"Waaaaah, ahhh~ I want to kill them, they're so disgusting, why am I so unlucky to run into such a thing."
Zhou Xue sat in Ye Zhiyu's room and cried her heart out. They didn't stop her, because it was really disgusting.
Ye Zhiyu instructed Liu Shengnan to get brown sugar from the box and mix it with water for them to drink.
Liu Shengnan only made two bowls, one for Ye Zhiyu and one for Zhou Xue. Both Ye Zhiyu and Wu Wenwen said they didn't want any, and Ye Zhiyu didn't insist.
"Alright, alright, it's okay to cry it out." Liu Shengnan patted Zhou Xue's back and handed her some brown sugar water.
"Here, have a sip of sweet soup to sweeten your heart."
After drinking a bowl of brown sugar water, Zhou Xue gradually felt warmer and her mood calmed down.
He was still hiccuping from crying and his speech was halting.
"Zhiyu hiccup...you asked me today hiccup...did I hiccup...did I smell something, was that a hiccup...?"
Ye Zhiyu almost laughed, but managed to hold it back: "I accidentally saw them acting suspiciously today, and they've been acting a bit strange these past few days, so I was thinking of asking you about it, but I wasn't sure, I didn't expect..."
Wu Wenwen recalled that it would have been better if Ye Zhiyu hadn't mentioned it, because once she did, they remembered that these two never traveled with the main group and collected less firewood than they did.
Zhou Xue felt very uncomfortable and suddenly felt itchy all over her body.
With a sob in her voice, she said, "I need to take a shower. I feel so uncomfortable, my body is so itchy."
"Okay, okay, let's go together."
Zhou Xue suppressed her nausea and took out her toiletries, ignoring Li Xi's fierce gaze.
"Zhiyu, do you want to come too? Your feet."
Wu Wenwen was a little worried, as the bathhouse floor was very slippery.
"It's okay, I'll just bring a small stool to sit on."
"Alright, let's go."
"Grandpa Liu should still be at the village entrance."
"Probably. Grandpa Liu is in great health. He's still waiting outside for people to ride in his oxcart in this cold weather."
Li Yuzhe and the others were about to go up the mountain again when they asked him to tell Lin Yueze before leaving.
As I passed by Li Xi's room, I happened to see her cleaning up a bunch of smashed items and throwing them away.
Zhou Xue looked away in disgust, while Ye Zhiyu smiled slightly at Li Xi.
Satisfied after successfully witnessing Li Xi's change of expression, he left.
After a long and bumpy journey, they finally arrived in town and hurried to the bathhouse. On the way, they saw Shen Xingxiu rushing around.
Upon seeing Ye Zhiyu, he ran away as if he had seen a ghost, showing none of his previous arrogance.
"What's wrong with him? Is he having another episode?"
Ye Zhiyu shrugged: "Maybe she went to see Xu Fen?"
The crowd was puzzled, but since it had nothing to do with them, they didn't say anything.
"Ah, it's warm. In winter, I really want to stay in the bathhouse. It's so comfortable."
Zhou Xue is from the South. She felt shy when they took a shower together before, as everyone was naked and standing in the same room, facing each other openly.
I've tried several times and still haven't gotten used to it, but today I was unusually calm and not shy at all.
She took off her clothes very directly, without any of the previous attempts to hide them.
What surprised them most was that they had just bought a bath towel at the ticket counter, something they had previously strongly refused to use.
It seems that today's events have been a big blow to her.
"Sister Wu, could you rub my back a little harder?"
"Okay, sure."
After Wu Wenwen finished rubbing her back, she took over and continued. When she stopped, her whole body was swollen like a boiled shrimp, showing how much force she had used.
Liu Shengnan swallowed hard. "Okay, Zhou Xue, stop rubbing. We're all done. We'll wait for you outside."
"Oh? Oh, I'll be done soon too. I'll just wash my hair, it'll be quick."
Liu Shengnan used a towel to dry the water from her hair: "Let's get out of here quickly, or her skin will start to bleed."
Wu Wenwen sighed, not knowing what to say to Li Xi.
......
As Li Xi tidied up the room, her only pair of leather shoes was shattered by broken glass, and her pent-up anger exploded in that instant.
The leather shoe in his hand flew through the air and he threw it toward the door.
"Zhou Xue, you bitch."
The next second, Fu Tingshen, who had just entered from outside, was hit squarely by a leather shoe, and a lump swelled up on his forehead, right on the left and right sides.
"Hiss~~"
Fu Tingshen frowned: "Xiaoxi, what are you doing?"
When his gaze fell on Li Xi's face, he was somewhat incredulous. Things had happened too fast, and Li Xi hadn't even had time to conceal the dark and twisted expression on her face.
Her expression changed drastically, and she quickly put on a tearful look.
She hurriedly took a few steps, "Brother Tingshen, are you alright? I didn't mean to, but Zhou Xue tore the little leather shoes you gave me. I'm so angry."
Fu Tingshen avoided her hand that she wanted to examine, and asked with a hint of disbelief, "Really?"
However, since those little leather shoes were meant to be given to Ye Zhiyu by his mother, he gave them to Li Xi instead, not wanting to accept them. Unexpectedly, she had the same shoe size as Ye Zhiyu, which backfired.
Seeing that she brought it up, I felt guilty and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
He did, however, begin to have doubts about her earlier behavior. After all, she had always appeared as an innocent and pure girl in his eyes. The transformation of her from an innocent girl to a man-eating flower was somewhat unsettling.
He handed fifty yuan to Li Xi.
"Give this to Zhou Xue and let her make or buy a quilt and mattress herself. The rest is to keep her mouth shut."
"Yes," Li Xi replied obediently.
Seeing that he was about to leave, she stopped him, saying, "Brother Tingshen, let me help you apply the medicine."
"No need, I can manage on my own," Fu Tingshen said, frowning as he refused.
I felt that Li Xi was not as sensible as usual today. Even though their affair had been discovered, she still didn't know how to avoid suspicion.
Fu Tingshen never considered that since they were a couple, as long as no one reported them, they could get married later without having to avoid suspicion.
To Li Xi, his current attitude clearly shows that he doesn't want to take responsibility.
Li Xi's hand, clutching the money, slowly tightened, her knuckles turning white.
The power of words takes effect at this moment, and a seed slowly sprouts.
"This bath feels so good, my whole body is warm and cozy, it's so invigorating!" Liu Shengnan ran with the speed of the wind, looking incredibly happy.
Zhou Xue also regained her energy. After being in the countryside for so long and experiencing so much, her recovery speed was very fast.
"It feels like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders, it's so relaxing."
Wu Wenwen helped Ye Zhiyu walk slowly behind, while shouting to the two people running ahead.
"You two wait for us, don't take advantage of our slow pace."
Zhou Xue and Liu Shengnan laughed and stopped in front of them.
Ye Zhiyu, limping, really didn't know what to say. Why did she have to pretend to sprain her ankle? Now look what happened, she's moving so slowly, even she's getting anxious.
Just as they were trying their best to catch up with the two people in front, they heard a shout from behind.
"Know me?"
Ye Zhiyu turned her head and saw Tao Qingtang, with a listless young wife beside her. The wife's features were somewhat similar to Tao Qingtang's, but not much; she was also the demure, girl-next-door type.
She glanced at him, didn't recognize him, probably a relative of Tao Qingtang, and didn't look at him much.
