Cen Zhengnian felt that he had been bewitched, and all of his self-discipline seemed to collapse at that moment. It turned out he was just an ordinary person.

He cleared his throat and shifted his gaze, landing on Chu Xia's lips.

Because of the cold, her lips are a bit pale. The thoughts that had just arisen turned into heartache at that moment. He busily brings the hanging towel over and wipes the rainwater from her hair.

Chu Xia is so cold that her body is shivering. She gritted her teeth and said, "I need to wipe myself down with hot water and change clothes."

Just then, Cen Huai'an comes out of the inner room.

When Cen Zhengnian saw the rain, he was the first one to pick him up from school and then went to pick up Chu Xia.

There is only one umbrella in the house, so he can only do this.

Because he was in a hurry, the clothes on his body were basically wet.

However, his physical condition is better than Chu Xia's, and men naturally have a higher body temperature. He didn't feel too cold.

There is no bathroom, but there is hot water on the coal stove. Cen Zhengnian didn't let Chu Xia go out again. He prepared a basin of hot water in the inner room and pulled Cen Huai'an out.

Cen Huai'an and Chu Xia's relationship is very deep. He can see that his mother's face is not right. He looked up and asked Cen Zhengnian, "Is Mom sick?"

"It's fine." Cen Zhengnian touched his head and said, "Your mother got wet in the rain. She is not feeling well; don't bother her."

The sound of water splashing inside the inner room echoed again and again. Cen Zhengnian struggled to keep himself from thinking about what was happening inside.

However, it was obvious that human thoughts could not be completely controlled, so his ears were red and hot.

In order to prevent himself from thinking wildly, Cen Zhengnian was also busy mixing a basin of hot water, taking off his wet clothes outside, slightly scrubbing down his body, and changing into dry clothes.

Cen Huai'an sat there with a small frown on his face.

This is the look he sees when Chu Xia comes out.

"Mom." When Cen Huai'an saw her, he immediately stood up from the stool and ran to her with a "thump, thump, thump", hugged her waist, and asked her with his little face up, "Mommy, are you alright?"

Chu Xia hadn't spoken yet when Cen Zhengnian approached, placing his big hand on her forehead. Warmth emanated from his palm, and she stared blankly at his actions.

"You're a bit cold, and you're not wearing enough."

Cen Zhengnian's hand left Chu Xia's forehead, and he held her hand, which was equally cold and made her furrowed her brows. Without hesitation, he pulled Chu Xia inside, saying, "Sit on the bed to warm up, and I'll make dinner today. An'an, you stay here and watch your mom."

"Good!" Cen Huai'an immediately moves over a bench and puts it in front of the bed.

Chu Xia looks at Cen Zhengnian a bit in doubt and asks, "Can you cook?"

He hasn't even qualified for grocery shopping yet, so it's obvious that he's not skilled in this cooking thing.

However, Cen Zhengnian picked her up, placed her on the bed, and squatted down to take off her shoes.

His movements were smooth and graceful. Surprisingly, he was anything but clumsy in his actions. When he set her down, he did it with care. Chu Xia was taken aback; it happened so suddenly.
