The girl was initially startled, then let out an "ah" sound, blushing up to the roots of her neck. She stammered a bit and then quickly left with her water bucket. In her haste, water spilled out along the way. Even so, she didn't forget to turn her head and look at Duan Xi beside Ruan Jiaojiao.
Ruan Jiaojiao pursed her lips and unobtrusively stepped in front of Duan Xi, blocking the girl's view.
Duan Xi noticed this and smiled, feeling quite pleased.
He placed the bucket in the sink, waited for it to fill up, then lifted it out again.
Most of the current water buckets were made of tin. They were large in capacity and durable, but they became very heavy after being filled with water. Generally, eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls could barely lift a bucket of water, although they had to take breaks while walking. They could usually manage to carry it back to the dorm.
But for Ruan Jiaojiao, this bucket of water was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
