e you,” Yan Mu said in his ear.

Yu Yuan lowered his head and stopped talking.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have shouted at you just now.” After wiping his hair dry, Yan Mu came to sit next to Yu Yuan.
“I’m sorry Yu Yuan, will you forgive me?”

She pulled the teenager’s hand, her gaze extremely sincere.

The teenager’s hand was covered in old scars, and Yu Yuan slightly flinched when Yan Mu touched them.

He subconsciously wanted to retract his hand, but Yan Mu was grasping it.

Yu Yuan’s eyes slightly flickered, and he turned his head to the side.

After a long time, Yan Mu heard him softly say, “I forgive you.”

The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile, and the stone in Yan Mu’s heart finally fell to the ground4.

She picked up the comb to brush Yu Yuan’s hair.

Yu Yuan had excellent quality hair, and it could be combed smoothly without hitting any knots.

The room was dense with steam, and the fragrance from the bath beans on the teenager’s hair wafted over.

The scent lingered on Yan Mu’s nose.
Enduring and spreading out, it didn’t disperse for a long time.

“It smells good,” Yan Mu leaned over and inhaled.
“The quality of this place’s bath beans is really not bad.”

In order to save costs, many inns provided bath beans that were almost odorless, or with very cheap fragrances.

Yu Yuan thought of something and gently nudged Yan Mu.

“Ah Mu, hurry up and bathe, the night will be cold soon,” Yu Yuan said as he lowered his gaze.

After speaking, he got up and called for hot water again, then sat on the bed very obediently and began reading a book.

Yan Mu moved the candle to Yu Yuan’s side, then hesitated for a moment, before saying with some embarrassment, “Then…… I’ll go bathe now?”

“Mmm,” Yu Yuan nodded his head and continued to read.

Yan Mu went behind the screen.
The large tub of water was steaming, and the curling vapor made her vision hazy.

Yu Yuan won’t be peeking, right……

Yan Mu recalled Yu Yuan’s character: cold temperament, sinister and ruthless, yandere, and not fond of women.

Mmm, he probably won’t peek then.

Yan Mu instantly felt relieved.

She removed all her clothes and slowly sank her body into the hot water.

All her fatigue from the day disappeared.
Yan Mu felt very comfortable, as if all of her pores were opened.

Phew.

She wet her hair and picked up a bath bean to wash it.

**************

Yu Yuan’s knuckles turned white as he gripped the book.

The sound of splashing water came from behind the screen, and if he looked up slightly, he’d see the young girl’s slender silhouette.

He pursed his lips, turning red from his ears to his neck.

The book no longer seemed engaging.

Yu Yuan put the book aside, disinterested.

The faint aroma of the bath beans came through the air, and it was exactly the same smell as Yu Yuan’s.

Yu Yuan raised his head and lightly sniffed.

Ah Mu was bathing in the same wooden tub as him, and her body had the same smell as him.

This realization excited him.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and Yu Yuan’s mood became inexplicably delighted.

He took a deep breath and buried his head under the quilt. 

He’d climbed into her bed many times before.

But this time, more than usual, it made him…… feel more restless5.

Remembering the figure that he had inadvertently seen just now, for the first time, Yu Yuan deeply realized that—— Yan Mu was already an adult.

She was no longer the little girl who would crouch in the corner, hugging her knees, curled up into a ball.

She was like a peach blossom about to bloom in the morning, with little dewdrops on its pink petals.

Beautiful, fresh, and clean, tugging at one’s heartstrings.

One couldn’t help but anticipate how beautiful and attractive it would be when it was in full bloom.

This made Yu Yuan a little worried.

Yan Mu was so good-looking.
Once she arrived in the capital, there would definitely be many men coveting her.

At the thought of Yan Mu smiling at other men, Yu Yuan felt like the good mood he’d had just now was completely gone.

Yu Yuan lowered his eyes and secretly plotted in his heart.

There were sounds coming from behind the screen, it seemed like the young girl had finished her bath and was getting out of the bathtub.

Yu Yuan’s expression slightly paused, and he buried his whole body under the quilt, not daring to move.

A rustling sound emerged, which seemed to be the young girl getting dressed.

Yu Yuan closed his eyes and inexplicably felt like his mouth was dry6.

Light footsteps headed towards him.

One step, two steps, three steps…… 

The young girl’s strides were light and graceful, as nimble as a cat. 

However, he heard the young girl cry out in surprise, followed by the muffled sound of a body hitting the ground.

Yu Yuan seemed to forget all his shyness and timidity.

He lifted the quilt and took a few steps towards Yan Mu.

The young girl was curled up into a ball, her face writhing in pain.

She was wearing underclothes, so Yu Yuan couldn’t see her injury yet.

He looked at Yan Mu anxiously and found that she was already tearing up from the pain.

“I’ll carry you,” He seemed to instantly make up his mind.

Before Yan Mu could speak, she felt her body become light.

The teenager carefully carried her in his arms, as if he was hugging a rare treasure.

Yu Yuan’s all-encompassing scent poured into her nose.
Yan Mu was completely nestled in the teenager’s arms.
When she looked up, she could see his pointed chin, and well-defined attractive jawline. 

Those beautiful eyes that one could drown in were looking at her worriedly.

Yan Mu had the illusion that the eyes and heart of the teenager were filled only with her.

Her heart started to pound, uncontrollably and violently.

Her face also flushed, as red as a peach blossom.

“Does it hurt a lot?” Yu Yuan was getting more and more worried.

Yan Mu’s face reddened from the pain.

She was clearly the one injured, but Yu Yuan’s heart was also throbbing with pain.

He gently placed Yan Mu on the bed.

“Where does it hurt?” He asked.

Yan Mu froze, then said, somewhat embarrassed, “Waist……”

Yu Yuan was stunned, then his eyes darkened.

“……Which side of your waist?” Yu Yuan hoarsely asked, pretending to be calm.

“The back side,” Yan Mu covered her face.

She was about to die of shame.

She had just stepped on a puddle of water on the ground when her foot slipped, and just as she was about to reach out and hold onto something, she knocked against the stool instead.

She felt like she had a grudge with that stool, after all, this was the second time she’d bumped into it tonight.

And it was the back of her waist that was knocked against it, so she couldn’t even see it herself.

The young girl hesitated over and over again, then raised her head and softly asked, “……How about, you help me look at it?”

Yu Yuan’s character is not fond of women anyway.
So, there shouldn’t be any problem…… right?

Yu Yuan was stunned.

For a moment, fireworks seemed to explode in his mind.

The teenager suddenly felt a little dizzy.

His hands trembled slightly, and he tried very hard to look calm.

He didn’t dare to look at Yan Mu.
He could only lower his head and hoarsely say, “……Then, let me have a look.”
