Chapter 353, Changing Clothes
Just like when I came here, I passed by the hotel lobby, bought two bottles of water on the way, and then returned to the suite. Everything was the same as last time until I walked into the room.

However, it was different once you entered the room.

"Well, you stay here. I'll go outside to change."

Soon, the two of them will take a bath together.

If they were at home, they would go back to their rooms to prepare their clothes in a casual or quiet atmosphere. But in this suite, Zhuo planned to let her stay in the bedroom while he changed into a swimsuit by the hot spring.

The reason was simple: although the suite was exquisitely decorated, it only had a narrow bathroom, a spacious bedroom, and an open-air hot spring pool. Although Ling would wear a swimsuit to bathe in the hot spring pool later, Zhuo still selfishly didn't want her to take off her clothes outside.

When she heard about changing clothes, Ling paused for a moment. She must have been concerned about it.

"..."

"Just think of it as my selfish desire. Even if I know it's impossible, I don't want to give others the chance to see Zero."

"I can understand that..."

"Is there anything inconvenient?"

Seeing Ling hesitate to speak, Zhuo made sure his voice was as gentle as possible and asked. Then Ling stood there with his head down, holding the paper bag containing the swimsuit, and lowered his eyes.

"……wash……"

"I'm here."

"…I saw Sa Chieko and the others…your parents entered the bathroom together with their clothes on…"

“…Yes, that’s right.”

"...We don't want it, do we?"

When Zhuo heard a trembling whisper in Ling's voice for the first time, he didn't react for a moment and stared at Ling stiffly.

(Together means...)
Of course, parents who enter the bathroom together must change clothes in front of each other, which means that they are naked for each other to see.

The problem is that Sa Chiko and Shuichi have been married for many years, and Zhuo is already 18 years old. If he were to do such a thing, Zhuo would really not be able to control himself, and he believed that at least he would enjoy her tender body.

Ling was even more active than usual, making Zhuo unable to hide his confusion. Zhuo scratched his cheek, which was almost burning, and his eyes wandered.

"No, no, it's not that I'm reluctant, but I do - after all, we've bought swimsuits, so wouldn't it be a waste to do that?"

"……I see."

"…I really don't want to, I…"

"I understand."

"oh oh."

"..."

"..."

"Um... so you had made plans from the beginning, so that's why you didn't bring a swimsuit?"

"…Простофиля." (It's the same as the previous comment, a similar meaning. Russian.)
That is to say, in Zero's plan before coming here, they had already planned to take a hot spring bath together and possibly change clothes together, and spending the night together was most likely also something she had considered.

Zhuo had thought that Ling, who was very careful in doing things, would forget to bring his swimsuit...

However, Ling would refuse to do something she hated... This might sound a bit arrogant... Zhuo felt that, except for Zhuo, there was probably no one who could make Ling do something she was unwilling to do. Therefore, such a thing was her own expectation.

Ling probably dreams of becoming a harmonious couple like Zhuo's parents, or perhaps he also wants to have the experience of taking a bath and going to bed together naturally like them.

Of course, Zhuo was very happy that she had such expectations. Knowing that she trusted him wholeheartedly, or to be more precise, had completely hung her life on Zhuo, Zhuo was also happy. That was true... When the time came, Zhuo still felt that his heart and reason could not bear it.

"Well, I mean... that's it for now. I'm going to go out first..."

"Ah."

"…Excuse me, did Ling bring a bath towel?"

"..."

The redundant question seemed really redundant. After Zhuo dodged his gaze and asked Ling this question, Ling turned his head and looked at him with a puzzled look. Seeing this look, Zhuo realized that he seemed to have asked a stupid question.

"If you take a bath together, you won't need that kind of thing. I'll help you."

"Uh... you know that it will more or less touch the body directly, right?"

"…If we were to wash each other, we would definitely touch each other."

"oh oh……"

"And I also want Zhuo to help me... and I also want to help Zhuo take good care of his skin. Zhuo has had some acne recently, hasn't he?"

"……so."

I was wondering why Ling, who deliberately didn't bring a swimsuit, still had so many gifts. It seems that he also brought products for washing and maintaining his skin.

Ling often wants to take care of Zhuo's body, such as asking Zhuo to apply a facial mask, telling Zhuo how to dry his hair, etc. Her ideas are not unimaginable.

However, Zhuo didn't expect that she would really want to help each other bathe.

"Well... I think I understand your decision. I'll put on my swimsuit too, and we can solve it peacefully. Is that okay?"

"……Um."

"…Is it authentic?"

"a man of his words."

Zhuo thought that this sentence should be said by a man, but seeing that Ling had made up his mind to make such a suggestion, Zhuo did not want to ignore this determination.

Simply put, just wash the ninja.

For Zhuo, he has found her now. Zhuo also dreams of having a harmonious relationship like his parents and countless harmonious couples. He thinks it would be a good idea to start by bathing each other together. As long as Zhuo can control his desires and keep things in a warm atmosphere, it would be good to deepen their relationship.

At that time, Zhuo thought that he must not let his desires get the better of him and ruin what should have been a lifetime memory. Zhuo carefully recalled everything that had happened today and the conversations that had taken place, making sure that they would remain in his mind forever. He covered his pounding chest, nodded, and replied, "I know."

……

She quickly changed into her swimsuit, draped a bathrobe over her shoulders, and sat by the hot spring pool waiting for Ling to come out.

As Zhuo sat here, he felt nervous and restless, but he didn't want to show it.

Ling said that putting on a swimsuit would take time, and asked Zhuo not to be anxious... Zhuo really wanted to ask why he was so anxious, it wasn't like he had to do it... But Zhuo really sat here waiting and was really anxious. The longer he waited, the faster his heartbeat became.

Although Zhuo had seen Ling wearing a swimsuit, it was the first time for the two of them to be alone and in close contact in a space that was considered isolated from the world. In fact, he was more nervous than happy.

After all, isn't bathing together something that only men and women who have experience and are used to doing would do? They were still far from it, but the order was reversed... Zhuo felt strange thinking about this, and at the same time, he felt itchy and ashamed.

My body felt hot before I even soaked in the hot water.
