Chapter 1033: Chapter 1033: And You’re Still Acting Like An Outsider With Me?

Shen Mianmian: "..."

Was she overthinking it?

Seeing her embarrassed expression, He Nan’s smile deepened, "I just said I’d help you get clean clothes and prepare hot water. What are you thinking about?"

Even if she was willing, He Nan wouldn’t bathe her, because he knew he couldn’t control himself.

Shen Mianmian laughed awkwardly, "I guess I didn’t pay my intelligence tax this year."

No wonder people say a woman’s IQ drops to zero when she’s in love. It seemed to be true.

After she took a bath, when she came out, He Nan asked her to rest in the courtyard while he went to the bathroom to wash her clothes.

Shen Mianmian paused, instinctively trying to stop him, "Big Brother He, my arm injury isn’t serious; I can wash them myself."

In the basin were not only her outer clothes but also her underwear, which truly embarrassed her.

"Do you still feel uncomfortable around me?" He Nan raised his eyebrows slightly, earnestly saying, "Mianmian, if you keep being this reserved with me, I’ll have to find another way to make you less distant and get to know me better."

He spoke ambiguously, but Shen Mianmian mysteriously understood his meaning.

With no choice, she let him help wash her clothes.

He Nan was decisive and efficient at work, and just as swift at washing clothes. Shen Mianmian watched as he carried the basin out of the bathroom, then washed the clothes by the well in the courtyard and finally hung them on the line. Her face turned as red as a ripe persimmon, especially when He Nan touched her intimate apparel.

Just as he hung the last piece of clothing, Cheng Feiyang and Yang Xiaoxi came into the courtyard chatting and saw He Nan finishing up with the clothes, preparing to put the basin away.

Both of them exhibited the same expression of surprise written clearly on their faces.

He Nan was actually doing laundry?

That was something they had never even dreamed of.

Yet the person in question acted as if nothing had happened, placing the basin calmly under the eaves.

Cheng Feiyang: "..."

Yang Xiaoxi: "..."

They looked at each other, had they been seeing things?

Yes, they must have been seeing things.

Shen Mianmian was amused by their expressions and gestured to Yang Xiaoxi, "Come over and take a look, see what this is."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoxi and Cheng Feiyang both curiously walked over, and Shen Mianmian handed her mobile phone to Yang Xiaoxi, "Look, Big Brother He just bought it."

Before Yang Xiaoxi could look at the phone, she noticed the gauze wrapped around Shen Mianmian’s hand, "Mianmian, how did you hurt your arm? Weren’t you fine when I left this morning?"

"It’s nothing, just a little scrape." Shen Mianmian downplayed her injuries.

Yang Xiaoxi, however, kept staring at her arm, "Is the injury severe? It won’t leave a scar, will it?"

"Not serious." Shen Mianmian said.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoxi finally shifted her attention to the phone. She picked it up, looked at it, and said curiously, "Why does this look a bit like a brick phone?"

Shen Mianmian snickered, "It’s not too far off, but this isn’t called a brick phone, it’s called a mobile phone."

"A mobile phone?" Cheng Feiyang was also interested in this device, "Can you carry this and make calls anywhere?"

"Yes." Shen Mianmian nodded.

Both Yang Xiaoxi and Cheng Feiyang’s eyes lit up as if they had discovered a treasure.

"Mianmian, can you really take this thing anywhere and make calls? Doesn’t it need a phone line?"

"No."

Shen Mianmian began to introduce the phone’s functions and uses, and both listeners were utterly fascinated.
