Huo Wu’s hands were covered with mud. Huo Yusen was wearing light-colored clothes today. She was afraid of staining his clothes. After seeing him, she didn’t dare to hug him directly.
In the end, Huo Yusen held her hand first and took her to rest in the breakroom.
Most of the staff in the crew were acquainted. Since there were only the two of them in the breakroom, no one would be bothering them. At this time, Susan knocked on the door and brought in a washbasin, a towel, and a thermos of hot water. After the things were set on the table, Susan knew her place and left.
In summer, the temperature was high. The muddy water quickly dried up and stuck to her face. Huo Wu had several hairs sticking to the mud stains, so it was very uncomfortable when it dried on her face.
Huo Wu raised a dirty cat-like face and reached for the thermos with two mud-stained hands. The thing she wanted to do most now was to clean her face and two hands with hot water but another hand took the thermos bottle a step faster than her.
“I’ll do it.”
Susan had already filled the basin with cold water, so they only needed to mix in hot water to use.
Huo Yusen poured some hot water first, adjusted the water temperature, and dampened the towel after making sure it was the right temperature.
Huo Wu blinked and kept quiet, observing Huo Yusen’s movements.
It wasn’t until he wrung out the towel and unfolded it did she ask, “Big brother, do you want to wipe my face?”
“Hmm.”
Huo Wu couldn’t help but smile at the words. “I’m not a kid anymore that needs you to help me wash my face.”
Huo Yusen glanced at her, then curled the corners of her lips. “You are a child as long as you are younger than me.”
Huo Wu rolled her dark eyes and joked, “Then I would be a child for the rest of my life?”
Huo Yusen chuckled and didn’t answer. He picked up the hot towel and gently wiped Huo Wu’s muddy face.
As soon as the hot towel touched the skin on Huo Wu’s face, she subconsciously dodged, and pouted, “It’s too hot.”
It was the hottest part of summer. Huo Wu was already too hot, and now her most delicate face was being wiped with a hot towel. She could barely stand it.
Huo Yusen tested the temperature of the towel with the back of his hand and felt that the temperature was within his tolerance. However, the rough skin on the back of his hands and the delicate skin on Huo Wu’s face were naturally not equal. Huo Yusen waited for the heat of the hot towel to recede a bit before wiping her face gently. He explained, “If the temperature of the towel is not hot, the mud cannot be cleaned off.”
The muddy water had dried. It was easier to wipe off with hot water than with cold water.
This time, Huo Wu obediently let Huo Yusen help her clean her face.
Her face, which had been dirtied by mud and water, once again showed a delicate and beautiful face.
Because hot water was steaming over her, her face was red, and her skin was like a freshly peeled egg, which looked so delicate it could be damaged just by blowing on it. Her eyes were steamed by the water vapor, and her eyes were shining, as if several stars had fallen, bright and moving. Huo Wu, who had her face washed, was a bit more obedient and cute than she was previously.
Wash your hands after washing your face.
Huo Yusen changed the basin of water and then went outside to bring in clean cold water.
After he adjusted the temperature, Huo Wu obediently put her hands in the warm water in the basin like a child. She never got to enjoy this type of treatment before when she was a child, and she did not expect to experience it at this time.
This kind of experience was very peculiar. She was not at all resistant in her heart and even very happy.
Huo Wu’s parents died early, so when she was very young, she had no parents to wash her face and hands gently and tenderly. When other children’s parents helped to dress and wash their faces, she did these things for herself.
It was said that children from poor families have been in charge of a household since very young, and Huo Wu knew the truth that life was not so easy at such a young age. When she was a child, she never enjoyed a moment of tenderness like the one she was experiencing just now. Two hands, holding a towel, and wiping the dirt from her face, gently, as if afraid of hurting her – she knew it was impossible in the past, but she still hoped that the moment just now can last forever.
After Huo Wu put her hand in the hot water, she hissed in pain.
She didn’t feel it before, but just now she felt that her finger hurt fiercely.
Huo Yusen raised his eyes to look at her. “What’s the matter?”
Huo Wu hurriedly took her hand out of the washbasin and wiped herself clean. At that moment, the index finger of her right hand, which was still dripping with water, reached out to Huo Yusen, and she said pitifully, “Big brother, my hand is hurt.”
Huo Wu’s skin was white and delicate, so the bloody wound looked extremely dazzling.
This wound must’ve accidentally happened when she was cut by a stone while she was filming in the mud just now. At the beginning, her mind was still immersed in the acting. After filming, her mind was distracted by Huo Yusen, who came to visit the crew. So now, she just found out that her finger was injured.
