Ning Ran had a dream that night. She dreamt that she was looking for something with her mother.

She had no idea what they were looking for, only that she was very anxious.

It felt as though they would be in big trouble if they failed to find the unknown item, not that she knew what trouble was in store.

Dreams were never known to be logical anyway. Ning Ran soon jolted awake from sheer anxiety.

She immediately saw Nan Chen's handsome face. He stared intently at her and asked, “Did you have a nightmare during the day? What was the dream about?”

“I felt as though I was looking for something, but I have no idea what,” Ning Ran explained while exhaling slowly.

Nan Chen replied, “Well, my body feels itchy, so I'm taking a shower.”

“Guo Si only brought us medicine and towels. There's no soap or shampoo. How are you going to shower?” she asked.

“There's a bar of soap there for washing clothes.”

“That's not for bathing. It'll harm your skin.”

Nonetheless, he insisted, “Well, we can't go days without showering. I'm sure it'll be fine if we use more water to rinse ourselves off.”

“Don't use the bar soap, then. Just shower with clean water and scrub a little harder; that should work. There's a wooden bucket over there with water in it,” suggested Ning Ran.

Nan Chen nodded and replied, “Thanks in advance, then.”

Ning Ran felt a sense of foreboding as she asked, “Why are you thanking me in advance when you're the one showering?”

“My leg's injured now. I can't move around easily. How can I bathe without your help?” retorted Nan Chen.

“But... erm...”

He added, “Might I remind you that we actually have children together? What's wrong with helping me to take a shower? I can always return the favor.”
