Chapter 145: Tonight We Use This
After chatting with Xing Hai by the fountain for a while longer and confirming she showed no signs of abnormality, Xi Wei finally returned to his room.
By then, it was already late at night. Xi Wei tidied up the documents on his desk, removed his armor, and used his Qi to burn away the grime on his body.
Just as he was about to head to the restroom, Loli’s sweet, soft voice came from outside the door:
“Master, are you there? Loli is coming in~”
Without waiting for his reply, Loli had already pushed the door open a crack, peeking inside. Spotting Xi Wei, she giggled happily and swung the door wide open.
In her hands was a basin of water, and draped over her arm were towels and other toiletries. Her beautiful eyes, unblinking, gazed at Xi Wei as she cooed sweetly:
“Master, Loli thought you’d be back soon, so I brought water for you to wash your face and brush your teeth~”
Though she said so, Xi Wei knew Loli had likely been tirelessly replacing the water to keep it warm, coming and going more than once.
For her, a healer unskilled in combat, this was still quite a strenuous task—evident from the sweat beading at her temples.
Xi Wei hurried over to take the basin from her, setting it down by the bed. With a mix of fondness and mild reproach, he chided,
“I do have hands, you know. The restroom isn’t far, and you could’ve waited till I returned to prepare this.”
Loli knelt down, gently helping Xi Wei remove his shoes, murmuring softly,
“If Loli doesn’t guard the basin, Ruo Yi will snatch it away…”
Xi Wei couldn’t help but laugh at this. Though the two girls around him rarely had major conflicts, these little competitions never ceased.
After enjoying the increasingly skilled foot massage from the little maid and having his feet washed and teeth brushed under her care, Xi Wei relaxed fully on the bed.
The little maid took the basin to the restroom to empty it and would be back in a moment.
Xi Wei lay quietly, gazing at the ceiling lamp, the faint scent of flowers filling his nose. Lost in thought, he gradually closed his eyes, drowsiness overtaking him.
How much time had passed…?
“Master~”
A soft, sweet whisper accompanied by warm breath tickled his ear.
Then, Xi Wei felt a weight settle on his chest as a petite, fragrant body nestled into his embrace.
“Master~ Ruo Yi won’t be coming tonight~”
Xi Wei groggily opened his eyes.
In the dim glow of the lamp, the little maid—wearing nothing but a sheer black silk apron—lay against him, her pretty face flushed. Her fair shoulders were bare, and her delicate, tender arms were already wrapped around his neck.
Suddenly, Xi Wei wasn’t sleepy anymore. In fact, he felt more awake than ever.
From his vantage point, he could clearly see the little maid’s pale, taut collarbone, her smooth and supple arms, and further down, the soft curves pressing against his chest.
As if sensing his heated gaze, Loli deliberately arched her back slightly, her bright eyes shimmering with a misty allure.
“Master~” She buried her face against his ear, her voice trembling slightly as she exhaled warm breaths that sent shivers down his spine.
The two lingered in each other’s embrace for a while.
Then, as if struck by a thought, Loli giggled and sat up halfway, catching Xi Wei’s puzzled gaze.
She lifted one slender arm, revealing her graceful, albeit not overly voluptuous, silhouette. Her flawless, porcelain skin seemed bathed in a soft halo under the dim magic light.
Her cheeks flushed, Loli stretched lazily, exposing her slender waist.
Noticing Xi Wei’s intense stare, she grinned and asked coyly,
“Master, touch it~”
Leaning slightly closer, she guided his hand to her waist.
Unsure of her intentions but playing along, Xi Wei let his large hand rest there.
The warmth of his touch made Loli’s body go weak. She parted her lips slightly, catching her breath before biting her lower lip and whispering,
“Master, is it smooth?”
“Smooth.”
Xi Wei answered without hesitation—it truly was.
“And… soft?”
“Soft.”
“Hehe!”
Loli giggled sweetly at his response and lowered her arm.
She leaned down again, wrapping her arms around Xi Wei’s neck, her burning cheek pressed against his ear. In a trembling voice, she murmured,
“Then tonight, Loli wants to…”
She didn’t finish her sentence, merely dimming the magic lamp, plunging the entire room into darkness.
