But Xuan suddenly frowned, reaching back to feel his back: “Chenbi, did you not pick up a needle?”
“Ah? No…” She was puzzled. She had carefully checked the clothes after they were made, how could there be a hidden needle?
“What ‘ah’ are you saying, quickly find it!” Xuan’s frown deepened.
To find this needle, Xuan took off his outer robe again, her hands gently tracing circles on his back, but still couldn’t find it. Then Xuan simply impatiently took off his inner garment as well.
“Maybe it fell on the bed, let’s look together.” She was just crumpling the clothes into a ball, trying to feel the needle’s location, when she was startled by two arms wrapping around her. With difficulty regaining her senses, she looked at Xuan, his face and body red from the hot water, like a piece of braised pork.
“Uh, it didn’t fall on the bed…”
“I said it fell, so it fell!” He held her arms tightly, not lessening his strength at all, leaving her no way to struggle, only able to watch as the bed came closer and closer.
“After searching for so long, where did the needle actually go?” Xuan’s tone was very satisfied.
She harrumphed, almost turning it into a muffled groan because she was held too tightly.
“Chenbi, do you think the needle might have fallen on the carpet? Should we look for it?”
Enduring the hands wandering on her back, she said softly: “If you want to look, look yourself, I won’t keep you company.”
This person was cunning, always using these underhanded methods… Her reputation as a consort during the day was now hopeless.
“I don’t want your needle, we’ll look together.” Xuan’s forehead pressed against hers as he said with a smile.
“Qiushui, don’t go too far.”
“What did you call this palace?” His voice was lazy, and his eyes also narrowed.
She shrank her shoulders: “Then you should also call me Chenbi…”
“Say it once.”
She shook her head, the anger just now didn’t count: “This concubine has…”
“I said say it once!”
“Qiushui…” Her voice became softer and softer.
“Omit the courtesy name.”
“Qiushui!”
“Mmm, so good, say it again, otherwise I’ll punish you.”
