Good heavens! The Supreme God is being relentlessly harassed!

Shen Wangchuan was too embarrassed to tell Xu Suiyuan that it was actually his persistent pursuit that won Xie Liuyan's heart, ultimately leading to their relationship.

However, to save face, he made an excuse:

"No, that's not true. Ah Yan and I are in love. Uncle Xu, don't overthink it. Ah Yan's leg was completely healed thanks to Uncle Xu's skillful hands."

Xu Suiyuan's suspicious gaze swept over Shen Wangchuan. "I understand. I'm about 60-70% confident that his leg injury will be healed."

Hearing Uncle Xu's assurance, Shen Wangchuan felt much more at ease.

Remembering that Ayan had asked him to boil water, he quickly asked:

"Uncle Xu, do you know where we can boil water in this bamboo house?" He scratched his head a little embarrassedly as he spoke. "We've been traveling for several days and would like to take a bath tonight."

Xu Suiyuan called out into his room, "Fuling, take Young Master Shen to the kitchen to boil water, and find a tub for him to take a bath as well."

Upon hearing the voice, Fuling came out of the house and replied, "Yes, Master. Young Master Shen, please come with me."

And so, Shen Wangchuan followed Fuling to the kitchen to boil water, which took half a day.

After all, it was a bit difficult to fill a large bucket. When Xie Liuyan was feeling a bit sleepy and sat down at the small table by the bed, propping himself up with his hands to rest, Shen Wangchuan and Fuling carried the wooden bucket in.

Xie Liuyan was startled awake. He opened his eyes and asked in a slightly dazed tone, "Why are you so late?"

Fu Ling was surprised by the familiar attitude of the two, but he was still perceptive enough to know to give them space.

But before he left, he whispered something in Shen Wangchuan's ear:

“Young Master Shen, it’s not easy to boil water in the kitchen, and it’s getting late. I’m afraid you and the Prince will have to make do with this. My master and I went to bed early, so if you need to boil water again, you’ll have to do it yourself.”

"The barrel is large and sturdy. I'll be going now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wangchuan narrowed his eyes, sensing that the kid was implying something.

But the other person looked completely innocent, as if they knew nothing at all.

"you· · ·"

As Fuling turned around, she placed something in Shen Wangchuan's hand, speaking in a low voice as if afraid of being overheard.

“This is what my master asked me to give you. He also told me to tell Young Master Shen that ‘young people should be mindful of moderation.’ Now that the task is complete, I, Fuling, will take my leave.”

It seems this kid found out too. He was wondering why Uncle Xu called Fuling over to say a few more words when he called her out earlier.

He thought it was about instructing him on the herbs in the house, but it turned out to be...

However, thinking about what the other party had just said, Shen Wangchuan shamelessly felt a pang of temptation.

With a barrel this big, it would be easy to soak two adult men.

He had also been traveling for a long time and wanted to take a bath with Ayan.

However, the most important thing right now is to answer Ayan's question first, so as not to anger her again.

"It's nothing. The kitchen boils water slowly, and we use a lot of water, so it naturally takes a little longer."

"Ayan, are you going to take a bath now?"

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Xie Liuyan's eyes. "Otherwise what? Can't we soak tomorrow?"

"It must be inconvenient for Ayan to take a bath alone, so she might as well keep me by her side to take care of her."

Shen Wangchuan's abacus beads were practically flying into Xie Liuyan's face, but Xie Liuyan's tone was ambiguous, as if he were smiling but not smiling:

"Why don't you come and take a bath with us? Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"

Shen Wangchuan subconsciously replied, "Okay, okay, that's exactly what I was thinking. Ayan understands me best."

As soon as he finished speaking, he knew his little scheme had been completely exposed. He looked up and saw Xie Liuyan staring intently at him, the other man's hand still on his waist.

I thought Ah Yan would refuse, but to my surprise, she agreed.

"Okay, then you can soak with me. Now come over and help me take off my clothes."

Huh? Shen Wangchuan was the one who was at a loss.

However, with the opportunity right in front of him, if he were to back down now, he would never be able to hold his head high in front of Ayan again.

Shen Wangchuan mustered extraordinary courage, feigning composure as he walked step by step toward Xie Liuyan.

But his shifty eyes and trembling hands betrayed his true feelings.

So much so that when he placed his hand on Xie Liuyan's belt, he stared straight at Xie Liuyan, a stark contrast to his usual roguish behavior.

His performance was exactly what Xie Liuyan had promised. He watched calmly as Shen Wangchuan first took off his outer garment, then his inner garment. When his fair and smooth skin was exposed to the air, some people's breathing became disordered.

Xie Liuyan originally had a bronze complexion, but after being injured and ill, he stayed in the capital to recuperate and rarely went out to sunbathe.

My skin returned to its original white state, but no matter how I take care of it, it will always be a bit pale. This is a sequela of the serious injury my body suffered.

There are two scars on his chest near his shoulder, which are proof of Xie Liuyan's experience on the battlefield and also the glory of his protection of the Yun Kingdom.

Seeing this, Shen Wangchuan's mind was not as agitated as it had been at the beginning. He rested his chin on Xie Liuyan's shoulder and gave him a simple, gentle kiss on the back of his neck.

Xie Liuyan thought that the other party would give up when it came to the inner garment, and wanted to tease him a little more, but he didn't expect Shen Wangchuan to persist.

Without looking at Xie Liuyan, Shen Wangchuan kept working, and in a short while, Xie Liuyan was "completely naked" with him.

He himself was dressed neatly, with a rather dignified air about him.

Their relationship had already progressed to this point, so Xie Liuyan had nothing to be coy about. He was just a little closer to seeing his leg ailment cured.

Now is indeed a bit of an inopportune time.

Shen Wangchuan had finally calmed down; he had seen all of Ayan's scars.

He no longer felt any romantic interest in Xie Liuyan, who was now dressed in tattered clothes.

He carried the person into the wooden tub and then turned his back to them.

Xie Liuyan didn't know what he was thinking. Soaking in the hot water, his tone carried a lazy weariness:

"What? Didn't we agree to soak together? Are you disgusted by my ugly body?"

The joke was tinged with a test; Xie Liuyan had suffered many injuries in his early years, and even though he had recovered, the marks were still visible.

Some were before he came into this body, but most were after he came.

Perhaps force is the best way to solve everything, but since Xie Liuyan has become human, he must abide by the rules of the human world.

Getting injured became inevitable. The only thing he could do was to make sure his injuries weren't in vain, and at the very least, to have some value.

Shen Wangchuan's voice was muffled as he began to unbutton his clothes, one by one.

"No, I think Ayan's body is very beautiful. It's just that if I had met Ayan earlier, perhaps Ayan would have suffered less harm."

His answer caught Xie Liuyan off guard. By the time he realized what had happened, the other man was completely naked and had stepped into the wooden tub.

The previously condensed atmosphere began to flow and then became hot.

Their hands were both on each other's waists, and their kiss was passionate and intense.

Xie Liuyan's legs were too weak, so Shen Wangchuan let him lean on him.

Neither of them would back down, and sparks flew as they locked eyes.

Xie Liuyan kissed down along the other person's Adam's apple, one hand around the other person's waist.

The originally long bath time had to be ended quickly because of the fire. Shen Wangchuan carried the person, dried them off, and walked to the bed.

Their eyes were filled with lust, and when they looked at each other, they seemed to want to devour one another.

Shen Wangchuan took out the ointment Xu Suiyuan had given him. Between men, it's easy to get hurt if no precautions are taken.

The only problem they face now is who will be promoted and who will be demoted.

Shen Wangchuan wanted to act coquettishly, but he couldn't resist Xie Liuyan's low breaths as he whispered in his ear, "Achuan, I want you."

With just one sentence, A-Chuan and Shen Wangchuan were completely disarmed, thus relinquishing the initiative.

He kissed her body again and again, coaxing Xie Liuyan to call out "A-Chuan" a few more times.

That's not enough; that's not what he really wants to hear.

In the very end, when Xie Liuyan said, "Shen Wangchuan, I like you too," he was completely satisfied.

After giving them a quick wash, Shen Wangchuan held them and fell asleep peacefully.

Before going to sleep, Xie Liuyan had only one thought in his mind: if he had known that he would be with this person now, he would have preferred to use other methods to lower the guard of those people rather than choose the stupidest method of deliberately injuring himself and hurting his leg.

However, no matter what, Xie Liuyan in the past would never have imagined that he would actually end up with Shen Wangchuan.

Life is unpredictable, but fate is the most wondrous thing.
