Shen Zhiyi choked on a mouthful of water and coughed violently a few times. When she caught her breath, her heart was still pounding, but she could clearly feel someone holding her waist. Zhou Xuance's palm was pressed tightly against her back...
Palms burning hot
forcefully
He pressed her body against him.
As he removed his mask with his other hand, a voice came from beside him, “The water only goes up to your chest at its highest point, yet you still fell in and choked.”
His voice was laced with laughter and teasing, which made Shen Zhiyi frown. But then he continued, "What were you thinking about just now? You were so lost in thought that the water got cold."
What are you thinking?
Shen Zhiyi recalled the events of her dream, glanced at Zhou Xuance subconsciously, then looked away. "Not thinking about anything?"
"Thinking of me?" Zhou Xuance's hand on her waist suddenly tightened.
Their bodies pressed together instantly...
Even tighter!
Inseparable.
His aura and body temperature began to penetrate relentlessly, while the surrounding water was slightly cool, but his body temperature was scorching. The interplay of hot and cold stimulated people to the point of dizziness.
The most crucial point is:
His eyes,
It was as if he saw right through her and had her completely under his control.
He stared intently at her, his gaze direct and passionate, making Shen Zhiyi extremely uncomfortable. She reached out to try to push him away, but he only held her tighter. This struggle, however, caused Zhou Xuance to suddenly groan.
She couldn't describe the voice; it was restrained, subdued...
His already handsome face unconsciously flushed slightly.
"Still moving?" His voice was close to her ear, and his breathing became heavy.
Having lived two lives, Shen Zhiyi had seen pigs run even though he had never eaten pork. In particular, when he noticed the changes in his body underwater, he instantly froze and dared not move again.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment. After a few seconds, she tentatively asked, "Are you... feeling better?"
"Good? How is that good!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Zhiyi felt her ear being enveloped by a warm sensation.
he,
He actually...
A strange and unfamiliar feeling instantly filled her entire being.
It felt tingly and numb, like being electrocuted.
"Zhou Xuance!" As soon as she spoke, she was surprised to find that her voice had taken on a hint of coquettishness. She felt her own face burning when she heard it, let alone others.
"I am here."
"The water is cold, let go of me so I can get out."
Zhou Xuance had always been kind to her. Shen Zhiyi thought that if she said that, he would let her go, but instead he held her even tighter.
She wanted to speak again...
Her lips were sealed.
When she reached out to push him away again, her hand was held, she was pressed down, and her lips were bitten. Shen Zhiyi felt a burning sensation, and the intense and suffocating tingling sensation made her breathless.
In her moment of passion, she heard a voice in her ear: "Yiyi, are you still cold?"
cold?
She felt as if she were on fire.
Just then, a short knock came from outside. Hongrui asked, "Miss, would you like some hot water?"
“No need,” Shen Zhiyi said, trying to suppress her trembling teeth, because the other person was still pursuing her, his burning lips spreading downwards, making her heart race. “Let’s go out.”
"Now? I'm afraid I can't get out in this state..."
because,
He was still angry.
His breathing was heavy as he leaned close to her ear and said, "Yiyi, please help me."
...
Shen Zhiyi was also bewitched, as if she were under a spell, and let him hold her hand.
wanton,
teasing,
The moonlight was bright outside, and the night was quiet. It was probably only the piercing chirping of a cicada that pulled her back to her senses. This time, not only were her legs weak, but her hands also ached.
Finally, Zhou Xuance took some dry clothes, wrapped them around her wet body, and carried her out of the palace.
He wasn't wearing a mask; Red Stamen and Green Lotus stood guard at the door, and upon seeing his face, they were stunned for a long time.
"Don't just stand there, go and prepare another set of dry clothes for her," he whispered.
Hongrui nodded immediately.
The two of them were actually puzzled. This guard Xiao left suddenly. Their young lady had clearly cared a lot about him before, so why did he seem to have vanished into thin air, and she wasn't worried at all?
And now, she has inexplicably become the Regent's wife.
She knew her own daughter well, and she wasn't that disgusted by this marriage...
I never expected that Guard Xiao and the Regent would be the same person.
Everyone says he has a disfigured appearance and health problems, but...
Are they all fake?
Shocked, the two helped their young lady dress, while Zhou Xuance took a handkerchief and wrung out her hair.
This person, with his thick skin, actually ordered Hongrui to get a pillow, saying, "I'll stay here tonight."
"You're going to stay here?" Since their marriage, the two had never slept in the same bed.
“We’re husband and wife, living together, sleeping together… isn’t that normal?” Zhou Xuance looked at her with a smile. “Besides, it’s not like we haven’t slept together before.”
Red stamens and green lotus leaves droop their heads, I dare not listen closely.
He hurriedly left the room.
Shen Zhiyi was furious, wishing she could beat the bastard in front of her to death.
But as soon as she raised her hand, he chuckled softly, "Isn't your hand sore?"
"..."
"Alright, be good. If your hair isn't dry, you'll have a hard time sleeping." Zhou Xuance's voice was tinged with laughter.
For a brief moment, neither of them spoke.
Thinking back carefully, Shen Zhiyi couldn't understand how she and Zhou Xuance had developed to this point, from their initial acquaintance to their current familiarity. Recalling the various things she had dreamed about earlier, she asked, "You knew all along that the Empress was going to assassinate His Majesty?"
"Um."
"Just because the Third Prince was deposed? His Majesty has always wanted to balance the various forces, but on the day he dealt with the Third Prince, he didn't leave him any room for maneuver. It's normal for the Empress to feel resentful."
