For instance, the separation of men and women still had to be upheld, and any situation that required avoidance of suspicion had to be avoided.
Therefore, the construction of proper toilets and bathrooms had to be seriously undertaken.
Toilets were easy to solve—find a flat area, dig a hole, surround it with wooden boards, add a door, and it was done.
Shower rooms were a bit more troublesome.
Bai Junjun envisioned one that could draw both hot and warm water, thereby eliminating the need to carry water.
However, to achieve this, she needed to find a storage tank and a system of water pipes.
After looking around, Bai Junjun finally set her sights on the two storage barrels she had made the day before.
Each storage barrel was one square meter in size, making them uniquely advantageous for storing bath water.
Going from saying to doing, Bai Junjun really took those two water tanks out, and she did not forget to make a stone stove; as long as she lit a fire, the storage tank would have hot water.
Having fixed the storage tank, Bai Junjun then went to find a pile of hollow bamboo to come back with.
These were her designed pipes—one for hot water and one for cold water—leading to the bathroom and then connecting to a wooden shower head.
Of course, the connection of this shower head was still powered by her Special Ability.
After the complex bathroom was completed, all one had to do was pull the switch, and both hot and cold water would come out simultaneously.
This modernized bathhouse was something Bai Sasa and the others had never seen, filling them all with wonder, while the inventor Bai Junjun looked meaningfully at Li Wenli; she too wanted to see the reaction of this man, who she suspected to be a fellow townsman.
However, Li Wenli just smiled, nodding with his arms crossed and remarked, "Interesting."
Bai Junjun felt as if her punch had landed on cotton, but it was exactly this impenetrable attitude that made him seem all the more familiar to her.
That said, Li Wenli exuded an air of wickedness, and Bai Junjun felt she could not see through him.
During their time in the Seven-Person Team, she thought highly of him because he always repaid his debts, and he was willing to stand up for the Refugees and the courtesans—rare traits of supporting the weak.
Yet, when she fell into his trap, she discovered his traps were filled with malice, clearly harboring a vengeance and brutal to his cores, begrudging every inch.
But now, watching him guide children in recognizing Earth’s plants, that pure and sincere smile made him seem like a warm-hearted youth.
The faces he showed were all so extreme, these strong opposing characteristics shouldn’t appear in the same person; yet, this was precisely the Li Wenli she encountered.
Therefore, Bai Junjun felt that the current Li Wenli was very incongruous, completely mismatching the Li Wenli in her mind.
At that moment, when Li Wenli felt Bai Junjun’s gaze sweeping over him like a searchlight, he couldn’t help but feel amused.
"Are you very interested in me?"
Bai Junjun averted her gaze and silently drifted away.
Li Wenli watched the departing young lady, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
Just as he was about to turn around, he saw a little chubby kid with arms crossed and a queer expression staring at him.
Seeing his expression, Li Wenli couldn’t resist pinching Bai Lingyu’s chubby cheeks.
"Why do you look at me like that?"
"I heard that you once had a marriage arrangement with my elder sister?"
Li Wenli tilted his head looking at this little tyke, "What if I did?"
"You’re not trying to get close to my elder sister through me, are you?"
Previously, Bai Lingyu didn’t know about Bai Junjun’s former fiancé, Li Wenli, because when they broke off the engagement, Bai Lingyu was only one year old and could barely walk.
During the escape, the servants wouldn’t suddenly mention this taboo topic in Bai Junjun’s eyes, so Bai Lingyu truly didn’t know about it.
If Sister Shi Yi hadn’t secretly told him, perhaps he would never have guessed that the kind Brother Fox who had saved him was almost his brother-in-law.
However, he also knew that it was only almost; now, they had no relationship left.
