“Do you… do you want to come up first?” She hesitated as she looked at him, his shirt completely wet and clinging to his body, which had a unique sexiness.
Heaven, what was she thinking? Being caught in the rain was clearly not something pleasant.
“To your place?” He raised his eyebrows slightly.
“You’ll get sick if you stay for too long,” Lu Wanwan explained. “The weather has already turned cold, and you still have a while to drive back.”
“That might be a good idea.” He pulled out the car keys, not intending to be polite with her.
They had already reached the downstairs, and he hadn’t planned on just going back anyway. It seemed she had some conscience today.
Inviting Gu Annan up required a bit of courage; she rented a very small place, just a single room.
Though clean and tidy, it might seem unbearably simple to him.
“Is this where you live?” Gu Annan casually stepped in, his gaze wandering around the room.
Basically, you could see everything in one glance.
“Getting this place is already not bad. My salary is just so-so, and I’m not you,” Lu Wanwan called him in and closed the door. “Wait for a moment, I’ll turn on the air conditioner.”
She hadn’t used the air conditioner since she moved here.
It didn’t look very new, and she wasn’t sure if it would work.
She pressed the heating button on the remote a few times and reached out to feel it, but it didn’t seem very warm.
Lu Wanwan then fetched a clean towel for him. “I don’t know if the air conditioner is working properly, but you should take a shower and dry yourself off.”
Gu Annan looked down and didn’t take it.
“You first,” his thin lips slightly parted.
“I’m fine, look at you, you’re all wet…” Lu Wanwan hurriedly urged.
“How about together?” he raised his eyebrows.
Her face suddenly heated up, and she glared at him furiously, “Gu Annan, I invited you up because you were caught in the rain, don’t overthink it.”
Was this inviting the wolf into the den?
But they weren’t really anything now, Gu Annan should… have some principles.
“You first, or together, you choose,” he leisurely took the towel.
His expression still so aloof, but clearly, he was more looking forward to the latter option.
Lu Wanwan clenched her teeth, seeing for the first time how someone could be so shamelessly assertive.
He deserved to get sick!
She stormed into the bathroom and took a shower as quickly as possible.
Coming out, Gu Annan was looking at something she wasn’t sure of.
“Stop looking, I know you don’t find this place up to par. Just hurry up and shower, then head back to the Gu Family’s villa!”
Gu Annan walked towards the bathroom leisurely, “It’s alright, except the bed is a bit small.”
“…” Hearing that, Lu Wanwan felt a shiver down her spine and suddenly couldn’t utter half a word.
She must hurry him to leave soon!
While Gu Annan was showering, Lu Wanwan carefully examined the air conditioner and finally discovered that its heating function was broken!
When she originally rented the place, she only tested the cooling, not foreseeing this issue.
Fortunately, it wasn’t very cold now, and after a bath, it should still be okay.
She was a bit hungry, pulled open the fridge, and remembered she hadn’t bought groceries today.
But then she thought, if she cooked now, she couldn’t just cook for herself.
But what if having a meal with Gu Annan made it too late?
Thinking of the evening, her heart pounded, her face seeming even hotter.
She closed the fridge door again.
Turning around, the bathroom door opened, and Gu Annan walked out wrapped in that towel.
The room was too small, very close to the kitchen too, and with just two steps, he was already standing in front of her.
