âSeems like theyâre not inâ¦â If Xiaomeng was in, she would have answered the door so they should be outside.
Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to shuffle in her slippers back to their apartment.
Unexpectedly, Yin Shaojie was standing at the entrance, arms folded at his chest, looking as if he had already guessed it, and he asked, âWhat? Theyâre not home?â
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. âYeah, maybe they went out to eat and are still not back yet.â
The corner of Yin Shaojieâs mouth turned up in a smile, and he proffered his hands to her. âWell, letâs go take a shower then.â
A coupleâs shower!
His eyes seemed to flash these words.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked stunned. She went under his arms and past him. âI told you to go take a shower first. Iâm a little worried for Xiaoxiao. Iâll go make a call!â
Then, like a wisp of smoke, she ran into the room and slammed the door.
Yin Shaojie followed. He stood by the door and knocked on the door.
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs voice came from inside. âStop playing already! Go take a shower yourself!â
Yin Shaojie knew that she was shy, so he didnât press her. He chuckled and said, âIf you want me to go take a shower, you gotta let me get my pajamas, right? How am I supposed to get my pajamas when you close the door like this?â
In the room, Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated and wanted to open the door, but she was worried that he might be up to some trickery.
If she opened the door, would he drag her to the bathroom to take a shower together?
It still seemed like a trap!
Mu Xiaoxiao said, âPajamas, right? I will help you get them. Wait there!â
With that said, she ran into the cloakroom, opened his wardrobe, fished out his pajamas and carried them out.
Cracking open the door, she threw the pajamas to him and slammed the door again.
Outside, Yin Shaojie held his pajamas. Looking down, he smiled bitterly. Then he knocked on the door again.
âWhat now?â Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Yin Shaojie said, âIâm missing a piece.â
âNo, I gave it all to you, didnât I?â She clearly took out a set of pajamas.
âLet me go in and get it.â
âTell me what youâre missing. Iâll get it for you.â Mu Xiaoxiao insisted that he stayed outside. The more he behaved like this, the more she thought he was up to something.
Putting a hand on the door, Yin Shaojieâs smile was suggestive as he said, âYou didnât get my underwearâ¦â
Mu Xiaoxiao froze.
U-underâ¦
She caught herself before her thoughts continued picturing him only wearing underwear⦠Stop! Stop!
âW-will you die if you donât wear it?â she said as her face blushed.
Yin Shaojie replied her, âWhat do you think?â
Mu Xiaoxiao didnât know what else to do. Hesitating for a moment, she then ran to the cloakroom.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Looking through the wardrobe, it wasnât at the top. Her eyes turned to the drawer at the bottom. They should be here, right?
Pulling open the drawer, sure enough, she saw his under⦠wear.
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed. Her little hand reached out and drew back. It reached out again and drew back. She just didnât have the courage to pick it up.
Finally, she gave in.
Forget it. She would let him come in and take it himself!
Maybe, she was worrying for nothing? Perhaps he was just teasing her and was not going to force her to take a coupleâs shower?
After some thought, she went back to the door and pulled the door wide open.
She didnât dare to look at his eyes. She looked away and said, âGo and get it yourself.â
Yin Shaojie walked in, his eyes filled with amusement, and the manly scent wafted up right in front of her.
âWhy didnât you help me?â he asked, his elegant face looking puzzled.
