Gurururu——
Chen Mo almost couldn’t hold it in.
As bubbles rose to the water’s surface, Lin Jingzhu’s face changed slightly, and she quickly tightened her grip.
The outcome was inevitable...
"Hmm~"
Lin Jingzhu’s body trembled, her pretty face turned crimson red, her eyes filled with shame, and steam rose from her head.
Fortunately, the steam in the pool was thick, and the Empress did not notice anything unusual.
"Little aunt, we’re almost done with the bath, shall we go?"
"Why the rush? We haven’t even been here for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea; we usually soak for at least an hour."
The Empress was particularly afraid of meeting Chen Mo now, totally in a state of ostrich-like avoidance mode...
An hour?!
Chen Mo, listening from underwater, felt a bit anxious.
He’s not a turtle; he can’t hold his breath for that long...
He stretched out his hand and patted Lin Jingzhu’s thigh, signaling her to quickly lead the Empress away.
Lin Jingzhu squeezed her legs, asking him to wait patiently, she would think of a solution.
Time passed by slowly.
Yet, the Empress showed no intention of leaving.
Seeing more and more bubbles rising, Lin Jingzhu knew Chen Mo couldn’t hold on much longer, feeling anxious, she decided to simply drag the Empress out by force.
At this moment, the Empress’ expression changed slightly, frowning, she said: "You unruly girl, what are you touching!? "
"Huh? I didn’t..."
Lin Jingzhu paused mid-sentence, suddenly realizing something.
"Tsk, still touching! I really can’t deal with you!"
The Empress shivered, her cheeks flushed, and she shot an annoyed glance at Lin Jingzhu.
Feeling she might do something outrageous if they stayed any longer, she turned and headed for the edge of the bath.
Lin Jingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, supporting herself on the Jade Platform, and slowly got up, but her legs were weak and she almost toppled back into the pool.
A large hand steadied her firm derrière.
Lin Jingzhu turned to look and saw under the clear water, Chen Mo grinning up at her.
"Thank you, Lin Catcher, gurururu—"
"..."
Embarrassed beyond words, Lin Jingzhu covered her burning face and ran out as if escaping.
...
After confirming both had left, Chen Mo slowly surfaced from the water.
Thinking of the splendid sight earlier, his heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
Lin Jingzhu truly had skin as pure as snow and bones like jade, flawless like a perfect gemstone, and as for the Empress, the visual impact was almost too much for him to bear right there...
"Bathing has its risks, caution must be taken!"
At this moment, text prompts flashed before his eyes:
["Lin Jingzhu’s" Favorability Rating has increased.]
[Current progress: 55/100 (Mutual Affection).]
[Favorability reached the threshold, second stage reward unlocked.]
