Buy a Double bathtub and Have a Bath Together

"Alright, alright! I'll go find her now!" Gao Huabin realized there was no way to resist and surrendered. He placed the notebook under Qin Kaize's pillow and got up to leave.

As he walked out, he collided with a young lady who was rushing into the courtyard.

The impact of his muscular body against Su Yijia's shoulder made her wince in pain. She took two steps back, grimacing.

"Sister-in-law?" Gao Huabin looked somewhat unsure at the girl before him.

"You must be the comrade that Uncle Xia assigned for Kaize, right? I might trouble you for a while in the coming days," Su Yijia quickly greeted him politely. She needed to maintain a good relationship with this person so that she wouldn't hesitate to ask for his help when she needed to go out and have some time to herself.

"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. Big Brother had saved my life; taking care of him is the least I can do," Gao Huabin expressed his loyalty.

Su Yijia didn't dwell on it; she let his words pass through one ear and out the other. "Sorry, I went out and ended up taking longer than expected. I bought something." She raised the two spare ribs and a piece of winter melon she had bought.

Without waiting for Gao Huabin's reaction, she walked into Qin Kaize's room. She took out paper and a pencil from her bag, sat down by the bed, and displayed the spare ribs and winter melon in front of Qin Kaize.

"Sorry, I went for a stroll, and time slipped away from me. Look, I bought you some food to make amends. Can you forgive me, please?" Su Yijia reached out and poked Qin Kaize's chest, acting a bit spoiled.

Although Qin Kaize couldn't feel anything in his body, her affectionate tone caused a slight reduction in the dark expression in his eyes.

His gaze roved over Su Yijia, wanting to see if she was alright, but the bloodstains on her clothes made the chilling glint in his eyes reappear.

The now-alert Gao Huabin hurriedly entered the room.

"Sister-in-law, I noticed bloodstains on your clothes. Are you injured?" His worried gaze was fixed on the girl sitting by the bed.

"It's not my blood; it's from the human traffickers," Su Yijia quickly recounted everything that had happened today. In the end, she added with some irritation, "If it weren't for them deceiving me, I would have been back earlier. I don't even know if the police will catch their accomplices tonight."

"They will!" Qin Kaize blinked twice to show affirmation.

Su Yijia's eyes lit up with happiness, forming two crescent moons. "I also have faith in them. That's why I rushed back to prepare something delicious for you. The dishes in the kitchen are either too sweet or too spicy. You should eat something light for now. I've made spare ribs and winter melon soup, and I'll use this soup to make congee. You should eat more; this way, you can have a balanced diet with both staple food, meat, and vegetables, which is good for your health. As for these spare ribs, your comrade and I will deal with them."

Qin Kaize's eyes gradually softened as he continued to gaze at her. His gaze fixed on Su Yijia until she left the room with her things, and the warmth still lingered.

Seeing his expression, Gao Huabin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "Big Brother, you must really like Sister-in-law, right? I also think she's quite pretty, and she's so caring, with a strong sense of justice," he said as he sat back on the bed, expressing his admiration.

However, he noticed the look of disdain and wariness in Qin Kaize's eyes. What did he say wrong?

Gao Huabin scratched his head in confusion. But just as the flames of curiosity were ignited, Su Yijia, who was now taking care of the spare ribs, was completely unaware of the undercurrents in the room.

Standing in Qin Mingcheng's room, she stared at her reflection in the mirror, feeling dumbfounded. How could this be?!

The woman in the mirror had a sallow complexion, rough skin, and hair like dry straw. Was this really her? And she used this appearance to attract Qin Kaize? She had even tried to be seductive, kissed him, and acted all coy...

She couldn't believe it! She tried to scratch a hole in the ground and buried herself inside. Although this body had attractive facial features, the combination of these few flaws made Qin Kaize completely out of her league. If anyone saw them together, they would think that she was a toad craving for the meat of a swan.

[Ding, ding, ding! Host, your new mission has arrived. As long as you can personally help Qin Kaize take a fragrant bath, you can activate the third skill and obtain the formula for Whitening Lotion.] System 666 immediately intervened as if it had heard Su Yijia's complaints.

Su Yijia felt delighted and quickly opened the task to check the required ingredients. Although there were up to twenty-three types of herbs, and she could only produce five liters at a time, the system's products were definitely reliable.

She calmly closed the panel, organized all the dowry items she had brought, and brought them back to Qin Kaize's room.

"Sister-in-law, let me take care of these heavy items," Gao Huabin hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Su Yijia declined, saying, "It's okay, it's just a few steps, and it's troublesome to hand them over."

She squeezed in front of the wardrobe and firmly said to Qin Kaize without discussion, "We are already married, and half of your wardrobe belongs to me."

Qin Kaize blinked twice to show his agreement.

Satisfied, Su Yijia snorted and continued packing.

Gao Huabin stood in the room, feeling a bit superfluous, and decided to go outside for some fresh air.

Hearing him about to leave, Su Yijia stopped collecting clothes and turned around, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "Could you do me a favor and buy a large bathtub? I want to give Kaize a proper bath. Although a wipe-down in the summer is fine, it's nothing compared to a refreshing bath. Since Kaize is lying in bed all the time, his body is weak, so cold water couldn't do. I want a bathtub large enough for him to sit in comfortably. This way, I won't have to exert too much effort. It would be even better if it's big enough for me to sit in as well, so it'll be more convenient."

Gao Huabin's face turned red all of a sudden, and he didn't dare to lift his head. "Alright... alright!" He turned to leave in a hurry.

Su Yijia stopped him.

"Wait, take the money."

She took out all the money she had earned today from her pocket, a total of 71 yuan, and handed it to Gao Huabin. She kept only 0.81 yuan for herself.

"I don't know if this money is enough. If it's not, consider it a loan from me, and I'll repay you with the coupon in a few days," Su Yijia said uncertainly. She hadn't seen the price of a bathtub at the supply and marketing cooperative, so she decided to give extra money to avoid any suspicion of taking advantage of Qin Kaize's friend.

"What are you doing, sis? How can I accept your money?" Gao Huabin firmly refused.

However, Su Yijia insisted on stuffing the money into his pocket. "Helping take care of Kaize is already a huge favor, how can I let you put in both effort and money? If you don't take it, we won't dare to ask you for help in the future. Besides, you should know Kaize better than me; he definitely won't agree to take advantage of you. If you don't take it, he'll be angry with me, which does little good for his recovery. We need to keep him in a good mood all the time for his health."

Gao Huabin had no choice but to accept. "Alright, sis, I'll go buy it now."

"Please go and come back quickly. We'll wait for you to have dinner together," Su Yijia said as she smelled the aroma of the meat soup.

She had only thought about buying the bathtub quickly, completing the task, and obtaining the golden finger skill just now. However, she forgot that it was almost time for dinner. Now, sending Qin Kaize's friend to buy the bathtub seemed almost like not wanting him to have dinner together.
