Xi Yan frowned and asked, "Why?"
"For no reason!" How could he be so embarrassed as to see a ghost in a horror movie with a female ghost's hair emerging from the bathtub, scaring him so much that he dared not take a bath?
Seeing him shaking his head in resistance, Xi Yan stepped forward and grabbed his arm without saying a word.
Don't be petty.
I didn't use it!
"Come on, I'll wash you."
Bai Le turned around abruptly in fright. "Huh?!"
Author's Note: Bai Le: Damn it, how dare this man be so audacious!
Xi Yan: Turned around, not finished washing yet.
Bai Le:... Oh, thank you to all the little angels who voted for me or watered my plants with nutrient solution between 2020-03-02 21:29:59 and 2020-03-03 21:58:02!

Chapter 34
The bathroom was filled with steam, and the mist slowly spread across the mirror, blurring the two figures reflected in it.
Bai Le sat in the bathtub with his head hunched over like a quail, looking helpless, pitiful, and weak.
Xi Yan held the showerhead and rinsed his hair with very gentle and patient movements. Her fingers inadvertently brushed against his ear, and the smooth skin was covered with foam, making Bai Le feel a little itchy.
Xi Yan noticed this, frowned slightly, and then took a clean towel to gently wipe his ears.
Is it still itchy?
Bai Le shook his head, so ashamed he wanted to bury half his face in the water.
How could Xi Yan remain so composed? He felt incredibly embarrassed.
"Look up."
After cleaning his hair, Xi Yan reached out and gently lifted Bai Le's chin, speaking softly.
Before Bai Le could react, he was forced to raise his head and meet Xi Yan's dark eyes.
He stared at Bai Le for a long while, then, as if sensing something, a slight smile curved his lips. He reached out and touched Bai Le's cheek, saying slowly, "Are you blushing?"
Bai Le silently lowered half his face and gurgled out a few bubbles.
Seeing that Xi Yan was still staring at him, he reluctantly surfaced again, "This is from Xun."
He felt that Xi Yan's attitude towards him was becoming increasingly unpredictable. At first, he thought it was because of the child in his belly, but now he couldn't help but have an absurd thought. Although he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't help but think about that aspect.
Xi Yan didn't rush to refute his answer. His hand felt the delicate skin, and it was inexplicably hot.
He said with a half-smile, "Really? No wonder I said it was so hot."
Bai Le touched his face, then turned away somewhat awkwardly. "Haha, yeah, it's quite hot."
Xi Yan calmly withdrew his hand, tested the water temperature in the bathtub, and, noticing it had cooled down, said in a low voice, "I'll go get a towel. Wait for me."
"Are you done washing?" Bai Le, somewhat confused.
Xi Yan, "Do you still want to wait for me?"
Bai Le's face flushed red. "Of... of course not."
"Wait for me." Xi Yan patted his head again before turning to leave.
The bathroom was very warm, and a thin layer of sweat had appeared on his forehead. He was feeling drowsy from soaking in the water and couldn't wait for it to end.
Moreover, he felt something was off about the way Xi Yan looked at him, which instinctively made him feel a sense of danger, and it inexplicably overlapped with the gaze he had received that night in his memory.
A few minutes later, Xi Yan took a bath towel and went back into the bathroom. He helped Bai Le stand up and then gently dried his body with the soft, dry bath towel.
Bai Le stared at Xi Yan's focused profile, his little face scrunched up, wondering what he was thinking.
Xi Yan noticed this too, so he asked directly, "What are you thinking about?"
Bai Le paused for a moment, then said cautiously, "Are you sure you want me to say it?"
Xi Yan nodded.
Bai Le said, "I was wondering when you became such a scoundrel."
"Rogue?" Xi Yan frowned slightly and repeated the word he had never heard used to describe him before.
Bai Le quickly added, "Don't be angry, you told me to say it."
Xi Yan smiled slightly, "I'm not angry."
He dried his hair with a towel and then helped Bai Le put on his pajamas.
Seeing that he was even going to take care of this, Bai Le felt a little uncomfortable and declined, saying, "No need, I can do this myself."
He felt like a doll, completely at Xi Yan's mercy; to be more precise, Xi Yan was treating him like a helpless child.
Xi Yan didn't object to what he said, handed him the pajamas, and then went out.
I'll wait for you outside.
Bai Le quickly dressed. Looking at himself in the mirror, he pinched his cheeks and noticed that his face had become rounder recently. More importantly, his belly was getting bigger and bigger; he was already over six months pregnant.
The thought of meeting this little life in about four months filled him with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. He wondered who the baby would look like, and hoped the baby would be as handsome as him.
When Bai Le finished tidying up and entered the bedroom, he saw Xi Yan sitting on the edge of the bed testing a hair dryer. After looking up at him, he said indifferently, "Come here."
Bai Le obediently walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.
Xi Yan raised his hand to test the hairdryer, frowned slightly; the position was a bit awkward. So he said, "Lie down."
Bai Le was stunned for a moment. "Huh?"
Xi Yan patiently repeated, "Lie down on my lap."
Bai Le had no choice but to lie face down on his lap, his hands crossed over his lower abdomen, his body stiff as a mummy.
