In the steaming bathroom, Lu Li lay back contentedly in the bathtub. The warm steam filled the room, and rose petals, clearly from a special bath bomb, floated on the surface of the water. This was, of course, Chiori's doing.

Like a wife waiting on her hardworking husband, Chiori was currently showing her innate Yamato Nadeshiko side. She was pressing her delicate hands against his broad shoulders and back. Though she would never admit her attachment to him, when he had casually suggested she scrub his back, something only a married couple would do, she had agreed without hesitation.

As her fingertips pressed into his muscles, she noticed something. Though the marks were faint, why were there so many healed scratch marks on his back? Were they old training injuries?

If Lu Li knew what she was thinking, he would have been incredibly embarrassed. They weren't from training; they were from Arlecchino that morning.

He, however, was just enjoying her soft touch. He had already had a bath, but now, wearing only a bath towel, she might get cold. He secretly used his Pyro energy to heat the water further, then suddenly turned and pulled her into the tub with him.

He wasn't a selfish person. And besides, he had never experienced a scene like this before. The bath had completely washed away his fatigue. He was now in a state of peak excitement.

Chiori was flustered at first, then annoyed that she would have to wash again. But when she looked up to give him a few punches, she saw the clear, undisguised look in his eyes. Her indignation instantly turned to shyness. She knew what he was thinking.

"You... you beast..." she murmured, and under his gentle guidance, she moved closer.

Meanwhile, Lynette walked alone on the streets at night. The security in the upper districts of Fontaine was excellent, with guard Meka stationed every hundred meters. She arrived at Chiori's house and saw the lights on. Good, she's home and still awake.

A small smile appeared on her cute, puffy face. She went to knock, but the door was unlocked and swung open at her touch. She frowned, then stepped inside. In the entrance hall, she saw a pair of men's boots. Brother Lu Li's shoes! He's... he's at Chiori's tonight!

Her heart began to pound. She clutched the bag in her hand, not knowing what to do. After a moment, she made her decision. It would be rude to leave now that she was already here. At least she should give Sister Chiori the sleeve. I swear, I'm not going further in because I want to know what Brother Lu Li is doing here tonight!

The house was very quiet; the soundproofing was excellent. Just as she was thinking this, her cat ears twitched at a faint sound. She stood still, listening, and her face flushed. The sound was coming from the direction of the bathroom.

She made her choice. Normally, she should leave immediately and not disturb them. But... the frustration, the unwillingness to accept it, and most importantly, her curiosity, made her unable to resist. She tiptoed forward silently and peeked through the half-open bathroom door.

Her eyes widened, and her face turned beet red. Oh, it really is... just as I thought...

Chiori was braced against the wall in a "human bridge" position, her wet hair clinging to her back. If she could just focus, she would definitely have noticed the little cat peeking at her. However, her legs had almost given out completely, and if it weren't for someone supporting her, she would have already collapsed. Naturally, she had no spare thoughts to notice Lynette.

This position was too shameful, but also deeply intoxicating. And Lu Li, busy with his final engraving work inside the city, had no spare energy to notice what was happening behind him. He had just received some exciting news from Chiori. Today was a safe day. So, he wanted to take this opportunity to complete a full, undiluted irrigation.
