Chapter 226 I need Lulu to take care of me...
"Xiao Cheng."
Bai Lu couldn't help but call out, and after hearing a reluctant "hmm" in response, she instructed, "You sit obediently in the tub and don't come out, understand?"
There was no response from behind for a long time.
Only a slightly cool touch remained on my wrist; once the moisture dried, it became exceptionally hot, rising with a restless heat.
“The water isn’t cold anymore,” Xiao Cheng suddenly explained.
Bai Luzhen suspected that Xiao Cheng had put all the tonics in the cabinet into the pot, hence the strong reaction.
No wonder he couldn't get warm by taking three cold showers before, even though such a large bucket of cold water could be used to heat up the water.
In this situation, we should use ice, right?
But it's so late at night, all the shops on the street are closed, even the convenience stores are closed, where am I supposed to find ice?
After thinking it over, Bai Lu could only suggest, "There are two large water tanks in the bathroom. Your bucket can only fill one tank. There's still cold water in the other tank that hasn't been touched. Why don't you change the water?"
There was no response from behind. Xiao Cheng seemed to be considering something. After some time, a sound came from his wrist.
"Okay, I'll listen to Lulu."
My hand was finally released.
Then came a splashing sound of water.
Bai Lu suddenly regretted covering her eyes. It wasn't that she regretted not being able to see anything, but rather that her hearing became clearer after covering her eyes.
Besides the sound of water flowing out, the sound of footsteps stepping out of the bucket, and even the sound of Xiao Cheng walking barefoot inside, all could be heard.
Not to mention the sounds of Xiao Cheng carrying the large bucket into the bathroom, emptying it, refilling it, and then carrying it out again.
The sound of stepping back into the bucket was so clear it made my eardrums burn.
Bai Lu's hand, which was hanging by the side of the chair, still held the warmth of the passionate kiss, was grasped again before it had even faded halfway.
This time it wasn't a burning kiss.
Instead, with her face burning hot, Xiao Cheng held her hand and placed it against his face, remaining motionless.
It was as if he was trying to cool her down with her hands, but to no avail, so he could only continue to hold hers, his hands clasped together.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Cheng's deep, husky voice came from behind again: "Lulu..."
"The water isn't cold anymore."
How come it's not cold again so quickly!
It's alright, there's definitely still water in the tank!
Just as Bai Lu was about to speak, a hoarse voice sounded behind her first: "The water tank is empty too."
"Lulu, what should we do?"
How am I supposed to know what to do!
"How about you get me a bucket, and I'll go outside and fetch you some water?"
There was a splashing sound behind me, but it quickly subsided: "You're blindfolded, you can't see the road."
"It's alright." Bai Lu stood up: "I took off the cloth strip as soon as I went out the door, and then covered myself again when I returned to the door after fetching water."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Cheng reluctantly agreed to the proposal and released Bai Lu's hand.
I went inside and took out a small bucket for Bailu.
Bai Lu was finally able to escape the sweltering heat and stand in the courtyard, taking a deep breath in and out.
The night breeze refreshed my face and my mind. I took off my blindfold and saw a broken water vat filled with ginger and scallions.
Oh... she went the wrong way.
The well is on the other side.
The quiet courtyard was broken by the sound of a water pump, which was followed by heavy footsteps a moment later.
With each step and a sound, he returned to the doorway.
After retying the cloth strips, Bailu picked up the bucket and followed the route she remembered to the bathroom.
When the bucket reached the chair in front of the threshold, he went around it and placed the bucket on the ground in front of the threshold.
Bai Lu spoke up to those ahead, reminding them, "Pour out some of the water first, then flush the well."
The sound of water being poured out rang out, and the well water in the bucket was being replaced. After the sound of water being poured out ended, Bailu reached out to take the bucket, but instead of taking the bucket, her hand was grasped.
Due to gravity, he fell into the large bucket.
In an instant, water splashed everywhere, soaking her completely. The alternating hot and cold water caught Bailu off guard.
He instinctively tried to escape, but his hands were grabbed, and he was thrown back into a burning chest, his blindfold being removed.
Bai Lu instantly closed her eyes, gritting her teeth: "If you keep messing around, I'm not going to take care of you anymore."
"We can't just ignore this." Xiao Cheng hugged Bai Lu, who was soaking wet. "Lulu has to take care of me."
"Then let me out."
The bucket is large enough for one person to sit in, but for two people, it's not just a matter of squeezing in.
Moreover, at this moment, Xiao Cheng was completely naked, and Bai Lu was not only held captive in his arms, but also forced to sit on his lap, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
The bucket had just been filled with cold well water, neither too hot nor too cold, but at a moderately warm temperature. One could imagine how hot the water had been just now, completely heated by Xiao Cheng's body.
Now, it's not just the water in the bucket that's getting scalded, but also Bai Lu, who's being held in Xiao Cheng's arms.
Bai Lu's mind went blank from the heat; all her calmness and rationality vanished, and all she wanted to do was get out of there immediately.
Xiao Cheng wouldn't let go of her: "Lulu, don't go, let me hold you for a while, just a little while."
A long moment in a century.
Bai Lu endured it all, closing her eyes and silently counting in her mind until she could no longer bear it.
"You..." He was kissed before he could even finish speaking.
Bai Lu: "!!!"
Xiao Cheng grabbed Bai Lu's struggling hands, hung them around his neck, hugged Bai Lu's body as she tried to get up and escape, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and kissed her with all his might.
Bai Lu had a bucket behind her and Xiao Cheng in front of her, surrounded by water, with no way to retreat.
The water in the bucket, which was neither too hot nor too cold, gradually warmed up.
Xiao Cheng's already burning body became even hotter, causing the water temperature to rise sharply and the air to become steamy.
White Dew has soaked through the soft, long hair that falls into the water, imbued with layers of scorching heat.
The dim yellow light shone down.
The pure white moonlight shone in through the window.
Bai Lu, who had just opened her eyes, could clearly see Xiao Cheng's tightly closed eyes, his thick, dark eyelashes, his absorbed and intoxicated expression, and his face that was still flushed.
I could feel his urgent desire, his repeated struggles, and his ultimately unyielding reluctance to let go—a chaotic energy that pounded in my heart.
Bai Lu watched and watched, neither responding nor pushing away, letting time pass by second by second.
Until the water in the bucket started to get scalding hot.
It wasn't until Xiao Cheng carried her out and back to the room that they reached their destination.
...
The river was very quiet under the moonlight.
"Pfft—" The first head popped up, followed by the second head, and then the third head.
"I've swum to the other side and back eleven times already, why is it still so hot?"
Xiao Dazhuang was filled with confusion and doubt, unable to understand what was wrong with his body.
“I’ve always drunk alcohol before, but I’ve never been like this before. What kind of alcohol is this? How can it be so strong? It made my whole body feel hot, and I felt like I would explode if I left the water.”
Luo Shiliu, though he'd never eaten pork, had seen pigs run and roughly knew what was going on. He sincerely advised the honest man, "Go find a wife and you'll stop exploding."
Xiao Dazhuang didn't understand but still refused: "It has nothing to do with my wife, it's all the alcohol's fault."
Wang Hao has a family and children, and he's been through it all. He knows what it means to feel hot in the body, but he didn't think of the tonic soup. "Those three bottles of wine were sent to the store by the owner of Tian Shang. They didn't smell as strong as last time. I didn't expect that the potency was hidden in the wine. I only started to feel irritated after drinking them."
"That boss of Tian Shang is so damn cunning!"
