"I-I know."
Shui Bing'er nodded hesitantly.
She knew perfectly well that Ye Qiu would not force her sisters to do anything.
The problem was...
If Ye Qiu did not take the initiative to force her, then she would have to take the initiative herself.
But she had just seen it.
Ye Qiu was far, far too formidable—so formidable that Shui Bing'er trembled all over.
She did not dare sit on him lightly.
Ye Qiu looked at Shui Bing'er's shy appearance. He understood a little, yet was also somewhat confused.
Opening his arms,
Ye Qiu gently wrapped them around Shui Bing'er's slightly trembling, warm, soft body.
Shui Bing'er pursed her red lips and lowered her head.
Following Ye Qiu's pull, she slowly nestled into his embrace.
"Bing'er, there shouldn't be any problem with a hug, right?"
Ye Qiu smiled as he gently stroked Shui Bing'er's ice-blue hair, breathing in its faint, elegant fragrance as he softly reassured her.
"Mm~"
Shui Bing'er nervously clutched Ye Qiu's clothes, breathing neither too fast nor too slowly as she steadied her heartbeat.
Ye Qiu's embrace was warm, and his heartbeat was strong.
Shen Liuyu's little head suddenly poked in through the doorway.

Ye Qiu definitely had not cooled down yet.
She had better go help Hai Rou scrub her back first, lest Hai Rou end up lying on the bed for Ye Qiu to admire as well.

Shui Yue'er had the same thought. She caught Xue Wu's hand when Xue Wu tried to get up.
She lay quietly on the bed.
That way, Shui Bing'er would not have to endure their watching.
Xue Wu
