Suddenly, the sound of running water in the bathroom stopped. After a short while, there was a "click," and the door opened.
Shu Ran emerged, wearing a thick pink rabbit onesie, lazily drying her damp hair. She looked up and saw Qin Xian sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her phone.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and was met with her petite and delicate figure.
Her fair skin, flushed from the hot water and heating, appeared tender and cute. She gazed at him with her bright, clear eyes, and her lips were slightly red from biting them, losing their color.
She was a feast for the eyes.
Qin Xian could only describe her with those four words in his mind.
Suddenly, he felt his throat dry up, as if a fire had been ignited within him, surging through his body and making him feel hot. He just wanted to do something to cool down. At that moment, he felt like a beast ready to pounce, lurking and wanting to devour her.
Shu Ran sensed this too; she was no longer an innocent girl. She could guess some of his thoughts. In fact, she had known that tonight would be extraordinary, so she had prepared herself to some extent.
However, she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. Biting her lip, she mustered the courage to suggest that he take a shower before he lost some of his rationality.
Shu Ran practically pushed him into the bathroom. His skin was so hot that it made her palms feel warm as well. Blushing, she hurriedly stuffed his clothes into his hands and forcefully closed the bathroom door. Then she quickly dashed back to the bed, fearing someone might be chasing her from behind.
Left locked in the bathroom, Qin Xian found himself at a loss for whether to laugh or cry at her actions. How scared was she of what he might do?
Shaking his head, he decided to let it go for now. There was no rush; after all, he had waited this long and didn't mind another half hour. Tonight, he would make sure she belonged entirely to him.
Thinking this way lifted his spirits again, completely forgetting about her listening to that oppressive music earlier.
Shu Ran pushed him into the bathroom and, hearing the sound of running water, finally let out a sigh of relief.
Although she knew what would happen tonight, knowing did not mean she was prepared, and being prepared did not mean she could fully let go.
At this critical moment, she was still extremely nervous.
Shu Ran picked up a glass of water from the windowsill and drank it down in large gulps, which slightly eased her tension.
Perhaps it was due to her lack of confidence; she wanted to find someone to talk to or at least say something casually. But in the vast Qin Residence, there were only servants and Qin Ma, with no one to keep her company.
Thinking about it, Zhou Jiajia was her only option.
Shu Ran thought about it and wanted to message her for a casual chat to relieve her nerves. However, as she searched left and right on the bed, she couldn't find her phone.
Strange, where could her phone be?
Shu Ran murmured to herself, forgetting to dry her hair as she bent down to look from the head of the bed to the foot, but it was nowhere to be found.
She paused to think carefully; she clearly remembered placing it next to her pillow before taking a shower. How could it have disappeared?
Could it be...
Qin Xian took it?
As she thought about this, she suddenly recalled that when she had just finished showering, she had seen Qin Xian playing with her phone in his hands.
No way...
Did Qin Xian take it?
Shu Ran suddenly became more anxious. Normally, if Qin Xian took her phone, she wouldn't say anything. After all, there was nothing embarrassing in it; he could look through it if he wanted.
But now, that wasn't the case.
She had joined the Fellowship group, where the chat sometimes contained all sorts of random content. She didn't think much of it since she could just ignore it. However, if Qin Xian saw it, he might overthink things.
Moreover, someone had been persistently requesting to add her on WeChat since last night. She hadn't agreed, but he kept sending requests.
What if Qin Xian saw that? She was afraid he would misunderstand.
So, Shu Ran was nervous and didn't know if he had seen anything when he looked at her phone earlier.
She cautiously moved to the bathroom door and softly asked, "Did you see my phone, Qin Xian?"
Perhaps the sound of the water was too loud; he couldn't hear her. Shu Ran frowned and raised her voice to repeat the question.
"Qin Xian, did you see my phone?"
The sound of water in the bathroom abruptly stopped, and she heard his voice faintly coming from inside, "Yeah, it's here."
???
"Is her phone in the bathroom? Did he take it?"
"No, why would he take her phone while he's showering?"
Shu Ran felt a headache coming on and rubbed her temples anxiously. After a while, she softly negotiated with him, "I need it, could you please give it back to me?"
Qin Xian unexpectedly agreed readily, "Sure."
Shu Ran was still a bit incredulous that he was so accommodating, but since he said so, she replied, "Then can you hand it to me?"
"Just come in and get it yourself."
???
Standing at the door waiting, Shu Ran suddenly froze.
What did Qin Xian just say? He wanted her to go in and get it herself?
???
Is he serious?
Shu Ran forced a laugh, "Don't joke around, hurry up, I have something urgent."
His tone was calm and didn't sound like he was joking at all. "I'm not joking. Just come in and get it; it's on the sink."
Shu Ran naturally refused, saying, "I don't want it; you bring it to me."
"I'm in the shower, my hands are not free. You can come in yourself."
Hearing his words, Shu Ran felt torn inside, unsure whether to take it or not.
If she took it, she would have to go in. If she didn't take it, what if he casually found it later?
It was a difficult decision.
Sighing, Shu Ran gritted her teeth and asked, "Just leave it on the sink?"
He replied lightly with an "Mm."
Frowning, Shu Ran made her decision: "Alright then."
The sink was just behind the bathroom door, while the bathtub was at the far end of the bathroom, separated by a curtain. Shu Ran thought that as long as she opened the door and quickly ran to grab her phone from the sink before running back out, everything would be fine. She reassured herself that she wouldn't see anything inappropriate.
With that thought, she felt less afraid.
