“I’ll bathe you myself.” Jin Yu placed him on a soft chair and began to undress him.
Xu Yi quickly pulled his clothes closed, “No, no… I’ll wash myself… How can we see each other’s bodies before marriage… Just wait until tomorrow…” The thought of it felt so embarrassing.
“We’ve already slept together, no need to worry about this,” Jin Yu traced the red marks at his collar.
“This is different…” Xu Yi couldn’t let her do this. Bathing together was too embarrassing. His cheeks reddened, “Please go out, I’ll do it myself…”
“You can’t see right now,” Jin Yu covered his delicate hand.
Xu Yi’s body trembled, withdrawing his hand, his heart racing. He lowered his head, his face bright red, both shy and anxious, with misty eyes, “Then call Hua Yan to help me; he usually helps…”
After a moment of silence, Jin Yu reached to remove his clothes. “If we don’t wash soon, the water will get cold. Tomorrow we’re getting married, and if you get sick, we’ll have to postpone.”
Xu Yi panicked, quickly releasing Jin Yu’s hand, “Then hurry… just this once…” He couldn’t risk getting sick and delaying their wedding.
Jin Yu’s eyes showed amusement as she removed her inner garment, revealing her smooth skin marked at the collar and arms. During their journey, Jin Yu would often touch him lightly each night, helping him become familiar with her scent and gentleness.
These marks were invisible to Xu Yi. If he knew the frequent gazes these past few days were because Jin Yu had left marks on his body, he’d be even more embarrassed.
Jin Yu removed Xu Yi’s undergarments, exposing his porcelain-like body. He shivered from the cold and nestled into Jin Yu’s embrace. Jin Yu carefully lifted him and placed him in the flower-petal-filled bathtub, gently washing him.
