How could someone be unhappy living in a matriarchal society?

Chapter 84 Bathing Together Again

Chu Ci remained silent for a moment, poured himself a cup of tea, and slowly took a sip.

After putting it down, she stared quietly at the teacup, as if she could see her own reflection in it.

After a while, Chu Ci raised her head, looked at Shi An opposite her, and said softly, "Shi An."

When Shi An heard Chu Ci call his name, he looked up and asked with some confusion, "My lady, what's wrong?"

Chu Ci smiled gently, her eyes tender, and said, "Let's take a bath together in a little while; it's been a long time since we bathed together."

Upon hearing this, Shi An's ears immediately turned bright red. She nodded shyly and replied softly, "Okay... I'll do whatever my wife says."

After dinner, Shi An went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Chu Ci ran hot water in the bathroom.

Because he has been busy with exams recently, Chu Ci has hardly had time to spend with Shi An. Now that the exams are finally over, he can relax a little.

After washing the dishes, Shi An went to the bathroom door, gently pushed it open, and went inside.

When he saw that Chu Ci was already soaking in the water, his heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Chu Ci smiled and waved to him, saying, "Come here, I want to hug you."

Shi An blushed slightly, obediently took off her clothes, hung them neatly on the clothes rack, and then walked to the edge of the bathtub, carefully stepping into the tub.

Shi An has a great figure, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, smooth lines, and fair skin that is faintly visible underwater, exuding an alluring aura.

Chu Ci's gaze unconsciously fell on Shi An, his eyes gradually becoming deep.

Shi An blushed under Chu Ci's intense gaze, "My lady, don't look at me."

Chu Ci chuckled softly and stretched out her hand, "Come, come into my arms."

Shi An hesitated for a moment, then slowly moved closer to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci pulled him into her arms and sat him on her lap, feeling his soft body and warm temperature, and felt content.

She lowered her head and gently kissed Shi An's lips.

"Let's wash our hair first."

Shi An responded softly, "Mmm..."

He sat in Chu Ci's arms, too afraid to move, his body stiff.

Chu Ci took out a soapberry, rubbed it to make foam, and carefully washed Shi An's long hair.

The man's hair was as black as raven feathers and extremely smooth, which Chu Ci greatly admired.

She gently combed through Shi An's hair with her fingers, feeling its softness and smoothness.

Shi An waited obediently. When Chu Ci told him to close his eyes, he obediently closed his eyes; when Chu Ci told him to straighten his legs, he obediently straightened his legs as well.

Like a gentle little lamb, it makes you want to cherish it.

The heat filled the room, making Shi An's cheeks even more rosy.

Looking at his adorable appearance, Chu Ci couldn't help but feel a surge of affection in her heart, and suddenly said very seriously, "Shi An, you are so beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Shi An felt extremely embarrassed, and her toes involuntarily curled up.

He threw himself into Chu Ci's arms, burying his head deep inside, not daring to lift it.

"My lady, please stop talking."

Chu Ci seemed puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like listening to it?"

Shi An shook her head, her voice even softer: "No... it's just that I love listening to it so much..."

Chu Ci suddenly realized what was going on and laughed.

She gently patted Shi An's back and said tenderly, "Then I'll tell you every day from now on."

Shi An's face turned even redder, and she hugged Chu Ci tightly, "No, I can't take it."

Chu Ci had no idea how charming she was when she sincerely praised others.

"Alright, alright, time for a shower, I won't say anything more."

Chu Ci quickly took out a soap and began to wash her hair and body.

Seeing this, Shi An also wanted to clean herself up, but Chu Ci stopped her, saying, "I'll help you wash."

Shi An, a little embarrassed, clutched the soap in her hand and said softly, "I can wash it myself..."

Chu Ci shook her head and snatched the soap from his hand. "No, I want to wash your body myself."

Upon hearing this, Shi An blushed and her heart raced. Various fantasies involuntarily surfaced in her mind, and her body also underwent some subtle changes.

He nervously touched his nose, silently praying that it wouldn't bleed again.

In fact, Chu Ci didn't have any particular intentions; she simply wanted to help Shi An "cleanse" her body.

However, due to excessive contact, Shi An's eyes had become slightly red and her gaze had become watery.

After the two finally finished showering, Chu Ci didn't let Shi An put on clothes. Instead, he wrapped him in a cloak and carried him back to the bedroom.

She carefully laid Shi An on the bed, then added some charcoal to the brazier.

Shi An wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, sat on the bed, and silently watched Chu Ci's every move, her gaze unable to leave him.

Gradually, his eyes became somewhat unfocused, and his thoughts drifted into the distance.

Now, he finally has a home of his own, a place where he can feel at ease.

Happiness, it's just so wonderful.

It was freezing cold outside, and a fierce wind was blowing, making the windows rattle loudly.

But inside the room were three blazing charcoal braziers, flames licking at the charcoal and crackling.

Heat rose from the charcoal brazier, filling the entire room and making people feel incredibly warm and comfortable.

Chu Ci was a little thirsty. She turned to look at the teapot on the table, only to find that it was empty.

So, I decided to go to the kitchen to boil some water for tea.

Just as she was about to get up, Shi An saw Chu Ci about to leave and quickly got out of bed, "My lady! Where are you going?"

Chu Ci turned around and saw that Shi An was barefoot and wanted to get down. She quickly went over and carried him back to bed. She wasn't very emotional because Shi An had been very clingy to her lately.

"I'm going to the kitchen to boil some water. Wait for me a moment."

Shi An gripped Chu Ci's sleeve tightly, looking at her, "I want to go with you too."

For some reason, he was now unwilling to be separated from Chu Ci, even for just a short while.

Chu Ci smiled and gently stroked Shi An's hair by her ear. "Okay, then you should get dressed first."

Shi An nodded, quickly put on his clothes, and followed Chu Ci to the small stove in the kitchen to brew tea.

The temperature in the kitchen was noticeably lower than in the bedroom, and Chu Ci, worried that Shi An would catch a cold, draped a thick cloak over him.

The two sat quietly in front of the small stove, waiting for the water to boil.

As time went by, it began to snow. The snowflakes fluttered down, adding a touch of poetry and romance to the cold winter.

Chu Ci sat there quietly, gazing at the snow scene outside the window, her heart at peace.

She likes this atmosphere, which allows her to clear her mind.

In her past life, her life was busy and stressful, with almost no free time.

However, this life is different.

She learned to give herself time to nourish her heart.
