(2) “Rushing off to take a bath with such a rosy face?” Gu Annan’s piercing gaze meticulously scanned her face, and he began teasingly, “What were you just doing?”
“What are you talking about,” Lu Wanwan was on the verge of collapse, her face unconsciously reddening a bit more.
It was infuriating, she knew she should have been calmer, but she couldn’t control herself.
Besides, she couldn’t very well tell him that she had become nervous upon seeing that piece of lingerie and didn’t know who had put it there.
“Your face is so red, could it be a fever?” His voice was low and especially sexy, and with a step forward, he pinned her against the wall.
“Maybe, I do feel a bit unwell,” she explained seriously.
Gu Annan nodded thoughtfully, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, his hand resting on her forehead.
“No fever,” he said calmly.
Lu Wanwan held back her frustration, nodding, “I was just guessing, nothing more.”
After she said this, she saw Gu Annan smiling with his eyes fixed on her, his sharp gaze as if seeing right through her heart yet deliberately not voicing it.
That hand moved from her forehead to her cheek, his voice light as a breeze, “Why is it so hot here?”
“Are you going to let me take a bath or not!” Finally losing patience, she glared at him, both embarrassed and annoyed.
Seeing her close to the edge of madness, Gu Annan finally let go, “Make it quick.”
Lu Wanwan didn’t respond and quickened her pace.
Before the bathroom door closed, that unhurried voice came again, “If you’re too slow, I might come in.”
“Bang!” The bathroom door was slammed shut forcefully.
Gu Annan thought for a moment, then entered the closet, pulling open the drawer where she kept her nightwear.
What should have been neatly arranged on the shelves was now a chaotic mess.
He reached out a finger, his black eyes slightly squinting, pulling apart the items one by one until he revealed the underwear at the very back.
From the moment he saw Lu Wanwan rush out in embarrassment, he was eighty percent certain of the reason.
It was not at all surprising.
After quickly finishing her bath, she calmed her heartbeat before opening the door.
It wasn’t that she was avoiding the activity Gu Annan recently seemed so fond of; she knew she couldn’t escape it.
But she just couldn’t be nonchalant if he were to barge in on her while she was bathing.
Truth be told, ever since she used to smuggle genuine Japanese romance action movies for her male classmates and got a bit of an education from those, and after college, having occasionally sneaked peeks at her roommate’s Ijima Ai, Sora Aoi, Maria Ozawa…
Probably because she cared too much about what he thought of her, never able to fully grasp his thoughts, she always felt, even when doing the most intimate things, that he was still too distant.
Actually, she was grateful that if there was only one way out for her, it was him, that the person she was forced to lie in bed with every night was him. If it were anyone else, she couldn’t imagine if she could accept it.
She just hoped that one day, she wouldn’t have to stay by his side because of an array of helpless reasons, no longer worried about making a mistake in front of Gu Annan, not having to be concerned that a slip of the tongue or the wrong action might easily irritate him.
“Come here after you’re done.”
No sooner had she come out than she heard Gu Annan’s voice coming from the closet.
Lu Wanwan had just breathed a sigh of relief, and now her heart was racing again.
“This cabinet is too messy, tidy it up, make it neat.”
The moment she saw which cabinet Gu Annan was referring to, she froze in place as if she had been struck by a spell.
Wasn’t that the cabinet where that piece of lingerie was…
He had no clothes there, what was he rifling through it for!
“Gu Annan, that cabinet doesn’t contain your clothes,” Lu Wanwan looked at him blankly, struggling to speak up and remind him.
