Chapter 582: Chapter 581: Peaceful (1)
Xia Siyu was speechless. When he spoke of “taking a bath,” it was clear it wasn’t just as simple as “taking a bath together.”
Bo Yan never treated himself poorly, especially at times like this. She continued to refuse, “No need, I can go by myself. Besides, didn’t you already take a bath?”
Saying this, she struggled to get down from Bo Yan.
Bo Yan bent down once again, this time to lift her horizontally into his arms, “It’s okay, I have a kind heart. I’ll take you with me, and I’ll take another bath with you.”
Bo Yan carried her to the bathroom, where she showered first, while he filled the bathtub with water. By the time she had finished bathing, the bathtub was full.
Whenever he soaked in the bath, Bo Yan would feel dissatisfied with the size of the tub at home; it was too small. If it were like that round massage bathtub at the hotel they last stayed in, bathing would have been so much more enjoyable.
Yet, every time he squeezed into this bathtub with Xia Siyu, he felt its size was just right. If it were any larger, she wouldn’t be leaning against him as she was.@@novelbin@@
During this time, not only Xia Siyu was exhausted, but Bo Yan was equally tired. The two of them leaned against the bathtub, steam rising around them, and Bo Yan had even started an aromatherapy diffuser in the bathroom.
This natural aroma was different from the chemically concocted ones; it was fresh and natural. Moreover, he had thoughtfully brought a bottle of ice wine!
Ice wine is a type of white wine, made only after the grapes have frozen in winter, and served chilled in an ice bucket. With its low alcohol content and sweet taste, it was perfect for sipping in a bath like this.
Before, when Qin Baizhou suggested treating them, she did not want to go. But now, soaking in the bath and sipping the cool, sweet wine at home seemed to dissolve all her fatigue, leaving her body feeling lazy and warm.
Bo Yan could naturally see her gradually easing brows and increasingly relaxed demeanor. Even though he didn’t ask, the dark circles under Xia Siyu’s eyes and the weariness in them after she removed her makeup weren’t fake.
Sometimes, watching artists with only one engagement a day, but inconveniently located in different cities, means exhausting travel. Like him today, traveling from the Northwest back to Yancheng, spending eight or nine hours on the road.
Being an artist, unless one really scrimped and saved, was mostly exhausting, often running on overdrawn energy just to keep up with work.
He too had not understood before, only after immersing himself in the industry did he realize how hard it was.
Though Xia Siyu had a fiery temper, her work ethic was exquisite. She had even fainted from exhaustion before while in Sicily; and during the last few times they worked together, she had been very dedicated.
As much as he wanted to be close to her, he wanted even more for her to be happy. If she felt that work brought her joy, he wouldn’t force her to leave the industry but would continue supporting her journey.
Some things didn’t need to be asked, some words didn’t need to be said; just seeing the result was enough.
The result was, without Bo Yan making any moves, Xia Siyu had a bit of wine and comfortably fell asleep in the bathtub, her head resting on his shoulder. He tilted his head and could see her eyes peacefully closed in sleep, her breathing even.
Bo Yan didn’t disturb her, instead, he gently lifted her up. It was a good thing she had already finished washing up and removed her makeup. After leaving the bathroom, he dried her off with a towel, and changed her into pajamas. Xia Siyu was truly exhausted; she didn’t wake up even with all the movement. Once he changed her into the most comfortable position, she fell into a deep sleep.
What do you think?
