Inside the bathroom, Bai Yulin already undressed herself and took her place inside the bathtub. Ji Haishan helped ran the water inside as he kept focus.

Ever since they walked inside the bathroom together, the atmosphere turned silence without an exchange of words. As if the two were mute.

However, the silence was actually very comfortable. They weren't tensed even though they were a bit fidgety and embarrassed about their own secret motive.

"Is the temperature good?" Ji Haishan asked as he dipped his hand into the water.

Bai Yulin looked at him and answered with a smile "Yeah, thanks Ji Haishan."

"Good."

The water lever wasn't filled until it was full. It reached just a few inches above Bai Yulin's waist. This was because Ji Haishan didn't want the water to touch her upper torso where there were some bruises.

The water was warm and it made Bai Yulin relax. When she rested her back with a sigh, Ji Haishan also smiled unconsciously. He then began squeezing some body wash on the sponge and scrubbed her big, manly body.

Ji Haishan felt weird to wash his own body like this but the feelings quickly dispersed when he thought this wasn't him but Bai Yulin.

"Ah.. there, it's good." Bai Yulin unconsciously moaned when Ji Haishan rubbed her rough skin at the back.

Ji Haishan when hearing the gentle moan, froze and gulped down the non-existent saliva inside his mouth. Why was he suddenly shaken by her moan?!

When Bai Yulin moaned, she was moaning with his voice and his body! How come it could make him arouse..?

Ji Haishan quickly shook his head. He hadn't yet to get Bai Yulin comfortable with him so why was he suddenly afraid of getting himself seduced??

Ji Haishan cleared his throat in an attempt to draw Bai Yulin's attention. She faced him and smiled softly. She liked the sensation of bath water on her skin because she had never experienced it before.

Bai Yulin's small apartment couldn't afford a bathtub. Even at her parents' house, their life was simple and normal like most people. And most people, in this case, didn't have a bathtub in their bathroom. So Bai Yulin only showered and never took a bath like this.

"Is it great? Are you feeling okay?" Ji Haishan asked, looking worried and Bai Yulin thought he was kinder than usual today.

It was good that when she bathed, her complexion always turned slightly pink. So Ji Haishan didn't think too much of her blushing face. But only Bai Yulin knew that she was blushing because of his intense gaze and care.

Ji Haishan stared at Bai Yulin for so long until he decided to take things a bit further. He stood up and took a shampoo before he himself went into the tub.

Bai Yulin was surprised but she stayed quiet. She wanted to see what he would do. Her heart was racing and she didn't notice how her hands went clammy. She was nervous.

Ji Haishan sat himself down on the footing area that was a bit higher than the depth. He then instructed Bai Yulin to look ahead while he scrubbed her hair. Bai Yulin had her back facing him so she wasn't feeling as shy.

But when he began massaging her scalp, Bai Yulin couldn't help but get her ears burnt. Ji Haishan noticed this and he smiled, satisfied. He knew he had this much effect on her. At least, he knew Bai Yulin was conscious of him.

Ji Haishan made sure not to touch the bandage on top of Bai Yulin's head. But the dressing almost came loose so he decided to change it later after they finished bathing.

While he was scrubbing her hair, Bai Yulin closed her eyes, feeling blissful. She wondered if Ji Haishan had done this to other women before. She didn't know Ji Haishan was a virgin so she thought he must have a lot of experience.

And when she realized it, her mood turned sour. Her shoulder dropped and she pursed her lips in silent protest. Ji Haishan noticed her changes and he raised his brow questioningly.

"What's wrong?" Ji Haishan asked, slightly perturbed. Did she feel uncomfortable after all?

Bai Yulin shook her head and kept her silence.

Ji Haishan didn't like her silence and he felt that something had made her feel upset. So he continued asking until Bai Yulin gave up.

She said "Nothing, just.. I thought that you're so good at this and maybe you've done this too many times with other women before."

Her sentence literally caused a firecracker of love to be erupted inside Ji Haishan's heart, exploding like a wave of butterflies. He didn't know she was a jealous person!

Ji Haishan felt so happy that he wanted to tease her "Well.. I'm so good at this right?"

"Yeah.. too good that it's pissing me off." Bai Yulin mumbled lowly but Ji Haishan knew she was expressing her jealousy.

Ji Haishan then laughed which caused Bai Yulin to turned behind her. She saw his expression that once again- caught her defenseless. Why must his laughter bring so much joy in her heart?? Damn it, no fair!

Ji Haishan looked at her who was staring at him and he smiled softly. It made her heart skip a beat.

"This is an exclusive treatment I'm giving only to you. There were no other women whom even got as far as stepping their foot inside my house so how could I help them in the bathroom?"

Bai Yulin was surprised to hear him. So she asked "No women have ever come into your house? Why?"

"Because I don't like it. I hate them. I've never even touched them." he said with a flashing glint in his eyes but it went as it mysteriously came.

Bai Yulin was totally shocked by his confession!

So Ji Haishan hated women all this time?? But why was he okay with her?

"You want to know why I'm fine with you, right?" he probed and she nodded cutely while biting her lower lip.

Ji Haishan saw her action and he suddenly felt so hot. Was she a natural born temptress?

Ji Haishan shook his head immediately to get rid of his strange thoughts as he rinsed Bai Yulin's hair. While doing so, he internally marveled at how soft his original hair really was. He was somehow proud of his own genes.
