Chapter 304: Thoughtful Xing Ci
The next morning, He Jiaojiao was woken up by the birds in the tree.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the fiery red sun slowly rising, and everything around me seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light.
"What a nice view!"
He Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh.
"Well, it is indeed beautiful!"
Xing Ci's voice suddenly came from the side, startling He Jiaojiao.
"Aci?" He Jiaojiao blinked in confusion, "When did you come here?"
Xing Ci was a little annoyed. He had never expected that He Jiaojiao, who usually seemed very brave, would actually be frightened by him. "I'm sorry, Jiaojiao, did I scare you?"
Seeing Xingci's guilty look, He Jiaojiao quickly took Xingci's hand and shook her head, "I'm fine!"
Seeing that Xingci still looked unhappy, He Jiaojiao looked at Risheng, then looked at Xingci, "Actually, I think Risheng isn't as pretty as you, Xingci!"
Being teased by He Jiaojiao unexpectedly, Xing Ci felt his heart beating faster uncontrollably!
"Jiaojiao..."
Looking at He Jiaojiao's delicate little face and her chubby, moist red lips, Xing Ci couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and then quickly gave her a light kiss on the lips.
"Okay, get up quickly, you'll be hungry soon!"
Xing Ci picked the person up with a doting look on his face, and the two of them went to the stream to wash.
The temperature was very high today. He Jiaojiao looked at her reflection in the stream and found that it seemed time to wash her hair.
"Hey, I want to wash my hair!"
He Jiaojiao reached out and hooked her hair to her chest, saying somewhat uncomfortably.
"shampoo?"
Xing Ci looked at He Jiaojiao with some confusion. He didn't understand why she suddenly washed her hair. Her hair was fine and not dirty!
Seeing the inquiry in Xing Ci's eyes, He Jiaojiao suspected that he might have misunderstood something, so she took the initiative to explain, "My hair is almost tangled. I wonder if there is anything that can help me clean it."
Xing Ci looked at He Jiaojiao’s hair. He remembered that Jiaojiao had just washed her hair not long ago, so why did she want to wash it again?
However, since it was Jiaojiao's request, he naturally had to satisfy it.
"Jiaojiao, can you see if this can be used?"
Xing Ci searched the animal skin bag for a long time and finally found what he wanted. When he took it out, He Jiaojiao realized that he actually had soap beans.
"Wow, where did you get this?"
He Jiaojiao took it happily. You know, washing hair with soap nuts can not only remove excess oil on the scalp, but also promote hair growth.
"Does this really work?"
Xing Ci had previously robbed this soap bean from a passing orc... uh... borrowed it. At first, he had only heard the orc talk about its magical properties and thought he was trying to trick the orcs. He didn't expect it to be actually useful.
"Of course!"
He Jiaojiao said as she raised her hand to untie her hair, letting her long black hair cascade down like a waterfall. Xing Ci, who was standing by, was stunned. At this moment, Jiaojiao was so beautiful that it was hard to look away.
"Does Jiaojiao want to take a shower now?"
Xing Ci said as he filled a bucket with water.
He Jiaojiao was just about to call Ziyi to come and heat the water, but she found that Xingci activated his supernatural powers and the water instantly became warm.
"You also have fire abilities?"
He Jiaojiao asked in surprise. Then she came to her senses and remembered that she seemed to have never cared about what special abilities Xing Ci had.
After all, he is a ten-star orc, so his abilities should be very strong!
Sure enough, Xing Ci showed a disappointed expression. He looked at He Jiaojiao pitifully, looking hurt.
"I'm sorry, Aci! I..."
He Jiaojiao wanted to explain, but Xing Ci hugged her. He rested his chin on He Jiaojiao's shoulder and heard a wronged voice from his ear, "Jiaojiao, don't you like me?"
"Why do you say that?" He Jiaojiao felt a prick in her heart. She didn't know what was going on. Now thinking back, she realized that she did care too little about Xing Ci.
"You don't even know the most basic information about me..."
He Jiaojiao was anxious. She hadn't expected Xing Ci to be so sensitive. She really didn't mean it. She wanted to make amends, so she leaned back so that Xing Ci's face appeared in front of her. Then she held his face with both hands, looked into his eyes, and said sincerely, "Then... Ah Ci, can you tell me now? I will definitely remember it well."
Xing Ci raised his hand and pinched a strand of He Jiaojiao's hair, "I still want to wait for you to slowly discover it yourself, Jiaojiao, this way it will be more meaningful!"
He Jiaojiao was helpless, "Okay..."
"Then let me wash your hair first, Jiaojiao!"
Seeing Xing Ci's eagerness to try, He Jiaojiao couldn't bear to refuse and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Ah Ci!"
He Jiaojiao glanced around and found a large rock not far away, just big enough for a person to lie on. She thought about how she had washed her hair lying down in her previous life, and now was a good time to relive that experience.
After placing a soft animal skin mat on the stone, He Jiaojiao lay on her back. In order to facilitate Xing Ci's movements, she deliberately lay up a little so that when she rinsed her hair later, water would not get everywhere.
It was the first time that Xing Ci saw someone washing hair in this way. He felt it was both novel and interesting, but he was still very careful, fearing that the water would wet He Jiaojiao's fur skirt.
After finally getting his hair wet, Xing Ci stared at the soapberry in a daze. After a while, he spoke a little embarrassedly, "Jiaojiao, how do I use this?"
Looking at the soap beans in her hand, He Jiaojiao was also in a dilemma. She had only heard of them but had never actually used them, so she didn't know how to use them.
"Just crush it and rub it into your hair!"
Xing Ci obediently held the soap beans in his hands, crushed them with his palms in a few strokes, then applied them evenly on He Jiaojiao's hair and rubbed them gently.
The action was gentle, as if it were a precious treasure.
Slowly, He Jiaojiao felt a lot of foam on her hair. She didn't expect that it could really be used in this way.
"Please scratch my scalp. It's a little itchy."
Xing Ci didn't dare to grab it, but rubbed it gently with his fingertips. The comfortable feeling made He Jiaojiao close her eyes in satisfaction.
It has to be said that Xingci's technique was really great. He Jiaojiao felt so comfortable that if Xingci hadn't called her from behind, she would have really fallen asleep.
"Jiaojiao, get up and dry your hair first, otherwise you will catch a cold."
He Jiaojiao rubbed her eyes and sat up with the help of Xing Ci.
Xing Ci squeezed her wet hair until it was about 70% dry and no longer dripping. He Jiaojiao felt very hungry, so she wanted to fill her stomach first and then deal with the hair problem.
"Are you hungry?" Xing Ci couldn't help laughing when he heard the growling of He Jiaojiao's stomach. He quickly carried her to the animal skin mat and brought the warm porridge over to her.
