349 Bath
Gu Man took the paper and thanked him. She looked at her wet clothes and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Xiang Yin lowered his head and typed on his phone a few times. Then, he put it away and looked at Gu Man’s face. His gaze was so obedient that it did not shift at all. “Why don’t you wear my clothes first?”
“Can I use the bathroom?”
The sticky feeling was really uncomfortable. She only wanted to quickly clean up the filth on her body, so she did not notice Xiang Yin’s uneasy expression.
Xiang Yin touched the bridge of his nose and pointed at the bathroom. “Over there.”
“Thank you.”
Before Xiang Yin could say anything, he saw Gu Man walking hurriedly towards the washroom.
He glanced at the milk flowing on the ground, his throat moving up and down. The scene he had just seen appeared in his mind. He turned around to look for the cleaning tools, but the tips of his ears had unknowingly turned red.
His subordinates were very fast. Before Gu Man could wash up, the things were already sent over. They even thoughtfully gave her a lady’s bathrobe and undergarments.
Looking at the things inside, Xiang Yin immediately put them aside.
He sat on the sofa and adjusted his breathing, but the sound of water from time to time made it difficult for him to adjust his breathing.
His eyes were empty. He did not even react when he heard Gu Man’s voice.
“Xiang Yin.”
Gu Man called out softly a few times. Seeing that there was no reaction, she raised her voice again. Only then did she hear hurried footsteps.
Although there was a door between them, Gu Man still subconsciously took the bathrobe to cover her body. However, a familiar smell came from it, making her feel a little shy.
She couldn’t care less about anything else. She was in a hurry when she came in just now, so she forgot to ask for clothes.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, when they were about a meter away, Gu Man hurriedly said, “Have the clothes been delivered?”
Xiang Yin immediately understood. “Wait a moment.”
Hearing the gradually fading footsteps, Gu Man heaved an inexplicable sigh of relief. However, she did not know if it was because the water was too hot when she was showering just now, but her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it would jump out the next second.
She calmed her breathing, but when she heard approaching footsteps, her heart beat uncontrollably faster again.
The problem now was how to take the clothes from Xiang Yin.
She thought about it and opened the door slightly. She reached out her fair hand and searched outside, but she could not find what she wanted. She could only say, “Can you hand it to me?”
Perhaps it was because she had just taken a shower, but Gu Man’s voice sounded a little muffled. It was completely different from her usual coldness, but there was an unconscious charm to it.
Looking at the arm that was stretched out from the washroom. There were still water droplets on it from just taking shower. Under the reflection of the light, the fair arm looked even more delicate and tender.
Xiang Yin turned his head and handed over the clothes in his hand. No matter how vigilant he was, he could not avoid contact.
When the door in front of him closed, he was still in a daze. There seemed to be a slippery feeling between his fingers.
Realizing that his behavior was a little perverted, he quickly left the room and sat back on the sofa to calm himself down.
In the bathroom, Gu Man looked at the complete set of clothes. Even she, who had never been sensitive to such things, could not help but feel embarrassed.
After hurriedly putting on her clothes, she only wanted to leave. She did not even have time to blow dry her wet hair.
She stood at the door and changed her shoes. She looked up in Xiang Yin’s direction.
“The security system has been reinforced. You can see it when you turn on the computer. I’ll go back first.”
Xiang Yin nodded in a daze and looked at Gu Man, who had just taken a shower, in a daze.
Her fair skin was dyed pink. It was a posture that Xiang Yin had never seen before. It was as if a high and mighty goddess had suddenly been pulled down to the mortal world and was dyed with the taste of the mortal world. She was charming and delicate like this, making one’s heart itch unbearably.
He had even forgotten to send her home. By the time he reacted, the elevator door had already closed.
When Gu Man returned home, the lights had already been turned off. The others had fallen asleep.
She relaxed her limbs, changed into her slippers, and went straight to her room.
Her hair was wet on her shoulders. Since the others were already asleep, she could only wipe it gently with a clean towel.
As she sat by the bed, Gu Man’s mind was filled with the scene just now.
The warmth of the two of them embracing each other and the feeling of leaving each other when they could not see each other were magnified.
