Chapter 132: Impudent Request
Chapter 132: Impudent Request
It was already late at night when Ouyang Mengmian dragged her tired body back to the apartment. However, when she opened the door, she found that the light in the living room was still on - Su Jingsi was still awake like yesterday.
For Su Jingsi, staying up late like this has long become commonplace. Even with an injury on his hand, he did not reduce his workload at all. Tonight, he even had a special call with the boss. The boss appreciated that he was able to maintain a normal work progress after the injury, but at the same time he also told him to pay attention to rest and not to let work affect his recovery.
In fact, the reason why Su Jingsi was still awake was not only because of his busy work. More importantly, he was waiting for Ouyang Mengmian to come back.
Ever since Ouyang Mengmian moved into this apartment to take care of him, he gradually got used to this kind of waiting. Whenever Ouyang Mengmian was about to get off work, he would always stop the work at hand and look forward to the moment when he saw Ouyang Mengmian.
At this moment, seeing Ouyang Mengmian walking into the house, Su Jingsi immediately showed a warm smile to her.
Ouyang Mengmian didn't expect that Su Jingsi was still awake at this time. In her opinion, she came back so late last night, and Su Jingsi didn't sleep, maybe it was just because it was her first time back to the apartment, and he was worried that he couldn't find the place.
Although she came back earlier today than yesterday, it was still late. Su Jingsi still hadn't slept at this point, and Ouyang Mengmian was very sure that Su Jingsi was waiting for her.
"You're back?"
"Yeah. I'm back."
The conversation between the two was so formulaic that it was almost meaningless. Ouyang Mengmian guessed that Su Jingsi might have something to say to her, so she stopped in front of the shoe cabinet and changed her shoes much more slowly.
Su Jingsi was standing not far in front of Ouyang Mengmian. He stood there, staring at her intently. He seemed to have something to say, but was a little hesitant and didn't know how to start.
Ouyang Mengmian felt Su Jingsi's gaze, she quickly changed her shoes, raised her head, and met Su Jingsi's eyes. She found that Su Jingsi's eyes were full of complex emotions, seeming a little nervous, and a little expectant.
She was moved and slowly walked to Su Jingsi and asked softly: "Su Jingsi, what's wrong with you? Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Su Jingsi was slightly stunned, then nodded. He took a deep breath, as if mustering up his courage, and then slowly spoke: "I... I want to tell you something... I'm just afraid that what I say may be too presumptuous..."
Hearing Su Jingsi's words, Ouyang Mengmian couldn't help but recall the scene when she and Su Jingsi hurriedly parted in the elevator. She was slightly moved, but still smiled, shook her head and said, "Just say what you want to say. It's not presumptuous. Besides, if you don't say it, how can I know whether your words are presumptuous or not?"
Ouyang Mengmian's half-joking words made Su Jingsi's tense expression relax. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Actually, it's nothing important...it's just...I want to wash my hair tonight..."
When Ouyang Mengmian heard Su Jingsi say that he wanted to wash his hair, he immediately widened his eyes and stopped him seriously: "Your hand is injured, you must not touch water, and you must not wash your hair! What if the wound gets infected? However, if you really feel uncomfortable with oily hair, I will help you wash it."
Su Jingsi had originally discussed with Ouyang Mengmian about asking her to help him wash his hair. After he took the risk of taking a bath and was discovered and scolded by Ouyang Mengmian, he dared not try to take a bath easily again. The washing of the body was limited to wiping gently with a towel or rinsing with a small amount of water. But the experience of not washing his hair for a day or two has reached the limit of his tolerance.
Tomorrow he and Ouyang Mengmian will go to a nearby scenic spot. He felt very embarrassed and uneasy when he thought about staying with Ouyang Mengmian with his greasy hair. He proposed to Ouyang Mengmian the idea of asking her to help him wash his hair, and he decided after hesitating for a long time.
"Well...thank you very much." Su Jingsi said gratefully, with a relieved smile on his face.
"There's nothing to thank me for. This is what I should do." Ouyang Mengmian said as he smiled at Su Jingsi and got up to prepare the tools and supplies for washing his hair.
