Chapter 73 Couple's Bathroom "Maybe I'll become your slave..."
Is this the first time?
Okay, that's true.
The first time I was bitten.
And the first physical contact.
Bai Heng felt a faint pain in his wound.
Sang Li sat on the ground, hugging her knees, and looked at him sideways.
"...How did it feel to be bitten by me?"
Her tone was light and airy, full of curiosity.
Her eyes were bright too.
Does it really feel like you've been injected with pheromones?
However, Bai Heng didn't blush or feel his heart race, unlike in the novel.
Right, I'm not an aphrodisiac.
Love has nothing to do with sex.
Bai Heng gently wiped the mark on his neck with his fingertip.
"It's hot." He looked up at her, his voice low and husky.
That heat was like a fire, burning all the way from the wound to the heart.
"..." Sang Li choked, covering her face: "I really did it to save you, didn't you feel any sense of joy? Like a spring breeze suddenly blowing overnight?"
"Thank you for saving my life." He smiled, his eyes dark and deep like freshly washed stones, his undisguised tenderness clear and undisguised.
Sang Li breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally all better now. I was worried you might be feeling unwell, but according to my records, I don't think you'll be having an easy time. I'll help you if necessary."
"Thank you, I understand," Bai Heng said.
“You need to go back for a mental health check,” Sang Li continued, her tone suddenly turning serious. “No one can know I used my supernatural abilities, and no one can expose me! I’m worried about being locked up again!”
Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda.
Especially saving a doctor's life.
No, it won't.
Sang Li licked her lips; "We must have encountered an anomaly. Let's go back. I think we can go back to the city. Let's stop playing around. I can drive. It's not safe here anymore."
Luckily, I practiced driving beforehand.
That heavy rain turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Bai Heng: "I'm still in good health."
When they returned to the forest cabin, the sky was already very low.
The moment the two entered the room, a torrential downpour began.
The rain pelted down on the roof; a thunderstorm was coming.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared.
Sang Li stood at the door, staring blankly at the water flowing under the eaves for a while: "Let's finish this quickly, we have to leave even if it rains. I'm already very scared. What if it happens again, and biting you doesn't work? What else can I do to cover up your emotional invasion? I'll probably have to take off your clothes and do this and that to you."
"..." Bai Heng packed his things. "Don't be nervous. I'll take some medicine, it'll calm you down."
"Oh, okay." Sang Li was relieved.
Take a hot shower first to prevent catching a cold, then make a strategic retreat.
They took off their wet clothes and prepared to take a shower, only to discover that the cabin's design was far too unconventional.
After all, I was too excited when I first arrived to notice this.
The toilet and bathroom are separated into wet and dry areas. The bathroom has glass walls, with alternating frosted and transparent surfaces, creating an ambiguous atmosphere. It's not completely transparent, and you can't see any clear details, but it gives a hazy, nude feeling. To be precise, you can see everything you do while showering, and if water splashes on the glass, you can see it even more clearly.
It's clearly designed for couples; it's so explicit.
That makes sense, since they're not a couple and wouldn't be staying in the same room.
Why are there two beds in a standard room?
After you've finished using one bed, can you go to another bed to rest?
It's speechless.
Sang Li stared for a few seconds: "No shower curtain, what do we do?"
Bai Heng searched inside and out: "It doesn't seem to be there."
Sang Li hesitated for a moment: "What do you suggest we do?"
Bai Heng's ears turned slightly red: "Then I'll go outside and wait for you. I won't look at you."
"Don't go out." Sang Li stopped him, her tone serious. "I'm worried. That abnormal entity from earlier might still be there. Just sit in the hot spring pool, by the side, with your back to me. Forget it, we're family, let's just leave it at that. I can't just cover my chest and call you a pervert, can I?"
Safety is still the most important thing.
The issue of wardrobe malfunctions.
Isn't it said that in a doctor's eyes, everyone is just a piece of meat?
Bai Heng thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I won't look."
He turned around, walked to the terrace, and sat in the hot spring pool that was half-buried outside the house.
Inside the bathroom, steam rose, obscuring his silhouette.
Sang Li stood on the other side, shrouded in mist, and couldn't help but steal a glance as she took off her coat.
Bai Heng sat quietly.
Okay.
Trust him.
As she thought about it, she turned on the shower.
As the hot water cascaded down, she breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had finally recovered from the series of strange and chaotic events that had transpired that day.
After taking a shower, Sang Li sat on the edge of the bed wrapped in a bath towel. Her hair was still wet, with a few strands clinging to her neck. Water droplets trickled down from her collarbone and dripped into the skin under the towel.
She wiped her face with the back of her hand and then casually grabbed a towel to press down her hair.
Bai Heng handed her a hairdryer: "I'm going."
"Um."
The sound of water soon rose, splashing and echoing from the other side of the glass, as if the whole room was enveloped in warm mist.
Sang Li bit the corner of the towel, her eyebrows twitching slightly, looking somewhat restless.
Bai Heng has a great figure.
He has pectoral muscles and long legs.
Ah, it's the kind of physique that makes a refined scoundrel.
Because she saw it today.
It looks pretty good.
The thought of Bai Heng showering behind her made Sang Li admit that it was indeed quite agonizing.
My skin was still warm after I took a shower.
"...Tsk."
She hugged the pillow and buried her face in it, as if trying to suppress all the images that had just appeared.
That's insane.
Fortunately, Bai Heng washed it very quickly.
When he came out of the bathroom, he was wearing a clean T-shirt and light-colored sweatpants, and his hair was still dripping wet.
After drying her hair, Sang Li packed her luggage.
Bai Heng called the front desk to inquire about checking out early.
Sang Li perked up one ear to listen.
Bai Heng's voice sounded as if the reply from the other end of the line was causing him some headache.
Are you saying you won't pay the refund fee?
Or something else?
Bai Heng hung up the phone, looking somewhat helpless: "The mountain road was washed away by the heavy rain and is now closed. The earliest we can clear it is tomorrow."
"Huh?" Sang Li blinked. "So... we can't leave?"
Are they trapped here?
Bai Heng nodded: "That's how it will be for now."
Sang Li sighed, but didn't show much disappointment: "Well, that's how it is then. What else can we do? Go into a state of high alert? The two of us should be able to handle an anomaly, right?"
"Well, don't worry, I'm much better now. It's getting late, so let's rest. Being anxious won't help." Bai Heng took out a menu from under the TV cabinet. "You can soak in the hot springs and see what you want to eat, and have it delivered to your room."
This is the only option left out.
The roads are slippery when it rains, making driving difficult.
This place is actually relatively safer.
Moreover, given Sang Li's unusual abilities, running away wouldn't solve the problem.
Moreover, that anomalous entity was targeting itself, not Sang Li.
Why?
It might be jealousy.
Sang Li took the menu, which featured a wide variety of dishes.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a vacation destination.
As she flipped through the menu, she muttered to herself, "Forest mushroom soup, foie gras tartare. Wow, this restaurant is quite sophisticated; it's French cuisine?"
Bai Heng sat on the sofa opposite, leaning back, and replied casually, "Yeah, I heard that this French restaurant used to have a Michelin star, and the owner used to work in Paris."
Sang Li picked out a few dishes, but finally nodded at the dish with the particularly difficult-to-pronounce name on the recommendation page: "This is it, pan-fried cod with truffle cream mashed potatoes, it sounds delicious. What do you want? How about we have them make two more bowls of ginger soup? Oh right, I also want a cup of hot milk, piping hot."
"good."
A moment later, the doorbell rang.
Sang Li went to open the door, and the waiter deftly placed the dishes on a wooden tray, explaining in detail how each dish was prepared and how it tasted.
"Thank you." She smiled and nodded, closed the door, and waved to Bai Heng. "Dinner's ready. You don't need to cook today; someone will take care of you."
"You eat first, I'll get a medical check-up."
"OK."
Sang Li looked at Bai Heng's back as he walked away from her and said, "If you need any help, just call me."
"good."
Bai Heng observed the numbers on the display screen; so far, there was nothing unusual.
But things get unpredictable at night.
He felt as if something was surging through his body.
The rain was getting heavier, pattering against the glass roof of the forest cabin.
After eating half of it, Sang Li became very interested and moved the French food to a small round table on the terrace.
Outside the terrace is a forest shrouded in misty rain, and overhead is a wooden awning. Candles are lit by Bai Heng, and the dim yellow light flickers gently among the silver cutlery, creating a unique ambiance.
The two enjoyed their meal.
Although Sang Li is not someone who is prone to internal strife or worrying about the future, she still can't help but care about Bai Heng in the present.
“Although the risk factor is a bit high, it should be quite romantic,” Sang Li said, forking a foie gras tartare and looking at Bai Heng. “But how are you feeling right now?”
After all, Bai Heng had been bitten by him.
She also knows that one of the team members she bit is still under surveillance.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been Lu Jin's turn to catch her later.
Bai Heng chuckled lightly: "It's alright for now. The data changes after being bitten are not obvious, so it's fine. However, it proves that your abilities are much stronger than the abnormal entities that affected me. No wonder you're an S-level being."
Sang Li: "I can't tell you're praising me, but this unusual ability isn't all that great, is it?"
Bai Heng: "Isn't it good to be loved?"
Sang Li pondered: "At first glance, it seems like a great ability, that anyone can fall in love with me. But for me, I don't know if you genuinely like me as a person or if you're just influenced by my unusual ability. So how do I determine sincerity? Although I know you won't betray me and will love me forever, it's not love in the traditional sense; it's more about possession and attraction. Of course, I want unique love, even if I didn't have unusual abilities, I would still love my love."
Bai Heng looked at her calmly: "No one would not genuinely like you after getting to know you. If someone did, that would be incredibly cold-blooded."
Sang Li: "And what about you?"
Bai Heng: "Me too."
Sang Li: "Hey, you're starting to sweet-talk me now that I've bitten you. Are you going to turn into a zombie soon?"
Bai Heng: "What are you afraid of? If you dare to bite me again, maybe I'll become your slave."
Sang Li laughed loudly: "Then I'm not destined to be king!"
Bai Heng suggested, "Let's eat quickly, or how about we go for a soak in the hot springs later? Wear your swimsuit while you soak, and have some fruit. Anyway, it's been raining like this, so soaking for a bit more won't be a waste of your trip."
"That's fine too."
"I'll feed you from the shore," Bai Heng said casually. "It'll also feel like a vacation. Next time we can go to the beach."
Sang Li bit the handle of the fork: "It sounds like they're raising some kind of wild animal."
"So, are you a wild animal that's willing to be fed?"
"When the cat's away, the mice will play," Sang Li said with a laugh, pushing back her chair and getting up. "I'm going to change into my swimsuit. You cut the fruit."
Hot springs release water.
Steam rises from the water.
Before long, Sang Li came out wrapped in a bath towel, looking like a completely different person. Her hair was loosely tied up, with stray hairs falling over her shoulders, and her strawberry-patterned swimsuit looked rather playful and cute under the lights.
Slices of cantaloupe, red dragon fruit, and oranges were already laid out beside the hot spring pool.
Sang Li soaked in the water.
Bai Heng squatted on the bank, holding a plate in one hand and forking a piece with the other, handing it to her.
"Open your mouth."
Sang Li floated leisurely in the pool, leaning against the edge, one hand supporting her head, her eyes languid.
"Is this like feeding monkeys at a zoo? Say something nice first."
You look beautiful today.
"That doesn't count."
"Eat quickly."
Sang Li said leisurely, "What if an anomaly appears at this time?"
Bai Heng: "I'm prepared, don't worry."
He was actually carrying microweapons and lethal injections.
That's enough.
All the bureau's personnel undergo regular military training, and he was no exception.
I was just careless.
However, the experience wasn't actually that bad, if you think about it from a personal perspective.
Sang Li took the sliced orange and began to eat it with gusto.
Bai Heng was peeling fruit for Sang Li when he looked at her leaning against the edge of the pool. Suddenly, he felt something deep inside him being gently stirred.
Like a thin thread, it was caught off guard by her fingertips, pulling his nerves forward little by little.
In the mist, she was immersed in the hot spring, her floating hair and shoulder line gently overlapping the water's surface.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he felt his heart slowly warming up, little by little, like the red flame hidden in charcoal fire, slight yet continuously burning.
It seems that Sang Li's influence on him has indeed deepened.
It was a very strange feeling.
It wasn't just a normal flutter of the heart; it was a dangerous urge to get closer.
The burning heat she felt the moment she bit his neck still lingers to this day.
It seeps into the blood and envelops the soul.
That bite mark was not just a brand under the skin.
Like a gently entwining iron chain, forever etched into my bones and blood.
He's already been led around.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Sang Li tilted her head slightly, her eyes glistening with tears, like moist glass.
Bai Heng was taken aback, then tried to hide his guilt: "Should I buy some milk? Maybe we can take a milk bath?"
"No, it'll be up in a minute!"
