It was very quiet outside. Jiang Yining went to take a look in the living room. No one was there. Only a small warm-toned light was on.

He Xiaohui stayed in his little nest and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Jiang Yining turned around and went back to the bedroom. The light was on, but He Chi was not there. She went to the cloakroom to get clothes first.

She opened the wardrobe and hesitated for a moment between pajamas and nightgown before finally taking the one on the right.

His body was getting hotter and hotter, and Jiang Yining felt that even his breathing was more intense and uncomfortable than usual.

Now she finally understood why men took cold showers when they felt particularly uncomfortable.

Jiang Yining felt that at this moment he especially needed some cold water to cool down his heat.

When they reached the bathroom door, He Chi opened the door and came out, and the two of them faced each other.

He Chi looked at her flushed face and frowned, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Jiang Yining looked up at him, and although he felt a little embarrassed, he still answered truthfully.

He only drank half a bowl of Aunt Zhang's soup and didn't dare to drink any more, let alone Jiang Yining who drank three bowls in one breath.

Like He Xiaohui, they are both little greedy cats, so he will only be away for a short while.

He seemed to see through Jiang Yining and said, "No cold showers allowed. I have a way to help you."

Jiang Yining no longer had any thoughts about how he could help her.

She also knows her body, even though it is summer, she dare not take a cold shower

Jiang Yining took a step closer and sniffed He Chi carefully, "Did you spray perfume?"

When Jiang Yining approached him, He Chi took advantage of the situation and put his arm around Jiang Yining's waist. He hummed, "Sprayed a little. Is the smell strong?"

Jiang Yining felt her heart beating faster when he suddenly hugged her. He was dressed properly tonight.

He Chi has a complete set of pajamas, but he doesn't like to wear them. He just likes to wear a T-shirt and sports shorts as pajamas, or just a pair of boxer shorts.

Being too close to him, Jiang Yining swallowed uncomfortably and said slowly, "It's quite bland, but it tastes good."

After saying that, she struggled a bit and said, "I have to take a shower."

He Chi was also stared at by Aunt Zhang while he was having dinner and drank half a bowl of soup. He felt uncomfortable too and had to use cold water to suppress the dryness in his body.

At this moment, he and Jiang Yining were close to each other, and He Chi felt that his restlessness was aroused by her again.

He reluctantly let go of her hand, "Well, remember not to take a cold shower."

He Chi suddenly had some free time. He didn't know what to do. Seeing that the curtains were half open, he took the remote control and closed them.

He glanced at the drawer of the bedside table, opened it and studied it for a while, then got up and went outside to get a glass of water, and walked back to the sofa in the living room.

The second hand of the wall clock turned round and round. He Chi forced himself to calm down and watched it boredly for who knows how long.

After Jiang Yining took a shower, the heat in her body did not subside but increased. When she came out, she saw a box of "small umbrellas" on the bedside table.

She looked away as if her eyes were burning.

At this moment, He Chi pushed the door open and came in, holding a bottle of warm water for Jiang Yining.

He saw that Jiang Yining was not wearing the kind of formal pajamas, but a champagne-colored satin nightgown with a bow tied around the waist.

Her waist-length hair fell below her shoulders. Perhaps because of the heat from her body, Jiang Yining's eyes were blurry as if she was drunk.

Tonight was the fourth time he and Jiang Yining slept in the same room, except for the time when she was sick, the night when Jiang Yining got drunk when they returned to He's house, and last night he got drunk again.

And tonight, no one was sick, and no one was drunk.

He Chi stared at her with his dark eyes for a while, then calmly closed the door and locked it.

It was just her and him at home, and Jiang Yining didn't know whether he locked the door to prevent He Xiaohui from doing so.

He Chi put the cup on the bedside table and asked her, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Jiang Yining bit her lip, and her flushed face gave the answer.

He Chi sat down beside the bed, his voice hoarse, "Come here, I'll help you relieve it."
