After saying that, she put on the blanket and slept. He pulled the blanket and said, “It’s stuffy.”
“Don’t care about me.” She still didn’t uncover the blanket and said sullenly.
Boyce didn’t force her and got up to take a shower. When he came out, she seemed to fall asleep, and the soft sound of breathing could vaguely be heard. He slowed down his pace, walked towards the bed and bent down his body to pull the blanket which covered her head.
“Hmm !”
She turned over unpleasantly as she seemed to hear something and she faced Boyce. Since she had taken the fever reducer and was covered in the blanket, her body was sweating.
He brushed the hair away on her cheeks and touched her forehead. He could feel that the temperature receded.
Then he went to get a towel soaked in warm water and wrung it out to wipe her face. As he noticed her neck was also oozing with sweat, he wiped it too. Her skin looked pinkish probably because of sweating.
He could vaguely glimpse the part of her body underneath her collarbone even though it was covered by a blanket.
He swallowed and soon averted his eyes. He put the towel down and washed his face with cold water to make himself clear-headed before walking out. Then he took a thin blanket, lying down next to her but he didn’t lift her quilt.
Wasn’t it unpleasant for him to share the blanket with her since she didn’t wear any clothes?
He couldn’t do anything with her without thinking of her as she was still sick and asleep.
He knew clearly in his mind, but he was still eager and couldn’t fall asleep. Looking at her face, he thought of the scene in which she appeared in front of him in the rain. The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously and he got closer to kiss her forehead, saying softly, “I’m surprised and delighted that you’re here.”
At least it proved that this woman loved him as she came alone just to look for him and even lost her purse and got sick due to rain.
Boyce was tender because of Jasmine.
He held her in his arms and thought that he must protect her well.
At dawn, she woke up with a thirst, “Water !”
He had already woken up and was ready to go outside to buy breakfast. As he heard her murmuring, he walked over and asked, “What did you say?”
She was dazed and only felt the unbearable dryness of her mouth, “Water !”
He poured a glass of water and helped her up, then she took and finished it herself so that she felt more comfortable.
She opened her eyes and a soft light penetrated through the curtains, “Is it dawn?”
“It’s only six o’clock now, you just sleep a little longer and I’ll buy you something to eat,” He said as he put the water glass on the table.
Jasmine touched her own forehead and he said, “The fever went down last night and didn’t come back anymore.”
By the time he woke up, he had touched her forehead. The fever didn’t rise during the night.
She became more energetic now and said, “I didn’t bring any clothes to change, and yesterday’s clothes are all wet. What should I wear today?”
He said, “I’ll buy some clothes for you later.”
She smiled, “Alright, buy the ones inside too.”
He instantly grasped her meaning and his expression turned somewhat unnatural. He felt embarrassed to buy a woman’s bra and underwear as he was a man.
“You don’t want to buy it for me?” she asked.
He shook his head hurriedly, “No.”
She smiled. “Thank you so much. I’m hungry, buy some food for me.”
He pulled the blanket upwards on her, “Um, you can sleep awhile.”
She nodded while he took the car key and went out. The weather had turned sunny, there was no more standing water on the road, but it was still wet.
She couldn’t fall asleep, so she got up and found Boyce’s blouse to wear temporarily. Then she went to wash the wet clothes she had taken off last night and also Boyce’s clothes.
When he came back, he saw Jasmine had just finished washing the clothes and was about to dry them on the small balcony in the bedroom.
He put down the things in his hands and came over, “Let me dry them.”
She said, “I’m fine !”
He took the clothes from her hands without saying anything, pulled her into the room and pulled the thin blanket he had covered last night and wrapped it around her. She was confused, “I’m fine. It’s hot if you wrapped this tightly.”
She struggled and tried to pull the blanket away, but Boyce didn’t allow it.
She tilted her head to look at him, “Why?”
His eyes skimmed over her and said, “You stay in the house and don’t go out. I’ve put the breakfast on the table, go over and eat. I’ll dry the clothes.”
Jasmine pulled the hem of his shirt and asked, “Why aren’t you looking at me? Are you angry?”
But why? Why was he so weird?
He said, “Go and eat quickly. I’m not angry.”
She pursed her lips and said, “Then why are you wrapping a blanket around me?”
“You’re not wearing anything !it’s not good to stand on the balcony.” He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment for being too straightforward.
“Who said I’m not wearing anything? Aren’t I wearing your clothes? The windowsill is so high, even if someone looks towards here, they can only see my upper body !”
“It’s not okay too.” He said in a deep voice, “Go and eat otherwise the food is going to turn cold.”
After finished speaking, he walked towards the balcony to dry the clothes.
Jasmine looked at him, “Are you afraid that others will see my body?”
He didn’t say anything and picked up the clothes rack to dry the clothes.
She wrapped the blanket around her body and stood up, then walked to the windowsill, leaned against the wall and looked at him with a smile, “I’m asking you, why don’t you answer me? Are you afraid that my body will be seen by others?”
He turned his head over, “You’re my wife.”
By definition, only he himself could see it.
How could she cover-up in just a blouse? Moreover, it was all naked inside.
She said, “I know.”
She came over, put her arms around his neck and smiled radiantly, “I like your touchy look.”
