When registering at the inn’s counter, the two of them used the pseudonyms from the day before, but this time they booked a single room and presented themselves as a couple.
Liu Yiru no longer felt any psychological pressure about pretending to be Ye Fei’s girlfriend.
After all, no one here would recognize them.
After checking into the room, Ye Fei and Liu Yiru walked out of the inn to explore the place, which piqued their curiosity.
Since it was already nearing winter, no ginseng hunters would choose to go up the mountain at this time, so the town was very quiet, with only a few local residents.
However, the two of them didn’t mind. In fact, they preferred the emptiness. Given their fame in Wanghai City, there was always the risk of being recognized by some hunter. Now, they no longer had that concern.
After walking for a while on the nearly deserted street, Liu Yiru took the initiative to nestle her soft, delicate body into Ye Fei’s embrace and placed one of his hands on her shoulder, letting him hold her.
At that moment, she suddenly felt a sense of living in the moment.
Since no one here knew her and she was already pretending to be his girlfriend, she decided to let go and truly experience the feeling of being doted upon by him. She was even prepared to fulfill her duty as a girlfriend, of course, with the exception of what had happened accidentally that day.
It wasn’t until nightfall that Ye Fei and Liu Yiru returned to the inn.
After ordering some food, Ye Fei joked, "Wife, let’s head upstairs."
Although she had mentally prepared herself to be his real girlfriend in the coming days, Ye Fei’s term still caused a slight blush on Liu Yiru’s face.
She playfully scolded, "Naughty boy, don’t call me that!"
"I’m not calling you anything out of line," Ye Fei said innocently. "Isn’t everyone calling their girlfriends ’wife’ these days? We shouldn’t be an exception, right?"
"You still can’t call me that!" To be honest, the somewhat common term did make Liu Yiru’s heart flutter. However, she dared not indulge further.
The pretend girlfriend status had already made her feel like a real one, even to the point of being ready to fulfill her duties. If he continued to call her that, she feared she might not be able to resist the urge to fulfill a wife’s duties, which was a completely different matter.
After all, a girlfriend’s intimacy was still external, while a wife’s involved internal obligations. She dared not go that far, even though they had crossed that line accidentally that day, and her heart yearned for it.
Back in the room, Liu Yiru looked around and, satisfied with the place, said to Ye Fei, "You watch some TV while I take a shower."
"Let’s take one together!" Ye Fei laughed mischievously.
Liu Yiru’s stunning face flushed deeply.
The bathroom held special significance for her since the last accident had happened there.
If she really took a shower with Ye Fei, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to stop herself from fulfilling a wife’s duties. She gave him a reproachful look and said, "Naughty boy, don’t push it!"
Then, grabbing a nightgown, she hurried into the bathroom.
Watching the bathroom door close behind Liu Yiru, Ye Fei couldn’t help but smile mischievously. Her shy and beautiful demeanor was simply enchanting!
He also understood what she had been thinking and couldn’t help but reminisce about the sensation from that day—the extreme pleasure of the interplay between ice and fire. He believed it wouldn’t be long before he could experience it again.
Since they were staying at an inn, Liu Yiru didn’t take too long in the shower.
After just over ten minutes, she emerged from the bathroom. She was now wearing a white nightgown, her long hair cascading over her shoulders. She looked like a fairy stepping out of a painting as she walked slowly toward Ye Fei.
Moreover, it seemed she wasn’t wearing anything under the nightgown.

From the rather exaggerated bulge at her chest, Ye Fei could almost see the tiny peaks.
Coupled with the light blush on her already stunning face from the recent bath, she appeared incredibly sensual.
This perfect blend of sanctity and sensuality left Ye Fei momentarily stunned, his eyes fixated on the goddess before him with a look of infatuation and ardor.
Noticing Ye Fei’s covetous gaze, as if he were about to devour her, Liu Yiru playfully cast him a coquettish glance and said, "What are you staring at? Hurry up and take a shower, or you won’t be allowed to sleep here!"
With that, she climbed onto the traditional brick bed, unique to this place, and covered her perfect body with a quilt.
"Oh, oh, shower!" It wasn’t until then that Ye Fei snapped out of his trance, induced by Liu Yiru’s breathtaking beauty, and he numbly responded, walking into the bathroom.
Watching Ye Fei’s dazed expression, Liu Yiru couldn’t help but let out an enchanting giggle, though her face immediately flushed again. She wondered why she had chosen this somewhat sheer nightgown and deliberately opted not to wear any underwear.
Could it be that, after making her decision, she was already eager to fulfill her duty as a girlfriend? However, she was pleased that her efforts had not been in vain, evident from his infatuated stare.
In less than three minutes, Ye Fei burst out of the bathroom, wrapped only in a bath towel. Upon entering the room, he rubbed his arms with both hands, complaining, "This place is freezing!"
"If it’s cold, come join me on the brick bed!" Liu Yiru, sitting on the brick bed and covered with a cotton quilt, felt a pang of sympathy for Ye Fei, who seemed to be shivering, though she was unaware that he was merely pretending.
"Hehe, okay!" Ye Fei quickly discarded the towel around him and leaped onto the brick bed.
However, instead of immediately covering himself with the quilt, he sat there naked, exposing his very spirited "naughty" part to Liu Yiru’s view.
"You naughty boy, why don’t you even wear shorts?" Ye Fei’s appearance caused Liu Yiru’s face to redden, and she couldn’t help but stretch her leg out from under the quilt and give him a light kick.
"Wearing them would just be a hassle since I’d have to take them off anyway," Ye Fei laughed, grabbing her kicking foot and hesitating to let go. It was the first time he had paid attention to Liu Yiru’s delicate feet, and he couldn’t help but marvel inwardly at how perfect every part of her was.
Overcome with emotion, he began to gently caress her small foot with his large hand.
Feeling ticklish from his touch on her foot, Liu Yiru instinctively tried to pull it back but didn’t succeed. She playfully scolded, "Naughty boy, what are you doing?"
"Yiru, every part of you is so beautiful!" Playing with Liu Yiru’s small foot, Ye Fei couldn’t help but exclaim.
"What did you call me?" Liu Yiru was taken aback.
Ye Fei smiled and said, "Yiru, of course! I’m your boyfriend now, so I should call you that!" He had deliberately chosen this name to close the gap between him and Liu Yiru, hoping she would subconsciously overlook their original relationship and let go of her inhibitions.
As for the future, once their relationship was settled, Ye Fei decided to revert to his previous way of addressing her, because that would be even more thrilling.
It had to be said that the guy had a bit of a mischievous streak.
Sure enough, after hearing Ye Fei’s explanation, Liu Yiru fell silent. She felt an inexplicable sense of relief, and her gaze towards him became even gentler. In that moment, she was no longer his mother but his girlfriend, his Yiru!
