The Greatest Man Alive

It was a memorable New Year’s Eve for Wendy. Although the gift was only a box of tens of dollars of fireworks, it was very precious. At least someone cared about her.

But it was not a beautiful day for Gussie. She was beaten hard every day and even had a fever. After taking ibuprofen, she fell into a deep sleep under the covers. In the middle of the night, she broke out in a sweat and shivered from the cold.

”I’m so cold!” Gussie said shiveringly and touched Nathan.

”Are you that cold? Not a big problem. You’ve already sweated and will be fine tomorrow…” said Nathan, “Take off your clothes so as not to get cold again.”

Gussie hesitated and said, ”Now?”

Nathan said, “Of course.”

Gussie thought he hadn’t crossed the line for the past few days when they were on the same bed. So she took off her clothes under the quilt and carefully stretched out an arm to put it on the bedside.

After taking off the clothes covered in sweat, she felt much more comfortable. But she was still cold, and her body was covered with goosebumps.

Nathan touched her arm and hugged her whole body.

Gussie tensed up immediately, like a bowstring. She dared not move and almost stopped breathing.

“It’ll make you feel warm. Don’t touch me,” Nathan turned that around.

Gussie was speechless but felt he was as warm as a stove. Their skin was touching, and the heat was transmitted, gradually warming her whole body. She felt embarrassed and turned around silently.

“Why does it feel a bit like being at the newsstand when it was raining heavily that day?” Nathan couldn’t help laughing and gently blew warm air into Gussie’s ear.

Gussie’s ears immediately turned red, and her whole face flushed. She trembled and dared not speak for fear that Nathan would make the next move.
