Nan He looked down and found that from his body that had been reshaped by the star power, a large amount of filth was discharged from the pores. The hair that had always been smooth and beautiful was dirty at the moment and even the sleeping mat was dirty. Nan He’s face flushed and he was so embarrassed that he couldn’t wait to dig a big hole and bury himself. He actually crawled onto Yuan Xiang’s knee with such a slimy and dirty appearance. And that person actually carried him into the bedroom and put him on the bed. Why didn’t she just throw him out to freeze to death, or throw him into the sink to wash him?

Nan He hurriedly got out of Yuan Xiang’s arm, jumped off the cushion, ran out the door in a hurry into the bathroom at the fastest speed.

Because the owner of the house, Yu Yao, liked to take a bath, the bathroom in the house was extraordinarily comfortable. It was divided into two rooms, front and back, separated by a half-person-high bamboo fence, built-in bathtub, wells near the wall and installing roller wheels, which was convenient to divert water in. There was a ditch behind, which could directly drain the bathing water. The pot and stove were built in the room to burn firewood when needed and hot water could be provided at any time. Bath towels and utensils were very convenient.

Nan He rushed into the bathroom in one breath, pulled a towel and rubbed his face. In winter, he didn’t care about the time-consuming things like boiling water and taking a bath. He turned into a human, lifted a cold well water bucket, and poured it on his head. He shook his long wet hair, watched the dark sewage run down his legs and simply sat on the edge of the water tank, pouring water on himself.

Yuan Xiang woke up soon after the warm wolf in her arms was gone.

Shi Niang had gone somewhere and Nan He was not by her side, even Wu Yuan was gone.

“Shiniang? Nan He?” Yun Xiang walked along the wooden floor of the eaves.

The sound of splashing water came from the bathroom.

The outer door of the bathroom was not closed, the floor was wet and stained, the platform was cold, there was no fire and the sound of running water came from the built-in suspended bamboo door.

“Shiniang?” Yuan Xiang opened the outer door strangely and walked in.

The double-opening bamboo door in the inner room was open at top and bottom, which could be ventilated and could slightly block the line of sight. 

Yuan Xiang first saw a pair of legs exposed under the turquoise bamboo door. The legs were slender and strong. The pale toes stepped on the dark cyan brick surface. There was water flowing down. Perhaps the well water was too cold, it scoured like jade as transparent and luminous. Yuan Xiang couldn’t help but swallow, knowing that she should withdraw, but her gaze moved upward over the top of the bamboo door and saw the long silver-white hair, wetly attached to the perfectly lined shoulder. The long-haired owner turned his face in surprise. A few strands of wet hair stuck to his cheeks, his slender eyelashes flickered and a drop of water fell.

Could men seduce in this way?

Yuan Xiang opened her mouth, felt her throat dry and the heart in her chest speeded up inexplicably.

“You… I didn’t know you were here,” she stepped out embarrassedly, tripped on the threshold and almost fell.

There was no sound of water in the room anymore and it was completely quiet. After a while, a wet silver wolf opened the door leaf, poked his head out. His ears were red and his eyes wandered. The drenched hair was twisted into strands, dripping drop by drop while he was shivering with the cold.

He was still such a small one. Didn’t they say that the Sirius who had not passed the skeletal period was not even an adult? Yuan Xiang discarded the chaotic thoughts in her heart, hurriedly found a big towel, wrapped the little wolf who took a cold bath in the winter and carried him back to the room all the way.

“Why didn’t you boil some hot water? If you couldn’t, you should have woken me up. What if you get a cold?” Yuan Xiang’s tone was unhappy, “Don’t do this next time.”

“I’m in good health and won’t get sick,” the wet fur ball wrapped in a towel made a muffled sound.

“I won’t do this next time,” he added in a low voice and the ending sounded a little bit cute and quietly brought a hint of happiness to Yuan Xiang.

Yuan Xiang took him into the warm room, spread a thick towel on the table and wiped him carefully, not even letting go of the inside of his ears or the base of his tail.

Nan He laid silently on the towel, forcing himself to endure the tingling from his ears and tail. Those areas were full of rich nerves and were too sensitive. If this continued, the whole body would become soft.

He should stop her quickly.

The finger reached into his ear and began to fiddle with the fine fluff there. An electric current passed through Nan He’s limbs, passing through the apex of his heart, causing him to shudder slightly. He should stop her, or jump up and escape. He didn’t know why, it was hard to bear it, but he was still expectant. Some suffering, some happiness. Although he hadn’t completely passed the skeletal period, Nan He suddenly noticed some unfamiliar changes in his body. He laid on the towel and did not dare to move.

Yuan Xiang dried the little wolf thoroughly, took out the comb that had not been used for a long time and carefully combed his hair from root to end. The little wolf was particularly well-behaved, lying there motionless with his eyes wet and occasionally moaning with a little babish sound, which made her heart melt.

“Is the skeletal period always so painful?” She was very distressed when she remembered what happened the previous night.

“It is painful to receive star power for the first time and there won’t be anything serious later.”

Of course, it was not that easy but with someone who could accompany him and a place to stay at ease, the skeletal period did not look as daunting as before.
