Chapter 169 Modern Era 9 This mouth can do other things too...
As the tide receded, an ambiguous atmosphere lingered in the air.
Zhong Jiuli slumped weakly on the sofa, her cotton loungewear with the neckline wide open, revealing her beautiful collarbone and a large expanse of snow-white skin.
Her originally fair skin now had a faint pinkish hue, rising and falling with her still-breathing breaths, making one feel slightly dizzy.
Bai kissed her sweaty forehead before sitting up, his gaze falling on the messy sofa, where a dark water stain stood out.
"Don't look..." Zhong Jiuli's voice was hoarse with emotion. She wanted to reach out and block Bai Ye's view, but when she realized she couldn't reach her, she shyly covered her own eyes instead.
"Heh~" Bai Ye's low chuckle earned him a light kick from the other party.
Caught off guard, she nearly fell off the sofa, only managing to steady herself by grabbing Zhong Jiuli's ankle in a panic.
This action lifted Zhong Jiuli's legs high, leaving her body, which had just experienced intense passion, wide open. The cool air brushed against her still slightly damp skin, causing her to tremble.
"Bai Ye!!!" Zhong Jiuli opened her eyes shyly, her watery eyes staring at her.
"Hey, hey, I'm here. Don't be angry, I'll clean it up for you." Bai quickly let go of her leg and walked briskly towards the bathroom.
She returned with a hot towel in her hand.
Zhong Jiuli remained in the same posture as before, her legs slightly bent, and a lingering blush on her face.
"I've wiped it off," Bai reminded her, holding a hot towel and applying it to the area.
The moment the hot towel touched her skin, Zhong Jiuli let out another suppressed groan.
Bai Ye's eyes darkened slightly as he held the hot towel and gently wiped every inch of her skin.
The gentler she was, the more unbearable it became for Zhong Jiuli. Eventually, the already damp towel became even wetter with each wipe.
"Never mind, let's go back to the bedroom to take a shower." Bai also put away the towel, picked up the person, and moved them to the clean corner of the sofa.
She pointed to the obvious water stain and asked, "What should we do with this sofa?"
"It's all your fault!" Zhong Jiuli glared at her.
"Okay, it's all my fault." Bai obediently admitted her mistake. "I know how to wash the bed sheets, but can I wash this sofa?"
"What's the point of washing? Carry me back to my room." Mr. Zhong leaned against her and said with an air of wealth and power, "We'll have someone change the set tomorrow."
"Mmm, as expected of our wealthy CEO Zhong." Bai also smiled and picked her up horizontally, walking towards the master bedroom.
Back in the bedroom, Bai settled Zhong Jiuli on the sofa, changed the sheets, and filled the bathtub with water.
By the time she finished changing the sheets, the bathtub was almost full of water. She carried Zhong Jiuli into the bathroom.
"How about we take a bath together?" Bai asked softly.
"Hmm..." Zhong Jiuli responded softly, letting her help her take off her clothes.
Steam rose gently from the bathroom, clothes slipped silently off, and the two embraced as they entered the large jacuzzi. Warm water instantly enveloped them, creating layers of white waves.
"Mmm..." Zhong Jiuli sighed contentedly, stretching her body and letting the water soothe her overused waist and trembling thigh muscles.
She leaned back, relaxing, and completely surrendered herself to the person behind her.
Bai Ye wrapped his arms around her waist. "Yesterday when I came in to take a shower alone, I was thinking how wonderful it would be if I could take a bath with you."
Zhong Jiuli smiled faintly, leaned back, and pressed their bodies closer together. "Now that you've got what you wanted, are you happy?"
"I'm very happy."
"It's not because of taking a bath, it's because of you," Bai added. "Being with you makes everything joyful."
Zhong Jiuli turned around in her arms, creating a splashing sound. The steam made her fair face blush, like an early-ripening peach in early summer, with an alluring glow.
"Let your older sister see." She reached out and gently pinched Bai Ye's cheek. "How come this little mouth of yours is so good at sweet-talking people?"
Bai also grabbed her mischievous hand, pressed it against his cheek, and said in a very ambiguous tone, "How could this mouth only talk? It can do other things too. Didn't you just experience that?"
"Are you trying to kill me?!" Zhong Jiuli's ears instantly flushed red. She shyly withdrew her hand and stood up, supporting herself on the edge of the bathtub.
Water droplets rolled down her smooth skin, shimmering like pearls under the light.
Bai also looked up, unable to look away.
Zhong Jiuli quickly rinsed off, put on a bathrobe, and turned around to see Bai Ye still sitting blankly in the water. She couldn't help but smile. She unfolded another bathrobe and gently swayed it in front of Bai Ye's reflection in the water.
Bai Ye immediately sprang up from the water like a puppy summoned by its master, and as he took the bathrobe, he pulled the woman in front of him into his arms.
"Let me wipe you." She reached for a towel.
Zhong Jiuli gently patted her hand away, "No need, you should rinse first."
"Okay." Bai obediently replied and stood under the shower to rinse.
Unlike Bai Ye, Zhong Jiuli wasn't shameless and didn't have the habit of watching people shower. She wrapped herself in a towel and left the bathroom first.
A moment later, Bai also got ready and came out, squeezing onto the dressing stool and insisting on doing her skincare routine with her.
“I now realize that I misunderstood you before.” Zhong Jiuli glanced at the person in the mirror who was very close to her, a helpless smile in her eyes.
How could she have thought young people these days weren't clingy? They're incredibly clingy!
"What misunderstanding?"
"It's nothing." Zhong Jiuli put down the lotion in her hand and took Bai Ye's hand. "Go to sleep, don't you have a full day of classes tomorrow?"
After they got into bed, Bai was very well-behaved. She was concerned that he needed to rest, and since they had already been intimate in the video room, she couldn't possibly continue to tormenting Zhong Jiuli.
She simply held him close, chatting idly for a while. Soon, their voices faded, and they both fell into a deep sleep.
Even without doing anything, the warmth of skin against skin is enough to make dreams sweeter.
......
The next morning, Bai woke up first again. She gently pulled out her arm, which had been completely numb from being used as a pillow, and a tingling sensation ran through her entire arm like an electric current.
She tiptoed away, silently moving her numb arms, grimacing as she swung them.
In that instant, she recalled a joke she had once seen: a loving couple slept in each other's arms every night, but in the end, one of them developed frozen shoulder and the other developed cervical spondylosis.
Bai suppressed a laugh, turned around and looked at Zhong Jiuli, who was still sleeping peacefully on the bed, thinking to himself, "Being able to sleep with such a beautiful wife every day, I can accept getting frozen shoulder."
She walked back to the bedside, leaned down and kissed Zhong Jiuli's forehead, then got up contentedly and went into the bathroom to wash up.
......
On the dining table on the first floor, a sumptuous breakfast was still laid out. Bai ate a few bites in a hurry, picked up the lunchbox prepared by the aunt, and left quickly.
In the master bedroom on the second floor, Zhong Jiuli woke up shortly after Bai left. Half-asleep, she groped around on the bed, her fingertips touching the sheets, which were still warm, but the man was gone.
She rolled over and into the spot where Bai had slept, burying her face in the pillow that still carried his scent, as if she were being embraced in that warm embrace once more.
With that feeling in mind, she went back to sleep for a long time.
When she woke up again, the sun was high in the sky. Zhong Jiuli threw off the covers and sat up, stepping barefoot onto the soft carpet. She walked to the window and pulled back the curtains, and the warm sunlight poured in, filling the entire room.
She stretched by the window before going into the bathroom to wash up. Then she went to the media room and took out the bouquet of flowers that had wilted a bit.
She wandered around the villa with the bouquet in her arms, chose a semi-transparent crystal vase, and untied the flowers, inserting them one by one into the vase.
After finishing all that, Zhong Jiuli leisurely changed into her outdoor clothes. Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, she suddenly didn't really want to go to the company anymore, so she simply went to the garage, picked out a car that suited the aesthetics of young people, and headed straight for Jiangcheng University.
......
It was midday, and the paths of Jiangcheng University were bustling with students. Bai Ye and Liu Yue followed the flow of people toward the school gate.
The two had been in class for half a day and were now completely drained, so they could only move slowly.
"I need to treat myself to an extra chicken leg for lunch. I want double chicken leg rice," Liu Yue said weakly, rubbing her rumbling stomach.
Bai also squinted lazily, her voice equally weak: "You ate quite a bit this morning, didn't you? You finished all the breakfast I brought."
"That happened just a few hours ago," Liu Yue retorted loudly. "By the way, you weren't joking about President Zhong inviting me to dinner, were you?"
“Of course it’s true…” Before Bai Ye could finish speaking, her phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was Zhong Jiuli calling. She immediately gestured for Liu Yue to be quiet and quickly walked to the sycamore tree by the path to answer the phone.
"Where are you?" Zhong Jiuli's smiling voice came through the receiver.
Bai also answered honestly, "I just finished class and was about to go out to eat with Liu Yue."
"Wait for me, I'll come pick you up for dinner." Before he could finish speaking, the line went dead.
Bai, holding his phone, walked over to Liu Yue and said, "President Zhong is coming to the school to have dinner with us. You can have three chicken drumsticks now."
"Now?" Liu Yue's eyes widened in shock as she frantically tidied her hair. "Oh no, I didn't wash my hair! Can you check if it's oily?"
Before Bai could reply, she grabbed her collar and leaned closer, saying, "These clothes I'm wearing are from yesterday. Do they smell? Can you smell them for me?"
"Get away from me, don't do this, it's disgusting, I don't want to smell your scent." Bai laughed and tried to back away, but Liu Yue insisted on making her smell it.
As the two were laughing and joking, a deep engine sound came from afar.
A sleek, sky-blue sports car slowly pulled up to a stop on the side of the road, instantly attracting the attention of countless people.
"Wow, this BYD looks pretty good!" a voice exclaimed from the crowd.
Bai Ye and Liu Yue, who were playing around, were attracted by the sound and turned their heads to look.
The car window rolled down, and Zhong Jiuli slightly raised her fingertips, pushing up her brown sunglasses perched on the bridge of her nose. Her gaze swept over the two people struggling together, and a slight smile appeared on her lips: "It seems... I've come at a bit too late?"
