14. Night Talk (1)

Yu Qingjia was taken aback, and looked back at him in amazement, “Why not?”

Murong Yan’s face was tense, but a tinge of red slowly crept up on the tips of his ears, “You, you are a girl… Forget it, anyway, You’re not allowed to wash.”

Yu Qingjia really had enough of him, “I wanted to help you apply medicine you said no, now I want to take a bath you also said no. I’m not allowed to do this, I’m not allowed to do that, What exactly do you want me to do?”

Murong Yan could not say anything for a long time. The reason why he only rented one room was to cover up his identity as a man. That’s because having two women sleep in two different rooms on the road is too suspicious, he can not risk being noticed now. But if he had known that he would encounter this situation, he should have risked and asked for two rooms instead.

Yu Qingjia’s eyes were extremely round, but the ends of her eyes were slightly upturned, and she did not appear fierce at all even when she was angry, but instead she gave off a delicate and charming sense of beauty. At this time, the room is filled with heat, and the bathtub not far away is emitting steam, and the water mist slowly condensed, it was obvious what will happen here after.

Murong Yan couldn’t stay any longer, and said, “I have something to do. I’m going out.”

Then he quickly swept past Yu Qingjia’s shoulder in a flash.

The door of the room was slammed open and closed vigorously, Yu Qingjia stared at the still shaking window paper, muttering to herself, “Why is she so weird?”

Although Murong Yan said that he had something to do. The shopkeeper has not yet bought the curtain hats, so he can’t really go too far. He can only lean on the corner of the house behind the corridor pillar, with his eyes drifting to stare at their room door.

In fact, with his skills, he could have avoided people’s line of sight and gone to the backyard to move his body, but he looked at the door with only a thin layer of bolts, and finally did not go far. Their appearance in the inn caused quite a stir. So a lot of people knew which room they live in. Even if the door is closed, there is no guarantee that some people will not give birth to some evil intentions. In the eyes of those who are interested, what is that thin line of door bolts?

In the end, Murong Yan is still uneasy, just like when he left the cave today. If he really wanted to leave Yu Qingjia behind, how could she still catch up? He did not want to guard the door, this behavior was too stupid. It’s as if he cared about her too much, so he decided to look for an unobtrusive corner, and glanced at the door from afar.

Murong Yan always felt that he could faintly hear the sound of water, so he moved back three times, the sound of water ruffling in the house seemed to linger in his ears. He tilted his head and coughed lightly, the tips of his ears unconsciously turned red.

‘It’s just a bath, what’s taking her too long?’

He waited for a long time irritatedly, and obviously heard the rattling of the packages inside. So he moved back slowly, put his hand on the door and gently pushed it open.

Murong Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then he didn’t know what to say, “Why is the door unlocked?”

Yu Qingjia turned around at the sound of his voice, she was only in her midriff, while her body was covered in mist, her hair was meekly resting behind her, her cheeks were moist, and eyes were dark and bright. The whole person was light and clear after all she was just out of the bath. Murong Yan did not expect that when he pushed the door open he would instantly be exposed to such a scene. His fingers immediately stiffened, and pupils unconsciously dilated. After a moment, he quickly averted his eyes, and slammed the door shut with one hand.

“I was worried that you might wait outside for a long time, so I opened the door bolt after I finished washing. You’ve been out for a while, what have you been up to?”

Murong Yan stood stiffly in front of the door, his spine almost pressed against it and the window. He inclined his head to look at the other side, his eyes were dead set on the ground, and his mouth made up a random excuse, “I went out to check the terrain.”

Yu Qingjia believed it and gave an “Oh“. Although the vixen is not a good person but as a companion she still felt very safe around her. Yu Qingjia gathered all the things for bathing and asked casually, “Vixen, do you want to take a bath? I had the shopkeeper boil two portions of water earlier.”

The cold hairs on Murong Yan’s body were about to explode, “No.”

“Then do you want to change your bandage? I can—”

“No.”

Yu Qingjia sighed after getting rejected one after another. She then lowered her voice and asked, “Then can you help me wipe my hair? It used to be Bai Zhi who helped me wipe it, but now that she’s not here, I can’t reach it…”

Murong Yan finally looked back, his eyes stunned, “You need help to wipe your hair?”

“My hair is too long, I can’t reach it alone. If it does not dry through, Bai Zhi won’t usually let me sleep. She said it will cause a headache if I sleep with it wet…”

How could Prince Langya, the grandson of Emperor Mingwu, who has the title of a Prince, and owns his own territory at the age of ten, wipe her hair? He refused without even thinking about it, “It doesn’t matter, your headache has nothing to do with me.”

Yu Qingjia pursed her lips and glared at Murong Yan. She then sat on the couch by herself, and strenuously raised her hands to wipe her long hair. Since Yu Qingjia had her body turned away it made it difficult for her to see. So she would frequently knock the tooth comb mirror and other objects to the ground. Murong Yan was so harassed by the clanging sound that he couldn’t take it anymore. He picked up a piece of pure white dry cloth next to her, and angrily threw it on Yu Qingjia’s head, “Forget it. You’re too stupid.”

Yu Qingjia was caught unaware and immediately flung herself to rip the cotton cloth off her head. She was struggling when she suddenly felt a person sitting behind her, and then her hair was held by another force, “Don’t move.”

She slowly quieted down and gave a soft, “Hmm.”

The young girl who had just gotten out of the bath was wearing a large midriff, and when she sat down, her folds were fluffy, her shoulders were thin, and her long, white slender neck was gilded with a jade-like softness from the candlelight. There was a young person sitting behind her. He had exquisite brows with eyes full of impatience, but his hands were still carefully twisting her hair inch-by-inch.

“Hey…”

“Stop Moving.”

“But you’re pulling my hair!”

…After a series of chicken and dogs fighting. The two were finally all cleaned up and the shopkeeper carried the bathtub and other things out, it was long past curfew for bedtime..

But Murong Yan discovered a more embarrassing thing…

How are they going to sleep? There was only one bed in the room, and the bed was big enough for the both of them, but he couldn’t just sleep beside Yu Qingjia, could he?

(T/N: Yes you could~)
