"I see, I understand now. Such fine wine will certainly add a lot of color to Lady Ningguang's banquet."
Bai Xiao took another big gulp.
"You can drink slowly, there's no need to rush."
"I apologize for making a fool of myself in front of Mr. Xia."
"It's alright. I know you have a lot to do every day, but Miss Baixiao, you should also pay attention in the future. No matter how busy you are, you should still have time to drink water."
"Yes, I know..."
Bai Xiao blushed a little, too embarrassed to admit that she had deliberately drunk less water before coming over.
What a shame!
Hyakumonogatari is truly a killer!
All they do is come up with terrible ideas!
When I get back later, I'm going to make sure she knows what's what!
"Have you finished drinking?"
"Finished."
"Give me the cup."
"Ah."
Xia Zhi placed the empty cup aside.
"Miss Baixiao, please lie down again. The massage isn't finished yet. Let's continue."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Mr. Xia."
Bai Xiao lay on the small bed.
After drinking a glass of rainbow wine, she felt hydrated and revitalized, and her lips became moist again.
Xia Zhi poured out more essential oil and began massaging her.
Bai Xiao couldn't help but let out a comfortable sound.
Compared to her previous attempts to endure, her voice sounded somewhat different this time.
"Waaah~ Mr. Xia~"
"Ok?"
"You can use a little more force~ Hmm~"
"it is good."
"There~ Can you go a little higher~ Yes~ right there~ Great~"
"..."
No, you're so sadistic.
Xia Zhi couldn't help but glance at Bai Xiao.
Her face was slightly flushed at this moment.
But it wasn't just a blush of embarrassment; it was more of a drunken red.
Is she...drunk?
As Ningguang's personal butler, mainly responsible for business dealings and diplomatic activities, she should frequently participate in business social events. It's just a small glass of wine, is it really necessary?
Could it be because I swirled the wine glass in my hand a few times when I came back earlier, so that the wine was considered to have received the "Blessing of the Spring Spirit" twice?
Xia Zhi was a little curious about this. He glanced at the empty wine glass over there and decided to try it sometime in the future. Then he continued to massage Bai Xiao carefully.
Meanwhile, in the front hall, the girls' expressions changed again as they listened to the somewhat unrestrained and strange noises coming from the back hall.
So... no wonder they got dehydrated...
Chapter 255 I Love Working Overtime So Much
Just like yesterday, Xia Zhi also filled up Bai Xiao's Black Iron progress bar today.
"Progress bar has reached 100%, Black Iron Treasure Chest reward obtained."
Xia Zhi has another black iron treasure chest in his inventory.
We now have two Black Iron Chests.
Xia Zhi did not open them.
Since he has no need for items of Black Iron quality, he can simply purchase them directly with points.
However, for ordinary people, black iron items are considered good things.
Xia Zhi plans to keep the treasure chest for now, and add it as a special feature to the shop later.
"Miss Baixiao, it's all better now."
"Oh~"
"Go take a shower in the bathroom in the back. Miss Ningguang should have left some clean clothes there."
"Good~"
Bai Xiao got off the small bed and gave Xia Zhi a slightly charming smile.
Thank you so much, Mr. Xia!
Then, humming a song, she walked unsteadily toward the bathroom.
Xia Zhi smiled and shook her head, then tidied up the things in the back hall by herself.
in the bathroom.
The hot water washed away the smell of alcohol in no time.
Bai Xiao suddenly snapped out of her dazed and unrestrained state.
The words she had spoken to Mr. Xia during the massage echoed in her mind, making her face turn increasingly red, like a ripe tomato.
Die, die, die!
What exactly did I do?
She squatted on the ground, buried her face in her knees, and couldn't help but let out a low sob.
Not only did it spout nonsensical nonsense, but it also shouted so loudly!
Everyone outside must have heard it!
Waaaaah, I'm too ashamed to face Ningguang...
After squatting there for a while in despair, Bai Xiao finally stood up and took a bath with a worried expression.
She noticed that her skin had become a bit fairer.
Mr. Xia's essential oil is indeed very effective.
Bai Xiao touched her smooth arm, and her mood improved a little, but only a little.
Whenever she thinks about what happened during her previous massage, she has the urge to stay in the bathroom forever and never leave.
After dawdling for a while, Bai Xiao finally emerged slowly from the bathroom.
There was an enticing aroma of food in the air.
Bai Xiao heard the sound of stir-frying, and the aroma must be coming from the kitchen next door.
Is Mr. Xia already making dinner?
Bai Xiao patted her cheeks, mustered her courage, and went into the kitchen.
"Mr. Xia is cooking."
"Miss Baixiao, have you finished your bath?"
"Ah."
"Why don't you go sit in the front hall for a while? It's smoky here, don't get dirty. We'll eat together later."
"Alright, thank you for troubling you, Mr. Xia."
"You're welcome."
"Miss Zhu is starting a fire."
"hold head high!"
Mr. Xia and Ms. Zhu's expressions and tones were very natural, and the awkward situation that Bai Xiao had imagined did not occur.
This made Bai Xiao breathe a sigh of relief, and she walked out of the kitchen and into the front hall.
Ningguang sat with the Great Tree King, who was asking her some questions about economics.
