After that, Shangguan Xiu prepared the hot water and gently placed An Xiaomian into the bathtub.
Avoiding her injured shoulder, he solemnly and silently bathed her.
Although An Xiaomian still felt a bit shy, she didn't refuse this time. Finally, she had the courage to open her eyes while he was bathing her, watching him through the mist.
She gazed at him, mesmerized, feeling like she could never look enough.
Shangguan Xiu naturally felt her gaze upon him. After washing for a while, he suddenly lifted his head, looking at her with a wicked smile and said in a deep voice, "What, want me to join you for a bath, hmm?"
An Xiaomian's face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly looked away, "N-no..."
Shangguan Xiu was in a great mood, yet behaved properly, not touching her inappropriately. He spoke in a deep voice, "Although I'd love to bathe with you, your wound is severe. For your health's sake, I won't touch you for now. You just have to bear with it a little longer."
