Let's Get Married

Lily can feel his breath on her neck. She can’t help but shrink. Looking at the almost overlapping bodies in the mirror, she says in a low voice, “You move aside a little bit.”

Rex doesn’t seem to have heard it. His long arms reach over her back and under the tap, as if he is holding her from behind. He wets his hands, applies hand sanitizer, and then takes her hands to rub them.

They can feel the slippery palms as well as each other’s body temperature. He composedly helps her wash every inch of her hands, and sighs, “Why are your hands so soft and small?”

He can easily takes her whole hands in his.

Lily looks at Rex in the mirror with his head down. The light above his head casts on him and his eyelashes cast shadows on his eyelids, making his eyes sockets deeper and weakening his harshness.

“I can wash it myself.” She says softly.

Rex ignores her and turns on the switch. He washes their hands under the warm running water until they are clean. He pulls the towel aside and wipes her hands. Then he catches her shy eyes and says, “Since you have taken care of me for so many days, let me serve you once.”

His low and deep voice makes her lose her head.

Lily looks at her clean hands and feels so sweet. “You know I’ve had a hard time these days.”

He seldom talks at other times. During his stay in the hospital, he is examined or reexamined every day. It turns out that he isn’t unaware of her goodness but keeps it in his mind.

“You’re so skinny now. How can I not know?” She is already thin, but now she is even thinner. He can’t do anything about it, so he can only get well quickly.

He is more concerned with deeds than words, so it is better to do more rehabilitation training than to enquire about her well-being.
