Maybe he sensed her embarrassment, He Jingyao’s lips once again curved into a smile.

Su Zixi met his knowing smile, feeling like she was about to cry.

He was doing this on purpose!

The more awkward she was, the happier he felt!

If he wanted to, he could have made some space for her to climb out. But it seemed that he had no intention of doing so.

He was just waiting for a chance to take advantage of her!

Su Zixi’s breathing became rapid… entirely out of anger!

“What’s wrong?” But of course, someone played dumb, asking with a sincere face.

His hoarse voice betrayed the suppressed desire within him.

Su Zixi’s face turned red, looking at that wicked face with extra resentment!

So, she didn’t care anymore. She simply used her hands to push against his chest, using that force to place her feet out of the pool, and then struggled to climb out…

This time, the man finally didn’t mess with her, and when she successfully climbed out of the bathtub, she was so excited she almost cried.

Su Zixi didn’t care about her drenched body; the moment she steadied herself, she hurriedly walked out. But who knew that a loud splash would sound behind her! In the next second, an arm circled her waist again, and her back was pressed against a solid chest!

The strong hormonal aura surrounded her once more! The scorching heat from their bodies pressed together spread through her limbs, making Su Zixi feel like she was going to burn up!

And still, the hard, scorching He Jingyao pressed arrogantly against her lower back…

Earlier in the water, the warm water provided some barrier, making the skin contact not overly awkward, but now… waves of tingling sensations made her almost unable to stand.

“He Jingyao!” Su Zixi yelled angrily, struggling desperately to pry his arms off, as if doing so could prove she wasn’t moved.

But his arms remained unmoved, instead, he easily clasped her wrists with his other hand.

He Jingyao chuckled, his breath fully falling onto her ear, causing a wave of numbness.

Su Zixi felt like an electric current ran through her body… her heart trembled, and she subconsciously bit her lip.

“Su Zixi.” He bit her ear and said, “You started this fire, don’t you need to do something about it?”

“What does it have to do with me!” She retorted harshly, her eyes flickering.

“Then what should I do?” His breathing seemed to deepen, “It’s being very naughty right now, if I don’t calm it down, how can I take you to see the surveillance?”

As he spoke, he gently moved his body forward.

Su Zixi’s legs went weak, and she almost knelt to the ground!

She felt like crying without tears…

If it weren’t for wanting to see the surveillance footage, how would she have ended up in this predicament?

Su Zixi suddenly felt she was really foolish; it wasn’t like He was the only one who could access that hotel’s surveillance. Why did she, under some spell, end up coming here with him?

By this time, even if she managed to escape his grasp, she couldn’t go back to the dorm to sleep…

“You… you figure it out yourself!” Su Zixi, ashamed and indignant to the point of death, recklessly said, “Don’t you have hands?”

“Hmm?” He Jingyao’s pupils widened slightly, followed by heavier breathing.

Hands? Yes, hands could work too.

The most important thing is, this woman’s small hands are as soft as if they have no bones…

Too bad Su Zixi was facing away from him, otherwise, she would see the gleam in He Jingyao’s eyes…
