He added, “If he hadn’t gotten overexcited, I would have been able to save him more easily. But the


    boy was careless.” Before he left, he saw the boy’s mother rush back home. He found out that mom


    snuck out to y mahjong while the boy was asleep. She was so engrossed in the games that she


    forgot about the time. A small mistake can lead to disaster. The mother learned a good Lesson today.


    ir felt her heart still pounding.


    “Is this what you usually do?”


    “No. It’s not what we do. In fact, it’s not even our duty. We’re supposed to leave this to emergency


    teams.” He just happened toe across this. He knew very well the boy would be in more danger if


    they just waited for the rescue team toe. His sense of responsibility drove him to take action at


    once.


    ir sighed inwardly. She knew his job as a soldier was much more dangerous than this.


    She felt sorry for fighting with him earlier that night.


    After they returned to the apartment, Wesley sat down and started texting someone.


    “Take your clothes off,” ir requested.

    He raised his head to look at her, confused.


    “Why?”


    She grabbed the coat from his hand and said naturally, “They’re dirty.

    I’ll throw a load in the wash.”


    “No, thanks. I’ll take care of myundry myself.” He turned down her offer, not wanting to bother her


    with such minor details.


    ir red at Wesley.


    “It’s not like I’m washing it by hand. The washing machine will do it. You’re impossible! Just give me


    your clothes!”


    Being harangued by someone else for the first time, Wesley wanted to retort but her angry look zipped


    his mouth. He turned around and walked to his bedroom.


    As he opened the door, he paused.


    “Let me get a shower first.” He meant to say that he would shower first and bring his dirty clothes to her


    afterwards.


    ir nodded.


    Wesley walked inside the bathroom, and turned on the shower. Steam floated from the water, settling


    on the mirror and fogging it up.


    After a moment, when ir heard nothing from his bedroom, she pushed open the door and found his


    dirty clothes in the hamper. She removed them and Left quickly.


    Despite the sounds of the shower, Wesley could hear ir futzing around outside the bathroom. He


    finished rinsing the soap off and cut the water. The stream terminated quickly, leaving a dripping


    Wesley behind in the tub.


    When he came out, he found that his dirty clothes in the hamper were really gone. He put on his


    pajamas and walked out of his bedroom. The washing machine was going, and it was already on the


    second cycle.


    He was going to knock on ir’s bedroom door but then he heard noise from the kitchen.


    ir was making noodles. Hearing hime in, she turned and told the man, “Wait a minute. Almost


    done.”
