Chapter 120.1

Wen Chi remembered that he had once used the bath in Shi Ye’s bedchamber, but at that time, Shi Ye was so furious about him being hugged by Hua Zi Zang at the Peach Blossom Banquet that his attention was almost all on Shi Ye, so he didn’t have the energy to take a closer look at the surroundings.

Now that he had taken a moment to look around, he couldn’t help but sigh – the crown prince’s bathing room was so luxurious!

Not only was there a bathing pool in the middle of the room, which was big enough to accommodate ten people, but there were also all the other facilities, and the shelves were lined with spices in porcelain bowls.

Wen Chi picked up one of the bowls with spices, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it and smelled a very faint floral scent. He couldn’t tell what kind of flower scent it was, but it smelled good.

Seeing that Wen Chi was interested in the bowl of spices, Xiao Shuanzi came over hurriedly and explained: “Young Master Wen, this spice is a tribute from Xizhou. I heard that it is made from the snow plums in the mountains, the process of making it is not easy, so only the Emperor and His Highness have such a small bowl in the entire Kingdom.”

Hearing what Xiao Shuanzi said, Wen Chi couldn’t help picking up the porcelain bowl and sniffing it again.

It smells good, but it doesn’t smell good enough to make it worth the hard work of Xizhou people to make it.

And……

Wen Chi rubbed his nose, thinking with embarrassment that this bowl of spices didn’t smell as good as one-tenth of Shi Ye.

Thinking of this, Wen Chi became a little curious. He put the porcelain bowl containing the spices back to its original place and turned to ask Xiao Shuanzi, “Which bowl of spices does His Royal Highness usually use?”

Xiao Shuanzi lowered his head and said, “Young Master Wen, His Royal Highness usually does not use spices when bathing.”

“Really?” Wen Chi couldn’t believe it, “But he smells so good.”

“This…” Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Shuanzi’s forehead, thinking to himself that none of the servants dared to go near His Highness except when necessary, so how could they smell His Highness’s body? If these words were to come out of their mouths or those of other Young Masters, His Highness would have to rip their heads off.

Only Young Master Wen, was able to behave without any taboos in front of His Highness, who was feared by everyone.

Seeing that Xiao Shuanzi couldn’t answer his words, Wen Chi didn’t continue to make things difficult for Xiao Shuanzi but picked the bowl of spices he had just smelled and prepared to go down to the pool to take a bath.

In the bathroom of the crown prince’s bedchamber, there were a few eunuchs who were dedicated to serving. They had been quietly guarding the corner before, but when they saw Wen Chi unfasten his belt, they came up cautiously to perform their duties.

Wen Chi was taken aback by this and quickly declined the eunuchs. He asked Xiao Shuanzi to lead them out.

After that, Wen Chi was the only one left in the huge bathroom.

Only then did Wen Chi take off his clothes, put them on the screen next to him and then walked into the bath.

Warm water gushes from all directions, wrapping around Wen Chi.

Wen Chi found a comfortable position and lay down on the edge of the bath, resting his chin on the back of his folded hands and sighed contentedly.

In these cold winter months, a hot bath could not be more blissful, but it is easy to get sleepy. Wen Chi had only been soaking for a while when he became a little drowsy.

Wen Chi squinted his eyes and took a nap. After a while, he vaguely noticed that someone had walked in. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of clean black shoes.

He froze for a moment, and was about to look up, but saw the man squatting down suddenly. Then, a bright and beautiful face came into view and the familiar phoenix eyes looked at him with a smile.

Wen Chi immediately woke up: “Shi Ye, are you done?”

“I’m done.” Shi Ye nodded and reached out to touch Wen Chi’s long hair coiled behind his head. It didn’t get wet, so he was relieved, “Why did you fall asleep here? Be careful of catching a cold.”

“I won’t…” Who knew that just after Wen Chi finished saying that, he suddenly let out a sneeze.

After he sneezed, he was so embarrassed that he stopped still, his fingers were scratching the back of the other hand and he looked up at Shi Ye pitifully.

Shi Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to teach Wen Chi a lesson, but being stared at by Wen Chi with such pitiful eyes, he couldn’t bear to scold him.

“You.” Shi Ye touched Wen Chi’s face, stood up suddenly, took off his coat, shoes and socks and then took a big stride forward, stepping into the pool water.

Before Wen Chi could react, Shi Ye bent over and hugged him horizontally.

Wen Chi was startled and reflexively put his arms around Shi Ye’s neck but then he remembered that Shi Ye’s body hadn’t fully recovered, so he struggled to get down.

“You put me down, I can walk by myself.”

However, Shi Ye ignored Wen Chi’s words, stepped onto the edge of the bath and walked straight forward.

Wen Chi’s body was covered with water, but that’s not the point – the point is that he’s naked and hugged by Shi Ye right now.

Even though he and Shi Ye were both big men and had done all kinds of intimate things, at this moment, he still felt ashamed and his face and body seemed to burn with shame.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for Shi Ye to put him down.

Immediately afterwards, a clean blanket was draped over Wen Chi’s body.

Wen Chi stood there in a daze, letting Shi Ye wipe off the water stains on his body with the blanket.

After wiping, Shi Ye took the clean clothes that Xiao Shuanzi had prepared earlier from the shelf and prepared to dress Wen Chi.
