Ancient Assassin Meets Modern-day Career Woman

Chapter 9: good smell

Views:

Ruan Qing wanted to get more surprise from Erqi, but Erqi took a step forward, flipped the faucet switch, watched the water flow out, then pressed it to turn it off, and smiled, "Got it, it's really convenient."

Ruan Qing was silent for a moment, then said unwillingly, "I noticed that you adapt very quickly. Aren't you surprised by these things, cars, lights, running water?"

"Of course I was surprised. But there's no need to be surprised all the time, you have to get used to it." Twenty-Seven raised an eyebrow and said, "Besides, these things were actually made by craftsmen, right? It's just that a thousand years have passed, and the craftsmanship has reached a level I couldn't have imagined."

"But in the final analysis, these things are made for people to use - cars are used to carry people and goods, lights are used for lighting, and water is used for washing and drinking. The technology may change a lot, but the purpose has never changed. It is enough for me to know what they are used for and how to use them."

These words were said in a way that Ruan Qing, a modern man, could not refute at all.

Finally she said, "Yes."

Twenty-seven: "?"

"Don't say 'bian', say 'jiu'." Ruan Qing said seriously, "'bian' is too formal nowadays. We all say 'jiu' in daily conversation. You have a lot of speaking habits that need to be changed."

Twenty-seven: "Okay."

"You can't drink tap water directly. If you really want to drink it, you have to boil it before drinking. But this usually doesn't happen." Ruan Qing took the opportunity to teach Erqi about modern life. "If you want to drink water, drink the water in the water dispenser. That's drinking water. Tap water can be used to wash your hands, face, and clothes, and it can also be used to flush the toilet, but don't drink it."

I took my ex-boyfriend’s clothes back to the room first, and took off all the sheets, pillowcases, etc. that had been used by that disgusting person and threw them on the ground first.

"Wood?" Twenty-Seven said, "It hasn't changed much. It's a little more refined. I wonder what material it is made of?"

Take this opportunity to quickly clean up the house. The house has never been so messy before, but today Twenty-Seven saw it. It's really depressing.

When 27 came, the timeline here should have developed to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was supposed to be very prosperous, so I don't know what the situation was like on 27's side.

"Ordinary people use toilet litters," said Twenty-Seven. "The rich and powerful use cotton paper. Many educated people criticize this, saying it is too extravagant."

Ruan Qing also taught him how to use the toilet and shower, and pointed out toilet paper to him and told him its purpose.

After teaching Erqi how to use all the equipment in the bathroom, Ruan Qing found a new toothbrush from the cupboard and gave it to him: "This is..."

"It's called a toothbrush now. It's made of plastic. Plastic is everywhere now." Ruan Qing casually pointed at some plastic products in the bathroom, such as cups and trash cans, and handed him toothpaste: "Toothpaste is for brushing teeth. Just squeeze a small piece."

Ruan Qing gave him all the toiletries and turned to leave the bathroom.

Twenty-seven twirled the toilet paper with his fingers and asked, "Do everyone living in this building use this?"

He was covered in sweat and blood. If he wasn't cleaned up, the bedding would be soiled.

"What about you guys at that time? Did you use paper?" Ruan Qing asked curiously.

Twenty-seven said, "I'll wipe it."

Question 27: "Tap water also...?"

By the way, in the Song Dynasty, tooth wood, tooth powder, and toothbrush medicine seemed to have been very mature.

This building looked tall and tall from a distance, with countless windows, and there must be more than a hundred households. He originally thought that if more than a hundred households on the same floor, or families with the same wealth living in similar buildings, could all use this water, this paper, and this toilet, it would be amazing. He didn't expect that according to Ruan Qing's words, all the people in the world would have the same access, which was incredible.

"There is tap water in the city. For example, in the community where I live, the water for bathing is hot 24 hours a day. You don't have to boil it yourself and you can take a bath anytime." Ruan Qing said, "However, some rural areas don't have tap water. They use groundwater. But there are also pressurized wells, which are very convenient and almost the same as tap water. Anyway, it is definitely much better than your time using wooden buckets to draw well water and river water."

27 sighed: "How could the lives of the people become so good?"

Ruan Qing said, "Everyone should use it. There is nothing else to use. But some people use the better quality ones, and some use the worse quality ones. The price is slightly different."

She also brought him a new towel and said, "You have injuries, so don't take a shower. Just wash your face and hands first."

Oh, that was the early days of toilet paper. Got it.

I went back to the living room, unfolded the folding sofa to make it a bed, put the sheets and pillows on it, and started sleeping.

Ershiqi's height looked about the same as her ex-boyfriend. Ruan Qing ran back to the room and found a set of her ex-boyfriend's home clothes from the closet. She came out and opened the bathroom door: "You wear this first..."

Twenty-seven suddenly turned his head and Ruan Qing stopped talking.

The man took off his shirt and wore only black pants. He was leaning slightly to one side, his naked body wrapped in white bandages, with blood oozing from two places.

The traditional cloth belt is used to tighten the waist, broad shoulders, arms, and back, and every muscle is so solid and powerful.

What kind of half-naked battle-damaged look is this!

If you post it on a short video platform, you will be called "husband"!

It can be said that this is the one that Ruan Qing has used the most!

But this is not some body-shaping up-master, this is a genuine ancient person.

Ruan Qing coughed and said, "You wear this first. This is home clothes, which is comfortable to wear at home and you can also wear it to sleep."

Twenty-Seven responded, "Thank you."

He was wiping his back with both hands.

"Let me help you." Ruan Qing put down her clothes first and walked over to take the towel from his hand. "It's bleeding, don't move."

At this moment, there was a wound on his body. It was really inconvenient to wipe his back with his backhand, which caused the wound to bleed again. Erqi did not refuse and gave the wet towel to Ruan Qing.

Ruan Qing stood behind him, carefully avoiding the wounds, and helped him wipe the blood and sweat off his back.

"Didn't the doctor ask you how you got these wounds?" she asked.

"I have lost my memory." Twenty-Seven smiled.

"Oh, yes." Ruan Qing muttered, "You reacted quickly."

"When I opened my eyes, it was like a completely different world. Everything was strange and different." Twenty-Seven turned sideways to look at Ruan Qing cleaning his back in the mirror and said softly, "How can I not be alert?"

Ruan Qing raised his head and glanced at him.

The man's profile has strong lines.

Ruan Qing likes this kind of heroic man. The wolfdog she raises is also of this type. But the wolfdog is still young and silly, and often exudes a sense of middle school spirit.

She is far inferior to the man in front of her. Ruan Qing lowered her eyes: "Don't you have any relatives left?"

"No," said Twenty-Seven, "I am an orphan and I have not yet married."

"What about fiancée? Lover? Romance? Confidante?" Ruan Qing asked.

"No." Twenty-Seven said, "It's just a casual affair, nothing will last forever."

Ruan Qing: "Oh."

Okay, he’s a mature man.

After wiping his back, Ruan Qing threw the towel to him: "Wash the front yourself. Throw the dirty clothes into the laundry basket, yes, the one with the plastic holes in it."

"By the way, this door can be locked. I forgot to tell you just now." Ruan Qing used to live with the little wolfdog. There were only two of them, so there was no need to lock the bathroom door, so he forgot for a moment.

The church locked and opened its doors on the 27th, and Ruan Qing went out.

She went back to her room, changed into her home clothes, and sat on the sofa waiting for Twenty-Seven to come out.

After a while, 27 called her in the bathroom: "Miss Ruan?"

Ruan Qing rushed to the bathroom door: "What's wrong?"

Question 27: "Is this the dress?"

Ruan Qing understood immediately and said happily: "Yes, that's it, short-sleeved shirt and shorts. Haven't you seen anyone wearing this in the hospital?"

There was no more sound in the bathroom, but the door was open.

What long legs.

Still straight... looks good!

The fabric of the home clothes is super soft and fits closely to the body, clearly outlining the shapes of the chest and arm muscles.

In short, it looks good!

Twenty-seven feels a little uncomfortable.

This housecoat has too little fabric, it's even worse than a pair of shorts.

He had sneaked into the land of the barbarians before, wearing a small vest with his chest and waist exposed, and he didn't feel uncomfortable. But that was a disguise for convenience. Now he was going to be alone in a small room with such a woman...

"Are you embarrassed?" Ruan Qing asked.

"Some. This material is really comfortable." Twenty-Seven tugged at the soft, close-fitting T-shirt on his body. "Do people dress like this now? They look like barbarians."

"Sir, times have changed." Ruan Qing said jokingly, "A thousand years have passed, the world has become warmer, and the summer temperature is much higher than it was in your time. The clothes you wore in your time will not last through the summer now, and you will get heat stroke and die."

"Everyone dresses like this now. It's normal to show your legs and arms. Girls even show more. When I take you out on the street, you'll see."

Twenty-seven looked strange.

Ruan Qing: "…What's wrong?"

Question 27: "Why do you call me 'Sir' when we are not related to each other?"

Ruan Qing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that the 27th century was equivalent to the Song Dynasty, and "adult" in that period meant "father".

Shit! She knew it clearly, but she was used to calling officials "sir" in TV dramas.

Ruan Qing rubbed his forehead and said, "The language has changed, and the meaning of the words is different."

Naturally, Twenty-Seven could only say "Oh", "So that's how it is."

Ruan Qing pointed to the sofa bed and said, "You can sleep here first. Just make do with it. I'll see what to do in two days."

It was clearly a seat just now, but now it has become a bed. Twenty-seven finds it interesting that there are many new and interesting things a thousand years later.

He said, "Excuse me."

Ruan Qing: “An ancient term.”

Twenty-seven asked back: "Then what should I say?"

Ruan Qing said: "In this situation, you can just say thank you or you can say 'thank you'."

Twenty-seven learned it.

Ruan Qing asked Erqi to go to bed first: "I turned off the lights."

The lights in the living room were turned off, but Ruan Qing did not go back to her room—Twenty-seven had just occupied the bathroom, and she had not washed up yet. She went to the bathroom.

Erqi could hear the sounds from the bathroom in the darkened living room. It was not because the bathroom door was not soundproof, but Erqi's hearing was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

The sound of the water was a bit loud. She not only washed her face and brushed her teeth, but also took a shower.

Ruan Qing did take a quick shower, and when he came out he vaguely saw Erqi already lying down.

She asked, "Is it ok? Is the bed hard?"

Twenty-Seven's voice came from the darkness: "Very soft."

"Okay then. Let's go to sleep first." Ruan Qing said, "We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything. Don't think too much."

In the darkness, Twenty-Seven's voice rang out: "...Okay."

Ruan Qing walked past and returned to his room. The light briefly illuminated half of the hall, then disappeared as the door closed.

The living room returned to darkness and Twenty-Seven heard the door being locked.

The path she walked left a lingering scent in the air.

Twenty-Seven didn’t know that this was the scent of shower gel, she just thought it smelled very good.
