It turned out this was an ingeniously designed drainage system by Jiang Ziling — when bathing, a cob of corn was used to block a hole, and when the water was full, it would overflow, naturally flowing down the groove, both convenient and a small wisdom of life.
After marveling at it, Su Yu meticulously cleaned the bathtub and refilled it with hot water.
She too immersed herself in this warm bath, feeling as if the fatigue of body and mind were gradually dissipating with the steaming vapors, leaving only serenity and relaxation behind.
Into the deep night when all was quiet, the chirping of insects outside the window became the sole background music, distant yet clear.
Time seemed to flow slowly at this moment, bringing a peaceful haven to the soul.
After the bath, Su Yu felt rejuvenated, without a hint of sleepiness, with moonlight like silk, spilling a silvery glow through the window lattice.
