But since her last visit, the Wu Family were all over at the old master's place, she hadn't been staying here much recently, finding some hot water had become a chore, and with no choice left, she had to boil some herself, which delayed her for several minutes.

"Oh no, why did I go back to my room? My bed..."

Luo Xi suddenly realized this, but it was already too late, Qin Fang's large frame had been lying on her bed for several minutes.

For a girl like Luo Xi, who was still waiting for marriage, her bedroom was her private sanctuary, a space reserved solely for herself, where even her closest sisters could only enter with her permission.

As for men... sorry, they had no right to step foot in her room, let alone lie on the exquisite bed that privately belonged to the beauty.

But now, Luo Xi felt like crying without tears. Not only had Qin Fang entered her bedroom, but he had also taken over her exquisite bed, and the most crucial point was that it was she who had brought Qin Fang in...

Hence, Luo Xi could no longer stay put, she immediately grabbed the kettle that was not yet fully boiled and dashed straight to her room.

"Uh... where is this?"

Qin Fang opened his eyes, looking around at the very unfamiliar environment, his head still foggy.

He indeed had fainted from exhaustion just a while ago.

However, unlike others, Qin Fang did not become utterly defenseless in a faint; rather, the state was akin to deep sleep where all his body's indexes were quickly recovering, including his nearly depleted Inner Breath.

And since the time he fell unconscious, more than ten minutes had passed.

This short duration meant almost nothing for coma patients in critical condition, but for Qin Fang, it was enough to bring him back to a barely awake state.

Qin Fang then ate a few Baozi, restoring his strength, stamina, and other aspects to their optimal states, and now he was fully awake.

"Uh... this place is..."

But after waking up, Qin Fang naturally took a look around this unfamiliar setting. From the room's furnishings, design, and various scattered trinkets, his gaze finally settled on a photo by the bed.

"Damn, didn't see that coming. Quite the catch, huh..."

The photo was naturally of Luo Xi in her bikini swimsuit. Qin Fang had once touched Luo Xi's perky form; personally, he didn't think she was that big, but the feel was quite nice, it's just a pity that he couldn't truly get a good handle on them since they were covered by a brassiere.

Now looking at this photo, he got a direct impression and comparing the two, Qin Fang had to admit that he might have underestimated Luo Xi's firm and full pair.

"Tsk tsk, I wonder how she measures up to Cai Qing?"

Qin Fang chuckled to himself. This was a question that might only be answered after a direct comparison between the two women.

He had once had a casual grasp of both, but as those touches were quite cursory and not a thorough exploration, he couldn't definitively declare which was bigger.

Bang~~

The wooden door of the room was forcefully flung open, and Luo Xi rushed in, her face frantic. She was holding the half-boiling kettle, the warm water inside not yet accustomed to the sudden stop, steaming and spilling onto the floor.

"You... what are you trying to do?"

Qin Fang's face showed a hint of surprise, though a sly smile flickered in his eyes.

Then he suddenly scrunched up on the bed, leaning against the corner, covering his body with the pristine white quilt, and feigned a look of great fear on his face, appearing as pitiable and helpless as a delicate beauty facing several burly Black Ghosts!

Luo Xi was momentarily stunned, struggling to make sense of Qin Fang's reaction, but it was only for an instant. Soon, the shock on her face turned into realization and then into fury.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Luo Xi was on the verge of collapse. What kind of person was this? It was clearly you who took advantage of me, yet you talk as if I was the one trying to rape you.

Even if I really were to push you down, I'd still be the one at a disadvantage, it's my first time for goodness' sake!!!!!

At that moment, Luo Xi's emotions were more tangled and complex than ever. If it wasn't for the fact that this man had just saved her grandfather's life, teetering on the brink of death, she really wanted to stab him eight times with a knife.

But obviously, that was impossible. She couldn't repay kindness with ingratitude, let alone commit a crime.

Qin Fang wore a mischievous smile on his face, clearly very pleased with his own prank. However, this had truly infuriated Luo Xi.

Slap~~

Luo Xi actually threw the kettle she was holding directly at Qin Fang. As it flew through the air, the steaming hot water began splashing out incessantly.

"Damn, you're wicked... Ahh!!!"

Qin Fang too was stunned. He hadn't expected Luo Xi to actually throw a kettle filled with "boiling water" at him, cursing inwardly at the unfortunate situation.

The room was only so big, and the bed was not very large. Qin Fang was cornered against the wall, and even with his agility, he was already too late to escape.

The only thing he could do was to swat the kettle away just as it was about to completely hit him.

It was a very good idea, but unfortunately the kettle didn't seem to cooperate. Qin Fang hit it, but the water inside splashed out completely.

And so... Qin Fang got entirely drenched with the "boiling water," letting out a terribly agonizing scream as if he had just been scooped out of boiling water, with his skin instantly turning red all over...

"Ah... Disaster struck!"

As Luo Xi threw the kettle, she was dumbfounded herself. She had been infuriated by Qin Fang, and with a weapon just in her hand, she threw it without a second thought.

Women tend to do that, throwing things at people with whatever is at hand, and Luo Xi was no exception. However, while other women might just throw a pillow or cushion, Luo Xi went straight for a kettle filled with hot water...

Seeing Qin Fang's skin flush red, and steam visibly release from his drenched body, Luo Xi was completely stunned and rushed over without thinking. She had to save Qin Fang...

In reality, the water had been heated for a while but its temperature was only a little over sixty degrees—it was hot indeed but not scalding.

Qin Fang's resistance was extraordinary to begin with. Apart from feeling a bit of heat when the hot water first poured over him, he quickly felt nothing at all. Despite his screams of agony, he was actually fine.

Luo Xi, in her panic, had forgotten all her previous frustrations. Now, all she could think of was to save Qin Fang, and she threw herself onto the bed recklessly, clawing at Qin Fang's body, trying to rescue him...

But as her hands touched Qin Fang, feeling the dampness of his clothes, she suddenly froze...

"Does boiling water cool down that fast?"

She was a criminal police officer after all. She hadn't given it much thought before, but now she realized something was off. The remaining water was not hot; in fact, when her fingers touched it, it was only warm.

"You... you tricked me!"

When Qin Fang heard her sudden muttering, he knew he'd been caught. Turning over with a radiant smile, Luo Xi was taken aback for a moment but then quickly realized she'd been duped by Qin Fang again.

"Ahhh ahh ahh..."

Luo Xi suddenly, as if possessed, started shouting loudly and charged at Qin Fang. In a flash, she tackled him to the ground, and then she sat on Qin Fang's stomach, her hands gripping his neck in a pose that screamed, "I'm going to kill you!" (To be continued.
