He doesn't like these things either, and rarely eats them. He really doesn't know where to buy fruit.
An Shuyi ignored him. She only picked up her chopsticks to eat when the waiter brought the dishes over. After just one bite, she found it incredibly unpalatable. No wonder not many people were eating there. She put down her chopsticks and said, "You finish all of this!"
"All of them?" Looking at the waiter who was still putting dishes on the table, he hurriedly asked, "Waiter, have all our dishes been served?"
"Sir, there are still more than ten dishes left. The chef is preparing them, so you will have to wait a while," the waiter replied.
"Go tell the cook that we only need these dishes; we don't need to make anything else." With so many dishes, filling the entire table, there's no way he can finish them all.
"Madam, is the food not good? Shall I take you to another restaurant?"
"No need, I think this place is fine, but I'm not hungry right now, I'll just watch you eat." After saying that, she picked up her cup and took a sip of water. Ugh, it tasted so bitter.
"Waiter, bring me a pot of tea, the bitter kind."
"Yes, sir."
Xiao Yubai knew immediately that it was for him, and said with a helpless expression, "Madam, tell me, how can I make you feel better?"
"Calm down, you misunderstood. I'm not angry, why would I need to calm down? Eat up, the food won't taste good if it gets cold." As she spoke, she pushed the food in front of him.
"It's good that Madam isn't angry. I'll eat now." He picked up his bowl and chopsticks and started eating. Although the taste wasn't as good as what the cook at home made, he had been at the border for many years and had eaten all kinds of bad food.
Sometimes when I'm hungry, I'll eat anything raw, but this much might be too much for me to finish. Most importantly, if I drink a pot of tea, I won't need to sleep tonight.
An Shuyi sat there and watched him finish his food before she went upstairs triumphantly, saying, "I need to wash up. I'll have the waiter bring me some water."
"Yes!" Xiao Yubai patted his slightly full stomach. Fortunately, although there were many bowls, the amount was not much. It was just that pot of bitter tea that was really hard to drink, but it was also refreshing.
He had the waiter bring water to the room, and he followed him upstairs. The door wasn't closed, and he opened two rooms: one for the guard and one for himself and his wife. He didn't want to wake up the next morning to find everyone gone.
He waited outside until the waiter brought the water to the room. After a long time, he pushed open the door and came in. He saw his wife sitting there drying her hair, closed the door, and went to take a bath.
An Shuyi didn't even lift her eyelids, and said slowly, "I don't mind if you take a shower, but at least change the water."
"The water you used to wash in smells so good, it's such a waste to leave it on time." He was right, it smelled wonderful, like fruit and flowers at the same time.
Seeing how shameless he was, An Shuyi didn't want to say anything more and continued to dry her hair. Long hair was a real nuisance in ancient times. "Hurry up and wash your hair. Come and help me dry it."
"I'm coming right away." Upon hearing the order, Xiao Yubai quickly finished his shower, put on his pants, and came over without even putting on his clothes.
"Nice figure, better than pork, hurry up and dry your hair." After saying that, she tossed him a towel, then produced a plate of char siu buns, which she held to her mouth.
I haven't eaten for two days, and my stomach is growling with hunger. I was thinking of bothering the old man to go out and get me something to eat tonight, but since my stomach is suffering like this, I can only take some food from the storeroom.
Xiao Yubai looked at the plate in her hand and the strange clothes she was wearing, and knew that she had conjured it up out of thin air. He reached out, took one, and put it in his mouth. It really was a steamed bun.
"Madam, why are you making trouble for me when you have food? I remember you even conjured up apples, why aren't you doing that now?"
She watched as he took one of the char siu buns from her plate, but she didn't seem to care at all, saying, "I don't like them." After finishing the char siu bun, she took out a plate of fruit, which was neatly cut and contained many kinds of her favorite fruits.
Looking at the plate in her hand, Xiao Yubai finally understood what it meant to not like to eat. It turned out there were other dishes. She had originally wanted to try them, but her stomach was too full to eat.
An Shuyi turned to look at him. "Aren't you going to eat?"
"Madam, it won't do you any good if I hurt you, but I don't mind if you like to mess around, because I like you and I'm willing to let you mess around with me." After saying that, he used his inner strength, and his hair instantly dried.
Reaching out to touch her hair, An Shuyi was surprised. It turned out that internal energy could really dry hair. "Your internal energy is pretty good. From now on, you can do this to me when I wash my hair."
Washing my hair is always the most troublesome thing. Although I can secretly use a hairdryer to dry it, my hair is too long and it takes time. But with this internal energy, it dries in no time. It's really great.
"As long as you're willing, I'll dry your hair for you from now on." He said, picking up a comb from the table and starting to comb his hair.
An Shuyi didn't say anything, but put the fruit plate into the card holder. "Go downstairs later and wash the clothes you bought today. I won't wear any clothes that haven't been washed."
"This is laundry detergent, something from our workshop. It's like soap beans. Just apply it to your clothes and then wash them clean. I'm going to sleep, don't disturb me."
"Will Madam leave?" Xiao Yubai suddenly asked.
"No, it's good to go see the border since I haven't been there before!" Why make things difficult for people if we don't go? Do you think she's vented her anger over what happened today? This is nothing.
Hearing that she wouldn't leave, Xiao Yubai smiled and said, "I'll go wash your clothes, Madam. I'll make sure they're clean so you can wear them tomorrow." He then picked up the large bundle.
"I just changed out of my clothes and washed them too."
"Yes, Madam!"
After watching him leave, An Shuyi lay down on the bed to sleep, and fell asleep not long after.
The next day, I woke up to the noise and saw a person sleeping on the table. I took out a bean and threw it hard, hitting him.
"Madam, what's wrong?" Xiao Yubai was jolted awake and got down from the table.
"Bring me water, I need to wash up."
"Yes, Madam." Yawning, he went downstairs to ask the waiter to bring water to his room. He hadn't gone to sleep until almost dawn, and he really hadn't expected the clothes to be so difficult to wash. Although he had washed them before, he hadn't done so much.
And it's just a quick rinse with water. Unlike last night's washing, where you wash each piece individually, why use laundry detergent? If you put too much of that stuff in, it creates a lot of bubbles, and it'll still be there no matter how many times you wash it.
Finally, they had to hang everything up one by one. There weren't enough clotheslines, so they had to ask the workers to get more.
After washing her face, An Shuyi took out a set of cool clothes from the warehouse and put them on, then tied her hair up. "Let's go out for breakfast."
"Madam, please wait a moment. Those clothes haven't been collected yet. I'll go get them." Xiao Yubai said, thinking of the clothes he washed last night.
"Why didn't you say so sooner? What were you doing all this time? Hurry up."
"Yes, Madam!" After saying that, he ran downstairs, took the clothes off the rope at the back, carried them all upstairs, wrapped them in a bundle, and then followed her downstairs.
