Chapter 119: Perception
Evening.
Jiang Huai had been busy in the kitchen all afternoon, preparing a large table of dishes. Cooking was an interesting affair, especially when seeing the pleasure on the faces of those tasting the food, which made Jiang Huai happy as well.
After dinner, Luo Qingyu changed into a pale moon-white dance dress, and Jiang Huai sat in front of the guqin. Luo Yueguan also donned a dance dress, and she danced a duet with Luo Qingyu. The mother and daughter looked no different from sisters. Bai Li sat to one side, propping her cheek with her hand and watching intently.
The evening breeze was cool, and without notice, rain began to fall, the slanting drizzle cool upon the face. But the dance dresses of the mother and daughter seemed to be soaked by the rain, clinging to their skin, making their already enchanting figures even more seductive.
Not only was Jiang Huai enjoying the view, but Bai Li was too. However, after Luo Qingyu finished dancing, the two girls whispered something to each other, and then Bai Li went to the bathhouse alone. When she returned, already changed into a bathrobe, she bounced back to her room. With nothing else to do tonight, she decided to reread The Melody of Warm Jade by lamplight.
At this moment, Luo Qingyu approached Jiang Huai, extending her hand towards him with innocent and naive eyes.
“Brother Jiang Huai...”
“Hmm?”
“Let’s... bathe together.” Luo Qingyu said softly, lowering her head.
The young girl’s hand hung in mid-air, soon gently grasped by Jiang Huai. Luo Qingyu led Jiang Huai to the edge of the bathhouse before finally letting go.
As the rain fell lightly from the sky, Luo Qingyu stretched out her arms, looking innocently at Jiang Huai with a coquettish blink.
