Chapter 103 - A Golden Basin For Bathing
But the boy's gaze had not left the freestanding bathtub in the middle of the room since he had entered the spacious bathroom.
"Childe Yuan, is this basin for bathing?" Qiuchen's eyes shone with eagerness as he touched the white, shiny, eggshell-shaped bathtub with awe.
"You really have an eye for good stuff, actually coveting my bathtub!" Looking at the boy's awe-stricken face, Yuan Ge couldn't resist the urge to show off, "It's a Duravit freestanding Jacuzzi, made of artificial stone."
Although Rong Qiuchen could not understand Yuan Ge's description, his ability to deduce the meaning through the tone of voice and facial expressions was not weak.
"Childe Yuan, what you mean is....…that this is like a golden basin for bathing?"
"Well, yeah, sort of." Yuan Ge was quite pleased with himself. He was just about to say that this bathtub was for his personal use only and that no one else had ever used it before he saw the boy say with an envious look on his face, "The bathing basin that the Third Lord used was made of water-fossilised camphorwood, while your basin, Childe Yuan, looks even more comfortable and beautiful than the Third Lord's. It feels just like white jade!"
Yuan Ge was so flattered by what he said that he immediately forgot his principles and blurted out rather generously, "If you really want to take a bath that badly, I'll make an exception and let you use it once."
Before the words were fully out of his mouth, he saw the boy flashing a big smile and nodding eagerly. Yuan Ge sighed inwardly, why did he always give in so easily in front of this guy? However, looking at his dirty little face, he suddenly felt a little reluctant to let him mess with his fancy bathtub, so he quickly added, "You can use it, but you have to shower first before you can take a bath."
Luckily, Rong Qiuchen had mastered the use of the shower after his last experience in the Yandai Byway flat. By the time the tub was filled with hot water, he had already finished washing his long hair, cleaned his body from top to toe and joyfully slid himself into the eggshell-shaped tub, his face looking so content as if he had arrived in heaven.
Yuan Ge couldn't help but feel a little amused when he looked at his face that was too happy for words, "Well, enjoy yourself, I'm going to put the washing machine on and find you some clothes to change into as well."
When Yuan Ge returned to the bathroom, all he saw was water spilling all over the floor, but no one was in the bathtub.
What the hell was going on here! Could one drown in the bathtub even by taking a bath?
Yuan Ge rushed forward to take a closer look, and immediately felt a pearly white object fluttering at him, making a huge splash. When he wiped the water off his face and opened his eyes, he saw Rong Qiuchen bursting out from under the water, looking at him with a happy face at the edge of the tub.
"Why are you so restless even in the bath, flopping about, spilling water all over the floor!"
Yuan Ge wanted to reprimand him for his child-like naughtiness, playing in the bath at his age, but instead he was stunned by the sight before him - the boy's long wet hair cascading behind him, his handsome face uncovered, his drenched features more striking, and he looked even more breathtakingly beautiful; what's more, he was in a rare happy mood, smiling as he lay on the edge of the tub, wet and fluffy like a cute little aquatic animal.
"So you like to play with water, uh? I'll let you have all the fun you want today!"
Yuan Ge shifted his gaze, not daring to look at Rong Qiuchen's stunning pearly white body submerged in the water. He threw a Lush bath bomb into the bathtub and pressed the Jacuzzi's on button. Instantly, the motor roared and more than thirty nozzles of the jacuzzi jetted together, a huge wave of foam gushing to the surface.
Immediately, Yuan Ge saw the boy flopping about in the bathtub like a mermaid in panic. The water flow was so strong, the walls of the bath so smooth, and he was too blinded by the foam to get up; his slick, fish-like body twisting and turning, trying to get up, then falling back into the water again. Yuan Ge forgot that he himself was soaking wet from the splashing water and foam and laughed heartily at Rong Qiuchen's wretched state.
"Childe Yuan! What kind of demonic spell are you using again!" Drowning in the bubbles and red-eyed, Rong Qiuchen wailed like a mistreated baby animal.
"Don't be so dramatic! Hahaha! This is the ultimate treat, what are you afraid of!" Yuan Ge took the hose and helped him rinse the foam off his face and pushed him back into the tub, "Don't move, you'll know why this is the ultimate treat in a moment."
