“Are you sure you want to continue to standing out here showing others what you’re saying and how you’re uncomfortable?” There was no shortage of people who passed gossip in the village. What Luo Fei said at the doorway could very likely be spread around later.
“Why do you bother to say that? Do you just want to be contrary?! What is there to even say?” Luo Fei glared at Xi Yanqing: “I said that it’s just a backache!”
“Is it?”
“Why would I lie about it to you?” Luo Fei clasped his hands and pressed on where he had “pain”—it was just too painful. He definitely couldn’t walk home like this. He could only take a break at the Xi’s house. As for why stand at the door? The spring breeze is cold ah!
“Why does he have a backache?” Xi Yanqing looked at his back for a while and asked Luo Yi. He felt that how Luo Fei walked did not look like he had a backache.
“He didn’t say, he said it’s just backache.” Luo Yi was also a bit embarrassed.
Luo Fei entered the house and immediately saw a large wooden tub in the kitchen. Although the basin was not new, it was half-filled with hot water, it was cold outside, and steam rose up invitingly, looking like it would feel comfortable.
After he transmigrated, he didn’t get to properly wash. Last night, he sneakily took some water and rushed to the outhouse. When he went out, the water was quite hot, but it quickly cooled down when he got to the chrysanthemum tree. At the end of March, the temperature in the night was still very low, and the water would get cold in a short while. All that hard work, he didn’t want to remember it at all. Anyway, the reality was that there was no such thing as a bathtub in his home. To clean the body was to just use a small tub to hold the hot water, and use a cloth to wipe the body. In the summer, simply wash outside, or wash in the river.
He couldn’t wash twice a day, now…
Luo Fei eagerly looked at the hot water in the tub for a while.
Why? When Xi Yanqing transmigrated, he had his own house, own field, vegetable garden, and his own tub! As for himself, he even had to cut his own toilet paper!
However, his personal one had not even been cut properly and his chrysanthemum had been scraped!
The more Luo Fei thought, the more he felt depressed, he heard Xi Yanqing ask: “Do you want to wash?” Xi Yanqing said: “I boiled a lot of water.”
This was simply undeniable temptation!
Luo Fei almost instinctively asked: “R-really could I?”
Luo Yi, who secretly observed the two people’s communication, instantly opened his eyes: Second brother, are you crazy? Second brother? ! You haven’t even gotten married and you want to take a bath Brother Xi’s house. What should I do at this time?! Should I stop you or should I find a reason to turn around and find a reason to leave? You are wrong, Brother Xi, do you know!
Luo Yi felt that Xi Yanqing did not leave his second brother with an option to retreat. If he took the bath, then his second brother would not have a choice? !
But… Isn’t this what the family wanted? Especially Father and Mother, they would be very happy to hear it! Besides, as long as you don’t let outsiders know it, it would be fine! The most most most important thing was that if his Father is happy, he will probably not beat him!
After Luo Yi thought it through, his heart suddenly became clear: “Hey, Brother Xi, Second brother, I suddenly have a stomachache, I have to hurry home!”
Luo Yi had already begun running out before he finished his words, and Luo Fei wasn’t even able to pull him back.
Xi Yanqing saw that Luo Fei was still a bit on the fence. He took a piece of clean cloth and placed it on the table next to the tub: “I still have things to do in the garden, you are free to wash, but it is best not to get your hair wet.”
Luo Fei asked: “Why?”
As Xi Yanqing went to the door, he heard the words and faintly smiled, did not answer but rather asked back: “Why do you think?”
Notes: Lol LY is such a good wingman~ LF will probably be tempted to marry XYQ just because of hot baths! Oh by the way, I hope my translations don’t have so many errors that it’s hard to read (I want to stick to my schedule but I’m not sure how much quality I’m sacrificing); when I stockpile enough chapters, I’ll probably take time to go back to edit and what not.
By the way! Go vote for my next project if you haven’t already~
