“Me too!” Wang Shao was the first to shout.
Zhao You’er’s eyes were sharp and she immediately shouted, “Me, me, me, me!”
Guan Yueyun walked out, her arms around the basin. She saw what was happening and said, “I brought some too.”
“I’ve got some now!” Liu Wei smiled. “Even in the army, one should need to smell good. I’ll go wash my clothes now. I’ll get some from you the next time.”
Guan Yueyun nodded happily.
Then, Li Beinian, Zhao You’er, and Wang Shao walked out of the laundry room next door one after another. Wang Shao waved at her and said, “You’re too smart. If I’d known, I’d have brought some too. Fortunately, they distributed washing powder, so we can save on laundry liquid. After washing, we can make it smell good.”
Guan Yueyun agreed, “Yeah, I think so too.”
Wang Shao left with a smile. Just as Guan Yueyun was about to follow her, she was stopped.
“Give me some, Xiao Guan.” Li Xueqing walked out of the bathroom with a smile. “Thanks.”
Wang Shao glanced at her and said, “I’ll go first.”
“Mm.”
Guan Yueyun looked at Li Xueqing and hesitated for a moment. Eventually she handed over the laundry liquid and replied, “You’re welcome.”
Li Xueqing took the laundry liquid from her, tore an opening and poured the liquid onto her laundry.
Guan Yueyun exclaimed, “Slow down!”
There wasn’t much in the packet, only 500ml.
Now that some of its content had been tilted into the laundry, half the packet was gone.
Guan Yueyun’s heart ached so much that she could hardly speak. She said, “I only have this bag...”
Li Xueqing said nonchalantly, “It’s just a bag of laundry liquid. I’ll return it to you when we get out. Don’t be so selfish.”
Guan Yueyun was so aggrieved upon hearing this, she was at a loss for words. She looked at the huge amount of detergent in the basin, and the tiny dot that she had poured out for herself. She felt herself choking up.
Alas, she was too stumped to speak.
Noticing her reaction, Li Xueqing said, “When we get out, I’ll buy you lots of new packets. Let’s go and wash our clothes.”
Who wants your detergent!
I’m using it to add some fragrance to my clothes. Who wouldn’t be able to afford detergent once we’re out?
Guan Yueyun’s face flushed red, but she didn’t say these things aloud. She looked at Li Xueqing’s back view for a long time before following her.
Li Xueqing positioned her clothes under the tap. As soon as the water gushed down, a lot of bubbles started to form.
Li Xueqing felt rather smug as she sensed the pairs of eyes looking her way.
She hummed a tune as she washed her clothes. The bubbles formed endlessly.
Zhao You’er said, “Nouveau riche, we’ve been given only two packets of washing powder to last us a month. What’s going to be left of it now that you’ve used so much?”
“It’s not washing powder, it’s washing liquid.” Li Xueqing sounded unmistakably happy and proud. “Xiao Guan gave it to me.”
As she spoke, she continued to massage her clothes. She did not use much strength, making the task look very light and airy.
Everyone turned to look at Guan Yueyun.
Guan Yueyun pursed her lips and continued washing her clothes.
Li Beinian looked away quickly.
Liu Wei was done with the washing and walked out. Li Beinian caught up with her and asked, “Sister Wei, did you choose Li Xueqing?”
Liu Wei glanced at her and said, “I can only choose two people.”
Li Beinian nodded.
They hung the clothes up to dry. After a tiring day, they did not have the mood to talk about relationships anymore. They lay down and quickly fell asleep.
Li Beinian slept till dawn.
At five-thirty in the morning, the whistle was shrill and piercing.
Everyone got out of bed. However, Li Beinian realized that Li Xueqing was already putting on makeup.
For a moment, Li Beinian was surprised. But quickly, she picked up her basin and went to the bathroom.
