Zhuo Qing, Ju Ying, and Cui Yu quickly carried the things from the carriage into the manor.
There was no one else at Wen Yue Manor. The manor was small, divided into three courtyards: the main courtyard, the left courtyard, and the right courtyard. The largest hot spring pool was located in the main courtyard, and there were two smaller pools in the left and right courtyards respectively. The entire manor was clean and tidy, indicating that the previous owner had regularly sent people to clean it.
Ye Chaoxi pushed Xie Qinglan's wheelchair and drove her around the estate, explaining to her, "This is a hot spring estate that I specially bought. Every winter, we can come here together to soak in the hot springs. Soaking in the hot springs is good for your health."
Xie Qinglan, "This is the surprise you were talking about?"
"Isn't this a pleasant surprise? Don't you like it?"
"If you come every year, that would be a real surprise."
Seeing that Xie Qinglan looked relaxed and genuinely liked the place, Ye Chaoxi smiled and said, "It's a pity that time was too tight and we didn't have time to redecorate the whole estate. Fortunately, everything here is complete, so staying for two days won't be a problem."
"Whatever you want it to look like, I'll have Zhuo Qing find someone to renovate it and change it to your liking."
By the time the group had settled in, it was already dusk. The entire mountain forest was quiet and serene, with the faint sounds of crickets and unknown birds.
There were no ingredients in the manor, but fortunately Ye Chaoxi had made preparations in advance. Before leaving the Marquis's manor, she asked Cuiyu to get some from the kitchen, and now she asked Juying to take it down to prepare dinner.
After dinner, Ye Chaoxi couldn't wait to soak in the hot spring.
When she was a child in the village, she and some girls her age once went to soak in a wild spring in the mountains, but she has never been there since she grew up.
But she didn't forget that there was another person in the house.
So she asked Xie Qinglan, "Husband, the left and right side courtyards have been given to Zhuo Qing and Ju Ying respectively. Would you like to come with me to soak in the hot spring in the main courtyard?"
Xie Qinglan choked on his water and coughed several times before recovering. Ye Chaoxi quickly came over to pat him on the back and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Me, with you?" Xie Qinglan asked uncertainly. As soon as she uttered the words, her ear tips turned bright red, seemingly out of his sight, as if she were imagining the scene.
Ye Chaoxi nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “You take half and I take half, and we won’t interfere with each other. It’s convenient this way, since you can’t see it anyway.”
Xie Qinglan thought what she said made sense and was about to nod when she suddenly realized that he was blind, but she wasn't!
"Since you're unwilling, then wait until I'm done soaking before you go soak."
The person who was feeling awkward just now was now unhappy about not going with him, and her ears turned completely red. "Let's go together, like you said."
Ye Chaoxi instructed Cuiyu to prepare clothes, handkerchiefs, and other items and place them on the shore, so that they would not have to wait outside the courtyard and could make their own arrangements.
As soon as the courtyard gate closed, Ye Chaoxi began to quietly undress, taking advantage of Xie Qinglan's inability to see her, she undressed without any restraint.
Soon she was left with only a lilac-colored blouse and a pair of white silk trousers.
A pair of well-proportioned arms were exposed to the air, her skin was as white as snow, and a faint fragrance wafted out.
A gust of cold wind from the mountains made Ye Chaoxi shiver. She stepped barefoot into the water, and the warm spring water immediately enveloped her, relieving the chill on the shore. She let out a comfortable sigh.
"Husband, come down quickly!"
The heat from Xie Qinglan's ears had already spread to her face.
He is blind, but his sense of hearing and smell are much more sensitive.
The faint rustling of clothes reached his ears, and at the same time, the alluring fragrance lingered around his nose, along with the inviting voice. All of these stimulated him, and all the heat in his body uncontrollably gathered in his lower abdomen.
If he could tolerate this, would he even be a human being?
Xie Qinglan frowned slightly, stood up with the support of her wheelchair, pulled her belt, took off her clothes, leaving only a pair of white trousers, and walked into the pool step by step along the stone steps built along the edge of the pool.
Xie Qinglan's leg has recovered well, and she can walk a short distance on her own. Now that she's in the water, she's like a fish in water, and with a long arm, she swims towards Ye Chaoxi.
Ye Chaoxi was staring at Xie Qinglan's broad and powerful chest and abdomen, her face flushed, completely unaware of someone's approach.
It seems that Xie Qinglan has not given up exercising all these years despite his blindness. On the contrary, he has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, firm muscles, and clearly defined abdominal muscles.
Ye Chaoxi only snapped out of her daze when her soft, slender waist was pressed down. Her wet gaze fell on Xie Qinglan's face, and she complained in a coquettish voice.
"How did you cross the line? We clearly agreed that you would stay on that side and I would stay on this side, and we wouldn't interfere with each other."
"I noticed you were looking at me, so I came closer to let you see me clearly. Is it pretty?" Xie Qinglan asked in a hoarse voice.
Ye Chaoxi didn't answer him, guiltily averting her eyes before quickly looking back. What was wrong with her husband?
"Now that you've looked at me, shouldn't you let me look back at you too?"
“You can’t see it anyway,” Ye Chaoxi said instinctively.
Xie Qinglan's hand caressed her cheek, his fingers sliding down her face, past her neck, her collarbone, and then down to her lips, where a kiss followed.
“I can’t see, but I can feel; I can see back through touch.”
Hearing this, Ye Chaoxi couldn't help but blush. She secretly looked down at the man who was burying his face in her neck and could only see the top of his head and a pair of bright red ears.
"Well... only once, okay?"
"Mm," Xie Qinglan responded.
Ye Chaoxi initially thought Xie Qinglan just wanted to kiss and hug her, but she never expected...
The lilac-colored dress floated and sank to the bottom of the water...
When she finally came to her senses, she was like a small boat adrift at sea, tossed about by huge waves, battered by wind and rain.
Raindrops pattered down inside the cramped cabin, seemingly unable to withstand the heavy rain, or perhaps facing the danger of being submerged by huge waves at any moment. The small boat rocked and swayed, making the sound of its planks colliding as if it were about to fall apart.
Under Xie Qinglan's domineering influence, Ye Chaoxi's usually clear and melodious voice became delicate and charming, with an upward tone at the end, as if coated with a layer of honey, and with a slight tremor, dissipating into the air above the hot spring.
Xie Qinglan became even more frantic upon hearing this.
"Be good, feel me."
About half an hour later, the surface of the hot spring pool finally calmed down.
Ye Chaoxi's first thought was that it was fortunate that the pool was filled with spring water drawn down from the mountain, otherwise she would no longer be able to soak in it as if nothing had happened.
"Let's go up first. Staying in the water for too long will make you uncomfortable," Xie Qinglan said in a hoarse voice, a scratch mark on her Adam's apple.
Afterwards, he cleaned Ye Chaoxi's body in the pool water, carried her ashore, hastily wrapped her in an outer garment, sat her in a wheelchair, and drove the wheelchair back to the main house.
Ye Chaoxi thought she could go back to sleep, but unexpectedly, Xie Qinglan clung to her again after she lay down on the bed.
At midnight, seeing that the person was still not quiet, Ye Chaoxi still forced herself to say to him as soon as possible, "Husband, happy birthday."
The word "husband" was trembling, with a thousand turns and twists.
Xie Qinglan felt that there was no need to stop tonight. "I'm so happy. You are the best birthday gift for me."
Ye Chaoxi, "..."
Where is your aloofness? Your detachment? Your indifference to women?
