Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Lu Youxi’s wrist trembled from the heat of his palm

The sheets and duvet covers were all new, with a fresh scent lingering from being washed and dried.

After Lu Youxi came back today, her closet now also held several of her clothes, hanging side by side with Zhou Shuyan’s.

The closet didn’t look empty anymore.

Lu Youxi’s room wasn’t big, but it had a small bathroom inside.

It hadn’t seemed noticeable during the day, but now at night, even with the light on and bright, the room suddenly felt cramped as Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan stood in there together.

The space seemed much smaller than it had during the day, and both of them standing there made it feel crowded.

Lu Youxi awkwardly remained silent while Zhou Shuyan appeared calm on the surface, although he was actually very nervous.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, the silence in the room making their breathing sound unusually loud.

"Ahem!" Lu Youxi cleared her throat awkwardly and slightly moved to the side.

But after just half a step, her leg was blocked by the bed next to her.

Lu Youxi: "..."

When she earned enough money, she would definitely buy a house with an especially large bedroom.

"Um... do you... want to take a shower?" Lu Youxi whispered to Zhou Shuyan.

In the unusually quiet room, Lu Youxi’s voice sounded tiny, as if stuck in her throat.

Zhou Shuyan was momentarily distracted and didn’t quite catch what Lu Youxi said.

He instinctively asked, "What did you just say?"

Lu Youxi: "..."

What?

Was there something inappropriate with what she said?

Could it be that asking him if he wanted to take a shower appeared to him as a misunderstanding?

"I didn’t mean anything else!" Lu Youxi hurriedly explained, "It’s just that it’s so hot today, you must have sweated being outside all day. Do you want to take a shower to feel comfortable?"

After saying the last sentence, Lu Youxi’s face turned beet red, and she even wanted to slap her own mouth.

Listen to what she was saying!

What did she mean by taking a shower to feel comfortable?

Why did that sound so off?

It almost sounded like she was inviting him to something!

Lu Youxi even dared not look into Zhou Shuyan’s eyes.

"What I meant was, do you want to take a shower to relax?" Lu Youxi added hastily.

But this phrase, which sounded totally normal on any other occasion, for some reason seemed odd now.

"I..." Lu Youxi waved her hands hurriedly, thinking about how to explain it without sounding weird.

Her wrist was then gently grasped by Zhou Shuyan.

The warmth of his palm made Lu Youxi’s wrist tremble, and she instinctively looked up, surprised, at Zhou Shuyan.

She caught sight of the slight curve of his lips.

His smile, it seemed to mock her current discomposure.

Lu Youxi quickly pulled her wrist out of his palm.

Zhou Shuyan didn’t stop her; instead, he smiled and said, "I understand what you meant, I didn’t misunderstand, don’t panic."

Lu Youxi: "..."

"I... I’m not panicking," Lu Youxi stubbornly said.

Zhou Shuyan chuckled softly, not pointing out her stutter.

"I was planning to take a shower, so should I go first?" Zhou Shuyan’s voice carried a hint of teasing warmth, like a steaming hot spring.

Lu Youxi wondered whether it was her own dirty mind, but somehow, his words sounded suggestive.

It felt like the two were agreeing to do something secretive.

"You... you go first," Lu Youxi quickly said.

"Okay," Zhou Shuyan nodded and leisurely took his pajamas out of the closet. He had brought them today and entered the bathroom.

Although the bathroom was small, it had a shower, which was very convenient.

Zhou Shuyan came directly from work, and before Lu Youxi returned home, he had arranged all his toiletries in the bathroom.

Zhou Shuyan entered the room, and Lu Youxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, fanning her face continuously, trying to cool down.

Finding it ineffective, she opened the window wider and stuck her head out.

The Imperial Capital was still somewhat hot during the day, but it had cooled down at night, the air crisp and cool.

Soon, the breeze blew away the redness on Lu Youxi’s face.

But even though the temperature on her face had dropped, her brain uncontrollably replayed the recent scene with Zhou Shuyan, leaving Lu Youxi feeling all over the place.

She exhaled deeply, calming herself for quite a while.

After several deep breaths and finally feeling somewhat recovered, clear sounds of showering echoed from the bathroom.

The distinct tap of water dropping on the floor and skin had a noticeably different sound.

Those uncontrolled sounds of water entered Lu Youxi’s ears.

Lu Youxi’s mind once again uncontrollably conjured images of Zhou Shuyan standing under the shower.

The crucial thing was she had indeed seen Zhou Shuyan shirtless before and remembered it all too clearly.

Even though she hadn’t seen and couldn’t imagine what Zhou Shuyan looked like from his waist down, just the image of water hitting his shoulders, flowing down his back, chest, narrow waist, and sculpted abs was clear and unobstructed in her mind, making Lu Youxi feel like she was burning up.

Lu Youxi, dry-mouthed and thirsty, wanted desperately to chug down tons of ice water.

But now, she didn’t dare go out, her face was embarrassingly red, and she didn’t know how to explain if asked, so awkward.

Lu Youxi could only stick her head out of the window again.

After a long while, when she started feeling a bit cold, she finally pulled her head back in.

Lu Youxi exhaled, slapped her cheeks several times saying, "Stop listening, stop listening, do something else to distract yourself. If you can’t hear, you won’t think about it."

Lu Youxi kept telling herself this while internally griping about why Zhou Shuyan had to keep his physique so perfect.

She appreciated good-looking guys with attractive bodies.

But when someone as stunning as Zhou Shuyan stood right in front of her, she actually felt weak.

Lu Youxi looked down at the floor by the bed.

Only the floor next to the bed had enough space to lay a quilt for Zhou Shuyan to sleep on.

Lu Youxi opened the closet, and at the very top, there were indeed two new quilts, enough for Zhou Shuyan to use.

Lu Youxi then got a chair to stand on to reach the quilts.

The one she was using on the bed and one in the closet were new and lighter.

Another one brought by Liu Yushu from Hexing Village was much thicker and heavier.

Lu Youxi decided to use the heavier one as a mattress on the floor for Zhou Shuyan to sleep on.

The lighter one at the top, Lu Youxi easily took out.

The heavy and thick quilt was particularly large, and Lu Youxi strained a bit to carry it.

As she took it out from the closet, the oversized quilt covered her face.

The weight of the quilt pushed her slightly backward.

And just at that moment, although Lu Youxi couldn’t see, she thought she heard the bathroom door open.
