A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 20: Looks slim in clothes, muscular underneath

When Zhou Hanzhang turned his head, he saw that the man was now only wearing his underpants. He had looked rather thin when he was dressed, but now the muscle lines on his upper body and the eight-pack abs in his abdomen showed that he was not as good as he had looked before.

This body type is described as looking slim in clothes but muscular when undressed.

Zhou Hanzhang blushed and dared not look any longer. He cursed inwardly and quickly left.

Before they had gone far, they heard the man's voice again, "New guy, bring me a bucket of water."

Zhou Hanzhang had just washed herself clean, so of course she wouldn't listen to him. Besides, she wasn't binding her chest yet, and what if she was discovered?

She didn't dare linger and left quickly.

"Ugh, this weakling!" The man was furious, but there was nothing he could do but come out wearing his underpants to fetch water himself.

The man easily carried two buckets of water without even panting, and immediately put them in the bathroom to rinse off.

But the more he rinsed, the more puzzled he became. Why did the bathroom smell so good?

Did that chicken use some kind of perfume to bathe?

He had just smelled a faint fragrance on that chicken.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

This pretty boy is not only prettier than women, but he also pays more attention to his appearance than women, even using perfume when taking a bath.

Without realizing it, a hint of disdain crept into his mind, and he clicked his tongue three times.

Zhou Hanzhang grabbed the clothes and ran back to her room, only breathing a sigh of relief after closing the door.

We almost got exposed.

It seems she was still careless. Although this environment is better than several people sharing a room, she still has to be careful, or she might accidentally expose herself.

She put the dirty clothes aside and quickly bound her chest to avoid any problems.

She had just finished binding her chest and putting on her clothes, but hadn't even had time to tie her hair up yet.

The man had already finished showering and saw that the door to the room next to Chen Moran's was closed. He immediately thought of the weakling from earlier.

He was still furious and went forward to bang on Zhou Hanzhang's door, yelling, "You idiot, open the door!"

Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Hanzhang became extremely impatient and, disregarding the need to tie his hair, yanked open the door.

"What can I do for you, senior brother?!"

The person who came in was taken aback when he heard her unfriendly tone. He then looked at her, who was only up to his chest. Just now, when she was hunched over in the bathroom, he couldn't see her face clearly. But now she was looking up at him aggressively.

The chicken looks kind of good, doesn't it?

But why is he so small?

Why are your little lips so red?

That hair looks so soft and smooth, I really want to touch it.

Before the person could even begin to think clearly, they had already grabbed her hair.

Zhou Hanzhang was taken aback and reached out to grab her hair.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?!"

The newcomer then came to his senses, looking somewhat embarrassed, and lowered his hand.

"I just asked you to help me carry water, why didn't you help?"

Zhou Hanzhang showed no leniency towards him, "Why should I help you?"

"No, I'm your senior. What's wrong with you helping me carry water? You might need my help with your studies in the future."

"unnecessary."

Zhou Hanzhang was so annoyed with this person that he retreated back into his room and slammed the door shut.

The man intended to follow Zhou Hanzhang inside, but unexpectedly, she closed the door without warning, almost slamming it on his face.

Who is this person?!

He was about to knock on the door again when Shen Moli walked in from outside. "Qingfeng, that's our new junior brother. Mo Ran told us not to mess with him."

It turned out that the person was Gu Qingfeng, one of the four oddballs Li Xianda had mentioned. He was the Empress's younger brother and the youngest son of General Gu.

Gu Qingfeng's eyes widened upon hearing this. "Who is that?"

He had been Chen Moran's roommate for at least a year, and he knew Chen Moran's personality quite well.

The person he spoke up to protect must be quite extraordinary.

He didn't dare get close to Shen Moli, but he couldn't help being gossipy. He walked to a suitable distance and whispered, "What has Chen Moran taken a fancy to that little greenhorn?"

"Could it be that they've discovered he's a good offering for sacrificial rites? Or perhaps a good ingredient for alchemy?"

Shen Moli watched Gu Qingfeng's increasingly exaggerated words and said, "Stop thinking about such nonsense."

"By the way, I concocted a medicine today to strengthen the body. Would you like me to try it?" Shen Moli changed the subject.

Gu Qingfeng's face immediately showed fear. He took two steps back and turned around without hesitation, running into his room.

"Thank you, no need." The voice came from inside only after the door closed.

Shen Moli shook his head and sighed softly, "This is really boring."

He remembered the new junior student, whose thin frame made his eyes light up instantly.

Without thinking twice, he went up and knocked on Zhou Hanzhang's door.

"I'm busy," Zhou Hanzhang's voice came from inside.

This person is so annoying!

It would be better to have him go to a room with several people.

She had already heard it inside; that oddball was Gu Qingfeng.

She encountered three oddballs as soon as she arrived, and she began to wonder if fate was playing a cruel joke on her.

"Junior brother, it's me, Shen Moli."

At first, Zhou Hanzhang thought it was that idiot Gu Qingfeng again, but after hearing Shen Moli's voice, he calmed down and opened the door.

Smiling, she asked him, "Senior Brother Shen, is there anything I can help you with?"

Shen Moli wasn't really confident about the effects of his new drug. He had just been warned by Chen Moran not to have any designs on his junior brother.

However, this junior brother's body seems to be very suitable for my new medicine.

He thought for a moment and then spoke up: "It's like this, I've invented a new medicine that's very effective for people like you who are physically weak. Taking it can strengthen your body. Would you like to try it?"

Physically weak?

What is he saying?

Zhou Hanzhang understood every single word he said, but when put together, she felt that she didn't quite understand it.

Speaking of his frail health, doesn't it seem like he's the one who's more suited to be in this position?

"Senior brother, do you have a bronze mirror?" Zhou Hanzhang asked after thinking for a moment.

Shen Moli was taken aback. "A bronze mirror? Junior brother, do you want to look in a mirror? I do have one, but I don't know where I put it. Wait for me to go back to my room and look for it for you."

Zhou Hanzhang hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Senior brother, why don't you look in the mirror? Your face is a bit pale, and you look much weaker than me..."

Shen Moli was taken aback, then laughed, seemingly very happy.

"I've been like this since I was a child, and I've always been in good health. Besides, I've taken so many medications since I was little that ordinary medicines are no longer effective for me. But thank you for your concern, Junior Brother."

After saying that, he excitedly handed over the medicine in his hand, "Junior Brother, would you like to try it?"

Zhou Hanzhang looked resistant. "Senior brother, I know my own body. I'm perfectly fine. I don't need your good medicine."

After saying that, he ignored it and slammed the door shut again.

Just kidding, can you take medicine whenever you want?

As Li Xianda said, if you eat it, you won't even know how you die.

Shen Moli touched his nose, realizing that he didn't seem to be very popular with this new junior brother.

I don't know where I went wrong. Logically speaking, shouldn't junior brother like his style the most?
