Chapter 566: Too Much ‘Nourishment’ 1 (1/2)

The corners of Chu Lian’s lips twitched. She had just found out they truly wouldn’t be able to move in this position.

With her covering He Changdi’s eyes and He Changdi carrying her…

“Then… then set me down and I’ll walk by myself,” Chu Lian suggested after a long moment.

He Sanlang’s mouth curled up into a smirk, “Are you sure?”

After saying so, he moved into a stance where he seemed ready to set her down.

Chu Lian abruptly recalled the difference in height between them. If he really put her down like this, she would barely be able to cover his eyes and it would take just way too much effort to do so… She would be completely exposed to his gaze anyway. Wouldn’t she be stuck right back in the situation she was right now?

“Wait, wait!” Seeing He Sanlang about to let her down, Chu Lian raised her voice in alarm.

He Sanlang’s face was lit up with a mischievous smile. He shifted her higher up and even managed to grope a feel on her butt while he was it. A blush immediately bloomed to life on Chu Lian’s cheeks.

“You…!”

“Aren’t you going to put down your hands? Do you really want to catch a cold?”

Chu Lian bit her lip and slowly pulled her arms back down.

She crossed her arms over her chest instead to hide the cherry buds on top of the ‘hills of snow’. However, it only pushed her hills together to form an even deeper and tempting valley.

He Sanlang’s gaze travelled down her neck to behold the view of that valley. His pupils dilated with interest, but he managed to hide it quickly.

He Changdi would never put Chu Lian’s health at stake for a mere joke. Worried that she would really catch a cold, he swiftly carried her over to the changing screen and grabbed a large cloak. He wrapped it securely around her before running out of the bathroom with her still in his arms.

He took one of the blankets from the bed and added another layer of warmth around her before calling for Wenqing to help Chu Lian dry off. Meanwhile, he turned back and re-entered the bathroom instead.

When Wenqing came in to help Chu Lian dress up, she couldn’t keep the smile off her face. Chu Lian was so embarrassed that she couldn’t look up.

The sounds of water splashing came from the bathroom. It was only then that Chu Lian realised that the bath water hadn’t been changed, and that it had already cooled down by the time she was done.
