Yu Zexiao also intentionally let out a laugh, leaned in to kiss her, and at the same time, his hand couldn’t help but roam, wanting to continue feeling her surprising softness.
"Husband, big husband, stop, it’s cold, really cold." Jian Anning immediately dodged, while her fingers clung to her own arm, pleading softly.
Just then, a breeze blew by, and the already dense mist suddenly swept in from the leaky window frames into the water pavilion, chilling Jian Anning so much she immediately shivered.
Seeing her pitiful look, and noticing that her fair skin had indeed developed quite a few tiny particles from the cold, Yu Zexiao felt sorry for her and quickly asked, "Is it really that cold?"
Jian Anning hadn’t answered him when a sneeze responded for her, "Achoo! Achoo!"
She was really going to catch a cold, so Yu Zexiao wouldn’t continue to tease her. Without a word, he immediately picked her up and draped clothes over her, "If you’re cold, put on your clothes quickly, don’t catch a cold."
She nodded her head, indeed feeling a bit frozen, and hurriedly buttoned up her clothes.
Now that it was already the middle of the night, staying on the island was indeed inappropriate. After Jian Anning had put on her clothes, she asked him, "Where are we going after this?"
Yu Zexiao thought for a moment, "How about we go back to the hotel first? We can return to the set early tomorrow morning. We’ll just say I went to a friend’s, like Ling Yichuan or someone."
At this point in time, that was all they could do. Jian Anning nodded her head, and the two of them got dressed, tidied up the place, and slowly descended from the water pavilion.
The staircase was quite cramped, something she hadn’t noticed on the way up. Now, having been intimate with him just before, and as she descended the stairs, she felt so weak and delicate that her legs gave way, nearly causing her to tumble down.
Yu Zexiao was right in front of her with quick reflexes; he immediately steadied her arm and even chuckled, "Are you really that frail? Your legs are trembling after just a few steps!"
However, her trembling legs were obviously a sign, proving his own "manliness"! Yu Zexiao suddenly felt quite proud of himself.
Jian Anning gave him a look, "Stop it!"
But because her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were like pools of spring water, and her lips were slightly swollen from his kisses, she looked thoroughly "bullied" by him. Her complaints at this moment were like coy rebukes, making him feel even more relaxed and content.
"Tired, huh? Let your husband help you!" he said while effortlessly scooping her into his arms.
Jian Anning was startled and let out a sharp scream. This was, after all, descending stairs, and if they were careless, they might both tumble down together—what then?
Yu Zexiao saw her alarmed cry but just chuckled quietly. His eyes shone incredibly bright in the dark staircase, "Hold on to me, and you won’t fall."
Though she was somewhat irritated by his recklessness, she still obediently wrapped her arms around his neck and nestled against him like a bird, quietly leaning into his embrace.
The two didn’t need much communication because they were already in sync. Yu Zexiao, while carefully carrying her, slowly descended from the water pavilion and walked toward the pier, preparing to row away.
However, when they both reached the pier, they suddenly discovered that their boat had disappeared!
