Su Qingcai had just entered the bath. He was sitting in the tub with his back to Su Xiaoning, his half-loose black hair draped behind him. Despite being a man, his skin looked more delicate and smooth than a woman's, and his fair, bare back was tinged with a faint cherry blossom pink.
What a beautiful picture of a handsome man bathing.
Su Xiaoning was stunned. She stood there blankly, feeling her cheeks burning hot and her heart pounding as if it would burst out of her chest.
Hearing the noise at the door, Su Qingcai turned around in surprise. When he saw Su Xiaoning standing there in a daze, he felt a rush of blood to his head.
"How did you get here?!"
Su Qingcai shouted angrily, calling back Su Xiaoning's soul, which had already flown to the heavens.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I just went to the wrong room!" Su Xiaoning waved her hands repeatedly and covered her eyes, but she couldn't help but peek out through a little gap between her fingers.
Su Qingcai had turned around completely. Although he looked thin, he had a lot of muscles. The perfect eight-pack abs that Su Xiaoning had only seen in photos before were now right in front of her.
Her eyes unconsciously darted downwards, and Su Xiaoning felt her face burning so hot that she could fry an egg in it.
Realizing that Su Xiaoning's gaze was directed in an inappropriate direction, Su Qingcai's face turned ashen, and he snapped, "What nonsense are you spouting? What kind of coincidence is it to have entered the wrong room? Get out of here right now!"
As he spoke, he grabbed the towel draped over the bathtub and covered his chest with it.
"I'm sorry..." Su Xiaoning's voice was weak and barely audible. She had no idea why she had come to find Su Qingcai. She only felt her body getting hotter and hotter. She lowered her head, covered her face, and ran out. She was in such a hurry that she even forgot to close the door for Su Qingcai.
After Su Xiaoning left, Su Qingcai breathed a sigh of relief. He put down the towel in his hand and sighed somewhat awkwardly.
He's a grown man, after all. How come he's more shy than a woman when someone sees him taking a bath? Su Xiaoning is really something else. Does she really think he doesn't know she's peeking through her fingers? She's truly unique…
Su Qingcai recalled Su Xiaoning's flushed face just now, and a suspicious blush also appeared on her face.
...
Fifteen minutes later.
After taking a bath, Su Qingcai felt refreshed. He dressed and walked out of the room. In the courtyard, Su Xiaoning was sitting in a daze.
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Su Xiaoning subconsciously looked up and saw Su Qingcai leaning against the door frame, looking at her with a half-smile. The scene from not long ago involuntarily floated into her mind, and she immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.
"What? You weren't like this in my room just now, but now you're shy?" Su Qingcai raised an eyebrow and walked towards Su Xiaoning.
Su Xiaoning gave an awkward smile and took a few steps back.
"I didn't do it on purpose. I already said I went into the wrong room, why are you still making a fuss? By the way, Qin Yunyun is acting crazy right now, why don't we find her a doctor to take a look? Otherwise, you won't get any information from a madman."
She abruptly changed the subject, trying to extricate herself from the awkward atmosphere.
Su Qingcai had no intention of making things difficult for Su Xiaoning, so he gave a nonchalant "hmm".
Su Xiaoning breathed a sigh of relief and ran outside in a flash. "I'll go get a doctor now, you don't need to come with me!"
Her hurried escape resembled that of an adorable rabbit, and Su Qingcai smiled slightly, feeling much better.
Before long, Su Xiaoning indeed invited a doctor, and together they went to the Qin family again.
At this moment, Qin Yunyun from the Qin family changed her crazy appearance and stood in front of Qin Sang, crying with tears streaming down her face.
“Father, we really can’t stay here! The villagers of Carp Village have no intention of letting us go. Look, they’ve put us under house arrest here, and they might attack us any day now! And that Su Qingcai… he already knows we sent assassins! He’s even threatening me. Our lives are going to be even harder from now on…”
While crying, Qin Yunyun told Qin Sang everything that had happened.
Qin Sang frowned, then slammed her hand on the table and said, "We can't live like this anymore! We have to leave. There will definitely be a chance to make a comeback in the future!"
"Dad, it's so good that you've come to your senses, but how do we proceed now?"
"us……"
Before Qin Sang could finish speaking, her eldest son, Qin Jin, rushed in, shouting, "Dad, Xiao Ni'er has brought a doctor!"
"Doctor?" Qin Yunyun's expression changed. "Oh no! I pretended to be crazy before, and they've sent someone to treat me!"
"Yunyun, just go with the flow. We'll be right here." Qin Sang's eyes turned cold as she immediately led Qin Jin to hide to the side.
Before long, Su Xiaoning came in with the doctor. She pointed at Qin Yunyun, who was pretending to be mentally unstable, and said, "Doctor, she's the one who needs to be treated for her mental illness. Please treat her well. I'll be leaving now. You can come to me later to settle the bill for the medicine."
"No problem, no problem." The doctor chuckled and, after Su Xiaoning left, approached Qin Yunyun, took her wrist, and was about to take her pulse.
Qin Yunyun's expression changed, and she immediately shook off the doctor's hand, "Get away! How dare you touch my hand!"
"You..." The doctor stared in astonishment at Qin Yunyun, who had suddenly returned to normal. Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a "thud," felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then fainted.
Qin Sang threw the wooden stick in his hand on the ground, glanced coldly at the doctor lying unconscious on the ground, and pulled Qin Yunyun to walk out. "Let's go now!"
The three of them carefully made their way to the deepest part of the backyard. Qin Sang pointed to a hole in the corner of the wall and said, "Quick, let's crawl out from here!"
“But, Dad, this looks like a dog hole…” Qin Yunyun looked at the small hole in front of her with some difficulty. The digging marks looked like they were made by a dog’s paws.
"What are you still worrying about at a time like this? As long as we get out of here, we'll have a chance to make a comeback. What's wrong with digging a hole?"
Qin Sang glanced at Qin Yunyun, ignored her, and crawled out through the dog hole. Qin Jin followed closely behind, leaving Qin Yunyun alone in the spot, hesitating for a long time before finally having no choice but to crawl through the hole herself.
She crouched down, crawled on the ground, and crawled out. Her fine clothes were covered in dust, and her heart was filled with humiliation and anger.
The Qin family will make the entire Carp Village pay for today's grudge one day!
The three of them crawled out of the dog hole and hurriedly fled. They had only gone halfway when Qin Yunyun touched her waist and her face turned pale.
Oh no! Where did her secret stash of money, meant for her future comeback, go?!
Qin Yunyun's breath hitched, and she dared not take another step forward. She felt dizzy and almost fainted.
At the same time, Su Xiaoning, having received news that the Qin family had escaped, picked up a purse in the Qin family's side room and looked puzzled.
