Chapter 11 Pretending to be aloof, or playing hard to get?
Xiyan picked up the white towel beside her with trembling hands and moved closer to the bathtub.
The hot steam blurred her vision and made the atmosphere in this small space even more ambiguous.
She first gently wiped Xiao Nanyan's shoulders, trying her best not to let her hands touch his skin.
Xiao Nanyue closed his eyes and leaned against the edge of the bathtub. He felt the soft touch of the wet cloth and the faint fragrance emanating from the woman so close to him.
He slightly opened his eyes, and what caught his eye was the woman's trembling eyelashes, drooping like crow feathers, and her cherry-like lips, naturally rosy and moistened with a hint of moisture. He actually missed the sweet fragrance from a few days ago, and his body became more and more tense.
As the wet cloth gradually moved down, it reached his waist and abdomen.
The owner of the little hand, with his eyes tightly closed, accidentally touched something hot. The touch...
She was a little surprised. When she opened her eyes, she felt a loud bang in her head, as if a string had suddenly broken. She screamed, her cheeks burning, and she turned around in a hurry.
The water temperature in the bathtub seemed to be rising rapidly, Xiao Nanyue's breathing became more rapid, and a different kind of fire ignited in his originally cold eyes.
He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Xiyan's wrist.
"Your Majesty, what do you want to do..."
Xiyan was terrified and before she could react, she was pulled into the bathtub by him.
Water splashed everywhere, and she fell into Xiao Nanyue's arms in an instant. Her clothes were quickly soaked. She choked on the water while struggling in panic. Her hair was soaked and she looked extremely miserable.
Xiao Nanyue held her slender waist tightly, forcing her to move.
His breath sprayed on her ears, hot and rapid:
"When did you learn the tricks to seduce men?"
"I, I dare not!" Xiyan denied hurriedly.
If he were her opponent, she would have taken action by now, but unfortunately, he was her master!
She panicked and wanted to escape. She subconsciously put her hands on his chest, trying to push him away, but she had no strength.
Her martial arts were taught by him personally, so how could she be able to defeat him?
On the contrary, the more she struggled, the closer their bodies pressed together. She could even feel his burning heat through the thin layer of clothing she wore...
Xiao Nanyan sneered: "You're trying to refuse but you're actually welcoming!"
Then, he clasped the back of her head with his big hands and pressed his lips down hard.
This sudden kiss made Xiyan's eyes widen instantly, her heart beat wildly, and she even forgot to breathe for a moment.
His kiss was domineering and eager, wantonly robbing her of her breath. Xiyan suddenly felt her consciousness gradually blurring, and she passively endured this sudden intimacy, and her struggle gradually became powerless.
His big hands became more and more presumptuous, and his cold fingertips brushed across her delicate skin, bringing a tingling sensation and panic.
Until, his kiss became more and more aggressive, along her slender neck, all the way down...
Xiyan's consciousness suddenly returned. She screamed and grabbed his arm, her voice trembling:
"Your Majesty, no!"
Xiao Nanyan's movements suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowed slightly, a fiery fire burning in them, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile:
"Why, don't you want to be favored by this king?"
Xiyan turned her face slightly away, although shy, she was neither humble nor arrogant:
"Your Highness, I know that my status is lowly, like dust and grass. How dare I expect your favor? I only want to protect you and do my duty. I have no extraneous thoughts, and I don't want to mess up the relationship between master and servant."
Xiao Nanyan's eyes gradually cooled down. He grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.
"Pretending to be aloof, or playing hard to get?"
Xiyan's eyes trembled, and she met his cold gaze, then she made up her mind and showed no fear at all:
"Your Highness saved my life, and I am willing to fight for you, even at the cost of my own life. However, I hope Your Highness will not force me into any difficult situation. Although I am humble, I also hope that we can be together forever, and I do not want to be someone else's concubine. I know that there is a huge difference between you and me, so I hope Your Highness will let me go!"
Xiao Nanyan's pair of dark pupils stared into her eyes, and a strong sense of oppression came over her:
"A lowly servant girl, you still dream of becoming my wife? You are not worthy!"
After saying that, he grabbed her by the collar and threw her roughly out of the barrel, smashing her straight into the Ming pillar opposite.
Xiyan was protected by her lightness skills, she drew a graceful arc in the air and quickly stabilized her body.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, she knelt down:
"I dare not! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, her hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks, and her plain white dress was tightly attached to her body. Her exquisite figure was looming, and there was a small patch of water stain under her body, which wet the precious dragon carpet.
"You deserve to be punished for soiling my carpet. You will be punished by kneeling outside the palace for a whole night! Get out!"
Xiao Nanyue sat in the bathtub, his face as gloomy as water, his tone icy cold, and he didn't want to look at her again.
Xiyan heard this and felt as if she had been pardoned:
"I am willing to accept the punishment!"
She let out a long sigh, not daring to stay any longer, and ran out of the hall almost as if escaping.
Xiao Nanyue looked at the slowly closing palace door, his eyes dark and unclear.
As if his anger had not yet subsided, he slowly leaned back and sank into the water...
As Xiyan stepped out of the palace, the biting night wind outside blew in her face, hitting her wet dress, and she shivered instantly.
She paused for a moment until her pounding heart calmed down a little, then she quickly ran to the corridor and knelt down on the ground.
The carved stone slabs were chilling, and the chill quickly penetrated her thin clothes and spread throughout her body.
But compared to the embarrassment and helplessness she had just experienced in the hall, this little chill actually made her feel a little relieved.
