Chapter 17

After finishing the meal, they cleared the dishes together in a tacit understanding. Cheng Yao looked calm, as if she should be like this.

Cheng Duanli watched Cheng Yao turn and leave in trance. He felt that his empty heart was gradually being filled, and he was no longer so lonely at night.

Tonight, it seemed that he helped Cheng Yao and temporarily gave her a place to stay, but in fact, it was Cheng Yao who helped him at this critical moment.

Without her enlightenment, I might not have been able to adjust my mentality so quickly.

"Okay, I've sorted everything out. Which room should I sleep in tonight?"

Cheng Yao looked at the neatly tidied kitchen and smiled with satisfaction. After eating and drinking, she felt a little sleepy and wanted to rest early.

"You can sleep in the room next to mine first, and I'll help you clean up briefly first."

Cheng Duanli went to the storage room to get a clean bedding and laid it neatly on the bed. Probably because he was afraid that Cheng Yao would feel uncomfortable sleeping, he even put an extra layer on it.

Looking at the soft bed in front of her, Cheng Yao felt extremely satisfied.

After being here for so many days, she didn't even get a good night's sleep.

Thinking back to the sweet potato cellar outside the village, I was filled with bitter tears.

"There aren't many beddings at home, so this is all we can do for now. Don't dislike it."

Cheng Duanli was a little embarrassed. It was the first time for a young man to entertain his guests, but the environment was not good after all.

"What are you talking about? It's very good. I'm very satisfied, really!"

"I can't wait to get in right now and have a big hug with the warm quilt!"

Seeing that Cheng Yao didn't care at all, the embarrassment on Cheng Duanli's face disappeared.

"Since you are tired, go to bed early."

"It's cold at night, so cover yourself with a quilt."

"If you need anything, just call me. I'm next door and can hear you."

Cheng Yao nodded and listened obediently. Suddenly she froze on the spot and asked a key question.

"Wait, I think I need to do one more thing."

She looked at the clean bed in front of her, and then at herself.

She hadn't had time to take a shower in the past two days, not because she didn't want to, but because the conditions didn't allow it.

Burning water wastes firewood, and ordinary people use firewood for cooking.

It takes a lot of time to boil water once, occupying the boiler and unable to do other things.

There is another important reason, that is, if the heating measures are not in place, you are likely to catch a cold.

I got caught by the wind and cold every time I came here, which was a waste of material and possibly financial resources, which was more or less worth the loss.

Therefore, some unscrupulous people may not take a decent bath all winter.

In addition, Cheng Yao is not well-liked on weekdays. She does all the hard work, but it is not her turn to do good things.

Most likely, after washing several people, the water was muddy and smelly, and he didn't want to waste it, then he would think of her.

Cheng Yao lowered her head and sniffed. Fortunately, it was winter, so there was no smell.

It's just that the knotted hair and a little gray face look particularly awkward in front of the clean bedding.

Cheng Yao couldn't bear to go in like this in her conscience. She glanced at Cheng Duanli sheepishly and said in a low voice.

"I think I should take a shower now..."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Duanli said nothing, only showed a clear smile, and then motioned for her to follow.

Cheng Yao was a little confused, but she still followed him obediently.

"Squeak-"

Cheng Duanli pushed open the small door of a small room inside, and in the center of the room was a small steaming hot spring.

"I just didn't think well enough and ignored this matter."

"Don't worry, there is a ready-made hot spring here. You can take a bath and wait until your body is warm before going to bed." Cheng Yao's eyes widened in disbelief, and she walked around the small hot spring several times and asked in shock. .

"Why do you still have a hot spring at home?!"

Cheng Duanli took a few steps forward and explained.

"It didn't exist in the early years. Then one day I accidentally fell while playing around. I felt that the temperature in this area was obviously higher than other areas."

"So we found tools and dug out this area. The underground water came up and became the current hot spring."

"Then I built this cabin on top of the original foundation."

There were soft bedding and warm spring water here. Cheng Yao really didn't want to go home.

"Your home is so nice. To be honest, I don't even want to leave."

"Don't worry, I can't live in vain. Leave the rest of your meals to me, and I promise to make something delicious for you!"

"Okay, I believe you have the ability."

"I see you don't have a change of clothes yet. You are small. Let me find you some clothes from my childhood."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Duanli went out and walked into the house, while Cheng Yao looked around curiously.

"Here, this is clean, I'll put it here for you."

"You can go to bed early after washing up. I'm going to rest first."

Seeing that everything was in order, Cheng Duanli said a few words and went back to the house first.

Cheng Yao hummed happily, took off the dirty clothes she had worn for several days, and soaked happily in the hot spring.

"It's so comfortable! It's worth it."

Cheng Yao continued her leisure time in the bath and opened the system mall to redeem a small cake.

Cheng Yao, who hadn't eaten sweets for a long time, leaned on the edge of the hot spring and took a sip, tasting it in small sips.

Because she solved the big scourge of Wang Laizi, Cheng Yao's account points increased sharply, which was enough for her to live happily for a long time.

After solving the basic problem of food and clothing, we began to pursue higher-level things.

【Shocking price!150 points for beauty cream! 】

Cheng Yao was a little excited when she saw the beauty cream on sale today. Would you like to get 150 points and give it a try?

I bit my finger and struggled for a while, but finally couldn't hold it back and clicked the confirm button.

Looking at the beauty cream that appeared in her hand, Cheng Yao bought a matching mirror and applied it carefully.

Applying the cold beauty cream on her face made Cheng Yao's sleepy head sober up.

After smearing the entire face, carefully put the rest into your backpack.

This stuff is not cheap and cannot be wasted.

It is written on the product introduction that if you wait quietly for 5 minutes, you can see the intuitive improvement effect.

As long as you insist on using it, you can gradually bring out the maximum value of your own beauty.

For the first time, Cheng Yao felt that 5 minutes passed so long that she almost fell asleep...

Unconsciously, Cheng Yao's body began to slowly slide down.

When the water was almost up to her neck, Cheng Yao struggled to sit up. After washing off the beauty cream on her face, Cheng Yao picked up the mirror and took a closer look, and burst out with a scream.

"what--"

Cheng Duanli, who was about to fall asleep in the room, thought there was an accident when he heard Cheng Yao's exclamation.

He hurriedly got out of bed, not even having time to put on his shoes, and ran to the bathroom door and asked anxiously.

"Ayao? But something happened!"
