Chapter 18: Laundry



"Look, is there anyone pretending here now?"

Song Zhi recalled that no one really installed a toilet door.

"We just arrived here, so we'd better not do anything that attracts attention, lest we get targeted. Sometimes public opinion can kill." Seeing her face full of disappointment, Gu Huaijin sighed silently, then soothed her, "First, dig a hole outside the yard leading to the toilet. Inside the toilet, make a squat toilet with cement. Cover it with a piece of wood when it's not in use."

Song Zhi's eyes lit up, and he thought this was a good idea, but he hesitated and asked, "Can it lead to the outside?"

"Sure, I've seen many people do this these past two days."

"That's fine, let's eat quickly." Song Zhi glanced at his hand holding the chopsticks and paused. He remembered that he was about to eat and should discuss this issue after the meal.

Gu Huaijin saw Song Zhi put down his chopsticks halfway through his meal, frowned and asked, "Don't you want to eat anymore?"

Song Zhi nodded and filled her up with a bowl. The bowl wasn't small, but she was so full that she couldn't eat any more.

As soon as she nodded, he took the bowl in front of her with a natural look, lowered his head and started eating. This... Song Zhi's expression was hard to describe. Doesn't he think it's dirty? Bah, bah, bah, she is not dirty. Eat it if you like. After all, she is not eating his leftovers.

After dinner, someone consciously cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.

Song Zhi was so full that he had to walk in the yard to digest the food.

From time to time, he paid attention to the movement in the kitchen. Seeing the figure in the kitchen almost finished, he said confidently, "Add some more water. I want to take a bath."

Gu Huaijin glanced at her indifferently in the kitchen, with an ambiguous meaning, and then started to boil water.

Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, Song Zhi was very satisfied.

Finally, she was able to wash her hair and take a bath. She felt much more comfortable all over. Song Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had just washed herself last night, she always felt that she didn't wash it clean enough today.

Song Zhi put the dirty clothes in the basin and prepared to wash them tomorrow. Every time at this time, she would miss the automatic washing machine.

Winter clothes are not only difficult to wash, but also bulky. Thinking of this, Song Zhi looked worried.

But she soon stopped worrying about it, because she thought of a more fatal problem. Judging from the gradually colder weather in the past two days, the winter in the northwest might be particularly cold.

But she and Gu Huaijin didn't bring thick clothes. It seemed that she still had to go to the county town when she had time to buy some clothes and shoes needed for winter.

When Gu Huaijin came in after taking a shower, she was looking for a tape measure in the drawer. She had brought all these small things that she would use on a daily basis.

"What are you looking for?" Gu Huaijin also walked to her side and saw her searching non-stop.

"I remember I brought a tape measure with me when we came here. Have you seen it?"

Gu Huaijin did not answer, but turned and left the bedroom. Song Zhi did not pay attention to his actions, thinking that he had not noticed.

After a while, Gu Huaijin came back with the ruler she was looking for in her hand.

"Where is it?"

"It was in the luggage bag. It must have slipped out when I was taking something out."

Song Zhiyi thought it was possible, so he stopped worrying and instructed, "Stand still. I'll measure your height and waist. I'll make you two sets of cotton-padded clothes when I have time."

Gu Huaijin saw her hand reaching out and quickly dodged it. "No need. I don't have time to wear cotton clothes during training. You can just make two more. Winters in the northwest are colder than ours."

"Don't move. I'll measure you soon. If you can't wear a cotton coat, I'll make you a vest. It's always warmer than wearing nothing." Song Zhi pulled him to his side with force, pulled out the tape measure with a serious expression, and stretched out his arms to wrap the ruler around his waist.

The two were so close that Gu Huaijin felt a burning sensation where his skin touched Song Zhi's.

"Are you done?" Gu Huaijin asked cautiously without moving.

"Why are you so anxious? I still have to keep count." Gu Huaijin had been keeping his head down. When Song Zhi was complaining, he suddenly raised his head. He was caught off guard, and just like that, Song Zhi's forehead hit his chin.

Song Zhi felt pain when he heard the crisp sound. He immediately stopped what he was doing and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, just measure it first."

Song Zhi stared at him for a few seconds, and since he didn't seem to be in any trouble, he continued measuring.

After measuring, Song Zhi found a piece of paper and wrote down all the numbers, then held the paper in his hand and looked at it carefully.

As expected of the male lead, not only is his appearance unique, created by his mother, but his figure is also top-notch.

Gu Huaijin saw her sitting on the bed in a daze, and asked with rare concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

As he said that, he touched her forehead with his hand. Song Zhi was caught off guard and felt a warmth on her forehead. His palm was very rough. A strange feeling flashed through Song Zhi's heart, a feeling of being out of control.

Song Zhi looked up at him. The man in front of him was wearing blue pajamas. His bronze skin gleamed under the light, and his deep eyes were full of concern.

She calmed herself down and decided not to let herself be seduced by the man's beauty. Her mission was not completed at all, but she was fascinated by him. It was so terrible that she hurriedly pulled his hand away from her forehead.

"Nothing is wrong. Let's go to sleep. I'm so sleepy." Song Zhi changed the subject.

Seeing that she was fine, Gu Huaijin stopped talking. When he saw her pull back the quilt and lie down, he turned off the light and lay down as well.

The night was very quiet, with only the sound of the wind whistling outside. Song Zhi fell asleep in a daze.

In the middle of the night, Gu Huaijin felt like something was pressing on him and he couldn't breathe. When he opened his eyes, he saw Song Zhi's legs on him. His face was full of helplessness. He called her softly twice, but seeing that she didn't respond, he could only gently move her legs to the side.

Unexpectedly, after a while, her legs came up again. After trying several times, Gu Huaijin finally couldn't bear it anymore. He pulled her into his arms and held her steady. Only then did he calm her down and had a good sleep until dawn.

When Song Zhi woke up, the sun was already shining into the bedroom. He stayed in bed for a while, then got dressed and left the house. When he saw Gu Huaijin in the yard, he was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembering that he had said last night that he would rest today.

But wait, why do the clothes he's holding look so familiar?

Song Zhi suddenly remembered that this was the same dress she wore yesterday. Gu Huaijin was washing her clothes, and Song Zhi's expression cracked for a moment.

But she soon calmed down and walked over to him as if nothing had happened, showing what she thought was a very gentle expression and greeting him, "I'm doing the laundry."

Gu Huaijin glanced at her and hummed softly as a response, then continued to rub the clothes in his hands.

Seeing him washing clothes with a focused expression, Song Zhi was very curious and looked at him out of the corner of his eyes while brushing his teeth. The more he looked, the more he found that this man was really good-looking and not at all chauvinistic.
