Women generally take a long time to bathe, and consider it fast if they finish within one or two hours. Indeed, by the time it was Tangyu's turn to bathe, it was already past midnight. Fortunately, they bathed in pairs; otherwise, they might have had to wait until dawn. Tangyu always thought he bathed quickly, a three to five-minute affair, but unexpectedly, his bath today took him a full thirty minutes. No, more like forty minutes. Of course, the reason for this, which is not quite suitable for children, is better left unsaid.
