I might as well sneak out and find a river, soak in it as long as I want, and nobody will bother me.
Ah Zhen: "Get up."
Guo Zhen leaned on the edge, making a move to get up, but Guo Xiaoxiao stopped her, telling her there was no need to rush.
"It's alright. They've only come once. We'll get up again when they come a second time. With you here, they won't dare to come in. They know what they're doing."
Ah Zhen didn't trust them. If they barged in, it wouldn't be to take advantage of her, but rather because they were acting on impulse.
"Really? Are you sure? His voice sounds off."
Guo Xiaoxiao was unhappy: "It's always like this. I feel like I'm being controlled so tightly. The other females soak in water every day, and I don't see them doing anything. They also give me fruit with medicinal properties every day. Soaking in the water for too long will kill me."
Ah Zhen: "They just care about you. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even bother to say it. You can tell they really care about your health."
Guo Xiaoxiao: "I know they care about me, which is why they've been patient. But if it were you, and after soaking for 15 minutes, at a place like Xifu or Muyang, your male companion told you to get up, would you get up?"
Ah Zhen, think about that scene.
Under the blazing sun, she was drenched in sweat. She finally found a water source and soaked in it for a while, but less than 15 minutes later, someone came to call her.
They said it was for her health, and they insisted on making her get up.
Ah Zhen: "Maybe I'm just the kind of person who doesn't take care of my body. I just want to feel comfortable first, and I don't care about anything else."
"That being said, spending all your summer in the water can cause rheumatism when you get old."
Guo Xiaoxiao: "Right? I know it's bad for my health, but I just can't help talking about it. Look at this weather, is this how a human being lives?"
Ah Zhen: "Hehe..."
Carlos knocked on the door for a while without getting a response, then sighed and decided to wait a bit longer before trying again.
Nearly half an hour passed, and Carlos then sent Mickelson to persuade him.
Seeing that Carlos was honest, he gave him a good talking-to.
“I heard Xiaoxiao coughing outside the door just now. I wanted to go in, but she wouldn’t let me. Maybe someone else should try to persuade her.”
When Mickelson heard this, he started coughing. "Didn't you catch a cold? Oh no, you've caught a cold; it's a serious illness."
"Alright, I'll go and try to persuade them."
—thump thump thump—
Another knock on the door
"It's time to get up. How long has it been? You've caught a cold; you need to take herbal medicine."
Mikkelsen's voice was slightly lower, lacking the gentleness of Carlos's.
