With her long legs that made all the men green with envy, she walked over to where he and Tong Xiaohuai had left their clothes, casually picked up a bath towel, and wrapped it around her waist.

Most of the men and women in the bathhouse couldn't help but follow his long legs with their eyes.

Those blatant stares made Tong Xiaohuai very unhappy. She held onto the ladder and silently watched him wrap his towel around himself as if no one else was there. Then, he picked up her towel, walked over, pinched the two corners with both hands, and flicked it, turning the towel into a curtain that completely blocked the view of everyone.

Tong Xiaohuai climbed up the ladder with both hands, took two steps, leaned out and winked at him.

"So you're this conservative?"

Yan Bo shook his head. "I'm not conservative. I just don't want you to be seen naked. You didn't see the way those people were looking at you. It was like they wanted to devour you!"

Tong Xiaohuai's displeasure completely vanished, and she instantly felt at peace.

She raised an eyebrow at him smugly, "What, jealous?"

Yan Bo nodded readily, "Yes, any man would be jealous!!"

Tong Xiaohuai had already climbed up the ladder, and with a single stride of her long, straight white legs, she stood in front of Yan Bo.

"Young Master Yan, you'll have to keep a close eye on me."

Yan Bo wrapped Tong Xiaohuai tightly in a bath towel, pinched her waist, and said, "Don't worry, I'll lock you up in a bit."

Having fully stretched their limbs and in high spirits, Tong Xiaohuai and Yan Bo took showers and changed their clothes in the changing room, returning to the villa refreshed and invigorated.

The temporary caregiver provided by the resort told them, "Mr. and Mrs. Tong have gone for a nap. You can take a nap too."

Tong Xiaohuai and Yan Bo's bedrooms were right next to each other. Yan Bo opened the door for Tong Xiaohuai, but stood at the door without leaving.

"Aren't you going back to sleep?" Tong Xiaohuai asked, standing in the bedroom and holding the doorknob.

"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Yan Bo's intentions were unclear, or perhaps he simply wanted to come in and sit down.

However, after the near-out-of-control situation at the pool, Tong Xiaohuai was now hesitant to invite him in.

If Yanbo were to talk to Tong Xiaohuai about willpower again now, Tong Xiaohuai would definitely understand.

"Go back to sleep, I'm tired!"

Tong Xiaohuai glared at Yan Bo with a fierce look, but Yan Bo was not afraid of her at all. He took a step forward with a smile, took her hand on the doorknob, leaned over, and kissed her wary face.

After kissing her cheek, he kissed the tip of her nose, and finally, his lips landed on the corner of her lips. He gently parted his lips and bit her lip, and after she cried out in pain, he quickly withdrew, smiling and saying, "Good afternoon!"

Without pausing, he pushed open the door to the next bedroom and darted inside.

Tong Xiaohuai only woke up when she heard a loud "bang" on the door. She patted her forehead, muttered "idiot" to herself, and then closed the door in annoyance.

Why is it that he always manages to act so calmly and directly in front of her? While she always seems like a little fool being manipulated by him.

What's most infuriating is that even so, a tiny bit of sweetness actually crept into her heart at this moment.

Tong Xiaohuai pulled the blanket over her head and buried herself in it. It was not easy for her to fall asleep in a state of anxiety and slight oxygen deprivation.

In her dream, she vaguely saw a familiar figure arm in arm with a tall woman. When she got closer to them, she saw that the man was Yan Bo, but the woman arm in arm with him, with a happy smile on her face, was not Tong Xiaohuai.

Tong Xiaohuai broke out in a cold sweat and woke up with a start, only to find herself still huddled in bed, breathing a little unevenly. No wonder she felt so terrible.

Zhang Chengzhi treated everyone to dinner. The five of them sat in a secluded courtyard built against a mountain stream. The three elders chatted enthusiastically, while Yan Bo, who knew that Tong Xiaohuai loved to eat crabs, was peeling crab claws for her.

After putting down her teacup, Tong Xiaohuai unexpectedly recalled the vague face from her dream, and felt a little depressed.

Yanbo peeled the crab claws in his hand, put them in her bowl, and asked with concern, "Didn't you get enough sleep?"

Tong Xiaohuai raised her eyes and looked at him with a somewhat blank expression.

Yan Bo was slightly worried, but in front of the elders, he couldn't say anything too explicit or do anything too intimate.

An inquisitive gaze swept over her. "Weren't you fine just now? Why do you seem so distracted now? Hurry up and eat the crab claw. What else do you want to eat? I'll peel it for you."

Tong Xiaohuai reluctantly picked up the crab claw meat and ate it. However, the crab claw meat, which was usually delicious, tasted bland and tasteless today.

Yanbo noticed her unusual behavior. After she wolfed down the fourth crab claw meat, he finally couldn't resist stopping his crab-peeling work, wiping his hands clean with a wet tissue, and touching her forehead.

"Do you have a fever? Why do you look so listless and lethargic?"

Upon hearing Yan Bo's question, Tong Laoda and the others all turned to look at Tong Xiaohuai.

"Xiao Huai, are you feeling unwell? Did you catch a cold after swimming?"

As Shen Weiyao, the mother, asked the question, she stood up, wanting to come over and check on her precious daughter's condition.

Tong Xiaohuai removed Yan Bo's hand, which was pressed against her forehead to mislead everyone, and said, "Mom, I don't have a fever, I just haven't slept enough."

No one in the room believed her reason, but no one called her out on it. After confirming that she did not have a fever, the elders continued chatting, and Yanbo continued to peel shrimp and crab shells for her.

It wasn't until she let out a loud burp that she snapped out of her daze. She glanced at the mountain of crab and shrimp shells piled up in front of Yan Bo, and apologetically picked up the shrimp he had just placed in her bowl and offered it to his mouth.

"You eat it! You'll be starving, and then no one will peel crab claws and shrimp for me anymore."

Yanbo opened his mouth and put the shrimp he had offered her into his mouth.

After dinner, the two took blankets and mats to the lawn in the backyard to look at the stars. They lay down on the same mat and covered themselves with the same blanket.

"Xiao Huai, is something on your mind?"

Yanbo pulled her into his arms, letting her rest her head on his arm and her chin on his chest.

Tong Xiaohuai had been belittling herself since dinner, knowing she shouldn't be so anxious and insecure. After all, it was just a dream, completely unrelated to reality. If she were to tell him that she was upset because he had walked hand-in-hand with a woman in her dream, he would surely think she was being unreasonable and irrational.

"No……"

Even now, the suffocating feeling in her heart is still very vivid.

Yan Bo gently stroked her hair with his lips, his arms around her back. "But you don't look like you have anything on your mind."

She usually has a good appetite, especially when it comes to her favorite foods, her eyes always light up. But looking like that just now, she probably didn't even realize what she was eating.
