As Ji Xiaoxi spoke, she grabbed his hand and ran towards the classroom and dormitory in a hurry.
Zu An was taken aback. If Zheng Dan had come to him, he would have definitely thought of that.
But Ji Xiaoxi's personality couldn't possibly mean that.
"Xiao Xi, what's wrong? Why are your hands so hot?" Zu An was initially admiring how soft and comfortable her little hands were, but he immediately realized something was wrong; her body temperature was far too high.
"Let's talk when we get to your room." Ji Xiaoxi pursed her lips and ran ahead quickly.
Suddenly she trembled and stopped abruptly, clamping her legs tightly together, too afraid to move.
"Let me carry you over." Noticing her conflicted expression, Zu'an assumed she was in a hurry to pee, and besides, she was too introverted to say many things.
So he decided to help her out of the predicament, and went over to pick her up in his arms.
Ji Xiaoxi was very light and soft when held in my arms.
"Don't touch me..." Ji Xiaoxi exclaimed, but she was picked up by him before she could finish her sentence.
"What's wrong?" Zu An was genuinely puzzled as he felt the girl in his arms trembling rhythmically.
"It's nothing, take me to your room." Ji Xiaoxi buried her face in his chest, and her expression could no longer be seen.
Zu An suddenly had a thought. Her expression and physical reaction looked somewhat familiar. It seemed that both Qiao Xueying and Zheng Dan had reacted similarly before.
"Could it be that she was drugged with an aphrodisiac?" This thought was immediately dismissed by Zu'an. After all, Ji Xiaoxi had been dealing with all kinds of medicinal herbs since she was a child, and she had a father who was a divine doctor like Ji Dengtu. What guy was so capable of poisoning her?
Upon arriving at the dormitory, Zu An was pondering how to ask her how to help her without hurting her pride, since judging from her condition, she was probably already...
At this moment, Ji Xiaoxi spoke up: "Brother Zu, could you please fill the bathtub with cold water for me? Don't add any hot water."
The academy has a large number of rune masters who study how to improve human life. Therefore, the classrooms and dormitories are conveniently located near the water, with private bathrooms and hot water that can be turned on at any time, making them almost as comfortable as hotels in my previous life.
"Take a bath?" Zuan's expression was a bit strange. He really wanted to Google what it meant for a woman to go to a man's house to take a bath.
Are you sure you didn't come here on purpose to seduce me?
However, he immediately realized that Ji Xiaoxi was definitely not that kind of person, and her request was strange: "Why don't you want any hot water at all?"
"There's no time to explain." Ji Xiaoxi struggled to get out of his arms, then ran to the bathroom and started filling the tub with cold water.
She often visited her aunt Jiang Luofu's house, so she was very familiar with the layout of the college teachers' dormitories.
If my aunt hadn't been away today, I wouldn't have had to come here.
"What's wrong with you..." Zu'an wanted to ask again, but was pushed out. Then he heard the sound of clothes being taken off in the bathroom, followed by the sound of bodies entering the water.
Hearing the loud thud, Zu'an hurriedly asked, "Xiao Xi, did you fall?"
At first there was no response, and Zu An was getting restless when Ji Xiaoxi's weak voice came through: "No."
"Call me if you need anything," Zu An shouted. She was acting so strangely today that he couldn't help but worry. He didn't dare to go too far, so he simply found a stool and sat down by the door.
After a while, Ji Xiaoxi's soft voice came again: "Brother Zu, are you still there?"
"Yes," Zu'an replied, but her heart skipped a beat. She felt that her voice sounded sweeter and more coquettish than before.
There was another moment of silence in the bathroom, before a voice finally came through: "Brother Zu, could you come in for a moment?"
Zuan: "???"
Is there really such a good thing?
"This might not be a good idea." He couldn't help but look around to see if Ji Dengtu was hiding somewhere.
"I need... I need your help." Even through the door, you could feel Ji Xiaoxi's embarrassment.
"Okay, I'm coming in now. Don't yell, or people will think we're up to something." Zuan said as he pushed the door open and entered.
At this moment, Ji Xiaoxi was completely immersed in the bathtub, lying on the edge of the tub with only her neck and part of her shoulders exposed. She truly looked like a lotus emerging from the water, or a peeled egg, crystal clear, as if one were afraid of breaking her.
"Alright, Brother Zu, you can just stand there," Ji Xiaoxi said weakly.
Zuan was taken aback, then realized that the water in her bathtub was cold and there was no steam at all. If she got any closer, she could see everything in the water.
"Okay, I won't move." Zuan raised his hands. "By the way, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"
At that moment, he realized that something must have gone wrong.
"Throw those medicines from my bag over here first." Ji Xiaoxi's gaze fell on the clothes scattered on the ground, clearly she had just taken off her clothes in a great hurry.
Zuan looked at her strangely and picked up her still-warm dress. A special fragrance mixed with the scent of medicine and the youthful scent of a girl wafted out.
Seeing her underwear being held by a man, Ji Xiaoxi blushed even more and hurriedly reminded him where the various medicinal herbs were.
Zuan followed her instructions and threw all the medicinal herbs into the bathtub.
After a while, Ji Xiaoxi's expression softened slightly: "Thank you, I was just drugged with that kind of vile aphrodisiac..."
Zu'an was furious: "That heartless bastard gave you this kind of drug, I'll beat him to death!"
