Wang Yan never expected that Zhuohua would go to such lengths. What should he do?

Anyway, Zhuohua didn't make a sound after that, just sitting quietly in my arms. If it weren't for that... Wang Yan would really think she was taking a bath in peace!

"Hey? Sister Zhuohua, why are your and Wang Yan's faces so red? Is it too hot?"

Zhizhi crawled over and sat cross-legged in front of Zhuohua. Seeing that both of their faces were extremely red, could it be because the water was too hot?

Zhuohua waved her hand and explained:

"It's okay, the water's just a little hot. I'll let it cool down a bit..."

"!!"

Wang Yan moved slightly, which startled Zhuo Hua.

Zhizhi glanced at Zhuohua, and said with some concern:

"Are you sure it's okay? Wang Yan just told us that soaking for too long will make you faint, so Zhuohua, please don't force yourself to soak."

Squeak stretched and sat down next to Wang Yan.

"Hmm."

Huayue lay on the edge of the bathtub, her black cat tail emerging from the water and swirling around, creating a small whirlpool. She let out a long breath and let out a comfortable moan.

"Mmm—this bath is so comfortable, meow. My whole body feels so relaxed, I'm... sleepy, meow..."

Zhuohua steadied her voice and stood still, saying:

"If you're sleepy... then... then hurry up and go out, dry yourself off, and go back to sleep..."

Yingluo raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her brow with the back of her hand. She hadn't paid any attention to the unusual activity on Zhuohua's side. Of all the family members, she was the one who washed the fur the most diligently. There was no way around it; the fluffy tail was just too difficult to clean, and it really made her sweat profusely.

"Hmm, Huayue, I'm almost done washing up. Let's go together."

"Hey, hey, I'm almost there too, wait for me a bit!"

Zhizhi raised her hand and called out to Yingluo. The group left the bath together, leaving only Wang Yan, Zhuohua, and Youli inside.

Unlike her three sisters, You Li was not naive. She had noticed Zhuo Hua's movements long ago, her pretty face slightly flushed, and she slowly moved over.

"Youli...you...aren't you going with them...together?"

Zhuohua asked Youli in a low voice. Youli chuckled and didn't speak. She just leaned closer to Wang Yan, then raised her head and puffed out her chest. She pinched Wang Yan's chin and kissed him.

(I can't write anymore, I can't write anymore! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I went too far, I didn't mean to!)

In short, after omitting some unnecessary details, Wang Yan finally finished his bath with great comfort. After Zhizhi and the other two left, Youli joined in, but the main course was still Zhuohua. The group went a bit too far, but fortunately they stopped in time and came out of the pool.

Previously, Wang Yan had ordered Jibril to make some towels, bathrobes and the like. After bathing, the group followed Wang Yan's instructions, dried themselves, put on bathrobes, and sat around the campfire to warm themselves and chat.

Zhuohua's legs were a little unsteady, and she slowly took small steps to sit down by the campfire and joined her sisters' group chat. Baiguo, who was in the distance, saw that everyone had come out, so she walked up and said to Wang Yan.

"Sir, shall I go and run the water to clean it now?"

Wang Yan nodded. Bai Guo had almost recovered and had taken on all the chores. She had also worked as a maid in the homes of some noblemen in Shushu City, so she was quite adept at it.

Wang Yan nodded, indicating that she could go ahead and do it, which saved him a lot of trouble.

The sisters chattered excitedly, but Yingluo kept her head down, grooming her tail. Wang Yan glanced up, then sat down next to Yingluo and said:

Why aren't you saying anything?

When Yingluo heard someone speaking to her, she looked up and saw that it was Wang Yan. She then put on a troubled expression and said while grooming her hair:

"Sister Zhuohua used to take us to bathe, but... my tail has the most hair, so it's a hassle to wash and dry. Ugh, I really want to shave all the hair off my tail!"

The thought of Yingluo's bald tail sent chills down Wang Yan's spine. He didn't want to see that, so he pulled Yingluo's tail over and gently combed it.

"Let me help you."

Yingluo blushed a little at Wang Yan's action, but was too embarrassed to push her away, and just whispered:

"Um... um... my tail is a little sensitive, please be gentle."

It has to be said that Yingluo's big tail felt great to the touch, making one want to bury their face in it. Wang Yan carefully combed the fox tail's fur to dry it quickly, and the shrunken tail gradually became fluffy again.

"Hey, Wang Yan! Stop touching it! It's already dried out!"

Wang Yan grinned mischievously and asked her, "What's wrong? I cleaned your tail, and now you're pushing me away?"

Yingluo felt a little embarrassed by what Wang Yan said, blushing and stammering:

"No...no, that's not it! But, but you touched my tail and it's so itchy...oh well, whatever!"

Seeing the big fox's sullen expression, Wang Yan couldn't help but find it amusing; his own wife was definitely the cutest.

Days passed by, and while it was freezing cold outside, the cave was warm as spring. Sometimes, you could even hear the howling wind from outside, but it didn't bother the little beast girl's family. Instead, it added a layer of security to the place.

Finally, the coldest days have passed, and winter is coming to an end. According to Zhuohua's calculations, there are only three days left before winter is over.

"Hmm... are there still three days left?"

Listening to Zhuohua's scheme, Wang Yan pondered for a moment. After thinking it over, he decided to celebrate the New Year with the little beast girls. There was only one such day in a year, a day to celebrate that he had lived another year. There was no better day than this.

When Wang Yan shared his thoughts, it immediately drew confusion from the group of little beast girls. New Year? What's that?

Even the well-informed Zhuohua had never heard of such a saying, and asked Wang Yan:

"Wang Yan, what exactly is this 'New Year' you're talking about?"

Seeing the curious looks on the whole family's faces, Wang Yan cleared his throat with a smug look on his face and replied:

"It's about the whole family gathering around the table, with lots of delicious food on it, chatting and eating together, celebrating all the hard work of the past year—the most important day of the year!"
