Bathing Karenin was not an easy task.

It's not a technical issue, it's Anna herself. Karenin was indeed a very cooperative patient, and much of his previous pickiness stemmed from the fact that he did it on purpose.

She was relieved when she dried the other person with a towel and put on Karenin's pajamas.

"Tomorrow maybe you can bear with it."

"You won't bathe me?" Karenin asked, not in an angry tone, but seriously.

"Aren't you ashamed?"

Anna finally spoke, in a tone similar to that of a complaint.

"You're not Seryosha."

"I'm not Seryosha, of course, I'm an adult. And I'm still your husband, and honestly, I don't understand why it's a shame for a wife to bathe a husband when it's inconvenient for him. ”

"I'd love to ask you if you're not ashamed, but I know it's going to be refuted by you. Honestly, is it okay to endure not taking a shower tomorrow? Anna spoke quickly, and with some effort on Karenin's buttons.

“…… Good. ”

"I'll have to get you a new bandage." Hearing Karenin's promise, Anna was in a better mood. She didn't want to continue to talk about "shame" with such a stereotypical person. There are some things that she understands by herself, and it is never what she wants to do if she says them.

Karenin sat on the edge of the bed, and Anna pulled a soft chair and sat in front of her.

She was naturally not as tall as Karenin, and when she bent over, her slender back was even more protruding, and Karenin's gaze lingered on her slender neck for a moment, and then she said, "I notice that you seem to be deliberately dieting. ”

"You're wrong." Anna said nonchalantly, while subconsciously blowing on the somewhat hideous wound on Karenin's hand.

"I didn't ......"

The latter words were swallowed by Karenin, and half-loudly, he said: "I am not Seryosha. That means he's not a kid anymore.

Anna gently patted Karenin's knee and said: "I know that Seryosha's words would have preferred a soothing kiss." ”

With that, Anna turned around and put the medicine box on the countertop to tidy up.

Karenin glanced at his rebandaged hand, then at the back.

Now, he has a not-so-real feeling.

"Anna."

"What?"

After receiving the response, although it was not a big deal, Anna did not even look at him, but Karenin felt much more relieved.

In a relationship, people who are brave enough to move forward do not have more confidence than those who hesitate. But there is no doubt that the affirmation they need may only come from a small detail, such as now, Anna would not know that after Karenin subconsciously called her name and she responded, it was an affirmation for Karenin.

Anna put the medicine box away, then turned to look at Karenin, feeling something strange.

"What did you just call me for?"

"Something about dieting." Karenin calmly disguised his mood with the previous topic.

"I don't understand why you care so much about this."

"I just care about your health."

"I'm not over-dieting."

"But you ...... before"

The little panic hidden in the warmth was diluted by these seemingly irrelevant words, and until bedtime came, Karenin did not move his body.

Anna didn't pretend anymore and kicked Karenin out, she simply pulled the quilt away and left half of the place for Karenin.

"I want to sleep, do you want to sleep?"

"Yes, I need to."

Karenin lay down under the covers.

In their circle, husband and wife are not too close, unless they share the same room, and sleeping in the same bed is really rare.

Before that, Karenin was also used to sleeping alone, and even now, to be honest, he also thinks that sleeping alone is more comfortable than sleeping with two.

But maybe people are so contradictory, when the mood changes, when they are honest with each other, even Karenin will feel happy about that difference, and then want more touch. In addition to the body's instinctive dependence on temperature, there is also the intimacy that the soul craves.

Karenin was not afraid of shame, or perhaps his shame was not the same as that of ordinary people. In public, he needs to try to maintain his decency, but in private, like the kind of request that requires intimate contact, he is more honest and calm.

"Anna."

"What?"

In the dark, Anna wasn't really sleepy, or maybe she had been distracted by the sound of another breath.

"If you've noticed your habit of rolling up the quilt, and given that it's still spring, it's not enough to maintain the temperature I need at the moment."

Karenin's words were so calm, and then in the quiet of the night, the quilt rustled.

The warm quilt was over Karenin's body, but the right hand side was still a little empty.

Once again, Karenin said: "I am wounded. ”

"It is said that higher temperatures are needed when you are injured."

Anna was silent for a long time before she moved herself over, and she whispered, "Can I sleep now?" ”

"Good night, Anna."

"Good night, Alexey."

The night, still a little long, but for those who have fallen asleep, it is warm and peaceful.

The next morning, when Karenin awoke, his right hand groped around him before he came to his senses.

There was still residual heat on the bed, proving that his wife had just woken up.

"Click".

The sound of the door lock sounded, and Karenin looked over, it was Seryosha.

He was wearing only pajamas, silk pajama pants, the hem of which was a little long, and the fluffy slippers looked like a teddy bear. That's what a toy that's been popular lately.

"Good morning, father, what do you think?" Seryosha closed the door and walked over.

"Good morning, Seryosha. I think it's good. As well, you should wear your dressing gown if you don't want to catch a heat cold. ”

"I'd like to know if you're okay, father." Seryosha said softly.

Karenin looked at his son's big eyes and the concern that flowed from them, and his heart, wrapped in dogma and logic, couldn't help but soften.

"I'm fine, but as I've always emphasized to you, Seryosha, at all times, paying attention to your own safety and health is my first requirement for you."

"I see, father." Seryosha winced, almost skeptical that his decision had been wrong, but his father's next sentence dispelled his doubts.

"Now come in first."

Karenin motioned for Seryosha to come under the quilt as well, which was almost unthinkable for Seryosha. But he quickly took off his slippers and slipped into the warm quilt.

Karenin looked at his son's still somewhat unkempt curly hair, and his large, shining eyes as he looked up at him, and he thought he might understand why Anna doted on their son so much.

"Can I see your hand?" Seryosha asked.

"It's already bandaged, you can't see it."

"It's okay, father, I just want to see it."

Karenin took out his hand, Seryosha carefully held it, and asked: "Does it hurt?" ”

"It's still tolerable."

After Karenin said this, he noticed that Seryosha's eyelids were a little red.

"Promise me you won't cry, Seryosha."

"Yes, I promise I won't cry." Seryosha sniffed, then he looked at Karenin and said seriously.

"Father, I want to be a soldier."

"Why?"

"Because a military can protect others. I heard Kabidonech say, father, it's not your fault, mom said that there are always some people in this world who will be angry with others because of their mistakes, and only the cowardly will take their incompetence out of others. And reasoning is useless. ”

"I don't want you to use violence as an excuse for protection, Seryosha." Karenin said solemnly.

"I won't, father." Seryosha shook his head.

"But I suppose something like yesterday's, you might have it in the future. My mother said that the human heart is complex, and you have taught me integrity and honesty, which I have always believed in before, and will not change in the future, but this does not prevent me from learning to discern the hearts of others. After all, I have to protect myself before I can protect you and my mother. ”

"Your mother taught you this?"

"Not really. I was a little weird a while ago, my mom was a little different from what she used to be, I mean, she never told me that before. You all only teach me the good side. Mom said she didn't know if it was right, but she said I would grow up, and she trusted me to have my own judgment," Seryosha paused at this point, and continued a little shy and proud, "Mom said, because I am your son!" ”

Karenin did nothing rude to Seryosha's declaration, if this was Sskiva, he would have given his son a big hug and kiss, but Karenin's feelings were so restrained, all he could do was gently squeeze the little boy's shoulder.

"If that's what you want to do, then my advice is to remain tolerant of the world and be an upright person, but don't lay down your arms when facing the enemy."

"Yes!"

Having received his father's approval, Seryosha was so happy.

During this day, he confirmed two things, one thing, as his mother always told him, that his father loved him. Another thing is that in the future, he is going to be a soldier and protect all the people he wants to protect. 166 Reading Network
