Even though the matter had not been explained clearly, Zhuang Nainai had faith that they would slowly understand each other better as they lived together. She also believed that as a result, they would grow to trust each other.
The unfamiliarity between them stemmed from how they had been separated for five years. To build trust, one had to take it slowly and over time. Fortunately, they were man and wife – what they had was time.
After Si Zhengting entered the master bedroom, he headed directly for the bathroom. As someone who was particular about cleanliness, he could not stand how he had not washed his hair for the day. He took a bath, then put on a bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom.
While he was showering, Zhuang Nainai ran to his study room. She brought the black dress s.h.i.+rt that she had bought for him into the master bedroom. When he walked out of the bathroom, she looked at him, her eyes bright. “Do you want to try this s.h.i.+rt on? If you put it on, you’ll definitely look really stylis.h.!.+”
Si Zhengting glanced at her and arched his brow. He seemed conflicted.
Zhuang Nainai felt slightly disappointed immediately. “I’ll store it away for you first.”
Perhaps this s.h.i.+rt was fated to be left at the bottom of his clothes drawer, a heavy coat of dust on top of it.
Just as she was feeling disappointed, she heard Si Zhengting say, “Why are you standing there in a daze? You’re not gonna help me?”
Zhuang Nainai raised her head and saw Si Zhengting walking over to the coat room next door.
Her expression immediately brightened and she looked overjoyed. She suddenly realized that Si Zhengting wasn’t a difficult person to get along with.
She took out the black dress s.h.i.+rt and rushed over to Si Zhengting excitedly. She observed Si Zhengting standing before the mirror, seemingly deliberating about something.
Zhuang Nainai placed herself in front of him and raised the dress s.h.i.+rt. “Why aren’t you taking your clothes off!?”
Si Zhengting turned around and arched a brow. “You’re sure that I have to take my clothes off?”
“Of course you have to take them off, how else would you try this dress s.h.i.+rt on?”
This man couldn’t lack such simple common sense as well, could he?
Zhuang Nainai soon understood his concerns.
Because Si Zhengting had taken off his bathrobe before her un.o.bstructed line of vision.
Then, he revealed his entire well-built body.
Maize-colored skin, clearly defined abdominal muscles, those long legs – although they were slender, one could tell that they were really strong. Other than that… Zhuang Nainai could not help but steal a glance. Her cheeks blushed furiously soon after that.
How did this man have such an effect on her just by trying on some clothes?!
She could not help but turn her head. She wanted to look but felt embarra.s.sed about it. Her fiery red cheeks were like ripe apples waiting to be picked.
“Come here,” he said indifferently, and she subconsciously obeyed. Then she saw him raising an arm, and she dazedly helped him to put on the dress s.h.i.+rt.
He did not appear to find the process awkward. Instead, he stared at his reflection in the mirror, calm and collected, while doing up his b.u.t.tons.
He raised his head. After he b.u.t.toned the first b.u.t.ton, he paused a while, then turned back and asked, “What’s the size of this s.h.i.+rt?”
Zhuang Nainai was already drooling from the view of her handsome hunk. When she heard his question, she subconsciously swallowed, then answered, “Size XL!”
Si Zhengting: “…”
Zhuang Nainai immediately asked in an anxious tone, “What? Is the size wrong? The service staff told me that for someone who is 185 cm tall, they should be wearing an XXL-sized s.h.i.+rt. However, if the person is very thin, then they should be wearing size XL!”
Si Zhengting was speechless. He was not fat indeed, but he was not as skinny as a bamboo either. Although he was wiry, he was strong, and his body reflected that!
Moreover!
What was XL anyway?
All his clothes were custom-made and there was no standard of measurement a.s.signed to them.
But seeing how Zhuang Nainai was nervously glancing at him, he somehow found himself saying, “The size is just right.”
Zhuang Nainai finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing how she was so stirred up over buying clothes for him, Si Zhengting suddenly felt that the slight tightness around his neck didn’t feel so irritating after all.
