Guard Niu rushed over to where Zhang Mi was, alarmed at the state she was in, the chilling look in those dark eyes caused the other inmates to retreat in fear. Crouching until she was at the same height as the Zhang heiress, Guard Niu reached out to wipe traces of blood staining the lips of Zhang Mi, tenderly tucking the stray strands of hair that had fallen over the corner of her face, that s.h.i.+elded that part of her sight.Without any warning whatsoever, she picked up the Zhang heiress, placing her with great care across her chest, before instructing the rest of them in the cell to clean up the b.l.o.o.d.y mess from the floor. Making no reference whatsoever regarding how she would be handling the a.s.sailants of the Zhang heiress, Guard Niu turned around, leaving the holding cell for her personal office which was a couple of feet from where they were.
No sooner had they left the cell, Zhang Mi began to struggle against the hold that Guard Niu had on her, irritated by her action the guard was left with no choice, but to restrain her further by squeezing her tightly from where she was placed.
Glaring at the guard with defiance, the Zhang heiress kept trying to break free, but the more she tried, the harder it became for her to break loose, the guard"s patience was beginning to wear thin.
Speaking through gritted teeth, Guard Niu barked at the Zhang heiress to remain docile or face the consequences of her action. The look on the other woman"s face was enough to subdue Zhang Mi.
Guard Niu had a trim figure whose height was above average, to some her looks could be considered hoyden, with bits of attractiveness thrown in between. Her fair complexion had the touch of one who took great care of her skin, despite the harsh living conditions of the prison. Having her hair pulled back didn"t deter her looks.
With slightly callused hands, Guard Niu held on to Zhang Mi all the way to the office, freeing one of her hands to open the metal handle by the door for them to go through, before slamming the door shut with the back of her foot.
A light green linen covered cot lay by the corner of the room, this was where Guard Niu slept whenever it was her turn to be the overnight guard. Gently laying the Zhang heiress down on it, before turning around to pull out the first aid box from the cabinet by the wall close to the door.
The office had a simple wooden desk and chair of brown, there were no windows, an air conditioning unit ran in the background, with stack of doc.u.ments and books lining the wall shelf by the desk. The room was painted in pale green, close to the cot was a single ceramic sink with a faucet by the wall.
Returning back with the first aid box, setting it to the side, without telling the Zhang heiress what she was about to do, Guard Niu lifted her up by draping her arm across her shoulder, as the two walked to where the sink was, with the other hand the guard turned on the faucet and told Zhang Mi to rinse her mouth out.
The Zhang heiress, although annoyed by the suggestion, she chose to do as asked, cupping the water with the palm of her hand to pour it in her mouth before spitting out crimson colored water, after repeating the motion for some time. Guard Niu finally turned off the faucet, to carry Zhang Mi back to the cot. Taking the plastic lid from the first aid box, she took out a few cotton swabs and dipped them in a small bottle of peroxide. Placing them one at a time on the box, Guard Niu turned to face Zhang Mi, clenching both cheeks to force her mouth open with one hand and with the other hand to apply the peroxide to her bruised cavity.
Zhang Mi kept wincing in pain, despite how gentle Guard Niu was in moving the cotton wool covered plastic stick around, dark brown liquid dripped from the contact, spreading all the way to the back of her pink gums, with some spilling from her mouth.
A few minutes later, the guard finished up by wiping the lips of the Zhang heiress with one of the flimsy white gauze, staining it a deep brown. Zhang Mi had to look away from embarra.s.sment, her pale face flushed a bright pink. Suddenly, the Zhang heiress felt herself being pulled forward by the hand, as landed with her chest against the side of the other woman, who ran her fingertips across the spine of the Zhang heiress. Scared by what just took place, Zhang Mi stiffened in the arms of Guard Niu, it took a while before she could finally relax in the other woman"s arms.
In a repeated fas.h.i.+on, the soothing movement continued, until the guard felt the breathing of the Zhang heiress had change to one that was very light with steady heartbeats. This was when she knew that Zhang Mi had already fallen asleep. Gently placing her on the cot with her head on the soft pillow, followed by the rest of her body. Unable to resist the urge within her, Guard Niu bent once again to lightly brush her lips on the inviting pink lips of the Zhang heiress, as she sat by the cot, watching the chest of Zhang Mi rise and fall in peaceful sleep.
