The day was not late, and after seeing off Ning Ge and Ying Xiaoya, only Cheng Su and her husband remained in the hospital room.
Qi Taiguo personally took a thermos to fetch hot water, scalded the basin he brought with boiling water several times, and then poured the hot water in, even adding some ginger to it, as he attended to washing Cheng Su's feet.
Cheng Su's nose felt a bit sour; it was rare to see such a thoughtful side of him, yet it was under these circumstances, which was truly heart-wrenching.
"What's wrong? Is the water too hot?" Qi Taiguo heard her sniffle and quickly asked, reaching into the water to test its temperature. It was a bit hot, but he said, "The hotter the better, to drive away the cold."
Cheng Su wiped the corner of her eye and asked, "How did you know to use ginger?"
