"Enough messing around. The hot water's ready, I'll carry you over." Ignoring Qingqing's response, Ye Xiaofeng pulled back the covers, scooped her up in a bridal carry, and carried her over, gently lowering her into the water.
"Alright, you can leave now. I'll wash myself." Qingqing promptly showed him the door.
"Qingqing, that's not right. You toss your boyfriend aside after using him? What am I, disposable?" Ye Xiaofeng lightly flicked Qingqing's forehead.
"You only figured that out now? Too late." Qingqing mischievously stuck out her tongue.
"Qingqing, how boring is it to bathe alone? I'll help you wash." Ye Xiaofeng shamelessly said this before climbing into the bathtub himself.
"Ah! You big pervert, get out!" Qingqing hurriedly splashed Ye Xiaofeng with bathwater, but to him, that gesture was nothing but naked temptation.
"Ah, my eye!" Just as Ye Xiaofeng was about to move over and hug Qingqing, she punched him in the left eye.
Ye Xiaofeng immediately sat down in the tub in pain, covering his eye with one hand. All the passion from before vanished in an instant.
"Xiaofeng, are you alright?" Seeing Ye Xiaofeng covering his eye, Qingqing cautiously asked.
"It hurts so much, ah!" Hearing Qingqing's concern, Ye Xiaofeng deliberately cried out. It hurt, but it wasn't nearly that serious.
"Xiaofeng, I-I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to. Just now... I don't know what happened either. I suddenly couldn't control my emotions." Qingqing's eyes reddened as she spoke, tears nearly spilling out.
"It's fine. I was just trying to scare you." Not wanting Qingqing to feel upset, Ye Xiaofeng endured the pain and looked at her with a smile.
"Ye Xiaofeng, you big lecher! You dared to deceive me!" Hearing Ye Xiaofeng's words, Qingqing felt as if she had been tricked. Angrily raising her fist again, she punched him in the right eye.
"You little vixen, are you trying to blind me so you can bully me? Is that it?" The pain in Ye Xiaofeng's left eye had not yet faded when his right eye took another punch.
"Now you know how formidable I am, right? Let's see if you dare deceive me again. Oh, and you can't bully me either. If you deceive me once, I'll punch your left eye once. If you bully me once, I'll punch your right eye once." Qingqing warned Ye Xiaofeng with complete righteousness.
"You..." Ye Xiaofeng was so angry he could have spat blood. How had he ended up provoking such a female demon?
"Ah..." Ye Xiaofeng wanted to speak, but both eyes hurt too much for him to say anything.
"Hey, stop pretending. If you keep it up, my fist is ready." As Qingqing spoke, she held up her fist for Ye Xiaofeng to see. He was in too much pain to dare say a word.
"Then keep pretending. I regret not hitting you harder. Next time, I'll make sure to blind both your eyes." Qingqing pouted, looking as though she regretted it terribly.
"You... I never thought you were this vicious. No wonder people say a woman's heart is the most poisonous. They're talking about people like you." Hearing Qingqing's words, Ye Xiaofeng immediately snapped back.
"Hmph, you only figured that out now? Too late. If you're not washing, I'll wash by myself. I can't be bothered with you." Qingqing completely ignored Ye Xiaofeng, as if he did not exist.
"Hey, give me the clothes we bought yesterday. I need to put them on now." Seeing Ye Xiaofeng still rubbing his eyes, Qingqing was immediately a little unhappy.
Ye Xiaofeng did not dare offend this female demon again. He quickly took them out of the Soul Guiding Device Storage Ring and handed them to her. His eyes hurt so badly that he had no mood to admire Qingqing getting dressed.
After dressing herself up, Qingqing felt more refreshed than she had ever felt before.
"Hey, hurry up. Why are you dawdling around like a woman?" Seeing Ye Xiaofeng still in the bathtub, Qingqing immediately felt that he was getting in her way.
"I'll be done soon. You go downstairs first, I'll be down right away." Ye Xiaofeng hurriedly sent Qingqing away.
Today, Qingqing let her hair hang loose behind her instead of tying it into her usual ponytail. She had changed her whole outfit: high heels, a long-sleeved top that revealed part of her cleavage, a tight skirt, and, of course, a pair of ultra-thin black stockings.
When Qingqing came downstairs, the private room had apparently been cleaned up at some point during the night. The entire room was spotless.
It was now noon, and Qingqing's stomach growled. She directly pressed the service bell, and before long, a waiter came upstairs.
"Where's Shopkeeper Li?" Seeing that the person who came up was not Shopkeeper Li, Qingqing asked.
"The shopkeeper had something to do and went on a long trip. Please enjoy." The waiter placed a wine jug on the table.
"Are you alright? Why is your nose bleeding?" Qingqing pointed it out to the waiter.
"N-no problem. The weather's been hot lately, so I've got a bit too much internal heat." After putting down the wine, the waiter hurriedly ran out. The moment he entered and saw Qingqing, it was as though a goddess had descended, and he could barely hold himself together.
At that moment, Ye Xiaofeng came downstairs fully dressed. His eyes lit up when he saw Qingqing. She had only changed into a different outfit today, so how had she become...
"Xiaofeng, why is your nose bleeding too?" Qingqing was a little puzzled. The waiter might have gotten overheated because of the weather, but Ye Xiaofeng had been in the room the whole time. How had he gotten overheated too?
"My nose is bleeding too? Who else had a nosebleed?" Ye Xiaofeng asked curiously. There were only the two of them in the room.
"Just now, a waiter from the shop came up to deliver wine. His nose started bleeding as soon as he entered the room too." Qingqing told Ye Xiaofeng truthfully.
"Um, Qingqing, how about you put on the clothes from yesterday instead?" Ye Xiaofeng looked at Qingqing before him and could barely hold himself together as well.
"Why? Does this outfit not fit, is it not pretty, or do you not like it?" Qingqing felt as though this outfit had been tailor-made for her, and she was very satisfied with it.
"Qingqing, this outfit fits you, it's pretty, and I like it too. But if you wear it outside, everyone who sees you will get overheated." Ye Xiaofeng coaxed as he explained.
"I don't care. If other people let their eyes wander, they'll end up just like you." Qingqing warned Ye Xiaofeng.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything else. You can wear whatever you like." Hearing Qingqing's words, Ye Xiaofeng's eyes immediately hurt even worse, and he hastily placated her.
A waiter from the shop knocked and came in to start work. He kept his head lowered, not daring to look up, afraid that he would get another nosebleed.
"Where's Shopkeeper Li?" Ye Xiaofeng did not see Shopkeeper Li. Usually, Shopkeeper Li took care of his daily needs.
"Young Master Ye, the shopkeeper... Young Master Ye, what happened to your eyes?" Hearing Ye Xiaofeng's question, the waiter looked up at Qingqing, quickly shifted his gaze away, and hurriedly looked at Ye Xiaofeng instead. It would have been better if he had not looked—this was even more terrifying than getting overheated. Ye Xiaofeng had become a national treasure.
"This... I accidentally fell and got hurt." Ye Xiaofeng hurriedly made up a lie. His eyes still hurt, and when Qingqing heard his nonsense, she nearly burst out laughing.
"Young Master Ye, then you must be more careful in the future. If you're not careful, you might injure somewhere else." The waiter looked at Ye Xiaofeng with concern.
"It's fine, I'll be careful." Why did Ye Xiaofeng feel as though there was something else behind the waiter's words?
"By the way, where's Shopkeeper Li?" The waiter had led Ye Xiaofeng off track and changed the subject.
