After a while, Zhou Niannian boldly took off her underwear and began to wash herself.
Most of her body was submerged in water, and the waterfall splashed mist. Trees obscured the view between the two pools, so Jiang Fan and Yao on the other side couldn't see her.
Dai Xiaomei giggled, watching Zhou Niannian. She was bold and had already finished washing when Zhou Niannian was still hesitant.
"Wow, so big, so white!"
Dai Xiaomei couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at Zhou Niannian.
Zhou Niannian's figure was truly top-notch. Slender where she should be, and absolutely voluptuous where she should be.
As expected of a former girl group member.
Except for her mouth, everything else was good.
Zhou Niannian shot Dai Xiaomei a glare and said reproachfully,
"What are you saying!"
"Hehe, I'm saying your back is very white. Do you want me to help you scrub your back?"
Dai Xiaomei flashed a mischievous smile and made a kneading motion.
Zhou Niannian rolled her eyes and said while washing her hair,
"No thanks."
Watching her wash her hair, Dai Xiaomei's eyes rolled, and she suddenly asked,
"When we found you last night, you were smiling so shyly. What happened?"
Zhou Niannian didn't expect Dai Xiaomei to ask such a question and was stunned.
What happened?
It was just in the hallucination, Dai Xiaomei asked her if she really liked Jiang Fan, and she confessed her true feelings.
At that time, she was in a daze in the hallucination and blurted out that she liked Jiang Fan.
But thankfully, it was a fake Dai Xiaomei then, and her thoughts weren't exposed.
Now that Jiang Fan was next door, how could she bring herself to say it? What if he overheard?
"It's, it's nothing."
Zhou Niannian said it was nothing, but her face was flushed, and her eyes secretly glanced towards Jiang Fan's side.
Her mouth said no, but her body was honest.
How could Dai Xiaomei, with her sharp eyes, miss such a small detail? She immediately pressed for more gossip.
"I say, do you like Jiang Fan?"
Zhou Niannian's neck turned red, not just her face.
If the incident of being bitten by poisonous mosquitoes and having hallucinations hadn't happened, and Dai Xiaomei had pressed a few more questions, Zhou Niannian might have confessed.
But now, thinking about what happened that night, it was as awkward as it could get, and she couldn't say anything.
"No, no, look, there's someone over there."
Deceiving Dai Xiaomei to look away, Zhou Niannian scooped up a handful of water and splashed it at Dai Xiaomei.
"Waaah, you actually splashed me!"
Dai Xiaomei instantly turned into a drowned rat. She didn't hold back either and immediately used a bamboo tube to scoop up water and splash it back.
The two women in the pool playfully started a water fight.
Jiang Fan, in the adjacent pool, was leisurely washing himself.
Hearing the laughter and chatter of the two women nearby, his gaze involuntarily drifted towards their pool.
Water splashed in the pool, and although he didn't see everything clearly, he saw most of it.
In the misty, dreamlike fog, Zhou Niannian, with her long hair, let go of her reserve, laughing and playing. When she tossed her head, water droplets splashed, forming beautiful rainbows.
Even seeing only her back, the scene was still breathtakingly beautiful.
In ancient times, King Zhuang of Chu saw a goddess bathing; one can imagine the beauty was no more than this.
Jiang Fan's gaze continuously roamed over Zhou Niannian, following her movements.
After watching for a long time, as if mesmerized, he suddenly remembered something and withdrew his gaze, looking at Yao.
He saw that Yao had been washing himself frantically since entering the pool.
As a wolf-child, Yao also possessed extraordinary eyesight and could see the scene across the way. However, he kept his head down, daring not to look up.
If he continued washing like this, Yao would probably scrub off a layer of his skin.
Every living being has desires, whether human or wolf. Yao was merely shy, using bathing to suppress the desires in his heart.
To distract him, Jiang Fan took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
"To get closer to people when interacting with them, you first need to cater to their preferences."
Hearing this, Yao's washing motion paused, and he asked in confusion.
"Cater to... preferences?"
"For example, with attractive girls, you can praise their beauty."
"Beauty?"
"Yes, or praise their abilities. After all, modern girls like to be praised for their capabilities."
Jiang Fan spoke eloquently and logically.
"Like the two over there, they are both live streamers, and their looks are up to standard."
"So you can change your approach, praise their abilities more, for example, by saying you've watched their streams, to build rapport."
"Beautiful and capable, this is every girl's inner desire."
After all, they were teammates, and they didn't know how long they would be staying here. Building some rapport would be good.
Yao touched his head and said in a low voice,
"I... don't know how to talk."
"That's not a problem. You just need to try more."
Jiang Fan wasn't worried.
From their interactions over the past few days, he had already discovered that Yao's learning ability was extremely strong.
From initially being almost completely inarticulate to now speaking relatively smoothly.
With more practice, he would eventually be able to communicate like ordinary people.
"Both of them are streamers, so just praise their professional work."
Jiang Fan, like a mentor, earnestly advised Yao.
Meanwhile.
With a rush of water, Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei had finished washing and come ashore.
The rustling sound of them getting dressed could faintly be heard, making one's heart race.
Estimating that the two had finished dressing, Jiang Fan and Yao also came ashore.
After coming ashore, Jiang Fan put on his clothes, then went to find the camera left by the pool and pressed the trigger.
All three cameras were turned on.
The viewers in the livestream were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Seeing the cameras light up again, they were overjoyed.
But when they saw that everyone was fully clothed, they wailed.
"Jiang Fan, you're inhuman! How could you do something like this!!!"
"You were bathing in the same pool just now, weren't you?"
"Why, why did only you get to enjoy it, why."
"Wait, I think we shouldn't overlook Yao. There's also Yao."
The audience chattered, all lamenting.
They had expected some benefits, but who knew Jiang Fan would be so heartless and just turn it off.
While the livestream was filled with complaints.
Jiang Fan began to fill all the bamboo tubes he had brought.
Yao, seeing Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei walking towards him, coughed, opened his mouth, looking a bit flustered, yet seeming like he wanted to say something.
Zhou Niannian was taken aback, but then guessed that Yao had something to say.
It was rare. Yao, who could barely speak clearly, was actually initiating a conversation with them.
Exchanging a glance with Dai Xiaomei, Zhou Niannian said gently,
"Don't panic, take your time. Slowly say what you want to say."
As Zhou Niannian suggested, Yao took a deep breath, and his expression visibly relaxed.
He swallowed, and finally, he slowly spoke to Zhou Niannian.
"I've watched your videos. Very professional!"
