Xu Nuo woke up, stared blankly for a while, and then reluctantly got up, changed her clothes, and prepared to go out to brush her teeth and wash her face.
After the rain stopped yesterday, Li Xian helped her dry her coat and shoes.
She was wearing Li Xian's mother's black cheongsam underneath her own dark blue trench coat.
Paired with clean white sneakers and white cotton socks, without any makeup, she remains pure, elegant, and beautiful.
When Xu Nuo opened the door, she was startled by the person standing there.
"I am Zigen's wife." Zigen's wife's name is Shen Cuiping. Her shrewd eyes were fixed on Xu Nuo's outfit, and she couldn't take her eyes off it with envy.
She's never worn clothes like that before.
Xu Nuo nodded politely to her, then quickly brushed her teeth with her water cup and wiped her face with herbal water. Seeing that Shen Cuiping was still standing there watching her, she thought of politely greeting her.
Before she could say anything, she saw the other person turn around and leave, running straight back into the room and locking the door.
Xu Nuo was completely confused.
This Zigeng's wife is acting strangely.
Shen Cuiping ran back to her room, pressing her eyes against the window and peeking through the tiny crack.
Seeing that Xu Nuo had returned to Xia Jie'er's room, he put his ear to the door to eavesdrop, and soon heard some noise.
Xu Nuo took the bag and left.
Shen Cuiping was overjoyed. She had just run away because she was afraid that this city comrade would ask her about breakfast, but who knew that she would just leave without even asking.
She opened the door and quickly went into the kitchen to get the bowl of sweet potato porridge.
The large bowl that was originally full was served by Pan Yinhua.
After everyone went to work, Shen Cuiping secretly scooped some out with a spoon.
She quickly heated up the sweet potato porridge and wolfed it down.
After finishing her meal, she rubbed her stomach and breathed a sigh of relief. With nothing else to do, she tried pushing open Xia Jie'er's room. To her surprise, the door was not closed and opened with a creak.
The room was filled with a delightful floral fragrance.
With a look of surprise, she stepped inside.
She first lay down on the bed, rolled around a couple of times on the soft and clean mattress, and took a deep breath of the floral scent.
Her gaze fell on a small cloth bag that Xu Nuo hadn't taken.
She reached out and opened it.
There were so many things inside, including toothbrushes, soap, and candy…
There are also a few bottles of moisturizing oil.
Shen Cuiping's eyes were greedy. She first tore open two candies and stuffed them into her mouth, sucking hard on the hard candies while muttering, "So delicious. There are so many good things in this city."
She rummaged through the coin twice, but couldn't find a single penny. Disappointed, she turned her attention to the remaining few candies, grabbed a handful, and stuffed them into her pocket.
They didn't take it all because they were afraid of being discovered.
"You poor wretch, you don't have a single penny."
Her dark, rough hands landed on the moisturizing oil, she opened the cap, scooped out a spoonful, and applied it all to her face.
This was her first time using this stuff. She rubbed it on her face like she was rubbing off mud, and quite happily looked at herself in the mirror in Xu Nuo's room, thinking that she was quite pretty.
When I touched it, my face felt incredibly smooth.
She put the tampered bottle back and then opened several other bottles one after another.
One of the bottles contained very little, with only a tiny amount left.
She put it back with disdain and chose the bottle with the largest amount to stuff into her pocket.
Before leaving, she carefully shook the corner of the blanket, making it look like no one had entered the room.
Unbeknownst to her, the bottle with the smallest amount was for Xu Nuo's own use, and although the remaining amount was small, it contained far more herbal water than the bottle she was holding.
