"Auntie, we came by boat, and now that it's dark, we've also lost our boat. Can we stay here for the night?"
"Quick, quick, come in. The wind and rain are so strong, don't get soaked."
Ah Ju ushered them in. Shen Xiaoman turned around and saw Xia Yanxin staring blankly at the door plate, grabbed her hand, and pulled her over, "Come on, what are you looking at."
The beautiful villa, like a palace from a fairy tale, appeared even more mysterious and luxurious in the rain, but Xia Yanxin no longer had the heart to admire it.
Ah Ju led them into the villa, handed them each a towel, and showed them into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Shen Xiaoman and Xia Yanxin emerged from their hot showers, each wrapped in a blanket, and Ah Ju brought out steaming bowls of noodles. The small dining room was heated and cozy.
"Auntie, sorry to trouble you." Shen Xiaoman smiled. "May we use the washing machine?"
