was different. Xi Chun liked bright colors and always wore various kinds of jeweled flowers in her hair. 。Of course, all those things were gifts from the original owner. The original owner had never...Shi Liyuan never expected this. When the Soul-Breaking Bell rang, he rushed over and saw Ye Wenyan taking a bath.

He still thought the girl had encountered something terribly urgent, only to find she had just slipped in the bathtub

As Ye Wen watched, his eyes widened in alarm as he saw the person sink into the water with a gurgling sound. He was helpless and had no choice but to reach out, risking getting half his sleeve wet, and pull the person out of the water.

Ye Wen was stunned, staring at Shi Liyuan with wide eyes for a long time before he spoke, “I didn't do it on purpose, I slipped and happened to be holding the flower in my hand, so I accidentally rang the bell. This is a misunderstanding, so please go back!”

"Go back"

"Yes, go back right away!"

Shi Liyuan felt like he had been played, and in anger, he let go. With a splash, he threw the person back into the water.

Ye Wen's voice was sharp with anger. He thrashed around, his head popping up to spit out a furious, "Are you crazy!"

Xiangdong, who was guarding the door, finally heard a commotion. She knocked on the door and asked, "Sister, what's wrong What happened"

Ye Wen replied casually, "My sister is fine!"

Shi Li Yuan waved his arm, casting a sound barrier. Then he asked her, "What do you mean by 'psycho' This deity has lived for over four hundred years and has never seen a woman like you."

“Then you see it now, don't you!” she exploded like a furious lioness, baring her teeth in displeasure. “What have I done Where have I offended you Yes, tonight it was my unyielding bell, but I apologized to you immediately! Do you really have to throw me into the water Fine, if my previous apology wasn't enough, then let me say it again. I'm sorry, I was wrong. You're so magnanimous, please don't hold a grudge against me. Alright, I've finished apologizing. Now get out of here, will you I'm taking a bath! It’s really inconvenient having a big guy like you in here!”

Shi Lifen stood there for a moment, pondering. Looking at the girl in the water looking distressed, he didn't seem so angry anymore. He even started talking to her: "You called me here, and now you want me to leave. Sister Ye Si, do you think this makes sense"

"Didn't that get through" she said, a bit despondently. "I already explained to you, I didn't mean it."

"Mm." He nodded. "It wasn't intentional, of course, but since I've come all this way, you could at least offer me a cup of tea. It's not nice to just shoo people away so abruptly."

She splashed water and sighed, knowing that this matter wouldn't likely end well today. Pointing to outside the screen, she said, "There's no tea, only water on the table. If you want to drink, pour it yourself." Finishing her sentence, she dipped her body into the water, "Go ahead and drink some water, don't stare at me, you scoundrel!"

Just as he was about to turn and get water, the man stopped, bent down and looked at her, "A thug Night Four Sister, between you and me, who's more of a thug Don't you really have a clue in your heart"

"What number do I have" she said, losing her composure again. "You're a man and I'm a woman, who between the two of us is more of a ruffian Why don't you go ask around, just between you and me, who would others think is more of a ruffian"

"You, they would definitely think it was you." Shī Líyuān answered with certainty. After answering, he glanced at the water again, then stood up straight, "Forget it, this deity will go pour water. You're really not that interesting to look at."

She lowered her head, the words of rebuttal reaching her lips only to be swallowed back down. At fifteen, Fourth Sister was far from the most radiant period of a woman's life. Her growth and development were not at their peak.

She was a little down, "I'll be fine when I grow up."

"Then I'll wait for you to grow up before you read it."

“Get out!” she shouted from behind the screen, “I was blind to see you that way outside the city! If I’d known you were like this, I should have cooperated with those men in black and had you eliminated!”

"What kind of person am I" He held the water and pulled a chair up to the edge of the bathtub, "Night Four Sister probably has some misunderstandings about this deity."

Ye Wen hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, no, there's really no misunderstanding. Don't think I ever thought you were a righteous gentleman. Really not. After all, I haven't heard of any righteous gentleman who would go to the wilderness and pounce on a girl."

"Well, I've never heard of any respectable young lady who would kiss a man endlessly in the middle of nowhere."

Ye Wen bit her teeth, "Since you think of me this way, then I might as well make this matter a reality. What do you say, Shi Liyuan Do you want to try again" She extended her arm from the water, "Come on, come on, don't be shy, we already kissed once anyway."

"Good!" he set down his teacup and leaned over, crossing his arms with hers, encircling her slender shoulders.

Ye Wen suddenly felt a little scared. She had planned everything herself, but when this man took the initiative, her heart skipped a beat.

I felt the fiery red of the maple leaves was a bit blinding, so instinctively I dove into the water, but he pulled me back up again.

"Changed your mind"

She gritted her teeth, “No. Shili Yuan, this time it was you who took the initiative, so bear all the consequences yourself!”

After finishing his words, the person suddenly leaned forward, their icy lips covering hers. They moved gently, circling and exploring with effort and seriousness.

He smelled the fragrance, so strong it made even the soundproof barrier tremble.

When they finally parted, she was slightly out of breath and her ears were burning. But it was just a feeling; in reality, she was still as cold as ice, lacking any temperature.

He habitually dove into the water again. He exerted force with his wrist, taking her in his arms. His tone was no longer harsh, “Is the water too cold Why are you so cold” As he spoke, his lips pursed slightly. He felt that the kiss just now came suddenly and strangely. Although this girl was soaked in hot water, steam rising from it, her lips were icy cold. It was like the snow field on the outskirts of Beijing where she relentlessly kissed him. Her lips were just as cold as the swirling snowflakes.

He thought it was due to the environment at the time, freezing, but now it seems like that wasn't the case.

She was cold, devoid of warmth, like a walking corpse.

"What's wrong" He moved his hand from her shoulder, kneading her arm, then cupped her cheek and stroked her back. Everywhere he touched was ice-cold, a chill that went deeper than water, and the rising heat had diminished considerably.

Ye Wen calmed down from the awkwardness, only to find Shi Liyuan was examining her up and down. He even reached under the water to touch her lower back.

She was completely furious—“You rascal! What are you doing Let go of me!”

The person in the bathtub was splashing around, sending water everywhere.

Shi Li Yuan was helpless and could only raise his hand. "I didn't mean to take advantage of you, I just felt that you were cold, and I..." What did he want to say Did he want to warm her up Did he want to see if she was cold everywhere It seemed like nothing felt right.

Then he could only withdraw his hand and sit back in the chair, "Ye Wenyan, tell me, what's wrong with your body"

She leaned on the edge of the bucket, showing only half her head, looking particularly guilty. "No, no, nothing happened."

"Again."

"Another time, and nothing happened again!" She panicked and tried to stand up, but Shi Liyuan quickly raised his sleeve to cover her eyes. Ye Wenyan shrank back, "It's really nothing happened, and even if something did, it wouldn't need you to worry about it. What am I to you"

"Out in the snow, just now, again, do you think I am who you think I am" He dropped his sleeves and stared at her, not moving an inch. This look sent a shiver down Ye Wenyan's spine. "Are you shy" He tried to find a reason for her, but shyness should bring blushing, yet this girl's face was so pale it scared him.

The dead duck floating in the water had its beak stubbornly hard, saying, "What's there to be ashamed of It's just flesh touching flesh."

"Just skin to skin"

"Ah! What else Shi Li Yuan, don't think just because I kissed you means I like you. Listen to me clearly, kissing is kissing, liking is liking. You're definitely not someone special to me, I am myself, and no one can take advantage of me!"

He took a deep breath, silently recited three times to calm himself, and with a wave of his sleeve, the wet sleeve immediately dried.

The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward. The water in the bucket had cooled down under her body heat.

Ye Wen coughed lightly and began to change the subject: "Since you're here, I have a question for you. Shi Liyuan, why did you ask me to treat the Seventh Prince Can't you heal him yourself"

His face relaxed a little, “Sure!”

"Then why don't you treat him You had to make me travel so far."

He blinked. "Why would I fix him"

"Because that's your royal business!"

"They are of the Royal Family, they have nothing to do with me."

“Isn't that you as well! You decide who becomes emperor, and they all obey you, don't they!” She put both her arms around the edge of the bucket, leaning over with a cheeky grin, “In the end, you and the royal family are no different.”

Shi Liyuan looked at her for a while and said, "Then I can't treat him even more."

"Why"

"You're in trouble!" he told her earnestly, "Because you’ve been demoted."

Ye Wenyan was furious, “Big brother, are you lowering yourself Then I won’t lower myself either! I’m a capable spirit user too!”

He shook his head, "As a palace maid, being able to cure the future emperor is certainly not out of line. Not only is it not out of line, but it's also very impressive. Besides, given your family's current situation, don't you think you've earned an imperial favor Wouldn't that make life at home a bit easier"

"I don't think so." Ye Wen said frankly, "Our family are all warriors. Even if a knife is held to our necks, we wouldn't flinch. I just finished treating the emperor, and they were going to find trouble with me either way."

"Oh How did they trouble you"

“Just…” She waved her hand impatiently, “That’s all there is to it. It’s a hassle without them. Well, your emperor is quite interesting, I like him a lot, so let me treat his wounds and I won’t hold this against you.”

His focus shifted again, "Interesting emperor You like him How do you like him"

Ye Wen thought for a moment, "It's just liking, liking still how to like How, I like him, do you have an opinion"

He shook his head, “No opinion.” Then he got up, “Although your face is a bit pale and you feel a little cold, you look spirited and should be fine. Since there’s nothing wrong, this deity will take his leave now.”

When they got to the latter part of their journey, Ye Wen had already seen flashes of red light. She suddenly remembered something and panicked: “Wait a minute! Why are you just leaving like that Wait a moment, wait a moment!”

Perhaps too anxious, shouting and shouting she stood up from the water, arms reaching straight forward to grab someone.

As a result, he didn't probe well this time, and the whole person~headfirst fell out…d any grave offenses. A divorce is not permissible, and if this really escalates, the Xiao family wouldn’t agree to it.” 。I don't want to cause discord in your family because of me. It's fine for me t...
