Xia Muqing leaped off from the roof and entered the room through the window.

She thought no one was there, but as soon as she entered, she heard a splash.

There was a screen separating the two of them, and the sound of water splashing came from behind it.

Was Ye Qingxuan bathing?

Xia Muqing felt a little awkward. She stood rooted to the spot, wondering if she should retreat. Ye Qingxuan heard someone entering and said, “Xiaodezi, bring me a cloth.”

Xia Muqing, who was about to turn around and leave, stopped in her tracks. She could only take a cloth that was hanging outside and brought it to him.

Ye Qingxuan didn’t find anything amiss and naturally reached out to take the cloth from her.

However, Xia Muqing was startled by him. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she had a feeling that Ye Qingxuan had touched her hand when he took the cloth from her.

She didn’t dare to linger any longer. Just as she was about to leave, Ye Qingxuan spoke again.

“Xiaodezi, add some hot water for mer.”

Xia Muqing stole a glance at Ye Qingxuan in the bathtub, and tried her best to control her eyes from darting around.

Ye Qingxuan was sitting in the bathtub with his arms on the edge. He raised his head and closed his eyes to rest.

Xia Muqing calculated the chances of her escaping if she were to leave now. Under Ye Qingxuan’s urging, she braced herself and entered. She found a wooden bucket with hot water and scooped some hot water for him.

She was relieved to see that he didn’t open his eyes.

Ye Qingxuan commanded, “Continue. Why are you so lazy today?”

Xia Muqing could only continue with her actions. Seeing that he didn’t stop urging her, she had a wicked idea. She kept pouring hot water into the water to see how long he could withstand the temperature.

Seeing that the hot water in the wooden bucket was about to be empty, Ye Qingxuan continued to sit in the bathtub without a change in expression.

Xia Muqing was a little surprised. She reached out to touch the surface of the water. The heat of the water made her hiss softly.

Damn it!

She quickly covered her mouth. They were so close. He must have heard her sounds just now.

Ye Qingxuan said lazily, “Xiaodezi, massage my shoulders.”

Did he not hear her?

Xia Muqing carefully approached him and placed her hands on his shoulders before gently massaging him.

Ye Qingxuan looked like he was enjoying himself. He adjusted his posture and instructed, “Use more strength.”

Xia Muqing cursed silently as she used all her strength to massage him.

Ye Qingxuan frowned and said, “Be gentle. What happened today? You are not being careful.”

Xia Muqing really wanted to slap him on the head, but she was afraid that he would realize that she wasn’t his servant, so she reduced her strength.

Until her hands became sore, Ye Qingxuan still looked as if he was enjoying himself. Just as she was completely tired, he spoke again.

“Xiaodezi, dry my hair.”

She could only stop and wipe his hair with the cloth again. However, she had a vague feeling that something was amiss. She surveyed her surroundings, wondering where she could escape.

Just as she was feeling distracted, Ye Qingxuan suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into the bathtub.

Xia Muqing landed with a loud splash and she quickly wiped the water off her face. She saw Ye Qingxuan grinning at her.

She had obviously realized it was her.

Xia Muqing stopped pretending and glared at him. “You did it on purpose!”

Ye Qingxuan drawled lazily, “Who else besides you, have the guts to peek at me bathing in the middle of the night?”

Xia Muqing’s expression didn’t look too good. When she noticed the distance between them, her expression turned more solemn. She immediately wanted to jump out of the tub.

However, Ye Qingxuan reached out and pulled her into his arms. The back of Xia Muqing’s clothes were soaked and Ye Qingxuan was bare-chested. When the two of them were in this position, their skin was practically touching each other..
