Assassin Farmer

Chapter 11-15

Chapter 11: Seventh of the Seventh Lunar Month

"Ha~" Su Shuilian leisurely rested her back on the wooden bathtub and let out a satisfied moan.

After not bathing for three months, it was such bliss.

Cupping the warm water to her soft, jade-like shoulders, Su Shuilian unbraided her waist-long braids and continued to immerse herself in the warm water.

She had lived in the woods for so many months. Although there was plenty of water, it was not warm enough to bathe in. Not to mention the lack of toiletries, such as soap and shampoo. Although they were simple things, there were none then. Looking at the firewood, Su Shuilian's mind started to wander. Her previous life as the eldest daughter of the Su House seemed like it was just a realistic dream. Now she has woken up to her original self -an orphan girl who is unsure where her home is.

Su Shuilian sighed. Forget it, what's past was past. Since she was already here, all she could wish for was for her mother and brother to think about her. Since she had already transmigrated, she might as well live and enjoy her life here.

A sharp and clear knocking sound came from outside of the room. With the sound of knocking was an already familiar cold voice, "It's time to eat."

"Oh, oh, I'll be right there," Su Shuilian returned from her daze and discovered the water had turned cold. She then quickly got out of the bath and reached out for the cotton towel on the back of the chair, wrapping it around her body while wiping her dripping wet hair.

Lin Si Yao heard a "splash" coming from inside the room; just from her hurried steps, he could imagine her rushing out of the tub. The thought of her made his body uncontrollably stiff. He quickly turned and walked two steps toward the railing of the stairs and leaned against the walls near the railing. He had tried to concentrate on the situation downstairs, but he could not get his mind off of the thought of the delicate girl in the room.  

After Su Shuilian finally put on the complex dress, she opened the door to see Lin Shi Yao's back facing her while looking downstairs.

"I'm ready," She softly called, her eyes flashed with a slight, yet gentle smile. Lin Shi Yao had turned at the same moment, causing her words to cut off.

Yes, the man in front of her was dressed in a set of smokey-blue clothes; his waist belt was also in the same color. His long black hair was tied up with a similarly gray-colored jade hairpin. If not for his millennium iceberg face, Su Suilian would not have guessed that this was Lin Si Yao, but rather another person with a similar face, like his sibling or something.

Looking at her, Lin Si Yao raised his brow and frowned. He turned her around and pulled her back into her room. Wordlessly, he picked up a dry cotton towel and gently dried her damp hair.

Su Shuilian's face burned red; she did a quick drying off of her hair because she was afraid to let him wait too long. She had patted her hair for a while, but when she walked out, it seemed that the end of her hair started to drip water again, only to trouble him to help her dry her hair.

Su Shuilian bit her lips and said in a low voice, "How about I'll just do it..."

"Don't move," Lin Si Yao gently placed a hand on her shoulder, motioning her to sit down. The other hand was transferring inner energy, helping her dry her dark, dripping wet hair. At the same time, he was also helping her dry off her damp clothing.

"Thank you....." Su Shuilian said in a low voice. She felt her back slowly start to warm up, and her clothes were soon dried.

Placing down the towel, Lin Si Yao walked out of the room and called for a maidservant to help Su Shuilian do her hair.
