The familiar, cool pine resin wafted into my nostrils, as aloof and domineering as the other person.
Xu Zhe didn't even need to look at his face to know that it was Xu Zhengxi.
Indeed, besides Xu Zhengxi, who else would dare to hug her here?
Butler Zhou came forward to greet them:
"Young Master, Miss Zhe."
Just like before.
Xu Zhe leaned against this familiar embrace, but the sense of security he once felt was gone.
She placed her arms in front of her chest, no longer daring to wrap them around his neck as she used to.
Xu Zhengxi's steps were steady, but her breathing was somewhat disordered.
Xu Zhe thought that she had probably gained weight during this period.
We drove non-stop and soon arrived at the master bedroom.
Xu Zhe didn't dare to move or utter a sound as he was carried into the room.
Passing through the living room and bedroom, we entered the bathroom.
Xu Zhe looked around the bathroom. It had been a while since he'd been back, and surprisingly, there were now handrails and chairs installed everywhere.
Xu Zhe was placed on the bath mat in the bathtub, and she didn't dare to look at Xu Zhengxi until he squatted down and started unbuttoning his dress.
I haven't seen him for a month, and his face seems thinner.
His hairstyle and beard were still neat and presentable.
His eyes and expression were still so cold that people dared not approach him.
Xu Zhe stared for a long time until he felt a chill run down his spine, then he lowered his head in shock.
Xu Zhengxi has already helped her remove all her clothes!
I suddenly felt cold, especially in front of this person.
Xu Zhe got goosebumps.
The next second, the showerhead turned on.
The warm water enveloped my skin, and the slightly hot temperature immediately dispelled the chill.
Just like Aunt Lin took care of her, Xu Zhengxi first wet her hair, rubbed the shampoo into foam, rinsed it twice, and then applied conditioner.
Then came the cleaning and rinsing of various areas...
Xu Zhe looked like a boiled shrimp, his whole body turning red.
It wasn't that the water was too hot; it was that I was embarrassed.
This washing took a good half hour.
Xu Zhengxi dried the person with a bath towel, wrapped them up, and then carried them to the bedroom.
After settling her on the large bed, he went to the dressing room to get some clothes and helped her put them on.
Xu Zhe desperately wanted to die; she couldn't bear this man doing the most intimate things with the coldest face...
Only after his body was wrapped in dry clothes did Xu Zhe feel comfortable and somewhat at ease.
A little while later, the sound of a hairdryer came on.
Xu Zhe continued to pretend to be dead with her eyes closed, letting the warm wind blow through her long hair.
A low buzzing sound filled his ears. Feeling relaxed all over and exhausted from arguing with someone all day, Xu Zhe quickly pretended to be dead and fell asleep.
Xu Zhengxi dried her hair, put a pillow under her head, and then covered her with a blanket.
He stared at her for a long time, then finally kissed her forehead before going into the bathroom.
The sound of water was soft and gentle.
After a while, it got mixed in... (the versatile ellipsis!)
The sound of water flowing continuously from the bathroom...
......
Xu Zhe slept soundly through the night and woke up at seven in the morning.
Today, she has to commute half an hour to get to her early class. Her soul and body struggle together to get out of bed.
Xu Zhe glanced around and saw that there was no one by the bed, but there was a light drizzle in the bathroom.
She wondered, did Xu Zhengxi not take a shower last night?
Why are you taking a shower so early in the morning?
Suddenly remembering something, Xu Zhe was extremely grateful that he had slept soundly and didn't need to know how he had slept last night.
She raised the corners of her lips, guessing that he must be burning with desire but didn't want to reveal his infatuation with her, so he was holding back his feelings!
The dripping water in the bathroom is the best proof of that!
Regardless of the facts, she insisted on thinking that way to be satisfied.
Xu Zhe reached for his phone on the bedside table, wanting to see if Su Nan and Bei Xiaoyu had sent him any messages last night.
I only realized I had the wrong phone when I turned on the screen.
However, a familiar name made her lower her gaze.
Xu Zhe opened the unread messages on WeChat.
Jiang Shuning: [Did you leave so hastily last night after the family dinner to attend some important meeting?]
"Damn it!" she cursed angrily.
What a scoundrel! He was already getting along well with a man from a similar social class, why did he need her to come back?!
They even attended the family dinner together! Does this mean they're talking about marriage?!
Xu Zhe threw Xu Zhengxi's phone directly onto the bedside table, letting it fall onto the surface with a clatter.
She fell back onto the bed and continued to lie there.
Forget about 8 AM, forget about finance, let them all go to hell!
The bathroom door opened, and the soft, scraping sound of slippers dragging on the floor grew louder as it approached.
Xu Zhe remained motionless, but the hem of his shirt kept rising and falling...
All emotions—anger, sadness—urgently need an outlet.
"Why won't you let me go back to the dorm?!" Xu Zhe said, his back to him, his tone harsh.
She still sensed Xu Zhengxi's barely perceptible sigh.
"Why won't you let me go back to the dorm?!" Xu Zhe almost yelled.
Xu Zhengxi finally spoke:
"What's the point of staying in the dorm if you're disrupting your roommates' lives and getting into conflicts with classmates?!"
This was the first thing he had said to her in so long.
They didn't respond to her, didn't comfort her, only blamed her.
The unspoken question she asked was: "If there's someone else, why did you let her come back?"
