Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Bath Time

Having just finished a shower, her slightly damp long hair casually draped over her shoulders, her eyebrows and eyelashes were stained with small water droplets condensed from the steam in the bathroom, and her skin was still slightly damp and red from the heat.

What does this photo represent? It signifies her natural beauty, her natural beauty, her beauty emerging from pure water. It signifies a casual photo taken after a shower, unadorned. And the clothes she wears are a casual, everyday nightgown, which makes the casual sexiness even more pronounced.

After sending the photo, Ji Hanxi waited anxiously for the other party's reply, but there was no response for a long time.

She wondered uncertainly, was it because she hadn't checked her phone? Did she miss the message? Or did she just not like the photo? Was it because the photo wasn't pretty...

She thought she looked pretty good. Even without makeup, her skin was translucent and her hair was jet black. She looked so pure and pretty. Could it be that the other person had such a poor sense of taste? Isn't it said that straight men prefer a natural look? Why didn't that apply to her?

The photo had been posted for a long time, and it was impossible to withdraw it. When she was about to turn off her phone in anger, she received a reply from the other party:

"Feel sorry"

"I just went to take a shower."

"It's been a bit long."

Ji Hanxi was instantly delighted when she saw the reply. He was just going to take a shower, not deliberately ignoring the message. She couldn't use her phone while showering, so she decided to forgive him for now.

But this wash took too long.

Never mind that. The fact that he took so long to wash meant he loved cleanliness. While she liked rough men, she didn't like dirty, smelly rough men. She'd read a manga about rough men before, and the hero in it was famous for his smelly feet. It almost made her lose her allure to rough men. Luckily, Crush wasn't that type of guy; she liked him even more.

After taking a shower, I returned to the room and just lay down on the bed when I heard the sound of scratching at the door. I opened it and saw my cat sitting upright at the door.

The moment she opened the door, she tilted her head and meowed, as if she wanted to come in.

Ji Hanxi quickly hugged the cat in her arms and sucked it madly. In her eyes, the cat was the cleanest cat and smelled like popcorn.

The cat doesn't like being sucked, but after putting it down, it rubs against her legs again and refuses to leave.

Ji Hanxi lay down on the lazy sofa, and the cat crawled over and nestled in her arms.

She held the cat while playing with her phone. The fluffy kitten felt wonderful to the touch, even more comfortable and warm than a hot water bottle. When she touched the kitten's head, it meowed. It was like a little machine, a delightful and entertaining experience.

Ji Hanxi switched WeChat's input mode to press and speak, and then said, "Listen, this is the voice of our kitten."

Of course, she didn't send this sentence to him, but to the file transfer assistant.

After sending, listen to your voice twice to hear what it sounds like on the phone, whether your throat is in good condition, and whether there is any hoarseness or phlegm.

Listening to my own voice on the phone feels so strange. Is her voice good? She herself can't quite make it out. Is it too high-pitched? Should I try to lower my voice to sound less high-pitched?

She tried it a few more times, and only sent him a voice message when she was sure her voice was in perfect condition.

"Listen, this is the voice of our kitten."

She hugged the kitten and petted it again, but this time it didn't make a sound. "Huh?" She was a little surprised, and with a trembling hand, she sent her voice message.

Hastily withdraw the message.

The other side replied:

"I heard it."

"Very cute."

But clearly, there was no kitten's voice, only her voice...

Ji Hanxi held her phone, her face gradually turning red, the blush spreading from her cheeks to her ears. She felt her face was burning, and she wondered if the air conditioner was heating it too well.

The kitten nestled on her, buried its face in her arms, and purred happily.

The next day, she got up early, put on makeup, and went to meet her best friend. She and Jingyao met at a newly opened coffee shop.

The decoration inside is very nice and suitable for taking photos. In addition, many people on Xiaohongshu recommend their desserts. This is a rare and delicious meal.

After seeing Jingyao, they screamed with excitement. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had a lot to say.

Ji Hanxi and Jing Yao had known each other since kindergarten. Before Jing Yao's house was demolished, it was very close to hers, only a few minutes' walk away. So from childhood to adulthood, from kindergarten to high school, they went to and from school together and went out to play together.

Jingyao sometimes goes to Ji Hanxi's house for meals. She says that the food cooked by Ji Hanxi's parents is the most delicious. Ji Hanxi goes to Jingyao's house to do her homework because she can secretly play with her mobile phone there.

Later, when they were in their third year of high school, the city was replanned and the area where Jingyao's family lived was completely demolished, and the two were finally separated.

However, even if they are separated, their friendship will not be broken. Whenever they have time, they will still get together. During the period after the college entrance examination, the two went out to travel together and took many photos and videos of each other. The beautiful photos she posted on her second account were basically taken during that period.

"Wow! I haven't seen you for a few months. You're so beautiful now? Who are you trying to charm to death?" Jing Yao bumped her buttocks with his hips and said in a mean way.

"You're not bad at all. At first sight I thought you were a female celebrity. Who allowed you to become so beautiful?" Ji Hanxi bumped back.

The two people were dressed extremely beautifully, from head to toe, even down to their hair, but they were making such childish and funny movements, which was a huge contrast.

The two entered the store, scanned the code to place their order, and quickly ordered several extremely beautiful-looking desserts.

Anyway, they come here mainly to take pictures. The appearance of the food is the most important, and the taste is secondary.

"Hanxi, look at my new camera. I just happened to bring it here today to try it out."

"Goodbye baby."

Jing Yao is very good at taking photos and can handle almost any style. Her dream is to become a photographer. She taught herself when she was young and received professional training when she grew up. Ji Hanxi can be regarded as her first model and her favorite model.

"Come on, baby, change your position, pick up some cake with a fork, and pretend to eat it. It looks really good. Yes, that's it, look at the camera..."

After Jingyao finished taking pictures of her, it was her turn to take pictures of Jingyao. Although she was not as professional as Jingyao, her photography skills were also very good, and she had a strong sense of the online atmosphere.

The two took hundreds of photos, and when they were sure they could form a nine-square grid, they stopped taking photos and started sitting in their seats to screen the photos.

"This one is good, but why is my expression so funny? Hahaha, how did you photoshop this one? Baby, please help me take a look. I believe in your aesthetic sense." Jing Yao nudged Ji Hanxi with her elbow.

"Ah? Um..." Ji Hanxi looked up, his expression a little confused, as if he had been daydreaming and had just been called back to his senses.

"You didn't choose a photo, are you chatting?" She glanced at Ji Hanxi's mobile phone interface and saw a green dialog box. She knew it was WeChat without having to guess.

"No..." Ji Hanxi was telling the truth, she was indeed not chatting.

She originally wanted to send the photos she had just taken to Crush, but suddenly found that those photos were too exquisite, so exquisite that they seemed a little out of touch with reality.

This kind of photo will create distance between me and the other person, so I hesitated for a moment and didn't send it. I will take some photos of my daily life in a few days and send them to him then.

"Why do you look so absent-minded? If someone didn't know you, they would think you were in an online relationship." Jing Yao teased her with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm in an online relationship."

"Ah?" Jing Yao thought she had misheard.

"I'm in an online relationship." Ji Hanxi repeated, "and it's currently a one-sided crush."

"Ah???!" Jing Yao's mouth dropped open in shock, as if she had just seen a ghost. "Are you kidding me? How is that possible? How could you have an online romance? And a secret crush on someone? Are you the type to have a secret crush?"

"Why not?"

"If nothing else, online dating is so unreliable. Didn't you say before that only elementary school students fall in love online? You're well aware of all the examples of online relationships that have gone wrong online. Don't let yourself be fooled by bad people!"

Ji Hanxi smiled, with an expression of confidence, "Don't worry, my online love will never fail! I've seen him before and know what he looks like. He happens to be the type that I'm most attracted to."

"Oh... you've known him for a long time." The best friend felt relieved.

"Not really an acquaintance. We met once and exchanged a few words before adding each other on WeChat."

"If you can meet in real life, why is it called online love? I think online love is the kind of love that happens online without you being able to meet in person."

"Because he's overseas, even if we're in love, it's over the Internet, so it's not an exaggeration to call it an online relationship."

"By the way, what does he look like? He's the one that keeps you obsessed with him so much that you even use the serious word 'secret love'."

"Hmm...wait a minute, let me look through my previous collection. My colleague sent it to me, and I saved it on WeChat to prevent it from expiring."

"Eh~ This is really not something you would do."

"Look! This is what he looks like! He's mixed race, very handsome and masculine. He's even better looking in person than in the photo!"

Jing Yao came over to take a look, then nodded and said, "He's indeed the type you would like. He looks quite sunny."

"After I added him on WeChat and chatted with him, I found that he had a very mysterious and unique personality, not as sunny and outgoing as he appeared on the surface."

"So do you like his appearance or his inner qualities?"

"Hmm... I like his appearance, and he's charming inside, too. But it's just him anyway! No need to dwell on it too much, just liking him is enough."

Her best friend looked at her bewildered look, sighed and shook her head, then typed away as if reporting news to someone.

"What? Are you also in an online relationship? Chatting so enthusiastically?" Ji Hanxi couldn't help but feel curious when he saw her sending WeChat messages in a hurry.

"How is that possible?" Jing Yao looked up. "I'm messaging my brother. Oh, and my brother will pick me up later and take you home."

"Okay, thank Brother Jingchen for me."

Ji Hanxi wasn't impressed with Jingyao's brother. He'd run into him a few times while doing homework at her house in high school. He was tall and aloof, giving off the air of an urban elite executive.

He seldom spoke to her, so little that it could be counted on one hand. Every time she greeted him, he would nod slightly and say "hmm".

The most memorable time was when she was doing homework at his house. Before leaving, he took the perfume on the closet and sprayed it. It was not strong, but a cool cedar scent.

After he left, Ji Hanxi leaned over to Jing Yao and whispered, "Why does your brother look so gay? He even sprayed perfume before going out?"
