Chapter 88 Why are you rushing me to take a shower?

"I happen to have a new set of pajamas, which should be on the bed but I forgot to take them. The underwear is in the drawer, feel free to take it."

"..."

"New underwear, what are you afraid of!"

The address Lin Shi gave was very close to Yinghua; it took less than ten minutes by taxi.

She opened the door using the code he gave her. When she changed her shoes, she noticed there were two pairs of slippers. She didn't pay much attention to them and just put on one.

This apartment isn't very big, about 100 square meters, but it's clean and tidy, with a strong masculine style.

The bedroom door was open. Qin Zhao found the new pajamas in the picture Lin Shi had sent. They weren't on the bed; they were on the outermost part of the closet.

She took her clothes and underwear to take a shower, and threw the wet clothes into the washer-dryer.

While taking a shower, Qin Zhao paused for a moment when her gaze fell on her chest; it seemed to have gotten a little bigger.

She didn't feel much discomfort when she wore a corset before, but now it feels a bit tight.

She suddenly became a little irritable, letting the shower hit her face and the water stifle her breath.

Qin Qiong seemed to have no ulterior motives in bringing her back; he was simply being kind to her.

She assumed the worst about them, initially using them as a stepping stone to leave that place.

How should we end this now?
What would they think if I told them she had been lying to them all along?

Will I think she's scheming and has dirty thoughts? Will I dislike her because of that?
Will I... abandon her again?

The mist was thick, water kept sliding down my face, and the feeling of suffocation grew stronger, forcing my body to instinctively flee from under the water jet.

She was breathing heavily.

See? That's how dirty her mind is.

Jiang Dahai was right to say that she couldn't be tamed.

But why should they love her unconditionally?
Qin Zhao's eyes were incredibly sore from the impact of the water, and he deliberately avoided showing his physical characteristics.

A phrase often uttered by the old women in urban villages popped into Qin Zhao's mind—

I wish she were a boy.

The rain was getting heavier, so Qin Zhao sent a message to his class teacher to ask for leave.

The phone lit up briefly.

Shen Yanci: "Did you bring an umbrella?"

"Bring it."

"I didn't bring it. Come pick me up after school."

"..."

Qin Zhao: "I've already left. Doesn't the school have shared umbrellas? Scan one."

"If there really isn't one, I'll come pick you up."

"OK?"

Before I could even send the last sentence, the phone rang.

"Why did you go back early? Were you feeling unwell?"

"No, I got a little rained on, so I came back to change my clothes and skipped class."

"Skipping class?" Shen Yanci's tone rose slightly, carrying a hint of laziness. "It's not about skipping me, that's fine."

"Why would I run away from you?" Qin Zhao said, then remembered what he had said yesterday, and felt a headache coming on. "You're clearly not angry anymore."

Shen Yanci raised an eyebrow: "How do you know I'm not angry anymore? You read my mind."

Qin Zhao said calmly, "If you're angry, why are you telling me so much?"

"..."

"Is it okay if I'm polite and have high moral character?"

"Row."

Qin Zhao thought they had talked enough, and after waiting two seconds, Shen Yanci still hadn't hung up: "Brother Yanci, is there anything else?"

Shen Yanci laughed in exasperation: "Did I bother you?"

"No."

There was a pause on the other end, then a low, gentle voice said, "Drink some ginger soup to warm yourself up." The rain outside was still heavy, and Qin Zhao hadn't turned on the lights, so the room was a bit dark.

Qin Zhao wondered if the static from the phone call made her voice sound too soft and slow, but she felt as if she had been soothed, and her heart felt comforted for a while.

The quiet atmosphere was broken by Lin Shi's phone call, and Qin Zhao answered it.

"Is the rain quite heavy in City B?"

Qin Zhao nodded.

"Why don't we just stay there for the night? That way it'll be easier to talk to Mom and Dad later." Lin Shi said, admiring his jawline. "Why didn't you turn on the light? Is it broken?"

"You make videos, isn't it because you want to see yourself?"

"..."

Lin Shi wasn't ashamed at all: "Of course I should appreciate someone as handsome as me."

"You can stay there, but don't let Auntie come over," Lin Shi instructed. "Mom pays her salary, and I'm afraid she'll say something inappropriate. Order takeout; there should be some food in the fridge. Make do with that for now, and I'll treat you to a big meal when I get back!"

"..."

Qin Zhao nestled on the sofa and memorized vocabulary words on his phone for a while, but he started to feel sleepy.

In her daze, she heard the sound of entering a password and opening the door. She woke up instantly and quickly hid behind the sofa.

With a snap, light flooded the room.

So blatant?

The man stood at the door for a while before coming in.

Qin Zhao casually picked up a vase, and his watch immediately alerted the police and sent his location.

She paused for a moment when she saw who it was, and quickly cancelled the call to the police.

This is the scene that Shen Yanci saw when he came in. Qin Zhao was wearing his clothes and slippers, with his collar turned to the left, revealing half of his shoulder. He also had a red mark on his face. He asked him awkwardly, "Brother Yanci, what brings you here?"

He felt a tightness in his throat, and a heat that didn't belong to the weather rose up on his body.

Qin Zhao put the vase back and straightened his collar, which had been askew. "Are you coming to take a bath too?"

The pajamas didn't fit properly, and the pants were too long. She had folded them several times, but because of her movement, one pant leg was dragging on the ground, and the other revealed a slender ankle.

But because Shen Yanci was there, she didn't bend down to break it—

The collar is also a bit too big.

Qin Zhao felt that his gaze was strange, and looked down at his clothes: "Do I look a little odd in Lin Shi's clothes?"

Oh, Lin Shi's clothes.

Yes, he also has a set of pajamas like that.

Shen Yanci suddenly felt a little annoyed: "Hmm, this is strange."

"..."

Qin Zhao estimated that his school uniform was almost dry, so he changed into his own clothes.

She came out and saw Shen Yanci with the window open, his hand resting on the windowsill, and raindrops drifting in at an angle.

She called out, "Brother Yanci."

Shen Yanci paused for a moment.

"You can go take a shower now."

Shen Yanci's suppressed agitation resurfaced, and he licked his lower lip: "Why are you rushing me to take a shower?"

"..."

What are you doing here if you're not going to take a shower?
Qin Zhao instinctively knew that he hadn't brought an umbrella and had gotten wet, so he came over to take a hot shower and borrowed a set of clothes from Lin Shi.

But when she looked again, Shen Yanci didn't look wet at all, except for his face and chest that had just been wet from the window.

What is he doing here?
A bad thought suddenly popped into Qin Zhao's mind.

Could it be that he came here to sleep because he didn't want the hassle of sleeping in the rain?
She asked tentatively, "When are you coming home, Brother Yanci?"

Shen Yanci could easily understand her meaning. He lifted his eyelids slightly and looked at her coldly.

Qin Zhao moved his mouth slightly, then quickly said, "I'm not urging you to leave, I'm just going home. I'm wondering if you want to come with me."
