3 baths
◎ "If you take the initiative to hug me, I will let you go."◎
Jiang Yan had changed into a bathrobe at some point, entered the bathtub, and approached Cui Huaifeng calmly.
A trace of panic flashed across Cui Huaifeng's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and stood up to leave.
Cui Huaifeng walked forward a few steps, but Jiang Yan still did not move. He just thought that Jiang Yan happened to come to take a bath, so he relaxed his vigilance.
Just as he was about to pass by Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan reached out and gently pushed his shoulder. He slipped and fell backwards. Jiang Yan took the opportunity to grab his waist with one hand and pressed him against the wall of the pool.
The transparent pool water rippled because of the two people, and the water waves rippled around them. The ripples in the light were like flowing silver threads, and the originally calm pool surface shattered into several pieces of glass.
Jiang Yan looked at Cui Huaifeng, who was surprised but now looked like he was facing a great enemy. He couldn't help laughing and jokingly said, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Aren't you going to bathe with your wife?"
Cui Huaifeng frowned and expressed his refusal with silence.
Jiang Yan ignored his resistance and looked at the person in his arms slowly.
Cui Huaifeng had just showered, his hair still damp, a few strands tumbling down his temples to his chest. A faint scent of soapberry could be smelled close up. His movements had splashed a few drops of pool water onto his face, and the glistening droplets slid down his fair neck, then from his collarbone to the skin shrouded in his yukata.
He was thin but not weak, with a slender waist, well-proportioned and soft muscles, and felt great to hold in the hand.
Cui Huaifeng noticed Jiang Yan's burning gaze and quickly lowered his eyes, trying to ignore it.
Seeing his reaction so interesting, Jiang Yan couldn't help but lower her head and kiss his rosy lips. Cui Huaifeng was stunned, then looked up and stared at her.
In Jiang Yan's eyes, his angry glare was no different from an angry cat acting coquettishly, which made Jiang Yan feel itchy and liked it very much.
Jiang Yan originally wanted to kiss him again, but knowing that he was shy, she decided to tease him.
Jiang Yan let go of his hand and smiled rather wickedly, "If you take the initiative to hug me, I will let you go."
"Jiang Yan!" Cui Huaifeng's face turned red with anger when he heard this.
Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows indifferently and waited for Cui Huaifeng with confidence. Cui Huaifeng was a cold and self-restrained person and was unwilling to do such a bold thing, so he was reluctant to take action.
The two were in a stalemate, and Jiang Yan suddenly curved his eyebrows and smiled with ill intent.
Cui Huaifeng's heart skipped a beat; he had a bad feeling.
The next moment, Jiang Yan picked him up by the waist. Cui Huaifeng felt his body lighten and cried out urgently, "Jiang Yan, what are you doing!"
Jiang Yan did not answer, but walked steadily to one side of the bathing pool. Probably to set up the scenery on the bank of the pool, there was a section of the edge of the bathing pool paved with jade stones of different sizes.
Jiang Yan placed Cui Huaifeng on the uneven jade stone and stood opposite him.
Cui Huaifeng was sitting on the side near the bathtub and his center of gravity was unstable. He subconsciously fell forward and threw himself into Jiang Yan's arms, hugging her tightly while trembling.
Jiang Yan's lips curled slightly, obsessed with the feeling that he could only rely on herself.
"Jiang Yan, put me down." Cui Huaifeng still couldn't keep his balance and was very angry.
"I didn't stop you from coming down. You were the one who wanted to hug me." Jiang Yan looked innocent.
Cui Huaifeng was a little annoyed. She was just having fun watching him in such an embarrassing situation. He hated being treated like a lover.
"Jiang Yan!"
Jiang Yan blinked, decided to stop while he was ahead, and carried Cui Huaifeng down.
Cui Huaifeng's breathing was unstable and his eyes were red. He immediately shook off her hand and left without saying a word.
Jiang Yan did not chase after him. Instead, he hummed a little tune and soaked himself in the bathtub.
After a moment, her smile faded away, and I didn't know what she was thinking.
————
After taking a shower, Jiang Yan did not rush back to his room. He went to the study to handle some official business first and did not return until the evening.
The moon was bright at night and the lights in the room were still on. Jiang Yan waved his hand to let the servant waiting at the door leave, and stepped into the bedroom.
When she entered the room, Cui Huaifeng was already lying down.
Jiang Yan took off his outer robe, hung it on the wooden plank, and climbed onto the bed. Cui Huaifeng was motionless, seemingly already asleep.
Jiang Yan knelt behind Cui Huaifeng and leaned over to take a look. His expression was calm and his sleeping posture was standard, but his back was tense, not the completely relaxed posture of falling asleep.
Jiang Yan asked tentatively, "Are you still angry with me?"
Cui Huaifeng didn't say anything, only the sound of very light breathing.
Jiang Yan thought about it and deliberately said to himself: "Okay, since you are asleep, I will take this opportunity to kiss you a few more times. Anyway, you don't know."
Jiang Yan was so shameless that Cui Huaifeng, who was pretending to be asleep, had to turn around and open his eyes to look at her. There was a bit of resentment in his bright eyes.
"Are you finally willing to pay attention to me?" Jiang Yan couldn't help laughing.
Cui Huaifeng said softly, "Is there anything wrong? If not, I will go to sleep first."
"Really," Jiang Yan said seriously, sitting with his legs crossed. "I was wrong in the bathtub. I admit my mistake, but you haven't taken the initiative to hug me today."
Cui Huaifeng sat up, pinching his brows helplessly, not understanding what she was up to.
Jiang Yan acted coquettishly and threatened: "Really, if you take the initiative to hug me, I will not pester you tonight, otherwise I will never give up tonight."
Cui Huaifeng knew that she would definitely do what she said now. He thought that if he didn't agree, she would definitely use other torturous methods to deal with him.
Cui Huaifeng sighed, forced to compromise. He pursed his lips, trying to convince himself. Jiang Yan was not in a hurry either, waiting with interest.
After a while, Cui Huaifeng approached Jiang Yan, stretched out his arms, and gently hugged Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan was satisfied and hugged him tightly with her arms, but her mouth was still busy.
"Don't you look like a husband who has been wronged and actively seeks comfort from his wife?"
"You! It's obviously you..." Cui Huaifeng felt his face getting hot when he heard that, and he felt that Jiang Yan was unreasonable.
"Okay, okay, it's your wife's fault." Jiang Yan stopped teasing him and hugged him and lay down on the bed.
Jiang Yan couldn't hide his smile, covered him with the quilt, closed his eyes, and whispered, "Go to sleep."
Cui Huaifeng looked up at the woman in front of him, feeling mixed emotions.
A few years ago, not long after the two met and became friends, Jiang Yan invited him to go for an outing by the river in the suburbs.
The day of the invitation was sunny and windy. The air was exceptionally fresh due to the rain the day before, but the shore had also become slippery. While strolling, he accidentally fell into the water. Fortunately, the water was shallow, so nothing serious happened, though his clothes were soaked.
At that time, Jiang Yan originally wanted to pull him up, but when he saw that he was wet, his face immediately turned red and he turned around immediately, stuttering when he spoke.
"Mr. Cui, are you okay?"
"Nothing." Cui Huaifeng stood up and carefully got out of the river.
Jiang Yan felt relieved when she heard him step onto the grass. She quickly turned her back to him, took off her outer robe, and clumsily handed it to Cui Huaifeng, "Master Cui, if you don't mind, you can wear my outer robe first."
Cui Huaifeng took her outer robe and looked up at Jiang Yan. She never raised her head from beginning to end, and her face was redder than a ripe cherry in summer.
At that time, he thought that Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess was a pretty good person.
The past was like smoke. Cui Huaifeng smiled briefly, closed his eyes, and fell asleep unknowingly.
