Pot Calling the Kettle Black

Chen Yushu saw that her trickery scheme had worked. She became super happy. She continued to pretend to be focused on spraying down the house. After a while, she looked at Chu Mengyao again with a mischievous glint in her eyes and couldn’t help but snicker, and then slipped the water hose out from her hand.

“Ah!” Chu Mengyao screamed again, turned her head, glaring at Chen Yushu: “Shu, what are you doing?”

“I’m sorry, Yaoyao sis, I wasn’t paying attention...” said Chen Yushu timidly.

“Didn’t pay attention... will you pay closer attention next time?” Chu Mengyao saw Chen Yushu’s cute expression, and she just couldn’t scold her when Yushu has that facial expression. In the end, Mengyao just shook her head, “Hurry up and finish the work!”

“Alright...” Chen Yushu had once again escaped unscathed.

Chu Mengyao was suspicious that Chen Yushu was being deliberate. This girl was always mischievous. When they were younger and played together, Yushu often did some naughty things, so Chu Mengyao had grown accustomed to it and learned to be a little smarter each time. Although she continued to wash the house with the hose, her eyes were on what Chen Yushu was doing.

After a while, Chu Mengyao noticed Chen Yushu’s sneakily looking back at her. When Yushu saw that Mengyao didn’t respond, she cracked a grin, then flicked the direction of the water hose toward Mengyao.

Chu Mengyao was pissed, what a wild tactic by Yushu. How dare she use this type of method to sneak an attack on her?

Chu Mengyao violently slipped backward. She turned the water hose in her hand towards Chen Yushu and water immediately sprayed all over Chen Yushu’s hair and face. Now, the wet chicken was Yushu.

“Ah, ah...” Chen Yushu screamed and dropped the water gun in her hand. Instead, she used both her hands as a shield to block the flow of water from Chu Mengyao. How could a pair of hands block something like that? In an instant, Chen Yushu was soaked from head to toe!

Chu Mengyao didn’t have the heart to continue spraying her. Mainly due to the fear of her catching a cold, Mengyao looked at the angry Chen Yushu.

“Yaoyao sis, why did you drown me in water... wuu wuu wuu... I’m all drenched...” Chen Yushu wiped the water from her face. She looked as if she had just walked in a downpour of rain.

“Shu, that’s the pot calling the kettle black? What did you do before?” Chu Mengyao looked at Chen Yushu’s griefed expression while asking with a goofy face.

“Me? I didn’t do anything? I was just spraying down the house...” Chen Yushu looked at Chu Mengyao puzzled.

“Your water hose. You thought I wasn’t paying attention and sprayed me! Don’t think I didn’t see that!” Chu Mengyao said when Chen Yushu did not admit it. Instead, she grasped onto Chen Yushu’s cheek and pulled.

“Ouch, that hurts!” Chen Yushu screamed and looked a little embarrassed. She continued, “So I was caught by you, Yaoyao sis...”

“See! And you said it wasn’t intentional?” Chu Mengyao found out that Chen Yushu was still so naughty. She was still a child at heart even though she was all grown up.

“I... I just thought it was fun...” Chen Yushu saw her playful scheme was debunked by Chu Mengyao, and she stuck out her tongue and closed down on it to make a cute expression, “Yaoyao sis, I am just joking around, you won’t be angry right?”

“You give me a big headache. If I were to get angry with you every time then, I would’ve died from anger issues!” Chu Mengyao said speechlessly. “I don’t think you should continue claiming those titles like Shu the spy or the negotiator. Your title should be Naughty Shu instead! Quit messing around and clean the wall!”

“Hey, Yaoyao sis, you know me so well! Do you want to play with a water fight for a while? We haven’t played for a long time, has it been more than ten years since our last water fight?” Chen Yushu asked with some nostalgic tone.

“Play?” Chu Mengyao was actually very lonely as a single child. She has limited forms of entertainment activities. In fact, there was never too much to do. Aside from sitting at home to watch television with Chen Yushu, playing computer games, she didn’t do much. She rarely went to arcades or theme parks.

One of the main reasons was because both she and Chen Yushu were going to enter their third year of high school. In addition to their daily studying schedule, they rarely had time to play. Another reason was that the arcades were filled with people with suspicious backgrounds, which made Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu afraid of going.

With Lin Yi around, that was no longer a concern, but when would the opportunity come up?

Therefore, Chen Yushu’s suggestion for a water fight moved Chu Mengyao’s heart a little. Mengyao replied, “How do you want to play?”

“We continue to wash the wall, and then secretly spray each other with the water hose to see how quickly we can dodge and react?” Chen Yushu thought about it.

“...” Chu Mengyao was speechless, playing sneak attack? It seems that I am not an opponent of Chen Yushu. However, once she saw how Chen Yushu was so excited, Chu Mengyao couldn’t refuse. Both of them didn’t have anything fun planned, so they agreed. “Okay, but let me add this condition first. We spray just once, so don’t plan on holding down the trigger for continuous spray.”

“Well, how do you suggest we begin?” Chen Yushu nodded excitedly.

“No, we will start on my word, when I say to begin,” Chu Mengyao wanted to take the lead advantage.

“Oh... okay.” Chen Yushu continued to spray down the wall of the villa. However, she still maintained a vigilant watch on Chu Mengyao. Meanwhile, Chu Mengyao didn’t change up her cleaning routine to show any signs of playing the game. Chen Yushu grew impatient, she was wondering why Yaoyao sis haven’t started playing. Was it possible that she forgot the game completely?

Chen Yushu was very anxious at this point. She was so anxious that she was just about to ask, but heard Chu Mengyao say “Begin!”

Chen Yushu was taken by surprise. Before she could react, she was sprayed with water from Chu Mengyao’s water hose. Her natural reflex was to suddenly scream and shout “Yaoyao sis, you are cheating!”

“Hey, against a naughty girl like you Shu, I have to resort to every means. How else can I spray you?” Chu Mengyao said with enthusiasm. “You were the one who wanted to play, haven’t you heard of a phrase all is fair in love and war?”

“Oh... that’s okay,” Chen Yushu acknowledged her misfortune. She didn’t want to stop playing so she said, “Let’s continue.”

Therefore, Chen Yushu and Chu Mengyao continued to play with their water fight. Each had equal amounts of wins and losses, but they were having so much fun that they never kept count.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Yi was using his lawnmower to cut the grass. As he turned to look back at all the commotion, he saw Miss and Chen Yushu playing around. He didn’t pay too much attention to them. Those two were always staying at home. They need to have some sort of release mechanisms to vent out their suppressed feelings. Even a dull boring life of a junior in high school can be lethal.

Lin Yi had too many things to deal with on a daily basis. Naturally, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. But, Miss and Chen Yushu’s status are different from other people. This is how the two girls occasionally vent their frustrations. Naturally, Lin Yi would not interfere. As for their participation in cleaning chores, he shouldn’t expect too much from them.

The exterior wall of the villa won’t be spotless anyway, so it was fine.

Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu had been playing for a long while before they were tired. Once they found the activity pointless, they were satisfied. That was when Chen Yushu’s attention turned to Chu Mengyao: “Yaoyao sis, should we play sneak attack on Shield bro?”
