Every time she touched a part of his skin, she seemed to feel a strong current spreading throughout her body from her fingers.
Though she yearned to shake off her myriad thoughts, every single glance at his handsome face brought them all back, unshakeable.
It was entrancing.
Gu Liancheng was no better. He seemed calm on the surface, but felt a stirring as her fingers innocently brushed around his body.
The steamy air filled the bathroom, making Elevenâs cheeks feel hot as if enveloped in a flaming coat. It was getting warm.
The atmosphere became even stranger, and Eleven gradually slowed her scrubbing.
Why did she feel...
Indeed, they shouldnât have agreed so nonchalantly to everything! Though it seemed like nothing had changed, the absence of their marital barrier unraveled new implications, which she had underestimated!
Her gaze unintentionally fell into the water.
Cough!
"Alright, you have another hand, donât you! Wash yourself! Call me when youâre done." Eleven declared a strike.
Howeverâ
His hand suddenly seized her arm, and with a "thud," amidst Elevenâs screams, she was plunged into the bathtub. The splash drenched the floor.
With the buoyancy of the water, he easily held her body, but her face accidentally slammed into his chest.
Oh, her nose...
Her hair was half soaked, and her face was sprinkled with water droplets.
After causing trouble, Gu Liancheng continued nonchalantly, "Arenât you going to bathe? Letâs do it together."
She didnât know where to rest her hands. In a panic, she found a safe haven by grabbing his hand. As for her other handâ
Eleven trembled a bit and immediately retracted her hand. "No need, Iâll wash later... Ahâ"
Their bodies exchanged positions in the bathtub filled with water. Any movement caused the water to slosh out. Elevenâs body ended up at the bottom, failing to find a balance due to the buoyancy. It was Gu Lianchengâs hand at the back of her head that prevented her from swallowing water.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he was handicapped, he still managed to overpower her effortlessly in such a situation.
"Forget about it, letâs bathe together."
He was smitten with her disoriented expressionâit was incredibly delightful.
He leaned down to kiss her, his lips fully encompassing hers so there was no air between them. Submerged in the water, Eleven had to close her eyes.
They kissed passionately underwater, not allowing any air to enter.
Eleven felt she was about to pass out, unable to hold her breath any longer. She kept thumping his shoulder, asking him to let her loose.
Gu Liancheng did not let go instantly. It was only when he felt that she was almost out of breath that he lifted her up to the surface.
"Ahâ!" Eleven screamed, panting heavily. She wiped the water off her face, and with wide-open eyes, stared at him. "Have you gone mad! I almost couldnât breathe!"
Gu Liancheng licked his lips, feeling unsatisfied. "Never thought of this before... what a pity it would have been to not give it a try."
Eleven got up from the bathtub and splashed water on him: "Save it for your Little Snow!"
Eleven ran out of the bathroom. Right across from the door was a large mirror. The reflection revealed her drenched, disheveled figure.
