"Alright, alright, it was my fault earlier, I shouldn’t have scolded you, A Yao."
No matter if Bai Chenyao could understand or not, Gu Tiantian still apologized for her earlier emotional outburst.
Then, she started to consider how to rest.
After thinking it over, Gu Tiantian’s gaze repeatedly drifted to the northwest room with only one bed. Finally, with a grit of her teeth, she decided to tolerate it.
Special tis call for special asures, and besides, Bai Chenyao is like an innocent child now.
When Bai Chenyao wasn’t like this, sleeping next to him might have been dangerous, but now...
As for the things she said before, Gu Tiantian chose to completely ignore them.
Giving a glance at Bai Chenyao, who was still silently watching her, Gu Tiantian looked outside again.
"Co on, let’s go wash up!"
Despite saying that, when Gu Tiantian took Bai Chenyao’s hand out of the northwest room and circled the courtyard once, she only found two buckets and a water tank. Noticing there wasn’t much water in them, Gu Tiantian frowned.
Honestly, she really wanted a bath.
But in this unfamiliar place, with so little water at ho, bathing was simply unrealistic.
Looking over at Bai Chenyao, she saw him curiously eyeing the water tank, and Gu Tiantian chuckled softly.
"Today we can only clean up a bit and make do with it."
Rembering an empty basin in the northwest room, Gu Tiantian hurriedly turned back to get it, filled it with half a basin of water, and started to wash up.
She finished quickly, then changed the water for Bai Chenyao.
Seeing Bai Chenyao frowning and seemingly conflicted while looking at the basin, and then at her with a silently puzzled expression, Gu Tiantian rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
Could it be that she also needed to help him wash?
After a nearly minute-long stare-down with Bai Chenyao, Gu Tiantian surrendered again.
But, how could she know he couldn’t do it without trying?
"A Yao, wash your face yourself, just like I did earlier."
Watching Bai Chenyao nod and even slightly curl his lips into a gentle, pure smile, bright like the moon, radiant and glittering,
Gu Tiantian couldn’t help but blink, secretly thinking that when this person wasn’t stoic, his smile was just overwhelmingly beautiful.
But then, when she looked again, Bai Chenyao had almost soaked his entire upper body. Gu Tiantian felt like a flock of crows flew over her head and hurriedly pulled him back.
"A Yao, hold on, let help you wash!"
Bai Chenyao looked up, his handso and delicate face covered in water droplets. In the faint moonlight, he looked even more exquisite and attractive, with an incredible soft and gentle elegance.
His shiny bright eyes, like pearls or glass, were clean and beautiful, gone was the previous profound darkness, now they seed so real and pure that one couldn’t help but want to get closer.
With his thin lips slightly pressed, and thick brows slightly furrowed, he seed also confused about how he ended up like this. Then, with water pearls adorning his eyes, they beca even more moist and clear, looking even brighter than before.
Gu Tiantian took a deep breath and quickly looked away, lest she be swayed by Bai Chenyao’s charm.
"Look at you, washing your face... ah... it’s almost like taking a bath!"
But it’s already autumn now, and there’s not much water, otherwise, she might as well let Bai Chenyao have a bath.
After she finished washing Bai Chenyao’s face, and his hands and everything, and tidied everything up, when the two finally returned to the northwest room, it was already half an hour later.
Lying down on the small bed, watching Bai Chenyao trying to cuddle over, Gu Tiantian frowned.
"Lie still, or you’ll have to sleep on the floor!"
If it weren’t for him being all innocent and goofy now, Gu Tiantian would definitely make him sleep on the floor without hesitation!
