Jervis stood aside, smoking. He didn't speak but just listened to the sound of water.
After a while, Mia put the clothes in the big basin and began to wash the blankets.
However, the blankets were too thick and heavy, and she couldn't lift them after they got wet. Her feet slipped, and she almostfell into the water.
"Be careful," Jervis said.
He stepped forward and grabbed Mia's arm. "Are you all right?"
Mia almost fell into the water, and her face turned pale with fright. She turned her head and smiled at Jervis.
She put down the blankets and gestured to Jervis. "Jervis, thank you."
Her smile made Jervis' heart skip a beat.
He threw the cigarette butt aside and said to Mia, "I'll help you."
"No need. The water is too cold."
Mia was gesturing, but Jervis rolled up his sleeves and took the wet blankets from her hand.

From the river to the road, there was a small slope. On this snowy day, the icy road was slippery. Mia wore a pair of boots toprevent her from falling.
She almost walked up, but suddenly, she slipped and fell.
She slid down the slope with the big basin, looking embarrassed.
Jervis immediately ran over. He grabbed Mia's arm and pulled her up. "Are you all right?"
Mia didn't look at Jervis but stared at the clothes scattered from the basin. Seeing the clothes were stained with mud; she pickedthem up angrily and stubbornly walked back to the stone by the river. She sat down and washed them again.
