Chapter 96 Warmth (I'd be a dog if I ever wrote a story like this again)

"Wash your face, come here quickly, let me wash your face, look how dirty you are."

"No~no~I won't wash my face!"

In this cramped bungalow, the two began a game of cat and mouse. She still couldn't escape Lu Ze's "clutches" and was pressed down in front of the basin, struggling desperately.

Lu Ze picked up a towel, put it in the basin of water and rinsed it twice. He then wrapped it in his palm and began to scrub her face vigorously. Soon, the white towel turned black. After rinsing it again, the water became murky.

Perhaps because Lu Ze's movements were quite gentle, she felt comfortable and gradually gave up struggling. She closed her eyes, puffed out her cheeks, held her breath, and when the warm towel covered her mouth, she blew out a breath and giggled foolishly.

"You're stupid."

He rubbed her head, changed the water in the basin, bit open a bag of white vinegar with his teeth and poured it into the basin. When she wasn't paying attention, Lu Ze pressed her head into the basin.

She was infested with lice, and quite a lot of them. Lu Ze didn't want to cut her hair, so he poured white vinegar on it and used the old method to corrode and kill all the lice. She started moving around again.

"It itches~ I'm getting up~ Ah~ It itches!"

"Don't grab it with your hands! Put your hands down! Don't move! If you move again, I'll beat you up."

Upon hearing that Lu Ze was going to beat her, she immediately shut her mouth and obediently let Lu Ze put his head into the basin of water to wash it. Perhaps because the lice were trying to escape, she was very itchy, but she still endured it, holding her trouser legs with both hands and silently bearing it.

After soaking for about ten minutes, I changed the water and soaked her again before taking out the shampoo and giving her a proper hair wash.

The bubbles on her head aroused her curiosity. Sitting on the small stool, she wanted to reach out and grab a handful, but Lu Ze ignored her and let her play with the bubbles while he vigorously rubbed her hair.

Actually, she's quite well-behaved. If something can attract her attention, she can play with it all day without getting bored. Like bubbles, when she plays with them, she doesn't care how hard Lu Ze hits her.

Only occasionally, when she scratched her scalp too hard and felt pain, would she hiss, turn her head and glare at Lu Ze in annoyance, and then continue playing.
"Okay! I'm exhausted."

The temperature inside the room rose. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, hung up the towel he had used to dry his hair, patted her head, and took her to wash her hands.

After washing her clean, she wasn't ugly, but she wasn't pretty either. She was probably around the same age as Lu Ze, but her eyes were very beautiful. If Lu Ze were to describe them, he would say they were very bright and clear.

"It's slippery. It's slippery."

She also noticed the change in her hair, pinched it between her hands and rubbed it back and forth, laughing happily. It turns out that even a silly girl has no resistance to soft, smooth hair.

"Let's eat then. Here, sweet potato."

The fire in the stove wasn't very hot anymore, since no coal was being burned and the heat couldn't be maintained for long. When he bought the quilt, he bought two sweet potatoes and threw them into the fire. Now they were just the right amount of hot sweet potatoes to eat.

She wasn't picky at all; she would pick up a food without peeling it and just start eating it. Lu Ze had no choice but to serve her like a servant, afraid that she would get sick from eating something too dirty.

He didn't have much money left, and the couple had no insurance. This small family couldn't withstand the devastation of illness.

There were no bowls or chopsticks at home, so she could only make do with two sweet potatoes each. Even so, she ate them happily, getting them all over her mouth.

Night fell quickly, and with no entertainment to do, they naturally needed to rest. However, Lu Ze looked at the fairly warm kang (heated brick bed) and felt troubled and embarrassed.

This was the first time he, a grown man, had slept with a girl he wasn't related to by blood. Going back further, the only time he had slept with Lu Nan was before he was six years old.

"Go to sleep, hurry up and get into bed."

"Oh." She obediently crawled into bed, peeking out her head and staring at him. Lu Ze was a little anxious. Her clothes were probably two years old, and he couldn't just waste these newly bought bedding.

"Get up. You can't sleep in your clothes, you know? It's not comfortable to sleep in them. Get up and take your clothes off."

She took off her clothes, and Lu Ze took them in his hands. The clothes were very big and thick, warmer than his own. He didn't know where she had found them. However, after taking off the coat, the shirt underneath was already tattered.

"I can't take it off."

His pants, along with his cotton trousers, were pulled down to his calves and then became constricted. Lu Ze had no choice but to grab the two pant legs and pull hard to get the pants off.

But after she took her clothes off, he was immediately dumbfounded. Underneath her cotton pants was only a pair of briefs, which were already very dirty. She was sitting on the mattress wearing only her underwear and tattered pajamas, not feeling ashamed at all, and just staring straight at Lu Ze.

She may be a fool, but she is indeed very well-developed, with all the right features. It was the first time Lu Ze had ever seen a woman, and he swallowed hard. The two stared at each other for a long time.

Lu Ze had attended high school and knew about hygiene, not just for men but also for women. Seeing how dirty her underwear was, he was worried that she might have contracted a disease.

With a determined effort, he pulled out his boxer shorts and shirt from his bag and threw them next to her.

"It's been changed, hurry up, call me when it's done."

Her IQ level should be around four or five years old, or maybe even higher. She knows how to change clothes, thus avoiding the embarrassing situation of Lu Ze stripping her naked.

Lu Ze only squatted in the outer room and smoked half a cigarette. She made two "ah" sounds and walked into the room. When she came in, Lu Ze saw the clothes she had changed out of. He didn't know how she had managed to take off her bra and put it aside, which made Lu Ze breathe a sigh of relief.

"Go to sleep."

He stubbed out his cigarette, took off his shoes, and lay down on the blankets next to her. It was already quite warm. The two looked at each other for a while, then Lu Ze pulled the light cord, plunging the room into darkness.

She gently turned over, the blanket rustling softly. Lu Ze suddenly felt a sense of security, his consciousness gradually sinking as he drifted off to sleep.
In the middle of his sleep, Lu Ze dreamed that a dog snuggled into his arms. He stroked the dog's fur, but he couldn't help feeling that the dog's fur was too soft, so he suddenly woke up from the dream.

Where did the dog come from? It was her who snuggled into his arms. Lu Ze's hand was around her head. Perhaps realizing that Lu Ze was awake, she looked up and chuckled softly.

Why aren't you sleeping?

"It's neither hot nor cold anymore."

After saying that, she crawled into Lu Ze's bed, her hands slipping under his armpits to hug his waist, her chest pressing against his stomach, feeling soft and warm.
Lu Ze blushed at her touch. Luckily, the room was dark, so he shrank back and smelled the shampoo in her hair. It smelled wonderful.

He didn't stop her, because she took off her thick coat. It would be strange if a woman wasn't cold lying in a cold bed. Lu Ze held her head and stood stiffly, not daring to move.

She rubbed her face against Lu Ze's chest, giggled, and found a comfortable spot to lie on Lu Ze's arm.

It's warm now.

"Go to sleep when it's warm, and don't move around."

I didn't hear her reply because her breathing had become even; she fell asleep so quickly and was sleeping very still, not moving around at all.

Lu Ze closed his eyes, smelling the fragrance of her hair, and then fell asleep as well.

Short stories don't have outlines; I just write whatever comes to mind. I guess I really am the man-eating flower of my motherland.
