Chapter 63: Chapter 62 Dr. Gao’s Meticulous Care

The next day, as the light of dawn brightened, the first glimmers of morning appeared.

Everything from last night seemed like an unreachable dream. Jiang An climbed out of bed, pulled the lake blue curtains aside, and gentle rays of sunlight poured in, illuminating the girl’s dark pupils.

Gao Chuan, who also went to bed late last night, uncharacteristically got up at eight o’clock. Still a bit grouchy from waking, his hair messy, he walked with a solemn face to the bathroom only to find the girl already standing by the sink, wearing pink home attire. Because of her injury, she was trying to squeeze toothpaste onto her toothbrush with one hand, a task she hadn’t completed when a hand reached from behind and took the toothpaste from her. Jiang An turned around puzzled, just in time to see the man pick up the toothbrush from the sink and, without a word, squeezed a dab of toothpaste onto it. The tall man silently stood behind her and, having finished, handed it to her.

In the somewhat cramped bathroom space, Jiang An sensed the closing distance between them and obediently took the toothbrush, saying, "Thank you."

The sleepy-eyed man then positioned himself beside Jiang An, lazily turning toward the mirror. His gaze accidentally met that of Jiang An, who was brushing her teeth, and caught her sneaking peeks at him before she quickly lowered her eyes and brushed earnestly.

The man’s lips curved slightly, and he casually fixed his messy hair, his voice hoarse from just waking up, "Brush longer to remove the plaque and bacteria from your teeth."

Hearing the man’s quiet reminder, Jiang An’s movements abruptly paused, and her face flushed considerably as she nodded her head vigorously, her mouth full of foam embarrassingly.

Therefore, Little Jiang An had no choice but to stand next to Dr. Gao, brushing diligently for a full three minutes. She watched in the mirror as the two of them brushed their teeth in unison, feeling her mouth grow sore from her own efforts while Dr. Gao seemed to brush with leisure and comfort.

Subsequently, the girl came to a conclusion that even Dr. Gao’s tooth-brushing was "elegant."

Unavoidable arm motions while standing close caused them to brush against each other. Startled as if shocked, the girl quickly stepped to the side. Her flustered movement was evident to Gao Chuan, who calmly stood still without a twitch.

Several tense minutes later, Jiang An finally dared to rinse her mouth. Washing her face then became another challenge. She hadn’t trimmed her hair since summer and now, without realizing it, her hair had reached her waist. The girl stretched out her hand to gather the hair beside her face so it would not get wet during face-washing, but upon bending over, her dark hair disobediently fell forward.

The girl tried to hurriedly tie her hair with a hair tie using one hand, the effort awkwardly executed, when she noticed the man, who had finished brushing his teeth, was already focused on her.

Jiang An coincidentally turned her face and their eyes met. Gao Chuan, noticing her helplessness, naturally extended his hand to assist, "Let me help you tie it up."

Thinking about how long it would take to tie up her hair with her "disabled body," she reluctantly agreed with a blush and meekly handed the hair tie to the man beside her, standing up straight and watching the mirror with eyes like stars.

Taking the small hair tie from Jiang, the much taller man first gathered all of Jiang’s hair at the back of her head. Gao Chuan, who had never tied a girl’s hair in nearly thirty years, ran his fingers through her soft hair, leaving a faint scent on his fingertips.

After all, it was his first time, so he was inevitably nervous. His clumsy movements reflected in the mirror, and Jiang An noticed how hurried he was, "Just tie it simply, so it doesn’t fall off while washing my face."

Hearing Jiang An lower her expectations for him, Gao Chuan responded with a calm "Hmm," and with one hand grasped her hair. He then used the hair tie, following Jiang An’s instructions to loop it around twice before considering it done.

Jiang An had been staring at the man’s particularly serious expression in the mirror, her mouth corners unconsciously tilting upwards slightly.

"Done," Gao Chuan said, lowering his head to gaze at his "masterpiece." He was barely satisfied in his heart and watched as the girl reached back with her hand, raised her eyes, and said "thank you" again.

The girl began to bend down to wash her face, thinking to herself that she was not useless and hence shouldn’t bother Dr. Gao even to wash her face, trying to keep her movements as graceful as possible. Since there was only one sink and the man was still waiting beside her, he took in every frown and smile of the girl, his gaze tender and warm.

Gradually, he himself did not realize that his eyes could no longer leave Jiang An.

Her voice, her smile, her movements, everything about her was attracting him.

Under Dr. Gao’s gaze, Jiang An slowly finished washing her face, realized Dr. Gao was silently standing by her side staring at her, hurriedly dried her face to make room, and said, "I’ll go prepare breakfast," then left the washroom.

When Gao Chuan finished washing his face and came out of the washroom, he found that Jiang An was already busy in the kitchen. The girl was frying eggs with one hand, and the sight of her back in a pink HelloKitty apron entered the man’s vision, seemingly stirring something in his heart.

He had never longed for marriage before and hence had never fantasized what life would be like after marriage. Being a single man, he even thought that the combination of two different individuals would surely be a very bad situation, but the scene before him was so beautiful that he wanted to stop the flow of time.

He didn’t know if it was because he had been living alone for a long time and seldom entered the kitchen, or because the person standing there was Jiang An.

Just like these recent days, what made him so flustered was whether it was because of the marriage or because he married Jiang An.

The man silently approached and asked if there was anything he could help with. Jiang An remembered Song Li telling her last time that the only shortcoming of Dr. Gao was that he couldn’t cook, so she smiled and stopped the man who wanted to help, instructing him to just wait at the dining table.

In less than five minutes, Jiang An successfully brought a plate of beautiful fried eggs and two cups of warm milk to the table. They sat opposite each other, and as Jiang An just sat down, she noticed a small tuft of hair standing up on Gao Chuan’s neatly combed hair. Without a second thought, she got up, reaching out to smooth it down for the man.

Gao Chuan was about to pick up the utensils to taste her breakfast when, caught off guard, he noticed that Jiang An’s hand had touched his hair. His pupils dilated, but he did not reach out to stop her.

Jiang An realized what she was doing only when her hand was already in mid-air. However, the young lady figured that retracting her hand now would make things more awkward. So she targeted the tuft on Dr. Gao’s head and quickly pressed it down while explaining, "Here, a piece of hair was sticking up."

Hearing the girl say that, Gao Chuan cooperatively lowered his head a bit. After Jiang An withdrew her hand, he sat up straight again, picked up the utensils, and tasted the fried egg the girl made, which seemed pretty good.

When he looked up at Jiang An again, Little Ostrich seemed ready to bury her head under the table.
