This was definitely the most filling meal Zhou Chunhua had ever had.
She swallowed two large bowls of plain rice.
By the end, she felt like she was stuffing herself in her throat.
She and Gu Yao were originally going to clean up and wash the dishes themselves, but the uncle stopped them in the main room.
The result was... they were staring at each other in the main room.
The aunt kept laughing at them, making Zhou Chunhua so embarrassed that she gripped the ground with all ten toes.
"Um...then we'll go back to our room and rest." Gu Yao stood up and tugged at her arm.
Zhou Chunhua quickly stood up and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I'm feeling really dizzy right now, Auntie, let's go back to sleep first."
The auntie got up, saying "okay" repeatedly, and told them in a thick local accent to make hot water bottles for them before heading out to the kitchen shed.
Zhou Chunhua quickly followed.
After all, the yard was dark, and the aunt's eyesight wasn't very good to begin with; she might fall if she didn't.
When we arrived at the kitchen shed, the uncle was washing dishes on the table.
There was no dish soap, just a pot of hot water.
And the kitchen shed in front of us was indeed just a shed.
It leans against the wooden wall of the house on one side, with a thatched roof overhead, and the other three sides are unobstructed.
The night wind howled back and forth, making her shrink her neck.
"It's windy here halfway up the mountain at night. Hurry back inside, or you'll catch a cold," the uncle urged.
The older woman kept pushing her toward the main room.
So she was sent back without being able to help at all.
A short while later, the woman returned carrying a hot water bottle.
As soon as she entered, the aunt shoved a hot water bottle into her arms.
She was speaking in a dialect she couldn't understand.
It seemed to be a reminder to cover themselves with blankets at night so they wouldn't catch a cold.
She could only occasionally make out a few words and guess what they were saying.
Then, the woman pointed inside and said something like, "Tell them to go and rest."
So she led Gu Yao back to the room where they had rested earlier.
As soon as Zhou Chunhua lifted the curtain and went inside, she was immediately embarrassed.
She only remembered that there was only one bed in the room when she saw the bed.
The ground is still covered with fine sand, so it's impossible to sleep on the ground like before.
"Um... how about you go to sleep, I'll go for a bit."
After Zhou Chunhua put the hot water bottle in her hand into the quilt, she turned around and saw Gu Yao taking off his clothes.
She gasped sharply and turned around abruptly.
My mind keeps wandering back to those embarrassing scenes I'd seen before.
His muscles were perfectly toned with no excess fat, his skin was smooth and healthy, and... he was a whole size bigger than Liao Nanxing...
Zhou Chunhua closed her eyes and kept shaking her head.
I tried to shake all those filthy thoughts out of my mind.
As a result... the cool, comfortable sensation on her forehead almost made her choke on her own saliva.
Before she could open her eyes, her body reacted faster than her mind, taking a step back and collapsing onto the bed with a thud.
Then, the angle from which she was originally face-to-face with Gu Yao changed to the upward angle she is now looking up at.
The worst part is that from this angle, everything that should be seen, and everything that shouldn't be seen, is seen more clearly.
However, that's not all.
What made her heart race even faster was that Gu Yao suddenly got closer and closer to her.
Her gaze traveled from Gu Yao's face, which was as beautiful as a woman's, to his sexy Adam's apple, then to his clearly visible collarbone, his well-defined and firm pectoral muscles, his clearly visible eight-pack abs, and his suggestive belly button...
Glug!
Zhou Chunhua unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva that wasn't even there.
Because her gaze had fallen on a place she shouldn't be looking at.
She opened her mouth, wanting to call out to Gu Yao and tell him not to come any closer.
But this stubborn mouth seemed to have its own ideas; it opened for a long time but didn't utter a single word.
"What's wrong? Do you have a fever?"
Gu Yao placed his hand on her forehead again.
The moment they made contact, Zhou Chunhua felt a jolt of electricity spread from her forehead throughout her entire body.
Her body trembled slightly involuntarily.
It was thanks to this that she regained control of her body.
"N-nothing." She pushed Gu Yao's hand away. "I...I'm thirsty. I'll go outside and get some water."
She had only taken one step when Gu Yao grabbed her arm.
Turning around, she saw Gu Yao looking at her with a wronged expression and furrowed brows.
"I thought you were used to sharing a room with me after all the times we've done so before. I'm sorry, I only thought of you, Uncle, and ignored your feelings."
Okay, you get some rest, I'll sit in the main room for the night. When it's light, you drive, and I'll catch up on some sleep in the passenger seat.
As soon as she heard these words, Zhou Chunhua immediately came to her senses.
The embarrassment and awkwardness I felt earlier vanished in an instant.
If she lets him sit outside all night, then all the effort she put into staying today will have been for nothing.
Moreover, heart patients have a much higher chance of dying suddenly when staying up all night than the average person.
"No," she quickly explained, "It's not like this is the first time we've shared a room. I just ate something too salty, and now I'm really thirsty."
"Go to bed and rest. I'll be right back with some water."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
Before her two uncles had left, she turned back and said, "Gu Yao, I'm not used to sleeping against the wall. Can I sleep on the outside?"
If she sleeps inside, her chances of succeeding at night are almost zero.
Because this bed board creaks whenever it's moved.
