She was cold and in pain and could not say a word. Xie Jing walked into the cabin. There were usually some heaters and clothes in these exquisite pleasure boats. He took out a furnace from the wooden box and lit it with a lighter, adding a little charcoal.

The furnace started to burn as the boat swayed in the lake. Xie Jingxing glanced at Shen Miao and suddenly smiled. “I am going to change. Do you want to keep your eyes open?”

Shen Miao suddenly closed her eyes and heard a chuckle, followed by the sound of clothes being put on. A moment later, Xie Jingxing said, “Done.”

Shen Miao opened her eyes. Xie Jingxing was buttoning the last button. He had changed into a dark green robe and was wearing a white fox fur coat, making him look cold and solemn. A pair of dark eyes stared at Shen Miao with a faint smile. “Do you want to change too?”

She was wearing wet clothes, so it was very easy for her to catch a cold. Even if she sat by the furnace to get warm, it would take a long time for the clothes to dry completely. She was afraid that when the clothes were dry, she would have already caught a cold. In addition, at this moment, her entire body was very uncomfortable. She looked at Xie Jingxing and said calmly, “Do you have any other clothes?”

Xie Jingxing stood up and took out a set of clothes from a cloth bag on the wooden table. He sat against the wall and said, “I can’t find you women’s clothes. If you want to change, you can only make do with mine.”

If word got out that an unmarried girl was wearing a man’s clothes, people would inevitably gossip. Shen Miao looked up at Xie Jingxing. The smile on his lips was a little evil, but she did not know if it was really the case or if he did it on purpose.

Shen Miao realized that Xie Jingxing really had a special charm. Ever since she was reborn, she had been facing everyone with the attitude of “Empress Shen”. Even when facing Shen Qiu, she could not treat Shen Qiu as her elder brother. Sometimes, she even felt like she was taking care of Shen Qiu. However, every time she met Xie Jingxing, his playfulness would always make Shen Miao feel like she was not Empress Shen, but the naive fifth daughter of the Shen family.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Miao said, “Give it to me.”

Her answer surprised Xie Jingxing. He glanced at her and said incredulously, “You want to wear my clothes?”

“Are there any other clothes here?” Shen Miao asked.

Xie Jingxing smiled and threw the clothes to her. Shen Miao took the clothes and said to Xie Jingxing, “Young Marquis, please turn around.”

When Xie Jingxing heard that, he sized her up meaningfully. Shen Miao’s clothes were wet and stuck to her body. She was petite, and her figure was revealed. Xie Jingxing said with interest, “Are you being shy? Don’t worry.” His eyes were picky and disdainful. “There’s nothing for me to see.” With that, he turned around swiftly and did not look at Shen Miao at all.

Shen Miao heaved a sigh of relief and picked up Xie Jingxing’s clothes. It was a light green cotton robe with ironed cuffs. The material and embroidery were both top-notch. Shen Miao subconsciously touched it. In her previous life, only the royal family got to enjoy such material. Apparently, the rumor that the Marquis of Lin’an was as rich as a nation was true.

She slowly took off her wet outer and inner clothes and dried them over the furnace. After wiping the water off her body, she picked up Xie Jingxing’s robe. Unexpectedly, Xie Jingxing’s robe was hard to put on, and she did not wear it the way it should be worn. Not only that, but the belt was also wrapped around the calf of her left leg. Her calf was already injured by the dagger just now. At this moment, it was still bleeding, looking a little scary. As the belt rubbed against the wound, Shen Miao gasped in pain. She fell to the ground with a bang and knocked over the teapot on the table.

When Xie Jingxing heard the commotion, he immediately turned around and saw Shen Miao fall to the ground. He took a step forward and helped her up. Shen Miao couldn’t react in time and fell into his arms. Her clothes were still undone and were loosely wrapped around her body. Her shoulders were slightly exposed, and her hair was still wet. She looked very charming. No matter how calm she was, she was still flustered and helpless at this very moment.

On the other hand, Xie Jingxing frowned and held her calf. He stared at the wound and said in a low voice, “What happened?”
