Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Qin Xin looked at the man suspiciously.

Suddenly, she extended her slender finger and poked the man’s knee.

The man grunted, catching her little hand: ”What are you doing?”

Although his tone was cold, it hid a trace of unnoticeable tension.

Could it be that she discovered something? Otherwise, why would she poke his knee alone? — She’s so clever, he was careless. Had he known, he shouldn’t have held her so tightly just now, unwilling to let go, and let her sit on his knee for so long before reminding her.

The man was holding his breath, as a string of illogical explanations flashed through his mind.

But then Qin Xin muttered to herself: ”Not a robot, the knee has flesh, how did I feel like I touched steel just now...”

The veins on the man’s forehead throbbed, and he couldn’t help but twitch his lips fiercely.

The little guy mistook him for a robot?!

Such impudence... needs a beating.

”Focus, relax in the hot spring and don’t let your mind wander.” Gradually, his nervousness subsided, and his strained explanations couldn’t be used anymore, the man said in a deep voice and closed his eyes once more.

However, his hand still held hers, tightly, unwilling to relax.

Qin Xin also felt much more at ease.

Though the hot spring was warm, it was no match for the warmth of the man’s palm.

Being held by him gave her a strange overwhelming sense of safety.

She felt she might soon fall asleep again while soaking...

Qingcheng Four Seas Hotel.

In the guest room’s bathroom, Xiao Bailu’s whole body had sunk to the bottom of the bathtub.

In her dream, she was completely unaware, only feeling that someone in the dream seemed to cover her head with a plastic bag, she couldn’t breathe, she was about to suffocate.

Could it be that she cursed the damned man tonight, complaining that he always wanted to open the window to change the air, saying why doesn’t he use a plastic bag to suffocate, and then this curse befell her?

Ah, ah, ah, this is really an annoying dream.

Why hasn’t she woken up yet?

She was really about to suffocate...

Just as Xiao Bailu waved her arms, cursing the damned man for ten thousand more times.

Suddenly.

Her back was hit heavily by someone, it hurt her so much that she opened her eyes.

”Cough, cough, cough...!”

She was drenched, large drops of water streamed from her hair onto her face, her eyes, nose, and mouth were also filled with water, making her cough violently, feeling like she was about to cough out her lungs.

What happened?

Wasn’t she sleeping? How come...

Her back was hit fiercely once more.

The force shook her into another violent cough, and then ”Wah—” she vomited out a floor full of water.

”Why are you hitting me...”

Xiao Bailu was miserable and in pain, looking back, Huo Tingzun had one foot in the bathtub, gripping her waist and relentlessly slapping her back.

Seeing her finally cough out the dirty water and wake up, he said grumpily, ”If I hadn’t pulled you up, you’d have drowned in the bathtub, foolish woman.”

Fool... foolish woman?

This lifetime, Xiao Bailu had always been exceptionally intelligent and never forgetful, who dares to describe her with such a word?

Her temper flared immediately: ”Who asked you to save me? I was sleeping just fine, who knows if you got up at night with naughty intentions, purposefully dragging me to the bathroom, I demand to know what you want to do?”

Huo Tingzun’s face turned livid.

If it weren’t for the main bedroom’s bathroom faucet being broken.

And inexplicably running to her room wanting to borrow the bathroom, he wouldn’t have stumbled upon this foolish woman sleeping in the bathtub and drowning herself.

This little ingrate.

And she’s snapping at him?

He took a deep breath: ”You were sleeping just fine, though, you were sleeping in the water by yourself, no one dragged you there.”

Then, coldly delivering a lethal sentence: ”Hope you understand, even if you dressed like this to seduce me, I wouldn’t want to do anything to you.”
