The temperature inside the room gradually rose, and the atmosphere between the two gradually heated up.
Zhou Jin initially restrained himself as he teased the water, but gradually, he began to become more and more unruly.
The large hand slid down the path, with a hint of seduction.
Bai Lingxi had her eyes closed, too shy to open them, and was dozing off when she felt this mischievous large hand...
Bai Lingxi suddenly opened her eyes and slapped Zhou Jin's big palm with her small hand, making a crisp "smack" sound.
"Zhou Jin—Hmm~"
Bai Lingxi shouted, but her voice changed midway, becoming charming and seductive, enough to melt anyone's bones with just one shout.
Bai Lingxi was startled by her own voice; she hadn't expected it to be so... alluring?
Zhou Jin could never control the beast within him. He lowered his head and kissed Bai Lingxi's lips, instantly stealing all her breath.
Their breaths mingled, an ambiguous tug-of-war, the temperature seemingly burning hot.
Bai Lingxi was breathless from the kisses, her fluffy little head resting weakly on Zhou Jin's shoulder, her small hands trying to hold down his big hand to stop him from causing any more trouble.
"I think I'm done washing." Bai Lingxi's voice was hoarse. She felt that if she continued washing, she would repeat the same mistake as last night.
Bai Lingxi couldn't help but recall last night. Although she was already out of her mind, she vaguely remembered Zhou Jin's endless demands, which were truly terrifying.
"Okay." Zhou Jin wasn't much better off than her; a man's most instinctive reaction doesn't lie, and he was burning hot in a certain place.
But he forced himself to suppress the urge. He knew that the two of them had been intimate all night, and even if Xi'er recovered well, it was impossible for her to recover so quickly.
He had just checked and it was indeed still swollen, which made him feel sorry for it, but at the same time he was secretly annoyed with himself for being so reckless.
Bai Lingxi blushed slightly as he scrutinized her. At the same time, she felt weak and dizzy from soaking in the warm water for so long, so she could only hold Zhou Jin's big hand tightly.
Zhou Jin felt her dependence, and his heart grew even hotter. A sweet feeling welled up in his heart, sweeter than the finest royal jelly from Dongli Kingdom.
"Alright, I'll pick you up now." Zhou Jin calmed himself down and immediately wrapped Bai Lingxi in a clean, thin blanket the moment he lifted her out of the water.
Striving to provide the most meticulous care, Zhou Jin also used his internal energy to help Bai Lingxi dry her body. Only after doing all this did Zhou Jin put her in the quilt.
"How about it? Is it better than your little maid's?" Zhou Jin teased, and if you looked closely, you could see a hint of pride in his expression.
"You, you still dare to say that!" Bai Lingxi pouted, embarrassed and angry, and turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.
"Hahaha, what's wrong? Doesn't Xi'er like it?" Zhou Jin's handsome eyebrows relaxed.
He felt that the spring breeze and dew weren't entirely a bad thing; at the very least, they brought him and Bai Lingxi closer together.
Zhou Jin still remembered when Xi'er had a fight with him, and it had reached the point of estrangement.
At that time, he was extremely anxious and restless, even so afraid that he had to hide by Bai Lingxi's window every night and listen quietly to her breathing before he could fall asleep.
He never wanted to relive those inhuman days again!
Even if Zhou Jin did nothing, just by quietly staying by Bai Lingxi's side, he felt a sense of happiness and fulfillment welling up from the bottom of his heart.
"Gurgle gurgle—"
In this quiet moment, a sudden sound rang out—
"Is this... Xi'er hungry?" Zhou Jin chuckled, a deep smile flashing in her phoenix eyes.
He simply looked at Bai Lingxi, who silently pulled the blanket up to cover her head, and understood. However, he couldn't suppress the smile that was curving his lips.
"Dark Five!"
Zhou Jin shouted into the air, and An Wu pushed open the door and entered. Ignoring the strange atmosphere in the room, she simply lowered her hands and listened to the command: "Master."
"Serve the meal!"
"Yes." After receiving the order, An Wu withdrew. Soon, the table was filled with all kinds of food, which looked and smelled delicious and were still steaming hot.
After An Wu left, Zhou Jin came to coax the sullen young woman.
"Xi'er, don't be shy, come and eat." Zhou Jin patted the quilt and coaxed softly.
Bai Lingxi felt that hand nuzzling inside her blanket, refusing to come out.
"Gurgle, gurgle—" Just then, Bai Lingxi's stomach rumbled again.
Zhou Jin couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.
"You're laughing at me, Zhou Jin!" Bai Lingxi suddenly threw off the blanket, her fluffy little head covered in sweat from being suffocated by the blanket, but she didn't care about her disheveled appearance and glared angrily at Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin didn't care at all about Bai Lingxi's sullen face, and instead coaxed her.
"Alright, hurry up and eat. I know you didn't eat well yesterday, so the servants have prepared it early."
Bai Lingxi originally wanted to refuse firmly, but—
The vegetables smell so good!
"Hmph, fine, I'll forgive you this time." Bai Lingxi acted like she was magnanimous, dressed herself, put on her shoes, and went to the octagonal table.
"Good, Xi'er is so generous." Zhou Jin smiled and looked at Bai Lingxi with a beaming smile.
Bai Lingxi felt a little embarrassed by the stares, her face flushed, and she lowered her head to eat her rice.
Knowing that Bai Lingxi was shy, Zhou Jin stopped teasing her. The two dined together, a gentle warmth flowing between them, the atmosphere quiet and harmonious.
