Chapter 40 The Sixth Brother of the Scheming Men
It has to be said that Yu Jing's medicine is really amazing. Yu Nian rested in the yard for two days, and the wound had completely scabbed over.
Yu Nian lay comfortably under the grape trellis in the yard, taking a leisurely nap.
Hey, I've already given you the maximum I can go on slacking off for two days.
Yu Nian: Please, I took two days off, okay? And it wasn't for nothing; I cleared all my merit points. Try refreshing the quest. By the way, why is there a red light flashing next to Yu Jing's name on the system?
Yu Nian's back injury was really serious. She had to bargain with the old sixth system for a long time before it agreed that she could exchange her last 400 merit points for two days of rest.
[A flashing red light indicates that the villain is about to turn evil.]
What?! Turned evil?!
Yu Nian thought about it carefully. Ever since she met Yu Jing at the Honeysuckle Pavilion that day, she had never seen him again. Chun Tao said that Yu Jing had resigned from his official position in the Imperial Medical Academy. Logically, he should be even more free now. Why is it that she has even less of a chance to see him?
While Yu Nian was pondering, the system had already refreshed today's life-extending tasks.
[Reward for the quest "Changing Chunyu Han's Clothes": 5 days of health points or 500 merit points]
"What a terrible mission..."
Yu Nian made a comment, then suddenly noticed a refresh button above the task entry.
Not bad. Although Lao Liu is not very reliable, at least he keeps his word. He finally added this feature.
Seeing Yu Nian click the refresh button without hesitation, the system chuckled inwardly from within the light spot, thinking, "Little girl, let me show you what the wickedness of society is."
[Ding~ The task has been refreshed. Helping Chunyu Han bathe will reward you with either 5 days of health or 1000 merit points.]
Yu Nian frowned. How come the missions are getting more and more outrageous with each refresh? Helping Chunyu Han take a bath? There's no way she could possibly do that, even if you beat her to death.
Yu Nian wanted to refresh the page again, but a dialog box popped up after she pressed the refresh button.
[Refreshing again requires 500 merit points. Sorry, you do not have enough merit points.]
Yu Nian: "Sixth Brother! You did this on purpose, didn't you!"
Is there no justice in this world? That old man actually tricked her!
[You kept asking for a refresh function, and I added it for you, but you're still not satisfied. You're an adult; don't you know that everything comes at a price? You have to give to receive.]
The system was giving Yu Nian some mature advice, but inside it was already beaming with joy.
"You win!"
These words were practically squeezed out by Yu Nian through gritted teeth; she really wanted to drag this system out and beat it up.
Yu Nian got up from the rocking chair and stormed into the room.
This is really going to be the death of her. How can she help Chunyu Han take a bath? And what does it mean for her to help Chunyu Han take a bath?
Yu Nian dawdled at home until dark before finally climbing over the south wall of the courtyard.
"sea!"
Yu Nian knew the way well and ran into an acquaintance after only a few steps.
"Have your parents returned yet?"
Yu Nian heard that the day after tomorrow is the Empress Dowager's birthday, and even her father has been very busy lately. Chunyu Han must also have a lot of things to deal with.
"The master has just returned. Miss Yu, why don't you wait in the side hall? I will inform him as soon as he finishes his bath."
Canghai had no idea what Yu Nian was up to; he simply assumed she had come to see their adults as usual.
"No need, no need, I'm not in a hurry." Yu Nian's eyes darted around, and she lifted her skirt and went to the Honeysuckle Pavilion.
Just then, they saw a young eunuch carrying a tray walking towards Chunyu Han's bathroom.
Yu Nian smiled, and an idea she thought was perfect came to mind.
Yu Nian rummaged through the side hall and found a set of eunuch clothes. He put them on and, taking advantage of the moment when the young eunuch came out to deliver something, slipped into Chunyu Han's bathroom.
You won't believe it until you see it! Chunyu Han's bathroom is astonishingly large. Is this a bathroom? It's more like a hot spring resort!
In the steaming pool, Yu Nian saw Chunyu Han sitting in the pool with his hair down.
Yu Nian's throat bobbed, and she gripped the tray tightly. Since there was no time limit for the task, she could just wash Chunyu Han's clothes quickly and get by.
Footsteps sounded behind him, and Chunyu Han slightly opened his narrowed eyes.
After getting closer to Chunyu Han, Yu Nian realized that she had overlooked something very important.
How far has Chunyu Han gotten in washing?
Should she come in to wash his hair, scrub his back, or help him lather with soap?
Just as Yu Nian was struggling with her decision, Chunyu Han spoke up.
"Shoulder massage."
Chunyu Han's words were concise and to the point, and Yu Nian hurriedly went over to him, realizing it was time for a massage.
She gave me a good massage, and then ran away as soon as it was over.
The girl's slender, slightly cool hand rested on Chunyu Han's shoulder as Yu Nian knelt beside the pool and began to massage earnestly.
The water level in the pool was just up to Chunyu Han's chest, and Yu Nian massaged him while admiring his physique.
He looks slim in clothes but has a muscular physique underneath; those strong arms, those pectoral muscles, that…
Yu Nian wanted to peek down further; she was quite curious what the view would be like if there were no birds around the eunuch's quarters.
Unfortunately, Chunyu Han was soaking in some kind of medicinal bath; the water was pitch black, and Yu Nian couldn't see anything. It was a real shame.
Yu Nian shook her head slightly, but then noticed something fall into Chunyu Han's pool with a splash, creating deep red ripples.
Damn it! Yu Nian raised her hand to cover her nose. This body is so shameless! She only looked at the scraps and she already got a nosebleed... How embarrassing!
Chunyu Han's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke slowly in a voice tinged with anger.
"Xiao Nianzi."
Yu Nian responded awkwardly, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl back to the Prime Minister's residence.
"Yes, sir."
Chunyu Han snorted. Still pretending at a time like this?
Yu Nian made a show of trying to run away, but she was no match for Chunyu Han's speed. With a forceful pull, Chunyu Han dragged Yu Nian into the pool.
The pungent smell of Chinese medicine filled her nostrils. Yu Nian emerged from the water, panting heavily.
The eunuch's official hat was already soaking in the pool. Yu Nian's clothes were soaked and clung to her body. Even her eyes were wet. She looked like a little deer deep in the forest.
"My nose is bleeding, and you're still deliberately bullying me!"
Yu Nian walked reluctantly to the edge of the pool. Her waist injury had only healed a few days ago, and she dared not soak in the water for too long.
Looking directly at Yu Nian, Chunyu Han realized that Yu Nian was wearing the same clothes he wore when he was a eunuch.
With a sharp look in his dark eyes, Chunyu Han pulled Yu Nian, who had just put one leg on the edge of the pool, back down.
What are you going to do now?
Yu Nian was picked up by Chunyu Han like a little chick, and she started to panic. Was this germaphobe so angry that he was going to drown her in the pool?
Chunyu Han's gaze was frighteningly deep, as if he wanted to suck people into a bottomless vortex.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?"
Chunyu Han was puzzled; he couldn't explain many of Yu Nian's behaviors using common sense.
Yu Nian wiped her nose with the back of her hand, and in a moment of inspiration, she smiled slyly. With her other hand, which was hidden in the pool, she scooped up water and suddenly jumped out of the water, splashing it onto Chunyu Han's cheek.
"I actually came here to hang out with you. Do you know how to have a water fight?"
Yu Nian regretted her words as soon as she finished speaking, because she noticed that Chunyu Han's face had turned even more ashen. If this continued, his pleasure level would probably drop even further.
Yu Nian quickly put on a smiling face and used her sleeve to wipe the water off Chunyu Han's face.
"No, no, I was just joking. Such a childish game isn't suitable for adults."
As Yu Nian was wiping Chunyu Han's face, she heard the sound of something falling outside the screen. A little eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground, repeatedly shouting, "This servant deserves to die! This servant didn't see anything!"
