Jian Wanyi took a deep breath, encouraged herself secretly, and finally walked out of the bathroom slowly with trembling legs. As soon as she raised her head, she met Gu Xiting's deep eyes.

She was startled and looked away like a frightened rabbit, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of the bowl of steaming soup on the table. She knew without thinking that it must be sent by Aunt Zhang again, right?

Seeing Jian Wanyi staring at the bowl of soup, Gu Xiting took the initiative to say, "This was specially sent by grandma. I've already drunk it. The temperature is just right. You should drink it while it's hot, too."

His voice was low and magnetic, as if carrying an invisible magic that made Jian Wanyi's heart beat faster involuntarily.

Gu Xiting had already gone into the bathroom to wash up, while Jian Wanyi picked up the bowl of steaming tonic soup that exuded a rich herbal aroma.

She took a small sip carefully. It tasted unexpectedly sweet and not as bitter as she had imagined.

So, Jian Wanyi drank the remaining soup without hesitation.

The warm liquid slid down the throat, as if bringing a warm current to the body, making people feel comfortable and relaxed.

After drinking the soup, Jian Wanyi suddenly thought of the embarrassing clothes she was wearing, and she didn’t know how to face Gu Xiting later.

So she decided to quickly climb onto the bed and cover herself tightly with the quilt before Gu Xiting came out of the bathroom.

She moved lightly and quickly, like a nimble kitten, afraid of making any noise that would attract Gu Xiting's attention. When she finally managed to shrink into the quilt, her heartbeat slowly returned to normal.

Now, she just hoped that Gu Xiting wouldn't notice anything unusual so that she could rest in peace.

About ten minutes later, the bathroom door slowly opened and Gu Xiting, wearing a loose bathrobe, walked out with steady steps.

His hair was wet, and water droplets slid down the ends of his hair and dripped onto the floor, making a slight sound.

He came to the bedside and his eyes fell on Jian Wanyi.

I saw that she had covered herself with the quilt, breathing evenly, with her eyes tightly closed, as if she had fallen into a sweet dream.

Looking at her nervous appearance, Gu Xiting's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

However, Jian Wanyi actually felt very hot at this moment.

Her cheeks flushed and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

However, due to shyness and embarrassment, she was too embarrassed to lift the quilt, for fear that Gu Xiting would find out that she was not asleep.

So she could only continue to pretend to be asleep, and an indescribable feeling of discomfort swept over her.

Gu Xiting's body suddenly became hot and dry, and it was then that he realized that what his grandmother had sent him was not just an ordinary tonic soup, but a medicinal meal with special ingredients added.

He himself was already feeling this uncomfortable, so wouldn't the little one lying in bed be even more uncomfortable? Moreover, she was tightly covered with a quilt!

Gu Xiting no longer cared whether she felt shy or not and hurriedly lifted the quilt.

What came into view was Jian Wanyi's flushed face, with fine beads of sweat covering her forehead, and even the pillow was a little wet.

Gu Xiting's heart tightened, full of pity, and he said softly: "Be good, quickly lift the quilt, it will be too hot."

Jian Wanyi had no choice but to obey and lift the quilt.

Her body was already soaked with sweat, as if all the effort she had put into taking a shower had been completely wasted.

My body is so hot at the moment, I might as well take a shower.

Gu Xiting stared at Jian Wanyi's cheeks, which were as red as the sunset, and couldn't help feeling worried. He carefully reached out his hand and gently touched the temperature of her forehead.

However, strangely, the moment Gu Xiting's fingers touched it, she felt a hint of coolness and a different kind of peace surged in her heart.

"It's so hot and I'm sweating so much. I have to take another shower." After saying that, Jian Wanyi ran to the bathroom again.

Looking at the frightened little white rabbit, Gu Xiting laughed.

Gu Xiting picked up the hair dryer and blew his hair.

Jian Wanyi finished washing quickly. This time she wasn't as awkward as last time and she came out very quickly.

Her hair was quite wet, and she looked at Gu Xiting, "Did you see the hair dryer?"

Gu Xiting smiled slightly and walked over with a hair dryer.

Just as Jian Wanyi was about to answer it, he gently held her with his other hand and pulled her to the dressing table, "Come, let your husband blow dry your hair."

Although Jian Wanyi was extremely reluctant, her body involuntarily followed him.

She sat quietly in the chair, like a docile little lamb, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.

At this moment, the distance between the two was very close, so close that Jian Wanyi could even feel Gu Xiting's warm breath gently brushing her cheek.

Gu Xiting's bony hands gently played with her hair like an artist.

With every touch, Jian Wanyi's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

She was surprised to find that she didn't hate such close contact with him at all, and even a trace of indescribable desire was ignited deep in her heart.

This feeling was so strange and yet so wonderful that she couldn't help but indulge in it...

She was puzzled as to why her body was becoming increasingly hot and uncomfortable even though she had already bathed again.

This passion is not limited to the body, but also ignites the heart.

However, what she did not realize was that Gu Xiting's current condition was not much different from hers.

Gu Xiting's eyes were fixed on the pretty figure in front of him. His throat rolled unconsciously and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He had always been known for his self-discipline, but suddenly he realized that when facing this woman, the desire deep in his heart was so difficult to suppress, as if he was about to lose control.

At this moment, the scene of kissing her has appeared in his mind countless times.

As the buzzing sound of the hair dryer stopped abruptly, her wet hair became dry and smooth.

The room instantly fell into silence, so quiet that one could even clearly hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.

For the first time in his life, Gu Xiting came to a profound realization that he had been too optimistic about his own willpower.

Faced with such a situation, the only thing he could do was to quickly find a reason to get away.

"I'm going to the study to read a book," said Gu Xiting, but he also felt that this excuse was too ordinary and old-fashioned.

But at this moment, he really couldn't think of a better reason to get rid of the embarrassing situation.

He took a deep breath, trying to make himself look more natural, and then slowly stood up.

However, just as he was about to leave his seat, he suddenly felt a force pulling his hand.
