Chapter 78: You Still Want To Do It Yourself?
Ming Liuyi did not get angry, she just took it as Yao Zizhou’s silent consent to give her half of the bed. She thought that after Yao Zizhou woke up, she would be more comfortable sleeping alone, but it was not as comfortable as sleeping next to him. This time, she moved back and did not want to leave.
Ming Liuyi looked at Yao Zizhou with a smile and said softly, “Thank you.”
Yao Zizhou did not say anything else. He just lay there silently, waiting for Ming Liuyi to apply the skin care products for him. When he was in a vegetative state and could not even speak, he had enjoyed the warm moments before bed. Of course, he had to experience it while conscious as well. Thinking of this, Yao Zizhou could not help but smile, and his eyes softened.
After Ming Liuyi finished moving the last of her things, she came in and saw the warm light of the bedside lamp shining on Yao Zizhou. He was lying there quietly with his eyes closed. Ming Liuyi’s eyes were filled with gentleness at this sight. Her heart also softened, and her steps became lighter. Yao Zizhou felt Ming Liuyi sit beside him and lean on him.
He raised his head, but he heard Ming Liuyi say, “Give me your hand.”
Ming Liuyi thought that since he was already awake and could move, she should let Yao Zizhou do his own skin care. After all, doing it for him was not good. After smearing the lotion on, he also had to pat it into his face. And this kind of action was somewhat tedious for him. Yao Zizhou was silent for a moment. He had waited so long, and this was the result?
After a moment of contemplation, he reached his hand out. Ming Liuyi immediately poured the toner into his hands. Yao Zizhou slapped his hands hard, and more than half of the toner splashed out. Then he rubbed his hands together, and the rest of the toner fell onto his lap. When he finally touched his face, there was barely anything left to apply. Ming Liuyi watched Yao Zizhou’s actions and was stunned.
‘Was this how Yao Zizhou used to do his skin care? With such rough movements, how could he possibly take care of his own skin?’
Ming Liuyi sighed helplessly and silently poured the toner onto her own hands. She rubbed her hands together a few times, and then gently patted Yao Zizhou’s face. Yao Zizhou felt very satisfied, and took the opportunity to say, “Thank you. I don’t really know how to use skin care products. I’ll have to trouble you from now on.”
When Ming Liuyi heard this, she did not doubt it, but a sense of pity welled up in her heart.
‘Such a powerful president had been in a vegetative state for months, and now he can’t even apply toner to his own face. And yet, he has to start cooking up plots and intrigues in the company as soon as he regained consciousness. It’s just too hard and pitiful. Can’t he take a few months to recuperate before starting work?’
Yao Zizhou did not know that he had become a pitiful little boy. He felt Ming Liuyi’s soft and tender touches, her soft pats on his face, the fragrance of skin care products, and the refreshing smell of spring water. He was very satisfied, and it was not until Ming Liuyi’s hands left his body that he realized his toner-soaked clothes were a little uncomfortable.
Yao Zizhou frowned and reached out his hand to unbutton his pajamas. Ming Liuyi saw his chest slowly being exposed, and her face immediately turned red.
‘What does he want, taking off his clothes at this time? Is he trying to do something?’
Ming Liuyi immediately pressed down on Yao Zizhou’s hand and nervously asked, “You, what are you trying to do?”
Yao Zizhou did not understand. Of course, he had to change his clothes. How could he sleep in such wet clothes? And it was very uncomfortable. Did Ming Liuyi not want him to change? But why was she so nervous? He did not know what Ming Liuyi was thinking. Did she think he was doing something?
Yao Zizhou said, “I’m changing my clothes, of course. Can’t you see that my clothes are all wet?”
Hearing this, Ming Liuyi suddenly realized that Yao Zizhou needed to change his clothes. In his current state, it was not suitable for him to do anything. After all, Yao Zizhou had just regained consciousness not long ago, and his body must be stiff and uncomfortable. Ming Liuyi let out a sigh of relief, but she still could not let Yao Zizhou take off his clothes like this.
She snuck a glance at him and whispered, “Don’t take them off yet, wait until I leave the room.”
Yao Zizhou continued to unbutton his shirt. Why should he not take his pajamas off? Every time she cleaned his body, Ming Liuyi would look at him from head to toe, so what was there to be shy about? He was only changing his clothes, it was not like he would do anything else. What was there to be nervous and shy about?
Yao Zizhou said coolly, “What are you afraid of? It’s not like this is your first time seeing me undressed.”
