However, his hands were not well-behaved.
The next second, Zhou Yichen woke up because he found a bottle on Ahri's waist.
He had seen this bottle a few times at Murong Mingyue's place; it wasn't a good thing.
Zhou Yichen sat up and asked irritably, "What does she want you to do now?"
Ahri stood up to pour tea and said, "Go to sleep."
Zhou Yichen got off the stone bed, put the bottle on the table, and asked, "Can you still eat?"
Ahri held the water bottle up to Zhou Yichen, saying, "Drink some water."
Zhou Yichen angrily took the water from Ah Li's hand; that Murong Mingyue was truly disgusting.
Ah Li asked again, "Aren't you angry?"
Isn't he angry with her, yet he's involved in ambiguous relationships with other men?
Perhaps it's because I don't love them.
Zhou Yichen finished his tea, then reached out and hugged Ali, saying irritably, "I'm angry at myself. I was blind back then, thinking she was someone I could entrust my life to. I'm also indignant for you. Why did you have to sleep with the man she made you sleep with!"
"Murong Mingli, haven't you ever thought about resisting?"
Zhou Yichen cupped Ah Li's face in his hands. He had intended to speak to her properly, but his gaze was uncontrollably drawn to her lips. He even dreamt of the exquisite pleasure she offered.
Just as Zhou Yichen's lips were about to touch hers, Ah Li blocked them away. Ah Li held a pair of chopsticks in her hand and said, "Eat first, or you'll faint from hunger later."
"No way! I'm full of energy!"
Zhou Yichen raised his arm and patted the flesh on it, trying to prove that he was strong. But under Ali's gaze, he took the chopsticks from Ali's hand and said somewhat awkwardly, "This is my first time. It will get better slowly."
Ah Li's eyes lit up with a smile, and she said in a serious tone, "There's a hot spring behind the cave, we can try it out then."
Zhou Yichen was still eating lotus root slices when he heard this. He immediately looked up, his eyes shining, and said, "Yes, I'll try it then!"
"good."
Ahri took the bottle back from the table. She was leaving, and she said, "Just leave it there after you finish eating, I'll come back to collect it later."
As Zhou Yichen ate his meal, he glanced at his bundle and a large box, which Ah Li had just brought in.
Inside were all the belongings he brought with him when he married into the family.
After finishing his meal, Zhou Yichen tidied up briefly and went to the back.
The hot spring behind the grotto is very large, with milky white water and white mist floating on it.
Zhou Yichen slowly unbuttoned his clothes and went inside.
As he soaked in the water, his face gradually turned red.
He was still thinking: he must have been bewitched by Murong Mingli, otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of her just from taking a bath.
You Xu stood outside the cave, the handle of the feather fan in his hand crushed.
What a clever trick! She's learned to hide men, and what she's hiding is Murong Mingyue's ex-husband.
You Xu followed behind Ah Li. He narrowed his eyes. He had just heard her say that Murong Mingyue wanted her to sleep with someone.
Then it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to go and join in the fun.
So, when Murong Mingyue coughed lightly as she came out of a secret room, preparing to call Ah Li over, You Xu silently entered the secret room.
Inside the secret room, there was only a man bound by a red rope. The man was handsome but also very weak. He glanced at You Xu and then looked away expressionlessly.
His eyes were aloof, much like that shadow.
You Xu, holding a feather fan, said, "Brother, I have something to discuss with you. Please do me the favor."
The man glanced at You Xu and said, "What can I do? I'm just a cripple now."
"Let's play a game."
You Xu raised his hand and took off his red clothes. Under the man's gaze, which showed no sign of anything amiss, he said, "Come on, you hide first."
This man is Rong Yu, the regent of Jingran Kingdom, who has been imprisoned here by Murong Mingyue.
You Xu untied the ropes binding Rong Yu, and he was helped to the side by You Xu, who said, "I'm sorry."
A red robe was draped over Rong Yu's head.
Not long after, Ahri arrived.
She put on Murong Mingyue's clothes and walked expressionlessly toward the person in the corner.
In this room, there is a painting on the wall depicting several beauties enjoying the spring. One of the beauties has moving eyes, which means that Murong Mingyue is watching this side from the dark room behind the painting.
You Xu heard footsteps and looked over with disheveled hair. He frowned, thinking it was Murong Mingyue, but the next second, he realized it wasn't. The aura on this person was very similar to that of the shadow.
So, is this a shadow?
What is she wearing on her face now?
A human skin maskâwas she disguised?
You Xu spoke weakly, his voice sounding exactly like Rong Yu's, "What are you planning to do now?"
Rong Yu, hiding behind the red clothes, was slightly taken aback. If he hadn't been there, he would have thought it was really him.
Ah Li opened the porcelain bottle in her hand, grabbed You Xu's chin, and poured the contents into his mouth.
You Xu kept his mouth tightly shut, looking as if he was unwilling to drink it.
The eyes in that painting of a beautiful woman are still there.
The next second, Ahri grabbed You Xu's chin, turned around and poured the liquid in the porcelain bottle into her own mouth, then lowered her head and fed the water in her mouth into You Xu's mouth.
You Xu was tied up and couldn't break free, but his eyes were full of smiles. Little Shadow, this time you kissed me first.
You Xu let out a loud groan and suddenly hugged the person tightly, "What did you feed me? I feel so hot and uncomfortable."
Ah Li was stunned. She also realized that the person was You Xu. She leaned close to his ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "That's enough, it's just water."
You Xu's lips curled slightly as he wrapped his legs around Ah Li's body, continuing to cry out in pain, "It hurts, I feel so bad..."
He even took off his white nightgown and pulled Ahri over with great enthusiasm.
The eyes in that painting of a beautiful woman revealed a hint of hatred before disappearing, leaving only two dark, gaping holes.
You Xu hadn't stopped yet; he really liked the scent on this person. His hand was still stroking Ah Li's face, and there was no sign of disguise.
"Little Shadow, how did you manage to be just like that scoundrel Murong Mingyue?"
You Xu's words made Ah Li stop her from knocking him unconscious. She said, "Because we look the same, my name is Murong Mingli."
At this moment, the red robe covering Rong Yu slipped down. Ah Li heard the noise and looked over. You Xu was still kissing her cheek, saying, "So this is what you really look like. You're beautiful, much more beautiful than that bastard Murong Mingyue."
Ah Li pressed down on You Xu's shoulder and said, "You didn't knock him out?"
You Xu also looked towards Rong Yu, and he exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh, he saw your face too, and he knows your name, Little Shadow. Should we kill him?"
You Xu tugged at Ali's clothes, not wanting outsiders to see Ali's current state. Then, he removed the untied rope from his wrist.
Rong Yu lowered his eyes. He was not afraid, as if life and death were not important to him at all.
