Su Yan showing up caught Ling Ling off guard. She had wanted to forget him—but now they were living together, and seeing his good-looking face every day... could she really do it?
"What's wrong? Why are you staring at ?" Su Yan asked, confused.
After their last eting, Ling Ling realized she couldn’t avoid him anymore. She stopped hiding—but now she just kept staring.
"N-nothing," she said quickly, her face looking annoyed.
Am I really this shallow? she thought. I know what kind of person he really is, but I’m still getting pulled in by his looks?
His skin looked so soft and smooth. His lips were pink and moved slightly, making her want to kiss him.
Just looking at him made her face turn red. Her heart raced, and she almost lost control, but—
"No way!" she told herself, holding her chest.
She couldn’t fall for soone like him. If she gave in, he would definitely hurt her later.
She forced down her feelings and felt her disgust grow.
This guy pretends to be pure but is worse than anyone!
Her anger built up. She snapped, "Stay if you want, but don’t wander around. The city isn’t safe lately."
She had seen so Hehuan Sect disciples around lately. She didn’t want any trouble because of him.
"Thanks for worrying about ," Su Yan said, looking touched.
Ling Ling stayed silent. In her eyes, everything he did was fake.
Those kind, innocent eyes? Just acting.
Keep pretending, she thought. I’ll just watch and see how fake you are.
Su Yan didn’t mind her silence. "I’m tired—going to rest. You go do your thing."
After so many days outside, he was happy to finally have a real roof over his head. He wanted a soft bed—and first, a good bath.
"I haven’t washed in days. I feel gross," he said.
On the way here, he had seen streams and springs, but he didn’t dare bathe in the open. This world was dangerous—
If a woman saw him bathing... it could cause trouble.
He liked looking at girls too, sure, but he wasn’t the type to ss around without feelings. Love mattered more than just the body.
"Hm," Ling Ling nodded and left.
Su Yan went to his room and told a servant to prepare hot water.
anwhile, Ling Ling rembered she forgot sothing and walked back toward his room.
When she got there, she froze.
Inside, a big bathtub was steaming, mist rising everywhere.
Bathing? In the dayti? she thought.
Just then, Su Yan ca out holding so fresh clothes and saw her.
"Senior Sister, you’re back? Sothing wrong?" he asked.
He walked over to the tub and checked the water.
Suddenly, it all made sense to Ling Ling.
Dayti bath? He's trying to seduce !
He must have noticed her cold attitude and now was using his body to try to win her over again.
Hmph!
Not gonna work!
Wearing her tinted glasses, she forgot she had co back without warning. No way he planned this.
"I've been rushing around for days. I'm sweaty, sticky, and feel gross. I just want to take a bath and relax," he said.
He handed her so clothes.
"I found these in the room. They’re too big. Can you grab one my size? You know it. Thanks."
Her face burned.
He’s definitely trying to seduce —making run errands for him!
Biting her lip, she said coldly, "Your size? How would I know?"
"Huh? You don’t? You gave lots of clothes before," he said, blinking in confusion.
She froze.
Back when she liked him blindly, she had spoiled him. But now he dared to boss her around? Dream on!
"Please, good Senior Sister," he said, tired and hoping she would help.
"You..."
She really wanted to throw the clothes at him.
What am I, his servant?
Her heart scread to refuse, but she couldn’t say no. She held the clothes tightly.
Why am I so pathetic? I can’t stand seeing him disappointed!
She shut her eyes and cursed herself inside.
This is the last ti. I an it!
Telling herself that, she sighed and left to get the right clothes.
Splash.
She heard water moving. He was already enjoying his bath.
Afterward, he put on clean clothes as night ca.
"Now, ti to see Third Senior Sister," he said, stepping out of his room.
When he reached her place, she frowned.
"You again?"
"Can’t I visit? You’re my Senior Sister. We used to be close. Why are you so cold now?" he asked.
She said flatly, "Close? Maybe before. Now, I’m focused on my sword. n just get in the way."
His eyes widened. Had she really changed so much?
"You could say that," she replied.
He blinked, unsure if she ant it—but sohow, it made his chest ache a little.
