"You better stay at your side and not cross to mine," Jia furrowed her brows.
"Tsk. Why are you so cautious? I won’t eat you~"
"The way you say it makes believe that you will do exactly that."
Jia felt her muscles loosen up and she heaved a sigh of relief. Her thighs were especially sore after her race with Mingshen and she couldn’t help but grunt with pleasure at the perfect temperature.
But a thought gnawed at the back of her mind.
This was way too expensive for her. It reminded her of the ti Mingshen flashed his black card at the shopping mall as if money was dirt to him.
Well...money is indeed dirt for him...
She glanced at the curtain side and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
"Because it’s a date~?"
Her mouth twitched. "Co out of your one sided fantasy and tell the truth. What are you plotting?"
"Hm~" An alluring chuckle sounded from the other side. "I will tell you if you co to my side."
Jia frowned. "Well then I don’t want to know."
"Are you sure? It’s way out of your bank balance’s league so I thought your heart would be writhing in more pain and distress to see the bills."
"More than seeing the bills, you just want to see in a bikini, don’t you?" She dryly asked.
His lazy voice echoed. "You are one sexy woman. I am a man. That equation seems to match, doesn’t it~?"
Jia swam to the center of the pool and floated her body on it. "Since when are you interested in the opposite gender?"
"I am not interested in the opposite gender. I interested in Spicy who is of the opposite gender~"
"Ugh, why don’t you ever give straightforward answers?"
"Well I am- aaahhh ouch!!"
Her eyes widened. "Mingshen?"
"Ugh..." he groaned in pain. "Fuck!"
"What happened?" Jia stood alert.
"Ow, ow, ow!!!"
She climbed out of her hot spring and made a dash towards the other side. She slid the curtain in haste and asked breathlessly, "Are you okay? Did you get into so accident?"
Mingshen looked up at a concerned Jia with an arched brow, his back leaned against the hot spring’s edge. The steam rose around him like a misty veil, casting his sharp features in a mysterious glow. His dark hair clung to his forehead, droplets of water trailing down his chiseled jaw and toned chest.
There was a calm, almost dangerous stillness to him as if beneath the serene surface lay a mind always plotting and one step ahead. The heat seed to fuel the devilish smirk tugging at the corners of his lips, making him look untouchably confident.
And with all that seductive aura surrounding him, he was holding a bowl of shaved ice with a flavor that looked rosy colored. He was having his own pool party.
"..."
"Ooooo, Spicy finally couldn’t resist the temptation! Co on, Spicyyy! Jump right into my arms!" he bead.
Her gaze darkened. "So you fooled ."
"Fooled?" He blinked.
"Don’t act innocent! What about all the painful noises you were making as if you got seriously hurt?"
"Ah! I just got a brain freeze from eating the shaved ice too fast~ No biggie," his eyes twinkled with mischief.
At that mont, Jia had this unstoppable urge to wring his neck and drown him in this hot spring.
"Ugh, I was an idiot! You did it on purpose. I just know it!"
Fuming, she turned to leave but his hand grabbed her wrist, tumbling her body down and she splashed into the pool. She ca out of the water, gasping for air. She turned her head to face him very slowly with a gaze as ferocious as a tigress.
"I will kill you," she spoke through gritted teeth.
"Sure, but have so shaved ice first~" Mingshen chirped and offered her a bowl. "Which flavor would you like to add?"
"How about your blood?"
"Aish, that won’t be too appetizing Spicy. But if you want to rge my blood with yours and beco one, then I won’t mind~ That’s a turn on for ~" His cheeks turned the sa rosy shade as his shaved ice’s flavor.
"I am supposed to have my privacy!" She glared at him and pointed at the curtain.
He waved his hand in dismissal. "There is no concept of privacy with , Spicy. We are inseparable~ Anyway, now that you are already here, stay."
"You are shaless!"
His eyes widened. "Did you just realize it?"
Jia wished to drown herself at that point.
"Have the blackberry flavor!" He grinned and forcibly pushed a bowl of shaved ice in her hands.
"..."
Mingshen pouted. "Spicy, I am waiting for you to gush and blush at least a little bit. A handso man and a beautiful woman are in a hot spring, half-naked and dripping with water so sexily with steam all around and you aren’t even a least bit conscious?"
She smiled dangerously. "I am fully conscious in my desire to kill you but I am holding back on those urges."
"I would rather you have so perverted urges instead~"
"Why don’t you flirt with a woman who actually wants to be flirted with by you?" she dryly comnted.
He chuckled. "Won’t there be millions of won swooning for it?"
I swear this narcissistic man...
"Besides, what about my consent to flirt with the woman I want?" He pursed his lips in grievance.
"You don’t want to flirt with . You just want to ss with and entertain yourself."
Mingshen blinked and looked genuinely surprised. "I admit that’s a part of it but I do like flirting with you."
His brow twitched heavily. "Next you will say that you won’t mind kissing either."
"Hm? I don’t."
"..."
"What? You don’t believe ?"
"You cannot be serious. I am not your girlfriend and neither do you like romantically."
He raised his brow ever so slowly. Before Jia could react, his long arm snaked around her waist and pulled her against his naked torso. His black eyes stared at her with a dark glint. The tip of his index finger gently tugged her chin up, hovering to touch her lower lip.
"So? You are strong, no-nonsense and attractive. You stand for your ideals the way I stand for mine. I find that very alluring in a woman. So tell . Why wouldn’t I want to kiss you?"
