The house became quiet for a while, and even the steaming water vapor in the air seemed to condense.

There was a panicked sound from the opposite side, and then, a familiar but somewhat startled voice: "Madam?"

"..."

This voice is——Liu Qinghan?!

I immediately grabbed the kerchief in my hand and wrapped it around myself: "You, how could you-"

Looking up at this room and the screen, I understood it immediately.

This place can be regarded as an official residence in Longnan City, but it is so simple, so the bathing place will not be too gorgeous. Moreover, Tu Shuhan is not married, and this is a frontier fortress, so naturally there are no female dependents, so the bathroom will not be as detailed.

Even in some folk bathrooms I have been to before, men and women are separated by hanging a curtain in the middle. Tu Shuhan was probably afraid that we would be too particular, so he added a screen.

I remembered what the maid said just now - "I won't let you two get too far away". It turns out that this is what she said.

In fact, this is common and nothing serious.

But...

I gritted my teeth and tightened the kerchief around my body.

At this time, Liu Qinghan probably came to his senses. He coughed slightly in embarrassment and said with a sly smile: "They are really simple here."

"Yeah."

"I thought it would be a separate bathroom."

"I thought so too."

"Madam..."

"Huh?"

"You, take a shower first."

"What about you?"

"I have a window here, I'll take a look at the scenery later."

"..."

Large areas of snow-white skin on the shoulders and collarbones were exposed. Although the water vapor in the bathroom was steaming, it still had a slight chill. After a while, tiny goosebumps appeared on the skin, making me shrink slightly.

Looking at the warm bath water in the bathtub is really endless temptation for me now.

I thought about it, picked up the clean towel hanging on the other side, walked to the edge of the bath, gently soaked the towel in water, and then slowly wiped my arms.

The warm water pressed against the slightly cool skin, making me shiver.

The sound of water sounded, and the man on the other side had already opened the window and seemed to take a long breath.

For the next time, the bathroom was extremely quiet, with only the faint sound of water, and even the breathing of the two people could be heard. I wiped my left arm clean, then wiped it on the other side, and then knelt by the pool to comb my long hair.

I washed it. The warm water temperature made me feel so comfortable that I couldn’t help but sigh. However, the other end of the bathroom was still quiet.

I thought for a while and said, "Mr. Liu."

"Huh?"

"What can you see over there?"

"Buildings, houses. Many houses."

"Does it look good?"

"Haha, this is a border town after all, and the scenery is far less beautiful than that of Chengdu."

"Master Liu, do you like Chengdu?"

"I like it. Not only is the climate good, but the scenery is also good. It can be called a gentle place."

"Tender land?" When I heard this description, I couldn't help but smile. I twisted the kerchief to wet it, then slowly wiped my neck and collarbone, and said, "Sichuan is indeed a good place for health and leisure.

But I think it’s best not to stay long, sir.”

"Why?"

"As the saying goes, if you are young and don't go to Sichuan, you will never leave Shu if you are old. Young people should have the world in mind. If after entering Sichuan, you linger in the leisure and tranquility of Shu and don't want to go back, then your life's ambitions will be in vain, and it will be difficult to achieve great things. Sir

Now is the time when you are young and promising. Don't fall into the gentle countryside of Shu and not make progress. Then the court will lose a pillar and the people will lose a good parent and official."

"Haha." He chuckled: "Madam, I'm making fun of you again."

I also smiled, washed the towel, twisted it until it was moist, and continued to wipe my body.

As time went by, I was almost done scrubbing. Although I didn't go into the bathtub to take a deep soak, it was very comfortable to be able to scrub like this after so many days of travel and dust.

On the other hand, the person on the other side of the bathroom hasn't even touched the water yet.

The water drops on my body brought my wet hair to my chest, and I wiped it gently. I was about to tell him that I had washed it and asked him to wash it too, when I heard a low sound from the other side: "

Huh".

My ears are still good. Although the sound was very small, I heard it very clearly. I quickly raised my head and asked: "What's wrong?"

It was quiet and silent on the other side.

I frowned: "Mr. Liu?"

"..."

"Liu Qinghan?"

"..."

There was silence on the other side again, and then I heard him agree: "Yeah."

"What's wrong?"

"..."

"What happened?"

"..."

He fell silent again, without saying a word, as if he was looking at something or thinking about something. I became more and more confused, so I walked to the edge of the screen and knocked lightly: "What's wrong with you?"
p>

His hesitant voice came from the other side: "No, it's nothing."

"What's going on?"

"..." He was silent again, then suddenly knocked on the wall on one side of the bathroom and asked: "Madam, which side of the city is this side?"

I listened and replied: "To the east."

He murmured: "Chengdong..."

The east of the city is the place I saw through the open window when I passed by the promenade just now. I couldn't help but become more and more confused: "What happened to the east of the city? What did you see?"

He remained silent and did not speak.

Just when I wanted to continue asking, suddenly, my door and his door were knocked at the same time. Someone asked from outside: "Dear guest, have you finished bathing?"

"Ah?"

He let out a low cry of surprise, and then I remembered that I had washed it by then, but he hadn't moved yet. Thinking of this, I hurriedly said to the door: "Wait a minute, I haven't finished it yet!"

The maid outside the door immediately said: "I'm sorry."

I turned to the other side of the screen and whispered: "You should wash up quickly first. If anything happens, we will talk about it later."

"Okay!"

He agreed hastily, and immediately heard the sound of taking off clothes from the other side, and then with a splash, the water in the bathhouse rippled.

I have been scrubbing for so long, and the bath water has already become cold. I wonder if he will catch a cold while soaking like this.

But...

Recalling the days when we were in Jixiang Village and after we got married, he would go out and take a cold shower every night. Maybe there would be no problem.

With this thought, the sound of rushing water came from the opposite side, and after a while, I heard the sound of him walking out of the bath.

My long hair was half-dried and was spread moistly on the back of my head. After he had put on his clothes, we walked out from the doors on both sides.

There was a maid waiting outside. She took me to a room and combed my hair for a while. After she was not so rude, she took me back and said, "Dear guest, the general has already given a banquet. Please treat your guest."

Come with us."

I nodded and followed them. However, when walking through the long corridor, I remembered Liu Qinghan's strange behavior in the bathroom just now, and wanted to go to the window again to see what happened.

He saw something, but when I walked there, I found that the window had been closed.

I didn't have time to open the window anymore, so I could only follow the maid and walked forward. When I got downstairs and walked to the place where I separated from Liu Qinghan before, I realized that the sky was already dark, and there were all hanging lights on the porches around me.

The lanterns were lit, and the bright red light made the earth building look particularly dim.

On the other side of the corridor, a group of people walked over.
