Chapter 225: Chapter 225

At this moment, Rong Qingqing inside slowly opened her eyes and woke up.

The thing Shen Jue worried about really happened, Rong Qingqing actually fell asleep soaking in the bath.

Rong Qingqing heard Shen Jue’s voice at the door and responded.

But since she had been soaking for so long, her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke.

Rong Qingqing suddenly realized she had stayed too long in the bath, and with weak arms and legs, she tried to get out by holding onto the edge of the tub.

As a result, as soon as she stepped out, her foot slipped, and she tumbled out of the bathtub, landing directly on the soft mat.

Although it didn’t hurt much, it still made a loud crashing noise.

"Rong Qingqing!" Shen Jue’s voice outside became alarmed, "I’m coming in!" Fresh chapters posted on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

Rong Qingqing, upon hearing this, quickly shouted, "Don’t come in! I’m not wearing anything; I just rolled out of the bathtub!"

Roll out? More like fell out.

With that much noise, not even a pig could roll out in such a commotion.

Shen Jue asked, "Or should I call Nanny Zhao to come help you?"

He was so worried just now that he forgot to consider whether Rong Qingqing was dressed in the bathroom.

Inside the bathroom, Rong Qingqing simply lay on the floor, gasping for air, "Let me rest here for a while, and I’ll come out in a bit."

Shen Jue’s hand was already on the bathroom door handle, but after hearing Rong Qingqing’s words, he hesitated for a second and withdrew his hand.

He said, "I’ll stay at the door, just call if you need anything."

Rong Qingqing opened her mouth and responded with an ’Oh.’

She lay on the ground for a full three minutes before finally regaining some strength.

Getting up from the ground, Rong Qingqing casually grabbed a bathrobe to put on, and with weak arms and legs, opened the door and walked out.

Do you know what it’s like to walk on a sponge?

It’s just like how Rong Qingqing felt at that moment, with every step feeling like her footing was unsteady, not at all like walking on flat ground.

Her eyes were still blurry from being soaked too long.

Her hands, originally so pretty, stretched out all wrinkled, looking as aged as an old lady’s hands.

Rong Qingqing sighed and opened the door.

Shen Jue heard a soft click and knew Rong Qingqing had come out, so he stepped back a little.

However, before he could step back too far, Rong Qingqing, who had just walked out of the bathroom, fell directly into his arms.

Straight as a board, she collapsed into his embrace.

"Fifth hidden task completed successfully, rewarded with 4.5 hours of life extension, remaining life duration 112 hours."

Rong Qingqing leaned on Shen Jue’s chest, so close she could hear his heartbeat.

Rong Qingqing glanced up at Shen Jue’s expression.

Hmm, darkly sullen, clearly unhappy.

"I didn’t do it on purpose, my hands and feet are weak, lost my balance..."

Rong Qingqing swore, this time she truly didn’t mean to.

Anyway, when she did it on purpose before, she never succeeded.

Yet, when it wasn’t intentional, it seemed like she always seized the opportunity.

Shen Jue blinked, responding coolly, "Oh."

Rong Qingqing, hearing that Shen Jue didn’t seem very upset, felt relieved.

She looked at the big bed a few steps away and sighed softly.

"Shen Jue, I don’t want to try hard anymore, just carry me to the bed..."

Rong Qingqing thought, if she fell again, there wouldn’t be Shen Jue’s embrace to fall into, and if she bumped into something, it would hurt terribly.

Shen Jue’s mouth twitched ever so slightly.

He thought he should just toss the woman in his arms to the ground and see if she would dare push her luck again.
