Chapter 111: The First Time Bathing Together
“Hey, hey, hey, what are you trying to do?!”
She panicked, really panicked.
When she saw her good bro trying to pull her into the bathroom, Lin Muxi’s face instantly turned nervous. She started kicking her little feet while patting her buddy’s back in a hurry.
But Mo Ziyang didn’t mind at all. He just had a faint smile on his face. After all, being able to take a bath together with his girlfriend was something nice, wasn’t it?
So when he entered the bathroom, closed the door, and put down the struggling little fool in his arms, the two of them just stood there in the small space, staring at each other.
“I’m telling you, no way I’m taking a bath with you!”
As soon as she got off her bro’s body, Lin Muxi tried to run out of the bathroom right away. But Mo Ziyang blocked her path in an instant. Feeling shy, she blushed hard and pretended to glare at him angrily, though her voice and actions were shaky.
Her home was small, and the bathroom was even smaller. There wasn’t really a separate space for bathing.
She had been a guy before, and with a space this tiny, of course their bodies would bump into each other, right?
The thought made her remember moments from when she was still a boy, going to the toilet together with her bro.
Ew… just thinking about it felt too strange. Goosebumps ran all over her skin in an instant.
No way, no way… she would never let this happen.
But surprisingly, Mo Ziyang wasn’t as forceful this time as he usually was. Looking at the little “angry kitten” in front of him, he sighed in slight disappointment.
“You really don’t want to?”
“How could I possibly want to? Do you even hear yourself?”
After that, the two of them just stood there in silence, staring at each other. Even though Lin Muxi was a little scared of him, she wasn’t really afraid.
“Sigh, fine then.”
Not wanting to upset her, Mo Ziyang finally gave in. He stepped aside, opened the bathroom door, and gestured that she could go.
???
Lin Muxi should have rushed out right away, but instead, she hesitated.
“Really… I can go?” she asked carefully, her voice testing.
“Of course. Go on. I’ll finish bathing and then rest.”
“Then… I’ll go?”
She took a step forward, still watching his disappointed expression, expecting him to suddenly change his mind. But he didn’t move at all, just kept that sad look.
Even though she really wanted to leave, Lin Muxi instinctively felt something wasn’t right.
“Mo Ziyang… you’re not really upset, are you?”
In the end, she didn’t walk out of the bathroom. Instead, she tugged at his shirt with some worry.
“I mean… it can’t happen now, but in the future there’ll definitely be a chance…”
“Sigh… it’s fine. Go ahead. Too bad, I even bought tickets for a beach trip during the holiday.”
“……”
Hearing that, Lin Muxi froze for a moment. Her heart was suddenly filled with mixed feelings. She didn’t know what to say.
Thinking back to this past week, even though they hadn’t been playing together as much as before, he still cared for her in every way like always.
And now, hearing his words and seeing his disappointed face, her little stubbornness instantly melted away.
Clearly, after everything he had done for her, this small request wasn’t too much at all. And just earlier, she had admitted to herself that he was her boyfriend.
But, but…
Lin Muxi turned her head and looked at her tiny bathroom. She still couldn’t fully accept it.
“Can’t we just do it next time…”
“Next time then, no problem.”
Watching the little kitten slowly fall into his trap, Mo Ziyang didn’t rush to catch her. Instead, he put on a lonely, helpless expression, step by step luring this silly girl closer to the “abyss.”
“Mo Ziyang…”
Faced with a bro who always treated her so kindly, Lin Muxi was torn between her pride and him. On one hand, she didn’t want to disappoint him. On the other hand, she couldn’t accept bathing together, because it made her feel way too embarrassed.
“What are you spacing out for again?”
Her train of thought was broken by his voice urging her to leave.
Lin Muxi, oh Lin Muxi, think about how much he always cares for you.
Can you really treat Mo Ziyang like this without feeling guilty?
After struggling in her mind for a while, Lin Muxi finally gave in. She glanced at him, then walked over, closed the bathroom door again, and whispered,
“It’s just a bath… fine, I’ll keep you company.”
Blushing, she lowered her head and gave him a little push, urging him to hurry up. After all, she had already agreed, why was he still standing there?
Seeing this, Mo Ziyang finally showed a sly smile of success. Not long after, the sound of running water and playful noises filled the bathroom as the two of them messed around inside.
“Move over a bit… there’s no space left.”
“Ah… sorry.”
“Hey! You bumped into me!”
“Well, your bathroom is this small… I can’t help it. Just bear with it.”
“You make it sound like it’s my fault! And why is yours so big anyway? Move it away!”
“I can’t control that…”
“Then at least turn around! Don’t wave that thing in front of me!”
“Okay, okay, fine…”
But when Lin Muxi saw the pained look on his face, she changed her mind.
“Turn back around.”
“What now? Didn’t you just tell me to turn away?”
“Stop talking so much. Just do it.”
He didn’t understand what she was planning, but with no choice, he turned back.
“Don’t… don’t move. Or else I’ll ignore you from now on.”
“Lin Muxi, you—?!”
“Shut up! Don’t say a word.”
“……”
When the bathroom door finally opened again, Mo Ziyang came out first with a bright, refreshed smile.
Even the tiredness from studying these past few days seemed to have melted away.
Tsk… this unexpected bonus felt way too good.
He had thought it would just be a bath with his silly girl, but he hadn’t expected such “special care” from her.
Mo Ziyang looked relaxed, but behind him, Lin Muxi looked completely different. She followed with her head down, like a little steamy robot.
Wuwuwu… what had she just done?!
Looking at her pale, slender hands, she felt disgust rise in her heart. She had lost control and actually used her hand to “massage” her buddy. Her hand was even covered…
Now… she wasn’t clean anymore…
“What’s wrong? Why so down?”
Mo Ziyang turned back, gently rubbed her head, then lifted her in a princess carry and asked softly.
“You still dare to ask?!”
“Hahaha, alright, alright, I won’t say anything. Let’s go dry your hair.”
Seeing Lin Muxi pounding angrily on his chest, Mo Ziyang couldn’t help but laugh.
“I’m telling you… this was only once. Even if you beg me next time, I won’t agree.”
“Yes, yes, my dear wife.”
