VOLUME 8 CHAPTER 74: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS A TRIP TO LIU QI’S MANSION (1)
Liu Bei POV
“Ah, it’s so hot!” I exclaimed as I fanned myself vigorously with a leaf fan as I sat in the courtyard. Even though we aren’t all that far from the river, the weather’s so cruelly hot, and there isn’t even the slightest of breezes to alleviate the heat.
“It’s nothing unusual, big brother, that’s what it’s like in the south.” Yun Chang with a slightly tired expression as she sat beside me, “From what my friends from the south tell me, unbearable heat is a sign that rain is near.”
The cruelty of the sun made me bury my head deeply. As I maintained that position, I spied at Yun Chang from the side and saw that she had done away with that thick outer coat of hers and was now wearing a thin, white dress with both sleeves rolled up to her shoulders, revealing thin and white arms. When the sun shone down on her, her dress seemed rather sheer and revealed her undergarments rather clearly.
(TL: By undergarments, it means 肚兜. Some sort of ap.r.o.n like cloth covering the chest and torso. Go ahead and Google it, it’s mostly SFW.)
“I’ve heard that from you many times over already but this evil weather is already into its 3rd day now.” I looked for a bit but then felt bad about it and hurriedly s.h.i.+fted my gaze away as I spoke up. I must say, compared to how stern and serious she usually looks with her long coat, this new look is rather refres.h.i.+ng and suits her more.
Of course, I won’t say this.
“The weather is indeed weird.” Yun Chang very seriously criticised the weather as she frowned, looking rather cute in her current outfit.
“Yeah.”
Even though I really want to say that there is a ravis.h.i.+ng young girl beside me whose beauty can make me forget any torture from the elements, reality isn’t quite so romantic and the hot weather is hot nonetheless.
“Ah~~~ It’s so hot I’m going to die~~~~” Along with a yell, a figure came bursting out from the room, past the doorway, leapt down the steps and did a small twirl in the courtyard.
When I looked over, I found that it was Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang’s clothing hasn’t changed much, she’s still wearing a sleeveless top along with a short skirt. The only thing that’s changed is that she’s taken off her long black socks, revealing shapely, white legs.
For someone like me who already thought Zhou Cang was a work of art physically speaking, this brought great enjoyment. If only she wasn’t such a weirdo, she would be perfect.
As I thought so, I got curious at what Zhou Cang was up to now, “Zhou Cang, what are you–”
“It’s so d.a.m.n hot!!”
“So hot~”
Before I could finish, another 2 people came running out of the room, past the doorway, leapt down the steps and did a small twirl in the courtyard.
Ah, these 2 are… Guan Ping and little Mi Zhen. Their clothing doesn’t seem to have changed much from the outside but it’s clear that they’re wearing less than before.
“Twirl a bit faster, you girls.”
“Alright!”
“Ah, so hot, so hot~”
Zhou Cang actually gave further orders and moved off with the other 2 in tow.
“Oi, Guan Ping, what are you lot doing?”
“Ah, mother–”
“Please don’t call me that.” Yun Chang swiftly interrupted and corrected Guan Ping.
“–We heard that Zhou Cang has a good idea to allow one to cool oneself quickly so we came to try it out.”
But Yun Chang’s efforts were in vain as Guan Ping ignored her admonition.
A good idea huh… I can’t see how running under the burning sun is a good idea.
I looked at Yun Chang and saw that she was clueless as well so I decided to ask the main perpetrator. If Zhou Cang’s idea really does work, then I might try it out myself.
“Zhou Cang, what are you doing? Can you really cool down quickly this way?”
