After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband
Chapter 243: Help Xiao Nan Chen take a Bath
Chapter 243
Xiao Nanchen struggled to stand up with the support of Xia Qiqi.
As he stood up, almost all his weight rested on Xia Qiqi.
His legs were numb, and he couldn't stabilize himself.
Xia Qiqi could feel the effort Xiao Nanchen was exerting, and she used all her strength to support him.
"Qiqi, give me the crutches," Xiao Nanchen said.
Xia Qiqi quickly handed the crutches to Xiao Nanchen.
With one crutch already in his hand and another one added, he finally managed to stabilize himself.
He wanted to walk out of the bathroom directly.
Even though he hadn't washed anything.
He decided not to wash.
"Aren't you going to wash?" Xia Qiqi asked him.
"No need to wash, I can do it tomorrow. The servants will come tomorrow," Xiao Nanchen said.
Xia Qiqi watched Xiao Nanchen's difficult steps as he left.
The floor was slippery.
Xiao Nanchen's every step was unsteady.
"I'll help you wash," Xia Qiqi suddenly spoke up.
Xiao Nanchen was slightly obsessed with cleanliness.
After a whole day of running around, sweating so much, especially after rolling on the floor, it would be more uncomfortable for him to go to bed without taking a bath than if he were killed.
But he kept enduring it.
Xiao Nanchen's body visibly froze.
He seemed to not believe what he heard.
"Don't think too much, I just don't want to owe you too much."
Not owing, that way there would be no connection at all.
Xiao Nanchen pursed his lips.
Today, the most frequent thing Xia Qiqi said to him was not to think too much.
Don't daydream, don't fantasize.
His throat moved slightly, and he said, "Thank you."
Then, he carefully returned to the shower.
Fortunately.
He hadn't taken off his red underwear at the moment.
Presumably, he had also anticipated that he might malfunction. If he really fell and Xia Qiqi had to take him to the hospital, it wouldn't be too awkward.
He even thought.
If he were completely naked, Xia Qiqi might choose to give up saving him directly because of his indecency.
Because of his consideration, it also avoided the embarrassment between them.
But he still felt stiff all over because Xia Qiqi's hand was constantly on his body.
At this moment, Xia Qiqi had only one thought.
That was to settle Xiao Nanchen as soon as possible, lock the door, and never see him again.
But when she saw the dense wounds on his body, she was still a little shocked.
Actually, the wounds had almost scabbed over, but because the bruises hadn't healed, they looked even more terrifying.
Xia Qiqi couldn't help but bite her lip, and the force of applying foam and scrubbing him with her hand clearly became lighter.
It was as if she was caressing him!
Xiao Nanchen told himself not to feel anything.
No feelings.
Xia Qiqi tiptoed to wash his upper body.
Although his skin was uneven and covered in wounds, Xiao Nanchen's physique...
For someone so thin, he actually had muscles.
And they were well-defined.
When she helped him bathe, Xia Qiqi could clearly feel the shape of his muscles.
No wonder he looked so thin, but felt as heavy as a lump of iron.
"Just wash casually," Xiao Nanchen said.
Xia Qiqi's fingers trembled.
At that moment, even her fingertips were shaking.
Xia Qiqi had just done everything to feel the contours of Xiao Nanchen's muscles.
She tried hard to remain calm and said calmly, "Do you have any idea how dirty you are after sweating so much today?!"
The implication was that because he was so dirty, she had touched him for so long.
Xiao Nanchen remained silent.
He endured it.
At this moment, Xia Qiqi became more natural and relaxed.
After washing his upper body, she squatted down to wash his legs.
"Do you have any sensation at all?" Xia Qiqi suddenly asked.
He did.
Xiao Nanchen had such a long leg, and it really... was useless?!
In her heart, she still felt guilty.
She even thought about what would happen if she lost her own legs?!
She was sure she would want to die.
"The doctor said that the left leg will regain some sensation after a while. With postnatal training, there is also a chance for the right leg to recover."
When Xia Qiqi said these words, she felt that Xiao Nanchen was actually comforting her.
Xia Qiqi bit her lip tightly.
She couldn't say anything.
She didn't want Xiao Nanchen to think that she was pitying him.
Nor could she pretend to be indifferent.
So, she could only choose silence.
Inside the bathroom, there was only the sound of water running.
Neither of them spoke.
Xia Qiqi helped Xiao Nanchen wash his upper body and lower body, but... she didn't touch the area where he was wearing underwear.
Her gaze was fixed on that spot...
So, what should she do?
She was afraid she would have nightmares.
"It's a normal reaction," Xiao Nanchen explained quickly.
Xia Qiqi was taken aback.
So Xiao Nanchen thought she was staring at him because of... his reaction.
Come on.
She had noticed it a long time ago.
She saw it when she helped him squeeze the foam.
And as an experienced person, she knew that men would have instinctive physical reactions. She wouldn't make a big deal out of it with Xiao Nanchen.
She said, "Do you want to wash yourself or should I help you?"
After taking a deep breath, she spoke directly and plainly.
"I can do it myself," Xiao Nanchen quickly replied.
There was a feeling that she seemed to have taken advantage of him.
Xia Qiqi was speechless.
She reached out and supported Xiao Nanchen, allowing him to free up one hand.
Naturally, she turned her head to the side.
Xiao Nanchen took a long time to wash.
Because it was really inconvenient. 𝘧𝑟𝓮𝓮𝓌𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝑚
They were afraid that if they weren't careful, both of them would fall to the ground.
Inside the bathroom, there was only the sound of the shower.
For some reason, Xia Qiqi felt a bit embarrassed.
She even had images of Xiao Nanchen in her mind at this moment.
Finally...
"Done," Xiao Nanchen said.
Xia Qiqi turned around.
She was originally quite calm.
She had been trying to face the fact that she would be helping Xiao Nanchen take a bath tonight with a very normal attitude.
After all, she was just taking care of a person with disabilities.
There was nothing profound to think about.
But when she saw Xiao Nanchen's face turning as red as a monkey's buttocks, she couldn't help but blush.
It felt as if they had really done something.
The atmosphere was so ambiguous.
"You're a man, why is your face so red!" Xia Qiqi complained, feeling somewhat displeased.
It made her feel embarrassed.
"I've never been looked at like this before," Xiao Nanchen explained.
His voice was somewhat soft.
He seemed extremely shy.
Damn.
Are you the uke (bottom)?!
It made her feel like she was the seme (top).
"Have I ever looked at it?" Xia Qiqi was speechless.
Who is really at a disadvantage in the end?
What's the point of a grown man hiding and concealing things?
She hadn't even mentioned her narrow-mindedness!
"Have you never seen a man's body?" Xiao Nanchen asked softly.
He appeared nonchalant, but it was clear he was being cautious.
"I haven't," Xia Qiqi replied irritably.
It was just an honest answer, without giving it much thought.
But when Xia Qiqi saw the smile at the corner of Xiao Nanchen's mouth, she clearly felt that something was off.
