The two of them went all out and finished harvesting the rice in one go. The photographer glanced at the time and exclaimed, "Wow! It only took 10 minutes!"
Luo Shimiao shook his head, his face showing regret: "It's no fun since we just warmed up."
Gu Nian picked up the umbrella that was placed to the side and opened it to shield the girl from the sun.
"Let's go back." Luo Shimiao's trousers had slipped down a bit, and as she looked down to straighten them, she noticed a black stripe on her foot.
"Ah!" A scream came from the girl's mouth.
Looking at the girl whose face had turned pale, Gu Nian asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Ah... the girl screamed as she ran.
"Jiu Min, Jiu Min, there's a leech on my foot, ahhh..."
No matter how much Luo Shimiao shook it, the leech stuck firmly to her toes.
Luo Shimiao is most afraid of these cold-blooded annelids.
Luo Shimiao ran around in fear, sometimes here, sometimes there.
Gu Nian was dazzled by the sight and rubbed his temples: "Shi Miao, don't run away, I'll help you get it down."
The older brother from next door couldn't stand it anymore and came over to Gu Nian, saying, "Young man, put some saliva on it, and the leeches will fall off immediately."
After thanking his older brother, Gu Nian saw the girl running past him again, grabbed her, and held her tightly in his arms.
"Don't move." The man's voice seemed to have a calming magic.
Luo Shimiao indeed stopped moving, but she didn't dare to look at her feet. She buried her head in the man's arms and pointed to the toes of her left foot.
"There, help me." Her voice even carried a hint of a sob.
Seeing how frightened the girl was, he smiled, picked her up, and found a place to sit, letting Luo Shimiao sit on his lap.
Grabbing Luo Shimiao's fair and tender feet, Gu Nian moved his mouth, then caught the saliva in his hand and smeared it on the leech.
Just as the man had said, the leech fell off on its own.
A thin trail of blood flowed from the spot where the leech had attached itself, and Gu Nian wiped the blood away.
A cool male voice rang out: "Alright."
Luo Shimiao raised her head and carefully looked at her feet, and after seeing that there was nothing there...
He jumped to his feet, hands on his hips, a ferocious expression on his face, and unleashed a torrent of abuse at the leech that had fallen to the ground: "fa*ck#$*##%..."
Knowing he couldn't speak in Chinese, Luo Shimiao cursed in English the entire time.
In the dormitory corridor, the director was watching a live stream on his phone when he spat out a mouthful of water and roared at the phone, "Luo! Shi! Miao! Shut up!"
Gu Nian's temples throbbed as he listened to the repeated swear words.
He covered the girl's cherry lips with his large hand, preventing her from continuing.
The man coaxed gently, "It's playing, you can scold it, it won't understand, and you'll only tire yourself out."
Luo Shimiao said angrily, "It deserves to be scolded for letting it bite me."
Live stream chat, bullet comments.
— [Zhao, with my CET-6 (College English Test Band 6) certificate, my ears have just been through a storm.]
—【I want to watch the replay and write down what this woman just said so I can use it next time we argue.】
—【Wow, that's awesome! I thought I was hallucinating, but seeing everyone's reactions puts my mind at ease.】
—Could you translate this to mean?
—【Um...is this something I can say?】
—[Hilarious, I can't even type this out, and it would get censored if translated.]
Back in the dormitory, Luo Shimiao met Director Li's deathly gaze.
Luo Shimiao hid behind Gu Nian, poked her little head out, and asked timidly, "Director Li, did I dig up your ancestral grave?"
Director Li felt a pang of anxiety, instantly feeling powerless. He turned and walked away, his back view making him look 10 years older.
"What's wrong with Director Li? I didn't provoke him." Luo Shimiao blinked, her beautiful eyes clear and pure.
Gu Nian roughly guessed what was going on, opened his mouth, and finally sighed: "Your clothes are dirty, go upstairs and change."
The washing machine in the dormitory is broken, so the clothes I took off haven't been washed. I sweat a lot from working, and they smell sour.
Luo Shimiao put the clothes into a bucket, then found a basin, threw the laundry detergent into the bucket, and went to find a place to wash the clothes.
The water flow in the bathroom is so thin it's like noodles; you can't wash clothes at all.
She couldn't stand this pile of smelly clothes for even a second longer.
As I went downstairs, I ran into Gu Nian, who was carrying a bucket of clothes.
Luo Shimiao raised an eyebrow: "Teacher Gu, what a coincidence, you're also going to do laundry?"
Gu Nian: "Mm."
Luo Shimiao asked the villagers and learned that there was a small river nearby, where the villagers often went to wash clothes when the water was cut off.
Follow the direction indicated.
On the way, Luo Shimiao looked at the silent Gu Nian and said, "Teacher Gu, is this your first time washing clothes by hand?"
Gu Nian turned to look at Luo Shimiao: "Hmm, what's wrong?"
Luo Shimiao's face instantly lit up with a smile, and he rubbed his hands together: "Teacher Gu, your skin is so delicate, washing clothes will hurt your hands. I'm different, my skin is rough and thick, and most importantly, I like to do chores. How about this, I'll wash your clothes for you, 200 yuan a set?"
Gu Nian couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Seeing his silent smile, I assumed he thought it was too expensive: "The price is acceptable..."
"make a deal."
Luo Shimiao was taken aback. So straightforward? He knew that saying 400 per set was too hasty.
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Now that it's being broadcast, there's no going back on it," Luo Shimiao said with a smile.
His gaze fell on the bucket Gu Nian was carrying: "How many sets of clothes?"
Gu Nian: "Three sets."
Luo Shimiao nodded, feeling quite pleased with herself. Earning 600 yuan by washing three sets of clothes—she really knew how to make money!
After walking for about five or six minutes, we saw the small river that the villagers had mentioned.
