Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 196 Ancient Times (50)

The group of people following behind watched the two of them rushing away like the wind, with complex expressions of annoyance and relief on their faces.

They stood there and murmured to themselves: Passerby A "It's a good thing we didn't do it."

Passerby B: "Yeah. Let's go back!"

Passerby C: "Fortunately, the person I met this time was not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately."

Passerby A: "Okay, let's go." Then the group walked in the opposite direction. After all, it was dark and windy at night, which was the best time to kill and set fire. Fortunately, they usually only collected some tolls, otherwise they would have been killed long ago.

……

Not long after, Li Xiangyi and Ji Xiao arrived at the place where the carriage was parked. Li Xiangyi looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there were no suspicious people or abnormal situations, he followed Ji Xiao into the house.

At this moment, they were still wearing the bright Miao costumes. When there was no one else around, Ji Xiao was finally able to calmly look at Li Xiangyi's extraordinary appearance. She stared at Li Xiangyi intently, as if she wanted to deeply imprint every detail of him in her mind.

Noticing that Ji Xiao had been staring at him, Li Xiangyi was a little at a loss, and didn't even dare to swallow his saliva - normally, unless he deliberately teased her, Ji Xiao would rarely show this kind of intoxicated expression so directly.

He slowly put down the teacup in his hand, his cheeks flushed, and he turned to look at her shyly, and asked softly: "Xiaoxiao, why are you staring at me like this?"

Ji Xiao answered without any reservation: "Because you are beautiful!"

Li Xiangyi's heart was moved when he heard this, but he pretended to be calm on the surface and said teasingly: "Oh? Since you think I'm good-looking, do you want to get closer and take a closer look?"

"Okay!" She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. As she spoke, she stood up and walked to his side with light steps. When she got close to him, she sat on him without hesitation.

Then, her eyes fell on the clothes he was wearing, and a hint of infatuation flashed in her eyes. She murmured, "Xiangyi, you look so good in this outfit today, just like the legendary Holy Son of Miao. You exude a unique charm, as if it is specially designed to bewitch people."

Hearing her praise like this, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised, but more of it was joy. After all, he knew that she would usually stare at him in a daze like this.

So, he deliberately teased her and said, "Oh~ Hearing what you said, could it be that you have witnessed the real Miaojiang Holy Son with your own eyes?"

She first shook her head, and then answered innocently: "I have never seen the real Holy Son of Miaojiang! What I said just now was just an analogy. However, if the Holy Son of Miaojiang really exists in the world, he must be as handsome and charming as you." After saying that, she winked at him mischievously.

Although he often saw Ji Xiao like this when they were alone together in private, it was the first time he saw her wearing exotic clothes. Then he sighed in his heart: "We are really a perfect match! We are both so good-looking. Tsk~"

However, Ji Xiao's appearance at this moment was indeed very attractive, so he silently took note in his heart that he must let her wear more of this kind of clothes in private in the future.

However, at this moment, he had a more important matter to deal with. So, he did not hesitate to hold the person in his arms tightly and headed straight to the second floor. Fortunately, the formation he had opened earlier had not been closed. Not only that, when he went upstairs, he also opened the rest of the formations one by one.

"Oh? Is that so? Then I have to verify it myself later." Ji Xiao's heart tightened when she heard this suddenly. Then she saw him pick her up and walk upstairs. She knew that she couldn't escape tonight no matter what.

Therefore, after he picked her up, Ji Xiao quickly stretched out her arms to wrap around his neck, screaming in shock as she made a final struggle, even though it was useless: "Ah~ Xiangyi, there's no need for that! You have to believe in yourself, and you've been out all day, and you're all dirty."

"It's okay. I don't mind. Besides, we can take a bath together. I haven't tried it for a long time. And the moonlight is nice tonight."

Ji Xiao opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something. Li Xiangyi saw this and quickly interrupted her: "Besides, Xiaoxiao, you promised me today. Besides, I boiled a lot of hot water earlier and stored it for backup. It will be used tonight."

After hearing these words, Ji Xiao knew that she couldn't escape tonight no matter what she said, so she said in her heart: "It's over! It's over! I really can't hide tonight." Sure enough, the next moment Li Xiangyi hugged her without hesitation and strode towards the bathroom.

After entering the bathroom, Li Xiangyi gently put Ji Xiao on the ground, then took out the hot water from the storage ring and adjusted the water temperature. As soon as the warm water came out, a hazy mist formed in the bathroom, filling the entire space.

Then Li Xiangyi took off the extra restraints on the two of them and put Ji Xiao into the warm water. As Ji Xiao entered the water, her originally tense body gradually relaxed.

But her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. At this moment, in this small bathtub, in addition to the steam produced by the hot water, there was also an ambiguous atmosphere - that was the heat rising between them.

This heat seemed to make the air thicker, making it difficult for her to breathe. Ji Xiao closed her eyes involuntarily, feeling Li Xiangyi's burning gaze and his increasingly close breath...

the next day.

The sun shone through the window into the room, creating patches of light and shadow. Ji Xiao woke up slowly, blinking her eyes, trying to wake herself up. She glanced out the window and found that the sun had already set, and it was obviously already mid-afternoon.

"I actually slept for so long..." Ji Xiao muttered to herself, rubbing her eyes and sitting up. At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Li Xiangyi walked in with a tray full of food.

He walked lightly and looked at Ji Xiao with gentle eyes. The sunlight shone on him, as if covering him with a layer of golden light. When Ji Xiao saw him, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Are you awake? How do you feel?" Li Xiangyi walked to the bedside and asked with concern.

"It's all your fault..." Ji Xiao replied resentfully.

Li Xiangyi put the plate on the table, then carried Ji Xiao to the table and sat down. Looking at the sumptuous food in front of him, Ji Xiao snorted at him: "Hmph╭(╯^╰)╮I said I don't want it..."

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Eat quickly, or it won't taste good if it gets cold." Li Xiangyi sat aside with a smile, quietly watching Ji Xiao enjoy the meal he cooked.

At this moment, the whole room was filled with a peaceful and warm atmosphere, as if time had stopped.
