Chapter 6: Three important things to note.
Li Hai Jiao had pretty fast hand to eye coordination and immediately pulled up the bed covers. Tang Cheng Cheng still had not noticed Li Er’s return when she looked incredulously at his sudden weird actions. She then only realized that although he looked like her now, inside, he was still a living and breathing adult male!
What the hell is he doing?
Tang Cheng Cheng folded her arms on her board-like flat chest.
She was still not married yet and didn’t even have any admirers now but she didn’t even wish one bit to become young master Li’s bed warming girl!
Li Hai Jiao’s face leaned towards her while panic filled her face as she backed off desperately from him.
Li Hai Jiao was annoyed as he grabbed her hands and she nearly shrieked when he instructed her with a low voice.
“Ask her to get out.”
“What?” She could hear her heart thumping loudly until it blurred out what he was saying.
“Tell that maid to get out.”
“Maid?”
Li Er’s voice piped up as if she was answering to her own question.
“Young master, have you came back?”
Li Er’s quick footsteps were approaching the bed tent soon.
“Faster do it!” Li Hai Jiao pushed her insistently.
“I don’t wish to wake up tomorrow being accused that I have received favors from some dark ugly chick that I should throw away and share my bed with her.”
What?
Dark ugly chick... that he should throw away?!
Tang Cheng Cheng widened her fiery eyes as she stared daggers at him while he was still wearing her own outer skin. This evil mouthed girl... no... man!
She also didn’t want to be accused without any basis and be involved in malicious rumors.
She still wanted to marry one day!
Anyway her skin was not naturally dark in the first place, but after working under the sun washing and hanging his clothes up, she had become dark like this!
Why is he belittling her now?!
“Young master?”
Li Er’s voice was just right outside the bed tent. She was afraid that Li Er would draw back the curtains soon then she wouldn’t be able to wash the dirt off even if she were to jump into the lake one more time! So it didn’t matter if there were bigger things in heaven or earth [1], she needed to do everything she could to get that maid out of the room.
She huffed in frustration as she wanted so desperately to retort back. She could only pull back the curtains a little to stick her head out.
“You should go back and rest now... Ah yo!” Is Li Hai Jiao now pinching her waist?
Did she say something wrong?
Didn’t he tell her to shoo the maid out?
“What is it, young master? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?” Li Er asked in concern.
“I’m alright.” It’s just that someone just pinched me just now.
Both the man and the girl were not close at all to each other, yet he still pinched the waist and that waist belonged to “Li Hai Jiao” anyway. In this case, she won’t need to worry about “giving” him her own body, won’t she?
“You should go and rest so don’t mind me.”
“But Madam told me to make sure that I stay beside Young Master all night.”
Li Er didn’t dare to break the Madam’s orders for her.
“Young master, you came back to the room because you had fainted just now. Although the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with you and that you just had a shock, the madam is still very worried about you. She gave the order that the kitchen is not allowed to turn off the cooking fire today so that you will have a warm bowl of soup when you wake up in the morning.”
“Ah? It’s so late into the night and the kitchen is still not allowed to end their work?”
Did she even have a guilty conscience? Tang Cheng Cheng waved her hand disapprovingly,
“Ask them all to go to sleep. You will also go to sleep along with every single person.. Ah ya!”
That insufferable Li Hai Jiao. Is pinching someone that fun to him?
“But young master...” Li Er frowned with conflicting emotions ailing her heart.
“I... ahem, How dare you go against the orders of Young Master? Get out!”
If Li Er doesn’t go, then her waist will have one big mass of blue black bruises.
“The medicine...”
“I don’t need it. I feel perfectly fine, so we will talk about this in the morning.”
“Then.. I’ll go and ask the kitchen to end their work now.”
That pitiful girl. Tsk tsk tsk, she was so scared until she didn’t dare to sleep for the whole night. It was as if servants like them were not ordinary human beings who were brought up by their own mom and dad. They toiled so hard all day to the brink of death and they can only blame themselves by being reincarnated and born to the wrong family.
They were all living in the same situation, so Tang Cheng Cheng was a bit more gentle when she spoke to them. It was as if she was speaking to her own younger siblings.
“Go now, you should go to sleep soon.”
Did she hear the Young Master gently telling her to go and rest? Li Er’s small face blushed at that.
“Yes, Young master. Li Er will go and sleep now.”
Li Er bowed down low in respect until her head reached her thighs[2], her back was even more graceful[3] than usual as if she was trying to seduce someone.
Once she had confirmed that Li Er was gone, Tang Cheng Cheng immediately pulled the bed curtains open and shouted at him,
“Why the hell did you keep pinching my waist?”
“You should listen to the way you were talking. It sounded exactly like a woman.” Did she even know that the way she spoke just now was full of weird Yin and Yang energy[4]?
“I am a woman after all!” It's just that she was now mysteriously casted into a man’s body.
“Be sure to deepen your tone in the future.”
“Future?” Tang Cheng Cheng finally faced Li Hai Jiao while she sat on her heels.
“Yoooung, Young master... Are you young master Li Hai Jiao?”
Li Hai Jiao nodded his head, his eyes held a bit of bewilderment.
Heavens! She had really guessed it correctly. The one that had entered her body was the heir of Li family!
“Young master...” It was so weird calling her own face Young master.
“Do you know what situation we are in right now?”
Li Hai Jiao suddenly grabbed her hands while Tang Cheng Cheng released a surprise breath.
“Young master, I need to declare now that although I am a rough mannered girl, you cannot simply just touch my hands.”
Li Hai Jiao immediately hit her at the back of her head.
“Ow.. that’s painful!”
This person is so violent!
Didn’t she hear that the eldest Young master was a proper and strict man who followed every single custom to the tee and although he was already 22 years old, he still haven’t slept with another girl at all? He had a clean body and practiced a lot of self respect and yet she has never ever heard of him being this violent to anyone!
“You are really injured.”
Li Hai Jiao expression deepened as he looked at the the traces of blood on Tang Cheng Cheng’s palm.
TL: this was still on Li Hai Jiao’s outer body.
He guessed that it might come from the time when he was pushed down the water pavilion when the friction from his frantic grasp ended up hurting his hands.
Usually when this type of injury happened, it would heal in no time but he had dropped into the water, so the water might have caused the blood to flow out without stopping thus elongating the time for him to heal himself. He had also lost his mana when they had exchanged their souls and became a normal person. The incident had happened an hour ago but the wound was still not healed and he could see the presence of raw flesh.
“I’m really injured.”
The injury was around an inch wide. Tang Cheng Cheng tested it out by wriggling her fingers and she felt her hand was aching a little.
The skin really looked tender soft and that was thanks to him being the eldest Young master. It was so delicately formed that she had to sigh to herself in envy as a natural woman.
TL: I wanna say cis-gendered woman but it doesn’t suit the historical context.
“I don’t know what the hell is happening.” He sighed while he clutched at his head. He looked so troubled at that moment.
“What is actually happening?” Tang Cheng Cheng asked in a hurry.
“Why... did I turn into you and you turn into me? How did our bodies actually get exchanged?”
“It’s not our body that was exchange, its our soul.” He corrected her words in annoyance.
“Is there really a difference?” In the end, they still exchanged somehow!
“Your hand is injured, my hand should also be injured and tonight is the full moon of the 15th day of the month. Coincidentally all these three conditions were enough to land us in this mess.”
Translation corner:
[1] 不管有天大地大的事 - means “No matter what”
[2] 弯腿福身 - literal translation is "bent to the thigh and leaned it flush on the body" means bending very low in a sign of great respect.
[3] 婀娜多姿 - means graceful actions
[4] 阴阳怪气- yin usually represents the woman's energy while yang is used to describe a man's energy. It translates roughly to the above and in this case it means that she sounded like a woman wearing a man's body.
Oh my god.... I can feel her pain when she said her chest was flat and board like!
