Chapter 14 Lend me the bathroom so I can take a shower
Shen Jin wasn't familiar with Bai Yujin, so when Bai Yujin dropped him off at the eastern end, he told him to stop and planned to go back by himself, since the distance wasn't far and that was enough.
"We're not there yet?" Bai Yujin looked at him with some confusion. "Where do you live? Can't you live nearby?"
After he finished speaking, he looked around again, but he didn't see any place where people could live. Everywhere was dilapidated and dark, which looked very strange.
"We're almost there, no need to trouble you. It's getting late, you should head home soon." Shen Jin smiled at him, then opened the car door and prepared to get out.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yujin suddenly became unreasonable, closing the car door and refusing to let him out, raising his eyebrows high: "What kind of twisted logic is this? I already said I would take you back, and we're not home yet, so this doesn't count."
Shen Jin: "..."
He really couldn't understand why Young Master Bai was so enthusiastic, and for a moment he didn't know how to refuse, so he could only go with him to his dilapidated rented room.
Shen Jin didn't look at Bai Yujin's expression because he felt he could probably guess. So he opened the car door and got out, saying politely, "I live here. Thank you for bringing me back today.
Out of politeness, Shen Jin wouldn't mind inviting the other person inside, but considering the other person's status and his own dilapidated room, he remained silent.
Bai Yujin ignored his words, got out of the car in a daze, looked at the room where he lived with an incredulous look, and staggered, almost falling.
The ground was uneven, and he accidentally stepped into a dent, causing him to fall forward. Shen Jin quickly grabbed him, saying, "Be careful."
Bai Yujin, caught off guard, instinctively grabbed Shen Jin and stumbled a few steps with him. By the time he realized what was happening, he was already leaning against Shen Jin, half-embracing him around the waist and pressing him against the car.
Bai Yujin was stunned for a moment. A faint fragrance wafted over, and he quickly released Chen Jin, awkwardly looking away: "You guys won't even build a cement road here?"
“After all, it’s been a long time, and no one wants to waste that money,” Shen Jin answered truthfully. He wanted to go back to his room, but with Bai Yujin standing there, he couldn’t bring himself to leave.
"Oh..." Bai Yujin responded, his gaze drifting silently to him again. Because of the accidental tug, a large part of Shen Jin's collar was torn open, revealing his snow-white skin.
Bai Yujin shifted his gaze, rubbed his nose, and didn't look at his face again. He just mumbled, "I'm going back."
After saying that, he jumped into the car and drove off, leaving Shen Jin standing there without saying anything. Then he used his key to open the door.
The dilapidated house was quite warm, but since he lived there alone, it inevitably felt a bit lonely. After all, there was no one to talk to, which inexplicably reminded him of Yan Yu...
At this moment, Yan Yu was sitting in a car not far outside the door, his gaze inscrutable.
He glanced in the direction Bai Yujin had left, then looked at Shen Jin's dilapidated apartment. He couldn't understand what the relationship between Bai Yujin and Shen Jin was. They seemed so close, so why didn't they keep Bai Yujin here tonight?
Is she trying to play hard to get?
He felt a sudden surge of anger, which he couldn't understand himself.
"boom--"
Suddenly, a deafening clap of thunder rang out from the horizon, and lightning flashed as if right before our eyes, instantly illuminating the dark night sky. Then, a torrential downpour began, with raindrops falling like pearls from a broken string.
Looking out from inside the car, the view was gradually blurring, and the ground was full of potholes and water everywhere.
Yan Yu couldn't help but mutter a few curses under his breath, feeling that he really had nothing better to do than come here to suffer. What a mess this was!
Chen Jin gathered up the clothes that were drying on the balcony, drew the curtains, took off her clothes, and prepared to go to sleep. She had to go out to find other new jobs tomorrow.
"Bang bang bang—"
Just as he was about to lie down, there was a knock on the old iron door, which startled him. He hurriedly got out of bed, wondering who would be knocking on the door so late at night.
He remained vigilant, cautiously peeking through the peephole. When he saw Yan Yu standing in front of his door with his hair soaking wet, his breath caught in his throat, and he quickly opened the door: "Y-you-you—! What! What?!"
He stammered, almost biting his tongue, unsure whether it was from excitement or shock, but he was completely stunned by the sudden appearance of this person.
Yan Yu, of course, wouldn't tell him why he was there. His expression was somewhat complicated. He reached out and wiped the rain off his face, saying in a deep voice, "Let me take shelter from the rain first."
Shen Jin then seemed to realize what was happening and quickly nodded, "Oh! Oh! Okay!"
The sky outside was pitch black, with lightning and thunder; the weather was terrible. So he quickly grabbed Yan Yu's hand, pulled him into the room, and closed the door. He was in a daze.
Yan Yu wiped the rain off his face, even more confused about what he was doing. He glanced at the dilapidated apartment and then at Shen Jin, who was wearing pajamas and about to go to sleep. Shen Jin was staring blankly at him.
Yan Yu shook his head, not wanting to think about so many messy things, and then took a breath and said, "Let me take a shower first."
He really couldn't stand being all wet; it was so uncomfortable.
"Oh! Okay, okay." Chen Jin, unsure of what was going on with this sudden appearance, quickly ushered him into the restroom, noticing his somewhat disheveled appearance. "This...this place is a bit small..."
However, this so-called bathroom was not only small, but it also lacked a basic water heater. The other furnishings were quite ordinary. The bathtub was clean, but it looked like it had been used for a long time.
Yan Yu remembered that Shen Jin had a younger sister. Could it be that they lived in the same room and used the same things?
He glanced at Shen Jin, who hesitated for a moment before waving his hand and saying, "No, no, this is for me. My sister lives next door and has her own bathroom. These are all separate..."
Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, looking at his eager explanation, he found him strangely cute and couldn't help but pinch his fair face: "I understand."
Shen Jin was taken aback by his sudden cheek-pinching gesture. His ears inexplicably burned, and his heart raced. He could only awkwardly take two steps back and stammer, "Then... take your time using it."
