Lu Chen understood, but disagreed somewhat: "The water is too cold."
Ye Zhiyu was well aware of this, but she was determined to wash up today; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Finally, the two arrived at the small river they had met before.
Lu Chen: "Go ahead, I'll stay here and keep watch for you."
Although no one will come in the middle of the night, it's not 100% certain.
Lu Chen sat down behind the big rock, listening to the hustle and bustle behind him. To avoid thinking about things he shouldn't, he quickly tried to distract himself.
Ye Zhiyu blushed as she took off her clothes. She had never experienced anything like this before, and she kept looking at the big rock as she did so.
It wasn't that she was worried Lu Chen was spying on her—he wasn't that kind of person—she just felt uncomfortable.
I was too embarrassed to take off all my clothes, so I left my underwear on and walked into the water.
"Splash!" "Splash!"
The sound of her feet hitting the water was unsettling; her warm body touched the icy river water, and Ye Zhiyu's toes curled up.
Holding my breath and enduring the cold, I submerged my entire body in the water.
Once you get used to it, start splashing water on yourself.
Hearing the sound of water, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel distracted, and no matter how hard he tried to think about other things, it was no use.
Just imagine those fair skin with a few water droplets...
"Slap!" Lu Chen slapped himself, cursing himself for being a beast.
Ye Zhiyu was unaware of the torment Lu Chen was suffering on the other side. After her body adapted to the temperature of the river, she floated on the surface, where small fish nibbled at her.
My whole body felt itchy, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lu Chen sat up straight and raised his voice to ask, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, the little fish just pecked me, it's a little itchy."
Lu Chen's mind uncontrollably began to wander back to that image.
Suddenly a drop of blood fell, and his nose felt hot and wet. He awkwardly tilted his head back and covered his nose.
After Ye Zhiyu had had her fill of playing, she came up, used her spiritual power to dry her underwear, and then put on her skirt.
With wet hair, I walked around the large rock.
Lu Chen had already tidied himself up, and there was no sign of anything unusual on his face. He paused when he saw Ye Zhiyu approaching.
Ye Zhiyu tilted her head and saw him staring at her head. She was shocked and instinctively covered her head.
She had just gone into the water and removed the gauze from her head. Now her head was completely unharmed. She looked at Lu Chen with some panic, afraid that he would give her a strange look. After all, a normal person would need at least half a month to recover from her injury, and it would only be scabbed over.
In just a few days, her wounds and everything else have healed.
This is just not normal.
Lu Chen paused for only a moment before returning to normal, "Let's go, it's late."
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked forward.
Ye Zhiyu followed behind, gritting her teeth as she caught up to his side.
He offered a lame excuse: "I've always had a strong ability to recover since I was a child."
"Um."
Lu Chen responded, but Ye Zhiyu couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
He tentatively asked, "Could you please not tell anyone?"
Lu Chen certainly wouldn't tell anyone that this was their secret, but he also wanted to hear Ye Zhiyu's reasons.
So he looked straight at her and waited for her to speak.
Ye Zhiyu rolled her eyes, stretched out her slender, fair hand, and pitifully acted coquettish.
“I’ve never done any heavy work before. When I went to the fields to weed, I got blisters all over my hands, and it hurt a lot.”
This was the same reason Lu Chen used to scare her before.
He curled his lips into a smile and couldn't help but cough.
"Besides, I heard that I'll be hanging up my hoe soon. Lu Chen, you're the best."
Lu Chen nodded, "I won't tell anyone."
......
After sending Ye Zhiyu back home, Lu Chen returned to his house. A kerosene lamp was lit at the front of the house, and Lu Ze was sitting there, resting his elbows on his knees and waiting for him.
Upon hearing a noise, rub your neck with your hand.
"You're back? There's water left in the kitchen for you, go wash up and go to bed."
He was yawning and walking into the house when Lu Chen called him back.
"Big brother, can you make something for me?"
Lu Ze turned around wearily: "What?"
"A large wooden tub for bathing."
"Hmm? A big wooden tub for bathing?" Lu Ze muttered, then suddenly realized it was for Ye Zhiqing.
He looked at his younger brother teasingly, "You want to use it?"
Lu Chen remained unfazed by his elder brother's teasing: "It's for her."
The older brother, feeling disappointed after failing to flirt with his younger brother, thought that his younger brother, who had always been mature, would at least have some popularity now that he had someone he loved. But it turned out to be the same as before. He figured that all his popularity had gone to that other person.
“Okay, that’s right. Why didn’t I think of that before? I’ll make three. One for Mom and my little sister, one for your sister-in-law, and one for Ye Zhiqing. It’ll be convenient for taking a bath in the summer, and we can go to the bathhouse in town when it gets cold in the winter.”
Lu Chen nodded, "Thank you, brother. I'll give you the money."
Lu Ze punched him on the shoulder: "Am I not your older brother anymore? We're family, why are you talking about money? Leave this to me, you don't need to worry about it. Go wash up and go to bed."
Back in her room, Tao Qingtang was still half asleep.
"Ah Chen is back? What were you two talking about outside?" The Lu family's house was well-built and fairly soundproof; you could only hear a little noise from the doors and windows.
"Yes, he asked me to make a large wooden tub for Ye Zhiqing to take a bath."
Tao Qingtang smiled, "Achen will be a doting husband in the future."
Lu Ze got into bed and hugged her, his breath close to hers: "Don't I spoil you? I was planning to make some for you, Mom, and my little sister too. It's my fault for not being thoughtful enough and for not thinking of it."
Tao Qingtang dodged him, saying, "Go away, it's so hot."
Lu Ze hugged her tighter, his hands roaming restlessly over her body.
"No, my wife says I don't spoil her enough, so I need to verify this."
