Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hearing his murmurs, Xu Jiaojiao could no longer hold back her tears. It was as if all her grievances had exploded at this moment and she threw herself into his embrace.

Qi Shenbai put down the umbrella and hugged her tightly, letting the rain beat on their bodies.

Qi Shenbai’s clothes were also wet by now, but Xu Jiaojiao seemed to be able to feel warmth and security from him anyway.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Qi Shenbai patted her back to comfort her, but her sobs did not stop.

The two of them were drenched in the rain and gradually felt their faces turn cold.

Qi Shenbai carried Xu Jiaojiao into the car.

Looking at his drenched face, Xu Jiaojiao felt a sense of deja vu. At some point, on a rainy night, she was on the same street and saw the same car.

At the time, she crouched down in the rain. The person in the car said coldly, “Get her an umbrella .”

The heating in the car was very warm, but Xu Jiaojiao was already drenched, and her body was still cold.

Qi Shenbai carefully rubbed her hands to warm her up.

Xu Jiaojiao curled up in his arms like a frightened little bird.

“It’s alright, it’s alright now. Don’t worry, I’m here,” Qi Shenbai muttered.

They returned to Qingshui Villa.

Qi Shenbai carried her into the bathroom and placed her body in the bathtub. He even filled the bathtub with hot water and put in shower gel. The bathtub had a jacuzzi function. Under the gentle waves, the shower gel turned into thick bubbles that enveloped Xu Jiaojiao’s body.

Then, Qi Shenbai got up and went to Xu Jiaojiao’s room. He took her pajamas and placed them on the clothes rack in the bathroom. “Change into your clothes after taking a shower. You can soak in the bath for a while. I’ll go out.”

Qi Shenbai turned around, only to be grabbed by a small hand. That small hand seemed to have no color.

“You don’t want to be alone?” Qi Shenbai muttered. Only then did he realize that Xu Jiaojiao was still wearing her clothes in the bathtub.

“Shall I help you undress?” Qi Shenbai asked tentatively. Xu Jiaojiao nodded her head gently. She was crying so hard that she seemed to have no strength left to stand, let alone undress herself.

With Xu Jiaojiao’s consent, Qi Shenbai fumbled under the bubbles to help her undress…

He took her clothes off one by one, throwing them into the dirty laundry basket. Next, he brought a dry towel and wiped her wet hair.

His hands were not as smooth and tender as she had imagined. In fact, they even had calluses. However, every time he ran his hands through her hair and down her face, it was like a child’s caress, soothing Xu Jiaojiao’s tense nerves.

She was still biting her lips. She had bitten through the skin in a few places and even bled.

“Stop that,” Qi Shenbai said and kissed her. “If you want to bite something, bite me.” His heart ached as he kissed her and warmed her until she slowly loosened her teeth and wrapped her arms around his neck in a passionate response.

When Xu Zhengyang and the others received the news, they quickly rushed to Qingshui Villa.

Qi Shenbai ordered the cook to make ginger tea for Xu Jiaojiao to warm her up. Although it was summer, she had been drenched in the rain for too long, so he was afraid that she would fall sick.

“Where’s Jiaojiao?” Xu Zhengyang was worried and asked about Xu Jiaojiao as soon as he came in.

“She’s resting in the bedroom.” Qi Shenbai met Xu Zhengyang’s worried gaze.

“I’ll go up and see her,” Xu Zhengyang said as he walked upstairs. “Wait a minute. She doesn’t want anyone to disturb her.” Qi Shenbai stopped him halfway up.

“Did she say that?” Xu Zhengyang asked in a daze.

“Mm.” Xu Jiaojiao did not say anything, but he knew.

“Then forget it.” Xu Zhengyang turned around and came back. His pants were still dripping with rain. All three of them had gotten drenched after searching for Xu Jiaojiao in the rain.

“Hurry up and change your clothes!” Qi Shenbai said as he asked the butler to bring them to the guest room.

Xu Zhengyang changed into Qi Shenbai’s clothes. Previously, Qi Yunduo had brought some of her clothes over. She and Su Luo’s figures were similar, so Su Luo wore Qi Yunduo’s clothes.

After changing, they saw Qi Shenbai carrying an empty cup downstairs.

“I gave her some ginger tea and some calming medicine. Let her have a good rest!” Qi Shenbai said as he quickly went downstairs and sat down on the couch.

Xu Zhengyang was still worried. His eyes were filled with anxiety, but he said nonetheless, “Thank you!”

“No worries.”

The butler brought over some ginger tea for Xu Zhengyang and the other two, then tactfully left. Under his knowing gaze, the servants also left.

The remaining four people sat on the sofa without saying a word.

Xu Zhengyang lay limply on the sofa and kept pressing his temples.

Su Luo lowered her head and remained silent..
