Qingque lifted her emerald skirt and stretched out her slender jade feet to test the boiling water, which was radiating heat, like a dragonfly skimming the surface.
She couldn't help but hiss as her pink toes touched the water's surface.
Then she turned on the tap, added a lot of cold water, and only then did she dare to take off her clothes.
Thick mist filled the air, and Qingque, her skirt half-undone, couldn't help but glance at Lin Mo, who was preparing oral medication for himself in the living room.
"Lin Mo, you'd better watch your eyes."
Qingque said with a mournful tone.
"Hey, don't worry, don't worry. After all, I'm a gentleman."
Lin Mo coughed twice, blushing slightly.
Upon hearing this, Qingque couldn't help but scoff: "Heh, you'd be a fool to think that way."
After saying that, she pulled the shower curtain shut, giving Lin Mo no chance to take advantage of the situation.
Lin Mo's lips twitched, and he suddenly remembered a line from a certain Star Core Hunter.
"Ha, stingy."
The strong aroma of medicine and the rising steam instantly covered Qingque, who had just soaked in the bathtub, with a layer of mist.
The strands of hair on her forehead clung tightly to her delicate skin, while the two long gray braids behind her floated in the potion.
Qingque covered her chest with both hands and gently sank to the bottom of the bathtub, leaving only half of her head floating on the surface, gasping for breath in the oxygen-deprived bathroom.
If someone were to accidentally suffocate and lose consciousness here, Lin Mo would gain a huge advantage.
—Artificial respiration.
Tiny drug residues flowed slowly into the capillaries of Qingque's entire body along with the water molecules, and with the help of blood circulation, traveled throughout the body, thus carefully repairing the wounds caused by the power of destiny.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
Lin Mo, who had just prepared the oral medication, wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at his phone.
"That's about it."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to the bathroom.
"Um...can I come in?"
Lin Mo scratched his head sheepishly. The usually composed and strategic man seemed completely at a loss at this moment.
Well, after all, no one is perfect.
Upon hearing this, Qingque, who was soaking in the bathtub, became a little nervous. Ten minutes?
The medicinal bath is generally divided into two stages.
The first stage is the adaptation period, which is to allow the body to become familiar with the medicine through initial soaking, laying the groundwork for the subsequent conditioning period.
The conditioning period is also very simple. After the body becomes familiar with the medicine, it can be guided by the power of destiny to accelerate the circulation of the medicine in the body. Doing so can greatly improve the efficacy of the medicine.
However, Qingque's wounds are still there, and if she uses the power of her destiny recklessly, it may cause her condition to worsen.
This is also why Lin Mo is still here.
"Okay...okay."
Qingque swallowed hard. Although she wasn't ready, the drug's duration was extremely short, and every minute of delay wasted a precious bit of its potency. Therefore, she had no choice but to agree as soon as possible.
At the same time, she took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Qingque instinctively reached out from the water and covered her face with her hands.
Clearly, the flush on her cheeks and her feverish brain were telling her that the effect wasn't very noticeable.
Similarly, Lin Mo wasn't much better off.
His face flushed, and he carefully lifted a corner of the shower curtain.
Through the thick mist, Lin Mo could vaguely see a petite, fair-skinned figure sitting sideways in the bathtub.
That's a bit exciting.
"Blue...Bluebird?"
Lin Mo asked tentatively.
The sudden sound startled Qingque, causing her to tremble and splash water as she shook her jade-like arm.
Qingque's eyes widened in surprise, and she immediately tensed up. She curled up in the bathtub, her back turned and her head lowered, her hands tightly wrapped around her bent thighs in the water.
"Hmm...hmm, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Qingque was even more flustered than he was, Lin Mo felt much better, and the blush on his face also faded considerably.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to openly lift the shower curtain, and stood in front of that pure white figure.
Hearing the pattering footsteps behind her, Qingque felt even more tense and excited.
"It's about to begin."
Lin Mo forced a calm expression and spoke.
"Ah, okay... I... I'm ready."
Qingque panicked for a moment and subconsciously gave a rough reply.
You're clearly not prepared.
Lin Mo mentally complained, then chuckled twice and put his arms around the edge of the bathtub.
Upon seeing this, Qingque was startled and quickly shrank her shoulders, afraid that the guy behind her might touch her and arouse some bad thoughts.
But little did they know that the frightened appearance of the fawn only fueled the predator's wild instincts.
Lin Mo bit the chapped skin on his lips and couldn't help but mutter, "Amitabha."
Damn it, I have to hold back!
I am a gentleman!
After thinking it over, Lin Mo slowly stretched out his hand, and the power of wind element destiny gathered in his palm. A gentle breeze blew up Qing Que's wet hair, causing a few splashes of water.
This made Lin Mo subconsciously glance at the floating water surface.
Fortunately, the three medicines Lin Mo chose were all dark-colored, which, after being dissolved in water, turned the entire bathtub into a grayish-brown color with a hint of crimson.
This ensured that Lin Mo didn't see anything he shouldn't have.
Qingque shivered; the sudden gust of wind blew away the warm water mist around her, and she felt very cold.
"Just bear with it."
