Bai Wanxi smiled brightly upon hearing Chi Jiao’s words. She quickly got up and smiled in joy. “Alright, wait for me. I’ll go wash up now!”
Everyone watched as Bai Wanxi left excitedly. In the end, Quan Jue asked in confusion, “She’s been dead for hundreds of years. Does she know how to use a tap?”
A shrill scream suddenly came from the washroom just as he finished speaking.
“Ahhh! Wha… What’s with the water? Jiaojiao, help!” Bai Wanxi cried out in panic. There was an uproar in the washroom.
Chi Jiao hurried into the washroom. She stepped on the water the moment she entered. Bai Wanxi had removed the tap from the sink and water was gushing out like a fountain. Bai Wanxi was trying her best to stop it.
Everyone, including Chi Jiao, was stunned upon looking at the mess in the washroom.
Bai Wanxi turned around and looked at her for help. “Jiaojiao, help me stop this monster that can sprout water!”
“Let go of it! Aiya, why are you fighting with the water pipe?” Chi Jiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this scene. She quickly came over and pulled Bai Wanxi away.
The moment Bai Wanxi let go, more water gushed out uncontrollably. Dumbfounded, she stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do.
Fortunately, Quan Jue closed the main valve below the sink and the water finally stopped flowing.
Bai Wanxi sighed with relief upon seeing this. She said with a long face, “I was nearly scared to death! Why is this monster so terrifying?!”
Chi Jiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She accepted a towel from Pei Yao and helped Bai Wanxi wipe her wet hair. “What monster? This isn’t a monster. This is called a tap. You can get water out with a gentle twist. You don’t have to use so much strength.”
Chi Jiao didn’t dare to imagine how much strength she had used when she thought about how Bai Wanxi had removed the entire tap.
Bai Wanxi looked like a child who had done something wrong when she heard this. She lowered her head timidly and mumbled, “I… I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“It’s my fault for not teaching you. Come here. I’ll teach you how to use hot water. You’re drenched. You need to take a warm bath, else you’ll catch a cold,” Chi Jiao said worriedly.
Unexpectedly, Bai Wanxi blinked as if she had thought of a good idea. “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Jiaojiao, can’t you just bathe with me?”
Quan Jue narrowed his eyes dangerously and walked towards Xu Ye with a dark expression.
“Wait, wait, wait! Mr. Quan Jue, calm down! This isn’t the real Xu Ye. That’s a girl on the inside!” Beitang Lie didn’t want to see Quan Jue kill Xu Ye, who was still innocently asleep the whole time. He would be so pitiful if he was beaten up through no fault of his own!
“You can take a bath on your own. Come here. Sister Pei Yao and I will teach you together. Bathe yourself after you master it. I’ll lead you out after you’re done. Otherwise, I won’t care about you anymore,” Chi Jiao told Bai Wanxi with a serious expression.
Bai Wanxi lowered her head dejectedly and nodded obediently when she heard this.
