Chapter 38 Ointment "What is Shushu applying?"
Even through several layers of fabric, the scorching heat was hard to ignore.
Yan Shu really didn't know what Xiao Yu was so excited about.
How could he be talking just now and suddenly become like this?
She wanted to move away a little, but he held her waist tightly, so she couldn't move at all.
Yan Shu didn't know whether she should be happy or helpless at this moment.
She was happy about the attraction of her body to Xiao Yu, but at the same time she felt helpless about her current situation where she could only rely on her beauty to survive.
What's more, it was still broad daylight and she hadn't even had lunch yet, but she didn't want to do that with him again.
And after such a fierce commotion last night, hasn’t Xiao Yu had enough?
Yan Shu didn't want to do it again now. After all, if he started eating, it would be endless. He wouldn't stop until an hour had passed.
So Yan Shu tried her best to ignore the strange feeling of retreating, just raised her hand to push away the hand that was wrapped around her waist, and opened her mouth to beg for help.
"Your Majesty, I haven't had lunch yet."
Even if they really had to do that today, Yan Shu didn't want to do it on an empty stomach at this moment.
If that's the case, my life is really miserable.
When Xiao Yu heard this, he lowered his eyes slightly, restrained his breathing a little, and said "OK" in a hoarse voice.
Then he instructed Zhou Tong outside the hall to serve the meal.
In fact, Yan Shu didn't expect Xiao Yu to stop pitying her. After all, she was ready to let him satisfy her desires at any time. But she never thought that Xiao Yu would listen to her words about not having a meal yet and actually let her go, and even asked someone to serve her lunch.
This action inevitably surprised Yan Shu.
Before long, the dishes were served one by one.
Looking at the colorful and delicious dishes on the table, Yan Shu's watery almond eyes finally showed a genuine smile.
The matter was exposed a few days ago, and she was imprisoned in Baohua Palace by Xiao Yu. Not only had she been frightened for several days, but she had also consumed so much physical energy last night, and she had not eaten breakfast or lunch today, so her stomach was already empty at this time.
Seeing that all the dishes in front of her were her favorites, Yan Shu naturally couldn't wait.
However, even though she was hungry, the girl still ate politely, taking small bites, but her eating speed was obviously a little faster than usual.
He was so absorbed in eating that he even ignored the deep and burning gaze of Xiao Yu opposite him.
Only after she was eight-tenths full did Yan Shu finally have the time to pay attention to Xiao Yu beside her.
He didn't eat, but just kept picking up the roast beef from the roast plate for her.
He didn't stop until the meat in the small bowl in front of Yan Shu was piled high and she put down her chopsticks and stopped eating.
"Your Majesty, don't you want to eat?" Yan Shu couldn't help but eat another piece of watermelon to quench her thirst. Seeing that Xiao Yu was just picking up food for her and not moving his chopsticks, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
In fact, Xiao Yu did not have much appetite.
For him, food is more about maintaining basic survival.
Most of the time, he found dining alone boring and uninteresting. But whenever he dined with Yan Shu, he always seemed to be infected by the little girl's cheerful mood.
She loves to eat and eats a lot.
It seems that there is nothing more joyful in the world than eating.
It was like this six years ago, and it is still like this six years later.
At this time, Xiao Yu would feel that the usual boring dishes seemed to be much more delicious.
Seeing that Xiao Yu looked down and didn't answer, Yan Shu picked up a piece of roasted meat and prepared to put it into his bowl as a courtesy. However, when she saw that there was no empty bowl or plate in front of him, the hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, then turned around and picked up the piece of meat directly to his mouth.
"Your Majesty, you will know once you try it. This roasted beef is really good."
Yan Shu's almond-shaped eyes were half curved, and her rosy little face was peaceful and gentle, as if they were really an ordinary loving couple, and all the previous love-hate entanglements had disappeared.
My heart trembled slightly.
Xiao Yu's eyes were dark, and his dark eyes were stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head and gently bit the roasted meat that the girl had brought to his lips.
It’s fresh, slightly charred, and has a spicy flavor from the spices.
But it was a thousand times more delicious than any piece of roasted meat he had ever eaten before.
Seeing Xiao Yu eat the piece of meat, Yan Shu was satisfied.
She just couldn't stand seeing others not eating. The food was so delicious, but he didn't even try it. She couldn't eat so much by herself. When the dishes were removed later, they would all be thrown away by the palace servants. Wouldn't that be such a waste?
Of course, Yan Shu's move was also intended to please others. Now that Xiao Yu was no longer holding her captive and had even agreed to release Qing Tao, she was somewhat surprised that he could suppress Yu Wang and serve her food just because of her coquettish words.
After all, she thought that Xiao Yu kept her just to vent his desires, so as long as he wanted, she would go to him eagerly and could not refuse at all.
But now Xiao Yu's attitude towards her was almost the same as before when he had such a gentle face.
Apart from the tossing and turning on the couch, there was actually no physical abuse or torture.
If it was just because he was attracted by her beauty, there would be no need to go to such lengths.
Is it true, as Qingtao said, that Xiao Yu has some feelings for her?
As soon as this thought came to mind, it was quickly suppressed by Yan Shu.
Why is she so naive again? How could Xiao Yu have any feelings for her?
If someone pushed her into a snake den and drugged her, she would hate him to death, so how could she possibly fall in love with him?
She's not that cheap.
So no matter how calm and gentle Xiao Yu is now, it may all be an illusion.
She couldn't take it seriously, because if she did, she would lose completely.
But the peace she has now is hard-earned, and she must ask for more love and care from Xiao Yu while he still loves her.
After eating and drinking, it was already past noon, and Yan Shu felt sleepy as usual.
Summer afternoons are the best time to sleep, and she usually takes a nap at this time.
But she was having dinner at Xiao Yu's place today, so she naturally didn't want to go and rest right after eating.
So when the palace maids cleared the dishes, Yan Shu said that she wanted to go back to Baohua Palace to take a nap.
When Xiao Yu heard this, he just lowered his eyes and looked at her. He neither agreed nor refused, but spoke to her softly.
"Changming Palace is cool, why doesn't Shushu take a rest here?"
Yan Shu was stunned when she heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed across her dark eyes.
Then my heart started beating fast.
Did Xiao Yu mean to keep her in Changming Palace for a nap?
Yan Shu remembered the burning sensation Xiao Yu had felt before the meal, and her cheeks suddenly felt hot.
He said he wanted to let her take a nap, but I'm afraid his purpose was more than that.
Since she recognized her current situation, Yan Shu naturally would not refuse Xiao Yu's request.
So after agreeing, the girl went to the bathroom to take a shower and rinse her mouth.
Yan Shu was very clean, so she would wash herself thoroughly even during her lunch break. After the girl left the bathroom, Xiao Yu followed her to take a shower.
Fortunately, after deciding to take a nap in Changming Palace, she asked Qingtao to go back to Baohua Palace to get her pajamas, spare clothes, and the perfume she usually applied after bathing.
When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Xiao Yu still taking a shower, so she sat alone on the huge bunk bed and quietly applied the gardenia ointment to herself.
This ointment has the effect of whitening and moisturizing the skin. It is a secret recipe of the Yan Palace. After bathing on weekdays, Yan Shu would apply it all over her body. Although she was born with a white complexion, it was also very good for moisturizing her skin.
Originally, Qingtao was the one who helped with the daily application, but today she was resting in Changming Palace, and Xiao Yu didn't like people serving her closely, so it was not convenient to ask Qingtao to apply it for her at this time.
So Yan Shu could only sit on the couch by herself, pull up her nightgown a little, revealing her snow-white shoulders, and then apply the ointment to herself little by little.
It is easy to wipe the arms, shoulders, and chest where you can see them, but when it comes to the back, the girl has a hard time.
After trying to wipe her back twice and finding that she couldn't wipe it completely, Yan Shu gave up.
Then he began to change positions and anoint his legs with ointment.
As the girl lifted up her thin skirt and concentrated on wiping her right leg, she ignored the sound of water gradually stopping in the bathroom.
When Xiao Yu came out, he saw the girl on the couch lifting her skirt to expose her two slender legs, and lowering her head to carefully wipe something.
She was at ease, humming a gentle tune comfortably and easily, as if the current environment made her feel particularly at ease.
The young king's eyes darkened slightly.
At this time, the inner hall was filled with the rich and sweet fragrance of gardenia, which made the usually empty and cold Changming Palace feel much warmer and sweeter.
Yan Shu was carefully applying ointment to her legs until it got dark in front of her eyes and she didn't notice someone coming over.
The girl looked up and met Xiao Yu's dark eyes. Her cheeks flushed and she immediately let go of her skirt.
"When did the king come out?" Yan Shu looked a little embarrassed, and she didn't know how much Xiao Yu had seen.
The king, who had just come out of the bathroom, seemed to still have a little moisture on his body. At this moment, he just lowered his eyes, and his gaze swept over the girl's blushing face and messy dress one by one, and finally landed on the milky white cream with the lid opened on the couch.
"What is Shushu applying?"
As he spoke, he reached out and casually picked up the jar of ointment. In an instant, the rich fragrance of gardenia floated faintly at the tip of his nose.
Seeing this, Yan Shu looked a little embarrassed, but she still explained softly: "This is my perfume, just something girls like to use."
"Where did you apply the ointment?" Xiao Yu raised his eyelids slightly, and his narrow and dark eyes seemed to have a slight arc, with a faint smile.
Yan Shu blushed, thinking that Xiao Yu must have seen her wiping her legs just now. It seemed that he was asking her this question deliberately.
But she had no choice but to answer honestly even though Xiao Yu was deliberately trying to embarrass her.
"It is used to apply on the body after bathing."
The girl's voice was soft, and her fair little face seemed to be tinged with shyness.
Body?
Xiao Yu's gaze fell on Yan Shu's fair and smooth face, and then moved down to her snow-white and slender neck, and the graceful figure under her thin dress.
A fire seemed to be burning in the dark depths of the young king's eyes.
When he was not around just now, would his Shushu also wipe every part of her body as seriously and carefully as she did when she wiped her legs?
The heat that had been suppressed earlier began to surge again.
Xiao Yu lowered his eyelashes to cover the darkness under his eyes, then took the bottle of ointment and sat casually beside the girl.
A cool breeze of snow and pine trees blew over, making Yan Shu feel quite uncomfortable.
And then Xiao Yu's faint and lingering tone rang in her ears.
"In that case, why don't I apply it for Shushu?"
In an instant, Yan Shu shuwled.
