Chapter Sixty-One: The Wine is Named "Tender as a Fingertip"



Taking a bath is something that should be done in moderation.

Therefore, Chu Qinghe had already calculated the size of these iron barrels in the backyard when he designed them.

After adjusting the water flow rate from the bamboo tube, the hot water in the iron bucket was slowly drained in about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Therefore, as the flow of water used to keep the pool warm, which was being poured into the bamboo tubes, began to decrease, Chu Qinghe got up from the pool.

Hearing the splashing water nearby, Qu Feiyan, her face flushed from being soaked, opened her eyes and asked, "Young Master, you're up already?"

Hearing Qu Feiyan's voice, Chu Qinghe, who was getting dressed, said, "Soaking for too long is not good. You shouldn't soak for too long either."

After getting dressed, Chu Qinghe lifted the curtain in the middle and walked outside.

As he walked, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but glance at the pool.

Unfortunately, the fog was thick at the moment, and under the swirling mist, Chu Qinghe could only see the heads of Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, and Qu Feiyan, but he couldn't see anything else clearly.

After Chu Qinghe left, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, who had been in the pool, also got up one after another.

When Qu Feiyan looked up and saw Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue walking out of the pool, she couldn't help but look down at herself.

Then, after the little girl's lips curled into a slight smile, her mood suddenly turned sour.

As Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue walked to the edge of the pool one after the other, the water on their bodies and hair was dried in just a few breaths as their true energy circulated.

After changing my clothes, I felt completely refreshed and relaxed, as if all the makeup had been washed away.

When Chu Qinghe returned to the backyard, he was already sitting on a stone bench, warming a pot of wine and sipping it while admiring the night view.

Accompanied by the aroma of fruit and wine, the three women took their seats one after another.

In contrast, Chu Qinghe's gaze also shifted from the night sky to the three women.

Since they had just come out of the pool, and considering the medicinal wine and herbs that Chu Qinghe had added to the pool earlier.

All three women had a slight blush on their faces.

Especially Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue.

Although not as red as Qu Feiyan's face, which was as red as a monkey's bottom, it was just two faint blushes.

But it was this faint blush that gave the two women completely different feelings.

Under the light, it lost some of its usual indifference and aloofness, and gained a touch of charm.

Even Chu Qinghe couldn't help but take a few more glances at this moment.

If it were any other man, daring to so brazenly cast his gaze upon the two of them, let alone Yaoyue, Dongfang Bubai would probably have sneered inwardly and then raised his hand to send the other man to his death.

But as we all know, good-looking people have clear eyes that don't annoy people.

Therefore, when the object of their attention was Chu Qinghe, both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue allowed Chu Qinghe's gaze to fall upon them.

However, the moment the wine touched their lips, they experienced a completely different taste, and both Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai let out a soft exclamation.

Especially for Yaoyue, after feeling the slight changes in her internal energy after the wine entered her mouth, Yaoyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

"This wine can increase one's martial arts skills?"

Qu Feiyan, who was standing to the side, also looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "Young Master, you've changed to a different kind of wine again?"

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Yes! Otherwise, drinking the same kind of wine every day would be boring."

As he spoke, Chu Qinghe glanced at Qu Feiyan, who was downing each drink in one gulp, and added, "This wine is called 'Soft as a Fingers,' it has a strong aftereffect, so take it easy."

Upon hearing the sound, Qu Feiyan, who had picked up her wine glass again, paused for a moment before taking small sips.

Only when Yaoyue looked at the wine in her cup did she still have a look of surprise in her eyes.

After a few drinks, Qu Feiyan finally took the chessboard out of Chu Qinghe's room.

However, after playing this game every day, Chu Qinghe's interest in Gomoku has waned.

Therefore, after defeating the three women several times, Chu Qinghe gave up his position, and then the three women fought on the chessboard while he offered advice from the sidelines.

Perhaps out of boredom, after watching Dongfang Bubai bully Yaoyue, who was still inexperienced in Gomoku, for a while longer, Chu Qinghe slowly got up and went into the room.

When he came out, he was holding a seven-stringed zither.

When they saw Chu Qinghe come out of the room carrying a zither, the three women's eyes immediately turned to him.

When his gaze fell on the guqin in Chu Qinghe's hands, Dongfang Bubai asked, "You know music?"

In response to Dongfang Bubai's question, Chu Qinghe raised his chin and said, "I am, after all, a scholar, and I know a little about the Six Arts of a Gentleman!"

As he spoke, Chu Qinghe casually sat down under a camellia tree and placed the zither on his lap.

After adjusting the tone of the instrument, a soothing, melodious, and somewhat antique tune began to play as the fingers lightly plucked the strings.

At the same time, Chu Qinghe's voice also emerged from the sparse melody.

"The shepherd boy sings a slow, gentle tune, forgetting the iron horses and glaciers."

"If the mountain rain is not under my control, it adds to my carefree and joyful mood."

"Prepare for a rainy day, and when it rains, remain calm and serene, letting the rain soak your paper fan."

"I cut poems to remember the past, for I was originally a carefree immortal in the clouds."

"The nation is of utmost importance, and the borderlands are cold and desolate; to me, they are worth only half a penny."

"Why not pluck flowers and add them to wine, to savor the warmth and coldness of the world?"

"He shook his head and laughed, saying, 'All this dust and wine is contained in the cup.'"
