"Huanhuan, is this strength okay?" Pei Ji asked.
Xue Huan felt his hot breath on her back as he spoke, and she couldn't help but shiver. She moved uncomfortably, causing the water surface to shake. The layer of petals on it rose and fell, and two petals touched her snow-white back.
The petals were bright red, making her agar-like skin look even more shockingly white.
Pei Ji reached out and carefully took off the two petals, but did not put them back into the bathtub. Instead, he brought them to his nose and sniffed them, then put them in his arms and placed them close to his body.
After doing all this, he realized what a perverted act he had just made, and the tips of his ears were red as if bleeding.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Huanhuan had her back to him at the moment, otherwise she would be scared by him seeing him like this.
But it was precisely because she had her back to him that he could let his eyes fall on her freely. Otherwise, she would have noticed something was wrong the moment they met.
How could he know that although Xue Huan had her back to him, her consciousness was staring at him, and she was watching his every move.
But she would rather not see it.
She never expected that Pei Ji would do this to her... She wanted to take the opportunity to find his weakness and force him to admit that he had recovered his memory, but the current situation was beyond her control.
The cautious attitude he used as if treating a treasure, the shyness in his eyes that didn't know where to put it, and the burning heat deep in his eyes... She couldn't help but feel that he would pounce on her and eat her up at any time.
Xue Huan suddenly realized that her decision to let him rub her back was a complete mistake! She wasn't trying to make things difficult for him; she was clearly putting herself right in his arms!
She hurriedly withdrew her consciousness, not daring to meet his eyes again, for she was afraid that she would drown in his eyes.
But she was unwilling to stop there.
Now he was the one being tested, so why was she being so shy? Don't be timid, just go for it! She didn't believe he would dare to do anything to her.
Xue Huan suddenly turned around. Pei Ji had no time to hide his expression and could only lower his eyes in panic, "Huan Huan, why did you turn around so suddenly?"
Humph, you pretend to be so serious, looking pure and innocent.
Xue Huan took the handkerchief from him and said, "I can do it myself. You can go out now."
Pei Ji said "Oh" and turned to walk out.
Another voice came from behind: "Don't leave, help me dry my hair later."
"Well, I won't leave. Huanhuan, take your time washing."
Pei Ji sat down on the soft couch that Xue Huan often sat on. There were two pillows placed casually on it. Although the patterns were a bit strange, they were extremely cute and soft, and they felt soft when held in his arms.
He lay down, picked up a pillow and held it in his arms, buried his face in the pillow, and took a deep breath. It was her scent.
"Ouch!" A cry of pain came from inside.
Pei Ji immediately put down the pillow and ran in, "Hanhuan——"
Behind the screen, Xue Huan fell to the ground - a fake fall, of course - to further test Pei Ji's reaction.
For this purpose, she deliberately wore a red suspender nightgown with the hem slightly above her knees, exposing her arms, shoulders and collarbones, and the large area of snow-white skin was dazzling.
For modern people, this style of nightgown is nothing, but for people of this era, this nightgown can be said to be revealing and bold.
Especially at this moment, she was still in a fallen position, with her upper body lying on the ground, and the hem of her skirt lifted up, barely covering her legs, and her two long, snow-white legs like tender tofu were completely exposed.
This was a seductive pose she had deliberately created.
The soft breasts, the perky buttocks, and the surprisingly full curves directly caught Pei Ji's eyes.
Pei Ji never expected that what would greet him behind the screen would be such a vivid scene. His mind went blank and his eyes were out of control, glued to her uncontrollably.
His Adam's apple rolled rapidly a few times, and he felt extremely thirsty, and only she could quench this thirst.
Xue Huan stood up by herself and looked at him with cold eyes. The moment their eyes met, Pei Ji suddenly realized that she was testing him!
Whether it was when she asked him to rub her back before, or when she fell down now.
In the past, he could not hide the thoughts of anyone around him, but now, she became the only exception. As soon as he saw her, his heart and eyes were filled with her, and his mind was full of her, and he could not think of anything else.
So he only discovered this now.
Xue Huan approached him step by step, and Pei Ji retreated step by step. Judging from his stature, he was a head taller than her and clearly had an absolute advantage. However, at this moment, he was the weaker one.
Like a big bad wolf that is gradually forced into a desperate situation.
Pei Ji's back hit the wall and he had to stop.
Xue Huan stopped two steps away from him and said, "Pei Ji, don't you have anything to say to me?"
She was giving him one last chance.
Pei Ji's heart sank, and he wanted to struggle again, "Hanhuan, what's wrong with you? Did I do something to upset you?"
Xue Huan didn't expect that he was still pretending at this time!
He sneered and clapped his hands, his tone seemingly admiring but actually mocking: "Pei Ji, it's a pity that you don't go to act."
Turn around and leave.
Pei Ji was completely panicked. He strode forward and hugged her from behind, not letting her leave. "Hanhan, don't go. I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you."
Xue Huan was truly angry. She said expressionlessly, "It's too late. I've already given you the chance to admit it, more than once, but you chose to continue hiding it. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has recovered his memory, our Xue family's small temple can't accommodate a giant like you. You should leave tomorrow. I'll tell Mother and the others then—"
Something hot and wet hit my shoulder.
Xue Huan took a moment to react and realized that he was actually crying!
Oh my god! Did she say something really harsh? Even if she was angry, she didn't say anything hurtful, did she? Why was he crying?
"Hanhuan, don't chase me away..." Pei Ji locked his arms around her tightly, tears falling on her one by one.
Xue Huan told herself that she couldn't give in just because he cried. Who knew if he was just acting? After all, he had always played the role of an amnesiac so convincingly.
"Your Highness, your memory has been restored. Why do you still refuse to leave? Don't you want to seek revenge on the person who nearly killed you? Don't you want to go back and take back everything that belongs to you? Don't you want to fight for the supreme position?"
Pei Ji answered obediently: "I have found out. The one who sent someone to assassinate me on the road was my second brother's man, but actually my eldest brother was also involved in it, and I have already retaliated. As for that position, I have already arranged it in secret. Even if it is here, what happens in the capital will be reported to me. Huanhuan, please don't chase me away, okay?"
