The people in the pool were still asleep without any precautions. Lin Qingyang had just recovered from a serious illness and was already weak. In addition, he drank a lot of wine. After being soaked in the warm pool water, he naturally became tired and fell asleep.
Cang Mo didn't make a sound, walked over lightly, squatted down slowly by the pool, stirred his fingers in the warm water a few times, causing slight ripples, then put it between his nose and sniffed gently, staring straight at the people in the pool.
Lin Qingyang slept unconsciously with his head tilted, his whole body flushed red from the alcohol and heat. His body slid down a few points with the ripples of the water, and the warm water almost covered his mouth and nose.
Cang Mo then jumped into the pool and fished the person up with a splash. Lin Qingyang opened her eyes in a daze while shaking, and met those amber eyes.
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with moisture, and she looked at him in a daze. Cang Mo stared at him and his breathing became a little heavier.
After a while, Lin Qingyang's eyes gradually became clear. His face was stunned, and he thought of something again. He lowered his head and looked at himself. Although he was wearing a pair of underwear, a thin layer of white fabric was no different from not wearing any after soaking in the water.
His face was burning, and he wanted to step back in panic, but his hands and feet were still weak at this moment. As soon as he took a step back, he fell into the pool again. The water in the pool was up to his head, and he choked on several mouthfuls of water.
Cang Mo stepped forward and picked the man up from the water, holding him against him. Lin Qingyang leaned in his arms and coughed several times before breathing again. She felt the other man's hand on his back, patting him gently. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was taking advantage of him or taking advantage.
"I'll put on my clothes first." Lin Qingyang said and wanted to turn around and go to the pool.
But Cang Mo's arms tightened, circling the person and not letting go. Lin Qingyang's heart skipped a beat, and when she looked up, Cang Mo's eyes were dark and scary.
"Cang Mo..." Lin Qingyang's voice was tight.
The next moment, water splashed everywhere, and Cang Mo picked him up without saying a word, strode out of the bath and went straight to the bedroom.
"What are you doing?" Lin Qingyang asked in panic.
The next moment, he fell into the soft bed. His whole body froze, and he subconsciously pulled the quilt to block him. However, his wrist was held down by Cang Mo, and the corner of the quilt that he had barely pulled up was brushed away. Cang Mo's eyes fell down without hesitation, and went down his naked chest.
Lin Qingyang trembled all over, grabbed Cang Mo's hand and shouted sternly, "Cang Mo! Don't be stupid!"
But Cang Mo ignored his warning and still stared directly at his abdomen. Lin Qingyang paused and looked down.
There was a curved scar running across it. Five years later, although the scar had faded a lot, it still looked shocking on the fair skin. It turned out that he was looking at the scar.
Cang Mo stretched out his fingertips and touched the scar lightly, as if he was afraid of hurting him, and his voice was hoarse. "This... was also left at that time?"
The slightly cool fingertips touched the sensitive skin, Lin Qingyang quickly grabbed his hand, smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's already fine, it's just a little ugly."
Cang Mo didn't speak, just stared at that place silently, then stood up, took a set of clean clothes and put them on the bedside, then turned and walked out.
After Cang Mo walked away, Lin Qingyang scratched her hair in annoyance. What on earth was she nervous about? She was about to get married, how could she still have any thoughts about herself? It must have been a fever that burned out her brain.
Lin Qingyang let out a deep breath. Just as her tense nerves relaxed and she was about to get dressed, Cang Mo's figure suddenly appeared behind the screen again.
Lin Qingyang was startled, grabbed the quilt and wrapped herself into a silkworm chrysalis.
"I forgot to bring you pants." Cang Mo put a pair of trousers on the end of the bed with a normal expression.
"... Thank you." Lin Qingyang forced out a dry smile.
After Cang Mo left, Lin Qingyang shrank into the quilt in embarrassment. After a while, she slowly put on her clothes and went out.
Outside, dinner is already set on the table.
"Come out, let's eat." Cang Mo said gently, his face as usual, "You said you wanted to eat braised fish yesterday, try it."
Lin Qingyang pulled out a chair and sat down. He accidentally went to the kitchen at the back of the palace a few days ago, and found out that the meals he ate during this period were all cooked by Cang Mo himself. He was a little embarrassed at first, but Cang Mo said that even the demon clan couldn't cook, and if they didn't eat what he cooked, they would have to eat raw like other demon clans, so Lin Qingyang had no choice but to follow him.
"Don't take a bath alone after drinking. It's very dangerous." Cang Mo said, putting the fish meat with the bones on Lin Qingyang's plate.
Lin Qingyang ate the fish and nodded. "I know, I just found out that you have such a big bath here, and I couldn't help but want to try it. You kid really knows how to enjoy it."
Cang Mo raised his eyes and looked at him. "If you like, you can always live here."
Lin Qingyang paused and looked at him in surprise. Cang Mo had no expression on his face and couldn't tell whether he was joking or not.
"How can that be done? If I don't go back, those people in Fusheng Pavilion will be in trouble." Lin Qingyang laughed and said, but she was speechless for a while. What nonsense is this kid talking about? They are about to get married, and they let themselves live here. Will they sleep between them then?
Lin Qingyang murmured in her heart, but when Cang Mo didn't say anything else, she just thought he was being polite.
"I want to go to Baoyue Pavilion tomorrow. It's rare to come to Demon Emperor City, so I just want to check the accounts and see how Baoyue Pavilion is doing here." Lin Qingyang said.
Cang Mo raised his eyes and looked at him. Before he could speak, he heard him say again, "You don't have to worry about me, I can just go by myself."
"I asked Yinyu and the others to follow you." Cang Mo said calmly.
Lin Qingyang frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied. "Why are you really treating me as a prisoner? Let a bunch of people stare at me all day long."
"As a human being, you will always have some inconvenience when walking in Demon Emperor City. They can avoid a lot of trouble by accompanying you." Cang Mo explained patiently.
What he said was reasonable and well-founded, and Lin Qingyang had nothing to say for a moment, and if he insisted on not allowing them to follow, it would actually look like he had something in his heart.
"Okay." Lin Qingyang said helplessly.
Cang Mo curled his lips slightly and served him another bowl of soup. "Drink more, it will be good for your health."
Lin Qingyang drank, but her expression was a little complicated. Except for the moment when they first met again, Cang Mo was gentle and polite at other times, and she was even more considerate to him, but she always felt like she couldn't see through him.
