Zhou Quan felt a little guilty. When they were talking alone earlier, he subconsciously didn't mention Zhu Zhu's existence, planning to bring it up when she saw her the next day. But he forgot that she would see Zhu Zhu during the wedding ceremony.
Therefore, people really shouldn't lie to those around them or hide anything from them, otherwise they'll be exposed before the other person even notices.
Li Mai chuckled, "Zhuzhu is so cute, how could I dislike her? I haven't disliked you even though you're like this!"
When Zhou Quan heard his last sentence, her heart warmed instantly. He said that she didn't mind him being like this.
She's so wonderful!
After Li Mai entered the bathtub, she took advantage of the darkness in the room to release some spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and mix it into the bathwater.
So, as she soaked in the water, she could feel her body gradually regaining some strength.
I seem to have a lot more energy than before when I felt weak all over.
She planned that after he fell asleep, she would go into her spatial dimension to drink a bowl of spiritual spring water and completely transform the original owner's body.
There are limitations to taking this spiritual spring out of the space; she can't just take as much as she wants.
She can only take out a maximum of three bowls of spiritual spring water from her space each day. Any more than that will make her dizzy, lightheaded, nauseous, and vomit. That's why she only put three bowls into the bathtub just now, and she can't take out any more spiritual spring water today.
Li Mai remained silent, soaking quietly. Zhou Quan, unsure of what to say, lay quietly under the red veil, pondering the words Li Mai had spoken to him that day.
"Splash!"
Suddenly, a louder splash of water rang out. Li Mai stood up, bent down to take his undergarments from the stool, and prepared to put on his clothes. The water was still hot, so he could wash himself while it was still warm. There was spiritual spring water added to it, so maybe washing himself would be better for his health.
She didn't wash her hair because of a head injury.
"Are you not going to wash?" Zhou Quan asked subconsciously.
"Hmm, the water's still warm. Do you want to take a shower? Or should we change the water?"
Water was very precious in this era. Her family would fetch it bucket by bucket from the village's only well. Zhou Lin and the others would probably have to make several trips for her to take a bath. It seems that her family really cherished water.
He probably wouldn't let them change the water; Li Mai asked on purpose.
"No need to change, just use yours, I don't mind!" Zhou Quan's face turned red again after saying this.
"Oh right, you didn't bring any clothes with you when you came. Go open the closet, there are my undergarments inside. I only wore that white one once, you can wear that one first. Your clothes are dirty, wash them before you wear them."
Since she has encountered such a thing, she must not have washed or changed her clothes for several days.
Li Mai initially wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she realized that the clothes she had just taken off smelled of sweat, and she really didn't want to wear them again, so she agreed.
It seems I'll have to go to town in the next few days to buy myself a couple of new outfits.
"Okay!" She put on her coat, went over to light the lamp, opened the wardrobe against the back wall and looked through it. There was a newer set of white undergarments. She took it out, blew out the lamp, and put it on in the dark.
He was half a head taller than her, and his clothes were loose on her. Fortunately, there was a belt. She tied the inner belt and then the outer belt before turning the light back on.
"Alright, come here, I'll help you." Li Mai looked at the bath tub and tried to move it towards the edge of the kang (heated brick bed), but she wasn't strong enough to move it.
Moreover, the ground was uneven, so it couldn't be pushed.
Zhou Quan lifted the cloth sheet over his head, sat up, and realized it was her red veil. His face flushed again.
"Cough, I don't need to go in. Just wet the towel for me and I'll wipe myself down." Zhou Quan looked at the distance between the bathtub and the kang (heated brick bed), then at Li Mai, and shook his head.
"No, your legs need a hot bath. Come here quickly, take off your clothes, I have a way to help you get in."
Although the bathtub was a bit far from the kang (heated brick bed), it was very close to the reclining cabinet next to the kang. He could get to the bathtub by holding onto the cabinet with one hand and himself with the other.
Zhou Quan frowned slightly, looking at the distance, a hint of fear on his face.
Li Mai understood and encouraged him, "Believe in yourself, you can do it."
"I noticed you have a lot of strength. If you keep trying, you'll definitely make it. Hurry up, or the water will get cold and we'll waste this bucket."
Sure enough, after Li Mai finished speaking about wasting the water, Zhou Quan seemed to forget his timidity and shyness, and slowly lowered his head to undo the belt of his outer robe, then unbuttoned it and tied it.
Li Mai almost burst out laughing; his actions resembled those of a forced young wife.
He took off his outer robe, hesitated for a moment when putting on his inner robe, and subconsciously looked up at Li Mai.
Li Mai blinked. "What's wrong? Are you afraid I'll see you?"
"No, no, you are my wife, so of course I can see you." Although his words weren't very forceful, his attitude was still quite proper.
Li Mai stopped staring at him and turned to get a light gray undergarment from the wardrobe for him, placing it on the edge of the kang (heated brick bed) so she could easily hand it to him later.
Zhou Quan stripped down to his underpants, supported himself with his hands, and walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) to look at Li Mai.
Li Mai pointed to the cabinet.
"Move over there, holding onto the cabinet with one hand and me with the other, and move towards the bathtub." She bent down to help him put on his shoes and showed him how to do it.
Zhou Quan obediently did so. When his feet touched the ground, he still felt nothing and didn't need to exert any force. However, at that moment, he was truly standing next to Li Mai, and he was very happy.
