After He Yanzhi and Guan Wenru left with the triplets, Xi Mufan and Bai Yun returned to the screening room.
The movie on the screen was reaching a climax.
Xi Mufan and Bai Yun sat side by side. Having just gone through the chaotic turmoil of the triplets recognizing their father, the atmosphere was now somewhat subtle as things quieted down.
Xi Mufan's gaze seemed to be fixed on the screen, but he was actually somewhat absent-minded. He cleared his throat, his voice sounding a little low under the movie's sound effects, "Xiaoyun, don't you think the child... is quite cute?"
"..." Bai Yun's cheeks flushed slightly; she naturally knew what he wanted to say.
She couldn't quite define her relationship with Xi Mufan.
Anyway, everyone around them knows they're together, but neither of them has mentioned getting married or registering their marriage.
Over the years, Xi Mufan would kiss her frequently...
But both of them have always adhered to their bottom line.
He suddenly said, "The child..."
Have you figured it out now?
Want to take your relationship to the next level?
But my sister told them that in a few years, there will be a return to the city.
Once they get married, it probably won't be so easy for them to return to the city.
Bai Yun pursed her lips, pretending not to understand the meaning behind his words, "My three nephews are indeed quite adorable!"
Xi Mufan turned his head to look at Bai Yun's soft profile in the light of the screen.
She's avoiding the issue again.
His hand, resting on the armrest of the seat, twitched slightly at the fingertips.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he moved tentatively and then firmly placed his hand on the cool back of Baiyun's hand that was resting on the armrest!
Bai Yun froze instantly. Turning her head, she met Xi Mufan's pitiful eyes. She sighed inwardly and shook his hand in return.
Her response made Xi Mufan's lips curl slightly, and he tightened his fingers, firmly enveloping her hand in his warm palm.
......
After watching the movie, the two went to the state-run hotel for dinner and then returned to the guesthouse.
The guesthouse they stayed at was not the same one as the one Guan Wenru and her friends stayed at.
Back inside, Baiyun felt sticky and wanted to take a shower.
But not long after she went in, she got dressed and came out to knock on Xi Mufan's door next door.
As soon as the door opened, she frowned and said, "Brother Mu Fan... um... the shower head in my room seems to be broken. There's no hot water, and I can't turn on the cold water valve... Could you please take a look at it for me?"
Xi Mufan nodded and closed the door to his room. "Okay, let me take a look."
...
Xi Mufan walked into the cramped bathroom, inspected the old valves and pipes, and tried to turn them.
Baiyun stood at the door, watched for a while, and then went inside.
Xi Mufan frowned. "The valve core might be rusted... I'll try..."
As he spoke, he exerted a little force, and with a hiss, an old connector on the water pipe suddenly came loose, and a powerful jet of cold water gushed out!
Right in front of Xi Mufan's chest!
Xi Mufan was caught off guard and was doused with cold water!
Bai Yun exclaimed, "Ah! Brother Mu Fan! Are you...are you alright?"
The cold water instantly soaked through Xi Mufan's shirt and vest, clinging tightly to his muscular chest and abs, outlining their clear contours.
He awkwardly tried to block the water spray nozzle with his hand, saying, "I'm fine, you can go out first."
Bai Yun didn't go out. Instead, she hurriedly grabbed a dry towel from the shelf next to her. After Xi Mufan stopped the water from flowing, she rushed over without thinking, "Quickly wipe yourself down! Don't catch a cold!"
She took a towel and eagerly pressed it against his soaked chest to wipe it away.
The soft touch of the towel and her warm little hands through the thin, damp fabric made Xi Mufan's body stiffen abruptly!
He looked down and saw Baiyun's face so close to his, made even more beautiful by the steam, her eyes filled with worry and focus.
Her delicate fragrance, mingled with the dampness of the air, drifted into his nostrils.
The air instantly became thick and scalding hot!
The suppressed excitement I felt while holding hands in the movie theater just now exploded like a lit fuse!
Xi Mufan's eyes suddenly turned deep and intense. He grabbed her wrist, which was wiping his chest, and said in a hoarse voice, "Stop wiping."
Bai Yun was startled by his burning hot palms and piercing gaze. Her heart pounded, and she instinctively tried to pull her hand away and back away. "I...I'll go get you some dry clothes..."
She turned to run away.
Now that things have come to this, how could Xi Mufan let her escape!
