Chapter 1605
Evening.
It's past eight o'clock.
Stars dot the sky, colorful and abundant.
After dinner, Zhang Longjuan happily leaned back on the recliner in the yard, gazing at the sky, lost in thought. Dong Xuebing took the initiative to take his bowl to the back and wash it. Looking at the time, it was getting late, and he was truly tired today.
"Sister Zhang."
"Yeah?"
"When will you rest?"
"Are you tired, little guy?"
"I've been busy all day. Of course, I'm tired."
"Haha, I know you did well today. Rest."
"Alright, then I'll take a shower first. You can go ahead if you want to."
"Look at the stars, so beautiful. The sky is clear today, and the stars are exceptionally stunning. Hey, I want to bathe in the yard. Bring the tub out for me."
"How can we bathe here?"
"There's nothing wrong with adding some romance."
"Even though there aren't many tall buildings around. But if someone climbs over the wall..."
"With you here, what do I have to fear? There's a wooden tub in the east house. Bring it out."
"This..."
"Hurry up."
"Alright, then."
"That's right. Did you check the water temperature?"
"It's fine. It's a bit hot but feels comfortable to bathe in."
"Let me know if it cools down, and I'll pour in another bucket. The heater is still on."
Smoking, drinking tea, and admiring the moon together, with someone keeping the water warm for her at all times, Zhang Longjuan was genuinely enjoying herself. After finishing a cigarette, she stretched her fair legs out of the water, placed her ankles on the tub's edge, and reached down to massage her legs.
"Do you need some bath gel?" Dong Xuebing asked.
"Not for now. We'll see later," Zhang Longjuan smiled.
Ah, look at her. She knows how to enjoy life.
Dong Xuebing also thought she was too good at it. This environment, this weather, and bathing in the courtyard were beautiful. Dong Xuebing had lived in a courtyard before, but his family's old house was too small, with too many neighbors. Although they were all familiar old neighbors, there were still boundaries between men and women. With so many people around, no one dared to bathe in the courtyard while admiring the moon. But now they had the conditions for it because they were the only ones living in this courtyard. Due to cultural preservation regulations, there weren't any tall buildings nearby. You can even sleep in the courtyard, where no one bothers you, as long as you don't mind getting bitten by mosquitoes and covered in bumps.
Buzzing.
Mention mosquitoes, and there they are.
It's almost the end of autumn, and there aren't many mosquitoes, but even one bite is uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Dong Xuebing brought a palm-leaf fan and started fanning the mosquitoes for Zhang Longjuan bathing there. Seeing how comfortable she looked, he also wanted to quickly go in for a wash, experiencing a bit of a petty-bourgeois lifestyle. After working so hard for many years, it would be a shame not to enjoy a few days.
"Little handsome guy." Sister Zhang called him.
"Yeah, what's up, Sister Zhang?" Dong Xuebing looked over.
"You've worn out today. I promised you a reward and compensation before, haha, do you want to come in and wash together?" Zhang Longjuan smiled.
Dong Xuebing hesitated, "How do we do that?"
"The tub is big enough. If we squeeze a bit, there's enough space," Zhang Longjuan said.
"That's not appropriate," Dong Xuebing was very awkward.
Zhang Longjuan, with a flirtatious air, said, "I will scrub your back for you. Come on, little handsome guy."
