“Gu Qingxin, are you a pig or something?! Even the general is smarter than you!” Beiming Han reproachfully poked her forehead with his finger.
“I do pretty well in school… I never wanted to learn swimming in the first place.” Gu Qingxin couldn’t help but to protest quietly.
“What was that! You’re not eating tonight unless you learn it today!”
Beiming Han roughly pulled her over and, with more patience than he’d ever exhibited, explained the fundamentals of swimming.
Half an hour later, Gu Qingxin had learned a tiny bit and could manage to swim a short distance forward but still couldn’t stay afloat.
Approaching midday, Beiming Han finally concluded the swimming lesson.
Xiao Ya, exhausted, dragged herself ashore. Beiming Han wrapped her in a towel and holding her wrist, took her back to the room.
Gu Qingxin intended to sit and rest on the couch for a while, but Beiming Han took her to the bathroom ordered her to “Take a bath!”
She wanted to refuse, but recalling his warning in the morning, she could only resign herself and asked, “Do you want a shower, Sir?”
“Shower!” Beiming Han said, already turning on the shower. Water suddenly fell down, wetting Gu Qingxin as well; she quickly took a step back.
“Help me take off my swimming trunks first!”
“Sir.” Gu Qingxin’s face started to heat up again; he was clearly doing this deliberately to embarrass her.
“Take it off. Don’t make me say it a third time!” impatience coming through in Beiming Han’s voice.
Gu Qingxin knew she could not escape, so she decided to throw caution to the wind, she grabbed the sides of his swim trunks and pulled them down. Although she had decided to be bold, she found that she relatively underestimated herself – she didn’t dare to look up at him.
She knelt down. “Sir, please lift your foot.”
Beiming Han obediently lifted his foot, Gu Qingxin took off his swimming trunks and threw them aside, avoiding looking at him as much as possible. She then took the scrubbing sponge and began to wash his body.
Gu Qingxin conscientiously scrubbed every inch of his body…
Beiming Han felt frustrated, it seemed less like he was punishing her, and more like he was punishing himself…
Her soft hands gently stroked his skin, quickly heating his body. Her eyelashes, damp with water, were trembling lightly, each shiver seemed to tease his heart… Her moist lips made him want to devour them…
The small waist of hers, confined in his hands, made Gu Qingxin shiver involuntarily and she looked up at him…
“Fine, let’s wash together.” Beiming Han placed her in the bathtub with him.
Gu Qingxin, clothed in a maid’s uniform, stood at the side, a feast in front of her but she could only watch and not eat while serving Beiming Han.
She felt like there was no one more unfortunate than her in the world, she had already missed breakfast because she woke up late.
She was forced to clean the wolf pen and learn swimming in the morning…
Now she was so hungry that her back and stomach felt stuck together…
“Growl… growl-growl…”
Gu Qingxin’s stomach made a noise that was particularly loud in the quiet environment…
Her cheeks turned red with embarrassment; she put a light hand on her stomach, not knowing what to do.
Steward Luode was about to bring up the house rules. Beiming Han, swept a glance at her and ordered, “Everyone out! Leave Gu Qingxin here to serve.” “Yes!” Steward Luode respectfully bowed and led the rest of the servants away.
Only Beiming Han and Gu Qingxin were left in the dining room. Xiao Ya was looking at him with eager eyes, thinking that he was going to let her eat with him….
