She struggled fiercely in his grasp, wriggling and hissing, but Lin Hao held on easily, his grip gentle yet inescapable.
He lifted her effortlessly and cradled her against his chest as if she were no more than a fussy kitten.
"You need to relax," Lin Hao murmured, his tone annoyingly soothing. "It's just a bath, nothing to worry about."
Su Jiyai's meows grew frantic, her tiny blue body shaking her head wildly, trying to communicate her utter refusal.
But Lin Hao either didn't understand or didn't care.
He continued to carry her toward his room, a small smile playing on his lips as if he found her resistance cute.
Once inside his room, Lin Hao walked straight to the bathroom, never loosening his grip on Su Jiyai's struggling form.
Panic surged through her as the unmistakable sound of water being drawn into the tub filled the air.
No, no, no! This cannot happen!
