Bai Meiyue filled the bathing tubs and a few buckets with water before returning to the first floor. She glanced at Lei Qian and spoke to him, "There is water in the bathroom on the second floor. You can take it back home and take a bath with it." she really couldn’t take this smell anymore.
"What? You mean there is enough water for us to take a bath?" Yun Chuan was quite excited when he heard Bai Meiyue’s words. Behind him, Yang Chunhua almost shed tears of happiness because she was feeling too emotional. Water. There was water for her to take a bath.
When was the last time she took a good bath instead of using a dirty rag dipped in the murky and fishy water to wipe her body? She couldn’t even remember it. It hadn’t been that long since the end of the world started but for some reason, the days of peace and comfort seemed so far away that Yang Chunhuan felt like those days were ages ago.
She wasn’t the only one; Mo He and Wan Guofu were also excited upon hearing that there was enough water for them to take a bath. Mo He was so happy that he wanted to scream.
However, Lei Qian was still polite, as he didn’t want to put too much pressure on Bai Meiyue. He asked, "Is there really water for us to take a bath?" It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Bai Meiyue; it was just that there was not even enough water to drink so how could there be water to take a bath?
The last thing he wanted was to use the drinking water saved by the Bai family to take a bath.
"That’s right, Miss Bai." Lu Yin, who had been standing quietly on the side, couldn’t help but chime in. "There is no need to stretch yourself so much. After all, the world has already ended. There is no point in trying to impress others."
"What? Do you think that we will waste our precious drinking water to impress you?" Bai Jixuan snorted. "Who do you think you are? Even the heavenly king cannot make us take out our drinking water. Do you think you are more powerful than him?"
He snorted. "Impress you. As if!"
Lu Yin’s face turned red. She wanted to say something but before she could, Lu Yu clenched her wrist and pulled her back.
"What did you say before leaving the house?" he reminded her. Unlike Bai Meiyue, who could kill Lu Yin without blinking her eyes, Lu Yu couldn’t do the same.
More importantly, Lu Yin promised him that she would be on her best behaviour. So what was she doing now?
Lu Yin pursed her lips and lowered her head. Her heart was filled with resentment. She felt angry and upset upon being scolded. Why!? Why was her brother so against her and Brother Qian being together? Even though he knew that she liked Lei Qian, her brother never helped her and even told her that she was being foolish.
"I apologise," Lu Yu glanced at his sister, who stood next to him with her head lowered. He then raised his head and politely said to Bai Jixuan and Bai Meiyue, "My sister was rude; I will apologise for her actions."
