I write novels in Liyue

After a pleasant meal together, they didn't go home until night fell.

Volume 1: Chapter 434 (Fang Qiu's New Book?) (Two Volumes Combined) (Please Subscribe)

The traveler and Paimon had other things to do, so only Shen He and Fang Qiu went home this time.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter."

As soon as Fang Qiu entered the courtyard, Tingyu in his arms bounced up and jumped to the ground, starting her after-dinner walk.

Fang Qiu stretched and looked at the starry night sky, then chuckled and said.

Outside the courtyard, the chirping of insects filled the air, creating a vibrant scene of life and all things thriving.

The courtyard was completely silent.

Fortunately, there are many insect-repelling and snake-repelling plants in the yard; otherwise, a lush green courtyard like mine would be a disaster zone.

It's normal for centipedes or ants to run out, but if a snake suddenly appears, that would be terrifying.

"Yes."

Shen He followed behind Fang Qiu and nodded.

"After that, shall we go shopping for summer clothes together? I heard they also sell swimsuits."

Fang Qiu said.

"Swimsuit? What's that?"

Shen He tilted his head slightly.

"Um... it's the clothes you wear when swimming or taking a shower."

Fang Qiu said.

"I still don't understand, why do we need to wear clothes to take a bath?"

Shen He shook his head, a hint of confusion in his blank eyes.

"You'll find out when the time comes. Miss Keqing is going too. She said she's also going to ask Miss Ganyu out. I don't know if Miss Ganyu will go."

Fang Qiu said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll reduce my fieldwork recently."

Shen He nodded.

Having agreed to go shopping for summer clothes together, Fang Qiu and Shen He walked into the hall together.

Upon entering the house, Fang Qiu went back to her room and took off all but her underwear, then chose a nightgown for Shen He as well.

Then she pulled Shen He along and they went to the bathroom.

She's been feeling really stifled these past few days in the Abyss of Layered Rocks.

Due to limited water resources, they could only perform the most basic cleaning.

For a moment, Fang Qiu felt as if he had returned to the port when he arrived in Teyvat.

Taking a bath has become a very difficult thing.

Now that we're back in Liyue Harbor, it's only natural that I want to take a nice, relaxing bath.

She took Shen He with her, along with two small wooden stools, and sat down at the shower area.

The shower area is large enough for several people to shower together.

After taking a warm shower, Fang Qiu took out a milky white block and began to apply it to her body.

The milky white lump would leave a thin layer of foam as it glided across the skin.

This is a cleaning soap imported from Fontainebleau.

Its function is similar to that of soap.

It's quite popular in Liyue Harbor, and it's said that Ningguang and Keqing use it as well.

Aside from being a bit slippery, it has no other drawbacks.

However, the slippery nature of soap was a problem that was difficult to solve even in the past. Later, scientists skipped the development of non-slippery soap and invented shower gel instead.

Ok……

That should be right, right?

She wasn't too sure either, after all, in her previous life, technology was so advanced that they could even make flour from air.

So... she wasn't quite sure if anyone had actually developed a non-slip soap.

But no matter how you look at it, soap that isn't slippery is pointless.

Just as Fang Qiu was thinking this, with a "snap," the soap in Shen He's hand slipped and fell to the ground.

It slid a short distance on the ground and stopped in front of Fang Qiu.

"Fang Qiu, could you help me pick this up?"

Shen He asked.

"Uh?"

Fang Qiu was taken aback.

She suddenly realized that non-slip soap might actually be quite significant...

Especially in prison.

After all, soap slippery surfaces are a terrible thing...

This absurd idea only lingered in Fang Qiu's mind for a moment before he dismissed it.

She and Shen He are both girls, so this kind of thing doesn't exist.

So, Fang Qiu took a step forward and bent down to pick up the soap.

However, just as she bent down to grab the soap, she felt her foot slip and she fell forward.

"ah."

Fang Qiu's expression changed, and she cried out in surprise, quickly covering her face with her hands. However, the pain she had imagined did not come.

Instead, a slippery sensation came from behind, and the touch of a hand was felt in front of her.

Before Fang Qiu could react, a force came from him.

The ground, which was originally very close to my face, gradually receded into the distance.

"Are you okay?"

Shen He's voice came from behind. Feeling the smooth and soft touch behind him, Fang Qiu immediately understood what had happened.

Shen He hugged himself from behind.

That's exactly the kind of slippery, seductive way soap works...

"No...it's nothing."

Fang Qiu's pretty face flushed red instantly, and she stammered.

"It's good that you're alright."

Shen He said.

"Um... Shen He, I've regained my footing, you can let go now..."

After a moment of silence, seeing that Shen He showed no intention of letting go or backing down, Fang Qiu finally spoke, her face flushed.

"Ah."

Shen He nodded, released Fang Qiu's waist, took a step back, and moved away from Fang Qiu's body.

"Here, take it."

Fang Qiu handed the soap to Shen He, who caught it very steadily.

To avoid slipping, Fang Qiu sat on a small stool and continued applying soap.

However, when she tried to apply soap to her back, she ran into trouble again.

A renowned bread connoisseur once said that there are limits to human capabilities.

For example, washing your back.

Even in my past life, this was an absolute problem. It's very difficult for a person to reach behind their back, and even if they do, it's hard to exert force.

Therefore, Fang Qiu has to put in a lot of effort every time she washes her back.

Just as Fang Qiu was carefully and laboriously controlling the soap to scrub her back, Shen He grabbed Fang Qiu's hand and said, "Let me help you."

"Huh?"

Fang Qiu was taken aback.

"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?"

Shen He asked.

"No no."

Fang Qiu quickly shook his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen He took the soap from her hand and started wiping her down.

After rubbing her with soap, Shen He used his hands to rub her back.

Fang Qiu couldn't help but smile softly.

This feels like something out of an anime.

"Okay, let's go take a bath."

Fang Qiu blushed and looked at Shen He, then said...

Although a minor mishap occurred—Shen He's back-rubbing gesture went a bit too far—fortunately, it wasn't intentional. She had simply read in a senior's book how junior sisters rubbed each other's backs and mistakenly assumed that was the normal way girls rub each other's backs. So, she used the method from the book on herself…

Besides, it is said that Shen He saw a pair of sisters from the Guhua School bathing in the same way at a public bathhouse...
