"It's getting late, let's go to sleep." With that, Lu Linchuan reached out and turned off the bedroom light.
Instantly, the bedroom was plunged into darkness.
Su Wantang noticed that the man beside her was deliberately keeping a distance from her. The two of them were almost touching the edge of the bed, and there was a large gap in the blanket covering them, making it feel somewhat empty.
"Why are you so far away from me?" A woman's soft, slightly disgruntled voice rang out in the darkness.
"I..." The man's deep, sexy voice was slightly hoarse.
"Lu Linchuan, hold me." The woman's soft voice spoke with a hint of command.
In the darkness, the man's prominent, sexy Adam's apple bobbed silently. He moved slightly toward Su Wantang, extending his long, strong arm to pull the petite woman into his embrace.
The woman's faint floral scent wafted into his nostrils and lingered around him; it smelled wonderful.
The scent, like an invisible hook, subtly entices a man's heart.
In the darkness, Su Wantang clearly noticed that Lu Linchuan's breathing had become heavy and rapid.
Su Wantang could clearly feel that the lines of the man's arms holding her were so stiff, the muscles in his arms were bulging, and even the veins were showing.
Feeling a little uncomfortable being held like this, Su Wantang shifted slightly, but her gaze inadvertently met a burning intensity.
At this moment, the man let out a muffled groan, as if he was trying his best to suppress and endure something.
Su Wantang froze on the spot, too afraid to move.
In the darkness, Su Wantang's face instantly turned bright red, burning hot, and her entire body felt hot.
"I'm going to take a shower." The man's voice was hoarse and barely audible. He then released Su Wantang, got out of bed, and quickly left the room.
After Lu Linchuan left, Su Wantang covered her burning face and realized why Lu Linchuan hadn't wanted to hug her and why he had kept such a large distance from her.
Inside the bathroom, Lu Linchuan's hand, with veins bulging, turned on the shower and set the water temperature to the coldest setting. Then, cold water gushed down.
The man took off his clothes, tilted his head back, and stood under the cold water, letting the cold water wash over his burning body again and again.
The icy water slid down the man's deep, handsome face, past his sharply defined jawline, and onto his tanned, bulging chest muscles.
The veins on the man's neck bulged. He closed his eyes, his mind replaying the woman's soft, fragrant body, the faint floral scent emanating from her, and her sweet, gentle voice...
He could no longer restrain himself from reaching his long arms down below...
The constant patter of water drowned out all other sounds coming from the bathroom.
...
Inside the bedroom, Su Wantang waited for a while, but Lu Linchuan never showed up.
Does it take him that long to take a shower?
Su Wantang didn't think much of it, and soon she fell asleep as drowsiness crept in.
An hour later, the man, wrapped in a bath towel, tiptoed into the bedroom.
At that moment, the sound of a woman's even, light breathing came from inside the bedroom.
Is she asleep?
The man untied his bath towel, changed into his pajamas, and quietly lifted the covers, lying down beside Su Wantang.
This time, he dared not touch the woman beside him. Instead, he distanced himself from her and forced himself to close his eyes. But the faint floral scent emanating from the woman beside him lingered in his nostrils and around him, constantly tempting him.
