The atmosphere froze.

Helian Wei Wei could clearly see Baili Jia Jue’s pupils shrinking.

She was wondering whether her shout was too loud and it had irritated him.

However, she could not stop herself from shouting.

He was so prideful while he put on his usual cold expression to make others to stay away.

She just had to finish her sentence as fast as she could.

He did not say a word and it was awkwardly silent around them. Helian Wei Wei could not help but clear her throat, “I…”

“So, are you confessing?” He finally spoke while looking at her insouciantly.

Confessing? Helian Wei Wei had no intention to argue with him at that time. She nodded and said, “Yes, I’m confessing.” I’ll just go with whatever you say.

“Come here.” Baili Jia Jue’s low voice was like twilight in spring, hazy but warm. He seemed easy to get close to, but he was elusive at the same time.

Helian Wei Wei walked toward him and wanted to say something.

He took her in his arms. Her nose was instantly filled with his scent.

She could even hear his heartbeat, it was slow but strong just like the ocean. It was as if he could make the whole world calm down by his mere presence.

“Don’t go anywhere then. Stay with me.”

Baili Jia Jue’s breath brushed past Helian Wei Wei’s ear and she felt ticklish all over her body.

However, she was clearly aware that she could not promise him.

Helian Wei Wei did not speak. She extended her arm to hold his waist and rubbed her face on his fur cloak.

Not getting the answer that he wished for, Baili Jia Jue’s smile lost its warmth instantly.

However, he was not as unapproachable as before. He pushed her away and said with a faint tone, “You have not taken bath since yesterday, didn’t you?”

Bath? She had been locked in a cage for the whole day, so of course, she did not take bath. However, she did not think that she would smell foul. Why did he have to push her away from that nice hug?

Baili Jia Jue took another glance at her and ordered Fire Qilin at his side, “Go heat up some water and send it to the Hall of Light. Don’t forget to bring a brush.”

“Understood.” Fire Qilin lowered its gaze with respect but its gaze was directed toward Helian Wei Wei.

Helian Wei Wei was baffled because of its gaze.

She then followed Baili Jia Jue back to the Hall of Light. He ordered, “Take off your clothes.”

She only got the idea, “Are you going to bathe me?”

“This is your reward for today.” Baili Jia Jue said casually.

Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. What kind of sh*tty reward is this? I’m a female! Also, why are you holding a brush for animals?
