Chapter 21: Nosebleed

  "Is it okay?" Su Xiaofan asked aloud after hearing the sound of splashing water.

  "Alright." Xiao Yimo soaked in the water, comfortably using his hands to scoop up water and wipe his arms.

  Su Xiaofan turned around and walked forward, moving Xiao Yimeng's clothes to one side, then prepared to take off her own clothes.

  "What are you doing?" Xiao Yimeng furrowed his brow and stared at her hands that were about to untie her own belt, asking out loud in surprise.

  "Take off your clothes." Leng Mo Li glanced at him lightly and lowered his head to continue with the action in his hand.

  "What's with taking off your clothes?" Xiao Yimeng had a bad premonition, could it be that this woman really intended to come in and bathe together with him?

  "It's natural to take off your clothes when taking a bath, what's so strange about it." Su Xiaofan gave him a white eye and quickly took off her thin outerwear, revealing only a pink patched undershirt inside.

  Xiao Yimò quickly turned around, her back to Su Xiaofan's direction, and shouted: "You woman really don't understand what shame is?"

  Su Xiaofan directly ignored him, put down the clothes in her hand, and slowly stepped into the bathtub.

  "Come on, sister will help you take a bath." Su Xiaofan took a towel placed on the edge of the bathtub and prepared to wipe his body.

  "No need, I'll wash it myself." Xiao Yimeng's face turned red and his ears were burning. Being so close to a woman's body at such a close distance was still a first for him.

  "Stop being stubborn, come here, baby." Su Xiao Fan saw that he was still facing away from her, refusing to budge an inch. She could only go over herself and moved a few steps in his direction, then wrapped his small body in her arms and cooed softly: "Good boy, stop being stubborn, we need to finish washing up before we can sleep. By the way, you must be tired from walking today, do you want your sister to give you a foot massage?"

  Feeling the body stuck to his back, Xiao Yimeng's face instantly turned blood red, and even his pale skin was faintly glowing with a reddish light. He said in a low voice: "Woman, get out of here, don't hug Young Master."

  Su Xiaofan looked at his bright red little ears and thought it was funny, couldn't help but reach out to touch them, while touching and praising: "Wow, little treasure, your ears feel so comfortable."

  Xiao Yimeng's heart was already filled with the desire to die, had he been toyed with by a woman?

  Although this woman may be her future daughter-in-law, she doesn't know if there will be a day when things return to normal. Although the initial goal was to keep her by his side, since he wants to continue like this, he also wants to pull her along and have her accompany him all the time. However, after just a few days of contact, his feelings towards her started to become very strange, and he can't quite put into words what that strange feeling is...

  "You'd better wash yourself clean, you stink." Xiao Yimeng didn't want to be held like this all the time. Even though he was in a child's body now, who knows if his desires would be stirred up or not.

  "Really?" Su Xiaofan looked at herself in confusion, Grandma had said it didn't stink, and her skin looked fairly fair, although it was much worse than Little Treasure's.

  "Alright then, I'll go wash myself first. Wait for me, little treasure." Su Xiao Fan let out a huff and released her hand, retreating back to start washing herself seriously.

  Xiao Yimeng's face remained red as he carefully washed his body with water, making sure to finish before she did, then left the bathtub.

  Su Xiaofan said softly in response to his movements: "Don't be impatient, take a bath first, I'll be fine soon."

  "No need, I can wash it myself." Xiao Yimeng replied in a low tone.

  "Little treasure, aren't you shy?" Su Xiaofan blinked her eyes. Such a small child, hadn't his mother ever bathed him?

  "Who would be shy?" Xiao Yimeng turned her head in annoyance, glaring at her. But just as she turned her head, she suddenly felt a rush of blood and something hot and pungent dripping from the tip of her nose. Why did she look so thin and malnourished, yet still had a good figure?

  Su Xiaofan watched as the nosebleed dripped from his nostrils, anxiously dropping the towel in his hand, hastily rushing forward, and nervously saying: "Little treasure, what's wrong with you? Quickly lift your head up, and also raise this hand."

  Xiao Yimò silently sniffled, it was really too embarrassing, although it was the first time seeing a woman's body and all...

  "Is it better?" Su Xiao Fan gently washed away the remaining bloodstain on his nose tip with water, asking anxiously as if she had also often had nosebleeds when she was young.

  "Alright, nothing's wrong." Xiao Yimeng said in a muffled tone, from now on no matter what he absolutely would not take a bath with her again.

  "Really? Maybe it's because today's chicken soup was too nourishing?" Su Xiaofan furrowed her brow in thought.

  Xiao Yi Mo took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He was just a little kid, only six years old, so it didn't matter. Other kids his age weren't helped by their mothers or sisters when bathing, were they?

  So there's no need to be nervous, Su Xiaofan won't know why she'll have a nosebleed.

  "Alright, have you brought me clothes? I've finished washing." Suddenly, Xiao Yi Mo remembered a very serious problem - when she came here, it seemed that she had only carried herself and hadn't brought any spare clothes for herself or her companion.

  "Hmm..." Su Xiao Fan turned his head, looking at the pile of dirty clothes with a tangled mind. Just now, he was so focused on bringing him here that he completely forgot about getting a change of clothes.

  "What's going on?" Xiao Yimiao frowned at her, wasn't she telling him to walk into the room naked and get dressed?

  Just then, from inside the courtyard came the voice of Ye Shi: "Fang'er, you two still haven't finished washing up?"

  Like grabbing a lifesaving straw, Su Xiaofan excitedly shouted out loud towards the outside: "Grandma, I forgot to bring clothes, can you help me get some clean clothes and also baby's clothes?"

  "Alright, wait." After pouring out the water and putting the bucket back in the kitchen, Ye Shi turned around and entered Su Xiaofan's room.

  Su Xiaofan began to seriously wash her own body and hair, although there was no soap or other things, but washing a bit was better than not washing at all, she could buy those things later when she had money.

  After Ye Shi brought the clothes, Su Xiaofan used a worn but clean towel to wrap her wet hair back and quickly put on her own clothes.

  "Should I help you get dressed?" Su Xiao Fan asked uncertainly, after all, he didn't even let himself undress him just now.

  "It's alright, I'll handle it myself." Xiao Yimeng said in a sulky tone, still upset about the nosebleed earlier.
