Chapter 29
Isn't that thing supposed to strengthen one's physique?
"Try again?"
Liu Dong shoved the remaining half of the brick into her hand.
She twisted it forcefully—
Click!
It broke again.
This time, however, it didn't hurt at all; my palms felt warm and relaxed.
"Really?!" She stared at her hands, her eyes shining. "Brother Liu Dong, you're amazing! This wine must be brewed by the gods!"
"I love you to death!" She pounced on him and hugged him tightly.
The two sat down to eat again.
About ten minutes later, Chen Xueru suddenly blushed and said, "Brother Liu Dong... I've had too much to drink, I need to go to the restroom, do you have one?"
Liu Dong was worried: "The house hasn't been repaired... but there's a public toilet in the front yard, men's on the left and women's on the right, it's just that the environment is a bit poor."
"It's alright, I don't mind!" she said and walked out.
In less than a minute, he rushed back, his face flushed.
"So fast?" Liu Dong asked. "Is it resolved?"
"No!" she whispered. "I just got to the door and saw a guy from your compound fall into the urinal! He's still lying there, filthy and stinking!"
No need to guess, it must be Jia Dongxu.
Liu Dong suppressed a laugh, his lips twitching.
To make matters worse, a large group of men were gathered at the entrance of the women's restroom watching the commotion, making it impossible for Chen Xueru to go in.
She could only blush and run back the way she came.
"What do we do now?"
Liu Dong looked at Chen Xueru, feeling a little uneasy.
Chen Xueru waved her hand: "It's okay... I didn't really have to go anyway, I can just wait a bit. I can sneak over there after everyone leaves!"
"OK!"
Liu Dong responded.
The two continued chatting casually.
About half an hour later, Chen Xueru's body suddenly trembled.
"What's wrong?" Liu Dong immediately sat up straight. "Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm not sick..." she gave a wry smile, her face scrunched up, "It's just... I really couldn't hold it in anymore..."
"I'll go check outside. I guess no one's at the restrooms anymore?"
Chen Xueru stood up and walked out!
A minute later, she turned back.
"I'm doomed..." She almost burst into tears.
Liu Dong asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xueru gritted her teeth: "The sanitation workers are here, cleaning the women's restroom! The stench is overwhelming, and they won't be finishing anytime soon. What are we going to do?"
They had no idea that the incident of Jia Dongxu falling into the latrine had already caused a huge uproar!
At first, Jia Dongxu slipped and fell into the cesspool, yelling for help.
Several people went in one after another, but none of them were willing to lend a hand—it was disgusting!
He had to climb up by himself, but as soon as he poked his head out, he slipped and tumbled back down with a "plop," swallowing several mouthfuls of filth.
When they finally managed to pull him out of the sewage with a pole, his eyes were rolling back, and he was lying on the ground, unable to move.
Old Jia had to run to a convenience store to make a phone call before the hospital ambulance arrived and took him away.
Upon hearing that something serious had happened, the local authorities immediately sent people to investigate.
An investigation revealed a problem: the public toilet hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and the feces were piled up more than a basin.
To prevent further deaths, the neighborhood committee immediately ordered workers to conduct a surprise cleanup!
Now, one accident has affected many people, directly causing Chen Xueru's bladder to suffer.
"Brother Liu Dong, what should I do?" Chen Xueru grabbed Liu Dong's arm and shook it violently. Her whole body was shaking, and her trouser legs were about to fall down. She was about to lose control.
"How about..." Liu Dong glanced at the floor inside, "you take care of it inside? I'll clean it up afterwards!"
"Oh no! It's filthy!" She shook her head vigorously.
"Then let's use a basin?"
"Absolutely not!" Her brows furrowed. "How can you use food for this!"
Later, Liu Dong even brought out a wine jar, but she still refused it outright.
"So what exactly do you want?!"
Liu Dong was almost in tears, "Grandma, you really can't force yourself to pee, it'll damage your kidneys!"
In fact, Chen Xueru had already made up her mind.
Her eyes darted around, then she suddenly looked at the potted plant on the windowsill and pouted, "Brother Liu Dong, could you bring that cactus over here for a moment..."
"The soil is cracked, and it looks very thirsty. I'll water it and save its life."
"Smart!" Liu Dong gave a thumbs up and turned around to move the large flowerpot over.
This cactus is huge, and the flowerpot underneath is also quite wide—perfect as an emergency container.
The flowerpots were moved into the bedroom.
"Don't peek!" Chen Xueru glared at him, went inside, and closed the door behind her.
peep?
Liu Dong chuckled.
He's not that kind of despicable person.
Why would you spy on your partner when they're handling their affairs?
That's just too much!
He picked up the washbasin and went out to fill it with water—so she could wash her hands and feel refreshed after she finished her work.
As soon as I entered, a soft voice called from inside: "Brother Liu Dong, is that you?"
"It's me. I got you some water. Would you like some?"
"Yes!" she said. "Bring it in."
Liu Dong carried the water into the bedroom.
The man was already dressed, but his face still looked grim, as if he had just been in a battle.
"Um..." she pointed to the corner, "Get that cactus that's 'successfully watered' out of here!"
"Okay, okay..."
Liu Dong carried the wet flowerpot outside and placed it on the steps to the right of the eaves.
There were rustling sounds inside the room for about ten minutes, then the door was pushed open a crack, and Chen Xueru poked her head out with a pained expression: "Brother Liu Dong, come here for a second..."
"What's wrong now?"
He went inside.
She grabbed his arm, burying her head almost in his chest: "I...I accidentally...got pricked by a thorn on a cactus..."
"I've been trying to remove it for ages, but I still feel like there are a few splinters stuck inside. I can't get them all out, and it's burning painful..."
hiss--
Oh my god!
Liu Dong's lips twitched: "Big sister, how old are you? How can you still be so clumsy?"
He was fretting when he suddenly remembered that he had given her a bone-strengthening wine before—wasn't that stuff supposed to improve physical fitness?
Why are you afraid of a few small thorns?
Chen Xueru didn't look up, but her face was as red as a freshly cooked hairy crab: "Please help me...you're practically my boyfriend now!"
"OK!"
Liu Dong gritted his teeth, "Step aside a bit, I'll handle this for you!"
Done in less than three minutes.
"Ding-dong—"
A voice suddenly rang in my mind: "The Super Brewing System has issued a story mission!"
"Prompt: Chen Xueru's affection for the host has reached its peak, and she has developed genuine feelings. A hidden quest has been triggered. Accept?"
"Accepted: A reward of 888 million RMB + a [musical wine vat]"
"Rejection: The reward remains 888 million RMB + one [musical wine vat]"
【whether】
The system is quite sensible; you can't lose out no matter which option you choose.
Looking at the shy, slightly breathless girl before him, and seeing the affection in her eyes, Liu Dong lightly tapped his finger—[Yes].
