As the evening light faded, Chi Mu Jiu groggily opened her eyes. Instinctively, she reached out to the space beside her, only to find it empty. A wave of unease washed over her, dispelling any remnants of sleep. She quickly sat up and glanced around the room in a panic.
At that moment, Du Heng Yan emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in a loose bathrobe. His hair was still damp, droplets glistening as they trickled down his finely sculpted collarbone, following a path that hinted at enticing curves beneath the robe.
Seeing Chi Mu Jiu sitting on the bed with a slightly flustered expression, Du Heng Yan raised an eyebrow, a teasing smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. "What’s wrong? Did you think I ran away?"
Caught off guard by his perceptiveness, Chi Mu Jiu felt a flush of embarrassment and didn’t know how to respond.
Noticing her discomfort, Du Heng Yan leaned down slightly and gently brushed his fingers against her forehead, checking her temperature. Satisfied that she felt normal, he withdrew his hand.
"I’ve already washed your clothes," he said casually while drying his hair. "But there’s one problem—I didn’t bring any spare clothes."
Chi Mu Jiu paused for a moment before responding decisively, "Go buy some."
"You want me to buy them for you?" Du Heng Yan raised an eyebrow, amusement dancing in his eyes.
Chi Mu Jiu studied his handsome yet aloof face but couldn’t decipher the deeper meaning behind his expression.
"Well, not exactly," she replied playfully. "Just come over and let me feel your abs."
Du Heng Yan shot her an exasperated look but nonetheless moved closer obediently.
The atmosphere in the room shifted subtly, as if countless emotions were weaving and intertwining in the air.
"Have you had enough?" Du Heng Yan asked with a hint of resignation in his voice.
"Not at all; I’m addicted now," Chi Mu Jiu said with satisfaction, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"I can’t just walk around without clothes on," Du Heng Yan frowned slightly, looking helpless.
"Just one more time," Chi Mu Jiu said with a playful flutter of her eyelashes.
Du Heng Yan truly felt he had spoiled her; taking a deep breath, he seized her hand before she could continue her mischief. With a firm grip, he lifted her effortlessly and headed straight for the bathroom.
If you won't behave, then I have no choice but to take matters into my own hands.
As Chi Mu Jiu was carried into the bathroom, she realized that Du Heng Yan had not only prepared the bathwater, but it was also at the perfect temperature. To her surprise, even the toothpaste was ready for her; it was already squeezed onto the toothbrush and neatly placed in the rinsing cup.
"Wash up first; I'll go prepare breakfast," he said gently as he placed her in the bathtub. After ensuring she was comfortable, Du Heng Yan turned to leave, carefully closing the bathroom door behind him.
Sitting in the tub, Chi Mu Jiu found herself in a daze, reflecting on Du Heng Yan's thoughtfulness and care. With such a considerate man attending to her every need, she felt as if she might become utterly dependent on him.
Yet this feeling of being pampered enveloped her like a sweet embrace, making her reluctant to wake from this blissful state. Regardless of who Du Heng Yan was or what his background entailed, she had already fallen for him.
By the time Chi Mu Jiu finished getting ready and made her way downstairs, breakfast was already prepared. She glanced at the table where a nutritious meal awaited: soy milk paired with soft-boiled eggs and perfectly cooked bacon.
"How did you know I lived here?" she asked after finishing her soy milk and setting down her cup, turning her gaze toward Du Heng Yan.
He was focused on tidying up the kitchen utensils when he heard her question. Without looking up, he casually replied, "Did you forget that female customers fill out a form when they enter the store?"
Chi Mu Jiu suddenly recalled this detail and lightly tapped her forehead in realization. She had completely forgotten about it. When entering the male model shop, female customers were indeed required to provide their information. Since Du Heng Yan worked there, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to access her details.
