Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wuli met the man's deep eyes and was momentarily speechless.

The shameful images from earlier kept replaying in her mind, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Because she was in the bath, she could only cling to him desperately. The water in the bath was very deep, otherwise she would always feel like she was going to drown in the pool.

However, the more she clung to him, the more...

Even if she refuses, it seems that she has no control over any of this from beginning to end.

"Does it still hurt?"

Just as she was about to resign herself to her fate, the man suddenly opened his mouth and asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli glanced at him and then tried to move her legs.

Finding that the pain had indeed eased considerably, she looked at Yu Chen with a surprised expression.

Although it had eased up a bit earlier, I didn't expect the medicine to take effect so quickly.

Even modern medicines don't work that quickly.

Thus, Su Wuli couldn't help but recall that she had just complained of wrist pain, but he thought of other possibilities.

Indeed, it wouldn't hurt so much if the ointment was applied.

She met the expectant gaze and shook her head. "It doesn't hurt anymore..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and turned his back to her. "You'll need to apply the medicine later too."

"Hmm..." Su Wuli responded.

Then I saw him walk away, I don't know where he went.

Gradually, exhaustion quickly overwhelmed her.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already in her own bed, still naked under the covers.

The nightgown was left in the bathtub.

She lay there for a while, letting her consciousness slowly return.

My body gradually awoke, and the expected soreness and fatigue spread from my waist to my legs.

It just doesn't hurt anymore.

She paused for a moment, then slowly bent her knees.

It's not an illusion.

She propped herself up with her hands, took some clothes from the closet, and went to the bathroom.

Standing in front of the mirror, you can still see the marks left on your body.

The only difference is that there are no new wounds from the previous bite.

As the warm water flowed from the showerhead and washed over her skin, Su Wuli suddenly remembered Yu Chen's instructions not to get her skin wet.

I glanced around the bathroom subconsciously, feeling like he might have seen me.

When the water washed over my body, the expected stinging pain did not come.

This... left her with mixed feelings, but she didn't want to think about it anymore.

After washing herself clean, she gently dried her body with a soft towel.

As I walked out of the bathroom and to the bedside, my gaze fell on the bedside table.

The small jade-colored bottle stood quietly.

After standing there for a moment, I finally reached out and picked it up, uncorked it, and the smell of medicine filled the air.

She carefully scooped out a little ointment with her fingertip, then sat down on the edge of the bed.

This position gave her a familiar sense of shame, but she couldn't apply the medicine without it.

She lowered her eyes and looked carefully.

The cool cream touches the skin, causing a slight tingling sensation.

Su Wuli applied the ointment very gently and slowly, trying to cover it as evenly as possible.

My fingertips are my own, slightly cool.

However, just as her fingertips traced the surface, without warning, another vivid tactile memory crashed in.

The joints are more defined, and the nails are neatly trimmed.

She applied it with more force than she would when she applied it herself, pressing, smearing, and stroking it.

The owner of that hand seemed to have a higher body temperature; even through the coolness of the ointment, one could feel the burning heat of the fingertips themselves.

Su Wuli's hand suddenly stopped, her fingertips stiffened, burned by the sudden touch of that memory.

Why did she think of this?

He hurriedly withdrew his hand, clenching his fingertips, still covered in ointment, into a fist.

But those memories just wouldn't go away.

Just then, the cell phone next to the bed rang.

She took a tissue and wiped the ointment off her hands, then picked up her phone.

I saw the caller ID and clicked to connect.

A cheerful voice came from the other end of the line, "Kiri, wanna go shopping?"

Hearing this, Su Wuli smiled despite her aching body, "Now?"

"Yes, they've released several new products. I'd like to go check them out."

"But..." Su Wuli glanced at the time.

10:00 AM.

He then asked, "Aren't you afraid of being found out?"

"Oh dear..." came a coquettish voice from the other end, "Celebrities are people too, I'm going to get so bored if I don't go out soon."

She couldn't help but complain, "You have no idea, we were filming in seclusion for three months, I couldn't even see the sky outside."

Su Wuli smiled and said, "That's too much of an exaggeration."

"Exaggeration?" came the wailing voice on the other end of the phone. "To put it bluntly, even people in jail get to go out for fresh air, but we don't."

Since the other party had already gone this far, Su Wuli had no choice but to agree.

Fortunately, the ointment works very quickly, so walking shouldn't be a big problem.

She made all the necessary preparations for her disguise, and even took a birth control pill before going out.

Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, Su Wuli spotted Wen Yan from afar, wearing a mask and a simple T-shirt.

The lights on the top floor of the mall were so bright they were almost blinding.

"Mist Pear." Wen Yan waved to her.

Su Wuli walked over quickly, but noticed that the other person's gaze was fixed on her in a strange way.

"Why are you wearing a turtleneck in the middle of summer?"

Looking into her friend's eyes, Su Wuli answered somewhat guiltily, "I haven't been resting well these past few days, I'm probably going to catch a cold, it's a bit chilly."

Wen Yan then looked away, unable to resist complaining, "The air conditioning in this mall is really too strong. Should I take some medicine?"

"Need not."

Seeing that she didn't ask any further questions, Su Wuli secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the shop.

"Look at that one," Wen Yan said, pointing to a matte gray crocodile skin handbag. "It has a clean cut and will definitely make you look elegant."

Su Wuli turned her head to look at her.

Wen Yan suggested, "Why don't you give it a try? I think it would look great on your back."

Su Wuli smiled and said, "You take a look first, I don't need any more bags."

The two lingered in several shops for nearly two hours.

Wen Yan tried on four bags and seven or eight outfits before finally leaving with her shopping bags, completely satisfied.

Su Wuli stayed by her side the whole time, occasionally offering some advice, but she didn't buy anything for herself.

"My part is done for now." Wen Yan glanced at her phone, then looked at Su Wuli. "What do you want to buy? Come on, I'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli was taken aback, suddenly realizing that she did indeed need to buy some things.

"Let's buy some pajamas," Su Wuli said, leading her around a corner and into a store.

Wen Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Pajamas? You bought them here?"

This store isn't the kind that specializes in pajamas; it's a multi-brand store that sells both pajamas and underwear.

The regions are clearly defined.

One side displays brightly colored and boldly styled romantic or alluring collections.

On the other side are basic styles, mostly made of pure cotton and modal, with conservative designs and full coverage.

Wen Yan's eyes were immediately drawn to the silk nightgowns, and she picked up a green slip dress.

The silk fabric was as smooth as water, the skirt was so short it just covered the hip line, and it had a slit on the side.

"Mist Pear." Her voice was low, tinged with a mischievous laugh, "Wearing this is absolutely amazing, I guarantee it..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the implication in her eyes was clear enough.
