Stunned like a wooden chicken, s.h.i.+ Guang took a few seconds before snapping back to her senses.
Just as she was thinking about how she should explain using his bathroom, she suddenly realized that she was inappropriately dressed. In a shock, she wrapped her arms around her chest and spun around.
She was long used to sleeping right after showering, and had thus forgotten to bring her lingerie up with her, expecting to head back down right after showering. But, she had not expected for Lu Yanchen to return home!
“W-Well…!” s.h.i.+ Guang’s face was flushed as red as a tomato, and she looked more embarra.s.sed than ever. “I-I’m sorry, but my house’s… sewers burst! Without water and electricity, I had no choice but to borrow your bathroom!”
Even without seeing her face, Lu Yanchen knew that she was blus.h.i.+ng from head down. He said nothing more.
No wonder he caught a whiff of a weird scent when he exited from the lift. But at this moment, for her to be standing in front of him after her shower, his nose was filled nothing but the refres.h.i.+ng fragrance of soap.
She was bent over slightly as her wet hair hung around her back, dripping down and causing everything to get wet. Because of that, her glisteningly jade-like skin was faintly discernible as well. The allure of something that could be made out faintly was ever so seductive.
Lu Yanchen moved his gaze away from her silently.
He turned around and walked up to the 2nd floor. However, he came down before long with a hairdryer, walking with huge strides.
Looking at how s.h.i.+ Guang was about to leave, he called her back, “Hold on!”
Instantly, s.h.i.+ Guang wrapped her arms around her chest once more before turning around to face him. She then saw him bringing the hairdryer before her. “Blow your hair dry.”
s.h.i.+ Guang wanted to reject him. However, she thought about how her house had no electricity or water, and thus took it over and returned to the bathroom with it.
She didn’t take long to dry her hair as she entered the living room with the hairdryer, only to see Lu Yanchen sitting on the sofa and petting Little Goody. Knowing that she had returned, he asked without turning back, “Where will you be staying for the next few days?”
s.h.i.+ Guang did not know.
There was no way she could stay downstairs. Because she hadn’t applied to the school’s hostel, she could not stay in it before school term reopened. As for Li Fangfei, she was staying in a hostel that was arranged for her by her workplace, hence it was naturally inconvenient for her to have s.h.i.+ Guang crash at her place.
Turning around and looking at that pet.i.te face of hers that was crumpled by frowning, Lu Yanchen knew the answer. He then said, “Pack your clothes and go stay at the villa for a couple of days.”
s.h.i.+ Guang’s eyes brightened.
That’s right! The villa where their swimming lessons were held was empty!
“You’re willing to let me stay there? I won’t stand on courtesy then! Thank you!”
At the start, s.h.i.+ Guang had thought that Lu Yanchen was lending her the villa to stay alone out of goodwill. But, just as she had packed and turned up at the villa, she discovered that he was inside as well, along with Little Goody!
Suddenly, s.h.i.+ Guang felt her heart skip a beat as she asked, unable to contain her astonishment, “You’re staying here too!”
Lu Yanchen strode forth, standing before her and looking her deep in her eyes, reversing the question, “Otherwise? You didn’t just bring harm to your floor, but the floors above and beneath yours.”
s.h.i.+ Guang was embarra.s.sed. She hadn’t asked for that either! It was just an accident!
“But… we… can’t do this? If you were to move here, can I move to your apartment then?”
A single look at her and Lu Yanchen could guess her thoughts. He then advanced further such that his voice was practically above her head, asking deeply, “What are you afraid of?”
She could feel her heart almost choking her throat as she gulped. She then cleared her throat before laughing out fakely to maintain her composure, “Fu, what do I have to be afraid of?”
“Then, why must you stay there no matter what? The smell back in the apartment is really heavy.” Lu Yanchen replied with a straight face, yet there was a mesmerizing charm to his expression. “It’s not like there’s no guestroom at the villa. Why now? You couldn’t have thought that we were sharing a bedroom, could you?”
s.h.i.+ Guang shook her head immediately. “No!!”
