Knowing what he meant, Mu Xiaoxiao reacted immediately. Her face reddened and she pushed his hand away, blushing. “Hurry up and drive. I’m a little hungry, can you cook some noodles for me when we get back?” she said.
“Okay.” Yin Shaojie smiled and nodded, starting the car.
Originally, they had planned to return to the Yin residence in the afternoon, but because of Su Lin, they couldn’t go there temporarily, and had no choice but to return to the condominium.
After reaching home, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little tired and took a shower first. Yin Shaojie, on the other hand, went over to the study, musing to himself.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s bath took quite a while as she lay in the bathtub daydreaming.
Suddenly, she heard knocking on the door. It was only then that she returned to her senses.
“Xiaoxiao, are you not done yet?” Yin Shaojie’s voice came from outside, sounding worried.
Mu Xiaoxiao tried to get up, but her foot slipped. Her entire body slid into the bathtub and the water almost went into her nose. Luckily, she quickly grabbed onto the side of the bathtub.
After cleaning off the water from her face, she coughed before answering, “I’m done. I’ll be coming out soon.”
It was only then that she realized that the water in the bathtub had already cooled.
Standing up, she sneezed once. She then hurriedly used a towel to cover herself and felt her body warm up a little.
“What’s the matter?” Yin Shaojie’s voice rang out again, obviously still standing outside.
“Nothing,” Mu Xiaoxiao replied, but she sneezed in the following second again.
Could she have caught a cold?
She was a little annoyed. She shouldn’t have daydreamed in the bathtub.
After changing into her pajamas, she dried her hair with a towel before opening the door and walking out.
As expected, Yin Shaojie was leaning against the wall opposite the door, waiting for her.
“Why did you take so long in the shower today?” he asked as he reached out and snatched the towel from the hands. He used his warm large hands to help her dry her wet hair.
“I didn’t take very long, did I? I’m too tired today, so I took a bath.”
Mu Xiaoxiao tried to reach out to snatch her towel back as she explained. “Be gentle, aiyoh, you don’t have to dry my hair for me; I’ll do it myself. You’re making me dizzy from shaking my head so much.”
Yin Shaojie cast a look at her. How dare she feel unappreciative of him drying her hair for her?
“Come over here and sit down,” he said, as he led her over to the sofa and settled her down. His hand motions became gentler.
With her back to him, Mu Xiaoxiao sat crossed legged on the sofa, and had no choice but to submit to his “violation” of her head.
Before half a minute of this had passed, she started to daydream again.
Yin Shaojie looked at the food on the table and said to her, “Do you not smell anything?”
She was a glutton and would usually notice good food immediately. However, even though the smell of food permeated the entire room, she was still sitting there indifferently.
“Ah? What?” Mu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and asked, a little stunned.
Yin Shaojie reached out a long arm and turned her around to face him.
“Are you thinking about what happened today again? Didn’t I tell you not to dwell on it unproductively anymore? Empty your mind first. Some things will smoothen themselves out when you wake up tomorrow.”
“How’s that easy to do?” Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. Sighing, she said, “However, I don’t think I’m able to figure out why this happened with my level of intellect. Say, don’t you think the incident wasn’t an accident?”
“It’s not an accident,” Yin Shaojie said surely.
“I’ve already sent someone to do a check on that bamboo pavilion. It’s impossible for it to be an accident from the damage caused, so it must have been deliberately engineered by someone.”
