Hearing Xia Lan's words, he felt that they made a lot of sense. Everyone has their own bathroom, and once they're done showering, they go out. If someone falls, they should fall in the hallway, not in someone else's bathroom.

"I just came here wanting to make friends with her, but she tripped me up!" Xu Mei explained.

However, her words sounded somewhat absurd to others.

"Are you crazy? Trying to be friends with someone while they're taking a shower?" The bathhouse lady had never seen anything so absurd in all her life.

“I…” Xu Mei paused.

"She doesn't want to be friends with me at all; she has her eye on my husband and wants to use me to get closer to him," Xia Lan said quietly.

"You were staring at my husband the whole time, knowing he's my man, how could you be so shameless?"

Xia Lan's words stunned everyone in the bathhouse, who looked at Xu Mei in astonishment.

"How could there be such a shameless woman who has taken a fancy to another woman's husband?"

"I was wondering earlier, she was clearly in that cubicle over there, why did she have to come over here to ask someone's name? Could it be that she's taken a fancy to someone else's husband?"

"My God, that's so shameless!"

"How could you be so indecent? The woman already said he was her husband, and you still had to ask for his name."

"Could this be considered a crime of hooliganism?"

"No, I didn't!" Xu Mei panicked and shouted at the crowd.

"What do you people know? You're just talking nonsense. I just wanted to be friends with her. If she doesn't want to, fine, but why are you slandering me?" Xu Mei glared at Xia Lan, then ignored her pain and quickly left.

Xia Lan felt much better after watching Xu Mei flee in a disheveled state.

Seeing that Xu Mei had run away, the older woman turned and left as well. Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the others turned and went back to their own cubicles to continue taking showers.

However, they hadn't forgotten what happened to Xu Mei.

Xia Lan finished her comfortable shower and came out. As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Qin Yu standing by the roadside waiting for her. For some reason, the people who had been staring at him stopped looking at him.

Although she didn't understand, Xia Lan thought this was even better, and skipped over to Qin Yu. "Brother Yu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's windy outside, why didn't you dry your hair before coming out?" Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan, whose cheeks were flushed, skin was glistening with moisture, and hair was still wet, making her look like a lotus emerging from water.

Seeing her hair damp on her shoulders, Qin Yu pursed his lips.

"I'm afraid you'll have to wait too long..." Xia Lan sensed Qin Yu's displeasure and said timidly.

"Let's go home." Qin Yudou draped his own towel over Xia Lan's head to shield her from the wind.

It's just on the next street, so going home isn't far.

As soon as they got home, Qin Yu immediately pulled Xia Lan to the bedside and made her sit down. He took the soaking wet towel, wrung it out, and then came back to carefully dry Xia Lan's hair.

This was the first time Xia Lan had ever been pampered like this; no one had ever dried her hair so carefully before…

My heart was pounding, and my cheeks were getting hotter and hotter.

Especially with Qin Yu leaning against her from behind, she could feel his gentleness and care with every movement.

His breath enveloped her, and each wipe sent shivers down her scalp. His hands felt like they were electrified; wherever they touched, it was as if she was being shocked.

Xia Lan felt like she was going crazy.

"Okay." After Qin Yu carefully dried her hair, Xia Lan immediately tucked herself into the quilt and covered her head.

Qin Yu was stunned; he really couldn't figure out what Xia Lan meant by this move.

"Did I hurt you?" Qin Yu asked worriedly, trying to pull back the blanket to check on Xia Lan.

Xia Lan clutched the blanket tightly, refusing to let Qin Yu see her current state. The more Qin Yu saw Xia Lan's reluctance, the colder his eyes became, and he pulled her forcefully.

Xia Lan, her cheeks flushed, tumbled out of the covers, biting her lip shyly. She lowered her head, avoiding Qin Yu's gaze, glancing around furtively but refusing to look at him.

His fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of his clothes, and his lips opened and closed, but no sound came out.

Like a flower ready to be picked, waiting for the picker.

Qin Yu's eyes darkened, and he reached out to domineeringly lift Xia Lan's chin, watching as Xia Lan gave him a seductive look with shy, alluring eyes.

Like a startled rabbit, it makes you want to give it a kiss.

In fact, Qin Yu did just that.

With a slight pull, he wrapped his arm around Xia Lan's waist, and Xia Lan ended up crashing into Qin Yu's arms.

His warm breath fell on her cheek, and her heart pounded wildly. A tingling sensation swept through her body like an electric current, and Qin Yu's lips landed on hers.

His passionate kisses carried a fierce intent to devour her, but the next moment they were tender and lingering, as if she were a precious treasure, and his eyes were completely tinged with desire.

After a passionate kiss, both of them were breathing heavily, gazing into each other's eyes, lost in each other's hearts.

In just a few seconds, everything spiraled out of control.

They couldn't help but move closer and kiss each other.

Xia Lan gradually lost herself in Qin Yu's enthusiasm, losing herself in the heat...

With only the final hurdle remaining, Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan, who was dazed and caught up in lust, gritted his teeth, released her, and restrained his own desires.

As soon as the heat source was gone, Xia Lan was jolted awake by the coolness, snapping her out of her lust.

Seeing how Qin Yu was restraining himself, Xia Lan almost softened and agreed to his request.

However, at the last moment, Qin Yu restrained his desire and let her go, which was a sign of his respect for her.

She couldn't let him down.

The two gradually calmed down and lay down on the bed.

Xia Lan reached out and touched Qin Yu's hand. Qin Yu was startled, but after regaining his senses, he immediately intertwined his fingers with Xia Lan's.

Neither of them spoke, simply enjoying the moment.

Qin Yu reached out and pulled Xia Lan into his arms. Xia Lan leaned against Qin Yu's chest, listening to the beating of his heartbeat, and slowly fell asleep with a smile on her face.

After Xia Lan fell asleep, Qin Yu opened his eyes.

His dark eyes, like thick ink that couldn't be dissolved, lost all their coldness when they looked at the person in his arms, becoming clear and bright, with a tenderness as warm as the ocean.

The first light of dawn shone through the crack in the door. Qin Yu opened his eyes, his cold gaze filled with vigilance as he looked around.

Looking at Xia Lan in his arms, the wariness in his eyes disappeared. He gently kissed Xia Lan, who was still fast asleep, slowly pulled his arm out, and got up to buy Xia Lan breakfast.

When Xia Lan woke up, Qin Yu had already prepared hot water for her to wash her face and breakfast for her.

"Why are you so good to me..." It would be a lie to say that Xia Lan wasn't moved. Qin Yu's kindness was never expressed in words; he simply took meticulous care of her.

It was so good that she wanted to cry.

"Don't say such silly things, you're my wife." Qin Yu gently helped Xia Lan get out of bed and handed her a towel.

"Qin Yu, are you after me for who I am or for my heart?" Xia Lan couldn't help but ask the question that had been weighing on her mind for a long time.
