"I'll buy some mosquito repellent when I come back tomorrow." Gu Huaijin didn't doubt her too much, but was thinking about this matter in his heart.
Song Zhi's face was abnormally flushed because of the lie she had just told. She kept her head down throughout the meal and did not speak a word, which made the meal seem particularly quiet. Gu Huaijin actually felt a little uncomfortable.
She was never this quiet at the dinner table. He glanced at her questioningly, wondering if what he had just said was a bit too serious. He hadn't meant to blame her, and nothing he had said had been particularly harsh.
However, he still took the initiative to bring up the topic, "Did you encounter any problems when you went out today?"
"No, no!" Song Zhi looked up with a confused look on her face. Everything went smoothly for her today, except for the little lie she told. Thinking about it, she felt a little insecure, and even her tone of voice was a little weak.
After finally finishing the meal, Gu Huaijin was the one who washed the dishes again. Song Zhi digested the food in the yard as usual, but at this moment she had something on her mind. She needed to complete the task as soon as possible and go back, so she had to think of a solution.
After washing the pot, Gu Huaijin skillfully added water to it and boiled it. It was fine when he was in Kyoto before, as his home had a dedicated bathroom and it was very convenient to take a bath. Now, if he wants to take a bath here, he can only boil water. Song Zhi and he both have a bit of mysophobia, so they will take a bath unless there is no other way.
"Song Zhi, come and take a bath." After the water was boiled, he poured it into the bathtub and called out to the person who was digesting his food in the yard and had not come to take a bath yet.
"You wash first. My stomach is a little full. I'll wait a while before washing." Song Zhi took two steps hesitantly, rubbing his stomach, pretending to be uncomfortable.
Gu Huaijin looked at the steaming hot water already poured into the bathtub, and was worried that it would get cold if he took too long, so he had to wash first.
Song Zhi showed a triumphant expression, walked easily to the bedroom, looked for his pajamas, and "accidentally" dropped the bath towel on the ground.
Gu Huaijin took a shower particularly quickly today, probably because he was worried that Song Zhi would complain if he waited outside for too long. He came out with wet hair and his pajamas were neatly worn, meticulously. He first took out the bath water and poured it out, then went to the kitchen.
Seeing him like this, Song Zhi frowned and went to the house to get a dry towel and handed it to him, "Dry your hair first and then pour the water. I'm not in a hurry."
Gu Huaijin glanced at the white towel in Song Zhi's hand. It was obviously not his. After hesitating for a moment, he took it and wiped his hair a few times with quick movements. Soon he was done.
After drying her hair, she took the towel in her hand, ready to wash it later. However, Song Zhi stopped her and said, "Give me the towel. I need it later."
Gu Huaijin looked down at her hand reaching out to take the towel and was stunned for a moment. He was well aware of her love of cleanliness. She had always been extremely clean. He remembered that he once took her towel by mistake to wipe her sweat. Although she was extremely happy at the time, he saw her throw away the towel with his own eyes afterwards.
It was then that he realized that she might not like him as much as she seemed to like him, but he didn't understand why she should pretend to like him if she didn't like him.
"I'll wash it first..."
"No, it's too much trouble. Just pour me some hot water. I smell like rice and it makes me feel sick." Seeing that he was hesitating, Song Zhi reached out and grabbed it.
Gu Huaijin was just holding it in his hand and was snatched away by her without any defense. Seeing that she already had it in her hand, he couldn't say anything more, "I'll go get some hot water."
Gu Huaijin filled the bathtub with water and left. Seeing him leave with an unnatural expression, Song Zhi felt very relieved, and a gleam of light flashed in his fox eyes.
She calculated the time and within five minutes of entering the tub, she couldn't wait to speak, "Gu Huaijin, Gu Huaijin."
Gu Huaijin was boiling water in the kitchen, planning to bring Song Zhi back and fill two teapots with water when he suddenly heard Song Zhi calling him. Thinking something had happened, he hurried to the door of the bathroom and asked, "What happened?"
Song Zhi cleared his throat and pretended to be careless. "I couldn't find the bath towel just now. Can you see if you dropped it on the way here from the bedroom?"
Gu Huaijin responded, glanced at the ground and didn't see anything, so he walked towards the bedroom and sure enough, he saw a pink bath towel on the ground.
"I put it at the door. Come out and get it later." As he said that, he was about to leave the house.
Song Zhi became anxious when he heard his words and quickly said, "Help me bring it in. I'm already in the bathtub."
Gu Huaijin showed an expression of disbelief on his face, and his bronze skin flushed red, but he still said seriously, "Come and get it yourself, I'll go in. What will it look like if I go in?"
"Hurry up, if you don't bring it to me, I will stay in here and never come out." She acted coquettishly, her tone soft and sweet.
But Gu Huaijin didn't tolerate her at all and left without thinking.
I boiled water and filled the kettle. I looked over and saw that the bathroom door was still there and the bath towel was still there, motionless.
He frowned, but finally gave in. He knocked on the bathroom door and asked, "Why aren't you coming out yet?"
If you listen carefully, you can hear his words sounding like he is coaxing a child.
Song Zhi also wanted to go out. The water was getting cold. In fact, she didn't need to scrub her body. She washed it every day, so it couldn't be that dirty. But she still threatened, "Bring me a bath towel. I'll scrub myself and then leave."
Gu Huaijin looked at the door in front of him and opened it after hesitating for a long time. The room was small to begin with, and the bathroom was not big either. At this time, after the evaporation of the heat, the whole room was filled with smoke. Although he did not look away, he could see someone sitting in the bathtub with his back to him at a glance.
He turned his eyes away, handed the towel to her, and said in a hoarse voice, "Come out quickly after washing, don't catch a cold."
Song Zhi listened to him speaking seriously of concern for her, her eyebrows curved, and she became more and more demanding, "Please rub my back for me, I can't reach it myself." After saying that, she raised her head and looked at him with innocent and pitiful eyes.
Gu Huaijin really regretted coming in at this moment. He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Don't even think about it."
"Hurry up, I haven't rubbed my back since I came here. If you don't rub it for me, then I'll stay here and you can get out." Song Zhi looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. Gu Huaijin lost his temper because of her. He laughed out of anger. "Give me the bath towel."
Song Zhi handed it to him obediently and added a word of thanks.
After receiving the bath towel, Gu Huaijin felt at a loss as to where to start. He exhaled deeply, tried not to look at her, and finally found a place on her back to rub.
"Be gentle, my skin is broken." Song Zhi cried out in pain and couldn't help complaining.
