"That's what you call shameless. I have a friend who's had countless relationships since high school. In college, she changed boyfriends more often than she changed clothes. Don't you think she's even more shameless?"
Seeing that the other person was more shy, Cen Xi couldn't help but want to tease her. Besides, she was really shameless, but not as shameless as Jun Xiaoqiao.
Back then, the men she couldn't win over would often throw misunderstandings at her, so she could be considered to have a conscience, right?
"What are you talking about? I don't understand a word you're saying. I'm going to book my own room later and I'm never coming into this room again."
Tian Ying glared at her, then turned and left.
"No, the bath water will be brought up soon. Wash up before you go. It would be embarrassing for a Miao girl to go out covered in sweat. Alright, girl, I won't tease you anymore."
Seeing that the girl was really angry, Cen Xi quickly stepped forward, grabbed her, and said soothingly.
"I!"
"Sir, the hot water has been brought up. May I come in?"
Just as Tian Ying was about to say that she wanted to book a room to shower, the inn's waiter and two other people knocked on the door from outside.
"Come in."
Cen Xi grabbed the angry Tian Ying and opened the door with a creak.
Then, the waiter and the two men quickly filled the bathtub in the room.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
After they finished doing all this, Cen Xi thanked them.
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure."
The waiter smiled and responded, then led two people to close the door.
"Go wash up!"
Seeing that Tian Ying was still sulking, Cen Xi chuckled and waved to her.
"And you? Why do you only have one bucket of water?"
"Since there's only one tub in the room, I don't mind if we share the bathwater. So you shower first, then I'll shower. How's that for you?"
Cen Xi looked at Tian Ying with amusement, waiting for her to take off her clothes.
"I'm going to wash behind the screen; you're not allowed to peek."
Tian Ying looked at Cen Xi with some unease.
"You really think I'm a thug? What's so great about you? We all look the same. I have everything you have. Why are you acting like you're guarding against a thief?"
Seeing the other party's full of wariness, Cen Xi was speechless. Was being a little rascal with his words really being a rascal?
“You are the kind of woman who would never say such a thing. It’s only natural that I’m wary of you.”
Tian Ying glared at Cen Xi, then cautiously slipped behind the screen.
"Fine! I won't look at you, but I'll let you look at me later, okay? You're my maid now, it's only natural for you to scrub my back and serve me a bath."
Cen Xi sat down at the octagonal table, her lips stretched to the horizon, and she unconsciously revealed a hint of an auntie smile.
I haven't been this happy in a long time. It's true that making others feel awkward makes you feel good. She still has this wicked sense of humor.
"you…!"
Tian Ying was utterly speechless, but she was covered in sweat and it wouldn't be right not to wash, so she could only hold her breath and splash around in the bathtub.
However, this woman was only teasing her verbally; she didn't come in but stayed at the table outside, sipping her tea.
After two cups of tea, Tian Ying finished dressing, glanced at her unexpectedly, and said:
"Go wash up."
"You really think I don't mind your bathwater? You're so easy to fool. Get dressed, the waiter will be coming up later."
Cen Xi raised an eyebrow and then made an inappropriate teasing remark. In fact, while she was taking a shower, she had secretly gone downstairs to find Xiao Er.
Perhaps the girl was teased too much by her, because she was in a daze while taking a shower and didn't notice the sound of her opening and closing the door.
"you…!"
Tian Ying found it hard to describe her current feelings. Looking at the woman in front of her, she really couldn't say a word.
She felt a lump in her throat that she couldn't swallow, but she didn't know where to vent it.
"Hahaha...so cute! Is the bathtub full of water?"
Seeing Tian Ying's complicated expression, Cen Xi couldn't help but pinch her chubby cheeks and asked with amusement.
"You...! Take your hand off!"
Tian Ying brushed away the female hooligan's hand, stood up, walked behind the screen, and poured the water from the bathtub into the inn's drainpipe.
After doing all this, she came out and said:
"I've finished relieving myself, Your Highness. Please stop teasing me, okay?"
What if I can't resist?
Tian Ying wiped her face speechlessly, thinking that she wouldn't go with him and would go home, but when she thought of her father, who might tie her up and stuff her onto Zhu Changqing's bed as soon as he saw her, she hesitated.
She didn't say anything, she just shut her mouth. Let them tease her, it won't hurt her.
Soon, the waiter brought two more people and filled the bathtub in the room with water.
After thanking them, Cen Xi touched Tian Ying's face and then asked her to rub her back.
She gets shy and angry all the time. This won't do. Think about how she and Jun Xiaoqiao used to run around on the beach in bikinis.
If Tian Ying found out, she'd probably dig a hole in the sand and crawl into it no matter what.
"You...! You really treat me like a maid."
Tian Ying found it hard to believe that she was really going to ask her to rub his back.
"Otherwise what? What are you being so coy about? We're both women, you have what I have, and I even have a better figure than you. You're not at a disadvantage, are you? Besides, if you want my protection, you have to listen to me. Although my maids can only work for a few months, they should still be dutiful during that time."
Cen Xi gave her a look that said, "You'd better know what's good for you," and then swayed her hips as she went behind the screen.
Tian Ying felt a surge of anger, but there was nothing she could do. There was nowhere for her to hide right now, and she was unwilling to leave Miao territory alone.
So she hesitated for a moment before going behind the screen, then angrily grabbed a bath towel and vigorously scrubbed Cen Xi's back.
Cen Xi winced in pain in her back and turned to look directly at her. Tian Ying felt uncomfortable under her gaze and softened her grip.
"That's my good maid!"
Cen Xi smiled and let Tian Ying rub her back.
After about three cups of tea's time, the two were ready and appeared in the inn's lobby.
Seeing Cen Xi glaring at him with a girl whose face was full of resentment, Jun Jianchou couldn't help but ask:
"What did you do to her? Why does she look like that?"
"It was while I was taking a bath that I asked her to scrub my back, and she got so angry she was like a pufferfish. What could I do? It's getting late, let's go to the palace."
Cen Xi shrugged and gave Jun Jianchou a mocking look before turning to walk out.
Jun Jianchou chuckled softly and said to Cen Xi:
“Cen Xi, she’s just a girl, and this place isn’t our original world. Take it easy, don’t be so morbidly eccentric all the time. Wait a bit before going to the palace, have breakfast first. The Miao King isn’t going anywhere. By the way, he… he said he doesn’t understand Gu, so he won’t be going to the Miao Palace these days. You… Cen Xi, you won’t have any ulterior motives, will you?”
