......

After finishing her meal, Su Wantang returned to her room, led by Aunt Wang.

Su Wantang instinctively felt that the strange behavior at the dinner table was related to her.

At the time, they only mentioned an engagement, without specifying who it would be... It's likely that both families looked down on her background, fearing that marrying into their family would bring them trouble...

Compared to this, Su Wantang suddenly felt that Lu Huai'an's family wasn't so bad.

The other two companies weren't even willing to put on a show of politeness.

Suddenly, Su Wantang twitched her nostrils twice, opened her luggage, took her pajamas, and went into the bathroom.

After spending several hours on the train filled with various smells, Su Wantang felt like she was going to rot, but since she was in someone else's house, she couldn't just say "I want to take a shower" as soon as she walked in, so she endured it until now.

Splash!

Turn on the shower, and the warm water washes away most of the day's fatigue.

Su Wantang finished showering half an hour later.

She had just opened the door when she felt a gust of cold wind blow in, her collar felt cool, and then a slightly awkward male voice came from behind.

"Feel sorry."

"Ah!" Su Wantang was startled and let out a short exclamation.

"Comrade Su, I'm sorry, I went into the wrong room and startled you."

From the moment he entered and saw Su Wantang, Lu Huai'an guessed that this was arranged by his grandfather.

Therefore, he did not explain that this was his room, so as not to make Su Wantang feel uncomfortable.

Su Wantang had calmed down by now. She looked at Lu Huai'an, who had turned his back to her immediately, and her displeasure at being suddenly barged into the room had dissipated considerably.

It was also her carelessness; thinking there wouldn't be any problem, she didn't lock the door.

"Um."

"You can leave now."

Her voice was soft and delicate, trembling with shock.

Lu Huai'an frowned.

Grandpa's actions were a bit too reckless.

"Um."

Lu Huai'an put his hand on the doorknob, turned it, but couldn't turn it. His brows furrowed even deeper.

"The door is locked from the outside. Get dressed first, and I'll figure out a way to fix it."

Su Wantang shifted her gaze from the doorknob and looked down at her own attire: a white spaghetti strap nightgown that reached her ankles, nothing shameful about it.

But she didn't say anything. She found a silk scarf and tied it around her neck to cover her exposed collarbone, leaving only her two slender arms exposed.

She couldn't bring herself to change clothes in front of Lu Huai'an, even though he was very gentlemanly and had his back to her.

"I'm all better now."

The beige fringed silk scarf shawl in a bohemian style matched Su Wantang's white nightgown perfectly. Her face, still flushed from the shower, made her look like an angel descended from heaven, innocent and naive.

Lu Huai'an frowned and awkwardly looked away.

He walked to the window, preparing to climb over the wall.

But as soon as he opened the window, he was met with Lu Zhentian's fierce expression: "You brat, dare you jump down?"

Lu Huai'an closed the window.

"What's wrong?" Su Wantang asked, puzzled.

They lived in single-story houses; it shouldn't have been difficult for Lu Huai'an, a soldier, to jump out.

Lu Huai'an turned around to give way, saying, "Grandpa is outside."

The next second, Su Wantang met Lu Zhentian's bright smile.

"Wantang, you'll be joining the army sooner or later. You're a couple, how can you sleep in separate rooms? You'll be sleeping in the same room sooner or later, so get used to it first."

I sleep both morning and night...

Su Wantang inexplicably felt that there was something ambiguous about these words.

She bit her lip, unsure how to respond to Lu Zhentian's words.

Suddenly, a large hand appeared in sight.

The curtains were drawn.

"Grandpa, it's getting late. We should rest now. You should rest early too."

After Lu Huai'an finished speaking, he met Su Wantang's wary gaze.

He lowered his voice and said, "I'll sleep on the floor."

Upon hearing this, Su Wantang's guard lessened considerably.

After speaking, Lu Huai'an familiarly opened the wardrobe, took out bedding, and spread it on the floor.

Looking at the neatly folded men's clothes in the wardrobe, Su Wantang belatedly realized that Lu Huai'an hadn't entered the wrong room at all.

She was the one who went into the wrong room.

The thought of being in a strange man's room, using his toiletries to shower, and wiping her body with the towel he had used made Su Wantang extremely embarrassed, and her face turned frighteningly red.

"It's hot?"

"No."

"So...is your face...okay?"

Su Wantang subconsciously touched her cheeks with both hands, feeling the burning heat on them. She quickly ran away, slipped on her slippers, got into bed, and buried her head in the blankets.

"you..."

"I'm fine."

Realizing she had spoken too hastily, Su Wantang softened her tone and said, "I'm just a little hot."

hot?

Didn't you just say it wasn't hot?

Besides, it's hot, wouldn't it be even hotter under a blanket?

After Su Wantang finished speaking, she realized that she had made a lame excuse. She wanted to explain something, but felt that it was too deliberate.

She took two deep breaths, poked her head out, and asked, "Are you done? Can you turn off the light? I'm sleepy."

"Um."

The lights were turned off, and the immediate sight disappeared, but the other senses became even more acute.
