260: Chapter 132: Undercurrents_3 260: Chapter 132: Undercurrents_3 “This little girl isn’t as naive and easy to deceive as before.”
He had thought he could shyly coax her into asking him to bathe with her.
But after being teased by him numerous times, the girl had learned to be wary.
Leon turned awkwardly and went back to the door, looking at the girl who was about to close it, his eyes feigning a pitiful expression, “It’s a rare chance, can’t we bathe together?”
“You were supposed to go to the hall, weren’t you?
Go on—off you go,” Olivia urged in a soft voice, her small hand waving him away.
“I’ve thought it over, and it would be so impolite to bump into someone else, I’ll pass,” Leon said, scratching his head with a sheepish smile.
How could he possibly bathe in a public place?
It was one thing when they were forced to make do beside a river while on the run, but if conditions allowed, he certainly didn’t want to be an exhibitionist.
Leon brazenly tried to enter, but the next moment, Olivia’s door blocked him out: “Ah, come on, let’s bathe together, look at me, I’m tired too.
Heating another big tub of water is a hassle, if we wash up quickly we can go to sleep earlier.”
He didn’t dare to push hard, or rather, even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to push past the girl.
“You bad egg, you definitely want more than just to bathe, taking the chance to bully me again—I don’t trust you, go heat the water, wait for me to finish before you come in…” The girl’s muffled voice came from inside after she closed the door.
Leon could only obediently turn around, leaning against the wall, reluctantly waiting.
But it wasn’t long before a look of resignation spread across his face.
If he couldn’t bathe together, then enjoying the leftover water from his lover’s bath wasn’t bad either.
As for heating another tub of water?
Of course, he wasn’t a pervert.
In those times, heating a big tub of hot water for a bath was a luxurious indulgence.
If a family seldom used expensive fuel like that, they would definitely queue up to use the same tub of hot water for their baths—one after another.
It was perfectly normal.
He was just being economical!
To drink a toast to you first, bottoms up!
Amused by his own wicked humor, Leon held his cheek and hummed a couple of times.
The pressure from the aftermath of battle eased quite a bit in his self-entertaining heart.
Inside, the girl unbuttoning her clothes perked up her ears, not hearing the sound of her lover walking away.
Instead, she heard him settle down by the wall, and she couldn’t help but soften her heart again.
After a moment of hesitation, she sighed, turned to the door, and spoke out, “It’s just bathing together—no bullying allowed!”
Hearing that sweet voice behind him, Leon’s face instantly brightened.
He slapped his cheeks, turned around with a grave expression, and looked toward the girl who had cracked the door open a bit.
Olivia, your fiancé is the most upright knight who respects women in this world!” Leon shamelessly retorted.
The girl rolled her eyes, her green pupils full of suspicion.
She didn’t deny that her lover was indeed an upright knight who made her proud…
But when it came to bullying girls, ever since they became a couple, this bad egg had been revealing his true nature more and more.
After the girl’s door was shut again.
The ripples in the water stirred the imagination.
“That’s too much to ask of a person…” The man’s smug, naughty laughter came through.
The battle of affection began.
But the situation was declared a lopsided victory for Leon, almost immediately.
“~You should have warned me this time, you bad egg~…”
The girl who invited the wolf into her room reaped what she sowed.
But Suan Ni biting the peach, in the end, savored the sweet dew…
…In Wolf Territory, outside the temporary military camp in Aiken Village, the night shrouded a figure as it slipped past the sentinels.
Guided by the dim light of the Moonlight, the figure approached the deep dark forest.
Before her, a hazy shapely silhouette outlined a serpentine body beneath the shadows.
“You’re not doing enough.”
“The chaos isn’t sufficient… neither the Thorny Flower nor the Wolf Pack.”
“So what should I do?
Speak clearly, Bai Shou, I’m not one of your subordinates, and I don’t like playing guessing games with you,” the figure who came for the meeting impatiently said under the swaying shadows of trees.
The beautiful figure before him swayed with her steps, moving slowly forward, the woman poet’s beautiful face emerging in the moonlight.
“Farolis is more restrained than expected, and there’s no word from the Thorny Flower Family’s army; I’ll find out why…
but before that, let’s stir the Wolf Pack into a frenzy…”
