General's Mansion.
In Jin Suting's boudoir, behind the screen, steam was rising from the wooden barrel. She lay comfortably in the barrel, and rose petals covered the entire surface of the water.
After lying down for a whole day, my bones are soft.
Jin Suting closed her eyes and felt the comfort brought by the hot water touching her skin.
"Squeak——" the door was pushed open.
"Who?" Jin Suting opened her eyes. "Is it Xiao Huang?"
"It's me." A gentle voice came.
"Alan? Why are you here? I'm taking a shower!" Jin Suting panicked. There was only a screen between the two of them, so they were friends, but she was still taking a shower after all, and there was a difference between men and women...
"Don't shout! Are you trying to get everyone from the General's Mansion to come over?" Alan said jokingly, "I won't be watching you. Just wash yourself. I'll be waiting here."
How can I wash properly if you're standing here? Jin Suting was depressed.
She came out of the water directly, put on her underwear, combed her hair and came out from behind the screen.
Hearing the sound of water, Ah Lan appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, his ears were burning hot enough to fry an egg in. That evening, Shi Qingmiao told him that Jin Suting was seriously injured, and he was worried sick, considering she was fine at Zuixianlou.
But due to his status, he could only come quietly at night. He was in a hurry on the way, and when he entered the house, he didn't expect her to be taking a shower.
"Why are you here?" Jin Suting's cheeks were pink from the heat, her eyes were filled with moisture, her lips were opening and closing, and she had the urge to kiss him.
Ah Lan coughed uncomfortably. "I heard you were injured. You were fine at Zuixianlou, so how did you get hurt?"
Jin Suting scratched her head. Who was so loudmouthed? How did Shi Qingmiao and Alan all know about it? But Alan was one of the people involved. Even if she was just a bystander that day, she could still explain it by saying, "You didn't see it clearly!" But Alan had said herself that she was not at all guilty...
"Um...it's just...I..." Jin Suting hesitated for a long time but couldn't think of a reason, so she simply ignored the reasoning, "I'm just injured. Ah~ I'm so weak~" She held her forehead and walked to the chairs of the eight-immortals table.
Alan didn't give her the chance. He grabbed her left hand and started taking her pulse.
"What are you doing?! I tell you, men and women shouldn't touch each other!" Jin Suting pulled her hand back in shock. This guy was too cunning! He actually took my pulse directly.
"Your pulse is steady and beating strongly. You don't look weak at all. On the contrary, you look very healthy." Alan said seriously.
"I...I haven't recovered well!" Jin Suting was still trying to be stubborn.
"Don't lie to me, I'm always very accurate at taking pulses." Alan heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing happened. He walked to the stool of the eight-immortals table, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Hey, hey, hey, that's my cup!" Jin Suting shouted.
"Oh, is your name written?" Alan looked righteous.
"You!...You are unreasonable!" Jin Suting was furious.
"I'm only being unreasonable with you~" Ah Lan smiled brightly, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Okay, I admit it." Jin Suting had no choice but to confess after seeing her trick exposed. She sat down opposite Alan and said, "I was actually pretending."
"I know." Alan took a sip of tea.
"You already know this, and you're still asking?!" Jin Suting glared at him dissatisfiedly.
"I'm asking why you're pretending to be injured?" Alan looked straight into Jin Suting's eyes.
