The result of three people in one bathtub was so ambiguous and awkward, yet nearly naked they met, already together. After the initial awkwardness, the two women were able to face it relatively calmly.

Though it felt quite inappropriate, being so close to Li Yan and being seen by him, people always find a way. Qiao Huanxuan considered the difference in status and actively shifted her position, forming a "川" shape. However, it wasn't the "川" with the two women on the sides and Li Yan in the middle; instead, Zhang Yurong was in the middle, she leaned against Zhang Yurong, with the two of them at one end, and she at the other end.

Thus, the three of them were skin-to-skin close together, and it didn't matter anymore. Li Yan and Zhang Yurong are married, being nakedly close is reasonable; and Qiao Huanxuan leaning against Zhang Yurong without touching Li Yan, naturally carried no taboo.

Regarding this arrangement left unsaid, Li Yan and Zhang Yurong both tacitly accepted and praised it. It was indeed the most appropriate arrangement, so none of the three felt awkward or restrained. Li Yan was even more grateful. Last night he had already caressed and touched Yurong's body to a large degree, but he hadn't stripped completely, and it was in the darkened bed sheets, only feeling without tactile and visual senses. Now, tightly leaning naked together like this, made him very happy, bringing him closer physically to Yurong, a good thing.

Now the only awkward one was Zhang Yurong. However, in front of Qiao Huanxuan, she had to portray a natural demeanor, not letting the rival discover the name-only relationship between her and Li Yan. But whether due to these days of sleeping together, last night's further influence, or because her body had just been numbed by the cold, even sticking close to Li Yan's body didn't make her feel very sensitive.

After adjusting their posture, the three shared the ginger soup, then silently soaked in the hot water, enjoying the inside-outside, outside-inside warmth elimination.

As everyone had settled down, the water that was to overflow had overflowed, forming a level surface in the bathtub. With no topics on hand, Li Yan suddenly said with a smile: "Three of us not moving, I won't stir the water with my hands or blow air, yet I can make the bathtub water overflow more, do you believe it?"

Yurong and Qiao Huanxuan rolled their eyes at him, finding it a little dull. But since the three were soaking in hot water together, in the absence of anything else, a dull game was still better than nothing.

"Alright then, nobody is allowed any movement, I'll see how you make the water overflow." Qiao Huanxuan casually replied.

Li Yan smiled mysteriously, "I have Qi Gong!"

He glanced at them, then slowly closed his eyes, posing as a mystic.

After a while, the now quiet bathroom could hear the sound of some water dripping, though not loud or intense, even if they observed the bathtub edge where the level was hard to discern, water dripping onto the floor undoubtedly proved more water had overflowed from the bathtub.

"How about it? It really worked?" Li Yan opened his eyes and smiled.

Yurong frowned slightly, "How did you do it? Could it be..."

Her words trailed off, but Qiao Huanxuan figured it out, interjecting with a huff: "You actually farted in the water! So gross and boring!"

"...!"

Li Yan felt awkward, he'd mentioned Qi Gong just to appear mysterious, who knew they'd associate it with farting! He chuckled bitterly and defended himself, "Wronged, if I farted underwater, if it could stir a dark tide, shaking the whole bathtub of water, that would be exaggerated. If that really happened, wouldn't there be sounds or splashes?"

The topic was indeed crude and unbecoming, Yurong and Huanxuan ignored him disdainfully.

Initially just trying to pique their curiosity, unwilling to explain, Li Yan now had to reveal the secret, to clear the shameful suspicion of farting during a bath with beauties.

"When I first got in, because my body took up space in the bathtub, it squeezed much water out; earlier, our bodies didn't move, so the bathtub maintained its level. Why a little water overflowed again, because I subtly occupied some bathtub space. Honestly, the truth is simple, I just made the once contracted area swell in the water, naturally taking up a bit more space, so a bit of water squeezed out."

It was better when he didn't explain; after explaining, Yurong and Huanxuan turned their faces away, muttering 'rascal'!

Li Yan was speechless, how was this worse than farting? Rascal?

Upon closer inspection, seeing them turn their faces away, especially avoiding sight towards the bathtub, he immediately realized, breaking into sweat, "I'm dizzy! What were you thinking? I meant secretly taking a deep breath to swell the contracted chest cavity and abdomen, occupying space and squeezing out the water."

Thinking of their misunderstanding, he couldn't help but laugh to himself.

Zhang Yurong and Qiao Huanxuan, after hearing his explanation, indeed thought he was talking about 'that place', and only realized the mistake after his further clarification, their faces flushed speechless.
