"A Yu..." Zexun’s voice was low.

Jiang Zheyu was enveloped by a huge, scorching body, the heat washing over her from above.

She paused for a moment. Before she could speak, the fox’s head lowered, and its tongue licked her cheek.

Jiang Zheyu: !

Jiang Zheyu: ...

She hurriedly pushed the fox’s head away. "Ah, my face is all sweaty!"

"A Yu, I’m so hot..." Zexun lowered his fox head and gently bit Jiang Zheyu’s shoulder.

Jiang Zheyu wiped her face with her hand. "I’m hot too. Hurry up and change back into your human form."

"Is A Yu hot?" Zexun’s fox head lowered to bite the hem of Jiang Zheyu’s nightgown. "Then I’ll help A Yu take her clothes off."

Her head was so hot that her thoughts were a jumble. ’If it’s hot, taking off your clothes is pretty normal, right?’

Besides, she and Zexun were Beast Mates, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about being open with each other.

"Mm," Jiang Zheyu hummed softly.

The clothes were tugged upward by his teeth.

Jiang Zheyu felt a warm, wet sensation on her calf.

The fox lowered its head and bit down on her leg, enclosing her calf in its mouth as a warm sensation slid over her skin.

Her leg, held in his mouth, was lifted slightly.

The silk nightgown slipped down.

Jiang Zheyu propped herself up on the bed with her hands, trying to sit up. "Zexun, what are you doing?"

She tugged at her leg, but couldn’t pull it out of his fox mouth.

"A Yu, I’m so hot..." Zexun changed back into his human form and slowly kissed Jiang Zheyu’s lips.

Jiang Zheyu realized what was happening. She stiffened for a moment, but then slowly wrapped her arms around Zexun’s neck.

’So that’s why he was burning up?’

The wind swept in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, gently stirring the curtains and sending ripples through the fabric.

...

When morning came, Zexun carried Jiang Zheyu to wash up again. After helping her finish, he dried her off and helped her get dressed.

Zexun quickly carried her back to the room and kissed her forehead. "I’m going to go wash up now, too."

"Okay," Jiang Zheyu replied.

Her eyes were half-open, still feeling sleepy. It slowly dawned on her that Zexun had just tended to her every need—bathing her, brushing her teeth, washing her face, and dressing her. She silently covered her face. ’I feel like someone who can’t even take care of herself now.’

But then Jiang Zheyu remembered last night’s frenzy, and her legs were still sore.

Instantly, she felt at peace with it. ’After how exhausted I was last night, Zexun *should* be taking good care of me.’

Jiang Zheyu spaced out on the bed for a while.

A knock came from the door. "Master, you can come down for breakfast now."

Only then did Jiang Zheyu get out of bed. She called to Zexun in the bathroom, "A Xun, I’m heading down first."

Zexun heard her and replied, "Okay, go on. Don’t let yourself get hungry."

Jiang Zheyu slowly opened the door and went out.

"Master." Jiang Yi looked at her and gave a faint smile. But when his gaze fell on the suggestive red marks on Jiang Zheyu’s neck, his eyes darkened slightly, a hint of coldness mixed within.

"Thanks for your hard work, Jiang Yi." Jiang Zheyu quietly took Jiang Yi’s hand. "Mm, let’s go down."

Jiang Yi paused. The frantic emotions raging inside him instantly subsided, but jealousy continued to spread through his heart. ’How can I make the Master like me more than the others?’

After going downstairs, Jiang Zheyu smelled something burning and heard some noises coming from the kitchen.

She looked toward the kitchen in surprise. "Jiang Yi, was the stove left on? I smell something burning."

Jiang Yi also raised an eyebrow toward the kitchen, a cold, mocking smile touching his lips. "Someone wanted to make you breakfast. It seems they failed."

Just then, thick smoke billowed out of the kitchen.

Feng Qi emerged from the thick smoke, coughing as he came out. He looked up and immediately met Jiang Zheyu’s gaze.

His violent coughing stopped for a second, but then he couldn’t help but start coughing again, though this time more slowly.

His handsome face was stained with soot.

He wiped his face. "Looks like the kitchen and I don’t get along."

"Feng Qi?" Jiang Zheyu paused, looking at him.

Feng Qi immediately walked over to Jiang Zheyu, his face breaking into a bright smile. He gave a light cough. "Ahem, I wanted to make you breakfast too, but I failed. You should go eat. I’m going to take a shower."

His hands were dirty too, so he didn’t touch Jiang Zheyu.

"Okay, you’d better go." Jiang Zheyu couldn’t help but smile.

Feng Qi quickly went upstairs to shower.

Jiang Zheyu’s gaze followed him for a moment as he walked away.

Jiang Yi squeezed Jiang Zheyu’s hand, and only then did she pull her gaze back from Feng Qi.

"Master, come and try what I’ve made." Jiang Yi led Jiang Zheyu back to the dining table.

Jiang Zheyu looked at the delicious food and sighed in admiration. She looked up at Jiang Yi. "It really has to be you, Jiang Yi. Breakfast looks delicious again today."

"Mm." Jiang Yi smiled with gentle indulgence and reached out to pat Jiang Zheyu’s head. "Won’t the Master give Jiang Yi a reward?"

Jiang Zheyu paused, then looked up at him with a faint smile. "What kind of reward do you want?"

Jiang Yi slowly bent down, turning his cheek toward Jiang Zheyu. "Master, I want you to give me a kiss."

He said it frankly, yet gently.

Jiang Zheyu thought it was a simple enough request!

"Alright," Jiang Zheyu said with a smile, reaching out with both hands to cup Jiang Yi’s face.

She turned his face toward her.

Then, to Jiang Yi’s stunned surprise, she gave him four quick kisses.

One on his left cheek, one on his right, one on his forehead, and one on his lips.

Jiang Zheyu gave a mischievous smile. "There, reward delivered."

Jiang Yi had only wanted one kiss, but Jiang Zheyu gave him four.

His chip started to overheat again.

Jiang Yi unconsciously licked his lips. The soft touch from a moment ago sent a shiver through his entire body, as if all the wires inside him had short-circuited.

He liked his Master so much, his Master Yu Yu.

Zexun came downstairs and saw this scene. Jealousy sprouted like dark mushrooms in his heart, yet his gorgeous, bewitching face showed no sign of his inner turmoil.

He walked to Jiang Zheyu’s side, deliberately wearing a pink shirt with an open collar that clearly revealed a bloody bite mark on his neck.

He had gone too far last night, and the little female had bitten him.

But being bitten by her actually seemed to make him even more...

"A Yu, have some of this." Zexun sat down beside Jiang Zheyu with practiced ease, then just as naturally picked up a dumpling and offered it to her lips.

Jiang Yi, standing on her other side, used another pair of chopsticks to snatch the dumpling from Zexun’s and place it back on the plate. He said coolly, "Don’t disturb the Master while she’s eating."
