Since there were only four rooms that could be called bedrooms in the house, and none of them were equipped with air conditioners or fans, Su Xin, who was afraid of heat and sweated easily, was left out.
Among the remaining six people, the Observer and the Purifier, who will fill in the vacancies after the ship girls go out, will live in the same room. After all, they are more familiar with each other.
Dido is responsible for taking care of Su Xin and Lafei's daily life when they are not on the offensive and operating field. With her help, Bai Tutu, who sleeps with them, can drink at home to his heart's content.
In the end, the two remaining marriage ships, Tiancheng and Yixian, were naturally divided together.
The other ship girls found empty houses nearby to live in, with basically three or four people in one room, and they spread out around Su Xin's small building.
The house had not been cleaned for a long time. The Hong Kong area members, including Su Xin, were so confused by the thick dust as soon as they entered that they didn't know what to say.
But what can they do? Start a spring cleaning.
"Ah...it's getting late." Yixian patted the commander's head, "Everyone, should we clear out the room we're going to sleep in first? I'll go to the kitchen and start preparing dinner once we're done."
Indeed, it is very necessary to clean the bedroom first, at least your sleep tonight can be guaranteed.
Su Xin nodded in agreement and turned to look at Dido, "Do we have any cleaning tools?"
"Vacuum cleaner, broom, mop... ah, rags too!" The maid rummaged through a bunch of things from the space, "There's also a mite remover, a kettle, Mr. Muscle..."
"Can you just give me the kettle? It'll be a great help." Yixian, who was in charge of the kitchen, breathed a sigh of relief.
Being able to boil water means she has a dinner for today. Even if she can't clean the kitchen on time, she can still eat instant noodles and drink gasoline to get by.
Of the remaining people, the Purifier chose the Vacuum Cleaner without hesitation.
Because compared to other things, this thing is the most labor-saving. You just need to plug it in and listen to it "humming" as it eats dust. Compared to sweeping the floor and wiping the windows, a vacuum cleaner is obviously the best choice for slacking off.
Rafi was responsible for the wiping work, mainly because she was not tall, and it would be a bit uncoordinated to use tools with long handles, but tables, chairs and benches were just right.
Amagi and Dido took charge of the broom and mop, while the stern-faced Octopus Girl took the lead in carrying the basin and sprinkling water, and the two of them worked in tandem.
As for the little commander who was a bit of a germaphobe, she took the initiative to take on the responsibility of cleaning the bathroom, saying that she would clean every corner according to her own standards.
The seven people were very active. They started working at dusk and worked until after eight o'clock in the evening.
Yixian, who was tidying up the narrow kitchen, was the first to announce that she had finished her work. After cleaning the stove, sink, countertops and floor, she walked into the living room and said loudly:
"Susu? I'll go find Ning Hai and get the pots and pans, okay?"
"Okay~be careful on the road~"
Yixian smiled when he heard the voice, took out his cell phone, looked at the text description of the route, then turned around and walked out.
Hearing the sound of the door closing outside, the little commander put his hands on his hips and breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, cleaning the bathroom was harder than she thought.
She was sweating profusely just brushing off the stains. When she looked up, she saw that even the showerhead was blocked, and the water heater was nowhere to be found...
"Hey... I won't catch a cold if I take a cold shower, right...?"
...
"Do I have to find a big bucket and boil water and squat in it to wash like before?"
"Master? What's wrong?" The maid who happened to be carrying a bucket downstairs to change the water was a little worried. "You are sweating a lot... why don't you take a rest? Leave these to Dido!"
"No, no, I can do it myself. It's just a little hot. How is the room upstairs being cleaned?" The young commander raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve.
Dido took out a handkerchief and came closer, gently wiping while answering: "Your room and Miss Tiancheng's room have been cleaned. Miss Purifier's room... because she broke the filter bag of the vacuum cleaner, so..."
"Ah...didn't the Observer beat her up?"
"They said, they let the Purifiers sleep on the floor at night..."
Su Xin found it funny. After wiping the sweat off her face, her face flushed, revealing a cuteness that stunned the maid who was holding her face. Her eyes kept moving towards her lips and teeth.
After the little conductor finished laughing, he noticed that Dido didn't wipe her face or back away, so he asked in confusion, "Well...what's wrong? Did you get something on your face that you can't wipe off?"
“Eh, eh?!”
Dido suddenly came to her senses and quickly retreated as if she had been electrocuted. In her haste, her heel kicked the plastic bucket for washing mops, knocking it over and her whole body fell against the door with a "bang".
The black and gray dirty water splashed all over the ground, and the originally white ground was once again covered with liquid mixed with dust, and even flowed onto the feet of the little conductor who was wearing flip-flops, leaving a layer of mud on the jade-white ground.
Dido propped herself up and opened her eyes. She became even more panicked when she saw the scene and almost fell to her knees against the door.
Fortunately, Su Xin was foresighted enough to take two steps forward, approach and give the other person a hand, thus preventing her dress from getting soaked in the mud.
"Sister Dido? Are you okay?"
"I'm sorry, Master, I'm so sorry! Dido is so useless. She can't even do the smallest things properly. She even made the bathroom you cleaned with so much effort dirty. I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"No, don't worry about it... It's just dust. It will fall off if you rinse it with the shower. It's very simple."
"Is it better to change the head maid? Dido deserves to be abandoned... She has caused so much trouble to her master. Dido, Dido deserves to die!"
"Susu? Dido? Are you okay? Did someone fall down?" Tiancheng's worried question came from the poorly soundproofed ceiling.
The young commander forcibly supported the maid who was falling down due to exhaustion, and shouted "It's okay" loudly. Then he put his arms around her and put the panicked Dido on the door panel.
"Sister Dido, calm down. I don't blame you. I really don't blame you. This is just an accident. It's normal. How could I abandon you because of this?"
"I'm sorry... Master... Dido is always careless and causes you trouble and burden... I... I really am...
"That's weird. Didn't you make mistakes before? Why do you care so much about it this time..."
The maid's eyes widened. "You, you really are keeping track of Dido's mistakes in your mind, and you won't let Dido get close to you after a certain number of times, right...?"
Su Xin sighed, "No...really not. I just remembered it because I have a good memory. Besides, knowing where you might make mistakes, can't I help you avoid risks...?"
"Wow...really? Master, you didn't set up a resignation form for Dido...?"
"...What is that? No, can you stand properly now? Wear white stockings when cleaning. Don't worry about getting them dirty and never being able to wash them clean again."
The maid sniffed and finally regained the strength in her legs. With a bit of relief and greed, she escaped from the little conductor's arms.
"Yes, it's a ship uniform. If it gets dirty, just refresh it and - huh?!"
"Wait!"
The door of the bathroom behind them was suddenly pushed open, and the two unsuspecting people stumbled to the ground. A familiar voice sounded a little nervously.
"Sorry, I'm here to give you some fruit... I got a lot of gifts from other ship girls, so I wanted to share some with you. I heard a noise in here, so... Eh?! What are you doing...?!"
The young commander lying in the dirty water got goose bumps all over his body. He didn't have time to appreciate the fragrance and softness on his lips and chest. He used his hands to quickly prop up the downed maid.
Looking past the blushing Dido, she saw Xiao Yexing, who was holding apples and grapes with an embarrassed expression.
She wanted to put on a smiling face, but the wetness and stickiness on her back and the gray-black dirty water under her butt were plucking the string called "reason" in her.
Xingzi grabbed the soft hem of her clothes, obviously at a loss as to what to do with the situation. She didn't know whether she should leave or stay.
The maid eventually fell to the ground, her white socks and white skirt no longer able to maintain their original purity, just like the bright red color that reached her neck.
It was not until Yixian, who came back with the ingredients, leaned closer and looked through the ingredients that the wet little conductor spoke in a wronged tone.
"I, I want to take a shower QA Q..."
It was impossible to take a shower. She was washed with cold water right after sweating. With Su Xin's cold-sensitive constitution, it was impossible for her not to get sick.
Yixian wanted to prepare hot water for her to wash, but the little commander covered in mud could not wait for the kettle and the small pot to slowly work and collect the half bucket of boiling water.
Finally, Tiancheng, who came down to check the situation, suggested that they first boil half a basin of water to wipe the body, and then boil another half basin of water to rinse the hair. Although it was not as clean as a shower, it was also a salvation for Su Xin.
Xingzi, whose good intentions led to the accident, bowed and apologized countless times even after Su Xin expressed her understanding. Finally, she left the fruit plate and left in tears.
Ever since Dido was forced to "reverse push" and taste the peach juice, she has been kneeling on the dusty floor with a red face, reflecting on herself, and no matter how the little commander pulled her up, she wouldn't get up.
This matter was at most a misunderstanding. There was nothing wrong with a kiss between two good sisters. Su Xin didn't know why the other party cared so much.
However, considering that the other person was the maid Dido who had a serious lack of security, this behavior did not seem so difficult for her to understand.
"Her mental problems are very serious... Should I find an opportunity to help her change them...?" The little commander tugged at his clothes uncomfortably, seriously considering the necessity.
Tiancheng took a dry towel and wanted to help Su Xin take off her wet clothes so as to wipe off the dirty water remaining on her skin, but the noise upstairs started again.
Helplessly, she could only look at the maid who was kneeling on the ground with amusement, "Dido, come on, you should make some compensation."
"Yes... yes! Whether it's confinement or corporal punishment, Dido will carry it out! I just hope... Don't let Dido leave here..."
"Leave? If you leave, who will take care of Su Su?"
"......Huh?"
Tiancheng looked at the simple curtains nailed to the wall in the bedroom on the first floor, making sure that there was some obstruction, then he walked forward, pulled up the maid, and stuffed a dry towel into her hand.
"Go in there and wipe her thoroughly. Don't change into new clothes yet. Wait for Yixian to boil the water, then go to the bathroom and wash. Rinse off the mud on the floor while you're at it."
Dido blushed completely. She looked at the little conductor who was tugging at her clothes and pants and frowning, and then looked at Tiancheng who had a slightly meaningful expression.
"I, I understand..."
"Well, take good care of her. I'll go upstairs to check on them so they don't dirty the clean room."
"I understand..."
"Master, Master... Can I help you take off your clothes?"
"Hmm? Ah, can I finally wipe it?" Su Xin, who was feeling uncomfortable, was overjoyed and quickly took off her short-sleeved shirt. "Towel...drink? Why is it dry?"
Dido’s eyes were about to make a hole in the floor. “Because the water is not… hot yet…”
"Ah... OK, so we should clean the mud first?" The little commander took the towel, put his hands behind his back and scratched for a long time, and finally asked the maid: "Is it done? Is there any dirt? I can't see it."
Dido looked up cautiously, and was hurt by a few red marks on a piece of white.
Su Xin tickled the buttons of her dress. "What's wrong? Is it still dirty? I feel like I can't quite reach the area between my shoulder blades."
"...
"Sister Dido?"
"Wow... yeah, I'm sorry, it's all Dido's fault..."
Su Xin turned around and looked at the maid who started to drop her beads. "What, what happened? Suddenly... I'm fine. I wanted to take a shower anyway. Now I can wash and clean at the same time. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
"If, if it weren't for me, your back wouldn't be... wouldn't be so red... wuwuwu... I'm so sorry..."
"Red? Oh... because it's a dry towel, and I was probably too anxious so I used a little more force..." Su Xin thought for a moment and simply returned the towel to the maid, "How about you help me wipe it? It will definitely be cleaner than if I do it myself."
Because of the red marks, the timid Dido did not refuse this time. She held the little conductor's shoulders with tears in her eyes, and folded the towel with her other hand and wiped it gently.
The mud and water that have not yet dried up are relatively easy to wipe off and will not stick to the skin. You only need to wipe it back and forth with a towel a few times to remove these blemishes.
As the dirt was gradually removed, several red marks on the white and thin shoulders and back became more conspicuous on the jade-like skin, showing a sense of fragility and illness.
Dido touched it lightly with her fingertips. The warm temperature and soft texture, the blend of snow-white and bright red, gradually dazzled her.
Su Xin hugged her chest and waited for a long time without feeling any other movements. She opened her mouth and asked, "...Sister Dido, are you still not well?!"
The slightly damp and soft touch gently touched the middle of her shoulder blade, and the mark left by the exhaled air made that piece of skin feel slightly cool.
"Owner…..."
Looking at the back with her lipstick prints on it, Dido's love was about to burst out, but in the end she chose to touch the small lip print with her cheek and rub it gently.
"I'm sorry...does it still hurt here?"
Su Xin: "Hmm? Ah... Actually it doesn't hurt. You don't have to worry about it. Why are you so guilty? There's dust on my back. If you rub it again, you'll have to wash your face later."
"Um... I'm so sorry..." Dido used a towel to rub the lip marks, and then used her fingers to spread them until they were no longer visible. "I, I thought the 'Huhu' move was very effective for injuries."
"Oh~ I didn't expect Sister Dido to be so naive, just like a little kid. And this isn't considered an injury, so don't take it too seriously, got it?"
"...Well, Dido understands..."
Chapter 883 You didn’t wash your hands!
After sleeping on the bed that still smelled a little dusty, Su Xin got up early as usual.
Although the weather was extremely hot and humid, it was indeed cooler for her to sleep alone than to sleep with two or three people.
She only needed to cover her belly button with a blanket and wear pajamas. Apart from the mosquitoes being a little noisy, Su Xin had a comfortable night.
I'm not sweating much, as I took a hot shower last night. It's okay if my hair is a little messy, just tie it into a ponytail. The most important thing is that I feel dry.
"It seems that during the event, I don't have to run to take a shower early in the morning, and I can wear my pajamas for two more days."
Su Xin was quite satisfied and yawned silently. After making sure the curtains were tight, she quickly took off her pajamas and changed into a short outfit, a T-shirt with shorts, which completely covered her thighs.
When she put on her slippers and wanted to wash up, she suddenly realized that there was no bathroom in her room.
"........."
