Electronic Nezha

Chapter 98 Bathing
We moved all our goods inside, and the milk tea on Chen Feng's face and head had dripped into his collar, staining his expensive-looking shirt with an unsightly yellow hue.

"You just let him leave like that?" Sister Zhao said, still indignant. It seemed she wanted to see the domineering CEO beat up the thug.

Chen Feng unbuttoned his shirt and asked, "What's that person's name?"

"Zhang Biao".

Chen Feng said calmly, "Don't worry, it won't end like this."

Old Wang patted him on the shoulder: "Just for what you said, I'll treat you to a bath."

"Take a bath?" Chen Feng looked at Li Ping expectantly.

Old Wang said, "Don't even think about it. We haven't even taken the goods yet, and you're already thinking of treating people to a meal? — Take a shower first."

Chen Feng asked, "How do you intend to wash it?"

Old Wang laughed: "How do you want to wash it?"

I said, "The kind of person your brother Wang can afford is definitely not the kind you're thinking of."

"Which kind of washing do I want? I don't like washing..."

Old Wang said impatiently, "Stop playing games, are you coming or not?"

Chen Feng said to the person in charge who came to pick up the goods, "Prepare a new set of clothes for me, and deliver it in a bit—"

Old Wang said directly to the man, "Public bathhouse."

The person in charge said, "Okay, Mr. Chen, do you need the clothes you took off dry cleaned?"

"unnecessary."

"I understand."

The three of us men walked towards the market gate and ran into Aunt Xu and Hao Hao.

Since that night when Hao Hao bravely fought off four thugs, we've only seen each other once in recent days and haven't even had a chance to speak. This time when we met, Hao Hao kept giving me suggestive looks.

I greeted Aunt Xu first, and then said directly to her, "Aunt Xu, we're going to take a shower. Would you like Hao Hao to come with me?"

Aunt Xu thought I was just being polite and quickly said, "That won't do, it would cause so much trouble."

Old Wang also tugged at my sleeve. He was enthusiastic, but he had to take responsibility for this deal.

"No trouble at all, I'll scrub you clean and bring it out. Does he usually have trouble taking a bath?"

"Of course... but please don't trouble yourself."

I joked, "Are you afraid I'll sell him?" I regretted it immediately. Even though the idiot's brain is damaged, the rest of his body parts are all top-notch…

Seeing that I was sincere, Old Wang also said to Aunt Xu, "Anyway, you know his stall. The Liu family can't just work for two lifetimes for your stupid son, can they?"

Aunt Xu then hesitantly handed me the end of the rope around Hao Hao's waist: "This is really too much trouble, considering we're not related..."

"It's no big deal. By the way, we'll have lunch at the bathhouse too, so don't bother preparing anything for him."

Aunt Xu repeatedly reminded him that Hao Hao had been to the bathhouse a few times with his uncle before. Although he couldn't take off his clothes by himself, he would cooperate once you started.

A public bathhouse, as the name suggests, is a bathhouse for the general public to bathe in. No, that's not sophisticated enough. Let me put it another way:

As the name suggests
Just
For the public

Bathing tub
Hey, a modern poem.

The public bathhouse is an old bathhouse with a long history. It is not far from the cold storage. The main customers are the regulars from the nearby communities. Occasionally, there are rare customers from other districts who come to experience traditional bathing. In short, it basically only serves locals.

As soon as you enter the bathhouse, you're hit by a wave of steam. An older masseur brings out four pairs of plastic slippers for each person. As Old Wang changes his shoes, he says to Chen Feng, "You've never been to a bathhouse with such poor conditions before, have you?"

Chen Feng said unhappily, "Brother Wang, don't have stereotypes. I've suffered before."

"I can tell you've suffered before, but you stopped, right? Let me show you the feeling of remembering the bitter past and appreciating the sweet present." Old Wang took a card from the front desk and said to Chen Feng, "Today it's all on me. If you sneak off to pay the bill later, I'll get angry."

Chen Feng said, "Okay, Mr. Wang."

Old Wang then said to me, "Take good care of your silly brother, don't let the old lady really lose him."

Chen Feng asked, "What's wrong with this brother?" He could also tell that Hao Hao had intellectual disabilities.

I said, "You were sick when you were a child, so just think of him as a chair."

"Brother Feng is still kind-hearted."

Upon entering the changing area, Chen Feng's unease was immediately apparent. The place was filled with naked men; those who had finished showering would find a spot to brew tea, snacks, and smoke while chatting. Some, more refined, wore the bathhouse's pajamas and shorts, while others were completely naked, drying themselves off and patting the water off their bodies as they smoked. Chen Feng, a pampered and privileged boss, had probablyn't seen anything like this in years.

With my "help," Hao Hao successfully took off his clothes. The idiot has a really good figure, with broad shoulders, a wide back, and well-proportioned muscles. People always say that when God closes a door, he opens a window. The idiot's door is welded shut, but the window is decorated with pretty paper-cut window decorations...

Fortunately, with Liu Zhenhua's chip, the door was finally able to squeeze out, albeit barely.

Upon arriving at the bathing area, where steam filled the air, Lao Wang jumped into the pool first, while Chen Feng secretly ran to a shower and faced the wall, letting the water wash over him.

I pulled Hao Hao into the pool, and Lao Wang rubbed his arm a couple of times and said, "Hmm, cleaner than me. Aunt Xu must have put in a lot of effort."

I went down into the pool myself, got used to the water temperature, and then sat down in the water with a comfortable "yoho!"

Old Wang soaked in the tub for a while before going to greet Chen Feng. Hao Hao and I hid in a corner of the tub, and with the help of the steam, we were finally able to talk.

"Brother Feng, please take me away quickly."

"what happened?"

“I don’t care that I can’t speak, but I can’t do anything. One day, a piece of egg fell on the table while we were eating, and I picked it up myself. My mom was happy for a long time. If this continues, she’ll definitely find out something.”

I sighed and said, "It's wrong to lie to her, but I'm afraid she won't be able to handle the truth."

Hao Hao said, "At worst, I'll just tell the truth and go back to see her more often in the future."

I asked, "Are you her son?"

Hao Hao paused for a moment before saying, "In terms of bloodline... yes."

I said decisively, "Then you're not." I suddenly realized that Hao Hao's situation was the typical "your son isn't human." He was supported by a chip and had no connection with Aunt Xu. Although he was "better" than before, if I were in his shoes, I couldn't stand it if this happened to Liu Zhenhua. Even if my dad suddenly became a refined and learned person who didn't actually know me, I wouldn't accept it!

Even if someone offered to give me a monthly subsidy of 10,000 yuan instead of my 20,000 yuan retirement pension, I wouldn't do it!
With a "plop," Old Wang jumped back into the pool and casually asked me, "What are you and Hao Hao talking about?" Then he himself was startled by his own question, "Weren't you two talking the whole time?"

"Are you heatstroke?" I quickly changed the subject. "Why isn't President Chen coming down yet?"

"He said he wasn't used to soaking in the pool, so I asked a masseur to scrub his back for him. Guess what he said?"

"What do you mean?" I don't care what he says, I'm just afraid he'll bring up Hao Hao again.

“He said he’s not used to people touching his body—if you come to a bathhouse and don’t get a scrub, what’s the point of coming?” Old Wang said, then suddenly pointed at Hao Hao and shouted to the scrub master, “Master, give our silly brother a scrub and a salt bath.”
