Li Yanan watched the scene with a faint smile, and that hint of a smile seemed to soften his rigid features slightly...
As usual, it was Lin Zhenxin who went to take a shower first.
When she came out, Li Yanan was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, dressed in loungewear, holding a cup of hot water.
Perhaps hearing some noise, he turned around.
Even though she had already seen him without glasses, Lin Zhenxin couldn't help but draw a sharp breath inward.
This version of Li Yanan was simply too enticing.
"I've finished showering, you can go," Lin Zhenxin said, with a white towel draped over her head, and she hurriedly averted her eyes.
She saw Li Yanan walk straight towards her, placing the mug on the desk, making a slight sound.
He moved forward; she wanted to retreat, stepping back two or three steps, until her back was against the closed door and she could retreat no more.
"Um..." Lin Zhenxin wasn't sure what he intended to do and was a bit anxious.
However, Li Yanan came up to her, stretched out his hand...
...and began to dry her still half-wet hair with the towel on her head.
Lin Zhenxin, dressed in pajamas, was caught off guard, feeling like a child as her head bobbed with his movements.
Through the gaps in the towel, she could only see his tall physique clad in a knitted sweater.
After a while, as he continued to dry, Li Yanan fell silent.
Reaching out to take the towel off, she was again confronted with his magnified face, seemingly ready to kiss her again.
So close that she could count his eyelashes.
"Lemon gave me a gift, let me open it and see..." Pushing his chest away abruptly, Lin Zhenxin ran off with a flushed face, using the excuse to go to the bed, her chest heaving; there was a ripping sound as she trembled to open Yao Lemon's present.
A heavy item thudded to the floor and started rolling.
It came to a stop at Li Yanan's feet.
Initially, Lin Zhenxin didn't see what it was, but when Li Yanan picked it up, she gasped deeply!
Recalling Yao Lemon's mischievous smile, Lin Zhenxin now felt an urge to strangle her!
The gift she received was clearly the latest product designed by her company!
"I... I..." She didn't dare look at Li Yanan, her voice trembled, as awkward as it could be.
"It seems your friend really cares about you."
"My friend loves to joke around, don't... don't misunderstand!" Lin Zhenxin bit her lip tightly after speaking, looking up at Li Yanan.
"Misunderstand what?" Li Yanan, without his glasses, slightly raised his eyebrows.
Lin Zhenxin's heart seemed to stop; she held her breath and shook her head, saying nothing—it seemed like a sensitive topic they were discussing.
As she remained silent, Li Yanan looked down at her. From his taller vantage point, the view down her neckline was stunning.
"You... it's your turn to shower." Lin Zhenxin felt if she didn't calm down alone, she would go crazy.
"I suppose I should take a shower." Li Yanan said as he reached out and pulled Lin Zhenxin closer to him.
He actually... he actually leaned in towards her...
Li Yanan gave Lin Zhenxin a deep glance, then turned expressionlessly and headed towards the bathroom...
When Li Yanan came out of the bathroom, Lin Zhenxin was already lying on the bed, wrapped in a thin quilt, facing away from him.
He knew she wasn't asleep!
However, Li Yanan didn't intend to make it clear.
After tidying up briefly, he turned off the light and lay down beside her. Instantly, Lin Zhenxin's body tensed up.
She clutched the edge of the pillowcase tightly, her heart pounding; last night she managed to sleep well, but tonight she was too awake.
