Chapter 26 Timely Rain Yeji
When Jung Do-hoon returned to Korea, he originally planned to rent a one-bedroom apartment in Jongno-gu. However, his parents felt that since both he and his sister lived in Seoul, it would be better to rent a larger apartment, which would also make it easier for Ya-hsien to stay at his place occasionally.
While strengthening the bond between the siblings is one aspect, the most important thing is that the couple wants their daughter to have a good place to rest on weekends.
But who knew that after Ya Xian stayed for one night, she refused to leave.
But looking back now, it's clear that Mr. and Mrs. Zheng were very thoughtful.
Now that Ya-Hsien has injured her foot and needs him to take care of her, if Zheng Dao-Xun only rents a small room, he will have to give up his own room and sleep on the sofa in the living room.
But... after all, men and women are different.
If it were about taking care of his girlfriend, there wouldn't be any situations that Zheng Daoxun would need to avoid, but Ya Xian is, after all, his sister.
Zheng Daoxun filled two basins with hot water for Ya Xian and took a dry towel into her room: "Just wash yourself up simply today. I'll buy a bath tub tomorrow so you can soak in it more easily."
Shower rooms are the most vulnerable places for people with foot injuries to suffer secondary injuries. The damp tiles, combined with foam, make it easy to slip and fall.
"I understand..." Ya Xian pouted slightly. Seeing Zheng Daoxun leave the room and close the door, she tried to get up and walk towards the wardrobe with her cane.
She had only taken a few steps when she stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she wasn't far from the bed, and Ya Xian sat down on it with a thud.
"Oppa! Come in... do me a favor."
A few seconds later, Zheng Daoxun pushed the door open again: "What's wrong?"
"Go to the closet and get me some clean clothes to change into..."
Underwear.
Zheng Daoxun understood, shrugged, and under Ya Xian's guidance, opened a drawer in the wardrobe, quickly took out what she needed, threw it on the bed, and then quickly left, closing the door behind him. He said through the door, "I'll be right at the door. If you need any help, just let me know."
"knew……"
"Is everything going smoothly?" Jung Do-hoon couldn't hear any movement from the room, so he knocked on the door, feeling a little uneasy.
His response was a somewhat helpless complaint from Ya Xian: "Not going too well."
"Then wait for me a moment, I'll think of a way."
Jung Do-hoon leaned against the door, thinking it over and over, and finally decided to send a message to Hwang Ye-ji.
When Jung Do-hoon moved here before, Hwang Ye-ji came to celebrate. The sofa in his living room was a gift from her.
Jung Do-hoon knew her when she was still a nobody. At the time, Jung Do-hoon, who was a high school student, went to a university in Jeonju to participate in a math competition. He met her on his way back. Since they both frequently traveled between their hometowns and Seoul, the two quickly hit it off.
【Li Zhi, are you free right now? I have something to ask you about Ya Xian.】
You only realize how little you have when you need it most.
Although there were female employees in Jung Do-hoon's department, this was a private matter, and it wouldn't be appropriate to ask her for help.
Jung Do-hoon had only been back in Seoul for a month or so, and he had very few female friends.
Huang Lizhi called very soon:
"Oppa, what's wrong with Ya-Hsien?"
"Ya Xian injured her foot, making it difficult for her to move around. Since I'm a guy, would it be convenient for you to come to my house? If not, I'll think of another way..."
"I'm coming over now."
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Daoxun told Yaxian about his arrangements through the door. Although his younger sister was somewhat resistant and perhaps a little embarrassed, she eventually mumbled an "Mmm" in agreement.
If Ya-Hsien were a boy, or if Zheng Dao-Xun were a girl, they wouldn't need to go to such great lengths; they could simply help in any way they needed to.
But the situation is special after all...
Moreover, as a senior artist who has already debuted, Huang Lizhi must have his own experience with injuries during practice, and he might be able to give Ya Xian some advice.
About half an hour later, the doorbell rang.
Hwang Ye-ji wore a gray shirt with a white short-sleeved shirt underneath and jeans. Without makeup, she actually looked like a very gentle girl, not as glamorous as she does on stage.
She must have come from the dormitory.
Zheng Daoxun opened the door and stepped aside to make room for him: "I'm so sorry to have troubled you to come over so late at the last minute."
"It's nothing, friends help each other out." Huang Lizhi actually quite enjoys the feeling of being needed.
If someone encounters trouble and their first thought is to seek help from her, it means that they are a relatively close person in that person's social network.
After all, if you're also struggling alone in Seoul, who wouldn't want some friends who can really help you out when you need something?
"Ya-Hsien is in her room." Jung Do-hoon pointed to his sister's room and added, "Ya-Hsien just injured her foot and can't wash up easily, so I'll have to trouble you to help her."
"Understood~" Huang Lizhi readily agreed, changed into slippers, rolled up his sleeves, knocked on Ya Xian's door, said "It's me," and then went in.
Why can Jung Do-hoon and Hwang Ye-ji get along so well? Perhaps it's because they are both straightforward and decisive, yet have a strong sense of boundaries, and never procrastinate in their work.
Zheng Daoxun had no idea what had happened in Ya Xian's room. He simply followed Huang Lizhi's instructions, fetched two basins of hot water and placed them at the door, then sat in the living room to wait.
And the feeling of having someone help me wash my body in the room... was truly strange. Even though the person was a girl.
"I can do this myself!"
Ya-Hsien caught the hot towel that Huang Li-Chih had wrung out, her face flushed.
After Huang Lizhi turned his back tactfully, Ya Xian lifted her sports vest and quickly wiped herself with a hot towel.
Whenever she made rustling noises, Huang Lizhi couldn't help but turn around to check what was going on—
If it were an injury to the arm or back, it wouldn't affect mobility so much. But it's the ankle, so I can't stand or sit properly.
"How's the progress?" Huang Lizhi sighed silently when he heard no sound from behind him for a long time.
We're all girls, is it necessary to be so formal? They say you shouldn't shy away from seeing a doctor when you're sick, and Ya-Hsien's situation is similar now.
"There's only... a tiny bit left to wash." Ya Xian's voice was barely audible, barely audible, as if it were stuck in her throat.
"Let me help you, it'll be quick." Huang Lizhi looked at Ya Xian's sweatpants, which were halfway down.
"No, no, no, I'll do it myself."
Are you sure you can do it?
After what seemed like an eternity, Jung Do-hoon was almost asleep on the sofa when Hwang Ye-ji finally emerged from Ya-hsien's room, his head covered in sweat.
"How is Ya-hsien?" Zheng Dao-xun got up and went to his sister's room.
"I'm already in bed." Huang Lizhi took the tissue he was offered, wiped her sweat, and breathed heavily. "Girls are naturally shy, it's normal. But... what will you do after this? I can't come to help you every day."
"I'll find a caregiver tomorrow."
Zheng Daoxun knocked on the door, and after receiving Ya Xian's permission, he pushed it open and peeked through the crack.
Just as Huang Lizhi had said, Ya Xian was already lying in bed, turned to her side, pouting as she scrolled through her phone, a blush still lingering on her cheeks.
"Just bear with it for a little while. Once your foot feels a bit better in a few days, it shouldn't be so troublesome anymore."
"Okay..." Ya Xian buried her head in the blanket, her voice becoming muffled, "I'm sleepy, I want to go to sleep."
Zheng Daoxun smiled helplessly. Everyone gets sick and needs someone to take care of them sometimes. It's just that she's still a young girl and isn't used to being taken care of personally.
His gaze met Huang Lizhi's, who shrugged and smiled, his eyes crinkling: "I know some medicines that are very good for foot injuries. Shall I take you to buy them?"
"Okay, have you eaten?"
"I haven't eaten yet."
"Perfect timing, I'd like to treat you to a meal." Zheng Daoxun turned around again and knocked on the door. "Yaxian, would you like me to bring you some food?"
"No need! You two go eat." Ya Xian's little head peeked out from under the covers, and when she looked at the door again, it was already closed.
The two people left, chatting and laughing.
