Despite his resistance, Little Tangmen was stripped naked by the Young Master and thrown into the bath.
He couldn’t fight back.
Little Tangmen, with a mournful face, covered his private part: Wuu wuu… I’m going to tell my senior brother you bullied me!
Young Master: Go ahead and tell.
Little Tangmen: My senior brother is the famous Tang DaPao in the martial world. Are you scared?
Young Master, amused: Not scared.
Little Tangmen, smirking: You talk tough.
Young Master: …
Little Tangmen: I’m going to tell my senior brother you touched my butt.
Young Master: I didn’t.
Little Tangmen: You did. When you were stripping my clothes, you touched it twice.
Young Master: Pfft.
Little Tangmen: See, you’re even laughing! You still won’t admit it!

Young Master: Your back is washed, turn around.
Little Tangmen obediently turns around: Oh.
Young Master scrutinizes Little Tangmen and touches his waist: Such a thin waist, have you been eating well?
Little Tangmen: …No, I can wash the front myself!
Young Master: Hahaha.
Little Tangmen turns back quickly, his ears red: You’re so bad.
Young Master: Why are you blushing?
Little Tangmen looks back warily: Your face is red too.
Young Master: My face is red because I’m gay. Why is yours?
Little Tangmen: …
Young Master: Actually, you’re gay too. You just don’t know it.
Little Tangmen: I’m not!
Young Master: See, you don’t know.

After the bath, Little Tangmen, wrapped in a bathrobe, lies on the bed, and the Young Master sits beside him.
Refusing to leave.
Little Tangmen: What else do you want to do?
Young Master: Lull you to sleep.
Little Tangmen: When I was little, I only needed comforting when I was scared, but I’m not scared now.
Young Master: Oh, then let’s do something else.
Little Tangmen: What?
Young Master touches his thigh: Do you.
Little Tangmen: You’re crazy! Ahhh! Senior brother, save me!
Young Master: Are you scared now?
Little Tangmen: Of course I am!
Young Master: Then can I lull you to sleep now?
Little Tangmen: Go ahead, lull me!

Young Master: How did your senior brother lull you?
Little Tangmen: He sang to me.
Young Master: Not by sleeping and holding you?
Little Tangmen, cautious: No, just singing.
Young Master: Okay, I’ll sing too.
Little Tangmen: You can sing?
Young Master: Everyone in the Hidden Sword Villa can sing “The Good Song.”
Little Tangmen: Oh.
Young Master: The great river flows eastward, the cranes of the Hidden Sword don’t look back.
Little Tangmen: Hahaha!
Young Master gently strokes Little Tangmen’s hair: You laughed.
Little Tangmen: Sorry, I didn’t mean to laugh at you.
Young Master, smiling, shakes his head: You look good when you smile.
Little Tangmen, blushing: Oh… you look good when you smile too.
Young Master: Really?
Little Tangmen: You’re actually a nice person, it would be better if you didn’t bully me.
Young Master’s eyes gleam with a twisted light: Impossible.
Little Tangmen: …

Unknowingly, winter arrived, and Little Tangmen caught a cold.
Today, the Young Master also dressed up handsomely to visit the prison.
Little Tangmen: Cough, cough!
Young Master: You caught a cold?
Little Tangmen: It’s nothing, I always cough a few days every winter.
Young Master: From now on, you’ll stay in my room. It’s too damp and cold here in winter, and the stove doesn’t help much.
Little Tangmen, startled: Stay in your room?
Young Master, eyeing him: What, you don’t want to?
Little Tangmen: You’re letting an assassin stay with you, does that make sense?
Young Master, amused: You really think you’re an assassin?
Little Tangmen: Well, I am a disciple of the Tang Sect.
Young Master: In a word, my room or the dungeon?
Little Tangmen, clenching his teeth and stomping his foot: The dungeon!
Young Master: …
Little Tangmen: You are gay, what if you do something to me in the middle of the night?
Young Master: We’ll have separate beds.
Little Tangmen: That won’t work either. What if you jump onto my bed in the middle of the night and do something to me?
Young Master: Forget it, I’ll sacrifice a bit. If you live in my room, you can wear pants.
Little Tangmen, incredulous: You call that a sacrifice?
Young Master: Come or don’t, it’s up to you.
Little Tangmen: Let me think about it…
