“Hm,” Wei Zhiqian paused for a few more seconds before barely making such a sound that sounded as if it required quite some effort to voice.
Tan Mo stayed where she was and was nervously swallowing her saliva.
Finally, Wei Zhiqian moved away and sat up.
His waist seemed to be bent a lot more than usual.
As soon as Wei Zhiqian moved away, the cool autumn night wind took the opportunity to come blowing.
The cool wind blew and with this, Tan Mo’s mind also became clearer.
She finally remembered that she had healing magic.
No matter where Wei Zhiqian felt uncomfortable, couldn’t she just treat him?
So Tan Mo quickly said, “Uncle, let me treat you.”
Wei Zhiqian: “…”
It wasn’t like he could tell Tan Mo what was going on.
If Tan Mo accidentally exerted too much of her healing magic on him and rendered him ‘unable’, who could he go to reason with?
“There’s no need. A quick shower will do,” Wei Zhiqian said and rushed into Tan Mo’s bathroom.
Tan Mo: “…”
Even though the little snow fairy was quite knowledgeable, she couldn’t figure out what illness could be cured after with just a shower.
Tan Mo sat up and scratched her head, still wondering.
But for some reason, when she recalled the image of Wei Zhiqian pressing her under his arms, she could feel her face burn.
Not long after, the sound of water came from the bathroom.
The shower Wei Zhiqian took ended very quickly.
When Wei Zhiqian went into the bathroom, Tan Mo had forgotten to look at the time.
Therefore, when the sound of water disappeared, Tan Mo could only roughly estimate the time he took, which should be about five minutes.
Just as Tan Mo was pondering, she suddenly heard the sound of the bathroom door handle turning.
It was just too quiet in the room, which made the sound of the door handle turning especially clear.
Only then did Tan Mo remember that Wei Zhiqian hadn’t brought a change of clothes!
Was he wearing the clothes he wore just now?
At this moment, the bathroom door opened.
When Tan Mo saw Wei Zhiqian, she felt a heat in her nose and subconsciously covered her nose, in fear that a nosebleed was coming.
Wei Zhiqian hadn’t brought a change of clothes nor pajamas, so he simply did not put on a shirt and was only wearing his long pants.
She wondered why he was so fast. In just five minutes, he had even washed his hair.
However, he hadn’t been able to dry his hair completely, thus his short black hair was still wet, water dripping from the ends of his hair onto his shoulder.
When Wei Zhiqian approached Tan Mo, a gust of cold air rushed towards her.
Tan Mo touched Wei Zhiqian’s arm in surprise. She did not forget to lower her voice as she asked, “Uncle, did you shower with cold water?”
Wei Zhiqian nodded. He thought to himself, what choice do I have?
He was already on “fire”. If he used hot water to shower, he would probably be wasted here tonight.
“Why did you shower with cold water? It’s so cold now,” Tan Mo grumbled as if suddenly transforming into a cute maid, “I’ll turn on the air conditioner for you.”
It was not the time where the heaters would be automatically turned on since there was usually no need to turn on the heating in October.
However, Wei Zhiqian’s body felt cold to the touch now, Tan Mo was worried that he would fall sick.
At this point, Tan Mo couldn’t even be bothered to check out Wei Zhiqian’s figure.
Wei Zhiqian: “…”
If she did that, then what was the point of him not wearing a shirt?
“There’s no need,” Wei Zhiqian pulled Tan Mo back. He didn’t forget to whisper, “I’m not cold at all.”
The purpose of taking a cold shower was to lower his temperature. If she turned on the heater, his shower would have been in vain.
“I took a cold shower because I felt hot,” Wei Zhiqian explained.
“Is that so?” Tan Mo muttered in her heart that men did find it easy to feel hot, but her uncle seemed to be particularly easy in that aspect.
At this season, with this weather, yet he was so hot that he had even taken a cold shower.
“But you have to dry your hair,” Tan Mo said again. This time, without allowing Wei Zhiqian to stop her, she had already rushed to the bathroom to get the hairdryer.
For her convenience to play with her phone and watch videos in bed, a row of outlets had been installed on the wall above the bedside table.
Tan Mo then plugged the hairdryer into the outlet at the bedside and pressed Wei Zhiqian down, telling him to sit quietly by the bed and not move around, so that she could blow-dry Wei Zhiqian’s hair.
Tan Mo combed Wei Zhiqian’s hair with one hand while she dried his hair to ensure that the hair underneath was also dried.
As Wei Zhiqian’s hair gradually became dry, it became smoother fell smoothly.
Tan Mo rarely saw Wei Zhiqian’s hair in such a smooth and falling manner that he looked seven or eight years younger in an instant.
When his hair was dry, Tan Mo put the hairdryer back.
When she came back, she found Wei Zhiqian had leaned against the head of the bed and was sleeping.
Tan Mo tip-toed to the bed, thinking to herself, “Was uncle so tired?”
Not once did the thought of making Wei Zhiqian leave pop up in her mind at this moment.
She naturally accepted the idea of allowing Wei Zhiqian to sleep here tonight.
What she was struggling with now was whether to wake Wei Zhiqian up.
If she didn’t wake him up, it would be very uncomfortable for him to sleep like this, but Tan Mo just couldn’t bear to wake him up.
Little did she know that Wei Zhiqian was just pretending to be asleep.
After all, how would he just fall asleep so easily after taking a cold shower?
Tan Mo thought about it and decided to wake Wei Zhiqian.
So Tan Mo called out in a low voice, “Uncle, uncle.”
After calling out for a long time, Wei Zhiqian still did not wake up.
She did not dare to speak loudly, afraid that her family would hear her.
She could only poke Wei Zhiqian’s shoulder again.
Only then did Wei Zhiqian’s eyelids move before he opened his eyes as if he had just woken up.
He looked at Tan Mo blankly. “I fell asleep?”
“Uncle, lie down and sleep,” Tan Mo said softly.
Wei Zhiqian almost could not hold back his smile. He quickly covered his lips and pretended to yawn. Then, he narrowed his eyes and slowly lay down.
Tan Mo thought about it and went to get a blanket to cover the floor. She would make do on the floor for the night.
Besides, the carpet was thick and soft. It wouldn’t be a problem for her to make do for the night with a blanket.
Just as Tan Mo moved, her wrist was grabbed by Wei Zhiqian.
Wei Zhiqian didn’t say anything, he simply forcefully pulled Tan Mo onto the bed.
In a swift motion, he pulled Tan Mo into his arms and hugged her tightly. “Just sleep like this. Why go through all the trouble?”
He didn’t open his eyes and Tan Mo didn’t say anything.
However, Wei Zhiqian could easily guess Tan Mo’s thoughts.
Tan Mo: “…”
Wei Zhiqian didn’t dare to do anything now.
He didn’t want to take another cold shower.
So he just hugged Tan Mo and slept.
Hearing Wei Zhiqian’s slow breathing, Tan Mo gradually quieted down and fell asleep unknowingly.
Wei Zhiqian hadn’t fall asleep. Only after seeing Tan Mo fall asleep did he calm himself down and slowly fell asleep.
At four o’clock in the morning, Wei Zhiqian woke up.
Tan Mo was still sleeping soundly in his arms, clueless that he had woken up.
Wei Zhiqian kissed her slightly pouted lips before he slowly pulled his arm out from under her head.
He tried his best to keep the sounds of his movements as low as possible as he put on his clothes and looked for Tan Mo’s phone.
He set her phone to mute before sending her a WeChat message.
