In the bathroom, Qin Hezhou was brushing his teeth as if to vent his anger.

I hate myself for being so useless. How could I have run out and talk nonsense in front of her in a moment of confusion?

That's crazy.

It is obvious that now that all the misunderstandings have been clarified, it should be a perfect new beginning.

But he felt more helpless and bewildered than before.

While looking forward to a good relationship with Pei Zhiyu, he was also afraid that he would mess it up. Zhou Yanli had teased him before, saying that he could handle hundreds of millions of dollars in business, but why did he keep stumbling in love.

Qin Hezhou himself was also puzzled. It would have been fine if he had fallen once, but now he was acting stupidly in front of Pei Zhiyu almost every day.

He had lived for more than twenty years, and except for a secret crush on Pei Zhiyu in high school, he had never been attracted to anyone. Even his secret crush was such a mess, not to mention any experience in love.

I've never tried to fall in love at all.

If only love could be as easy as doing business.

How about buying some books or signing up for a class?

If you can learn how to do business, the same should be true for love...

But now Qin Mengzhi is still lying in the ICU. Alas, in the final analysis, it is still the fault of the real culprit behind the explosion.

The instigator who doesn't know how to live or die!

With a clang—

He threw the toothbrush back onto the shelf.

Because he used too much force, everything else around him started shaking and seemed about to fall down.

Qin Hezhou felt very annoyed.

It's like someone has lit an unextinguishable fire in my heart...

He suddenly turned on the faucet, filled a glass with water, and took a big gulp.

It seems like this is a way to "put out the fire".

After rinsing his mouth, he was about to spit out the water.

“Crack—”

The locked bathroom door suddenly opened.

Pei Zhiyu didn't know where she got the key from. She walked in calmly, picked up the other toothbrush that Qin Hezhou had just knocked over, squeezed toothpaste on it and put it in her mouth.

The movements throughout the process were natural, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.

A thought suddenly occurred to Qin Hezhou: How come this is like an old married couple...

He held the saliva in his mouth, unable to spit it out or swallow it. He could only puff out his cheeks to keep it in, like a hamster storing food.

Pei Zhiyu saw this scene in the mirror and couldn't help laughing.

It may be true that love makes people stupid.

She took another empty cup and handed it over, just raising it to Qin Hezhou's chin, "Here, spit it out."

“…”

She was so natural, so natural that Qin Hezhou was stuck.

If you are a couple, what should you do now?

The long-abandoned love area in his brain began to work. He thought about countermeasures for a long time, but in the end, he spit the mouthwash into the cup under Pei Zhiyu's gaze.

"There's no need for you to be so stiff." Pei Zhiyu said.

Qin Hezhou became even stiffer after hearing this. "It's okay."

"Really?" Pei Zhiyu glanced at him.

That look wasn't one of inquiry, but rather one of...

Pamper?

This was his first reaction, and he even felt a little happy in his heart, but then Pei Zhiyu's words brought him back to reality.

She asked casually, "Have you never talked about it?"

Although Qin Hezhou didn't answer, his body had already honestly given the answer. His mind wandered at the question, and his hand, reaching for the shaving foam, wobbled a few times.

Pei Zhiyu put away the water cup and toothbrush and looked at him, "Do you want me to help you?"

"W-what?"

What can I help him with? Love? Is that even possible?

He felt that his judgment and comprehension abilities were abnormal. He extended countless meanings to every word Pei Zhiyu said, and he couldn't tell which one was the correct answer.

He accidentally knocked over the bottle of shaving foam, making a noise.

Pei Zhiyu smiled and picked up the fallen bottle from the sink. He turned around and faced Qin Hezhou and said, "Let me help you shave."

The ending tone of the sentence is upturned, which also brings out a bit of playfulness.

It's like a small piece of fluff just falls on the tip of your heart, making people feel strange and weird.

I feel itchy but I can't bear to get rid of it.

The words lingered on his lips for a long time. Qin Hezhou licked his slightly dry lower lip and asked in a moist voice, "Can you use this?"

"If I don't know how, will you teach me?" Pei Zhiyu looked at him straight.

Qin Hezhou felt his lips were drier than before, but he didn't dare to lick them again.

When he first asked that question, he didn't think Pei Zhiyu would answer, or maybe when he saw her pick up the foam bottle, he had already assumed that she would use it.

Her question put Qin Hezhou into another dead end.

It seems that I should buy books and attend classes without delay. If I wait any longer, my CPU will burn out.

Although it seemed as if centuries of thinking had passed in my mind, in reality it was only a few seconds.

He suddenly made up his mind to take the shaving foam from Pei Zhiyu's hand and said firmly, "Well, I'll teach you."

Pei Zhiyu reacted quickly, dodged his hand, and refused with a smile: "No need."

"?" Qin Hezhou frowned.

He also didn't understand the answer to this question. "What do you mean by 'no need'?"

Pei Zhiyu did not answer immediately, but continued to move his hands, squeezing a proper amount of foam into his palm.

The girl's hands, which she had protected for many years, were white and smooth. After rubbing them, a faint pink color appeared on her skin. When these hands touched Qin Hezhou's face, he stood up straight and dared not move.

The temperature of the foam was very low, so cold that it made people shiver, but the palms were indeed warm. The alternation of cold and hot was just like the ice and fire in his heart.
