“In the height of summer, who wouldn’t be uncomfortable after not bathing for two days?

Shen MO felt the same way.

But the problem was, how could one take a bath at a time like this?

Shen MO stared at Bai Youwei, slowly exhaling a breath through his nose, his molars clenched tightly.

Bai Youwei nibbled on biscuits, not looking at Shen MO, murmuring to herself,

“I want to take a bath.”

Shen Mo: ‘

A moment later, he got up and walked out the dorm room door.

At ten o’clock at night, Shen MO prepared bath water for Bai Youwei.

He found two large stainless steel basins in the canteen, washed them clean, filled them with water and heated them. When they were about four to five parts hot, he carried them to their dorm room—

Bathing or showering was not possible, they could only use the hot water for scrubbing.

Shen MO left the room, guarding outside the door.

As he reminisced about the past few days, he found it amusing that he’d ended up doing the things he’d never done in the first half of his life.

Who could blame him when she was a patient? Caring for a patient should take precedence over any gender related precautions. Besides, she was several years younger than him, just like a younger sister. It wouldn’t hurt his pride to make a few accommodations for her.

The sound of water echoed from the room intermittently. Shen MO, free of any frivolous thoughts, focused on these trivial matters, his anxiety gradually easing.

His earlier anger and frustration now seemed unnecessary.

When Bai Youwei had finished bathing, she shuffled to the door with her crutch and opened it with a squeak.

Shen MO turned around.

She had changed into a white dress, her long hair braided and draped over the front of her body. Her wet hair ends glistened, ebony against her clean white face. Under the night sky, her face glowed like a piece of jade, elegant and beautiful, a stark contrast to her sharp in-game persona.

He noticed a reddish-purple mark on her neck, quite eye-catching.

It was the mark he had left when he choked her in the game.

He had promised to bring her safely to Yangzhou, but the first injury on her body was inflicted by his own hand.

Shen MO didn’t know how to feel about this.

“There’s still a basin of water, do you want to wash as well?” Bai Youwei looked at him, slightly furrowing her brow, “What’s wrong?”

There were no mirrors in the room, she had no idea about the mark on her neck.

“Nothing.” Shen MO averted his eyes, and went into the room to get the water.

As he prepared to leave, he said, “If you need to use the bathroom at night, just call me. I’ll be in the next room.”

Bai Youwei pursed her lips upon hearing this.

After a moment, she responded with a low “Mmm”, and said, “Know it.”

Both of them knew that this was an opportunity for reconciliation.

The journey was not yet over, and continued friction would do neither of them any good. This was especially true for Bai Youwei.

So, when he extended an olive branch, she accepted it.

Before going to sleep, Bai Youwei needed to visit the bathroom again.

The procedure was calm and smooth. Shen MO found that as long as she didn’t lose her temper, it was easy to take care of her.

On their way back with the wheelchair, they ran into Monkey.

Monkey was waiting outside. Upon seeing them return, his face wore a somewhat awkward yet pleasing smile.

“We are parting ways tomorrow, so it doesn’t seem right for me to keep this.

You decide what to do with it.” He pulled out a cell phone and handed it to Shen MO, adding with a smile, “Don’t worry, the phone has no signal, nothing has been sent out, this is the only copy.”

Shen MO frowned, then handed the phone to Bai Youwei.

The phone contained the video of them harassing Bai Youwei. It wasn’t appropriate for him to watch it.

After handing over the phone, Monkey turned and left.

He used to be a small henchman following Big Brother Hui and had a low presence. Now, he seemed to have changed from before.

Shen MO stared at his retreating figure for a moment, then wheeled Bai Youwei back into the room, saying, “Delete it. If you are concerned, just take out the memory card..”
