It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 376 [025] Steam Relaxation Time
In order to save water, the Japanese bathhouse Qin Jiandan was taken to was relatively narrow, and usually only Xiaoxia and Fengjian used it. The space was filled with steam and the sound of water gurgling. Xiaoxia, Fengjian, and Qin Jiandan experienced the tranquility of bathing together.

"Hehehe... It's so comfortable to take a bath after dinner. I feel like all the fatigue from handling government affairs is gone!"

Xiao Xia leaned on the edge of the pool, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the warmth brought by the steam. After her ponytail was untied, her natural curly red hair looked even more fluffy in the steam. The skin on her shoulders was slightly pink due to the hot water.

"Miss, you used the excuse of toothache to sleep all day and never dealt with any government affairs."

At the other corner of the pool, the silver-haired girl had already taken off her glasses and placed them on a stone platform. Fengjian's skin looked even whiter in the water vapor, and her silver pupils reflected the faint light on the water surface.

Fengjian gently wiped her arms with a towel, keeping them parallel to the water surface to save energy. She occasionally looked up at the misty ceiling, as if she was thinking about some profound puzzle.

Because of the affair with Vale, Qin Jiandan was expelled from the inner city by the sheriff, and he did a lot of self-examination. The purpose of this bath together was just to save water, and Qin Jiandan asked everyone to wear swimsuits.

When the Falling Cherry Blossoms played in the water in the summer, Fengjian wore a navy blue one-piece student swimsuit commonly known as "dead pool water", and it was the same this time. Although the style is conservative, it can better highlight the whiteness of her limbs. After taking off her glasses, Fengjian looks younger and quite lovable.

Xiao Xia chose a bright orange and white bikini with playful wavy lace edges. She did not use a towel to wipe her body, but folded it over her head and shoulders, enjoying the hot pool as a spa.

Qin Jiandan also let down his guard in the bathhouse. Sitting in one of the four corners of the bathhouse, his muscles slowly relaxed in the hot water, feeling every inch of his skin stretching in the water.

Because the bathhouse was narrow, Qin Jiandan was tall and had long legs, so it was inevitable that he would touch Xiaoxia or Fengjian's feet. They were soft and warm, so delicate that they seemed to melt at the touch. If the other party's reaction was to remain motionless, it was Fengjian who was touched. If the reaction was playful and lively, it was Xiaoxia who was touched.

"Walei knows we are here, right?" Qin Jiandan said, "Tell her to come over and take a bath after dinner. There is still room for one person."

"I've sent someone to notify Vale." Fengjian's sideburns were not symmetrical, and the tip of his long hair on the left side was wet. "I'll finish washing it as soon as possible and give her some room to flutter around."

Kazama didn't seem to want to take a bath with Vale. After all, Huskies and the like wouldn't behave themselves in a bathhouse.

"What? Vale is coming too?" Xiao Xia said dissatisfiedly, "I have the young master, that's enough. The dog should be washed with the oysters!"

As Xiao Xia spoke, she moved closer to Qin Jiandan without permission. Qin Jiandan pushed Xiao Xia's face away without even looking at her, causing a small splash on the water.

"Fortunately, it's on the right side of my face. The wisdom tooth on the left side still hurts!" Xiao Xia made a hurt expression, her eyes moist, "Young Master has no sympathy for women!"

Qin Jiandan closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the air in the bathhouse with a slight smell of sulfur.

"Just take a bath and don't disturb me while I'm planning important matters for the guild."

Xiao Xia pouted and refused to accept it. Feng Jian kicked her with his foot under the water and said:
"Young Master, what you mean is that female subordinates only need to consider how to seduce their male superiors, but male superiors have to consider many things..."

"Kazama, stop making sarcastic remarks!"

The sound of water and steam formed a peaceful world, temporarily isolating the noise from the outside world. In this small yet infinitely wide space, Qin Jiandan felt that his mind had gained a brief peace and release.

Xiao Xia felt bored and started splashing water at Feng Jian again, but Feng Jian fought back by throwing a wet towel on her face.

"It hurts..." Xiao Xia covered her nose and suddenly remembered something: "What energy does this bathhouse use to heat water? Solar energy? Why can it use solar energy in the evening?"

In fact, the secret room where Fengjian stored the data server was not far away. Because the heat generated by data calculation was very high, it could be used to assist in boiling water. But Xiaoxia didn't know this.

"Even if I tell you, the lady won't be able to remember it." Fengjian said as he turned over in the water a little clumsily, and the waves pushed him towards Qin Jiandan.

The swimsuit loli held onto the edge of the stone platform and left the pool, holding a towel in her left hand and picking up her glasses with her right hand. As she moved, water drops rolled down the fabric of the swimsuit, as if morning dew was gently sliding down from new seedlings. The navy blue swimsuit looked even darker against the water drops, forming a sharp contrast with her fair skin, making her skin look even more delicate and the water drops even more glittering.

"Master, I'm done. Let me go first."

When she stepped out of the pool, a puddle of water immediately formed on the floor beneath her feet. She walked carefully, and her cautious look of fear of slipping made her look even more adorable. Fengjian's silver hair looked even softer because it was wet, and a few strands of hair stuck to her cheeks. Water droplets gently slid down her hair, meandering down along the curve of her body, and finally returned to the puddle of water on the ground.

With every small step she took, new drops of water dripped from her toes and calves, like dancing notes, playing a light waterside tune. With the embellishment of water drops, Fengjian's figure has both childlike innocence and a hint of girlish shyness, like a natural dance, which makes people involuntarily attracted by her cuteness and cuteness.

When Qin Jiandan thought that, in name only, Fengjian was also the "concubine" that his master had married for him, he felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

However, just as Feng Jian's back disappeared from the bathhouse, a female voice that was so cheerful that it was out of line shouted out, and the voice was heard before the face was seen:
"You're taking a bath here without my knowledge!? Hurry up and make room for me!" Who else could it be but Vale? She quickly ran into the bathhouse and leaped into the air without thinking of the consequences. Her brown skin looked even smoother and more lustrous in the light of the water, like a black diamond shining with a healthy glow.

"thump!"

Like a depth charge, after drawing an elegant arc in the air, Vale dived into the water, splashing a large amount of water. Xiao Xia, whose foot was stepped on, screamed.

She sank underwater by inertia and instantly broke through the water. Vale shook off the water drops on her head, face, and ears, revealing a cheerful smile and smooth abdominal lines. If the pool was not narrow, she would definitely be able to use the athletic talent of the Furui people, swimming flexibly and quickly like a dolphin, turning and tumbling.

Qin Jiandan was furious: "Walei, are you deaf? Are your big dog ears just for show? Didn't they inform you of the rules for this bath?"

Vale's tail was swinging around underwater, invading Qin Jiandan's personal space. Compared with the sense of touch, the visual bombardment was more severe.

"Can you believe it? The Falling Cherry Blossom Group doesn't have swimsuits suitable for the Fury people!" Vale seemed to have returned to her natural instincts, with her husky tail swinging freely under the water, and every swing seemed so powerful and elastic.

Xiao Xia suddenly realized: "So Feng Jian left early because he expected you to come in? Get away and don't disturb the world of two between me and the young master!"

Vale started to show off: "Two or three people, I don't care! Fried eggs, don't you think?"

Qin Jiandan felt that Valei had crossed the line this time, and he restrained himself out of guilt, but Valei not only refused to cooperate but also made trouble.

"Xiao Xia, let's go and let Vale have fun on her own." Qin Jiandan stood up and walked out of the water, picking up Xiao Xia who was beside him, which made the red-haired girl flattered.

"Eh? Are you angry..." Vale calmed down a little, immersed his body under the water, and blew bubbles with his mouth.

"Anyway, just finish washing yourself first." Qin Jiandan said, "Isn't our goal to ask for Mu Yue's forgiveness? Don't be such a scumbag behind her back."

Vale seemed to suddenly come to her senses: "I'm sorry, I got carried away after eating the delicious food." She barked like a dog at Qin Jiandan's back, as if this professional behavior could express her apology:

“Woof woof, woof woof…”

Xiao Xia was picked up by Qin Jiandan's strong arms, and her heartbeat immediately accelerated. Her hands unconsciously wrapped around Qin Jiandan's neck, and her fingertips gently touched his skin, feeling his hot temperature after the bath. Xiao Xia's red hair looked softer because of the wetness, and a few strands of hair stuck to her forehead and cheeks, adding a bit of charm to the naughty girl.

Qin Jiandan didn't think too much, but felt that Xiao Xia's body was exceptionally light. He walked out of the pool steadily, and Xiao Xia's body swayed gently with his movements. Water drops slid down her pink skin, dripping onto Qin Jiandan's arms and the floor, making a slight sound.

The changing room was just a few steps away. Qin Jiandan glanced at the white T-shirt and denim shorts that Vale had thrown there haphazardly, and frowned slightly.

Xiao Xia looked up at Qin Jiandan's chin and asked gently, "Do you want to stay overnight tonight... I will accompany you."

Qin Jiandan realized that he was being teased and immediately let go. Before Xiao Xia could react, her butt made contact with the hard floor with a dull "bang" sound, which made the girl's eyebrows tightly twisted together, her mouth opened, and she let out a painful "Ah!"

"Young Master, what are you doing?" The discomfort from her buttocks made Xiao Xia look painful and embarrassed. She slowly moved her body, trying to find a more comfortable position. Her wet red hair became even more messy because of the movement.

"Huh, is it because of the sheriff? You have such a big stress reaction, isn't it a bit unreasonable for the young master? How can a man of such status still be afraid of his wife!"

Xiao Xia sat on the ground, breathing slightly, her hand gently stroking her hit buttocks, and there was a hint of resentment in her eyes as she looked at Qin Jiandan.

Qin Jiandan did not regret rejecting Xiao Xia's invitation, but he also felt sorry for Xiao Xia's failure - Xiao Xia was the leader of the Luoying Group after all, and she had taken the initiative to hand over the roster of her combatants, and she should not have failed instead.

"Next time. I still have to check Fengjian's data search results, and then go to Jiang Chouyun's site to check the work. Aren't your wisdom teeth hurting? Take care of them first."

"It doesn't matter if it's wisdom teeth or something. The closer you are to the young master, the less pain you'll feel!" Seeing Qin Jiandan's lips loosen, Xiao Xia immediately showed her expectation, "Why are you still going to the Sorrow Cloud Group so late? It's dark and you can't see anything, right? Why don't you have a comfortable night's rest first..."

"No. This concerns the entire East City. I can't just seek my own comfort. I have to go even if it's dark!"

Xiao Xia immediately changed her words: "Young Master is right! We should go and see what shameful activities the Sorrow Cloud Group is up to before it gets dark! The Falling Cherry Group can just leave Feng Jian to look after the house, and I will go to the Sorrow Cloud Group with you later, to make sure they don't serve us poorly!"
