Shen Huaichuan turned to face the small window. He had just taken off his shirt and chest straps in the outer room, leaving him only in a tank top inside.
With just a lift, the wound on his chest becomes immediately apparent.
Zhou Qiqi tiptoed, just about to take a closer look, when she saw Shen Huaichuan's hand reach out to his chest, but suddenly stop, and slowly walk to the shower head and turn on the switch.
The water tank contained hot water that Qin Lei had just boiled. As soon as the water was turned on, a thin layer of steam rose instantly in the bathroom. The orange-yellow light was enveloped in the steam, making it impossible to see through the glass.
Zhou Qiqi was so anxious that she clung to the windowsill and pushed the window open a crack to the left. She could finally see a little more clearly, but she couldn't spot Shen Huaichuan.

"I...I asked first!"
Caught red-handed, Zhou Qiqi stammered, unsure of what to say. With a quick glance around, she decided to play the fool, blinking her eyes with a charming and innocent expression.
Her self-righteous attitude is really cute.
Shen Huaichuan tightened his grip, bringing her rosy little ear to his lips, and whispered in a hoarse voice.
"I know you want to see it, so let's go in and have a good look~ Hmm? How about it?"
