Chapter 1321: What's needed is just to torment her. "Smart!" Lu Yun smiled, looking at Zhang Yunqian and said, "Qian-jun, then what do you think? Are you willing to help me with this?" He had originally thought Lu Yun would really be tending to the grasses for her, but it turned out to be such a simple task. How could Zhang Yunqian possibly refuse? Besides, washing Yingzi's clothes would save her from having to deal with a pile of wool, and she'd certainly find it uncomfortable during the night when lying beside Lu Yun. At once, Zhang Yunqian enthusiastically nodded and prepared to get off the bed to fetch water. Yet, just as she was about to get up, Lu Yun stopped her, chuckling and said, "Qian-jun, don't rush. Would you mind if I finish what I have to say first?" Zhang Yunqian was taken aback—did Lu Yun have some other clever plan in store? Immediately, Zhang Yunqian's newly relaxed composure turned tense once again, her eyes filled with anxiety as she looked at Lu Yun and said, "Yun, what... what else do you need me to do? As long as it's not that thing, I'll follow your lead completely." Lu Yun chuckled and said, "Qian-jun, you're making me feel so nervous—am I some kind of big tiger?" Behind her, Zhang Yunqian rolled her eyes and said, "If you were actually a big tiger, that would be something. But you're far more terrifying than a tiger by a hundred times." She managed a smile, adding, "I'm not saying that. I'm just thinking—once you've cleared all the grass for Yingzi, we'll be able to get started on that thing sooner, won't we?" Lu Yun nodded, his expression now one of understanding, and continued, "Then, Qian-jun, let me finish what I was going to say." Chang Yunqian nodded eagerly, her expression tense as she stared at Lu Yun, thinking: Please, please don’t make me do that grass-cutting thing again—my grassy area beneath already isn’t especially lush. If Lu Yun ends up turning it into a bare patch, how am I going to explain it to my husband when he sees it at home? “Little Yun, just say it already,” Chang Yunqian finally broke under the pressure, prompting with a gentle urgency. Lu Yun gave a mischievous smile. “You’re still so eager, aren’t you? Very well, Qingjie. Since your lower area has already turned into a swamp, you don’t need to get up and fetch water anymore. Just let the spring water from your Water Curtain Cave flow directly to Huaying’s lower mound—give her a good rinse. Maybe it’ll even work like a shampoo! "As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Yunqian froze in place. Even Xue Huaing, who had been quietly closed her eyes the entire time, unresponsive to Lu Yun's proposal to bathe her in the sand dune at the back of her house, now sat wide-eyed, her expression filled with complete astonishment. 'This... this boy is truly a troublemaker,' Xue Huaing murmured, a wry smile playing on her lips. Zhang Yunqian glanced at her sister, who had now opened her eyes, and hesitated before addressing Lu Yun. 'Cloud, don't you think this is a bit inappropriate? How can we use the water flowing from my private parts to bathe you? Besides, you yourself must be able to smell it—women's bodily fluids always carry a certain scent. Wouldn't it be unhygienic to use this water to bathe Yingzi?' Lu Yun shrugged, saying, "I don't see anything wrong with it. This guy of mine has been constantly crashing through your two pavilions, and under my constant activity, your spring waters have already seeped deep into the very heart of your dwellings. Now, I'm merely borrowing a bit of your spring water to gently cleanse Huaying sister's slightly dry mountainous terrain. Compared to that, Qing sister, what exactly is unhygienic about this?" "Auntie, Lu Yun is absolutely right. I don't care anymore—what's left for you to be concerned about? Come on, use your flowing spring water to water my little hillock. Maybe, with your rich, lively spring water nourishing it, the grasses I've cleared away will grow even stronger and more vigorous." It was clear that Auntie was feeling shy and embarrassed about this. Xue Hua Ying thought: with all the hair on my hillock gone today, there's really nothing left to be embarrassed about. Rather than lingering here, uncomfortable and tense, it would be better to simply follow Lu Yun's suggestion and get this over with quickly. Moreover, the lower hillock did feel a bit dry. Although Lu Yun's gentle movements with the pruning shears were soothing, the dryness still caused a subtle ache that reached from the roots of her hair down to her scalp. After the refreshing wash, that ache should surely ease considerably. Thinking this, seeing her elder sister still hesitating with that same longing in her eyes, Xue Hua Ying continued, "Sister, just make up your mind. If you want to get things going with Lu Yun as soon as possible, don't hesitate any longer." Oh, you stubborn girl! Why won't you do it? It's not because you're unwilling, but because you're afraid I won't be able to accept it. Now, here you are, blaming me! After being repeatedly stimulated by Xue Hua Ying, Zhang Yunqian finally bit her lip and said, "Alright, I'll wash. My water is plenty, just don't let it flood your little hill." "With that, Zhang Yunqian promptly moved close to Xue Huaing, extended her hand, and dug through the water curtain—her own waterfall—several times, then placed her water-stained palm onto the uneven mound of grass that had been trimmed unevenly by Lu Yun's scissors. She rubbed the wiry grasses firmly back and forth, pressing hard. When her palm finally lifted, the grass on Huaing's mound was clearly damp. It seemed clear now that with a few more repetitions, using Yunqian's spring water, Huaing's remaining grasses could be thoroughly soaked. "The effect is quite good," Lu Yun nodded approvingly, yet he also offered a small suggestion. "Hmm... Oh, you're going to keep tormenting us sisters, aren't you, young man?" Chang Yunqian was on the verge of conditioned reflex—whenever Lu Yun spoke, her little heart would start fluttering. "Yun, isn't this good enough? I think with a few more attempts, we should be able to get Huaying well dampened by now," Chang Yunqian said, expressing her opinion. If everything had to follow Lu Yun's preferences, she wasn't sure she could even make it until he'd completely cleared all the weeds from his cousin's garden.
