It was the coldest time in three or nine days, and it was night again. The howling north wind cut his face like a knife. Feng Shaojin hugged the person in his arms tightly, and asked in a low voice, "Is it cold?"
"not cold."
Mo Lingwei was indeed not cold, she leaned sideways in his arms, and the warmth was transmitted through the thick clothes.
She buried her head in Feng Shaojin's chest, and could hear the man's vigorous and powerful heartbeat.
One after another, like drumbeats, beating on her eardrums.
Feng Shaojin rested his chin on the top of her head, and his voice was hoarse: "If the bumps are uncomfortable, just tell me, I will ride slower."
Mo Lingjin let out a muffled "Hmm".
Back in the camp, Feng Shaojin carried her off the horse and carried her all the way to the bedroom, where she sat on the edge of the bed.
The soybean oil lamp was burning in the bedroom, the light flickered on and off, Feng Shaojin extinguished it, and lit the kerosene lamp again, the light in the room became brighter.
There was warm water in the stove, Feng Shaojin took a wooden basin from the anteroom, poured slightly scalding water, brought it to the edge of the bed, and squatted in front of Mo Lingwei.
Mo Lingwei was about to stand up when Feng Shaojin grabbed her ankle: "Sit still."
The man's voice was low and deep, and he took off her shoes and socks swiftly, and dipped her jade-like cold feet in the water: "The water temperature is a bit high, if you feel hot, just say so."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Mo Lingwei looked at the man with drooping eyebrows who was concentrating on washing her feet, and unconsciously recalled what Feng Yichen said in the ancestral hall in her mind, and her heart suddenly became confused.
She picked up her feet and rested them on the edge of the tub.
The man was twisting the cotton cloth for a while, and looked up at her: "Is it hot?"
"Well, a little." Mo Lingwei wanted to say that you don't need to wash it, I will do it myself, but when I met those narrow and deep eyes, many words were stuck in my throat, and I couldn't speak for no reason.
It seemed that in Feng Shaojin's eyes, being able to wash her feet was a very satisfying thing, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.
Feng Shaojin's big hands grasped her feet, and massaged the soles of her feet with callused fingertips.
Mo Lingwei was a little itchy, feeling uncomfortable, and wanted to retract her foot, Feng Shaojin asked, "What's wrong?"
"Itchy." Mo Lingwei lowered her eyes and said in a low voice.
Feng Shaojin chuckled, "The soles of your feet are cold and the blood flow is not smooth. I'll just rub it and it will be fine. Please bear with it."
The man's strength was neither light nor heavy, and those white and slender feet were extremely delicate, like an exquisite work of art in his palm.
Mo Lingwei's temperatureless feet gradually warmed up.
After a while, Feng Shaojin touched the temperature of the water, and put her feet in the tub again, "It's not hot anymore, let's soak for a while."
He wrung out the cotton cloth, wiped his hands, and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Mo Lingwei asked.
"Pour you face washing water." Feng Shaojin brought another wooden basin, poured water, twisted the face washing cloth half dry, and handed it to Mo Lingwei: "It's too late, and it's cold, just scrub it Go to sleep quickly."
He also got Mrs. Tang to cover her under the quilt, and wiped Mo Lingwei's feet clean.
Mo Lingwei wiped her hands and face, covered them in the quilt, looked up and saw Feng Shaojin washed her hands and face with the water she used, and soaked her feet without hesitation.
Feng Shaojin put on his cloak again, went to the study, brought a thick stack of documents, and put them on the table.
Turning to look at Mo Lingwei's eyes still open, he asked softly, "Can't you sleep with the lamp on? Or did I disturb you?"
Mo Lingwei moved her body to the inside: "Aren't you resting?"
"There are some urgent matters that need to be dealt with immediately, and we can rest after the processing is over." Feng Shaojin put down the curtain, "If you feel noisy, just say so, and I'll go to the study to review."
