Lin Xi’er: “…”
Su Yanbin thought, So you aren’t a girl?!
Lin Xi’er and Su Yanbin exchanged looks. Frowning, Lin Xi’er revealed a defeated expression on her face.
Then, the two of them entered the small house.
When they entered the house, Zhuang Nainai had already grabbed a cleaning rag and started wiping the table seriously and enthusiastically.
Lin Xi’er: “Nainai, haven’t… you wiped this place already?”
“Have I?” Lost, Zhuang Nainai blinked before saying, “I don’t remember. But this place is so dirty. I’ll just wipe it again.”
Lin Xi’er: “…”
Hence, everyone simply looked at her redoing everything that she had already done. In particular, she mopped the floor with even more vigor — so much so that they could not help but worry for the floor! It was as if the floor would crack if she had used a little more force!
Moreover!
This house had a cement floor instead of a wooden or tiled one, so was there really a need to clean it so well?!
After she finished mopping the floor, she proceeded to wash the dishes. Lin Xi’er offered to help, but she was stopped. “Don’t. Don’t. The water is cold. A girl like you shouldn’t do this!”
Lin Xi’er: “…”
Upon seeing that Zhuang Nainai was going to move the cupboard in the living room that Si Zhengting had bought, Si Zhengting rushed forward and helped her. However, he was stopped by her too. “No, young master. You shouldn’t do laborious work like this. Move away!”
Su Yanbin: “…”
Finally, there was nothing else in the house that she could clean. Every corner was tidy and sparkling. The three of them heaved a sigh of relief. It’s time for Zhuang Nainai to take a rest now, right?
However, to their horror, after she walked around the house for a while, her gaze landed on the heater resting in a corner of the house.
Si Zhengting had installed the electric heater especially for her because he was afraid that she would be cold. It made the house very warm.
But it was installed on the wall, so it was difficult to remove it.
Upon staring at it for a moment, Zhuang Nainai turned around and walked away.
When she came back, she was holding a hammer.
As usual, Su Yanbin and Lin Xi’er could not stand her actions. Hence, they rushed forward. “Nainai, Nainai, stay calm!”
“Nainai, Nainai. This heater didn’t do anything. Don’t do anything foolish!”
Zhuang Nainai looked at the two of them. “Make way. I just want to dismantle the heater to give it a wash. The weather is warm now, so there is no use for this.”
Lin Xi’er: “…Can the heater be dismantled and cleaned?”
Su Yanbin chirped in, “Nainai, if you want to trick us, shouldn’t you think of a better excuse?”
After Zhuang Nainai heard this, she was dazed. Moments later, she sighed. This sigh sounded extremely depressing and suffocating. She said, “But I don’t feel good whenever I see this heater.”
As soon as she said this, Lin Xi’er and Su Yanbin were rendered speechless.
All of a sudden, the room became silent.
After about three seconds, Xu Dazhi, who had not spoken at all, suddenly moved.
Without saying anything, he strode forward and took the hammer from Zhuang Nainai. Thereafter, he raised his arm, aimed at a spot, and knocked the heater!
After the heater was dismantled, the house returned to its original state when Zhuang Nainai and her mother used to live here.
Zhuang Nainai seemed to be satisfied at last. Furthermore, she seemed to have used up every ounce of energy she had. Thus, she sat on the couch quietly and spaced out.
