The first light of day shone on the sleeping figure in red. Her eyelashes slightly moved, before they fluttered open. Bai Yu held her hand up to shield her eyes against the morning sunlight. She sat up and looked around, slowly realizing that she was lying on a bed under a large blanket.

She remembered that last night she was so tired that she fell asleep while watching over the injured person. But somehow, she now woke up on the bed instead of Ouyang Feilong, and there was no sign of him anywhere.

The bloodstain from his wound last night confirmed that it was not a dream. Ouyang Feilong was gravely injured and was partially healed by her magic.

But where was him now?

Bai Yu threw off the blanket. Her dark eyes followed the trail of blood on the floor with her trembling heart. The blood that had yet to dry led somewhere. Bai Yu hurriedly got out of the bed and followed it.

Was his wound still not healed?

The trail went from the bed to the bathtub behind a folding screen that was not too far away. Bai Yu stopped before the screen. She was worried about Ouyang Feilong, but she was not brave enough to look behind it and risk seeing him bathing.

She could only listen for a sound from the other side of the screen. However, everything was silent.

Bai Yu’s heart dropped. Was he not here? Or was he here but something happened? Why was it so quiet?!

.....

Thinking of the injured person who had just recovered from an arrow wound, she stepped past the folding screen. What she saw was as she had expected. Ouyang Feilong was still in the same clothes as last night. His tall figure was sitting in a moderately-sized tub. His upper body was naked, revealing various scars on his chest. Water vapor was slowly floating on the water surface. Ouyang Feilong’s whole body was in a warm bath.

Repeat: Whole body! Even his face was submerged in water!

Ouyang Feilong at there, with his eyes closed and no movements at all. The sight of him like that made Bai Yu completely forget about shame or embarrassment. She ran toward him immediately. She grabbed his arm and exerted all her strength to pull him up out of the water.

“Feilong!”

Splash!

“Ah!”

Bai Yu felt her breath disappear. Her eyes instinctively closed as a reaction to the feeling of irritation. She opened her mouth in an attempt to breathe, but then was choked by the water, instead of air as she had expected. Her left arm was constrained, while the other hand tried to find something to hold onto after realizing that she was now in the same tub that Ouyang Feilong fainted in.

In a mere second, the pressure on her right shoulder disappeared, as well as the restraint on her left arm. Her slim waist was caught in two big hands that helped push her up to the surface.

Splash!

“Hah...cough!” As soon as she felt the air, she opened her mouth, seeking air, but then coughed out water instead. Her eyes were still tightly shut as her hands searched around her for something to prevent her from falling into the water again. The broad shoulders of the man in front of Bai Yu were then held tightly as her anchor. She rested her head against his naked shoulder, putting all her weight on his body. She was still coughing.

Ouyang Feilong frowned. He released his hand to hold the edge of the bathtub so that he could support both of their weight. At the same time, his other arm still embraced Bai Yu’s waist, preventing her from sinking down again.

The black dragon calmly propped himself and the foolish woman in the moderate size bathtub. The two bodies were in an intimate position, sticking close and unintentionally rubbing against each other because of the size of the tub. Still, none of them notice the intimacy. Bai Yu still tightly hugged the other person’s neck. And Ouyang Feilong was still waiting for her coughing to seize and her breathing to return to normal.

“Benwang did not expect you.” Even while he was closing his eyes and being submerged underwater, the commander general’s five senses remained as sharp as ever. Ouyang Feilong knew that there was someone close by, but her suddenly touching him induced his instinctive reaction, and so his body automatically moved to pull her down and hold her underwater.

“Cough. I thought...cough...” Bai Yu released her hand from his shoulder. She rubbed her nose until the tip turned red. “...I thought Wangye fainted.”

“A fool, through and through.”

Slap!

The hand that was rubbing her nose was suddenly used to slap his shoulder. “I was worried about Wangye!’

She glared at the person who dragged her underwater the moment she touched him, trying to convey all her complaints through her gaze. Ouyang Feilong lowered his head to look at the woman in his arm as his own shoulder started to turn red being hit. He raised a brow as he calmly said. “Benwang though you were spying on benwang taking a bath.”

“Don’t be too conceited!” Bai Yu blurted out before she could think her words over.

“True...” Ouyang Feilong let go of his hand on the edge of the tub and released his arm around her waist. “Benwang can’t compete with Da Chu’s second prince.”

Because of the slipperiness of the bottom of the tub, Bai Yu had to hold the edge of the tub to support herself after the other person suddenly let go. “What does Wangye mean?”

Ouyang Feilong was silent. His golden eyes were aloof as he looked at her. “Chu Zhaoran’s first consort is Da Chu’s future empress.”

Bai Yu stared at him, who calmly spoke. Ouyang Feilong stood up from the tub, his tone was neutral as if he was only discussing the weather. Bai Yu felt that the atmosphere was strangely familiar.

“Now that Qin Wang has Bai Hua, you should accept Chu Zhaoran’s offer to become his wife.”

Bai Yu hurriedly stood up, wanting to object before the other person could step out of the tub. This person really did have a habit of overthinking things on his own.

Unfortunately, the slippery tub made her lose her balance again. “Aaah!”

The woman’s cry made Ouyang Feilong reach toward her without thinking twice. Bai Yu unconsciously grabbed his shoulders. However, the weight from Ouyang Feilong who hurried toward her caused them to fall back into the tub.

Before Bai Yu’s smaller body could hit the water, Ouyang Feilong turn them both over and used himself as a cushion for her.

Splash!

Bai Yu held her breath in anticipation when she knew she was going to fall into the water. She used both of her arms to hug his shoulder, thinking that she would be the first to fall in. Her action caused Ouyang Feilong to hold the edge of the tub with one hand while the other pressed her body against him. Then, he used his one hand to pull them both to the surface.

“Cough...cough...”

Once again, Bai Yu choked on water. Her uncontrollable coughing was opposite to Ouyang Feilong who was only shaking water droplets from his hair and face, his breath slightly faster than normal.

Ouyang Feilong pulled her waist closer to let her sit on his lap in the limited space of the bathtub. When they both could settle down and regain balance, he let go of his hand in the tub to wipe away water from Bai Yu’s face.

“Why are you so careless?” There was a reprimanding tone in his voice.

Bai Yu twisted her mouth at his words. Her eyes were red from irritation after falling into the water twice. “And why doesn’t Wangye listen to me?”
