Chapter 212 The Nose Isn't a Nose
Upon hearing that it was made by Cen Yan herself, and that it was something for wiping her face, Lin Xiaoliu did not refuse, and an unnatural blush appeared on her wheat-colored face.
"Then thank you, sister-in-law. Please don't misunderstand, I'm not married yet, and I don't have a girlfriend. This, this thing is for my sister to take home. She said that people at school always make fun of her yellow face and give her nicknames, calling her 'yellow-faced woman,' so I want to take it back for her to try."
"So, the gift I gave you turned out to be the right one. Take it home and use it with confidence. When you're done, go find your brother Chuan and tell him to go home and ask me for it back."
Cen Yan felt that the polite words had been exchanged enough before getting down to business.
"Xiao Liu, it takes more than ten hours to get from Dongming Island to Lancheng by boat. I can't just stand on the deck the whole time. Do you think I can rest somewhere?"
Lin Xiaoliu quickly packed his things and led the way. "Since the tickets for this trip are sold out, I'll have to trouble you to stay in the boatmen's dormitory. Don't worry, I specially cleared out a single room this morning and cleaned it carefully. It's not dirty. I just don't know if someone as meticulous as you can get used to it."
"What are you saying? No matter how meticulous I am, I'm still just an ordinary person. I'm already grateful to have a place to sit and rest. How could I not be used to staying here?"
Cen Yan listened to Lin Xiaoliu's words and learned that the boatmen's dormitory arranged for her was a single room, which suited her just fine.
Once inside, lock the door, rest in the space, and come out after a dozen or so hours.
Lin Xiaoliu took Cen Yan to the boatmen's dormitory.
Inside was a bunk bed, the blankets folded into perfect squares. Cen Yan reached out and touched them, then looked at them; there wasn't a speck of dust.
Lin Xiaoliu was telling the truth; the boatmen's dormitory had indeed just been cleaned.
The only downside is that this is the lowest level of the passenger ship, with doors but no windows, so the air doesn't circulate well, and there's a strange smell in the crew's quarters, which smells a bit like mold.
"Sister-in-law, this is it. Please make do with it." Lin Xiaoliu said with an awkward smile.
Cen Yan shook her head, "I won't settle. The place is quite nice." She yawned, "Xiao Liu, I want to rest for a bit first, what do you think..."
Lin Xiaoliu immediately understood: "I also need to get back to work. Sister-in-law, you rest. I'll come and get you when we get to Lancheng."
"Thank you." Cen Yan watched Lin Xiaoliu leave, locked the door, and disappeared into the boatmen's dormitory.
More than ten hours later, before dawn, the knocking on the door sounded again.
Upon hearing the noise, Cen Yan, who was inside the space, immediately came out. "What is it?"
Lin Xiaoliu's voice came through, "Sister-in-law, we'll be at Blue City Wharf in half an hour."
"Okay, thank you, Xiao Liu. I'll get ready and wait on the deck now."
Cen Yan was busy compiling statistics on the Chinese medicinal herbs to be sold in her spatial dimension, and didn't notice how quickly time had passed. It seemed like she hadn't done anything, and more than ten hours had already gone by.
She messed up the bedding on the lower bunk of the boatmen's dormitory and then folded it again to create the impression that someone had rested there.
As I pulled my small suitcase toward the deck, I found a number of people standing there. They had all been on the ship for more than ten hours and were eager to return to land.
Cen Yan didn't expect to run into an acquaintance on the deck, namely Aunt Yu, who was always at odds with her. Just as she was thinking about whether to move aside, Aunt Yu saw her too, took the initiative to express her opinion, snorted angrily, and walked to the side.
He said that the nose was not a nose and the eyes were not eyes because he happened to be on the same passenger ship as Cen Yan.
Terrible attitude!
That's fine, Cen Yan doesn't want to waste her time on Aunt Yu.
