Li Wan Heng Jin

After hearing his words, Li Wan felt much more relaxed, but tears also burst out at this moment. The more she tried to restrain herself, the more she couldn't control her tears.

"Thank you, I will repay you."

She expressed her sincere thanks in a tearful voice, and the clear tears that had been accumulating in her nose for a long time "showed up" slightly at this inopportune moment.

As she raised her sleeves to cover herself awkwardly, Heng Jin, who was hiding even faster and more panicked than her, had already squatted down and was wiping the uppers of his shoes, which were as clean as new.

"I just noticed that my shoes had gotten this big stain on them. In a moment of panic, I wiped it with my hands, making the Demon Lord laugh at me. Where can I clean my hands?"

He wanted her to think that he hadn't noticed her runny nose, and Li Wan naturally understood. Li Wan cooperated and sent a message to the maid in the distance asking for water for him to wash his hands, and he actually washed his hands.

After the waitress left, the atmosphere between the two of them became subtly awkward.

"Thank you very much."

"You just thanked me once. Between us, there shouldn't be a need to thank me so much, right?"

Looking up, he met her puzzled eyes. Thinking that he had described their relationship as too close and that she was unhappy, Heng Jin quickly corrected himself and said, "I, I was wrong. I was so proud that I forgot that the Demon Lord had already severed his friendship with me."

"When you consider me just a friend, then we can... not break up."

Li Wan changed her mind for the first time and gave him a way to ease the relationship and become friends again if he didn't like her anymore. Unexpectedly, he refused firmly and decisively.

"No, a gentleman's word is as good as gold, and you, Wanwan, are the king, so you must keep your word. You said you don't want to be friends with me. I don't want to be friends with you either, and you can't treat me as a friend."

Li Wan was so angry that she was speechless. She thought that the stingy Heng Jin was saying that if she didn't stay with him, they would have no chance of being friends.

She subconsciously said something in anger and retorted: "Oh! Then I'll continue to treat you as a difficult dog-skin plaster."

After careful consideration, he said solemnly and sincerely, "That's fine. Be it a stubborn idiot or a lunatic whose brain you've poisoned, you can no longer consider me a friend. Li Wan, I'm a man who loves you, not a friend. I, Heng Jin, would rather die without any contact than be friends with the woman I love."

"Do we have to wait for Mio to wake up before we can use our spiritual power to save him?"

Knowing that she was trying to change the subject, Heng Jin was not annoyed, but rather happy. Perhaps it was because it was the first time she had said such words to him, and she subconsciously... avoided it?

In short, it’s good to have different reactions.

"No, I have to wait until he wakes up and comes to me before I can transfer his spiritual energy. After all, that is your hot spring bath. I am a stranger and not Cha Suxun. We are engaged, so I naturally cannot stay in there for long."

"I'm not bathing in it. You can come in. I allow you to come in. Now go and save him."

"Then why don't you have someone clean up first, like your belongings and stuff, and then I can come in?"

She remembered that when she came into the hot spring, everything was already prepared, even petals from the sacred peach tree were sprinkled in. Before she left, she had asked for some sacred peach tree petals to be prepared for her to try bathing in, and her underwear must have been inside, but she had been so worried and flustered about Mio's condition that she hadn't thought about it.

"Sorry, I'll clean it up right away."

She teleported back to the house and saw Cha Suxun sitting behind a gauze curtain with his back to the hot spring, staring blankly at the ground.

Perhaps it was because they ate and slept together when they were young, so he had seen all these things. After growing up, they were also close to each other, and their status relationship was even more different, so his face was not as red as Heng Jin's.

Facing him, Li Wan instantly felt more at ease.

"You're back, Wanwan. Did he agree?"

"He agreed. I have to clean up so that he, a foreigner, can come in and provide spiritual energy for Mio."

Li Wan picked up the underwear on the tray and the gauze robe on the floor-standing hanger, but the two gauze robes were too fluffy and large to be easy to hold.

"Acha, come here."

"Okay, okay."

As soon as Cha Suxun came behind her, she put on the two gauze robes, the inner and outer ones, and threw them into his arms.

The hem of the gown was too long and too big and hung down, almost getting wet. Li Wan hurriedly put it back on him, but when she found it unstable, she simply covered his head with the hem of the gown.

"I'm sorry to have wronged you, A-Cha. If we clean up quickly, we can wake Mio up soon."

Li Wan picked up her underwear and looked around where to put it, but since these things were always done by the maids, she just washed them and threw them there and left. Now she realized that she had tried several cabinets, but none of them looked good in this spacious and imposing Tangquan Palace. She simply ordered people to cancel the idea of ​​placing a wardrobe because of how inconvenient it was.

She hadn't brought her bell with her either, so she had to send for the maid to fetch it.

Facing Cha Suxun, who obediently followed her orders, Li Wan said with a touch of guilt, "I was really out of my mind. I brought you along for a ride in vain, and even threw the hem of my gauze robe over your head to bully you."

"Wanwan didn't bully me, and I'm happy about that. I'm glad Wanwan doesn't treat me like a stranger, but we're not married yet, so you shouldn't be holding these things in your arms and showing them to me directly."

Li Wan looked down at the small corner of her bellyband that was exposed, and wanted to bully him again, especially after that day.

She deliberately cast a spell to control herself to float down a little, tilted her head and looked up, meeting his gaze that had always been lowered, "Don't we have to get married sooner or later? Ah Cha will just treat it as..."

"Just what?"

"Just treat it as getting used to my wife's underwear in advance, so that I won't be so shy now. I'm afraid I won't dare to open my eyes on the wedding night, haha."

She smiled coquettishly after having succeeded in teasing him, but she never expected that Cha Suxun also cast a spell to float down a little, getting very close to her, staring into her eyes intently. She was so nervous that she looked up at him and dared not move.

The veil covering his head fell towards her as he slowly lowered his head, sticking to the tip of her nose and making her feel itchy.

"A-Cha, you..."

His tender and loving gaze fell on her soft and tender red lips. The distance between them was so close that he could feel the other's gentle breath on his face.

Cha Suxun seemed to want to kiss her, and his movements of moving closer were extremely slow.

It was so slow that both of them were extremely nervous, their attention completely focused on each other, as if they were isolated from all sounds from the outside world. The only sound left was the sound of their own pounding heartbeats, so loud that it seemed as if it were right next to their ears.

She almost convinced herself to give him a try, but Cha Suxun stopped just before kissing her lips.

"Wanwan, aren't you going to push me away?"

Noticing something, his gaze suddenly shifted to the waitress who had been kneeling beside the hot spring.

It was a rare occasion when he mustered up the courage to follow his heart, but because he was so immersed in the ambiguity of lust, he was so careless that he didn't even notice when the waitress came in. He also said such words. The regret completely dispelled the lust in his eyes.

Pulling back a little further, he telepathically said to her, "I'm sorry, Wanwan. It's all my fault. I was careless."

She knew that her maids would not look around. Even after coming in, they might have to look up to find her figure and change clothes. They were not deaf.

Seeing his face full of self-blame and guilt, Cha Suxun looked dejected as if he had made a huge mistake. Li Wan moved closer to him and stood close to him.

She telepathically said to him, "Don't blame you. I didn't notice them coming in. I just forgot I asked them to come in to collect the clothes."

Seeing that his expression hadn't changed, Li Wan used telepathy again and jokingly said, "A-Cha is unhappy because they saw you? Or because they didn't kiss you?"

Ah Cha hesitated, and she took the initiative to tease him, "Or is it both?" After a pause, she called out directly, "Ah Cha."

She did not use telepathy to transmit the message, but instead, she directly called out the sound.

"Um?"

He looked up in response.

"You can still pretend they don't exist."

Ah Cha, whose cheeks were originally just flushed, turned red from her ears to her neck after hearing her words.

She smiled with her eyes curved, she had never found it so fun to tease him like this.

"Acha, you're almost ripe."

He begged for mercy through telepathy, "Please let me go, Wanwan."

She transmitted through telepathy, "Then beg me in a gentle and soft tone, just like when I was a child and acted like a spoiled child to you. Remember?"

She blinked her big round eyes, her face almost bursting with laughter, but she still tried hard to hold back her laughter.

Cha Suxun looked at Li Wan, who was very happy and proud of teasing him. He crossed his hand, holding her robe closer to her, and used his free fingers to grasp her sleeve. He imitated the tone of her childhood when she hugged him and acted coquettishly, saying, "Please, please forgive me today, okay? Wanwan~"

Hearing him say it directly, Li Wan felt like her heart skipped a beat.

Then, a rare faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

"I told you what you asked me to do. Is that right? Is Wanwan satisfied?"

He raised an eyebrow at her triumphantly.

"Yes, that's right. I'm satisfied."

"But, that's clearly what Wanwan wanted to hear, so why is she so nervous that she's stuttering?"

"No, how could that be?" She stuffed all the clothes in her arms to the kneeling maid, turned around to look at him who was motionless, and Li Wan returned to his side, personally took the robe from his hand and handed it to the maid.

"What you saw and heard today must not be spread outside."

"Yes." The waitresses responded in unison.

"Back off, back off."

"Yes." The maids all responded and retreated.

There was no one in the hall, and Li Wan's mind unconsciously recalled everything that had just happened.

Cha Suxun had not moved from where he was before, looking at her with a smile, in a good mood.

"Who would be more embarrassed?"

"I'm not embarrassed! Humph! You did it on purpose, saying something that would cause misunderstanding and spare you?"

He chuckled softly, "Wanwan did this on purpose, didn't she? She teased me on purpose, made me shy, and now she's trying to forget it on purpose."

"How could I forget on purpose?"

"Then why did Wanwan say, 'Forgive me,' is that a pretext? Didn't I just... offend Wanwan by trying to prove her claim that my wedding night would be too embarrassing to open my eyes... and that it wouldn't happen? Naturally, I ask you to forgive my mistake."

"Okay! Stop! Don't say anymore, I understand. I'll go call Emperor Hengjin to come in and rescue Miu Mio."

"Wait a moment."

"What happened again?"

She subconsciously felt inexplicably nervous.

Cha Suxun approached her and cast a spell to dissipate the blush on her face.

"You're blushing like this and you're going to go out. The unsuspecting dead bird might think I did something to you. Now that I'm back to normal, go call him."
