Chapter 225: Chapter 225

Pei Shu’er’s legs were quite beautiful, and the wet clothes quickly outlined her leg shape, straight and long, giving the impression that everything below the waist was legs.

Her chest was already full and round, and the exposed skin was fair and delicate, with a waist that could not be encircled with one hand.

Her cheeks were red, her eyes still glistening with moisture, and she looked at him shyly and angrily with her peach blossom eyes.

His Adam’s apple bobbed, his eyes darkened, and now he was in a rather awkward situation, forcing him to turn his back.

As Tang Zan’s eyes met Pei Shu’er’s, her face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly turned around as well.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Moreover, Tang Zan’s magnetic breathing seemed like a hint of an ambiguous thread, entwining the two of them together.

Shu’er’s earlobes turned increasingly red.

He took a deep breath, barely suppressing the heat in his heart before speaking of his plan.

"Anyway, I brought you here today just for you to soak in the hot spring. I know you’ve been quite tired these days."

"As for the clothes, with the sun this bright, you can take them off and dry them by the shore."

After a moment, Pei Shu’er finally turned to look at Tang Zan.

"How are we both supposed to soak in the hot spring?"

Tang Zan laughed, "We’ll be in the same pool, after all, we are a married couple. Or do you still wish to keep such a distance from me?"

Pei Shu’er gritted her teeth, "How about soaking separately? It’s inappropriate for men and women to be this close."

Even though Tang Zan was thinking the same, he couldn’t help but be annoyed by Pei Shu’er’s firm refusal.

He approached Pei Shu’er with a sullen face, lifting her chin, drawing near as his fingers lightly touched Pei Shu’er’s lips.

When the slightly calloused fingertips brushed her lips, it caused a faint ticklish sensation.

With a hint of pleasure in his voice, his magnetic voice was as seductive as a siren.

"Did you forget how close we were just now in the water?"

Pei Shu’er’s cheeks blushed slightly, and she shook her head.

"I know you were acting on urgency, just a desperate measure to save someone."

Tang Zan leaned against the shore, peering into Pei Shu’er’s clear eyes that seemingly showed no sign of emotion.

"Ha, whatever you say."

To be honest, if it were the modern era, wearing a swimsuit into the hot spring wouldn’t have been an issue.

But now, this is ancient times.

Even knowing Tang Zan had no intentions towards her, she couldn’t bring herself to do such a thing.

If she truly did, these ancients might think she had no self-respect.

She pointed to a pool behind the rocks.

"There’s another hot spring behind these stones, you can soak there."

Tang Zan looked at Pei Shu’er and nodded.

Indeed, he stood up and walked towards the other pool.

Once Tang Zan left, Pei Shu’er finally undressed, leaving only her undergarments.

Then she added a set of white one-piece swimwear beneath her undergarments.

She relaxed comfortably in the hot spring.

The scenery here was magnificent, and she could soak in the hot spring.

Pei Shu’er felt extremely comfortable, and the exhaustion from traveling dissipated entirely.

Perhaps it was too comfortable that Pei Shu’er fell asleep while soaking.

Tang Zan called Pei Shu’er several times from his side, but Pei Shu’er did not respond, making him a bit anxious, so he stood up quickly to check.

When Tang Zan arrived, he saw Pei Shu’er’s head halfway submerged, drinking the hot spring water with a gurgling sound.

Tang Zan couldn’t help but laugh, approaching Pei Shu’er and lifting her out of the pool.

Pei Shu’er had lost consciousness due to drinking too much water.

Tang Zan laid Pei Shu’er on a platform and began to resuscitate her.

Pei Shu’er didn’t respond for a while, and eventually, Tang Zan became anxious.

He continuously pressed on Pei Shu’er’s chest, then gave her breath again and again.

He frowned, "Pei Shu’er, you can’t be in trouble; wake up quickly." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel~fire~net

"I’m telling you, if you die, don’t blame me for being rude to your family in the Capital."

As Tang Zan turned pale with anxiety.

Pei Shu’er finally spat out a mouthful of water, coughing violently.

Tang Zan’s pallor improved.

He took a deep breath, the anxiety just now seemed like an illusion, feeling both frustrated and relieved.

"Pei Shu’er, were you that thirsty?"

Pei Shu’er gave a dry cough, her cheeks flushed.

She was genuinely exhausted earlier, and after soaking for too long, she felt a bit dizzy and confused, then began sliding down unwittingly.

Fortunately, Tang Zan saved her.

And today, Tang Zan had already saved her twice; she felt a bit embarrassed.

She was about to speak when she noticed their awkward position.

She lay flat on the ground, while Tang Zan, both hands on the ground, hovered over her.

She widened her eyes, blinking.

Then her gaze landed on Tang Zan’s cheeks.

Tang Zan’s eyes deepened slightly.

Pei Shu’er noticed that Tang Zan seemed to be drawing closer, his breath nearing hers.

She said, "Thank you for saving me."

"If you continue , I won’t care anymore."

Tang Zan, both angry and annoyed, got off Pei Shu’er, making a fierce threat.

He couldn’t stand seeing Pei Shu’er neglecting her health, she could have called for him if she couldn’t handle the hot spring.

Yet, she endured until she fainted.

Pei Shu’er didn’t realize how inappropriate she currently appeared, while Tang Zan turned his gaze away, blushing.

"Pei Shu’er, could you put on your clothes?"

Her body figure was truly...

Since she was soaked, her wet clothes clung to her body, revealing her beautiful curves.

Luckily, she wore a swimsuit; otherwise, it would have been even more awkward.

Tang Zan felt that his self-control wasn’t as strong as he thought.

Pei Shu’er glanced at the yet-to-dry clothes on the stone, seemingly at a loss for words.

And Tang Zan, too, was only in his underwear.

Today, the two highly esteemed individuals in others’ eyes appeared utterly embarrassed in front of each other.

Tang Zan even crafted a straw hat for Pei Shu’er, as her tender skin couldn’t bear to be tanned.

While Tang Zan was drying out in the sun.

Soon, it was time for dinner.

This time, Pei Shu’er had no energy and didn’t want to move, she had been incredibly tired these days.

She leaned against the large rock, drifting off to sleep.

Tang Zan went hunting alone but didn’t dare to go too far, fearing Pei Shu’er might be harmed by wild animals.

He merely caught a wild rabbit and returned, seeing Pei Shu’er still asleep.

Glancing at the dark circles under her eyes, he felt a pang of sympathy but didn’t wake her.

When Pei Shu’er woke, the roasted rabbit was ready.

Pei Shu’er ate it and found the taste quite good; it seemed Tang Zan had found some wild herbs nearby.

After dinner, their clothes were finally dry.

Pei Shu’er turned her back to Tang Zan to get dressed.

Since this valley was warmer than the others and with more wild fruits, Pei Shu’er suggested picking some with Tang Zan, placing them in the bag they brought.

While picking, Pei Shu’er tasted one, finding the sweet and sour taste quite pleasing.

Some were sour; if eaten when drowsy, it would certainly wake one up immediately.

After finishing the picking, Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan left together, still sharing one horse.
