Chapter 124: Delivering soup (1)

Chapter 124 – Delivering soup (1)

Li Man turned her head to the side to look at the very dark night that was outside the window. She suddenly felt annoyed. Why had she drunk so much soup for dinner? What’s more, she had been too busy with laying out her bed before sleeping to remember to go the outhouse. Truly, when it rains, it pours. It was totally Li Shu’s fault. If he hadn’t been loitering by her bed and distracting her, something like this wouldn’t have happened.

After feeling irritated for a while, Li Man decisively decided to ignore this physiological response. She would go to sleep. Anyways, once she was asleep, she wouldn’t feel anything.

However, once she closed her eyes, she felt an even stronger urge to pee.

Damn it!

Silently cursing in her mind, Li Man sat up. She couldn’t resist the need to pee. Her movement was already very light, but even so, the bamboo couch still made loud creaking sounds. Flustered, she looked in the direction of the heated bed. She was worried that she would wake someone up.

Fortunately, there was no movement from that side. She quickly got up from the couch and fumbled her way through putting on her shoes, then she tiptoed her way outside.

On the heated bed, Li Mo turned his head to the side. He was puzzled as he watched that small figure quietly opening the door and going outside.

What was she doing? It was pitch-black outside.

Worried, Li Mo nimbly got up and went outside to look.

On the other side of the door, Li Man had stopped by dirt wall. She felt conflicted. She wanted to go to the outhouse, but it was too dark outside. Moreover, even though she couldn’t see it, she knew that the courtyard was still muddy. But, if she didn’t go to the outhouse, what was her other option? Pee here? Right by the door?

Suddenly, the door opened. Startled, Li Man shrunk back towards the wall. “Who is it?”

Li Mo was worried that she would be scared and quickly answered, “It’s me.”

As soon as Li Man saw his tall, strong figure, she had guessed that it was Li Mo. Her heart slightly relaxed. “Why did you come out?” It couldn’t be that he wanted to go the outhouse too, right? If so, could she ask him, hey, can I tag along since you’re going that way?

Li Mo also wanted to ask her the same thing. “It’s so late. Why are you standing out here?”

“Ah? I…” Li Man felt embarrassed. But, fortunately, it was very dark outside. Since she could only see his silhouette and wasn’t able to see his expression, she wasn’t too nervous. And so, she honestly explained, “I want to go to the outhouse.”

Li Mo’s thoughts came to a screeching halt. Although he couldn’t clearly see her face because of the dim lighting, he could imagine how conflicted her expression would look when she said those words. Suppressing his urge to smile, he said in a very casual voice, “Oh, the outhouse. It’s very wet out there. I’ll go with you.”

Li Man bit her lip and politely refused, “Ah, that’s okay. I can go by myself.”

Li Mo narrowed his eyes and deeply stared at her. “Wait here, I’ll go light a lamp. It’s too dark out here.”

Li Man hesitated for a moment, but seeing that he had already gone inside, she could only say, “Umm, okay then.”

Li Mo quickly came back with a small oil lamp. The pale yellow light wasn’t able to go far, but it was enough to vaguely show the nearby spots that were too muddy.

Li Man rubbed her somewhat old embroidered shoes against each other.

Li Mo stopped in front of her and half-crouched down. “Get on.”

“Ah?” Li Man stared at his wide back in shock.

Sensing that she wasn’t moving, Li Mo turned his head and said, “It’s not easy to walk over there. Get on, I’ll carry you there.”

Ah, needing someone to give her a piggyback ride just to go the outhouse… Wasn’t this a bit too…
