Warm medicine emits fragrance

Fan Liuer had a very fruitful day and was in a very happy mood.

This pleasant feeling lasted until nightfall, when a group of people came to help her bathe, and her excitement subsided.

Those silks, satins, and jewels that filled the room weren't taken for nothing; it was time for her to give herself to them.

When she was washed clean, wrapped up tightly, and sent into Li Chenbi's room, she immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Logically speaking, now that it's nighttime and the outside temperature has dropped, Li Chenbi's room should be even cooler.

But tonight was much better than usual; it wasn't as cold as usual.

She looked up in confusion at the person sitting on the bed, who was looking at her impatiently. "What are you standing there for? Come over here."

Li Chenbi is currently very hot and in a very bad mood.

Fan Liuer could tell he was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to delay and quickly walked over.

However, she was still too slow. Before she could stand still, Li Chenbi ripped off the thick outer garment she was wearing, revealing her body covered only by her inner garment.

"Ah!" she exclaimed in surprise. Before she could react, her arm tightened and she was pulled towards Li Chenbi.

She sat firmly in his lap.

The cool body pressed against him, relieving the heat in Li Chenbi's body. He held her tighter, buried his face in her neck, and took a deep sniff before speaking with satisfaction, "Why are you so long-winded?"

Fearing that the room was too cold and she might catch a chill, he had some ice removed from the room as soon as the sun went down, leaving only a little to maintain a slightly lower temperature.

As it turned out, this person was really long-winded and took so long to arrive, which made him feel irritable in the heat.

Fan Liuer was held tightly in his arms, feeling the warmth emanating from his body, which was quite comfortable.

When people feel comfortable, they tend to become lazy. Besides, Li Chenbi is no longer a threat to her now, so she is no longer intimidated by his accusations and lazily says, "It's just that Second Master's demands are too high."

"I have to take two showers. I just showered this morning, so I'm not dirty at all."

Li Chenbi lifted his head from her neck and looked at her. "So, is it because I'm making a fuss?"

Fan Liuer immediately coaxed softly, "No, being clean is a good habit. Besides, I had a very comfortable soak, and they even sprinkled flower petals on me. It smells wonderful." As she spoke, she reached her hand under Li Chenbi's nose in a flattering manner.

"Smell it, it's made with jasmine flowers."

Li Chenbi smelled it as soon as he buried his face in her neck; it was a faint fragrance, with a hint of jasmine.

Strangely enough, Li Chenbi doesn't usually like these floral scents; he finds even slightly strong scents cloying.

But he quite liked the fragrance coming from Fan Liuer.

Whether it was her previous fragrance or this jasmine scent now.

Could it be that because she was cool, the fragrance was also cooled down, making it smell better than others?

Unable to understand, and too lazy to think about it anymore, Li Chenbi tightened his grip on the man and asked, "Do you know what we're supposed to do today?"

Fan Liuer nodded, but her face flushed again as she thought of the booklets that Yang Niangzi had brought in the evening.

She had just finished dinner and was about to take a walk to digest her food when Yang Niangzi dragged her into the house and stuffed a stack of picture books into her hands.

"You have to read all of these."

Fan Liuer turned a page, and what appeared were two pale, naked figures. Embarrassed, she immediately closed the picture book.

"Okay, I'll check it."

Madam Yang, however, insisted, "What do you mean 'watch'? Watch it now! I'll stay here with you. If you don't understand anything, just ask me, and I'll answer your questions."

This... is a little embarrassing.

But Fan Liuer dared not disobey, and could only blush as she opened the picture book.

Madam Yang truly kept her word. Not only did she accompany her through the entire tour, but she also explained everything to her one by one. If they weren't both women, Fan Liu'er would have thought that Madam Yang would have personally stepped in to teach her.

When Madam Yang left, Fan Liuer felt that all the rumors she had heard before were child's play.

Some of the actions were things she had never even imagined could be done that way.

Now, when Li Chenbi asks her a question, all she can think of are the pictures in the album.

She kept changing her mind, and before she even started doing anything, her face was already bright red.

Li Chenbi had been staring at her, noticing the changes in her expression. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Fan Liuer buried her face in his chest, "I didn't think about anything, we're going to do it, let's do it quickly."

Li Chenbi: "..."

What started as a romantic thought was shattered by her.

He couldn't stand Fan Liuer's nonchalant attitude, so he pulled her face out of his arms.

"I don't know how, you do it." He said this with such confidence that it shocked Fan Liuer.

"ah???"

"What do you mean, 'huh'?" Li Chenbi glared at her. "Weren't you married before? Didn't anyone teach you how to behave before you got married?"

At this point, he felt uneasy again and said irritably, "Fan Liuer, you really have no temper at all. You just let yourself be slaughtered. You'll marry anyone you're told to?"

"Luckily, your short-lived husband died at the right time. If he hadn't died, you would have been starving and freezing if you had stayed with him. I wonder how you would have survived."

He looked at her with a disappointed expression, which only made Fan Liuer more and more confused.

Why are they suddenly lecturing her?

Besides, is marriage a decision a woman can make on her own? He's a man; he simply doesn't understand the difficulties women face.

Fan Liuer was somewhat unconvinced and looked at her, "Then, Second Master, what do you think I should have done back then?"

Her question stumped Li Chenbi. He put himself in her shoes and thought about it. What could a penniless, weak woman with an illness do but follow her family's arrangements?

Running away from home?

Putting aside whether she has the money to leave home, she is so attractive that she will probably be targeted by people soon after leaving home.

But the words have already been spoken, and now he can't bring himself to admit that what he said was unreasonable.

His brow furrowed, and he said impatiently, "Aren't you going to start? You're so slow and inefficient."

Fan Liuer: "..."

So angry that her mind went blank, she bit him in a fit of rage.

She bit his lip.

This person's words are so awful and annoying; it would be best to bite his mouth so he can never speak again.

She used some force, and this bite really hurt Li Chenbi.

But he couldn't care less about crying out in pain. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was overwhelmed by that icy touch, and his mouth was filled with that sweet aroma.

As the heat in his body subsided, he felt comfortable and couldn't help but respond, demanding and taking control.

As their breaths mingled, he thought to himself.

Why would a grown man like him argue with a woman?

This time, I'll let her off this time.
