Chapter 268: Really Unromantic
Xiao Ning finally took Shang Xi back to his room.
Knowing that Shang Xi liked cleanliness, she had someone boil some hot water.
Fill the bathtub with hot water.
Xiao Ning stretched out his hand to test the water temperature and said, "Hurry up and wash."
After traveling for so many days, Shang Xi really wanted to take a good bath.
He responded and began to take off his clothes.
When Xiao Ning saw him taking off his clothes, he quickly avoided his gaze and was about to go out, but was stopped by Shang Xi.
"Aning, what are you doing outside?"
Xiao Ning said, "I'll go out for a walk, you take your time washing."
Shang Xi came over and said, "Aning, this bathtub is very big, let's take a bath together."
Xiao Ning: "No."
"Why, doesn't Aning want to see me?"
Xiao Ning: "...I don't want to."
Shang Xi: "...but I want to see Aning."
Xiao Ning: "Are you sure you're just looking?"
Shang Xi: “…”
He's not sure.
He couldn't control himself even when Aning was wearing clothes.
Naked...
Shang Xi looked at Xiao Ning, who was standing in front of him in neat clothes, and his Adam's apple rolled violently twice.
Xiao Ning looked at Shang Xi, who suddenly became energetic, and turned his eyes away speechlessly.
"I'm going out."
After saying that, he left the room without giving Shang Xi a chance to persuade him to stay.
Shang Xi stood alone in the room, looked down, and felt helpless.
Just thinking about Aning makes him excited. What can he do?
It’s all because Aning is too beautiful and makes him fascinated.
Shang Xi took off the last of his clothes and stepped into the bathtub. The warm water flowed over his body, making him sigh in comfort.
Xiao Ning leaned against the tree trunk at the door and looked up at the night sky.
The moonlight is lonely and the stars are dim.
Xiao Ning couldn't help but think of her current pathological relationship with Shang Xi.
This kind of peace may only last for half a month. When he sets off, he will know her intentions.
By then he would probably hate her to death.
However, since she has made a choice between Tianxia and Shang Xi, she will not regret it.
It's just that it will be a little uncomfortable...
He treated her as driftwood, as salvation, and trusted her so much.
But she wanted to break his wings and imprison him for the rest of his life.
Even the prince consort he fell in love with was fake...
"Aning——"
The sudden shout brought Xiao Ning back to his senses.
She strode to the door and pushed it open.
"What's wrong?"
Amidst the mist, she saw a patch of porcelain-white skin.
Xiao Ning quickly closed the door again.
He asked through the door again: "What's wrong?"
Shang Xi said unhappily, "Come in!"
Is he something dirty?
She didn't even want to look at it again.
Xiao Ning said, "I'll go in after you finish washing."
Shang Xi said unhappily: "Come in and help rub my back, I can't reach it!"
Xiao Ning: “…”
Shang Xi thought of something, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his tone softened: "If you don't want to, just ask someone to come in and help me. I don't mind."
After saying this, Shang Xi looked at the door.
Sure enough, not long after, the door opened again and Xiao Ning walked in.
But her eyelids were drooping and she didn't look at him.
Shang Xi was not angry, instead the corners of his lips curled up again.
I couldn't stop feeling proud.
You see, Aning doesn't want others to see his body at all, but he still likes him very much.
But his Aning is too innocent.
I didn't even dare to look at him any longer.
Walking to the bathtub, Xiao Ning stretched out his hand. Shang Xi took a look and put his hand in.
Xiao Ning held it and then let go.
"...Where's the towel?"
Shang Xi snorted, "You really don't understand romance."
Then he withdrew his hand and put the towel in her hand.
Xiao Ning held the towel, came behind him and started to rub his back.
"hiss……"
"Aning, please be gentle, you're almost rubbing the skin off."
Xiao Ning: "...squeamish."
This is normal strength for her, it's not really heavy.
She rubs herself with the same force.
Shang Xi frowned and said, "Don't talk about me like that. I don't like it."
Xiao Ning: "I'm already spoiled, and I don't allow others to say anything."
Shang Xi: “…”
Xiao Ning rubbed the area quickly, returned the towel to Shang Xi, and was about to leave, but Shang Xi grabbed his wrist.
"Aning, take a look at me."
Xiao Ning said: "I don't want to see it."
It’s not that I don’t want to watch it.
But there is still an original owner in this body.
Out of selfish motives, she didn't want the original owner to see such a scene.
Shang Xi was furious when he saw Xiao Ning like this.
He grabbed Xiao Ning's hand and pressed it directly against his chest.
It feels warm, smooth and delicate to the touch, and is even better than jade.
Xiao Ning subconsciously touched it twice.
Shang Xi's body trembled when he was touched, but the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
"Aning, do you like it..."
The slightly hoarse voice brought back Xiao Ning's lustful heart.
She pulled her hand back and said stubbornly, "I don't like it."
After saying that, he fled in panic.
Shang Xi: “…”
The cold night wind in late autumn blew away the restlessness in Xiao Ning's heart.
She let out a deep breath and raised the hand that had just touched Shang Xi.
The palm of my hand seemed to still retain the touch from before.
It stirred the romance in her heart.
It made her heart feel even more achy and uncomfortable.
Why is he a man...
If she is a woman, they will be allies and she will be his most loyal subject.
If he could accept it, she would be willing to be his slave.
But he is a man.
He is also the son of the late emperor.
Over the years, he has gained insight into the court, placed spies, and deployed forces, and it is obvious that he has ideas about the throne.
When she first said she wanted to join hands with him, he didn't even say a word. She also thought the princess had advanced ideas and was different from other women of that era.
But it turned out that he was actually a man.
Things in life are always unpredictable.
He loves the prince consort, and she loves the princess.
But the prince consort is a woman, and the princess is a man.
The misalignment of their identities made it impossible for them to form a united front.
With a creak, the door opened, footsteps approached, and a warm chest pressed against her back.
"What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Ning calmed down and said with a smile, "I'm done washing."
Shang Xi hummed, bent down slightly, and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"Aren't you going to take a shower?"
Xiao Ning said, "You go to sleep first. I'll go to the bathroom and give you a quick wash later."
Shang Xi said, "You can't wash it clean like that. Anyway, there's a bathtub here. You can wash it well. I'll help you scrub your back."
Xiao Ning turned around, raised his hand and twisted his wet hair, frowning and said, "You ran out without drying your hair after washing it. If you catch a cold, you will suffer from migraines in the future."
As he said that, he pulled the person into the house.
I found a dry towel to help him wipe his hair.
Shang Xi looked through the mirror at Xiao Ning who was busy behind him, and the corners of his lips slowly curled up.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and leaned against her comfortably.
Xiao Ning slapped him on the back.
"Sit up straight. I'm here to serve you. Why are you moving around?"
The slap didn't hit him hard, but Shang Xi still groaned deliberately: "It hurts, Aning, how could you hit me?"
Xiao Ning was speechless, "Stop pretending, I didn't even try hard."
Shang Xi laughed, "It turns out Aning loves me so much that she doesn't even want to use any strength when hitting me."
