Chapter 56: The Toilet Crisis (2/2)
The missus glared at him with an expression that said stop talking nonsense. Even though he wasn’t a celestial, but he was a master who needed their service even more than a celestial. As a servant, they should just do their duties properly. As for other matters, they should avoid talking about things that they don’t have to talk about.
It was exactly because of this that they had never been fired by Master and were able to work in the Plum Garden for so many years. In addition, Master even helped to arrange a stable lifestyle for them and their later generations were also given guaranteed protection. Even without anything else, just the last guaranteed condition was enough for them to be deeply grateful towards Baili Yu.
The missus’s thoughts were simple. After she exhorted everyone not to gossip about this in the courtyard, she stood outside the latrine to wait for Tang Doudou to come out.
Today was the Plum Garden Gathering so their men and daughters have all went out to busy with the event. Only the married women were left here, waiting for Lady Meng Yu to arrive and bring everyone along to prepare today’s lunch banquet.
But it had already been so long, yet Lady Meng Yu still hasn’t arrived. She was afraid that if they delayed the lunch banquet, they would be punished by Master. Lady Meng Yu was greatly valued so she would definitely be fine, but their circumstances weren’t the same. That’s why, she wanted to get information about Meng Yu from Tang Doudou and find out whether she was going to come. If she wasn’t coming, then they’d have to start thinking of ideas ah!
But how could it have occurred to Tang Doudou that there was actually someone outside waiting for her to come out? At this current moment, she was extremely conflicted. This problem was finally dealt with, but now a new problem has shown up.
What is she going to use to wipe?
Her gaze landed on the bamboo chunk stuck in the left side of the latrine. Just looking at that thin piece, she felt her chrysanthemum hurt. So there wasn’t even the need to mention the time when she saw the post online about how ancient people used this block of bamboo. Just thinking about it caused her to feel fierce disgust. Then, she lifted her head forty-five degrees up to look speechlessly at the sky. Do you dare to let a couple rolls of toilet paper experience the fun of transmigration?
The answer was nope.
Back when she was in the Plum Garden, it was still okay because Baili Yu, that damned nouveau riche liked comfort and to enjoy life. So she, who was brought along, could still use fine writing paper. Even though the hardness of that paper was still quite a pain on the ass, but it was still acceptable ah!
But this bamboo chunk… Tang Doudou retrieved her gaze and rubbed her numb legs, extremely distressed.
If only she had a phone ah. Then she could call Qing Yin and have her bring some writing paper over…
Slapping this unrealistic thought flying with a palm, Tang Doudou then recalled that when she had just arrived, there were quite a lot of people in the courtyard. If she called loudly, they’d probably be able to hear her?
And so, she cleared her throat, then shouted, “Is anyone outside?”
She didn’t shout that loud because she felt a bit embarrassed and what if someone just so happened to be passing by right outside? But the odds of this was so low that she didn’t expect it to be true at all. After she opened her mouth, the skin of her face got a lot thicker so she gave another cough and was just about to shout again.
But unexpectedly, a deep voice came from outside, “There is.”
…
If it weren’t for that fact that she was squatting over a hole, Tang Doudou would’ve jumped from the shock. Jesus ah! Mu Ye that ghost! Why hasn’t the soul of the deceased dispersed yet!? Why did he follow her over again!?
That’s right, the one that had replied to Tang Doudou was Mu Ye.
As for that missus, she had already long left and gone somewhere.
Mu Ye was outside. Tang Doudou’s heart suddenly started thumping nonstop. God ah, you can’t play like this. All she was doing was squatting over a hole and she also didn’t do any shameful deeds this lifetime ah, why must she be given such bad luck!?
Mu Ye who was standing outside was still in a black robe as before, but the robe this time was also slightly different from before. The black robe today had dark gold thread embroidery in intricate decorative designs that were conspicuously dignified and domineering. Some strands of hair were left hanging in front of his forehead to obstruct the view of his ice-cold blue pupils, and the hair on the back of his head was half tied up and half left draping over his broad shoulders. This manner of dressing actually softened the cold aura he gave off and increased his demonic charm.
If Tang Doudou had crawled out this moment, she’d definitely be stunned by him again.
But sadly, she was still biting her thumb and staring dumbly at the latrine door, completely stupefied. She was actually being trapped inside the bathroom by someone.
This is something that only happens to elementary school kids, alright?
Just like the time when she was little, she remembered that she went to pull down the pants of the little handsome in the class next door. After she ran seven or eight circles around the playground while being chased by the little handsome, she ran into the restroom to hide and refused to come out, allowing that little handsome to stand guard outside the bathroom. He had to watch helplessly as she made akanbe faces at him because he didn’t dare to go in to catch her. He even called her a little lecher and wanted her to take responsibility.
In the end, the little handsome was taken away by a teacher for a scolding. His pitiful and tearful little face as he was being taking away bothered her so much that she felt guilty for the following few days. In the end, she went and apologized to that little handsome and they became good friends.
Time rushed past like a white colt (rest of the saying: like a white colt passing through a country). In a blink she had transmigrated to another space-time, yet past events were actually reoccuring and she had been trapped in a bathroom again.
Tang Doudou was very distressed ah. Even more distressed than the time she had transmigrated over.
Say, Mu Ye was such a big demonic head and the Demonic Sect was such a big sect, so shouldn’t he have a lot of matters to take care of? Why does he always seem like someone with nothing to do and always come find her for trouble?
Where exactly had she offended this da ye? Or was it that Li Xueyi, that guy had stolen his underwear? That’s why he would hate her this much?
If it’s really the case, she’ll just apologize, alright?
Alright, she’s definitely overthinking things this way. But even if he’s looking for her to settle a debt, trapping someone inside a restroom isn’t a game that people, as adults, should play ah. Tang Doudou thought about it, and felt like she couldn’t continue to be silent like this. At the very least, if there’s a matter, he should still let her get out of the bathroom before they discuss it, right?
Just as she finished thinking things over and was about to speak, Mu Ye who was outside spoke first. But what he said actually thundered Tang Doudou to the point that she was scorched on the outside and tender inside.
What he said was this: “I know you’re in there.”T/N2
His voice, was as always, cold without a trace of emotion. After saying that, he paused for a time length of several breaths, before speaking again, “Let’s make a deal.”
