However, when she thought that, no matter what, the person outside was indeed her lawful and dutiful husband, she began conjuring up excuses in her heart, telling herself, don’t be afraid, it’s just a bath after all!
Gently peeling off her dress, Liu Sisi carefully folded them and stowed them aside, and then slowly immersed herself into the water.
The water was slightly hot as she settled into the large wooden barrel, she breathed out a long sigh of satisfaction.
Nothing could beat the feel of a warm bath!
She hurriedly first drenched her hair, but encountered a problem while scrubbing—she had completely forgotten to bring any bathing essentials!
She blamed herself for being so careless and forgetful. What did they use to bathe and wash hair during this era?
Despite Di Yelei waiting outside the door, Liu Sisi tried calling out several times but her voice just wouldn’t come out. She dejectedly sat in the large wooden barrel and continued to daydream.
Thump, thump!
A knocking sound echoed, instinctively causing Liu Sisi’s heart to tighten.
“Sisi, I’ve brought soapberries and bath beans for you. You can come and get them,”
Di Yelei’s deep voice echoed from beyond the door.
“Ah? Coming, coming!”
Liu Sisi was pleasantly surprised internally. It was like whatever came to her mind somehow became reality. Disregarding everything else, she hastily grabbed the clothes she had just taken off, haphazardly dressed, and then walked to the door. She only slightly opened the wooden door of the firewood room.
“Di, Ye Lei,”
Before Liu Sisi could finish speaking a large hand reached through the cracked open door, and Di Yelei’s voice came through the door panel, “Sisi, here are the soapberries and bath beans. I saw that you’d forgotten to bring them, so I purposely retrieved them for you.”
“Thank, thank you…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she quickly grabbed the things from him and promptly shut the door to the firewood room. She stood breathlessly up against the door, her heart pounding.
