Chapter 18: Turning from evil to good



Hearing Hua Qingcheng's words, Jiang Yunting's ears turned slightly red.

"No... no need. I'll just rinse you off after you're done. Here's a bath towel, remember to put it on when you get up."

Jiang Yunting's throat rolled slightly, and his voice unconsciously became a little low. He turned around and took out a brand new bath towel from the cabinet above the sink, hung it on the bathroom door handle, and hurried out of the bathroom door.

Even when he returned to the sofa in the living room and sat down, his ears were still red and his heart was beating so hard that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his throat.

In the bathroom, Hua Qingcheng watched Jiang Yunting fleeing in embarrassment, and a sly smile curled up at the corner of her mouth. She chuckled and shook her head, thinking that although this man looked cold and aloof on the outside, he was actually so easily shy...

After Jiang Yunting left, Hua Qingcheng took off her clothes and set them aside. Then, she leisurely soaked in the bathtub, letting the warm water submerge her body. The water was just the right temperature, gently caressing her skin, bringing a feeling of comfort and relaxation.

Hua Qingcheng closed her eyes, feeling the embrace of the water, releasing all her fatigue and stress. She sighed softly, and her mood gradually calmed down as the water flowed.

Time passed by minute by minute, and before he knew it, fifteen minutes had already passed. Jiang Yunting, who had changed into his home clothes, sat on the sofa in the living room, feeling a little puzzled. Why had Hua Qingcheng not come out after so long? Did something happen?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yunting stood up, walked to the bathroom door and knocked gently a few times.

"Knock knock knock~"

His knock wasn't loud, but it was enough to attract the attention of the person inside. However, there was no response from the bathroom.

Jiang Yunting frowned, knocked on the door again, and called out, "Hua Qingcheng?"

Jiang Yunting felt uneasy. He ignored everything else and reached out to turn the doorknob and pushed open the bathroom door. The scene before him stunned him.

Hua Qingcheng lay quietly in the bathtub, her eyes closed, a faint smile on her face, as if she were asleep. Her skin had turned red from being soaked in the water for so long, and her long black hair was wet and draped over her shoulders.

Jiang Yunting quickly stepped forward, tentatively stretched out his hand, and gently probed Hua Qingcheng's nose. Feeling her even breathing, Jiang Yunting breathed a sigh of relief.

He gently shook Hua Qingcheng's shoulders and called her name: "Hua Qingcheng, wake up..."

Hua Qingcheng slowly opened her eyes and saw Jiang Yunting's anxious expression. She couldn't help but smile lazily: "Brother Jiang, I was just too tired and accidentally fell asleep..."

The day before yesterday and yesterday, Hua Qingcheng stayed up all night with Xuantian performing rituals, and she didn't get enough rest afterward. So much so that when she was taking a bath just now, she felt so relaxed that she accidentally fell asleep.

Seeing Hua Qingcheng like this, Jiang Yunting could only smile helplessly. He gently reached out his hand, helped Hua Qingcheng out of the bathtub, and carefully wrapped her tightly with a bath towel.

Then, he picked up Hua Qingcheng, walked out of the bathroom, came into the room, and gently placed the woman on the bed.

Hua Qingcheng looked at Jiang Yunting's concerned eyes and felt a warm feeling in her heart. "Thank you, Brother Jiang." She held Jiang Yunting's hand, unwilling to let go.

Jiang Yunting sat on the edge of the bed, holding Hua Qingcheng's hand, "Don't do this again in the future, understand?"

Hua Qingcheng knew that she had frightened the other person by sleeping in the bath, so she nodded obediently, "I know."

"You take a rest first, I'll call you to have lunch later. Here are some clothes that suit you, remember to change into them."

As Jiang Yunting spoke, he took out a set of short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts home clothes from the wardrobe beside the bed and put them on the bed. He sighed softly, got up and left the room, closing the door.

Hua Qingcheng was lying on the bed in the RV bedroom. She took the clothes given by Jiang Yunting and changed into them quickly.

However, what surprised Hua Qingcheng was that this new set of home clothes and the sports vest and underwear tucked inside fit her perfectly, as if they were bought specifically according to her current body size.

On the other side, after arriving in the kitchen, Jiang Yunting started to get busy again.

He skillfully cut and cooked the vegetables, and soon, delicious dishes were placed on the table. Looking at the sumptuous lunch on the table, Jiang Yunting smiled with satisfaction.

He walked to the bedroom door, gently pushed it open, and saw Hua Qingcheng still resting with her eyes closed. He walked closer to the bed and called softly, "Little lazy boy, get up and eat!"

Hua Qingcheng stretched lazily, yawned, and slowly sat up from the bed. She rubbed her eyes sleepily and followed Jiang Yunting to the dining table and sat down.

When she saw the table full of delicious food, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and a smile of surprise appeared on her face.

"Wow, Brother Jiang, did you make all these by yourself?" Hua Qingcheng asked excitedly, with curiosity glittering in her eyes.

Jiang Yunting smiled and nodded, responding gently: "Of course, I know you like to eat, so I specially prepared these for you."

Hua Qingcheng laughed happily, two dimples appearing on her lips. "Brother Jiang, you are really amazing! Your cooking skills are comparable to the chef at Feng Manlou in town!"

The most delicious food Hua Qingcheng had ever eaten was the honey-glazed chicken legs and braised pig's trotters made by the chef Fengmanlou of Yang Xiaopang's family in Baishui Town.
