Chapter 44 Ah, Male Mom

The bathtub in the room wasn't small, but now it felt cramped because of one person. Was it Arnold's test? Or was it Claire's presumptuous decision?

Why did they send a man here? As he was thinking, the man struggled again, and the muscles that were tightly bound became particularly obvious.

Ah, it's a male mother. If I could bury..., it must be very warm and soft... No, it seems a little familiar,

Lilith's eyes moved away from the broad chest with difficulty, and then moved upwards, passing over the mouth and falling on the mole at the corner of the eye. Only then did she understand where the familiar feeling came from.

Xie Huan? Why did he appear here, and in such a posture?

If it was a stranger, she could just walk away, but this was the male protagonist, who knew if leaving him alone would deepen his hatred.

She coughed lightly, pulled off the silk covering her eyes and threw it aside. Her beautiful black eyes finally saw the light of day again. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the ribbon around her mouth was touched by Lilith's index finger.

The cold fingertips pressed against the burning cheek, and Xie Huan felt comfortable for a moment, wishing that there were more places where they could touch.

But the girl in front of him looked a little nervous and helpless, and her fingers hooked unconsciously.

"Let me make it clear first, I didn't kidnap you. I'm also a victim. You can't misunderstand me."

She seemed not to notice how strange the scene was: the drenched girl, the tied-up man, the beaded curtains behind her scattered and clashing like silver bells.

"I have to explain myself first, otherwise what if you try to kill me in the middle of the night like last time?"

Lilith looked at Xie Huan seriously. She didn't want to go against the protagonists, nor did she want to cause any misunderstandings.

"If you're angry, go find the person who kidnapped you and answer me when you hear me."

Being stared at by those clear eyes, Xie Huan shook his head with some effort, signaling her to look at him.

The ball rolled for a while, and then Lilith suddenly realized what was going on. She took it off in a hurry.

Xie Huan took a deep breath and finally adjusted his breathing. He bent his legs and covered it awkwardly, but his hands were still behind his back.

"clothing……"

"Ah, outside, but I can't go out now."

Lilith didn't think her words were strange. There was probably a surveillance camera outside. She hadn't figured out what was going on with Xie Huan yet, so it was impossible for her to go out now.

It was only when she saw Xie Huan's sad, angry and ashamed eyes that she realized something belatedly. After all, her eyes had been fixed on his upper body.

"Are you shy?"

She controlled her gaze not to glance downward, grabbed a towel and threw it over, while controlling her spirit to untie the restraints on her back.

"Don't worry, I don't have any thoughts about you. You don't have to be afraid that I will molest you, but there may be people watching outside now, so I can only ask you to stay here for now."

"Why are you here? Are you looking for your students again? Which reckless sentry has come over here? You need to educate us about the dangers of the auction house, right?"

Lilith was talking to herself, looking away, her wet hair sticking to the side of her face. Perhaps she herself didn't notice that her body was shivering from the cold.

If it was before, she would have arrogantly yelled at the maid to wipe her.

"I came to see you."

Xie Huan interrupted her words. Lilith turned back in surprise, not knowing what was going on.

"Looking for me, but don't you already know my identity? Alice is the Duke's daughter, and our engagement doesn't need to continue. Why are you looking for me?"

Lilith really didn't understand. Shouldn't the hero be by the heroine's side at a time like this? Why did he come to her like a cannon fodder?

Could it be that Xie Huan couldn't compete with those two little puppies and wanted to ask her for advice?

Xie Huan had already untied the rope and tied the bath towel around his waist. He stood up and stepped out, turning his back to Lilith and closing the pure white curtain, as if he didn't want to see her.

"I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter... Achoo!"

Lilith sneezed before she finished her words. Xie Huan paused for half a second, and then a slightly cold voice came from behind the curtain.

"You should sort yourself out first."

The pure white curtains reflected a figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Xie Huan leaned against the wall, his beautiful muscles flowing and powerful. Lilith stared at him for a long time and could only be sure that he probably had something important to ask her, so he endured the disgust to stay in the same space with her.

Warm water streamed down from above her head, and Lilith finally realized how cold her body was. She was almost frozen stiff.

Only separated by a curtain, she could still hear Xie Huan's breathing. Such a close distance would normally make people feel uncomfortable, but Lilith didn't care.

The male protagonist would not be interested in her, and if she forced him to get close to her, he might feel disgusted.

The sound of running water continued, but Xie Huan was not as calm as Lilith had thought. He closed his eyes and frowned. However, without vision, his hearing became more sensitive.

He could almost picture the arc of the water droplets rolling down from the sound of the water, and the light fragrance enveloped him like a cloud of mist.

In the pitch-black vision, the first blue eyes I saw were clear, transparent, and without any cover.

In fact, Lilith's eyes are really beautiful. He thought about it for no reason, but as soon as the sound of water stopped, he immediately withdrew his thoughts.

In just a few minutes, the wet clothes were washed and dried, leaving them soft and fluffy. Lilith opened the curtain while thinking that she could use the auction house as a laundry in the future.

"Okay, what do you want to ask me? By the way, how did you know I was here?"

She just went out today, how come she happened to run into Xie Huan?

Lilith looked at the other person with some suspicion. Xie Huan subtly turned his eyes away, covered his lips with his right hand and whispered,

"I happened to see you in a hurry on the road and was a little curious."

Actually, it wasn't. Lilith hadn't been to school for three days. Si Jue and Qi Hanxing kept pestering him, asking him why the teacher didn't have Lilith's contact information since she was the main wife.

Unable to bear the annoyance, he tried to wait near the auction house, and indeed saw Lilith.

However, the auction house did not allow ordinary sentries to approach. As soon as he tried to sneak in, he was knocked unconscious and thrown into this room.

Even his own students saw him in such an embarrassing state.

Xie Huan didn't want to recall the scene just now, so he lowered his voice and said seriously,

"I want to ask you, are you hiding something from me? Are you deliberately acting so ferocious because you're in danger?"

"Lilith, put aside all prejudices, maybe the truth is, you are not bad after all, right?"

The disguised mask was torn off, and Lilith's pupils suddenly shrank.
