Chapter 92 Mandarin ducks playing in the water
"Hehe, Your Highness is overthinking it."
Xie Yan forced a smile and said, "I'm not so desperate as to be indiscriminate in my choices."
"It doesn't matter."
Chu Ling then untied the jade belt from his waist and casually draped it over a nearby shelf, his tone revealing a kind and understanding quality, "Even if you really do something to me, I won't blame you."
"After all, it was directed at me, so your situation is understandable."
Xie Yan: "..."
After several exchanges, Xie Yan finally realized a fact—Chu Ling's skin was much thicker than her own.
If I continue to entangle myself with him like this, I will be the one who loses first.
It's just sleeping, right? You're talking like you've never slept with anyone before.
Xie Yan slowly exhaled, calmly stepped into the room, and began to undress without saying a word.
Chu Ling sat at the table, propping his chin up with his hand, watching with great interest.
But just then——
"Your Highness, Young Master Xie, I heard from the disciples of the Martial Alliance that there are hot springs here, you..."
Yu Bai poked his head in from outside, saw the two people inside, and stopped talking abruptly.
Looking at Chu Ling, who had already unbuttoned his outer robe, revealing his white inner garment, and then turning to look at Xie Yan, who was taking off her clothes, Yu Bai felt a buzzing in his mind.
Seeing the scene before him, he was so shocked that he tried to turn around without thinking, but he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"Ah! You...you're already getting ready to rest! Well, that's fine then, I'll be going! Just pretend I was never here! You guys continue, continue!"
Yu Bai held onto the door frame with one hand and covered his eyes with the other, his voice trembling involuntarily.
Why does he always manage to catch us doing this?! Next time, he absolutely will not come when the Prince and Young Master Xie are alone!
After saying that, without waiting for a response from the two, Yu Bai covered his eyes, turned around, and stumbled away.
Xie Yan: "..."
He turned to look at Chu Ling, took a deep breath, and said sincerely, "I think it's necessary for us to properly explain to others that our relationship is purely financial."
Chu Ling looked back at him, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I think it's no use explaining anymore."
"so,"
Chu Ling stood up, took a few steps closer to Xie Yan, and suddenly reached out and hooked his belt, pulling him closer to himself.
She lowered her head, and loose strands of hair fell onto Xie Yan's body with the movement.
Only when the two were face to face and closer together could Xie Yan faintly smell a faint sandalwood fragrance emanating from Chu Ling.
He whispered in her ear, "How about we just make this relationship official?"
Xie Yan: "...???"
Seeing the sudden widening of the person in front of him, Chu Ling finally couldn't help but chuckle. After releasing his hand, he raised it and tapped Xie Yan's forehead, saying, "Just kidding."
"But we could go soak in the hot springs, let's go."
After saying that, Chu Ling turned around, picked up his cloak from the shelf, put it on, and took the lead out the door.
Even after Chu Lingdu had walked out the door, Xie Yandu was still standing there, stunned.
A moment later, he frowned slightly and pressed his hand to his chest with some confusion.
But Xie Yan didn't dwell on it for long. He shook his head, put that strange feeling behind him, and turned to leave.
After the two went out, they bumped into Yu Bai, who was outside calming down.
Upon seeing the two men emerge, he shuddered in fright, forced a smile, and stammered, "Your Highness, Young Master Xie, where are you headed?"
No, they're not going to silence him, are they?
Chu Ling glanced at him, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Didn't you say there were hot springs?"
"Ah? Ah! Right, right, hot springs. So you're going to soak in hot springs." Yu Bai slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing.
"I'll take you there right now."
The martial arts alliance is vast, and there are many hot springs within its borders.
And there was one place that happened to be not far away, right behind the courtyard where they lived.
From the outside, you can only see the swirling mist; you have to get closer to see the whole hot spring.
The area was surrounded by bamboo strips, with only one opening for people to enter and exit. A white gauze curtain hung at the opening, partially obscuring what lay inside.
Chu Ling reached out and lifted the gauze curtain, revealing a small hot spring pool paved with bluestone, filled with water and emitting wisps of steam.
Several stone steps are laid in the pool to facilitate access.
Chu Ling reached out and untied his cloak, casually draped it over a nearby stone bench, and then walked straight toward the hot spring.
Yu Bai turned to look at Xie Yan, who was clearly lost in thought, and whispered, "Young Master Xie, aren't you going down?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yan snapped out of her daze, glanced at Chu Ling who was already sitting in the hot spring pool, and then looked at Yu Bai.
"Aren't you going to soak?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Bai immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.
"No, no, no, I... I still need to prepare a change of clothes for the prince..."
Then, as if he felt that his words were not convincing enough, he added, "And, moreover, I also have to stay outside and watch over him, to protect the reputation of our Prince!"
Xie Yan: ...Then why are you letting me stay here?
After saying that, without waiting for Xie Yan's reply, Yu Bai turned around and slipped away.
The misty air partially obscured Chu Ling's figure as he leaned against the hot spring pool, eyes closed in repose.
But with Xie Yan's sharp eyesight, she could still clearly see—
Chu Ling's face was flushed slightly by the heat, and the corners of his eyes were tinged with a vibrant color.
His long hair was loose and damp, clinging slightly to his taut muscles, and his chest rose and fell gently with his breath.
No wonder this guy is narcissistic; he certainly has the right to be.
Xie Yan sighed and began to undress.
Oh well, we're already here.
With a "splash," the water rippled and spread out in layers, rushing towards Chu Ling.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Chu Ling turned his head and saw a human skin mask that had been removed on the steps.
But he still couldn't see Xie Yan's face, because the person was leaning back against the edge of the pool, covering her face with a cloth soaked in hot water.
Through the steam, Chu Ling could only see Xie Yan's neck and chin protruding from the water, and a patch of her shoulders and neck that was flushed red by the steam.
Perhaps because of her fair skin, Xie Yan's body seems to turn red easily when stimulated by external stimuli, and the redness is quite noticeable.
Chu Ling's gaze lingered on him for a long time before she looked away.
Hearing Xie Yan's sigh, he closed his eyes again.
The two of them remained silent, enjoying the moment of peace.
Only the hot spring water was still emitting wisps of steam, and occasionally a breeze would blow by, gently lifting the gauze curtains before they gently fell back down.
