Chen Zhi didn't know why his mother would suddenly say that, but since she said it, there must be a reason—anyway, even without a reason, Chen Zhi was willing to fetch water for Bai Nuo to "take a bath".
"Come on, little sister, I'll take you to take a bath..." Chen Zhi didn't delay, immediately put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and stood up.
Bai Nuo looked at Chen Zhi's greasy mouth and hands and immediately looked away in disgust. Chen Qiuling thought Bai Nuo was scared, so she comforted her, "Don't be afraid, just treat this place as your own home."
This is her home, isn't it? Bai Nuo was even more unwilling to speak.
“I’ll take my sister!” A-Yu stood up and stared at Chen Zhi, saying, “I won’t keep you from eating.”
“You don’t know where the bathhouse is!” Chen Zhi said. “I’ll take you there.”
Chen Zhi really wanted to bring Bai Nuo along, but Bai Yu seemed a bit insistent, so it ended up being you two.
"Let's eat first!" Bai Yu said. Why take a bath if you haven't eaten?
"Yes, yes, let's eat first, let's eat first. Dalin, quickly serve food for Mom and the two children," Chen Qiuling said with a smile, like a hostess.
Although everyone had their own thoughts while eating, it was the most satisfying meal Bai Nuo had had since arriving here. Chen Qiuling put on a good show, buying only the best dishes and acting like a good stepmother, piling food onto Bai Nuo's plate like a small hill. So, it was no wonder that Bai Nuo ate too much.
"Can you go take a shower now?" Chen Zhi asked impatiently as he watched Bai Nuo and Bai Yu put down their bowls. These two country bumpkins seemed to have never eaten anything.
Bai Yu nodded.
“Let’s go…” Chen Zhi stood up. “Let’s go this way, quickly.”

"It's so comfortable..." The Bai family's bathroom wasn't big, but it wasn't shabby either. When Bai Nuo was little, before the family's conditions were as good as they are now, they also used this kind of bathroom. It was just a small room with a big basin in it, and then they would pour hot water into it.
Lying in the bathtub, Bai Nuo leaned against it and lay down, her whole body submerged in the water, letting out a sigh of comfort.
There were no lights in the bathroom, only a lantern hanging at the door. The soft moonlight shone in through the window. Bai Nuo raised her hand, her fair skin bathed in the moonlight, like a piece of white jade.
Tsk tsk, she vowed to take good care of herself.
"who?"
As Bai Nuo was looking at the door, she was overjoyed when she suddenly heard the door open. Bai Nuo was startled and then saw a tall, black figure standing in the doorway, probably facing her. However, the light was blocked, so she couldn't see clearly. Her heart skipped a beat, and without even taking a bath, she quickly grabbed her clothes, wrapped herself up, and soaked in the bathtub, too afraid to get up.
Fortunately, all her clothes were dark-colored, not white, otherwise she would have been completely exposed.
However, things aren't much better now.
"Good sister, don't be afraid, it's your brother. I just came to see if you're done washing."
As soon as you hear that voice, you know it's Chen Zhi.
Bai Nuo was both angry and embarrassed. She immediately growled and called out to Chen Zhi, who was walking towards her, "I'm done washing. You stay here and don't come any closer!"
But Chen Zhi wouldn't listen to her. He continued walking towards her without stopping.
