Did the Seventh Prince attend court today?

Even after being carried into the bathtub and soaking in the comfortably warm water, the deer still hadn't quite grasped the situation.

Not only him, but the Pixiu's brain also went blank.

Who would have thought that Cang Shuyue stripped people naked just to take a bath!

The man and the beast stared at each other for a long time, then the Pixiu suddenly sprang up, slamming its fist on the water and roaring: "I took my clothes off and this is what you show me?! This is all you show me?! Cang Shuyue, are you impotent?!"

A deer wiped the water droplets splashed on its face, opened its mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Saying I'm disappointed isn't quite accurate, but saying I'm not disappointed seems a bit like it either.

In short, I have very mixed feelings.

He slid down and into the water, muttering in a low voice, "You think everyone is as full of nonsense as you? Our brother-in-law is a gentleman, he wouldn't do anything reckless. He respects me and cares for me."

It's unclear who the last sentence was addressed to.

The misty air concealed the sadness in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the Pixiu scoffed.

[Don't act like you're so noble. Was it me, the one who was shouting "No!" while staring at Cang Shuyue's abs and swallowing hard?]

Unfazed by being exposed, Lu Zhenzhi retorted confidently, "Anyway, I'm not as vulgar as you. And what's this about 'getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later' nonsense? You think so badly of Cang Shuyue; you're just judging a gentleman by your own petty standards. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Why should a beast be ashamed? Beasts aren't human." The Pixiu spread its claws, speaking with righteous indignation: "Aren't you the same? You thought Cang Shuyue was going to force himself on you, and you talked nonsense in your panic, even saying you liked him. You're the one who should be ashamed."

"Shut up!" A deer, enraged, scooped up water and splashed it on the animal.

Not to be outdone, the Pixiu retaliated by splashing water back, and the two of them began a water fight in the bathtub, splashing water everywhere, until the sound of the door opening rang out.

Cang Shuyue, who went to get clothes for Youlu, has returned.

In desperation, Youlu shoved the Pixiu into the water and whispered, "Ceasefire! Ceasefire!"

Pixiu: [Gurgle gurgle gurgle!]

Help! A murderous beast has been discovered!

There was only one bathrobe belonging to Cang Shuyue on the screen. With no other choice, Lu hurriedly tore it off, put it on, quickly tied the belt, and came out from behind the screen. After thinking for a moment, she went back and wiped the water splashed on the screen.

When Cang Shuyue came in carrying the trunk, he was already standing obediently in front of the screen, smiling innocently.

Cang Shuyue paused slightly, his breath becoming hot.

Baby... is wearing his bathrobe.

Because it didn't fit properly, the large black bathrobe hung loosely on the boy's body. Although the belt was tied tightly, the wide collar was still slightly open, revealing a slender and delicate collarbone. The graceful curve held the candlelight, and against the black background, it appeared even more white and jade-like.

His skin, flushed from the heat, had a faint pinkish hue, and his delicate brows and eyes held a hint of moisture. His soft, dark hair cascaded down, making the boy look both obedient and gentle.

What a beautiful picture of a lotus emerging from the water.

Cang Shuyue stared at him, his Adam's apple bobbing unconsciously. He put down the box, reached out and pulled her into his arms, his large hand holding her slender waist. He leaned down and gently nuzzled her delicate neck, his voice hoarse as he said, "Baby smells so good."

Youlu was in a hurry to find some clothes to wear, so she casually replied, "Maybe the bath powder smells better today."

He tried to open the chest, but Cang Shuyue picked him up and placed him on the bed.

"What are you doing? I need to change my clothes! Your clothes are too big, I can't wear them!" You Lu tried to get up, but he held her down with one hand. As she struggled, her collar slipped down, revealing her rounded shoulders and a patch of white chest.

Cang Shuyue's eyes darkened slightly, a thick, unyielding mist gathering in their depths. He raised his hand to pull up his slipping collar and said softly, "Dry your hair before changing into your nightgown, so it doesn't get wet."

As he spoke, he took out a clean handkerchief, wrapped it around the deer-like hair that was still dripping wet, and gently pressed it repeatedly until the hair was half dry.

Then he squatted down, took off the soft shoes with deer feet, took out a handkerchief, and wiped his feet, which were still not completely dry, on the soft cushion. He then carefully wiped them with the handkerchief, not even missing the spaces between his toes.

The deer felt itchy and kicked his hand restlessly. He grabbed its ankle and tickled the soles of its feet a couple of times before it calmed down.

Cang Shuyue placed her dried feet on her knees and then picked up her other foot.

Looking at his lowered eyes, Youlu pressed down the corners of her mouth, her heart pounding.

The Pixiu, having drunk a couple of mouthfuls of bathwater, complained, "Why didn't he dry your hair after wiping your feet?"

You think everyone is as unhygienic as you?

[He's taking advantage of you, and you're even defending him!] Pixiu jumped up and down in dissatisfaction.

Where is it...?

Just as he was about to defend Cang Shuyue, his rough fingertips slowly and heavily rubbed across her ankle, then gently stroked and massaged the instep, the ambiguous movements causing her skin to tremble.

You Lu suddenly looked up and bumped right into a pair of eyes that seemed to want to devour him. Startled, he shuddered again and quickly pulled his foot back, chuckling dryly, "It's hot, no need to dry it so much."

A hint of regret flashed across Cang Shuyue's eyes. Without a word, he got up, carried the trunk to the bedside, and took out clean nightgown and underpants, handing them to him.

After taking the clothes, Youlu slipped on her shoes and ran behind the screen to change.

Pixiu followed in, a twitch at the corner of its mouth, and clicked its tongue, saying, "Why do I get the feeling that Cang Shuyue is a bit of a pervert?"

You Lu didn't say anything, but he felt the same way.

How should I put it? It's kind of exciting.

After Youlu finished changing his clothes and came out, Cang Shuyue had a servant come in to bring in fresh hot water, and then he went behind the screen to take a bath. When he came out again, he was wearing the bathrobe that Youlu had taken off.

brave troops:【……】

Youlu: "..."

What to do? Even he himself wants to take it.

Pixiu's comment: [Your Cang Shuyue's ingredients are a bit complicated.]

Youlu: [Get lost.]

It was late at night. After tidying up, the two turned off the lights and went to bed.

Originally, Lu wanted to go back to her room, but she couldn't outmaneuver the tall and strong Cang Shuyue, so she had no choice but to stay "reluctantly".

The cool moonlight shone through the window and onto the floor. You Lu lay on his side on the bed, with Cang Shuyue embracing him from behind. The lights had been off for almost half an hour, but he was still not asleep.

It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep, but rather—

Hot breath sprayed on his neck and behind his ears, strong arms tightly hugged his waist and abdomen, and hot hands roamed and caressed his shoulders and waist through his thin nightgown. The chest behind him was so hot that he was covered in a fine sweat. How could he sleep like this!

The Pixiu, perched on the bedside table, chuckled to itself: "This is all the beast deserves!"

Unable to sleep herself, Youlu decided to go all out and pulled Cang Shuyue up as well, smiling kindly, "I can't sleep either, let's chat."

It's a good time to make everything clear.

"What does baby want to talk about?" In the darkness, Cang Shuyue's eyes were deep as she held him against the headboard, her nose gently brushing against his hair.

Yu Lu coughed awkwardly twice. "You know, about that thing—my feelings for you—what do you think?"

Since the words have already been spoken, there's nothing to be ashamed of admitting.

After all this commotion today, he has realized that Cang Shuyue is special to him, and that's enough.

Cang Shuyue kissed the corner of his eye and smiled, "I've known about your feelings for a long time, but you've been too afraid to express them because of your status."

She lowered her head and nuzzled his cheek, saying happily, "Baby, I'm so happy that you finally expressed your feelings today."

"..." Youlu was so confused by the prank.

He asked the Pixiu in his heart: "How come I didn't know I liked him all along?"

Pixiu: [I don't know either.]

Cang Shuyue suddenly frowned, his gaze filled with inquiry.

Youlu blinked innocently, thought for a moment, and asked again, "Didn't you say you had a way? What way can we get Father and the others to stop opposing us being together?"

Cang Shuyue paused for a moment, then tightened her grip on his arm and said in a deep voice, "If Xiao Yan is sensible enough to help my sister ascend the throne, we can reluctantly allow him to become her male concubine. In that case, who would dare to object?"

"Cough cough cough—"

[Pfft—cough cough cough—]

A deer and a Pixiu were both choked by their own saliva.
