Bab 501: Crazy Badgering (Part One)

Zhao Anan had not taken a shower for a long time now. Her hair was unkempt, clothes filthy and old. She was covered with mud and her hands and feet were dusty.

Mu Qing stood up and brought a basin of hot water near the bed. He wrung the towel and wiped Zhao Anan's face gently. Then he moved to her short hair and continued wiping her dirty hands and feet. He changed her into a comfortable, cotton gown and cut her fingernails sitting by her bedside.

Zhao Anan's hands had been wiped clean by Mu Qing, showing the original whiteness. Her fingers were long and hands well maintained because she had never done any housework before.

She was a tomboy, so she did not care about nail paints nor did she keep those shaped long nails. Her fingernails used to be short and clean.

But she had not cut them for a long time now, and had been unclean before Mu Qing wiped them.

Mu Qing cut her fingernails gently and patiently as his heart ached for her.
