Chapter 599: Half-Asleep and Half-Awake
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
The three girls washed Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s body, except for his privates. Not even Xiang Xuehai had the courage to clean it. Fortunately, his privates were soaked in the bathtub’s water, so they were pretty much cleaner than before.
Since they were almost done, Ran Xiyu left the bathroom quickly. On the other hand, Xiang Xuehai remained as she wanted to observe Xiang Xuehai’s actions.
After the two girls placed Jiang Lius.h.i.+ back to his bed, Ran Xiyu entered the bedroom and said in a low voice, “Ying just told me that 18 mutant nuclei are Brother Jiang’s limit a day. We will give Brother Jiang more mutant nuclei to absorb every two or three days.”
“Uh, should we help Brother Jiang to take a bath every time?” asked Li Yuxin.
“Yes, you are right,” replied Ran Xiyu in embarra.s.sment.
Xiang Xuehai was quite happy after hearing the news.
Then, Li Yuxin added, “We should divide the workload. Next time, Sister Xiang and I will wash him. After that, it’s Xiyu and I’s turn.”
“Really? You plan to help Brother Jiang every single time?” Xiang Xuehai was stunned after listening to Li Yuxin’s arrangement.
“Of course. I’m Brother Jiang’s full-time nurse. I’m responsible for his well-being, and I have to check for any abnormalities with his body. Naturally, I should be present every time,” replied Li Yuxin.
Naturally, Li Yuxin could not let Xiang Xuehai wash Jiang Lius.h.i.+ on her own. As for Ran Xiyu, she was too shy, so Li Yuxin had to help her.
A few days pa.s.sed…
Ying had brought several mutant nuclei for Jiang Lius.h.i.+ to absorb every 60 hours. Except for the 8 nuclei they had given him the first time, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had been absorbing about 12 nuclei. After every absorption, Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s body released impurities, so the girls had to help him take a bath.
As time went on, fewer and fewer impurities were being released, while Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s skin was reaching perfection; it was as delicate and smooth as a baby. At the same time, his muscular lines were becoming more refined and less bulky, almost as if they had been carved. As a result, whenever they washed Jiang Lius.h.i.+, even Ran Xiyu could not help stealing glances at Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s body. She felt that Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s skin was more perfect than a girl.
“It seems that Brother Jiang has become taller,” said Li Yuxin suddenly.
She had not paid attention before, but today after looking at Jiang Lius.h.i.+ carefully, Li Yuxin noticed that he had grown a few centimeters, which made him look more upright.
To sum up, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had become more handsome than before, and his countenance had changed. Even the aura he exuded, although he was in a comatose state, was different.
Li Yuxin’s heart began to beat faster and faster every time she looked at the nearly perfect Jiang Lius.h.i.+. She realized that more and more girls would be captivated by Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s charm in the future, which would naturally increase her compet.i.tion. Thinking about this, Li Yuxin began to worry about personal gains and losses.
“Yuxin, why aren’t you was.h.i.+ng?” asked Ran Xiyu.
“Oh, sorry.” Li Yuxin was stunned for a moment, and then she continued to wipe Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s body.
She carefully wiped every inch of Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s skin, as if it was a piece of fine art, until to the private part of Jiang Lius.h.i.+. But this time, Li Yuxin didn’t stop. She gritted her teeth and proceeded boldly. After all, if they kept not was.h.i.+ng it, many germs would start breeding.
Upon seeing that, Ran Xiyu puckered her lips, thinking that Li Yuxin was a bold girl. Meanwhile, she also wondered how touching it felt. As she was lost in her fantasies and conjectures, Ran Xiyu caught a glimpse of something that made her face turn red in an instant. She noticed that Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s previously docile p.e.n.i.s was now standing erect…
“Eh? Can there still be a physiological response in a comatose state?” Li Yuxin was also shocked.
Normally, people who had been in a comatose state for many days were already in a deep sleep. Such people would not respond to external stimuli unless they had a vague perception of the outside situation.
Holding her breath, Li Yuxin looked up at Jiang Lius.h.i.+. She clearly saw that Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s eyelashes shook a few times, and then… He slowly opened his eyes!
“Ah!” Li Yuxin subconsciously screamed. The red tide on her face directly spread over her neck, almost to the chest. She had been wis.h.i.+ng for Jiang Lius.h.i.+ to wake up day and night, but she didn’t expect that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ would wake up at this time.
Originally, Li Yuxin was doing an extremely exciting and stimulating thing. However, she felt really embarra.s.sed now.
‘What will Jiang Lius.h.i.+ think?’ Li Yuxin’s mind had gone blank. She could hardly wait to dig a hole and hide inside it.
Ran Xiy was also dumbfounded. How should they get along with each other in the future?
As Jiang Lius.h.i.+ open his eyes suddenly, it was hard for him to bear the stimulation of strong light. He could just barely see the scene around him. He saw himself lying in the bathtub, with Ran Xiyu and Li Yuxin beside. They were both holding towels in their hands as if they were was.h.i.+ng him. Looking at their expressions, they seemed to be shocked, embarra.s.sed and confused. Jiang Lius.h.i.+ remembered Li Yuxin screaming, but he didn’t know the reason. He just felt that sound was far away from him, so he couldn’t even tell if it was a real scene or not.
‘Is this a dream? How sweet the dream is!’
During the past few days, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had been battling against the Sprite Queen over his body’s control. Currently, it was like a movie made of various and complex memories was playing his mind. It was hard for him to distinguish fiction from reality.
There were scenes of fighting against zombies. There were also many sweet memories about his childhood. He dreamed that he had taken Jiang Zhuying to an amus.e.m.e.nt park. He dreamed that his deskmate, Li Yuxin, was asking him a math question…
At some point, all the good memories suddenly crumbled and crashed, and his memories of driving his new MCV to Jinling, and what happened after, came back, but they were soon replaced by nightmares. He then dreamed of being hunted and defeated. After that, his pursuers ripped Sta.r.s.eed out his mind, and he lost his powers. And the only thing he could do was wait for death in the cold and hunger…
During the process, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ could realize that he was sometimes dreaming, but soon he would be pushed to a new dream. The new dream seemed realistic for Jiang Lius.h.i.+ who was in a confused state, so even he could not whether he was still dreaming or had regained consciousness.
When he noticed that Ran Xiyu and Li Yuxin were was.h.i.+ng him, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ thought he was still in his dream. After all, it was impossible for something like that to happen in reality. How could the two shy girls do such a bold thing?
Thinking about this scene, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ started mocking himself. He, after all, was a normal young boy. After spending time with so many beautiful girls on a daily basis, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had unavoidably developed some thoughts and feelings. However, as the girls were very close to him, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ did not know which one he truly loved.
Although he knew that n.o.body would say anything no matter whom he chose, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ always kept a perfect relations.h.i.+p with all the girls. Day after day, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ felt that he was almost suppressed out of illness.
He shook his head slightly and closed his eyes again. Although he had woken up, he was still very tired and not conscious.
Seeing Jiang Lius.h.i.+ close his eyes again, Li Yuxin didn’t know what to do next. She thought, ‘Maybe… it’s a case of sleepwalking in a comatose state? Maybe he’s not even aware of what’s going on?’ At that, she quickly wrung her towel.
After that, she tried to help Jiang Lius.h.i.+ put on his clothes as soon as possible to destroy the scene. It was the only way for them to hide it from Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
“Brother Jiang?” Li Yuxin asked, testing.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ did not respond.
After confirming, Li Yuxin wiped the sweat on his face. Actually, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ could feel, but he failed to open his eyes.
‘Is it a dream? Or reality?’ Jiang Lius.h.i.+ struggled to judge. He tried his best to open his eyes, but he could only open a little gap. Looking through the gap, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ could see Li Yuxin wiping his body. She was wearing a white blouse, stopping as she rubbed his body, and her collar hung low as she did, so he could also see a deep and fascinating ravine. In fact, Li Yuxin’s stature was indeed perfect.
When they were back in high school, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ sometimes couldn’t help turning over to look at her, appreciating her youthful vigor in her uniform, as well as her bright smile.
Also, once, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had fantasized of what would happen if he got together with Li Yuxin. However, Li Yuxin’s family background was too good. Both of her grandparents were academicians while her father was a successful businessman.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s parents had died early. Thus, the distance between the two families was too large. As a result, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had killed all his ridiculous thoughts. But just at this moment, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ felt that Li Yuxin was just in front of him. It was so close! Jiang Lius.h.i.+ felt as if he could catch Li Yuxin easily at any time he liked. At that, he couldn’t help but touch Li Yuxin’s face. He thought it didn’t matter because it was just a dream!
However, that was just what Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was thinking in his confused state. Li Yuxin was totally shocked this time. She never expected that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ would touch her face. She could feel clearly that Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s hands were warm and set. She felt very comfortable as if her face was being healed by magic power.
“Brother Jiang…” Li Yuxin held her breath.
In the bathroom, such an ambiguous environment, she looked at Jiang Lius.h.i.+ while Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was also staring at her eyes and touching her cheek.
What would happen next?
Li Yuxin didn’t know, but she looked forward to feeling more. Of course, she was also quite nervous.
At that moment, Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s eyes began to scan Li Yuxin. Because they were in the bathroom, Li Yuxin’s white s.h.i.+rt was inevitably stained with water so Jiang Lius.h.i.+ could see part of her body through the cloth directly.
Back in high school, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had already dreamed of Li Yuxin’s body. It may be a natural thought during that age.
Then, Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s hands moved downward from Li Yuxin’s cheek to her neck, then her b.r.e.a.s.t.s…
‘Anyway, it’s just a dream…’ thought Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
Thus, he carefully felt the smoothness of Li Yuxin’s bosom, which was very real…
