Su Li watched Bai Huizi, who looked like a child as she buried her face into her arms, bouncing up and down in her embrace.
She guessed that it might be because of Shen Cishu, making Bai Huizi want to experience the feeling of being a mother.
So Su Li’s hand reached into Bai Huizi’s hair, gently stroking her scalp.
Bai Huizi slowly lifted her head, revealing her mature face.
But because she was pretending to be a child, she deliberately covered her mouth.
When she looked up at Su Li, her gaze first landed on her own chest, then she pressed her cheek against it.
“1g,”
Su Li hummed softly, her cheeks slightly flushed, but she didn’t make any other movements.
Of course, even the hum was a sound she made in cooperation with Bai Huizi.
Although it caught her somewhat off guard, it didn’t affect Su Li’s mood.
She just needed to pay the service fee when the time came. Whatever Bai Huizi wanted to do now, she could do as she pleased.
“Mom, help me take a bath~”
Bai Huizi shook Su Li’s arm, acting like a child being coquettish.
Although Su Li always felt Bai Huizi’s tone of acting spoiled wasn’t quite convincing, she still held Bai Huizi in her arms, and the two of them stood under the Huajiu’s shower.
Water flowed down from above their heads, then slowly trickled down their bodies toward the floor.
“Mom, the water temperature seems just right~”
Bai Huizi’s voice mixed with the sound of the water dropping to the floor.
Her long hair was loose, her flushed earlobes dampened with strands of wet hair, her whole figure resembling a cinnamon osmanthus soaked in rain and mist.
Seeing Su Li lean closer, Bai Huizi took a step forward, holding Su Li tightly without wanting to let go.
The frosted glass in the bathroom was fogged by the steam, two shadows cast by the warm yellow wall lamp stretched across the tiles, slightly swaying in the rising heat.
Su Li squeezed some Shampoo onto her hand, hearing Bai Huizi’s playful splashing behind her.
She even cupped the water in her hands, occasionally flicking droplets onto Su Li’s body, then observing her reaction.
It seemed that noticing no change in Su Li’s expression, Bai Huizi pouted unhappily.
“It’s time to wash your hair.”
“Call me baby.”
Bai Huizi reminded her. Su Li dodged slightly, surprised that Bai Huizi shared the same little quirk as Xiao Yuyu.
“RR, BEAT.”
Saying this, under Bai Huizi’s watchful gaze, Su Li reluctantly turned her face toward the wall, letting Bai Huizi lift up her snow-white hair and gently massage it.
Bai Huizi’s hair always carried the fluffy freshness of morning pine needles. When Su Li’s fingertips brushed through it, it felt like touching silk warmed by sunlight, yet at the ends there were a few strands of stubborn curls.
It turned out Bai Huizi’s hair, when wet, would fall loosely over her shoulders. Su Li wasn’t sure if the curls were natural, as sometimes Bai Huizi would wear different hairstyles.
Only after she lathered Bai Huizi’s hair with bubbles did Bai Huizi turn around, rinsed her face with clear water, and then looked at Su Li, saying, “I want to wash Mom too.”
Although Bai Huizi’s tone was like a spoiled child, Su Li still sensed a commanding and threatening tone beneath the words, so she slowly turned around.
Su Li felt Bai Huizi lift her hair close to her nose to sniff, but she didn’t stop her, letting Bai Huizi apply Shampoo to her hair.
Of course, Su Li didn’t see Bai Huizi squeeze new Shampoo. Instead, through their intertwined hair rubbing together, Bai Huizi spread the Shampoo from her own hair onto Su Li’s.
Though Su Li didn’t understand why Bai Huizi enjoyed this so much, she let her do as she pleased.
“All done, Mom, you can turn around now.”
Su Li turned around as Bai Huizi said, then felt a pair of tender hands resting on her waist. Bai Huizi lowered her head, hugging her and planting a kiss on the corner of her mouth.
The two of them stood embraced under the Huajiu’s shower, letting the water cascade over their hair. Bai Huizi still refused to let go.
The steam challenge ended when Bai Huizi, unable to hold on any longer, finally released Su Li’s lips.
She began to pant heavily—whether from the bathroom’s heat or the length of time she’d been holding her breath, her cheeks flushed bright red and her gaze grew hazy.
“It’s time to wash our bodies, Mom~”
Bai Huizi’s eyes met Su Li’s, the distance between them very close, no mist obscuring her view. She could clearly see Su Li’s expression.
No different than before.
“Be gentle, Mom~”
Bai Huizi whispered in Su Li’s ear. The warm breath brushed against Su Li’s skin, making her ear twitch slightly.
Even though Su Li’s face showed no expression, her body responded.
Following Bai Huizi’s words, Su Li revealed a gentle look. When Bai Huizi looked back at her, she seemed a little shy, as if her real mother were standing right before her.
But Su Li wasn’t her mother.
Suddenly, a ticklish feeling stirred in Bai Huizi’s heart. Thinking that Su Li was playing the role of her younger sister’s mother, yet now stood before her like a doll obeying her commands, she felt an inexplicable comfort and wanted to hold Su Li tightly in her arms.
“It’s time to wash our bodies, Mom.”
The moment Bai Huizi finished speaking, Su Li reached to grab the Shower Gel but was stopped by Bai Huizi pulling her arm.
Su Li looked at her confused, only to see Bai Huizi had already taken the Shower Gel first.
Her other arm was wrapped tightly around Su Li, pressing their bodies close together.
The Shower Gel dripped from above, landing on Bai Huizi’s fair thigh. She looked at Su Li with a smile.
“We’ll use this Shower Gel to wash ourselves clean, okay?”
After saying this, she put the Shower Gel back in its place. Seeing Su Li ready to move, Bai Huizi grasped her hand, their fingers interlacing as their eyes met.
“RAE,”
Bai Huizi reminded her, and Su Li understood.
No using hands—so they would have to press their bodies together and do it that way.
Quite a troublesome method.
Su Li wasn’t even sure how Bai Huizi came up with this bathing method.
The water heater had long since turned off, but the bathroom wasn’t very cold.
Su Li watched Bai Huizi slowly lower her body, rubbing the Shower Gel from herself onto Su Li.
With their skin touching, the Shower Gel quickly lathered into bubbles.
“Mom, let’s work together to make ourselves smell nice~”
