Li Junsheng sat in the bathtub and looked at Ye Zhen. There was a hint of a hidden smile in his eyes.
His little girl might not have noticed it, but her attitude towards him had changed a lot compared to the beginning.
His little girl hadn't noticed this change, but he had.
"Uncle Li, next time you encounter something like this, don't rush to the front."
"Okay."
"Actually, it's none of your business. There are so many people –"
Ye Zhen couldn't continue. This thought was actually a little selfish. When she was still a commoner, she would have hoped that their official would have done more for her.
But one day, when she became the family of these officials, she only hoped that they would be safe.
That fire was not a joke. What if there was something –
"Okay."
After Ye Zhen finished complaining, she took the bath towel and was about to bathe Li Junsheng. However, at this moment, she suddenly realized a problem and stopped her movements.
Li Junsheng watched as her face turned red bit by bit. Seeing that she stood there motionless, he pretended to be puzzled and asked.
"What's wrong?"
"Uncle Li." Ye Zhen handed the bath towel to Li Junsheng with a slightly red face. "You only have one hand injured. You can do it yourself."
"But, I'm afraid of touching the wound."
"You –" Ye Zhen gritted her teeth. The water was very clear. She could see at a glance that in the water, that –
She retracted her gaze. She was still in the mood to be distracted at a time like this. "Uncle Li, you can bathe yourself."
"Okay." Li Junsheng didn't object. He took the bath towel, but his hand suddenly loosened. The wet bath towel fell onto his injured arm.
"Pfft –"
Li Junsheng took a deep breath. Ye Zhen's expression changed. "Uncle Li, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Li Junsheng said with a "weak" expression, "Maybe it's because I didn't sleep last night. I'm a little tired. I'm fine."
He reached out to get the bath towel again, but Ye Zhen was one step faster. She looked at the wet bandage and felt her face turn pale.
"The bandage is wet. What should I do? Why don't I send you back to see a doctor? Or should I call a doctor over? "
"No, it should be fine. Just help me bandage it later."
"But –"
"I'm so tired." Li Junsheng's face looked weaker and weaker. "I want to take a shower and have a good sleep."
"Then let me help you."
How could Ye Zhen dare to let him make a move? She took the towel and began to bathe Li Junsheng. Her face was full of worry, so she didn't see the flash of joy and the smile of success in Li Junsheng's eyes.
Washing his upper body was fine. Although Ye Zhen's movements were a little clumsy, he still managed to wash his body smoothly. However, when he washed his lower body, he felt a little awkward.
She stared at Li Junsheng's body underwater, her face burning. "Uncle Li –"
"It's fine. Go ahead and wash yourself. I just want to sleep. "
Ye Zhen gritted his teeth, not daring to hesitate any longer. He closed his eyes and reached into the water.
…
By the time Ye Zhen finished bathing Li Junsheng and came out of the bathroom, her hands were sore.
Looking at the refreshed and energetic Li Junsheng, no matter how slow she was, she realized that something was wrong.
"Uncle Li, you …" Was he pretending just now?
"You're tired, aren't you?" Li Junsheng looked at her and smiled gently. "I'm sorry. The main thing is that I can't control myself when you bathe me like that. It's been hard on you. "
"I –" Ye Zhen wasn't as thick-skinned as him. She couldn't say that as if it was as normal as eating. She gritted her teeth and glared at him. "You still said that your wound hurts."
Because he was injured and the wound hurt, he had to trouble her to help him with his hands.
But shouldn't the wound hurt and rest?
"Yes." Li Junsheng nodded and looked at his wet bandage. "Look, it's all wet. Help me bandage it again."
Ye Zhen, who had been tricked, didn't want to talk to him at all. Looking at the wound, she could only helplessly get the medicine box.
When she removed the bandage on Li Junsheng's hand, her caution turned into worry. "How did you get so badly hurt?"
There was a large burn mark, and the red muscles inside made her feel uncomfortable. She bit her lip, and the corners of her eyes reddened uncontrollably.
"It's fine. I already said it's a small injury. As long as you're not angry with me, it's fine. "
Ye Zhen glared at him and didn't say anything else. She picked up the medicine prescribed by the doctor and applied it to his wound again. Then, she carefully bandaged his wound.
After the wound was bandaged, Ye Zhen took the medicine box and was about to return to the living room.
"Don't go. Sleep with me for a while."
"You're already injured like this, and you're still thinking about that. You really –"
"It's just sleeping. What are you thinking about?" Li Junsheng couldn't help but laugh. "Besides, didn't you help me solve it just now?"
"You're still talking about it."
"Then I won't say it. It's made of."
Ye Zhen couldn't help but glare at him again. In the end, she couldn't bear to reject him. She followed him to the bed and lay down to rest.
The two of them lay down together. In the end, Ye Zhen couldn't help but fall asleep. When she woke up again, it was already afternoon. Looking at Li Junsheng, who was still sleeping, she got up quietly and quietly walked to the living room outside.
When Li Junsheng woke up, he saw Ye Zhen cooking in the kitchen.
She was wearing an apron, and her shoulder-length black hair was tied into a small braid at the back of her head. The light of dusk shone in from the kitchen. She looked so beautiful that it was a little unreal.
When Ye Zhen took out the dishes, her waist was hugged. She didn't turn around. Instead, she gently patted the back of that hand. "Okay, there's one more dish. We can eat when it's done."
Li Junsheng didn't let go. He buried his face in Ye Zhen's neck. His breath was warm, accompanied by his pleasant and clear voice.
"Zhenzhen, you smell so good."
Ye Zhen's hands paused. "How do I smell good? You smell like oil?"
"My whole body smells good." Li Junsheng hugged Ye Zhen's waist with his uninjured hand. At this moment, his expression looked extremely sincere. "Do you want me to prove it to you?"
Ye Zhen took his hand away and looked at him warily. "No need. Go out. I still have to cook."
"You can cook later." Li Junsheng was addicted to teasing her. He took a step forward and hugged her again. "I'm very hungry now, but I want to eat you more."
"Li Junsheng." That was enough. His hand was already injured. Wasn't he going to stop?
"Yes, this is the first time you've called me by my full name." Li Junsheng looked at her sideways. "I think it would be better if you removed the word 'Li'."
"Mayor Li, Mr. Li, have you had enough?" Ye Zhen gently pushed him. "Do you want me to finish the rest of the dishes?"
"Not enough." Li Junsheng kissed her face. "You only used your hand just now. It doesn't count. You really don't want to consider doing it in the kitchen again? "
"Li Junsheng –"
Li Junsheng smiled and finally decided not to tease her. "Okay. You cook. I'll go out, okay? "
Ye Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. Li Junsheng turned around and left, but at this moment, he deliberately took a step back and blew gently in her ear.
"Sooner or later, I'll give you the kitchen."
"…"
Ye Zhen gritted her teeth as she watched Li Junsheng walk out as if nothing had happened. Was this person really the mayor of a city? How could he be so, so –
The latter adjective was too shameful. Ye Zhen shook her head and forced herself to focus on cooking and not think about anything else.
When Ye Zhen brought the dishes to the table, she found that Li Junsheng was on the phone. He had his back to her and was standing near the balcony.
"Those people can't wait any longer. I don't believe that they won't use this matter to make a fuss."
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. "
"Okay. I'll have to trouble you to help me investigate the matter last time. As for the current matter, don't worry. I can handle it. "
"Don't worry. Although I came a little late, I'm not a pushover that anyone can pinch."
"Okay." Hearing the voice behind him, Li Junsheng hung up the phone.
Ye Zhen didn't hear everything, but her eyes were filled with worry again.
"Uncle Li, will this matter be very troublesome?"
No matter how unfamiliar she was with the officialdom, she knew that this matter was probably very big and not easy to settle.
"Why do you ask?"
"Last time, didn't a lot of officials be punished after the incident in Tianjin City? I'm afraid that you'll also – "
Li Junsheng sat down at the dining table and saw the worry in Ye Zhen's eyes. He couldn't help but laugh. "Why? You're afraid that I'll lose my job. I can't afford to support you? "
Ye Zhen couldn't help but glare at him again. He was already so worried, so how could he joke?
"Yes, I'm afraid that you won't be able to support me if you lose your job."
"That's troublesome." Li Junsheng smiled. "If I really lose my job, I can only rely on you. After all, you're the chairman now. When the time comes, I'll drive and carry your bags for you every day. How about being your assistant? "
"Nothing much." Ye Zhen scooped a bowl of soup and placed it in front of him. "Your salary is too high. I can't afford it."
"Of course others can't afford it, but if it's you. You can devote your life to me. "
Ye Zhen glanced at him. He was still not serious at this time. "Okay. When you lose your job, you, the mayor, will be my assistant. You'll be an assistant during the day and a cowherd at night. How about that? "
Li Junsheng reached out and pulled Ye Zhen's hand to his side. "It's night now, so do you need me to serve you now, Chairman Ye?"
Ye Zhen's face blushed again. She withdrew her hand and admitted defeat. In terms of acting like a hooligan and being thick-skinned, she was definitely no match for him.
She really wanted to ask, "Do your subordinates know that you're such a hooligan?"
However, she didn't have the chance to ask Li Junsheng. Li Junsheng answered a call, and his expression changed.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
"Uncle Li." Ye Zhen understood the meaning behind his words and immediately stood up. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the factory in the west district. There was another explosion there." Li Junsheng's expression was rare. He didn't expect that things would not only not calm down, but the impact would also become worse.
