Chapter 28 Sister-in-law, let me get it for you...
When the new house was completed, what satisfied Su Wan the most was neither the spacious master bedroom nor the heated attic with underfloor heating.
Instead, it was that one room—**Super Luxurious System-Exclusive Spirit Spring Bathhouse**!
The bathroom is separate and located behind the master bedroom.
Su Wan deliberately placed the [White Jade Bath], a reward from the system, right in the center.
To keep warm, a double-layered fire channel was laid underneath. As soon as you enter, a wave of heat hits you, like entering a sauna.
"call……"
Su Wan soaked in the warm spring water and let out a long sigh of comfort.
This water is fresh water, I don't know where the system draws it from, it has a faint smell of sulfur and flowers.
On the water's surface floats a layer of pink petals (actually a system effect to enhance charm).
A misty haze hangs in the air.
Su Wan leaned against the wall of the white jade pool, her peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, her wet long hair clinging to her snow-white shoulders, the contrast between black and white striking and breathtaking.
Water droplets slid down her slender neck, flowed over her delicate collarbone, and finally disappeared beneath the surface of the water that rose and fell with her breath.
At this moment, she was truly relaxed.
But this relaxation... lasted for less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
because--
The soundproofing in this bathroom isn't very good.
Or rather, it's because the people outside have such excellent hearing.
……
Outside the bathroom, under the corridor.
Seven tall, dark figures, like seven geckos stuck to the wall, lined up in a row.
The cold wind was howling, but these people didn't feel cold at all.
Because their blood was so hot it was almost boiling!
"Splash—"
A soft splashing sound came from the bathroom.
"Gulp."
A series of swallowing sounds rang out in unison outside the door.
The third brother, Qin Meng, squatted at the front, his two big hands gripping his knees so tightly that his pants were almost torn.
His face was flushed and his neck was thick. His bull-like eyes were fixed on the tightly closed carved wooden door, as if he could see the spring scenery inside through the door panel.
"The sound of the water...it sounds so nice."
"It's like... scratching my heart."
"Promising."
The fourth brother, Qin Yue, leaned against a pillar, fanning himself. Although he complained, his almond-shaped eyes were fixed on a small patch of something in the window... a **crack**.
That was left "accidentally" by the twins when they were installing the windows.
Although the window was covered with paper, it had a hole the size of a fingernail due to dampness.
Through that hole.
All that could be seen inside was a vast expanse of white mist.
But deep within that mist, occasionally a breathtaking glimpse of snow-white could be seen, or a splash of water from a lotus-like arm.
"Did you see that?"
The fifth and sixth brothers, squeezed behind the fourth brother, were so anxious they were scratching their heads and pleading, "Fourth brother, don't hog it all! Move over there!"
"Shut up, all of you!"
The eldest brother, Qin Lie, stood at the very back with a dark expression.
He crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, his entire body was tense like a stone.
That damn sound of water...
Each sound was like a flick on his brain nerves.
His mind was filled with the image of her that day in the cave, completely soaked and with her curves on full display.
And now...
She was inside, completely naked.
It was just a few steps away from them.
"This water... Sister-in-law's finished washing, shall we do it the usual way?"
The second brother, Qin Mo, pushed up his glasses, his voice a little tense, but his intention was clear.
Who could bear to throw away such a huge pool of "miracle water"?
That's holy water!
"certainly!"
Everyone spoke in unison.
The air instantly filled with tension as they vied for priority in getting the "second rinse."
Just then.
A startled cry of frustration suddenly came from the bathroom.
"ah!"
The seven men outside the door instantly bristled and rushed to the doorway in unison.
"What's wrong?!"
"Your sister-in-law fell?!"
Qin Lie's hand was already on the door frame, veins bulging. If someone inside cried out in pain, he could tear the door down immediately!
"N-nothing!"
From inside came Su Wan's flustered voice, tinged with shame and embarrassment:
"Well... I... I forgot to bring my clothes."
I rushed in too quickly and was just too excited.
The clean inner garment that had been prepared, and that... cough cough, red bellyband, were all forgotten on the soft couch outside!
She's completely naked now; she can't just run around naked, can she?
"clothing?"
The atmosphere outside the door instantly shifted from "tense" to "strange excitement".
Qin Lie withdrew his hand that was about to bang on the door.
He turned around, his gaze sharp, and instantly locked onto the pile of clothes placed on the soft couch in the corridor.
The bright red bodice at the very top, set against the snow, was so strikingly red that it made one's blood boil.
That is……
Close-fitting.
The innermost one.
"I'll go get it!"
Qin Meng reacted the fastest, charging forward like a wild bull.
"stop!"
Qin Yue blocked his path with a folding fan, a calculating glint in his peach blossom eyes:
"Third Brother's hands are too rough; he might snag Sister-in-law's silk. This kind of delicate work is for me."
"Your hands, the ones that touch money, are the dirty ones!"
The fifth and sixth brothers rushed over, "We just washed our hands! We'll deliver it!"
"I am the eldest brother!" Qin Lie shouted angrily.
Seven men surrounded the pile of clothes, like a pack of hungry wolves surrounding a piece of fresh meat.
Everyone wants to give it to someone.
What does it mean to give clothes as a gift?
It means you can put your hand in... it means you can get as close as possible to that fog... and even, if you're not careful... you might even see something.
"Stop arguing!"
Qin Mo, the second brother who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke coldly.
He pushed up his glasses, and a glint of light flashed behind the lenses:
"What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket? If you frighten your sister-in-law, no one will be able to deliver the gift."
He pointed to the stack of clothes, his tone calm (pretending):
"Let's play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins goes. It's fair and just."
This is the only way.
Seven men stood in a circle, breathing heavily, their eyes fierce.
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
One game decides the outcome.
Perhaps it's the blessing of the God of Literature, or perhaps it's just that cunning people are always lucky.
Qin Mo played scissors and won against everyone else's paper.
"Thank you for your concession."
Qin Mo smiled faintly and slowly straightened his collar.
Then, under the watchful eyes of six pairs of people who were practically spitting fire with envy, he walked towards the pile of clothes like a victorious general.
He did not arrest him directly.
Instead, she carefully used two fingers to lift the strap of the red bellyband.
The fabric was as light as a cloud and as smooth as oil.
Qin Mo's Adam's apple bobbed violently as he clenched the red fabric tightly in his hand, then picked up his outer inner garment and covered himself completely.
"Sister-in-law."
He walked to the bathroom door, his voice low and hoarse, filled with barely suppressed emotion:
"I brought the clothes."
In the bathroom, Su Wan was curled up in the water like a quail.
Hearing that it was her second son's voice, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness it's the second brother; if it were the third or fourth brother, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.
"Then... please pass it in, Second Brother."
Su Wan carefully swam to the door, hid behind it, and prepared to reach out with only one hand to catch it.
"Squeak—"
The carved wooden door was pushed open a crack.
It was just a crack.
boom--!
A rich, humid steam, carrying the fragrance of flowers and body odor, instantly gushed out from the crack in the door!
It pounced directly on Qin Mo's face.
Qin Mo's breath hitched.
Through the fog, he saw a hand reaching out from behind the door.
What a hand that was!
Soaked in hot water, her skin became pink and translucent, with water droplets clinging to her fingertips. Against the backdrop of the white jade-like door frame, her skin glowed white and her tenderness was alluring.
And deep within that crack in the door…
It was a glimpse of pink skin and a patch of damp collarbone.
"Second Brother?"
Seeing no response, Su Wan gestured with her fingers in the air. "Where are the clothes?"
Qin Mo felt as if all the blood in his body was flowing backwards.
He closed his eyes (actually, he was looking through his fingers), barely suppressing the crazy urge to push the door open and enter.
With trembling hands, he handed over the stack of clothes.
At the very moment of the handover.
Their fingers inevitably touched.
Qin Mo's fingers trembled violently as if he had been electrocuted.
But he did not back down.
Instead, as if bewitched, she inexplicably... gently hooked her hand on the slippery back of her hand.
"ah!"
Su Wan seemed to have been burned; she grabbed her clothes and withdrew her hand in fright.
"Thank... thank you, Second Brother!"
"Bang!"
The door closed.
But that instantaneous touch was like a brand, etched firmly onto Qin Mo's fingertips, burning along his nerves to his heart.
Qin Mo stood at the door, still in the posture of handing over the clothes, without moving for a long time.
He stared at the closed door, his glasses fogged up completely.
Take off your glasses.
Those eyes, which were usually calm and composed, were now frighteningly red, churning with a desire that could devour everything.
"Second brother, are you done yet?!"
From behind came the third brother's urgent voice, "Sister-in-law, grab your clothes and move aside! The water's getting cold! It's our turn!"
Qin Mo took a deep breath, brought the hand that had just touched her to his nose, and inhaled deeply.
It all smells like her.
He turned around, reverting to his refined scoundrel persona, only his voice was hoarse beyond belief:
"What's the rush?"
"The water... is hot."
That night.
The water in that large white jade bathtub was indeed not poured out.
The seven men jumped into the pool of "divine water" like dumplings being boiled.
The petals she left behind still float on the water.
Her body temperature was still present in the water.
Qin Lie leaned against the pool wall, right where Su Wan had just leaned.
He closed his eyes, feeling the warm spring water enveloping his entire body, as if she were gently embracing him.
that moment.
Seven tough guys let out a satisfied yet suppressed sigh in unison through the mist.
Meanwhile, Su Wan, who was hiding in the room getting dressed, touched her burning cheeks and listened to the system notification:
[Beep! Group bathing detected (just kidding)...interesting!]
[All members' hormone levels: off the charts!]
[Congratulations, host! Your Heartbeat Farm has received "nourishment"!]
[New area unlocked: Orchard! (Now that we've taken a bath, let's have some fruit to quench our thirst!)]
