Clean Up, Part III

Wu Jian entered Hou Jingshu’s residence. Yōuměi padded in after and Zhou Lihua closed the door behind them. He took in the familiar sights as he walked down the hall and slipped into the living space. It felt like he hadn’t seen this place in so long, though he knew it had only been a few months at the most.

“Where should we place Hou Jingshu? On a bed?” asked Zhou Lihua.

Wu Jian shook his head. “No. I’d like to be there when she wakes up.”

“So you plan to do what? Have her sleep on the floor?” Zhou Lihua raised an eyebrow.

“Of course not.”

“Then what?”

“Lap pillow.”

“...”

Zhou Lihua pursed her lips as Wu Jian put Hou Jingshu down, then sat down, and then placed the young woman’s head on his lap. The Shang Kingdom’s princess shifted a bit, then smiled as she got comfortable on his thighs.

“Haaaaah. You certainly know how to make a girl jealous,” Zhou Lihua muttered as she sat down beside him.

“Master, Yōuměi wants a lap pillow too,” Yōuměi said suddenly.
