âI want to go kite-flying.â
âKite-flying??â Gong Jie was surprised as well.
The actor immediately explained. âI bought a kite a while back, but the weather has been capricious. Itâs either raining or itâs too cold, so sheâs been looking forward to flying a kite when the skies clear.â
Gong Jie nodded at that. âWell, isnât it supposed to be sunny tomorrow? Get some sleep. Weâll go kite-flying tomorrow after breakfast.â
âCan Daddy fly a kite?â
âNoâ¦â
âWhat? But you said youâd take me kite-flying.â
âDonât you know how to do it?â Gong Jie smiled. âJust teach me. Daddy learns fast.â
âAlright! Itâs a deal. Weâll go kite-flying together. No going back on your word.â
âUh huh, itâs a deal.â
With this assurance, Natalia went to sleep.
The two men backed out of the room. Once outside the room, Hua Jin immediately said, âIâll prepare you a bed?â
âWhereâs the bathroom? I need to shower.â
âUpstairs, second room on your left. Itâs my room. Go ahead and shower.â
As only Hua Jin and Natalia had been staying in the villa, the other guest rooms had not been made up. Hua Jin was about to go to the nannyâs room to get her to prepare a bed.
Gong Jie headed upstairs to take a shower. âBring me a set of pajamas.â He instructed the actor as if he were instructing a servant.
Although the actor was reluctant, he agreed quickly and nodded. âAlright.â
So while Gong Jie was in the bathroom, the actor went to the cloakroom, found a fresh bathrobe, and grabbed a fresh change of clothes. Then he headed back to his room and said to Gong Jie through the bathroom door, âShall I leave your bathrobe outside the door? Will that do?â
Gong Jie, however, replied in a chilly voice from inside. âAre you expecting me to walk out naked?â
âUhâ¦â Hua Jin felt his face heating up just imagining that scene.
Forget it! Send it in to the guy!
Hence he went to the door and knocked. âMay I bring it in for you then?â
With that, the door opened from the inside.
The actor thought that Gong Jie would open the door just a crack, but instead, it swung wide open as a cloud of vapor rushed out from the bathroom and enveloped him. Unable to see clearly, Hua Jin waved his hand gently to clear the fog. Then, he saw Gong Jie standing at the doorway of the shower room, casually toweling his wet hair with a towel.
His gaze wandered downward uncontrollably, following the water droplets that were sliding down the well-defined contours of the manâs sculpted muscles⦠then his eyes widened. He didnât dare look anymore. He turned around abruptly. His heart started thumping violently as if he were on a speeding roller coaster.
Gong Jie frowned in confusion at Hua Jinâs sudden movement as the actor nervously turned his back to him.
What was the guy doing?
âThe clothes.â
âOh ⦠oh â¦â Distracted, still with his back to Gong Jie, Hua Jin passed the bathrobe backwards.
Gong Jie noticed how nervous the actor was. It was as if he were being deliberately evasive. Then he looked down at his own naked body and seemed to realize.
âWhy are you acting as shy as a woman?â
As shy as a woman!? Despite himself, the actor frowned.
What did he mean, like a woman?
Gong Jie asked, âHave you never seen another manâs body before?â
The fuss made him seem all the more suspicious.
