The night before, after their affair, Wen Yi wanted to take a bath. As she was clambering over his body, her legs gave way and she fell back onto him. He was smoking at the time, and after looking down at her for a while, he stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and then directly carried her to the bathroom.
After the bath, he insisted on using a towel to dry her body. Finally, they went back to the bedroom. He looked around for her nightgown but couldn't find it, lost his patience, and simply took one of his own shirts, heading back to the bathroom to wrap it around her.
She didn't want to at first, but she had no strength then, so she just let him be.
