Qin Youbei chuckled nonchalantly and stood up to leave. Midway, she doubled back: "Don't bully Ergou, and… I really checked, Ergou is a female cat!"
Gu Xiao abruptly stood up, staring at her with a fierce presence.
Startled, Qin Youbei was ready to run, but after just a couple of steps, she was scooped up in a horizontal hold from behind.
"What are you doing?"
"Bathing!" he said softly, two words hanging in the air.
Qin Youbei's voice trembled as she spoke, sensing that a certain man had ulterior motives, "Right… I need to bathe, so you should put me down."
"I'll help you." Gu Xiao's gaze was intense as he looked at her, his voice as tender as water.
But Qin Youbei could only feel insidious, unspeakable insidiousness: "No need, I have hands and feet, I can manage on my own."
Gu Xiao then said, "But my arms are getting sore holding you, so you wash me!"
Qin Youbei: "..."
You think your arms are sore, you could just put me down right now, why keep holding me...
