In the end, the two didn’t sleep in the same bed. Qi Zhenbai had his woman sleep on the big bed in the bedroom and he slept in the living room.
Early the next morning, Chi Shuyan woke up in a daze and needed to pee. She crawled blearily out of bed in her pajamas and went to the bathroom. There was an ensuite in her room, but she had always been accustomed to using the one outside the living room.
The one outside the living room had frosted glass. She would only use the ensuite if there were guests.
At that moment, she had long forgotten that someone had come looking for her late last night. She stumbled to the bathroom outside the living room, took off her pants and went to the toilet.
In the living room, Qi Zhenbai had woken up early due to his biological clock. He got up and was about to go to the bathroom to wash up, when he saw a familiar figure wearing pajamas and a bleary expression groping her way to the bathroom.
All of this happened so suddenly and quickly that Qi Zhenbai didn’t even have time to interrupt. When he turned around, he saw that the door wasn’t closed tightly, and the woman inside took off her pants in a daze and sat on the toilet bowl.
Through the crack in the door, the curves above the woman’s fair thighs that were under her clothes were faintly discernible and were very enticing, and the sound of flowing water could clearly be heard.
Qi Zhenbai was stunned by this ‘raw and shocking’ scene. His cold and steady face instantly stiffened and flushed red, and his pupils shrank. He was even somewhat at a loss. He hurriedly retracted his gaze, calmed down, and sat back on the sofa, not daring to move a muscle.
But even as he sat back on the sofa, that stunning and enticing scene just now flashed in his mind from time to time, and the clear and intermittent sound of flowing water caused a ball of fire to grow in his abdomen, and it burned brighter and brighter.
With the sound of flowing water in the bathroom, Chi Shuyan somehow felt that she had forgotten something. She subconsciously looked out the frosted glass and saw a figure sitting upright on the sofa in her living room.
Memories of last night promptly crashed back into her brain, including how she had opened the door for the man surnamed Qi and cooked porridge. The content of their conversation flashed through her mind.
The moment Chi Shuyan thought about how the man sitting on the sofa outside was Qi Zhenbai and how she had taken off her pants to go to the toilet in this bathroom with its frosted glass, and might even have been watched on the side, she instantly felt unwell and wanted to dig a hole to bury herself in.
Chi Shuyan thought of the man outside and quickly put on her pants with a stiff face, hoping that he had just woken up and hadn’t turned his head to see anything at all.
She was trapped in the bathroom for a long time. When she saw that the man outside hadn’t moved at all, and looked more like he was leaning on the sofa to sleep rather than just sitting on it, she gritted her teeth and subconsciously pushed the restroom door open. She tested it by calling his name a few times. Seeing that he didn’t utter a word, Chi Shuyan didn’t know whether to console herself with the fact that he was sleeping, or if it was something else. She immediately ducked into her room to change clothes before she came out.
When she came out, Chi Shuyan planned to be as thick-skinned as possible. If this man really said that he saw something, she had no intention of admitting it.
When she reached the living room, she took a look and saw that the man who was sitting upright on the sofa was actually leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed and lips pursed in sleep. His face was very serious; even in sleep, he still exuded a bit of aloofness and authority that made him difficult to approach.
Chi Shuyan tested it a few more times to make sure that the man was really asleep, then heaved a sigh of relief, not caring at all what position the man was sleeping in.
Chi Shuyan wiped her cold sweat. Fortunately, this man was asleep. Otherwise, she would have thoroughly lost all face today and would be too ashamed to go out and meet anyone.
Fortunately!
Chi Shuyan didn’t wake him up, but first moved some toiletries from the bathroom outside to the ensuite, washed up, then came out. When she came out, the man on the sofa had just woken up, so Chi Shuyan greeted him very naturally.
Qi Zhenbai’s face stiffened, not knowing where to look for the first time, and his face chilled for no reason. “I’ll go wash up first!”
