Chapter 24 - Jinjiang first release

Jinjiang First Release

Chen Bao'er stood outside, listening to the sound of dripping water coming from inside the house from time to time, feeling as if he was in a dream.

In his memory, he had never attended school, but strangely enough, since he could remember, he knew about the enlightenment teachings such as the Thousand Character Classic and the Rules for Students. Although he couldn't hold a pen steadily, he could recognize characters. His parents had told him that when he was five or six years old, he had a high fever once, and since then, his childhood memories became very vague, and he couldn't even remember going to the bathroom. Regarding his ability to read, his family was vague and only said that when he was a child, he often went to play near the clan school of the prominent families in the village, perhaps unintentionally learning from the clan school teacher.

In the past, Chen Bao'er had no doubts about this. Since he came to the Yan Yu Lou, he even felt fortunate that he still had this skill from his childhood. During these few months, he would also read books in his spare time. He couldn't claim to be knowledgeable, but at least he understood the concepts of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame.

Now he stood outside the compartment, only a few steps away from Xiao Yan, separated by a folding screen. In the past, he should have avoided suspicion, but now he couldn't help but glance at the white jade folding screen.

Under the candlelight, the white jade folding screen appeared somewhat translucent, with flickering shadows cast upon it, accompanied by the faint spring light, disturbing Chen Bao'er's heart.

That shadow happened to cast upon Xiao Yan's bare shoulder leaning against the edge of the tub. Although it was only a section, it revealed smooth and straight lines. The long hair of the figure was tied up high, and the slender neck would sometimes rise and sometimes droop, accompanied by the sound of rippling water droplets and a faint scent of bamboo and wood, permeating every moment, entering through every pore. . .

Chen Bao'er was a bit dazed, not knowing what had happened to him.

In such an atmosphere, even Chen Bao'er felt that something was not quite right, let alone Xiao Yan.

Xiao Louzhu felt that she was simply torturing herself. The pain of being so close to a beauty but unable to touch her was truly unbearable.

If she had known it would be so torturous, she wouldn't have teased him earlier.

Xiao Yan lowered her head and looked at a certain part of her lower abdomen, shaking her head helplessly and sighing.

It seemed that she could only calm down after the bathwater completely cooled down.

Ah! It's like lifting a stone and smashing it on one's own foot.

With such thoughts in mind, Xiao Yan unknowingly spent a long time soaking. At first, she could still hear the sound of water, but gradually, there was no movement at all.

She had exerted a lot of physical energy during the day, and now, soaking in hot water, she felt both relieved and sleepy. In addition, she deliberately suppressed her restless thoughts and kept silently reciting the mantra of calming the mind.

After a while, her mind calmed down a bit, and she fell asleep leaning against the bathtub.

Chen Bao'er waited for a long time, but found that Xiao Yan had completely disappeared inside, so he gently called out, but there was no response at all.

The movement inside stopped for a long time, even the shadows on the screen did not move.

Could something have happened?
