"It's over..."

Li Baobei quickly turned off the switch, but unfortunately her upper body clothes were already almost completely soaked.

She slowly jumped out, picked up a clean white towel and started wiping herself. She looked at the cast on her foot and said, "Thank goodness! No water got on the cast."

She glanced at herself in the mirror again. She looked disheveled. Her pure white tight-fitting T-shirt was soaked through, and her light blue underwear was clearly visible underneath. Her hair was also wet.

"Big head..."

She draped a bath towel over herself, concealing her alluring curves.

Leaning on his cane, he walked to the bedside, picked up his phone, and opened He Ji's chat interface.

Besides him, she really didn't know who else to turn to for help. He Ji gave her a sense of security, and she would trust him unconditionally.

Even Li Baobei didn't know why, but she felt a sense of familiarity when she saw He Ji. Perhaps they had known each other a thousand years ago!

She typed carefully: "Manager He, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with. I don't know if that's alright."

Li Baobei stared blankly at the chat history, wondering when He Ji would reply.

Although they lived in the same house, they always felt very far apart.

He Ji was looking at the documents sent by Li Baobei when he saw the message she sent. His heart tightened, and he quickly stood up from his computer desk and walked towards the door.

thump thump thump...

While Li Baobei was still in a daze, there was a knock at the door. She immediately realized, "Who is it?"

He Ji suppressed his slightly flustered expression and said calmly, "I..."

He Ji!

"Come in." Her tone was slightly flustered; she was in a really awkward situation.

He Ji gently turned the handle and went inside. When she looked up, she saw her wet hair, which looked exceptionally smooth and silently conveyed a serene and charming beauty.

She was draped in a clean white bath towel, and she was very small.

"What's wrong?" he asked with a hint of concern. Li Baobei looked directly into his eyes and whispered, "I wanted to wash my hair, but I accidentally got my clothes wet. I don't know what to do."

Her cheeks were slightly flushed. She stood there quietly, slowly lowering her head, like a child who had made a mistake and was waiting to be criticized.

Her eyes were slightly red, her beautiful eyes like clear lake water, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly like butterfly wings, like a little deer in the forest, every glance radiating gentleness and vitality.

He Ji slowly went up to her, picked her up, and walked outside, saying softly, "I'll help you wash."

"Huh?" Li Baobei was so surprised she couldn't speak. "Isn't this too unbelievable?"

"Why do they seem like a couple?"

"But how could He Ji possibly like her? Even if a rich young master like him is occasionally attracted, it's probably just a fleeting feeling!"

She didn't want to think about it anymore and let He Ji carry her into another room.

Li Baobei looked around the room. He Ji's bedroom was obviously much more spacious than hers, but the things inside were extremely minimalist.

It's similar to a luxury suite in a five-star hotel, with all the essentials, but it lacks the warmth of home.

He placed her next to the sofa. Li Baobei was somewhat stunned by He Ji's comment that he would help her wash her hair.

When she got out of his arms, she forgot to hold onto the towel draped over her body.

Slide~

The bath towel slowly fell to the ground, exposing Li Baobei's beautiful curves to the air, and a slight chill ran up her spine.

She then realized that she was no different from He You, standing in front of her wearing only underwear.

He You's eyes gleamed with a barely perceptible light, like stars dotting the night sky, and he felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen.

He quickly withdrew the greed from his eyes and tried to bend down to pick up her bath towel. Li Baobei also hurriedly bent down to pick it up.

Their heads collided. "Ouch!" Li Baobei cried out. Because she was only standing on one foot, she felt a little unsteady and as if she was about to fall.

He instinctively hugged He Ji, who stood in front of him like a big tree. He Ji wanted to pull her back, but the soft touch that suddenly came into his waist made him panic and his legs felt a little weak.

The two fell straight onto the sofa, their soft lips touching.

Li Baobei felt a fragment of memory flood her mind, and the feeling was so familiar.

In my memory, she seemed to be wearing ancient costume, gently kissing a man. The man had long, black hair tied up high, with striking features like sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.

His tone was incredibly gentle: "We will be together forever..."

Li Baobei wanted to see the man in her memory more clearly, but unfortunately, he became increasingly blurry.

She quickly snapped out of her reverie and found herself staring directly into He Ji's eyes, woman on top of man. This position... was so embarrassing it made her want to vomit blood.

He Ji keenly noticed a hint of hesitation in Li Baobei's eyes; for a moment, she seemed to be thinking of someone else.

The heat in his lower abdomen gradually subsided, and he stood up and gently helped her up.

He picked up the bath towel and draped it over her shoulders, his eyes dimming as he turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Li Baobei lowered her head, her face burning red. "This is killing me! I feel like I'm about to get a nosebleed. What a disaster!"

He Ji's spotless handsome face loomed large before her eyes, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist pouncing on him. How embarrassing!

How could someone who has never been in a relationship remain calm in this situation?

Li Baobei felt like she was going crazy. Her mind was about to explode. He Ji's face, so close to hers, kept swirling in her mind, and she couldn't forget him.

She tried to calm herself down, but the burning sensation on her face didn't lessen at all. "Help!" she cried out inwardly, terrified that she would be so embarrassed when she saw He Ji.
