"Are you scared?"

"Don't be afraid, they are just two little thieves, they are definitely no match for you."

"Trust me so much?"

"Of course. You are the person I trust the most here. You are the person I can trust unconditionally."

"What about Mu Xiu?"

Wan Ning thought about it and replied, "You are different."

After successfully escaping from the brothel, in the deserted alley, Ziheng asked Wan Ning with concern whether the fight just now scared her. Her unconditional trust was enough to make him overjoyed. Other questions were no longer important, and he did not ask any more questions. He happily held her hand, smiled shyly and said, "Yan Yan, can I take you home?"

"Okay... okay." But as soon as she finished answering, Wan Ning, who was fine just now, suddenly fainted.

Ziheng caught her steadily, recalling that the villain had thrown something at his back in a hurry to escape, and she must have inhaled some of it. It was already late at night, and it was inconvenient to go back to the palace, so Ziheng hurriedly picked her up and ran towards his house outside the palace.

The country of Chu has abundant rainfall in the summer. After the beginning of summer, the rainfall in Nanye has increased. Sometimes the sky is clear and sunny, and then it turns rainy the next second. Today is no exception. Just now, it was still light and peaceful, but suddenly a torrential rain came. It was so fast and fierce that there was no place to hide. Ziheng had no choice but to take off his coat and put it on Wan Ning, trying his best to block some of the rain for her, but when they arrived at the door of the house, they were still soaked by the rain.

Although the door of the house was closed, there was always someone guarding it secretly. Li Song saw his master and immediately rushed to open the door. Li Song held an umbrella for Ziheng and was curious about what was in his arms, so he asked, "Master, what's wrong with you? What's in your arms?"

Wan Ning lifted up her coat, revealing her wet head and round eyes, and greeted Lisong: "Hello, Lisong, it's me."

"Yanyan, are you awake?" Ziheng asked with concern, and immediately ordered Lisong: "Quick, boil a bucket of water and send it to my room."

"Yes."

"Yes, I'm fine, please put me down." Wan Ning felt a little embarrassed being stared at.

Ziheng ignored her and carried her to the main hall and put her on a chair, then picked up a clean towel to wipe the water off her body. Wan Ning looked at him, who was several times wetter than her and was even dripping with water, and felt distressed and wanted to grab the towel: "I'll do it myself."

But the hand she had just raised suddenly fell down without any warning, and was about to hit the hard chair and get hurt. Ziheng quickly blocked her between the armrests of the chair. The wrist that fell naturally hit his hand hard, and then hit the sharp part of the chair. Ziheng felt the pain and pretended to be calm and explained: "Yanyan, you were drugged. Although you have regained consciousness, your body has not fully woken up. Don't worry, take a bath later, and then take a nap. You will be fine when you wake up, okay?"

Wan Ning didn't realize what was going to happen yet, she nodded obediently, thinking: "It's just that the anesthetic effect hasn't worn off yet, it's a good time to take a rest, I've been so sleepy lately."

At this time, Lisong came in and reported: "Master, the hot water has been boiled and placed in your room. Do you have any other instructions?"

Ziheng waved his hand: "It's okay, leave now."

After saying that, Ziheng picked up Wan Ning again and walked towards the room. Wan Ning didn't think much about it at this time. She just thought that she was not feeling well and he was just being kind. She just felt uncomfortable with the wetness on her body, but she could only endure it for one night. There were no girls in this house, and she was not used to having a strange girl change her clothes.

As soon as she walked to the door of the room, a burst of floral fragrance hit her in the face. Wan Ning found a topic to break the awkwardness and asked, "It smells so good, what kind of flowers are planted here?"

Ziheng just smiled faintly, without answering her question, and only held Wan Ning with one hand, freeing his hand to push open the door, and instantly the fragrance of flowers wafted out from inside. Wan Ning looked curiously, and the room was full of flowers blooming under the candlelight, red, pink, yellow, and all kinds of colors.

"Do you like this summer I give to you, Yanyan?" Ziheng asked in a low and gentle voice.

"Like...like it." Wan Ning was so surprised that she was almost speechless. This visit to the house was a spur of the moment decision. When did this guy start preparing for it, or did he have it planned in advance?

After entering the room, Ziheng first put Wan Ning on a chair. She had recovered a little and could hold on to herself to avoid falling. She watched Ziheng go to a wooden barrel and stretched out two fingers to test the temperature inside.

Wan Ning seemed to understand something instantly, and her face turned red. She thought to herself: "What he asked Lisong to prepare was not hot water for drinking, but bathing water! Is Ziheng going to help me take a bath?" Thinking of this, her face turned red so much that it was about to burn.

At this time, Ziheng came back to her and was about to pick her up but was stopped. Wan Ning asked shyly, "Ziheng, what are you doing?"

Ziheng smiled mischievously and said, "You were very brave when you were acting just now, what's wrong with you now? You got caught in the rain, you'll get sick if you don't take a bath, and a bubble bath can help dissolve the drug in Yanyan faster."

Seeing Wan Ning holding onto his sleeve and refusing to let go, Ziheng also knew her concerns, so he stood up and blew out all the candles in the room, leaving only one by the bath tub. He then squatted down next to Wan Ning and comforted her softly, "If Yanyan is worried, I will turn off all the lights, and you can blow out the one later, is that okay?"

Without waiting for Wan Ning to answer, he took off the hairband that tied up Wan Ning's hair. Instantly, Wan Ning's hair fell down and looked even more pitiful. He unconsciously looked away, covered his eyes with the hairband, and said, "I'll cover my eyes. Is this okay, Yanyan?"

Looking at his silly look, Wan Ning nodded and replied softly, "Okay."

With Wan Ning's consent, Ziheng stood up and held Wan Ning in his arms. Relying on his memory, he was able to safely carry her to the wooden barrel and put her down. Wan Ning's legs were weak, so she leaned on the wooden barrel to avoid falling. Ziheng held the last lamp in front of her and asked, "Please, Yanyan, blow out this lamp?"

When Wan Ning leaned over and was about to blow it out, she suddenly saw Ziheng's pious expression and stood there in a daze. Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Ziheng reminded her again: "Yanyan, are you ready?"

"Okay, okay." After saying that, Wan Ning blew some air at the candle and left everything to fate.

She deliberately stared at Ziheng's mouth and smiled gently, watching him put the candle back to its original place, and then untied her belt and tied herself up to take off all her clothes. Wan Ning held the wooden barrel with both hands, facing Ziheng, looking at herself standing naked in front of him so honestly, while he was unaware of anything and cautious.

Ziheng clenched his fists, used his sleeves as a shield to carry Wan Ning into the wooden barrel, and asked, "Yan Yan, is the water temperature okay? Is it hot?"

Wan Ning lowered her head to look into the bucket, and discovered that even the water was filled with rose petals, emitting waves of fragrance. She forgot to answer.

"Yanyan?"

"Okay, it's not hot."

Ziheng smiled gently, his sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes were particularly obvious under the dim light. He fumbled for a towel and said to Wan Ning, "Yanyan, give me your arm. I'll help you wipe it."

Wan Ning didn't say anything, but she shrunk her whole body into the water, leaving only her eyes to look at him silently. She slowly closed her eyes, and suddenly the whole world became clear. She leaned over the edge of the bucket and stretched out of the water, kissing Ziheng's lips without hesitation, not like a dragonfly touching the water, but full of possessiveness, rushing and biting.

Intentionally or unintentionally, the knot was untied, and the hairband slowly fell down. In the reflection of the candlelight, Ziheng could see everything.

"Yanyan?"
