Chapter 21
With the door separating them, she was completely naked.
A fleeting recognition flashed through Ji Huan's mind, but the next second he felt embarrassed and quickly dismissed the thought.
Her pale, foam-covered hands were still grasping at the air.
Ji Huan shoved the clothes into her hands.
Yin Zhizhi took the clothes, "Thank you, I'm sorry for the trouble."
"It's no problem."
Ji Huan turned to leave, but suddenly there was a sound of a body falling on the floor from the bathroom, and Yin Zhizhi's voice in pain.
"Ow... Ouch..."
Ji Huan came back, "What happened?"
"When I was coming out, I slipped on the foam and fell. The edge of the bathtub was so slippery," Yin Zhizhi's voice carried a hint of crying as she spoke through the pain.
"Is it serious? Where does it hurt?"
"I fell down completely, and my arm hit the bathtub hard, it really hurts."
Ji Huan frowned, "Can you put your clothes on and come out?"
"Just give me a moment..."
"Okay, be careful of the foam."
"Mm-hmm..."
Ji Huan waited in the living room.
Yin Zhizhi had indeed taken a real fall, a deliberate one - it was a pitiful ploy. Who could resist a pretty, helpless-looking girl?
"Idiot."
Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in her mind.
Yin Zhizhi's eyes lit up, "System? You're awake?"
In the red space, Baili Xiaosan's screen in front of her was black, as it knew Yin Zhizhi was undressed.
She always liked talking to it while taking a bath.
"You're at the male lead's house?"
Yin Zhizhi wiped her body as she replied mentally, "Yes, living with him brings me one step closer to conquering him."
As Yin Zhizhi put her clothes on, she gasped when lifting her right arm.
"This ploy is really stupid."
"No, it's not, it works great. You'll see."
"Hurting yourself to conquer the male lead? Can't you think of any other way?"
"System, are you worried about me? If you care, you can just say it directly instead of mocking me, okay?"
Yin Zhizhi finished dressing.
Baili Xiaosan lazily lounged on a chair, idly swiping the screen with her fingers, "Worried? Not at all, I just woke up to see your stupid behavior."
"You saw! You could see earlier? I wasn't wearing anything!"
Yin Zhizhi was flustered.
Baili Xiaosan: "..."
"System? System? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"I didn't see, the screen automatically blacks out when the host is undressed."
Yin Zhizhi realized the System had an electronic screen to observe her.
"Wow, your screen is really high-tech."
Baili Xiaosan ignored her.
After calling out to the System a few times with no response, Yin Zhizhi went out.
"Ji Huan?"
Yin Zhizhi came to the living room, cradling her right hand.
The man on the couch suddenly looked up. Seeing Yin Zhizhi, he paused for a moment, then stood up and came over.
"How's your hand?"
"It's hard to lift when I tried putting my clothes on. My arm hit the bathtub hard when I fell," Yin Zhizhi made a pained expression.
"Why did you rush out to get your clothes? I could have left them by the door for you to get after," Ji Huan's tone was slightly reproachful.
"When I heard your voice, I got a bit too eager. I didn't expect to be so clumsy and fall. I've never fallen in the bathroom from when I was little until now. You can't tell anyone about my embarrassing moment today."
Ji Huan smiled wryly. Is this how young people think? She still had the mind to say such things after what happened.
"I have some medicated oil at home. Just apply it where you got hit and massage it in. You'll feel better tomorrow." Ji Huan brought out the medicine box.
Yin Zhizhi, wearing pajamas, sat on the couch. She had just finished bathing, her whole body flushed red, her bangs slightly damp, her face a rosy white.
"Medicated oil? Do I need to massage it in? I don't know how to do that."
Good night, it's late. I'll try to post a longer update in the morning! Xiao San will do her best for the next chapter.
My dear readers, please show some love to Xiao San.
