
The two entered the newly built toilet, one after the other, on Bai Si'an's side.
The toilet still smelled of cement and paint, but it was very clean.
The ground was flat, the wainscoting was smooth, and starlight shone through the small window in the corner.
Lin Weiwei put the basin down, added hot water, and tested the temperature: "It's ready."
Bai Si'an put down the thermos and began to unbutton his shirt.
Lin Weiwei turned around: "You...you take it off yourself!"
A rustling sound came from behind.
After a while, Bai Si'an said, "It's done."
Lin Weiwei slowly turned around.
Bai Si'an had his back to her, his upper body was bare, and the bandage on his right shoulder was very conspicuous.
As soon as Lin Weiwei turned around, Bai Si'an pulled her into his arms.
Bai Si'an leaned close to Lin Weiwei's ear and spoke, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe, instantly making her dizzy.
Bai Si'an's words echoed softly in her ears, "Weiwei, the fire is too big; we need your help to put it out."
As he said this, Bai Si'an's fingers were still drawing circles in Lin Weiwei's fair palm, making her feel a little itchy and tingly.
Lin Weiwei understood immediately!
That bastard Bai Si'an actually wants my help...
