    Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Mandarin Duck Bath

    There is a faint aroma of plant essential oil floating in the bathroom.

    “Let’s try it. I’ve adjusted the water temperature and controlled the time within twenty minutes.” Shen Beidao stepped aside to make way. “Soaking for too long will aggravate allergy symptoms.”

    Lin Yi stood there, looked at the bathtub, then at Shen Beidao, and said “oh”.

    He’s not thinking of any bad ideas again, is he?Before I learn it, I still have to be more careful.

    “You soak first, I’ll go out and get you toothpaste and toothbrush.”

    After saying that, Shen Beidao turned around and walked out, closing the bathroom door behind him.

    Lin Yi stood behind the door, looking at the closed frosted glass door, then looked back at the ambiguous round bathtub covered with flower petals, and raised his hand to hammer his forehead a little shyly.

    “Lin Yi, what are you thinking…” He muttered softly, “I may not have that intention at all.”

    He tentatively put his feet into the water. The water temperature was indeed just right, not hot, and had a comfortable warmth.

    He sank slowly, the warm water covered his ankles, calves, waist and abdomen, and finally he lay down in it.

    The curvature of the bathtub fit his body very well. He sighed comfortably and closed his eyes slightly.

    Not long after, the bathroom door was gently pushed open.

    Shen Beidao came in, holding a toothbrush filled with toothpaste and a glass of water.

    Lin Yi heard the noise and opened his eyes a crack. He saw Shen Beidao walking to the edge of the bathtub, squatting down, and putting the toothbrush to his lips.

    “Brush your teeth well before going to bed.” Shen Beidao’s voice was very soft, like coaxing a child.

    Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously opened his mouth to hold the toothbrush handle. Even he didn’t know why he took over so smoothly.

    He had just brushed twice when Shen Beidao had already put the glass to his mouth: “Rinse your mouth and spit here.”

    Lin Yi raised his eyes to look at Shen Beidao.

    Under the soft overhead light of the bathroom, the man was wearing a dark gray silk nightgown, with the collar loosely open, revealing a clear collarbone line.

    Lin Yi was stunned for a while before spitting the foam in his mouth into another wide-mouthed glass in Shen Beidao’s hand.

    Although his parents didn’t have a good relationship, they always cared about him when he was growing up.

    It’s just that the kind of care always stays at the level of elders to younger ones. There has never been anyone like Shen Beidao who takes care of him in every detail and takes care of him naturally and as a matter of course.

    Shen Beidao wiped the foam from the corners of his mouth with a warm towel.

    “Okay.” He stood up and put the used towel and cup aside, “You can soak for a while longer, and I will come over and apply medicine to you later.”

    He raised his finger and pointed at the only white clothing hanging on Lin Yi’s body, and added meaningfully: “If I’m not here, you don’t have to wear so much, as it will make you uncomfortable.”

    He patted Lin Yi’s shoulder and softened his voice: “After washing, call me anytime.”

    He turned to leave, but Lin Yi grabbed his wrist.

    Lin Yi didn’t look at him, his eyes were staring at the petals floating on the water, and his voice was as low as humming: “The bathtub is so big… you can fit it in even if you have one more.”

    Shen Beidao turned his back to him and raised the corners of his mouth very quickly.

    However, he turned around, frowning but reluctantly, leaned into Lin Yi’s ear, and asked in a low voice: “Can I interpret what I just said to mean that you are inviting me?”

    Lin Yi opened his mouth but didn’t answer yet.

    Shen Beidao had already acted quickly. The straps of his nightgown were neatly torn open, and the silk fell to the ground along his skin.

    He didn’t even let go of the underwear that Lin Yi insisted on him to put on just now. Within three seconds, he had already taken them off completely.

    Lin Yi felt something was wrong and sat up halfway.

    Then he bumped into something energetic.

    The previous few times, it was either dim light or a fleeting glance.

    Never before has there been such a clear, straightforward, unobstructed perspective.

    Lin Yi stared at it for two seconds, and an idea came to his mind inexplicably: red…big sweet potato?

    “…You scared me.” He blurted out with trembling lips.

    Shen Beidao seemed to be extremely looking forward to this moment.

    After taking off his clothes, the professorial shell of the cool breeze and the moon during the day was peeled off. The “qing, wind, and moon” were removed, leaving only the “big sky”.

    “Don’t you like it?” There was a smile in his voice, and a little bit of unconscious expectation.

    “You ask him to retract 2.5 times, just like… normal, can’t you?” Lin Yi moved back, his cheeks were hot, and there was a sound of water.

    “They are all men, you know, I can’t control it.” Shen Beidao blinked innocently, “He acted like this when he saw you. You have to be responsible for me.”

    So!After some personal guidance from Lin Yi, Shen Beidao finally got into the bathtub as he wished.

    However, the two of them were lying back to back, with their postures reversed, and there was an invisible dividing line between them.

    “Don’t move.” Lin Yi really regretted what he said just now. He tensed up and his voice became more severe, “You wash yours, and I’ll wash mine.”

    Shen Beidao picked up some water and splashed it on his chest, and the water droplets slid down the tight muscle lines.

    He looked at the spacious bathtub and thought thoughtfully: This bathtub is indeed a big one. It seems to be a family size. It can accommodate two adults and a child. It seems that I will change to a smaller size next time.

    “Well, I’m washing it carefully.” He picked up a petal and put it on his fingertips to observe carefully, his tone sounding very serious.

    Lin Yi turned his back to him, and the tips of his ears were as red as delicate roses.

    He thought wildly in his mind: Red sweet potatoes?Why did I think of this?…….Now all I can think about is that shape and color!

    “Hurry up and wash up.” Lin Yi suppressed something, something might happen if he continued like this.

    “How fast?” Shen Beidao’s tone was innocent, and his underwater calf brushed against Lin Yi’s calf, “It doesn’t listen to me, otherwise you can help me think of a way?”

    Lin Yi: I thought about the hammer for you!All I want to do now is throw you in the oven with the sweet potatoes!180 degrees!Bake for an hour!

    He finally understood that he shouldn’t let this guy in.

    Shen Beidao remained calm for a while, then slowly turned over.

    He saw Lin Yi with his back turned to him, picking at the petals on the water surface in boredom. The slender back of his neck was submerged in the water, and his shoulder blades were slightly stretched due to tension.

    Shen Beidao leaned over gently and hugged Lin Yi from behind.

    He quickly buried his face into the other person’s neck and placed a very light kiss on those allergic rash areas.

    Lin Yi trembled all over.

    The allergic area was already very sensitive. When Shen Beidao’s warm lips touched it, the numbing itching instantly spread throughout the body.

    “Don’t kiss there…” His voice was shaking a little, “It will be transmitted to you.”

    Shen Beidao did not let go.

    His lips were pressed against Lin Yi’s hot skin and he whispered in German: “Ich liebe dich.”

    Lin Yi only felt that these words came out of his mouth, low and gentle, and sounded very good.

    “…Speaking of birdsong again.” He protested softly.

    “I love you.” Shen Beidao propped up his body and placed his arms on both sides of the bathtub, leaving room for Lin Yi to lie in his arms.

    He continued in that low, earnest tone: “To put it mildly, Ich hab(e) dich lieb.”

    His lips were almost touching Lin Yi’s ear: “To put it more romantically…Ich mochte mit dir schlafen.”

    “I’m totally in love with you.”

    He circled Lin Yi’s arm tighter, and the body temperature under the water seeped into each other, making it difficult to tell who was causing the heat. “Lin Yi, please teach me, how should I express my love to the person I love, so that he can accept me?”

    Lin Yi was trapped in Shen Beidao’s arms. Their skin touched each other, as if they really owned each other.

    Lin Yi could clearly feel the strong heartbeat under Shen Beidao’s chest and the presence of little Shen ready to go.

    “You want me to teach you, right?” Lin Yi stared at him sideways, but his tone was fierce, “First of all, shut up.”

    Then, he raised his head, put his arm around Shen Beidao’s neck, and touched the corner of Shen Beidao’s lips very lightly and quickly.

    After the kiss, he let go of his hand and his voice returned to his usual lazy tone:

    “The guard dog never barks randomly, it only barks at critical moments.”

    After the words fell, there was only the faint sound of water ripples in the bathroom…

    After a while, he blinked very slowly, and his voice was an octave lower than before. He leaned close to his ear, deliberately avoiding the non-existent person, and shouted softly:

    “…Woof.”

    Lin Yi’s fingertips trembled. He just wanted to scold him, but he didn’t expect Shen Beidao to claim it?

    He wanted to withdraw, but Shen Beidao suddenly grabbed his wrist and pressed it back onto his hot chest again.

    Shen Beidao approached, nuzzling him: “So, Master, do I scream well?”

    “…it’s…ok.” Lin Yi looked away and tried to maintain his composure, “But, I still talked too much.”

    He cleared his throat and tilted his chin toward the outside of the tub: “Good dog, it’s time to go to work now.”

    “I’m hungry. Let’s get some supper for your master.” He added the most important sentence, “It needs to be hot, edible, and serious. Big sweet potatoes don’t count.”

    “Big… sweet potato?” After Shen Beidao heard this word, he faintly smiled fondly.

    Shen Beidao stopped teasing him, got up honestly, dried his body, put on his nightgown and pushed out the door.

    When the bathroom door closed again, Lin Yi let out a long breath.

    The composure he had just maintained collapsed instantly, and certain body reactions that had been deliberately suppressed could no longer be ignored.

    He got up with a red face, quietly opened the door a crack, and popped out half of his head.

    Shen Beidao is really dressed in home clothes and is busy in the kitchen. His back looks quite focused.

    Lin Yi quickly closed the door and locked it.

    Then he leaned against the door and resignedly sat down on the cold floor tiles.

    He picked up his phone and the screen lit up. It was a photo of a man in a suit standing on the podium. He went to the school’s official website and downloaded it specifically.

    He stared at the photo, his ears were so red that they were about to burn, and he started to solve it.

    Ten minutes later, Lin Yi walked out of the bathroom fully dressed.

    A bowl of steaming wontons has been placed on the restaurant table.

    “I wrapped it myself yesterday and put it in the refrigerator.” Shen Beidao handed him the chopsticks and said, “Try it.”

    Lin Yi pulled out the chair and sat down, scooped up a wonton and put it into his mouth.

    The skin is thin and filling, and it has a slight sweetness, which is his favorite taste.

    “Hmm! It tastes good!” His eyes lit up, he scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Shen Beidao’s mouth, “Don’t you want to eat it?”

    Shen Beidao shook his head: “I won’t eat after eight o’clock to stay in shape.”

    “Eat it if you like.” Lin Yi curled his lips and took the spoonful of wontons back into his mouth, eating until his cheeks were bulging.

    He ate quietly for a while, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Beidao, who was sitting opposite him and accompanying him:

    “If… they come to trouble you again because of Du Xiaoman, you don’t have to worry too much. Don’t wrong yourself because of me. You don’t have to forgive me if you don’t want to.”

    His voice was serious: “Kindness is a choice, not an obligation.”

    “Emotional experts say so!”

    Shen Beidao looked at him, and then he suddenly smiled. The smile was very light, but it made Lin Yi’s heart twitch slightly.

    “Then we,” Shen Beidao asked softly, with a hint of expectation in his voice, “are we reconciled?”

    Lin Yi didn’t expect that Shen Beidao didn’t seem to care about Du Xiaoman at all, but would feel impatient because he mentioned outsiders.

    There was always only one thing he cared about: their relationship.

    Lin Yi put down the spoon, wiped his mouth, and showed an unknown smile:

    “Professor Shen, what do you think?”

    ———————–

    The author has something to say: Ich mochte mit dir schlafen: I want to fuck you

    Professor Shen really coaxed the child, but when Baby Lin was coaxed into an embryo, he always kept in mind the slogan: Shen Beidao is a bad thing.

    May I ask who has good stuff that would deceive people?
