It's true that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Yun Ming gently caressed the girl's skin with clean water; it was very smooth, but not entirely so.
His gaze swept over her; only her face and the major bloodstains on the outside had been wiped clean. Under her armpits and on the soles of her feet, residue still remained.
It must have been very uncomfortable… As the hot water soaked her skin, the crimson gradually spread.
One basin of water wasn't enough, but Yun Ming didn't even need to leave. He used a spell to control objects and change the water.
He washed her bright pink hair.
He applied shampoo, covering her head with bubbles. When rinsing, he had the girl lie on his lap, leaning back. Nicole lay there very obediently.
She allowed the water to cascade over her head.
She just stared at the boy's serious face, just like the Orphanage director and teachers, but she hadn't needed the Orphanage director or teachers to wash her for a long time.
Washing with her older brother was just a way to get closer to him.
Her small hand secretly landed on her older brother's chest. Hmm, it was firm, his muscles smooth and strong.
"Don't move around."
"Oh, it feels so nice, can't I touch it?"
Yun Ming glanced at the girl's innocent eyes, a little helpless. If she wanted to… he didn't need to be so strict and rigid.
"…Sigh, then just touch if you want to."
Nicole's eyes narrowed, curving into crescents, as if she had received an imperial decree. She moved closer to Yun Ming and rubbed, rubbed, rubbed—
She was just joking earlier; it wouldn't be just once.
Next time, she wanted her older brother to wash her too. So gentle, so happy! A lifetime of such happiness wouldn't be enough.
Yun Ming didn't know what the girl was thinking; he just diligently rubbed her hair. After rinsing with clean water, her pink hair looked beautiful—
Like a color that only existed in dreams.
It was probably like a candy house in a fairy tale, full of sweetness. Nicole should be a girl like that.
"You don't have to be afraid anymore, Master will protect you. Nicole is truly beautiful… In the future, many fellow disciples will definitely like her."
"What about Older Brother?"
"Trying to trick me again? But… of course I like her too."
Yun Ming suddenly understood his Senior Sister's feelings for him back then. Washing him wasn't just to tease him, but because she truly saw him as a younger brother.
Bathing together was a very happy thing.
Surrounded by warm water, the world was quiet. The mist swirled, obscuring everything else, with only each other for company.
The distance between their hearts felt very close at this moment.
It was as if nothing was unspeakable!
Even for brothers, it was the same. During a bath, there was no need to think about other things; one could chat freely and openly.
"Nicole will also scrub Older Brother's back!"
After getting clean, the little girl became incredibly vain, showing off her beautiful pink hair in front of Yun Ming. She seemed to know she was very cute and beautiful.
She kept on acting spoiled.
That was really bad… A loli-con's self-restraint training?
He couldn't hold back at all; he still wanted to pet her. If he wanted to pet her, he would pet her. Yun Ming was always a man of action.
He smiled and agreed to the girl's words.
Although he didn't need his back scrubbed.
But since they were already washing, it could be considered experiencing the little loli's service. Reciprocity was key to a good relationship.
But just as the two were immersed.
The other two little white-haired girls snuck into Guan Yun Courtyard. Seeing that only the bathroom light was on in the house, their courage grew with their mischief.
"Sister, should we sneak in?"
"Isn't that bad? What if, what if Master isn't wearing clothes?"
Although Yi Jiang said this, her body was very honest. Washing with Master, oh… washing with Master!!!
So fast?
Anyway, at most, she could just say it was Yi Xuan's idea. Her younger sister was so innocent and cute, Master wouldn't suspect a thing.
She just had to quietly slip into Master's arms.
She wouldn't do anything else, at most a hug, a kiss, and then a little mischief to tease Master… While the older sister was thinking this, the younger sister had already acted.
Yi Xuan always acted on her thoughts. She quickly stripped naked, not shy about her bare bottom, and walked boldly towards the light.
Did she think she was bathing with the Senior Sister?
Or did she think she was a three-year-old kid?
As the older sister, Yi Jiang naturally couldn't let this happen. She picked up the spotless white panties from the floor and took a step forward.
Her face was flushed, yet she dared not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the people in the bathroom. Her movements were very agitated.
"Idiot Yi Xuan, at least wear something!"
"Why? If it gets wet, I won't be able to wear it right away… Sister?"
Yi Xuan tilted her head, looking adorable.
"…"
Good question, it left Yi Jiang speechless.
She didn't want to tarnish her younger sister's innocence too much. As an older sister, how could she discuss those things with her younger sister?
Her younger sister still thought of herself as a child.
Master also treated her younger sister as a child. At most, after going in, she would be scolded and told not to do it again.
It was a consensual matter; what right did she have to say anything?
But no!
She couldn't let Master see her younger sister. These two idiots… Yi Jiang was very stubborn, and eventually Yi Xuan could only compromise, happily planning to rush in and give Master a surprise.
But the closer she got, the clearer the voices from the bathroom became.
Someone… "Older Brother, hug me~"
"Stop being clingy, your bellyband is about to fall off, you silly girl… Stop rubbing. It's not like I'm going to disappear after tonight."
Yun Ming used his hand to push against the little loli's head, leaning back against the wooden tub with a hint of helplessness, occasionally engaging in a water fight with the little one.
Although his words expressed reluctance.
But to make Nicole happy, his body was quite honest. Who wouldn't like a constantly fragrant, soft, and clingy little loli?
Heh heh, it was all just an adult's pretense of modesty.
"Master!!!!"
A shocked and wronged cry suddenly rang out, instantly startling Yun Ming.
He inwardly cursed, then turned his head.
"Good disciple, let me explain!"
The little white-haired girl angrily pushed open the door, ran to the bathtub, and with her chubby little legs, plopped in, securing a spot.
Splash, water splashed out.
She resurfaced and hugged one of Yun Ming's arms.
She stared resentfully at the little pink-haired girl, "Who is she? Who is this little pink-haired girl? Senior Sister clearly said Master likes white hair the most!"
"And it's unfair…"
"Master has never even bathed with Yi Xuan!"
"Uh…"
Yun Ming's smile stiffened. He wanted to say something to appease Yi Xuan, but then he saw that little girl Nicole pouting… "Master, what am I?"
"This Older Sister is so fierce, I'm scared…"
"Does Master not like Nicole's hair color?"
The little pink-haired girl bit her lip, employing her usual pitiful technique, and pressed herself against him.
No, you!
Yun Ming's eyes widened. Just now, when he told you to call him Master, you refused no matter what, but now you're very clever.
Weren't you the children's leader at the Orphanage before?
You're scared… Scared that if you sold Yi Xuan, she'd still help you count the money? Can you be any more pretentious?
