23: Chapter 23 Bai Yu's experiment is about to begin

"Chen Xiaolin, what are you doing?"

Opening his eyes, Qi Yun realized Chen Xiaolin was observing him from such a close distance and recoiled sharply.

"Qi Bao, I am admiring a work of art."

Chen Xiaolin blinked and responded with justified self-assurance.

Trying to talk to this girl about modesty and privacy was like playing the lute to a cow. He was completely out of options.

However, he had finished his bath, and his whole body felt more than just a little refreshed.

He picked up a clean animal skin from the side, covered his private parts, and walked quickly toward the warm fireplace.

Chen Xiaolin and the girls nodded in satisfaction, as if they had finished watching a satisfying performance.

Next was Xia Jin, who had followed Qi Yun out; without the slightest hesitation, she walked straight toward the bathtub.

Xia Jin untied the simple animal skin on her body as if no one else was around.

She was solely focused on bathing.

Unlike the Korean manhwa-like figure of Shu Qianxue.

Xia Jin's figure was tall and upright, with a well-proportioned and graceful frame.

Traces of years of exercise gave her firm, smooth lines, and her waist was cinched without an ounce of excess fat.

Water droplets slid down her smooth, firm skin.

Throughout the entire bathing process, she did not look at anyone in the room.

It was only when she submerged her body into the warm water, leaving only her neck and above above the surface, that she finally lifted her eyes.

Her gaze swept over Qi Yun, who was warming himself by the fireplace, and she couldn't help but feel curious.

"Did Qi Yun just look at my body?"

The rainstorm outside continued.

While warming himself by the fire, Qi Yun also opened the island chat channel.

"Damn it, why won't this rain stop! My thatched hut is about to become a water curtain cave!"

"Why are there only weird things in the chests? I opened a pile of stockings! Is this damn rabbit messing with us?!"

"The person above, be content. I opened a book called 'Postpartum Care for Sows'! I haven't even seen a single pig hair!"

It seemed that most of the things in the chests were very strange; thinking about it now, his bed curtains and bathtub blueprints were not bad at all.

According to the chat information, the rabbit had also placed some useful items, such as electric heaters and umbrellas.

However, people who found good items probably wouldn't broadcast it on the chat channel.

At this moment, Bai Yu came to Qi Yun's side and sat down right next to him.

"Are you ready for tonight's experiment?"

Qi Yun turned his head to look at Bai Yu. Because she often stayed in the laboratory, Bai Yu's skin was very fair, and her figure was soft.

"I am ready."

Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Qi Yun replied.

For Qi Yun, Bai Yu was very special.

On the day everyone learned about the clan leaders blessing, Bai Yu was the first to stand up and break the deadlock.

And the first is often special and the most unforgettable.

There were still a few hours until nightfall.

The girls passed the time, waiting in turn to take a bath.

Chen Xiaolin was standing in the bathtub at this moment; her hand, which had intended to take off the animal skin, suddenly stopped.

She turned her head to look at Qi Yun in the direction of the fireplace, her eyes curving into crescents:

"Qi Bao, help me bring over that clean animal skin; it's right next to you."

Qi Yun glanced at her, picked up the animal skin, walked over, and handed it to her.

Just as Qi Yun was about to approach the bathtub, Chen Xiaolin untied the animal skin on her body and turned on the sprinkler!

The warm water splashed down along her body, shimmering with a crystalline luster in the firelight.

Chen Xiaolin's figure possessed a healthy, well-proportioned fullness.

Years of outdoor activities gave her skin a wheat-colored luster, firm and elastic. Water droplets slid along her beautiful collarbone,

flowing over her full, rounded curves, gathering into a small stream at her slender, firm waist, and flowing downward.

"How is it?" Chen Xiaolin even turned around, displaying herself generously.

"Giving you a treat~"

Qi Yun was stunned.

No normal man could possibly look away in this situation.

Chen Xiaolin's figure, set against the firelight and the shimmering water, radiated a wild yet healthy beauty.

Water droplets rolled on her skin, as if coating this image with a layer of flowing luster.

But after a dozen seconds, Chen Xiaolin herself couldn't hold it together anymore.

Her originally smug smile froze on her face, and her cheeks flushed with a visible speed.

"Don't keep staring, I'll get shy."

She abruptly squatted down and buried her head in her knees.

Her voice grew smaller and smaller.

Qi Yun finally came to his senses and, with a hint of amusement, placed the clean animal skin on the edge of the bathtub:

"Wasn't it you who asked me to look?"

"Th-that, but you didn't have to look so seriously!" Chen Xiaolin buried her face in her legs, revealing only a pair of blinking eyes, her earlobes turning red.

The sound of the girls holding back laughter came from the fireplace side.

"Did Xiao Lin play herself into a corner?"

"Serves her right; who told her to always tease Qi Bao."

Qi Yun shook his head and returned to the fireplace to sit down.

This little interlude made the atmosphere much more relaxed.

Amidst the laughter, no one noticed that the Campus Belle Ye Xi was sitting alone in the shadows a little further away.

Her face still maintained that usual light and proper smile, looking as if she were just quietly resting.

However, the fingernails of the hand resting on her knee were unconsciously digging deeply into the tender flesh of her palm.

Watching Bai Yu get so naturally close to Qi Yun, she felt as if a stone were pressing on her chest.

Especially when thinking that in a few hours, this cold and aloof young girl before her would have Qi Yun's night.

And she could only listen from the side, a wave of bitterness surging into her heart.

She was jealous of Bai Yu, and also jealous of Shu Qianxue.

At the same time, she also hated herself for not standing up that day.

But if time could turn back, and she returned to that day.

Ye Xi knew she would still make the same choice; what she hated most was still her own lack of courage.

As things stood now, she didn't know what to do.

...

Night arrived.

"The experimental environment is ready."

Bai Yu, who was the last to finish bathing, slowly pulled open the bed curtains and announced calmly.

Under the moonlight, through the semi-transparent bed curtains, the girls could only see black silhouettes.

"It's starting, it's starting."

"Shh! Keep your voice down!"

Moonlight spilled onto her skin, which was so fair it was almost transparent, emitting a cold luster.

Bai Yu's expression was the same as usual, as her lips were about to touch Qi Yun's.

Her movements paused slightly, and she lifted her eyes to look at Qi Yun.

"Qi Yun, your heart rate has increased to about 110 beats per minute, far exceeding the resting baseline."

"Body surface temperature has simultaneously risen by 0.8 ℃."

Qi Yun looked at Bai Yu, who was still calmly analyzing, and in her eyes was his own flustered appearance.

What was most fatal was that Qi Yun could feel the warm breath she exhaled while analyzing.

In this situation, how could he possibly calm down?

"When the experiment enters the deep stage, your heart rate will soar even faster than mine, and your body temperature will also rise."

Qi Yun answered truthfully.

Qi Yun was someone who had done the experiment, so his words had a certain degree of credibility.

Hearing that she would undergo the same changes, a smile hung on Bai Yu's face.

"This experiment seems like it will be very interesting."

Afterward, Bai Yu kissed him gently, conducting dopamine intake.

"Then the next step of the experiment will be led by you, who has had experimental experience. I am looking forward to it."

Just at this moment, Qi Yun looked into Bai Yu's clear eyes, and a question that had lingered for a long time blurted out:

"What kind of experimental subject am I?"

Bai Yu did not answer immediately, but instead reached out to feel Qi Yun's heartbeat, her tone calm.

"This experiment requires the highest quality subject. You are the only subject who meets all the requirements in my mind, possessing uniqueness. And it cannot be changed."

"This experiment can only be conducted by you."

"Is this answer clear enough?"

Qi Yun saw a trace of possessiveness in those clear eyes.

No more words were spoken; it was just that some preparatory steps were needed before the "deep interaction experiment."
