385 What’s Done Is Done
Mr. Wang lived in his youngest son’s house, which was bought from someone else when they split up two years ago. There were two bedrooms and a living room. There was also a small room specifically used to store food. The kitchen and bathroom were all built with wooden boards and thatch. After they had moved in, they only repaired the living room and master bedroom. The rest of the place had not been renovated. The house occupied a large area, but it was relatively simple and crude.
After the guests entered the house, Mr. Wang poured two bowls of hawthorn tea for the two of them to drink and said with a polite smile, “There’s no good tea, but hawthorn tea can quench your thirst. Please don’t mind.” ...
Yu Bing hurriedly replied, “I like drinking hawthorn tea.”
Mr. Wang then said to the two of them, “The amount you want is too big, so it won’t be easy to gather it in a short period of time. You guys will probably have to stay at my house tonight.”
As long as they could get enough in quantity, they would agree to stay for two nights, let alone one night.
There were bedrooms on both sides of the living room. The master bedroom was on the left, and the second bedroom was on the right. Mr. Wang turned to Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng as he said, “The two of you will stay in the room on the right tonight, but no one has been living there, so it’s a little damp. I’ll clean it up for you guys now.”
Without waiting for their reaction, Mr. Wang went to clean up.
Only then did Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng realize the trouble caused by their fake identities. They exchanged looks in shock before looking away awkwardly.
Xiao Sheng was secretly happy, but he naturally didn’t dare to show it on his face. When he saw Mr. Wang enter the room to clean, he hurriedly followed him in. “Mr. Wang, I’ll do it. Don’t worry about it.”
When Yu Bing heard this, she also followed him in. She was really embarrassed to trouble an old man to clean her room, so she said, “Mr. Wang, we’ll do it ourselves!”
Xiao Sheng snatched the rag from Mr. Wang’s hand. When Mr. Wang saw that the two of them were in the room, he immediately felt that he was a third wheel, so he smiled and said, “Then I won’t insist. You guys can clean up. I’ll go look for my old friend to see if there’s any flour he wants to sell.”
Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng hurriedly agreed. Then, Mr. Wang left.
What was done was done, so they definitely had to stay in the same room tonight. Yu Bing took the rag from Xiao Sheng’s hand without hesitation. “Go sweep the spider webs in the corner. Some of them are too high for me to sweep.”
Xiao Sheng’s face was a little flushed. After agreeing, he went to the door to find a small broom and a long broom. One was used to sweep the spider webs, and the other was used to sweep the floor. Then, the two of them cleaned up in silence.
Yu Bing turned around and stole a glance at Xiao Sheng, who was looking up at the spider web in the corner of the roof with a focused expression. The light from the window shone on the side of his face. He had a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a perfect jawline. Perhaps it was because the roof was a little dusty, but he frowned slightly. However, this expression didn’t affect his handsome appearance. Yu Bing was mesmerized and stopped wiping the desk.
When Xiao Sheng felt a gaze on him, he turned his head and saw from the corner of his eye that Yu Bing was staring at him in a daze. He couldn’t help but smile.
This scene suddenly made Yu Bing realize what it meant to have beautiful scenery at her fingertips, but it also made her come back to her senses.
She hurriedly lowered her head and continued to wipe the table. She was originally blushing after being caught, but on second thought, beautiful people and things were meant to be appreciated, so she grinned and let out a low laugh.
The corners of Xiao Sheng’s mouth curled up and in the end, he couldn’t help but laugh as well. The two of them stopped acting bashful and laughed softly as they worked.
Although she didn’t know why, she felt that everything at this moment made her want to laugh to express the joy in her heart.
There wasn’t much furniture in the house. The bed was made of wooden boards and stools. There were two old-fashioned four-cornered long stools in the structure of a falcon. They were placed one in front of the other and supported by a wooden board that was two meters long and 1.3 meters wide.
There was also a desk and a chair, as well as two large wooden boxes piled in the house. They were probably used to store miscellaneous items.
Because no one had been living there, Xiao Sheng moved the bed to the courtyard. Then, he cleaned it with clear water and placed it under the sun to dry. Yu Bing wiped the mat on it and placed it in the shade to dry.
