The microphone was muted at a crucial moment, and the audience was frantically yelling in the comments section.

【Why did the sound suddenly stop? I don't want to go deaf!】

[Is there anything a VIP member can't watch?! The production team needs to install a camera in the bathroom immediately!]

[You pulled the microphone! You can't take this! I want to hear it, I want to hear it, waaaaah! [scratching ears and cheeks]]

[Xu Zhaozhao, come out here! This can't be real!]

...

In the bathroom, lingering steam still hung in the air, making Xu Zhaozhao's face flushed red.

She froze on the spot—luckily, she didn't see anything explicit; Gu Qingyan was wearing a bath towel.

Xu Zhaozhao's wrist was gripped by his large hand, and she stared at him blankly.

A stubborn drop of water trickled down his collarbone from the end of his hair, gradually disappearing into his bathrobe...

A beautiful hand reached out, and Xu Zhaozhao instinctively tried to dodge, but she couldn't move her feet and let the hand turn off her microphone.

no!

Why are you turning off your microphone?

Just as she was thinking this, the hand on her wrist exerted a little force, guiding her steps to the clothes rack.

"Xu Zhaozhao, whose pajamas are these?"

He reached out and took the pajamas, unfolding them in his hands. Xu Zhaozhao looked up at them.

The same velvet material as her clothes, a deep blue dress, featured a clearly printed image of Geraldton…

This is clearly a matching item with the one Xu Zhaozhao is wearing.

Auntie, you didn't take any of Gu Qingyan's many sets of pajamas, but instead picked this one that she had long forgotten about.

How embarrassing!

Xu Zhaozhao touched her nose a little guiltily, "Matching outfits, I got them especially for you."

She even pointed to the Rena Belle doll on her body for Gu Qingyan to see, "It's a couple with this doll I'm wearing!"

God knows, she really only bought the matching pajamas for the kids, and just stuffed the rest into the walk-in closet.

If Xu Zhaozhao had known how responsible her aunt was, she would have thrown them away immediately!

Gu Qingyan looked at her intently, as if asking: Do you think this childish pajama is my style?

Xu Zhaozhao bit her lip, "Or...or..."

They said two words over and over, but no one came to say anything more.

Xu Zhaozhao's gaze was unfocused; from the moment she looked at Gu Qingyan in the bathroom, she never did.

What a scoundrel.

Wear it or not, it's up to you. Go out naked if you dare!

Gu Qingyan glanced at the pajamas, then looked back at Xu Zhaozhao and said in a low voice, "It's not that I can't wear it."

Xu Zhaozhao's gaze finally froze.

The hand that was gripping her wrist loosened its grip, wrapped around her waist, and with a slight pull, Xu Zhaozhao pressed herself against him.

She instinctively reached out to touch him, and the blush that had just faded returned to her face in a more intense way, her palm able to feel the warmth emanating from him.

He leaned down and whispered in her ear, his breath damp with moisture, "Give me a kiss, and I'll put it on."

I haven't kissed my wife in seven days, I miss her so much...

We were already being generous by bringing him clothes, but he's pushing his luck!

Xu Zhaozhao bit her lower lip, "Wear it or not, it's up to you..."

She froze, her words caught in her throat, and she gripped his bathrobe even tighter.

She didn't feel the icy temperature; it was as if he had taken off the prayer beads, but the calluses on his large hands rubbed against her waist.

"If you don't kiss me, you'll wear a bathrobe with me."

He stepped back slightly and looked at Xu Zhaozhao.

The rising temperature tinged his words with a hint of ambiguity, "It's a dating reality show, so matching outfits are a must, right?"

Yes, yes, yes!

You're absolutely right!

Xu Zhaozhao tilted her head and closed her eyes, "Then, just for a moment..."

The next second, those large hands rose and placed on the back of her head, turning her head to face the center.

Xu Zhaozhao couldn't utter a single word. Her fingers gripped her robe tightly, she slightly tiptoed, and tilted her head back...

Bang!

Xu Zhaozhao stormed out of the bathroom and sat back down at her vanity.

You son of a bitch, Gu Qingyan!

It was a real kiss, and it lasted for twenty minutes...

Xu Zhaozhao looked up into the mirror. Her almond-shaped eyes were like freshly washed glass containers, crystal clear, with a slight redness around her eyes.

It's okay, it's just the smell.

Fortunately, there was no swelling this time, so at least he still has some conscience!

Otherwise, it would be really hard to explain.

[I couldn't hear anything even with my headphones on full blast, I thought I was deaf. I was scared half to death by Xu Zhaozhao closing the door, sob sob sob]

【Hey, Sister Zhao Zhao, you're so angry? Tell your sisters what happened, and we'll stand up for you! [heart emoji]】

[Xu Zhaozhao's eyes are red, has she been crying? Gu Qingyan, what did you do to make this young girl cry? Confess now!]

[No! My brother wouldn't have really fallen for this married woman, would he? [Crying] She's a good-for-nothing except for her looks! Our sister-in-law absolutely cannot be her!]

...

After Xu Zhaozhao calmed down, she noticed that the camera facing her was flashing red light.

That scene just now was so misleading...

Thinking it over, Xu Zhaozhao calmly raised her hand and turned on her microphone, explaining to the camera with a normal expression.

"Don't overthink it, everyone. I went to find some shower gel for Senior Gu. Nothing happened."

Xu Zhaozhao nodded in satisfaction.

Whether the audience believes it or not, she has given an explanation.

Unexpectedly, the comments in the comment section spread even faster.

【Zhaozhao, have you ever heard of the saying "There's no silver buried here"? Can you explain what it means to me? [playful]】

【Oh~ looking for shower gel~ Following the principle of helping people to the end, the beautiful and kind-hearted Sister Zhao Zhao will definitely put some on him, right? She definitely will, right?】

The car wheel from upstairs ran over my face!

[You guys are an open dating reality show, and we're open viewers. Let's be frank, if Sister Zhao Zhao manages to touch it, she absolutely has to share her experience with us!]

[If all else fails, how about we install a camera on Xu Zhaozhao? I'll never badmouth you again! We'll share the good times, but you'll have to bear the bad times yourself [heart emoji]]

...

Gu Yulin and Gu Qingyan came out of the bathroom at almost the same time.

For a moment when their eyes met, they were both startled, but quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.

Gu Qingyan held a towel in his hand, wiping his still dripping hair.

Yu Yu was also holding a towel. After looking away, she walked over to Xu Zhaozhao and handed her the towel.

"Mom, my hand still hurts a little."

Xu Zhaozhao's heart softened immediately when she saw the scars on his elbow.

She took the towel and gently dried his hair. "The wound is still healing. If it hurts, ask Mom for help. Don't bear it."

"Mmm," Yu Yu replied softly.

Their eyes met across the distance.

Gu Qingyan paused in his act of drying his hair.

The guy's smug look made Gu Qingyan doubt his blood relation with him.
