Chapter 61: Chapter 60 She’s Taking a Shower

It’s Qing Feng, it’s dew, it’s blushing cheeks, it’s none but you. — Anon

The girl, whose face was burning like fire, dashed back to her room as if she had wind-fire wheels on her feet. Leaning against the door with heart palpitations, her heart was violently pounding; Dr. Gao’s question earlier kept flashing in her mind.

How could he ask such an outrageously inappropriate question?!

For a time, she didn’t know whether to call Dr. Gao cute or cunning, but anyhow, with just an inadvertent question from the man, she would completely lose her footing.

Perhaps in front of Dr. Gao, she had become a kite under his control; once he tugged lightly, it would be an earth-shattering experience for her.

After pondering quietly for a few seconds, the girl finally came back to her senses, reached out her hand to turn on the switch, and bright light filled the room. Jiang An estimated that her hand had healed quite a bit and thought she should be able to bathe on her own, so she took out pajamas from the wardrobe and walked into the bathroom.

The showerhead sprinkled water mist throughout the room, the girl stood naked in the center of the bathroom, trying her best not to let the droplets touch her injured hand. The hazy mist spread across the bathroom, and the sparkling water droplets flowed down her slender waistline, gently washing away the intense heat from her body.

The night was like smoke, and in the vast sky, only a few flickering stars twinkled faintly. After Gao Chuan finished cleaning up the garbage, he glanced at the wall clock and noticed the hour hand pointing at "9". He got up, took a carton of milk from the fridge, and, as usual, went to the kitchen to warm it up.

When he walked to Jiang An’s room with a steaming cup of milk and knocked several times without any reply, the man slightly cracked the door open only to find no one inside. Hearing the sound of water from the bathroom, he realized Jiang An was taking a bath. With composure, he walked in, just as he placed the milk on the table, he saw the phone on the table vibrating intensely.

The girl must have set her phone to vibrate. Gao Chuan glanced casually at the phone screen, his eyebrows furrowed when he saw the incoming call labeled "Wei Yan". His face suddenly became stern.

Initially, he had no intention of answering the call, but to his surprise, the other party kept calling persistently. The buzzing sound reached his ears, and a cold light shot from his dark pupils.

Feeling agitated and annoyed, he thought it wasn’t right to let it keep ringing like this. Almost as if possessed, Gao Chuan picked up the phone and pressed the answer button. Wei Yan’s deep voice came through the earpiece: "Anan, I heard you were injured?"

Despite the cold electric current, one could sense the urgency in the other’s voice. Gao Chuan suddenly remembered Wei Yan confronting him at the hospital not long ago, and a shadow passed over his face.

Wei Yan on the other end of the phone waited for a long time without a reply and asked: "Anan, are you there?"

For some reason, every time Gao Chuan heard the man affectionately call her "Anan", he felt an itch in his heart, whether it was their first meeting or the face-to-face confrontation last time. This man always seemed consistently unbearable to him.

The man moved his lips slightly and said coldly: "She’s taking a shower."

Wei Yan, hearing the man’s rigid voice, seemed not to have expected him to answer the call and directly asked: "Why is it you?"

At this moment, Gao Chuan had no mood to entertain Wei Yan’s question anymore and straightforwardly hung up the phone. It was not until after he put the phone back in its place that he realized what he had just done. A hint of surprise flickered in his eyes as he propped his hands on the table, his eyebrows deeply furrowed.

What was he doing? Since when had he become so childish?

Just as he was still secretly annoyed with himself, he suddenly heard a loud "bang" from the bathroom accompanied by Jiang An’s sharp scream. With almost no hesitation, the man rushed to the bathroom door, knocked gently, and raised his voice to shout: "Jiang An, are you alright?"

At the time, Jiang An, having taken a hard fall and now lying bottom up in the bathroom, was grimacing in pain as she tried to sit up. On hearing Dr. Gao’s voice, she looked up and saw a dark silhouette at the bathroom door. She realized that when she fell, she had accidentally landed on her left hand, and the wound was aching faintly. But what hurt more was her buttocks, which felt like they were about to split in two.

The girl still spoke up and said: "I’m fine."

However, Gao Chuan outside the door did not walk away immediately. Within a few seconds, he heard Jiang An cry out in pain from inside, and panic flickered in his eyes. Without a second thought, he opened the bathroom door and walked in.

Seeing Jiang An lying naked on the floor, helplessly curled into a ball, Gao Chuan quickly turned his head to the side in a gentlemanly manner. Jiang An, noticing the man who had abruptly burst in, covered her chest with her hands in flushed embarrassment.

But it was all a futile attempt to close the barn door after the horse has bolted – what was seen had been seen.

Gao Chuan swiftly grabbed a towel from the rack, bent over and draped it over the shivering girl’s body, doing his best not to look in her direction. However, he still inevitably brushed against her skin, which was beaded with water drops, before abruptly letting go of the towel again.

In a matter of moments, he had wrapped the girl’s key areas with the towel. He bent down to lift her by the waist, and Jiang An, now nestled in his chest, kept her gaze lowered and her head bowed, her entire face burning with blushes.

If there was a crack in the ground right now, she would definitely dive into it in an instant.

Gao Chuan carried the girl to the bed and gently laid her down. When he turned his gaze back, he saw that Jiang An had already hurriedly pulled a quilt over herself, wrapping her entire figure as tightly as a rice dumpling. She looked like a startled little white rabbit, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

The two had been living together for over a month, and such an awkward incident had never happened before. Gao Chuan was just afraid that the young lady might have had an accident. He hadn’t even realized that he had burst in so rashly.

"Did you hurt anywhere?" Standing by the bed, the man managed to remain composed and even remembered to ask about her current condition.

However, Jiang An, who had just been exposed, had no inclination to pay attention to where she might be injured. Her mind was filled with the embarrassment and shame of being seen by Dr. Gao. Only after hearing Gao Chuan’s query did she start to feel the pain from the fall as if her bones were almost falling apart, especially her buttocks...

But how could she articulate that? Sitting on the bed with her wet hair still dripping, she turned her head and shyly replied: "It’s nothing."

Dr. Gao, who had witnessed the whole embarrassing scene, knew about Jiang An’s ostrich-like nature and might as well have asked for nothing, "Is your hand okay?"

Jiang An was about to deny any injury when Dr. Gao preemptively told her, "Your hand got wet, which is not good for the wound. I will go get the medicine kit to redress it for you."

Sitting on the bed, Jiang An, hearing Dr. Gao say this, wanted to refuse, but she couldn’t stop the man who had already walked out of her room. She didn’t want to spend another second with Dr. Gao, afraid that if this continued, she would explode on the spot.

Taking advantage of Dr. Gao’s absence from the room, Jiang An quickly threw off the quilt and scrambled to put on a piece of clothing she had taken off earlier. Recalling the socially mortifying moments just before, she buried her head in the quilt and didn’t move for a long time.
