When Yao woke up again, he found that the water temperature had cooled down a lot.
"Yao-kun, have you recovered a little bit of strength?"
Sensing the movement of him raising his hand to rub his eyes, Asuna breathed a sigh of relief. If she continued to maintain this posture, not to mention anything else, her kneeling legs would soon become completely numb due to lack of blood circulation.
"I can wipe my body by myself, you go out first."
Although he took a short rest, Yao didn't feel any signs of improvement, his head seemed to be stuffed with a big sticky paste, and even his reaction speed was half a beat slow.
"Okay, then come out quickly, lest you catch a cold."
Asuna, who had scruples in her heart, heard what he said, first rubbed her numb legs, stood up after a while, and was going to go out to warm up the milk first.
However, she still seemed to have underestimated her current physical condition too much. The side effects of blood being blocked for a long time were fully reflected when she stepped on the bathtub with both feet.
She only felt a numbness in her legs, a tingling sensation from her calf, and then her right foot slipped, her body fell toward the outside of bathroom.
It's over!
Out of the corner of her eye, when she caught a glimpse of the approaching hard floor, this thought flashed through her mind, and then she subconsciously closed her eyes tightly.
Yao was originally in a dull state of perception of the surroundings, but because of the sudden faint sound of water splashing into his ears, and the knee that hot his back, made his eyebrows wrinkle, and his brain returned to normal operation.
In the current situation, there is only one possibility in which these two factors can appear at the same time, and that is that the woman behind him is in the process of falling.
He didn't have time to think about it, his body quickly turned to the right, and when Asuna was about to fall to the outside ground, his left hand barely grabbed the back of her head, and pressed it into his arms.
"Boom!"
The bathtub made of tiles was knocked out by Yao's elbow, the sound continued to echo in the bathroom, and it didn't completely dissipate until a few seconds later.
"Are you okay?"
Even though he already felt the blood from his left elbow, Yao didn't care much, but was more concerned about whether the woman in his arms was frightened.
"No... I'm fine..."
With her cheek pressed against his hot chest, Asuna stammered back.
In the next second, she realized that she was facing this little man face to face now, and her face turned red.
"Don't worry, I'll close my eyes."
Yao said lightly, he already had a fever, and the situation just now was urgent, so he didn't have the heart to take a glimpse of the scenery in front of him in this process.
Asuna straightened her waist and saw that he had closed his eyes with a calm expression. She was slightly relieved, but when she was about to get up to leave, she suddenly saw the small opening on the edge of the bathtub, which was still stained with blood.
Thinking of the loud impact just now, she reacted suddenly, and without any shyness, she quickly but gently lifted his left arm that was resting on the edge of the bathtub.
"Does it hurt?"
Looking at the little blood beads condensed on the wound, she only felt extremely distressed.
Yao slowly opened his eyes, looking at the woman's worried and self-blaming expression, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless, did she really treat him like a child who would cry when he gets hurt?
"Okay, go out quickly, I'm a little hungry."
Raising his left hand, Yao stood up from the bathtub with, didn't pay attention to the woman with a dull expression, went straight to the place where the clothes were hung, picked up the short-sleeved pajamas and put them on, without paying attention to his wet body.
After he left the bathroom, Asuna recovered from the trance, her cheeks were flushed, she began to wipe her body briefly, and then put on her clothes neatly.
Dinner was simple, a large bowl of boiled milk and several large pieces of bread.
After solving the problem of food and clothing, Yao returned to the bedroom with a yawn, and fell asleep just after lying on the big bed.
For fear of disturbing his rest, Asuna did not light the candles, but relied on the rare moonlight in the typhoon day, even though the light was very weak, she still finished dressing the wound.
After making sure that the bandage wasn't wrapped too tightly, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the little man sleeping soundly on the bed, her eyes were extremely complicated.
She didn't know whether she should be grateful, shy, or feel distressed now.
Probably all three.
After standing up, she bent down slightly, carefully covered Yao with the quilt, gently stroked his slightly wrinkled eyebrows with her fingers, and left the room lightly.
Back in her bedroom, she put on a loose nightgown and untied her light orange hair had been coiled behind her head.
Just as she was about to lie down and rest, she saw the mirror on the edge of the bedside table.
Asuna sat on the small wooden bench, looking at her own face in the mirror, she couldn't help touching the smooth and firm skin on her cheeks.
What the hell am I thinking!
I should just rest quickly, I have to practice tomorrow morning!
She shook her head vigorously, and fell down on the soft big bed.
"I don't know if Yao-kun's fever has subsided a little bit. "
After a long time, she opened her eyes with a tangled expression and looked at the dark ceiling. After tossing and turning several times, she sat up with a wry smile.
"Forget it... Let's go and see it, lest his condition get worse."
With this in mind, she once again came to the bedroom where Yao lived temporarily.
One of her hands was propped on the big bed, and the other tentatively covered Yao's forehead.
When she found that the temperature on his forehead was not as high as before, a smile appeared on her face.
Just as she was about to withdraw her hand and prepare to go back to the bedroom to rest in peace, Yao suddenly opened his eyes, without saying anything, grabbed her waist and hugged her into his arms.
"Yao-kun, let me go!"
Lying on the bed in his arms, Asuna hurriedly pushed and kicked her little feet a few times, but she didn't dare to use too much force, because of the fear of hitting the scars left by the zombie on his body.
"Don't move, just sleep with me quietly."
Yao said lightly, without much fluctuation in his tone.
In fact, he could have a peaceful sleep earlier, but this woman made a fuss to help him treat the wound with a bandage, and when he was almost asleep, she returned to the room and touched his forehead, which made him feel helpless.
He simply didn't want to bear it, so he just hugged her to bed and slept together, and it was over.
"But..."
Looking at his indifferent eyes, Asuna just wanted to say something, but suddenly remembered everything that happened in the bathroom just now, and the firm idea of rejecting him softened in her heart, the words she was about to say also became meaningless.
"Okay...but only sleeping, no other behavior is allowed."
