Life countdown begins, ice queen bursts into security room

Shen Nian threw herself against Jiang Fan's chest, her pajamas neckline slipping down to her shoulders.

She frantically tried to cover it, but Jiang Fan grabbed her wrist.

"What are you still blocking?"

Jiang Fan's fingers slid inside, and Shen Nian trembled all over, her waist involuntarily shrinking.

"You...get up."

Jiang Fan ignored her and looked up to kiss her.

Shen Nian's resistance lasted only a few seconds.

She tilted her head back, biting her lip, and braced herself against the back of the sofa, but couldn't get any leverage.

The sofa springs creaked and groaned.

Jiang Fan carried her to a different spot halfway through, moving her from the sofa to the bedroom.

-

Late at night.

Shen Nian lay sprawled in the middle of the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Her hair was scattered all over the pillow, her bangs were stuck to her forehead with sweat, and the rise and fall of her chest hadn't calmed down yet.

Jiang Fan lay on his side next to her, with one hand on her waist.

She paused for a few minutes, then rolled over and tried to get up.

My legs went weak, and I fell back down.

I tried again, supporting myself on my arms, and managed to sit up.

Then she looked down at herself.

A water stain ran down the middle of the dark blue sheet, spreading outwards from under her, covering a considerable area.

Shen Nian's face flushed instantly.

I froze there, my mind buzzing.

She subconsciously raised her hand to cover her face, and through her fingers she glimpsed Jiang Fan propping his head up and looking at her.

Although his lips didn't move, his eyes were full of smiles.

Shen Nian wished she could smother herself in her pillow.

She abruptly threw off the covers and got out of bed. Her movements were so sudden that her legs wouldn't obey her commands, and her knees buckled, almost causing her to kneel on the floor.

He managed to steady himself by gripping the bedside table with one hand, and then turned around to pull the sheets with the other.

"Put it there, wash it tomorrow." Jiang Fan sat up.

Shen Nian didn't reply.

He rolled up the entire bed sheet and the corners of the blanket, hugged it to his arms, and walked towards the door.

Walking barefoot on the wooden floor, his gait was a little awkward, with his legs not close together.

Open the washing machine lid, stuff the whole wad of fabric inside, pour in the detergent, and press start.

As the drum started spinning, Shen Nian braced her hands on the washing machine lid, her face burning with heat for a long time.

I can recall the scene even with my eyes closed—

The fingers gripped the bedsheet, and a sound that couldn't be suppressed rose in her throat.

And that feeling of losing control in an instant, it was overwhelming, there was simply no time to react.

So embarrassing.

-

Footsteps came from the other end of the corridor.

Jiang Fan came out.

Shen Nian squatted next to the washing machine, her knees resting on her chin, her arms wrapped around her calves.

A large area of ​​his shoulders and back was exposed, with several red marks still visible.

Jiang Fan walked over, slipped his hands under her armpits, and scooped her up with a jerk.

Shen Nian went limp in his arms, her face buried against his chest, completely powerless.

"Go take a shower."

Shen Nian remained silent.

Jiang Fan half-dragged, half-carried her into the bathroom.

Turn on the shower, adjust the water temperature, and put yourself directly into the bathtub.

Shen Nian finally reacted when hot water was poured over her head.

She pushed Jiang Fan's shoulder: "You go out, I'll wash myself."

There was no progress.

Jiang Fan sat directly into the bathtub, and the water level immediately rose.

Shen Nian was forced to shrink back opposite him, her knees above the water, and she kept her head down, refusing to look at him.

Soaked hair clung to her cheeks, water droplets dripping from the ends into the water.

The only sound in the bathroom was the sound of water. Steam rose up, fogging up the glass partition.

Shen Nian finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and her muffled voice escaped from the steam.

"Just now... you did it on purpose."

"What do you mean, intentional?"

"You could have stopped first."

Seeing her both annoyed and embarrassed, Jiang Fan finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Shen Nian slapped the water, splashing water all over his face.

"You're still laughing!"

Jiang Fan wiped the water off his face, grabbed her hand, and pulled her forward.

Shen Nian's knees slid on the bottom of the bathtub, and she fell face-first into the water.

The water level swayed and overflowed the edge of the bathtub, spilling onto the floor.

"Relax—"

"It's a normal reaction, what's there to be ashamed of?"

Shen Nian turned her face away, refusing to look at him no matter what.

Jiang Fan leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"That proves I'm amazing."

Shen Nian froze for a second, her face turning red from her neck all the way to her ears.

"Have you no shame?!"

She struggled to get up, but Jiang Fan tightened his grip around her waist, pressing their bodies together.

"Let me go."

"I won't let go."

Jiang Fan's hand slid down from her waist.

The water in the bathtub started to slosh.

Shen Nian bit her lip, her fingers gripping the edge of the bathtub.

A large puddle of water had already formed on the ground.

Shen Nian couldn't hold on any longer and fell forward, her forehead resting on Jiang Fan's shoulder.

She bit his shoulder, swallowing all his words.

The water in the bathtub surged out in waves, splashing loudly on the tiles.

-

I don't know how much time has passed.

The bathroom floor was completely wet.

Shen Nian looked as if her bones had been removed, her limbs draped over Jiang Fan, completely motionless.

The water was getting cold.

Jiang Fan pulled her out of the water and wrapped her tightly in a bath towel.

Shen Nian's legs really couldn't hold her up anymore, so he carried her out of the bathroom in his arms.

As I passed the balcony, the washing machine had just finished its last cycle and was beeping.

Jiang Fan placed her on a chair next to the bed in the bedroom and took out a spare sheet from the closet to make the bed.

Then he stuffed Shen Nian, along with a bath towel, into the bed.

Shen Nian huddled under the covers, only her eyes and half her nose showing.

She stared at Jiang Fan for a while, her voice muffled.

"Go and hang the sheets out of the washing machine to dry."

"OK."

"Then mop up the water on the bathroom floor."

"OK."

Shen Nian pulled the blanket over her head and buried herself completely in it.

Jiang Fan bent down and patted the bulge in the blanket before turning around and going out to work.

A muffled sound came from under the covers:

"rogue."

-

The bed sheets were hanging on the balcony, and it took two mops to clean the water in the bathroom.

It was almost midnight when I finished cleaning up.

Jiang Fan turned off the living room light and went into the bedroom.

Shen Nian was already asleep.

The bath towel was wrapped loosely, with half of her arm sticking out from under the blanket and her hand resting on the pillow.

He crawled into bed.

Shen Nian groggily snuggled closer to him, pressing her back against his chest, arching her back a couple of times, and finding a comfortable position to stay still.

Jiang Fan placed his arm under her neck and his other hand on her waist.

As I closed my eyes, my consciousness had just begun to sink a little when a line of familiar words appeared before me.

[Deep Compatibility x3, Lifespan +1500]

Current lifespan: 37900 points

[Remaining lifespan: 119 days]

The person next to me was breathing evenly and deeply, and their body smelled of shower gel.

The scenes from today's visit to the welfare home flashed through my mind again.

Shen Nian said she would build them a new building.

She doesn't need to cover it.

He came.
