Li Qiyu dawdled until ten o'clock at night. Even Song Jiaye noticed something was off and asked, "Aren't you going to take a shower?"
Normally, Li Qiyu would have already gone to sleep by this time.
"You go to sleep first, you go to sleep first." Li Qiyu forced herself to stay awake.
Of course she wanted to take a shower, but the bathroom floor was so slippery. Just thinking about it made her uncomfortable. She glanced at Song Jiaye, not knowing how to bring it up.
She had been hesitating all night.
It was only then that Song Jiaye belatedly understood.
"Having trouble moving your legs?" he mumbled. "How about I call Sister - in - law over?"
Of course, Li Qiyu had already thought of what Song Jiaye could think of. She had messaged Li Tong.
"Sister - in - law isn't at home. Brother called her out and she still hasn't come back. I guess they're having a heart - to - heart. Let's not disturb them."
Li Qiyu knew the significance of this period for Li Yuanhua. Li Yuanhua was determined to have a good communication with Ming Yuezhu and reconcile with her.
Li Qiyu had enough sense in this regard.
"Then, how about I call Aunt Jiang over?"
"Don't, don't." Li Qiyu instinctively refused. If Jiang Yongfeng came, she was afraid that instead of helping her, she would drown her in the bathtub.
However, it wasn't a solution to keep dragging on like this. Li Qiyu took several deep breaths and finally managed to speak.
"Um... could you help me into the bathroom? Just help me in." Li Qiyu was afraid that Song Jiaye would think she was an improper girl, so she raised her hand and swore, "Don't worry, I really have no romantic intentions towards you. I'm really in a difficult situation."
Song Jiaye had accompanied her to apply the medicine, so he of course knew her situation. Li Qiyu's explanation actually made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
Was he that kind of unreasonable person?
But thinking carefully about the misunderstandings he had had about Li Xiyu before.
It seemed... he really had been a bit unreasonable.
Song Jiaye lowered his head, slipped his hand through Li Qiyu's shoulder and lifted her up. But he was very gentlemanly. To avoid touching Li Qiyu's sensitive parts, the hand supporting her was always clenched tightly.
Song Jiaye helped Li Qiyu into the bathroom. Seeing that there was no place to hold on to in the bathroom, he asked Li Qiyu to hold on to the sink and stood there first. Then he went to the dining room and carried a dining chair over, placed it in the bathroom, and then asked Li Qiyu to sit on the chair.
After doing all this, just as Song Jiaye was about to leave, Li Qiyu called him.
"Um... the water."
Only then did Song Jiaye remember that in Li Qiyu's current state, she couldn't reach the showerhead at all, nor could she turn on the hot water.
Song Jiaye took the showerhead off for her and wanted to adjust the water. But as soon as the showerhead started to spray water, it splashed everywhere. The water splashed on both Song Jiaye and Li Qiyu. At this time, Li Qiyu was wearing a white tulle dress. As soon as the water hit it, the dress stuck to her skin and became semi - transparent. The scenery inside the dress was faintly visible.
Li Xiyu had a very curvy figure. Now, with the water on her, it was like she was wearing a tight - fitting dress, with a prominent bust and a perky rear. It made Song Jiaye feel like a kettle on the stove, and hot sweat started to break out on his forehead.
Song Jiaye quickly averted his gaze. He held the showerhead in one hand, stepped out of the bathroom, and pulled the curtain of the bathroom for Li Qiyu.
"Um, you take off your clothes first. Call me when you're done."
Li Qiyu's face flushed and her heart raced when she heard this. Clearly, the other person was just helping her, but the scene really looked so ambiguous.
But she couldn't care about that much now. She struggled to take off her wet clothes. When it came to taking off her underwear, she still hesitated a bit. She looked out and saw that the curtain was tightly drawn.
Forget it. Not to mention that Song Jiaye wasn't a lecher. Anyway, whether in modern times or in ancient times, they were husband and wife, so there was nothing he couldn't see.
After mustering up enough courage, Li Qiyu took off her last piece of clothing. Then, blushing, she said to Song Jiaye, "Um, I'm done."
Because of her shyness, her voice sounded a bit timid, which instead sounded like an invitation.
Song Jiaye didn't dare to listen more. He turned his head and passed the showerhead through the curtain.
Li Qiyu was sitting on the chair. Even if she stretched out her hand, she still couldn't reach the showerhead. She had no choice but to say, "Um, could you come in a bit closer?"
Song Jiaye did as she said and reached his hand in a bit more. He didn't look inside, so he didn't know which direction to reach. As a result, the direction was off, and Li Qiyu still couldn't reach it.
"Um, lower it a bit."
"Lower it?"
"To the left."
Under Li Qiyu's guidance, Song Jiaye finally found the right position. Li Qiyu reached out to take the showerhead. Her skin accidentally touched his hand. Her hand seemed to have an electric current, which gave Song Jiaye a jolt.
After Li Qiyu took the showerhead, Song Jiaye finally withdrew.
He was all wet too. He went back to the room, drew the curtains, and was about to change his clothes.
The villas all had large floor - to - ceiling windows, and the situation in the room could be seen clearly from the outside. Li Xichi was holding her phone and talking to her agent in the yard at night. She happened to see Song Jiaye quickly pulling the curtains while impatiently taking off his clothes.
Li Xichi was an adult. She knew exactly what this meant.
At the moment she saw this scene, she couldn't hear what the agent was saying anymore.
In the past two days, Song Jiaye had been cold to her. He didn't even want to look at her more. The man who once regarded her as a goddess now treated her like a worn - out shoe.
She had endured all this. After all, she had to bear the consequences of her mother's actions.
However, she couldn't tolerate Song Jiaye's discriminatory treatment. She had just deceived him in the past, and he was so angry.
What about Li Xiyu? Li Xiyu was still deceiving him now! But he took such good care of her and was living happily with her day and night?
It was really maddening to compare.
Li Xichi hung up the phone with her agent. Her feet seemed to be out of control. As if possessed, she walked towards the room where Song Jiaye and Li Xiyu were. Just as she reached the door of the room, she heard Li Qiyu's voice.
"Song Jiaye, I'm done showering. Come in and help me."
What? Were they taking a bath together?!
Song Jiaye answered "Okay" and went into the bathroom to help Li Qiyu.
Since there was a curtain between them and the sound of water, Li Qiyu had to speak a bit louder for Song Jiaye to hear.
This allowed Li Xichi to eavesdrop clearly.
She heard Li Qiyu say, "Help me get my clothes. They're in my suitcase."
Song Jiaye rummaged through and found a set of pajamas, then walked in and gave them to Li Qiyu.
Unexpectedly, Li Qiyu blushed and said, "And the bellyband."
"Bellyband?" Song Jiaye had seen the bellyband when he was rummaging through the clothes just now. He was still wondering why Li Qiyu had brought a bellyband. Now that he heard she wanted it, he couldn't help but have doubts in his mind.
This Li Xiyu, didn't she have some ulterior motives?
