Chapter 33: Mandarin Ducks Playing in the Water (1)
After Minister Sun left her bedchamber, all the maidservants outside were urgently sent away to the country estate overnight. Thus, no one dared to come in and disturb the exhausted Sun Jiaojiao.
When Xiao Er, having received his punishment, pushed open the door, forcing himself to endure the whip wounds on his back, Sun Jiaojiao thought it was her personal maidservant, Yu'er. Without even opening her eyes, she grumbled, "Where did everyone go? Don't you even know to prepare hot water? Hurry up, this Young Miss wants to soak in a hot bath."
However, she didn't hear a female voice answer. Instead, she heard that all-too-familiar voice.
It sounded like crying, but not quite crying.
Sun Jiaojiao's eyes flew open in shock. She looked down from the bed and saw Xiao Er kneeling before her. His head was bowed, his fists were clenched tightly. He was filled with guilt and heartache. Although she couldn't see his expression, Sun Jiaojiao could clearly feel the torment and self-blame in his heart.
"Are you in mourning? It's not like this Young Miss died..." Sun Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him, speechless, thinking to herself that this guy's mental fortitude was really too poor.
In life, nothing is a big deal except death.
As long as you're still alive, the tides will turn. Sooner or later, you'll make a comeback.
Today, she was bullied by His Highness the Crown Prince. Who knew, maybe one day she would make a comeback and pin that arrogant Crown Prince to the ground and rub his face in it?
"Young Miss... I..."
Martial artists usually spent their days in dry, tasteless training. They were men of few words, clumsy with speech. His heart was full, but he didn't know where to begin.
When she needed protection the most, he hadn't been by her side...
Xiao Er's heart ached.
Sun Jiaojiao hated hearing sad words the most. She deliberately changed the subject. "That little wench Yu'er, who knows where she's run off to. Go fetch some bath water for me."
The smell of sex in the room was a bit heavy. Xiao Er felt uncomfortable staying inside.
Smelling this, he couldn't help but picture Sun Jiaojiao's wanton cries, one wave rising above the next.
Xiao Er received the order and was about to turn and fetch the bath water, but he turned back, his heart aching. "If Young Miss wants to bathe, perhaps it would be better to soak in the hot spring. It is better for the body."
Hot springs were popular in the Tang Dynasty. In modern terms, they were natural hot springs.
The Huaqing Pool that Yang Guifei soaked in was world-famous.
The benefits of hot springs were many. A soak could not only whiten the skin and relieve fatigue, but some hot springs were also rich in various minerals, which were good for one's health.
Xiao Er's suggestion that Sun Jiaojiao go to the hot spring was without any selfish intent. It was purely for her health. When he thought of how that man in black had forcibly sullied the Young Miss's innocence, he just...
When Sun Jiaojiao heard the words "hot spring," her eyes instantly lit up. She immediately nodded in agreement.
Oh... Those Japanese porn videos, so many of them were filmed in hot springs! Things like 'hot spring pervert,' 'night of lust'... Aiya, aiya... Can't think about it too deeply.
A man and a woman, alone, stripped naked and soaking in the water... if nothing happened while they soaked, it would be a complete waste of the perfect timing, location, and company.
Sun Jiaojiao blinked, showing an infinitely shy weakness. "This Young Miss's legs are weak. Xiao Er, you carry me there."
