Picked up a queen at the start

Chapter 8 Come, I'll Teach You to Take a Bath

"I'm afraid a thief broke into your house!"

"..."

Listening to Aunt Wang's description, Ji Qinglin's heart skipped a beat.

Helpless emotions, accompanied by a fire, rushed to my heart.

What are you really afraid of, what are you coming to.

Besides Xia Yao, which other thief can jump directly from the window on the second floor? .
"Xiao Ji, call the police!"

Beside her, Aunt Wang took out her mobile phone in shock, ready to make a call.

Seeing this, Ji Qinglin quickly clenched her somewhat rough hands: "Aunt Wang, you can't help it."

"What can't be done? Your house has been stolen!"

As Aunt Wang said, she broke away from Ji Qinglin's hand and picked up the phone again.

Snatching the phone away, Ji Qinglin shook his head: "No."

"Aunt Wang, think about it, this thief can jump directly from the second floor, that's very skillful."

"What if the police don't catch him, they are alarmed by him, and he keeps doing nothing, what if he retaliates against us?"

Saying that, Ji Qinglin looked around pretendingly, and continued: "Well, I'll go home and have a look first."

"If something valuable is lost at home, I will call the police myself. Aunt Wang, please don't make this call, and don't get involved with you."

After finishing speaking, Ji Qinglin revealed a solemn expression.

"..."

Listening to his nonsense, Aunt Wang really believed it, and her expression became serious.

She also looked around cautiously, as if she was afraid that the thief was hiding in the dark and staring at her.

After thinking about it, she took the phone back from Ji Qinglin's hand and put it away, then nodded: "Okay, then I'll go home first."

"Okay, be careful."

After waving to Aunt Wang, Ji Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief.

Glancing at the window on the second floor, he looked solemn and stepped upstairs.

……

In the living room, Xia Yao was sitting on the sofa, staring at her hands in a daze.

click!
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she was instinctively vigilant, and then quickly picked up the fruit knife on the table.

The phoenix eyes cautiously stared at the entrance.

It wasn't until she realized that it was Ji Qinglin who walked in that she breathed a sigh of relief and put down the fruit knife.

"You come back..."

"What are you doing running out?"

Before Xia Yao finished speaking, Ji Qinglin spoke in annoyance.

Putting down the slippers in his hand, he said speechlessly: "It's fine to go out, but you walked through the door, why did you jump out of the window?"

"Jumping out of the window is fine, can't you pick a time when no one is around?"

"Fortunately, it was Aunt Wang who saw you. If this is a young man, I really can't be fooled."

"If the police are really called in, let's meet again, maybe it will be through the TV news!"

After finishing the reprimand in one breath, Ji Qinglin took a deep breath.

I don't know if he was frightened by Ji Qinglin's anger.

Xia Yao's phoenix eyes widened, she stared at him in a daze, but didn't refute a word in a daze.

After a while, she frowned and said in a low voice: "Zhen... can't open that door, it will break it."

"Only the window is open, so I..."

Speaking of this, Xia Yao bit her lower lip lightly, and looked away tensely.

Seeing that she was still annoyed, Ji Qinglin scratched her hair and sighed helplessly: "Then you can't jump out of the window either."

Walking over to close the window, he continued: "In our era, if everyone can go through the door, they all go through the door, and no one goes through the window."

"It's easy to be regarded as a thief like you, you know?"

"I……"

Understanding the reason for Ji Qinglin's anger, Xia Yao whispered awkwardly.

Hearing the words "I didn't do it on purpose" vaguely, and seeing Xia Yao's disappointed expression, Ji Qinglin suddenly felt that most of the anger in his heart disappeared.

Sighing again, he handed the slippers to Xia Yao and said, "Anyway, you are not allowed to go out without my permission."

"But I want to know more about this place." Taking the slippers, Xia Yao expressed her thoughts.

Ji Qinglin frowned, and Ji Qinglin felt a little worried.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Xia Yao's thinking.

Faced with a world she doesn't understand, she must be full of anxiety now.

Understanding is a must.

Just now, not yet.

"When the time is right, I will take you out."

Facing Xia Yao's gaze, Ji Qinglin warned seriously: "As for now, you are not allowed to go out by yourself, and you are not allowed to do things like jumping out of windows."

"I know."

Seemingly turning around in a fit of anger, Xia Yao didn't say anything, and silently put on new slippers.

Looking at her back, Ji Qinglin shook his head helplessly.

When she first came here, she was obviously a cold and proud female emperor.

Now, why did she become a tsundere little girl?
but……

Maybe this is her real side?
Thinking about it this way, Ji Qinglin suddenly felt less helpless when he saw Xia Yao's angry look again.

It seems a little cute.

"The hot water should be ready. Get ready to take a bath. Take a hot bath and sleep more comfortably."

Bypassing the previous topic, Ji Qinglin came to the door of the bathroom.

The phoenix eyes looked at Ji Qinglin suspiciously, and Wusi behind Xia Yao swayed with the movement of her head, wondering: "Is there a maid here?".
"Lady?"

What kind of weird question is this?

With a raised eyebrow, Ji Qinglin shook his head and said, "Of course there are no court ladies."

Stared blankly, Xia Yaoliu frowned: "How can I take a bath without a maid?"

"Of course you did it yourself."

Why can't I wash it for you?

Ji Qinglin almost blurted out the second half of the sentence.

Swallowing his saliva, he eased his awkward cough and said, "There are no maids here, so you need to bathe yourself."

"..."

Hearing this, Xia Yao fell silent.

Her eyes drifted to the bathroom that didn't even have a bathtub, and her expression became tangled.

Looking at her black and white expression, Ji Qinglin twitched the corner of his mouth and asked tentatively, "You... don't know how to take a bath by yourself?"

"..."

Her fair and pretty cheeks suddenly revealed a touch of light pink.

Avoiding Ji Qinglin's sight, Xia Yao frowned tightly, and said intermittently: "Since I was a child, I have been served by court ladies to take baths."

"I have never bathed alone before."

"To put it bluntly, you just don't know how to wash yourself?" Ji Qinglin shrugged.

As her body stiffened, the pale pink on Xia Yao's cheeks slowly turned crimson.

The trembling phoenix eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of red.

"Anyway... I wouldn't take a bath without a maid serving me!"

Pretentiously snorting, Xia Yao quickly turned around, with her back to Ji Qinglin.

Looking at the stubborn figure in front of him, Ji Qinglin shook his head and said, "How should I put it, it has nothing to do with me whether you want to wash it or not."

"But, aren't you afraid that if you don't take a bath for too long, it will be rotten?"

"..."

Ji Qinglin's words made Xia Yao's body tense up.

The hands hanging down beside him clenched violently.

Rotten?

A generation of emperors, because they can't take a bath by themselves, they are so bad.

She couldn't even think about such a thing.

"How about it? Wash it, or not?" Ji Qinglin was not in a hurry, leaning against the door and waiting quietly.

Just when he thought he would have to wait for a long time, Xia Yao's figure moved and turned around slowly.

"I wash."

"That's right." With a hook on the corner of his mouth, Ji Qinglin beckoned: "Come, come here, I'll teach you how to wash."

"..."

Looking up at Ji Qinglin, Xia Yao bit her lips lightly, step by step, reluctantly moved in front of Ji Qinglin.
