Chapter 356, Entering the Water

After Zhuo's suggestion was ignored by Ling with further actions, Zhuo temporarily pushed Ling's hand away instead.

Zhuo turned around and saw Ling looking up at him with her eyes open, as if she was shocked, or maybe she was worried that Zhuo was angry and didn't know what to do. So, Zhuo just hugged her from the front.

"……wash……"

"...Zero must have deliberately ignored me and carried me here."

"……Yes."

"Then I can do it too... You said it before, so I don't need to ask for your opinion."

"It's okay if it's just like this." Zero, who was being hugged, whispered to herself, and at the same time she felt herself being wrapped in the bubble. The large area of ​​skin pressed tightly against her made her feel hot, and in an instant, Zero's whole body went limp and she couldn't stand steadily.

Seeing that Ling had become as stiff as before, Zhuo picked up the bubble net she had just used and started to make bubbles while holding her.

"wash?"

"Is it right to say that we should wash each other?"

“…That’s right.”

"Then I think I also have the right to wash your body, what do you think?"

Zhuo deliberately lowered his voice, and Ling trembled all over and couldn't speak. He could only stare at Zhuo with an inexplicable look, as if his consciousness was not clear enough. So, Zhuo tried not to show his shyness and pretended to be calm, while smiling and saying, "Then there will be no problem."

Today, Ling was particularly active and had the upper hand. Zhuo always thought this was strange, because the active Ling was very good at keeping distance, and as a result, Zhuo was the only one who felt nervous and stiff. Zhuo couldn't continue to be passive.

——We must go into the water together.

Zhuo knew that Ling's body would react to his dislikes, such as suddenly punching or kicking him, so he slowly applied the foam on Ling's back.

Sure enough, Ling's back was slimmer than his own, his skin was moist and smooth, and there wasn't even a trace of acne marks. When he thought that such a perfect person loved him wholeheartedly and belonged to him, Zhuo felt a little flattered, but also a little bit inferior.

"...Wash, itchy..."

"I have a strong feeling that you are too sensitive and your whole body is full of weaknesses."

From what Zhuo has seen so far, he knows that Zero's ears and back of the neck are weak points, but he didn't expect that her back is also a weak point. Rather, it seems that the places where the skin touches are weak. If Zhuo didn't know that it was her in person, it would be hard for him to imagine that Zero was a girl who could remain calm even if her kneecap was broken. Her neck also trembles when the hot air from her breath touches it, probably because she is easily irritated.

It just touched his back through the bubbles, and at most his waist, but Ling clenched his fists, pursed his lips and shook his head, and the next second he suddenly raised his head and glared at him.

"……you do this delibrately."

“?… If you hadn’t said to wash each other’s backs, I wouldn’t have done this.”

"...You did it on purpose. I did it for your consideration."

"Even if that's the case, it's reasonable... it's a little late to say that."

"Please understand my mood just now." Zhuo carefully washed Ling's back with this feeling, and Ling gave up resistance, lowered his head the whole time, and leaned his body against Zhuo obediently.

… “I’m sorry~”

Zhuo stood by the hot spring pool, while Ling was two meters away, silently splashing hot water on himself to adapt to the temperature of the hot spring. After Zhuo apologized, Ling silently glanced at him, then turned his head away. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

After that, Zhuo carefully washed her back, and she slipped away while washing, perhaps she had reached her limit. While washing her hair, Ling refused to speak.

Not only during the process, but even now, when she was about to enter the water, she remained silent. It seemed that Zhuo had gone a little too far.

"You should do the same. The hot spring here is very hot. Go in slowly."

Not at all.

When it comes to the issue of basic principles, Ling was of course concerned about Zhuo, so he gave him a reminder.

But after saying that, Ling sat by the pool and slowly put his two white feet into the water. His small, delicate, snow-white, crystal-clear jade feet stepped into the sparkling water, and each toe looked so delicate, charming and lovely. Then he splashed the water on his body, then put his legs in, and finally slowly immersed his whole body in the pool.

Zhuo felt that he really had to take back his previous thoughts. Controlling desires and restraining rationality were all just dreams. This was not something he could control at all. And the key point was that Ling was completely defenseless in front of Zhuo, a person who was so familiar to her, because she had long been accustomed to it, but Zhuo was really getting more and more unaccustomed to it. And Ling seemed to have completely forgotten that she was wearing a skirt-style swimsuit. When she bent over, lowered her body, and entered the water, the hem of the skirt could no longer cover the round curve that should have been hidden.

The water temperature of the hot spring here was really hot, and the steam alone made people's skin misty. In addition, with Ling in such a state, Zhuo began to sweat and his mouth was dry before he even entered the water.

After entering the water, Ling also controlled the distance, but it was reduced from two meters to about one meter. This distance was just like the distance between them when they first met Ling and sat on the two ends of the sofa, the only difference was that they were sitting in the water now.

Zhuo wasn't sure whether Ling did it intentionally or unintentionally. At this distance, Zhuo could sense that Ling was avoiding him. This showed that he was in a very bad mood, but it also didn't make Zhuo feel that Ling was really angry and was staying away from him.

So Zhuo also started scratching his cheek.

"I'm sorry, I went too far."

“…Excessive.”

"Your reaction was so cute, it's something you never normally see. I accidentally touched you too much. I'm so sorry."

"Play with my ears, too."

"That's because she's really cute... No, it's not nice to say 'playing with her'."

"You bit my ear."

“I am reflecting on this.”

Playing with Ling's weak point of ears, Ling kept shaking while Zhuo washed his back. Zhuo felt embarrassed about it, but after she looked up at him with tears in her eyes, he couldn't stop.

"…It turns out that Zhuo is a bad-hearted person."

"I'm sorry. Um, I will definitely think twice before doing anything next time. Can you please stop being angry?"

Because he had gone too far, Zhuo made up his mind to tell Ling that he would never make the same mistake again. However, Ling glanced at him even more resentfully. Despite this, although there was still some reluctance in Ling's eyes, he still approached him cautiously.

Ling's eyes wandered for a moment, as if he was considering where to go, and then he seemed to have made up his mind and just sat between Zhuo's legs.
