There was no one in the bathroom.
The bathtub was filled with water, and from Su Mian's angle, one could see the water rippling slightly, and it was completely dark.
He didn't drown in it, did he?
Su Mian's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately rushed over!
Duan Xuanyu!
She walked to the edge of the bathtub, bent down to try and pull him out, Duan Xuanyu suddenly sat up in the bathtub, grabbed her neck and pulled her down!
Thump!
Su Mian fell into the bathtub, bumping into his chest. Warm steam rose, filling the small bathroom with a hazy mist.
Su Mian quickly helped him sit up by his arm.
The two people were crammed into the small bathtub, barely able to move.
She raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes and stared straight at him.
His hair was wet, dripping water that slid down his long neck, into his firm chest, and then onto his strong, muscular waist...
He smiled, pulled her into his arms, and chuckled softly in her ear, "I told you you cared about me."
Su Mian: "..."
It's hard now. The fist has hardened.
Su Mian grabbed his neck and shoved him into the water. "You dared to ambush me!"
You've got some nerve!
"From the past to the present, when have you ever successfully plotted against me?"
Duan Xuanyu: "... No... glug glug glug... I didn't... glug glug glug... Wife, I was wrong... glug glug glug..."
-
The fierce fight ended.
Duan Xuanyu was kicked out of the bathtub by Su Mian.
He stepped out of the bathtub, draped a towel over himself, and gently shook his head, scattering water droplets.
Su Mian laughed.
Anyone who's ever washed a dog knows that.
This is how you shake off the water after washing the dog.
Duan Xuanyu turned around. "What are you laughing at?"
Su Mian remained silent.
She had to wait for him to leave before she could take a shower, so she got out of the bathtub, walked up to him, and poked him.
It was still hard and hadn't softened at all.
She asked curiously, "Why have you been here for so long?"
Duan Xuanyu pointed to the sink drain. "This isn't working; I've been trying to fix it for ages."
"Is it all fixed yet?"
Still no.
Su Mian went over and drained the water to observe.
The drain doesn't seem to be blocked by hair.
It's possible that the coating wasn't applied properly and got clogged with cement, but it wasn't completely blocked; water can still drain through it after it's been cleared.
Su Mian: "Let's do it tomorrow morning. Go and hang up my mosquito net for me."
Duan Xuanyu: "Mine is already hung up. Should we hang two mosquito nets?"
Su Mian looked up at him, but didn't say a word.
"... Okay." Duan Xuanyu, feeling wronged.
-
The small house next door.
Lin Xi couldn't sleep at all.
I've been lying down for just a short while and I already have several mosquito bites.
He remembered that Cheng Qin had mosquito coils and floral water given to her by Su Mian.
He mentally prepared himself for a moment before going over to knock on Cheng Qin's door.
Cheng Qin asked nervously and warily, "What do you want to do!"
Lin Xi: "... Lend me some floral water and mosquito coils."
Cheng Qin breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door, and gave it to him.
While we're at it, I'll also make other things clear to him. "I'm not interested in men right now. The reason I'm on this show is because I have a new script with a similar theme, and I'm here to gather material."
Lin Xi: "Okay."
Cheng Qin: "I'm interested in Mianmian. My new drama's female lead is set up like that."
Lin Xi recalled her inexplicable hostility towards Su Mian at the beginning, the misunderstanding in the previous chapter about Su Mian framing Fang Nuonuo, and the real dream that caused her untimely death...
He had been looking for an opportunity to make amends.
"Actually, I'm the same," he said.
-
Next door.
In the lowest, most dilapidated house.
Fang Nuonuo couldn't sleep at all because of the mosquito bites.
Gu Yichen is alright.
Because he was familiar with pharmacology, he found a herb that could repel mosquitoes.
But he actually used it himself!
She didn't ask for it, and he just wouldn't give it to her!
Fang Nuonuo realized once again that he was indeed not interested in the female guests.
Fang Nuonuo was so angry that she paced back and forth in the public area for a long time, debating whether to knock on his door and ask him for some grass.
Suddenly, the door to Gu Yichen's room opened.
He went outside to get a drink of water.
Fang Nuonuo followed and asked, " Teacher Gu, can I have some of your mosquito repellent plants?"
Gu Yichen nodded. "Okay."
"Thank you." Fang Nuonuo couldn't contain her curiosity. " Teacher Gu, if I may ask, what is your real purpose in participating in this dating reality show? It doesn't seem like you're here to find love."
Gu Yichen was silent for a few seconds before answering, "My mom sent me."
Fang Nuonuo understood.
It is very common for sons in families where the son marries into the wife's family to listen to their mothers.
But he doesn't seem to be a complete mama's boy.
Because when he did what his mother asked him to do, he just went through the motions and wasn't particularly enthusiastic.
He simply didn't dare disobey his mother, so he used this attitude as a form of subtle resistance.
She seemed like a young lady from a scholarly family during the Republican era.
She needs someone who has studied abroad and has a broad perspective to help her break free from the shackles of her family.
Fang Nuonuo smiled slightly, "I see."
He would soon realize that she was the unconventional, broad-minded person he knew.
Fang Nuonuo took the mosquito-repellent plant back to her room.
I had just lain down when I received a message from my agent.
"I've already made the arrangements for you. Find some time to go there."
Fang Nuonuo's smile widened.
In this episode, she plans to do something really, really good.
A good thing that has absolutely no negative aspects.
If doing such a good deed can't turn defeat into victory, then this world has truly gone mad!
She went online and browsed today's trending topics.
I won't go into the comments about the Cotton Candy manual fan comments during the day.
These things at night...
#So Sweet! Mianmian: Honey, say something!#
#Emperor and Empress fans are celebrating the New Year! They're even calling each other "husband"!#
Tyrant Bro: Don't let me know next time you cheat on me!#
#A man with this kind of magnanimity will succeed at anything#
Fang Nuonuo sneered.
What is the value of these topics and the level of discussion they generate?
The news that is about to happen to her is what matters.
" Su Mian, this time, I will definitely reclaim the glory that belongs to me!"
-
In the early hours of the morning, the dedicated production team had already released the information about each household from the previous night.
Through the editing skills of professional editors, each one is filled with ambiguity.
Lin Xi knocked on Cheng Qin's door in the middle of the night, and Gu Yichen and Fang Nuonuo couldn't sleep and chatted late into the night...
Su Mian and Duan Xuanyu were even more significant – they actually went into the bathroom together!
Although the camera didn't capture the inside, the sound was played.
"Whoosh... I told you you cared about me..." "Gurgle gurgle..." "Wife..."
[I heard it! While it was gurgling, Tyrant Bro even whispered "Wife!"]
[Ahhh, their performance last night was really intense!]
[This is so upsetting! What were those two doing in the bathroom last night?!]
[Even if we take a step back and say we can't record in the bathroom too!]
The program began amidst lively discussion from the audience.
The staff went out early in the morning to deliver breakfast to each group.
The guests were all respectable people.
Most people eat breakfast normally.
Quiet, harmonious, and loving.
Only Su Mian and Duan Xuanyu's group...
