“Your Highness?”
Behind that man, Shadow was speaking anxiously. After all, this was Hidden Spirit Temple, women and men were supposed to he housed separately. Bursting into the courtyard the way Baili Jia Jue’s doing was already breaking the rules.
Shadow was only glad that currently, the sky was dark enough and most people were already asleep, he’s able to settle the few who were awake, otherwise, based on what His Highness was doing, tomorrow, they’d be invited to drink tea with Retired Emperor!
Baili Jia Jue seemed as if he hadn’t heard anything as he waved his spacious sleeves. That wood door then seemed to heed his command and closed once again. Not even the smallest trace of a crack remained.
He then stood that way beside the wooden tub, towering above her as he sized her up. After awhile. “You want to chat with me regarding some matters to follow without any clothes on like that?”
That’s when Wei Wei realized that even though this tub of steaming water was deep and rose petals were scattered on the surface, but it’s not that it’s not clear.
In a flash, a pink cloud soared onto her cheek and spread. Wei Wei grabbed the towel draped at the side and didn’t forget to remind Baili Jia Jue. “Troubling your High Highness to turn your head around.”
Baili Jia Jue looked at that patch of spreading red and in his heart, it seemed as if prickly weeds were growing like mad in his heart, an urge faintly growing. He clasped his fingers tightly, within those dark eyes, an unknown light flashed. He once again unhurriedly sized up Wei Wei, before he got his body to turn around.
Wei Wei swiftly wrapped that towel around her body, and firmly tied a knot. She also didn’t place any clothes by her side. If she wanted to change, she needed to walk pass that man to reach the other side.
Wei Wei thought about it and also didn’t think it’s a big deal. In any case, a towel was already wrapped around her body, so her bare foot straightforwardly stepped on the wooden floor, when she sidestepped Baili Jia Jue, she took a glance at his face. His thick eyelashes closed gently, a dense aura of self-restraint. It seemed a certain Highness didn’t have any intention of taking a glancing at her, she could relax and boldly go get her clothes.
But what she didn’t expect was that, she was just passing him when Baili Jia Jue’s body moved. He probably couldn’t tell with closed eyes from which direction she’d walk by and where to make way, so it instead made her directly bumped into his chest.
An incomparably fresh and clean scent of sandalwood seeped into her breath in a flash, fragrant and precious, extremely typical of him.
Wei Wei frowned as she watched him slowly open his eyes, it’s indeed an inquiring pair of eyes. Also, the shape of his eyes contained a slight implication of teasing and rumination, despite this, his aloof and cold nature was still displayed. “Did you do that on purpose? Purposefully bumped into my chest.”
“Your Highness, you’re really overthinking it.” Wei Wei demonically laughed, and wanted to push him away.
Unfortunately, the strip of cloth tying the towel together landed in the other person’s palm.
That pair of slender hands held literary scrolls within White Academy, beyond White Academy, they held Heaven and Earth, so beautiful that it make a person think of ancient white chinaware displayed in a museum.
This kind of hand was very suitable for holding champagne glasses, but was actually even more suitable for…murder.
But what he’s currently holding was actually the strip of cloth used for tying the towel. This made Wei Wei feel that everything wasn’t so normal. “Your Highness, don’t you think that you should release your hand?” Wei Wei smiled all of a sudden, as her hands crossed in front of her chest. “I don’t believe that Your Highness came in the dark of night just to play with the strip of cloth on my towel, right?”
Baili Jia Jue uttered ‘hm?’ then slowly approached her, on hand rested on her back, his gaze also immediately drifting downwards…
