Once the bath is built, all you need to do is put water and fire on it, and everyone can take a hot bath. It happened to be snowing for the past few days, and the snow on the ground was very thick, so Bai Yu asked the imps to shovel the snow directly into the bath, and then set up firewood at the bottom of the bath to heat the bath.

After a supper, the snow in the bath melts, and the clear water in the pool exudes an attractive mist.

Bai Yu asked someone to test the water temperature, just right, it was so hot that the body was numb, so he quickly asked people to take less firewood, only use a small fire to maintain the temperature in the bath, and prepare a bucket of snow to put next to it, so that when the water temperature is too hot, it can be added to control the temperature.

"Okay, let's go in and wash it in groups, in a group of ten, wash two groups and change the water once." Bai Yu commanded.

Everyone then divided into groups, many people wanted to wash the first batch, and some people proposed to let Xu Shuo wash first, but Xu Shuo refused hesitantly.

"I'm still ...... There's something going on, you guys wash it first, and leave me alone. ”

In fact, the real reason why he was reluctant to wash the first batch was: as a southerner from China, Xu Shuo was really not used to this scene of multiple people bathing at the same time, and he decided to wait for everyone to wash and then secretly make trouble by himself.

Each group had to wash for about fifteen minutes, and after two groups, the water had to be changed, and the pool was filled with fresh snow and the water was boiled again, and so on, and when everyone had finished washing, it took about three or four hours, and by this time, it was already time for the imps to go to bed.

Baozi, Toshio and Bai Yu and others were the last to finish washing (because Bai Yu was physically inconvenient, he needed Toshio's help in bathing). By the way, Bai Yu's face was a little more bloody than before after washing, and I have to say that taking a hot bath is indeed very helpful in promoting blood circulation.

"Brother Xu, let's finish washing, you can go and help you change the water."

Baozi specially notified Xu Shuo.

Xu Shuo was taken aback, "Huh? Did you help me put the water, didn't I say I didn't want to wash it for a while? ”

"Don't pretend, you're embarrassed to come with us, and you want to wash by yourself after we all fall asleep, right? Bai Yu saw it, and he said that it must be troublesome for you to change the water and burn wood alone, so he asked us to help you get it. ”

Xu Shuo's careful thinking was debunked, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, "Ahaha, that's it...... Can Bai Yu know how to read minds? ”

"Anyway, go wash it, the water should be almost hot, if you wash it now, maybe something good will happen later~!" Baozi shook his eyebrows and had a malicious smile on his face.

Xu Shuo narrowed his eyes and looked directly at the bun, "Why are you smiling like that, did you do anything in the water......

"I hate it, Brother Xu, what do you think of me? Okay, it's time for me to go to sleep, Brother Xu, you can enjoy it slowly. ”

"Hey, hey, make it clear before you go?!"

Xu Shuo wanted to ask clearly, but Baozi didn't pay attention to him anymore, and just jumped away.

"What the hell......"

Xu Shuo had an ominous premonition, looking at the appearance of the buns, he was probably going to do some kind of prank. But the water has already been put away for him, he can't help but go, otherwise it will be too wasteful, Xu Shuo hesitated for a while, but decided to take a bath.

He grabbed a change of clothes and went to the bath alone.

Xu Shuo walked around the windshield and looked around again. There was no one around. Then he leaned down and tested the temperature of the water in the bath with his hands, slightly overheating, but still within acceptable limits. The water was clear, and it didn't look like something strange had been added.

(Am I suspicious?) ）

Xu Shuo put his mind at ease and began to undress. He folded his clothes and set them aside, then slowly stepped into the bath.

The hot water enveloped his body for a long time, and the blazing heat loosened every joint in his body, and every cell in his body seemed to wake up from a deep slumber and jump happily. When the hot water overflowed Xu Shuo's shoulder, his body involuntarily shivered - comfortable!

"Hah~!"

Xu Shuo let out a long breath, and couldn't help but show an ambiguous smile on his face.

Taking a hot bath in winter is truly a paradise on earth.

(Okay, let's wash your hair too.) ）

Xu Shuo took a deep breath, pinched his nose, and soaked his head in the water, letting the water go over his head.

The sound of the whole world disappeared at once, and all that could be heard was the sound of one's own heart beating and beating, as if unconsciously coming to another world, in which sound, time and space were distorted with the fluctuations of water, in such a world, there was no need to think about any troubles in life, what brave duties and hated rakshasas, what injustice and poverty and coldness in the world. Although good things don't come out either, delicious steaks and cute girls are nowhere to be seen, but it doesn't matter, a world without bad things is a good world.

The fly in the ointment is that the world is a little too dark.

In order to get some light, Xu Shuo tried to open his eyes in the water, and at first his eyeballs were a little itchy, but with a little perseverance, he would slowly get used to this feeling and gain the qualification to peep into the world in the water.

Looking up, through the water, you can see the moon swaying in front of you, and the pale blue shimmer seeps into the bath, adding a little cooler to the bottom of the pool.

（…… Isn't it a bit long for me to dive, it seems like a few minutes, and I don't feel particularly hypoxic? Is it because the lung capacity has also increased after upgrading? ）

Just as Xu Shuo was thinking about the changes in his body, he suddenly noticed ripples on the surface of the water, as if something had also come down into the water.

He turned his head and looked in the direction where the fluctuations came from, a pair of perfectly proportioned snow-white thighs broke into this water world at some point, Xu Shuo subconsciously looked up along the thighs, and a mysterious and sacred triangle also entered his field of vision.

Xu Shuo was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, he poked his head out of the water in a panic.

"Poof!"

While Xu Shuo gasped for breath, a scream came from the opposite side of him.

"Ahh Yes, who is it——?! ”

Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Shuo immediately confirmed the identity of the other party.

"Leigh, Lilian?!"

Directly in front of Xu Shuo, Lilian clenched her legs with a shocked face, pressed her arms against her chest with one hand, and clenched her fist with the other to block the end of the mermaid line, her body dazzling like a waxed bronze statue in the moonlight.

Xu Shuo only glanced at it, then quickly turned his head, and at the same time covered his important parts with both hands.

"Are you...... Mr. Xu Shuo? ”

After seeing that the person who suddenly came out of the pool was Xu Shuo, Lilian's panic calmed down a little, but out of shyness, she quickly squatted down and sat in the water, bent her knees and covered her body with her legs.

"Why are you here, Lilian, haven't you washed?" Xu Shuo didn't dare to look ahead at all when he spoke, his eyes fixed on the windshield on one side.

"No, I haven't washed yet, I'm not used to taking a bath with people I don't know, so I thought I'd wait until everyone finished washing," Lilian blushed and was dripping blood, "No, I didn't expect Mr. Xu Shuo to be here, I thought Mr. Xu Shuo had already washed it." ”

"Ahaha," Xu Shuo laughed awkwardly, "It seems that the two of us have the same idea, and I also want to take a bath secretly by myself." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Shuo suddenly thought of something.

"Wait a minute, Lilian, who told you that the bath was empty, was it a bun?"

"Well," Lilian nodded, and whispered, "Baozi said to help me change the water, just let me come and wash it directly." ”

Xu Shuo instantly understood what the kid in Baozi was when he said with a cheap face that something good might happen, it turned out that he was playing tricks.

"Bun guy ......" Xu Shuo was a little angry, but there was another point - thanks? No, it's not good.

Anyway, it looks like I can't soak in the heat tonight.

"I'm sorry, Lilian, it looks like we've all been put on a bun, and he just called me to take a shower. I'll get up now, can you close your eyes a little? I'm dressed. Xu Shuo said.

"Huh? Then Mr. Xu Shuo, didn't you wash it, you should have just come, right? If Mr. Xu Shuo wants to take care of my feelings, I don't mind... It's a bit shy like this, but if it's Mr. Xu Shuo, sooner or later... Uh..."As if suddenly realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Lilien blushed and shook her head, and then said very quickly, "I mean, you see, every time I heat this pool of water, I need a lot of firewood, and it takes a lot of effort, so if I soak it alone, it's a bit of a waste, right?" Moreover, if Mr. Xu Shuo can't take a bath because of my reasons, I won't be able to go. Well, it's so dark anyway, as long as we keep our distance, we can't actually see anything. So, Mr. Xu Shuo, if you don't leave, it doesn't matter, I think you can soak for a while. ”

"That's ...... Is it? ”

Xu Shuo scratched his face, embarrassed to say that he could actually see it quite clearly, but Lilian had said it to this point, and when he left, it seemed that he minded soaking in a pool with Lilian, and it was better to be respectful than to obey.

"Since that's the case, then I'll soak it for a while," Xu Shuo thought for a while and added, "I won't look at your side, you can rest assured." ”

"Hmm." Liliam replied briefly.

The two of them sat opposite each other, one with his head tilted and the other with his eyes down, his gaze sweeping over the person in front of him, consciously or unconsciously.

In the small bath, time and silence go hand in hand, and the sound of the wind occasionally passes by to show a sense of presence, and then disappears, leaving only the ripples brought by the small movements of the two to dance together in the middle of the pool.

Lilian quietly raised her eyes and looked at Xu Shuo's side face who turned her head to look at the side, who was covering her lower body in an awkward posture expressionlessly, not knowing what she was thinking.

(Mr. Xu Shuo, don't look at me at all...... Should I say that Mr. Xu Shuo is a gentleman, or that I am completely unattractive to him? Obviously there used to be times when you would make bad teasing me, are you tired of it? ）

Lilien lowered her head and glanced at the object in her arms.

(I said that boys like big ones, so I should be okay...... ）

Thinking of this, Lilian whispered, "Ah, my legs are a little numb", and I don't know who I was talking to, and then slowly lowered her legs and sat upright.

Xu Shuo noticed Lilian's move with his peripheral eyes, and although there was still no expression on his face, his throat swallowed three times quickly.

(What is Lilian doing——?! ）

Xu Shuo felt as if a purple flame was rushing towards his head in his body, so he quickly closed his eyes and tried to let the darkness extinguish the flames, but at this moment he heard Lilian's voice.

"I said, Mr. Xu Shuo, do you want to come and rub your back?" strong
