Chapter 78 "QQ" Underwear
Before Qu He could even process what was happening, her hand instinctively ended the video call.
She tossed her phone aside, but the video footage she had just seen kept replaying in her mind.
Water droplets traced across his chest muscles... abs... thigh muscles... and below that, he was wrapped in a bath towel...
Wow...wow...what a beautiful and vibrant picture of a handsome man emerging from a bath!
Qu He covered her face and shook her head, trying to shake off those "unhealthy" images from her mind.
She touched her burning face and ran to the bathroom to wash it with cold water.
I took a few deep breaths in front of the mirror.
Cheer up, Qu He!
This is nothing.
Anyway, you've already seen everything you should and shouldn't have seen. You were just too surprised to react just now!
Yes, that's it!
If given another chance, she would never do that.
Whether it was because God heard her words or to respond to her self-comfort, her phone rang again, this time with a video call invitation from Zhuang Bieyan.
Qu He took a deep breath, picked up her phone, walked back to the bedside, and calmly pressed the answer button.
As soon as the video call connected, Zhuang Bieyan's deep chuckle came from the other end, "Why did you suddenly hang up?"
This time the video angle was much more normal, and he was wearing a black bathrobe, so it wasn't as "revealing" as before.
However, the bathrobe's ties were loosely tied, and the open neckline revealed glimpses of the abdominal muscles, which, while not as pronounced as before, exuded a more alluring, coy charm.
He must have just taken a shower; his hair wasn't completely dry yet, with a few wet strands still hanging on his forehead. He looked refreshed, but also... incredibly sexy.
Qu He's eyes darted around for a moment, then she started to lie through her teeth and make excuses: "Just now... the hotel's network was a bit bad, and it accidentally cut out."
Zhuang Bieyan's smile deepened, but he didn't expose her excuse.
Qu He felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, and tried to make conversation: "You... why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Zhuang Bieyan raised an eyebrow and glanced down.
Qu He quickly corrected herself: "No! I meant, why are you wearing a bathrobe at home?"
Zhuang Bieyan said casually, "My pajamas haven't dried yet after washing."
"oh...."
"I just saw your message. I didn't want to keep you waiting too long, so I didn't have time to put it on."
"....oh."
Qu He felt the temperature of her cheeks starting to get out of control again.
Just then, the video feed on his end seemed to shake slightly, and Zhuang Bieyan adjusted the angle of his phone.
This subtle movement caused his already loose bathrobe collar to open even wider, revealing his abs and V-line to Qu He's eyes without warning.
Her mind went completely blank.
After adjusting the image, Zhuang Bieyan brought the phone closer.
His amber eyes seemed to possess a captivating magic, able to penetrate the screen and see straight into the depths of one's heart.
Qu He's heart raced involuntarily. She tried to look away, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the exposed skin beneath her open bathrobe.
Her throat felt a little dry. "You...why don't you tie your bathrobe first?"
Zhuang Bieyan deliberately raised an eyebrow, puzzled: "Hmm?"
Qu He forced herself to speak, and said in a serious but nonsensical tone, "I...I was afraid you'd catch a cold! Yes, catch a cold!"
She tried her best to make her words sound righteous, but her flushed ears betrayed her.
On the other side of the screen, Zhuang Bieyan watched her trying to appear calm despite being incredibly shy, and secretly smiled.
He stopped teasing her, raised his hand, and slowly retied the belt of his bathrobe.
However, Qu He overestimated her composure.
Although his abs were hidden, Zhuang Bieyan's face was still there! His inherent ascetic aura was impossible to conceal.
Qu He felt that Zhuang Bieyan was like some kind of monster from Journey to the West, with sugar threads emanating from his body and even crawling through the screen, seducing people all the time.
She looked at him, and he stared at her.
No one spoke.
"How did the exhibition go? Did you go out and explore the surrounding area?"
Zhuang Bieyan naturally changed the subject, finally ending the awkward silence that had just passed.
Qu He nodded, "Yes, it went quite smoothly. I went to the riverbank to see the night view yesterday."
"Looks like you had a lot of fun."
Qu He smiled.
At that moment, she suddenly remembered that her "pursuit of love" had been interrupted for three days.
She quickly tried to fill in the gaps, echoing Zhuang Bieyan's earlier words, "Then...and what about you? Have you been busy with work these past few days? Have you been eating on time?"
I regretted asking her the question as soon as I asked it. It was such a straightforward question, it felt so routine and abrupt.
However, Zhuang Bieyan's face on the other side of the screen remained unchanged, only the smile in his eyes seemed to deepen.
His deep laughter, tinged with a slightly husky magnetism, came through the phone receiver: "I've been to work on time, I've been eating on time, and... I've been thinking of you on time."
The last few words were spoken very softly, like a lover's murmur.
Qu He: "!!!"
She opened her mouth involuntarily, but couldn't utter a single word; she just stared blankly at the person on the screen.
Damn it!
She was the one who took the initiative to pursue him, so why does it feel like she's the one who got flirted with now?
How pathetic! You were swayed by just a few words from him.
She was a little annoyed. Why couldn't she have come up with this level of rhetoric herself?
My internet teachers, your expertise still needs further refinement.
Qu He cleared her throat and abruptly changed the subject, "Um... are all my packages... still here?"
“They’re all there; there are three boxes,” he replied.
"Then... could you help me open it? I want to see if I should return it."
"Okay," Zhuang Bieyan readily agreed.
The video feed shook as he moved. He took his phone, walked to the living room, found a suitable spot to set it up, and then started unpacking the package.
The first two items were quickly unpacked; they were a small car accessory and a fragrance diffuser she had bought.
After Zhuang Bieyan picked it up and showed it to her, he began to open the last pink express delivery box.
The sound of a knife slicing through tape had barely reached Qu He's phone when a new message from Si Yue popped up at the top:
[Senior! I forgot to mention! Remember to secretly open that pink box package by yourself~ (evil grin.jpg)]
Seeing her mischievous grin, Qu He's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition arose within her.
She suddenly looked up at the video, and coincidentally, her eyes met Zhuang Bieyan's.
On the screen, Zhuang Bieyan was holding a light pink jumpsuit with lace trim and the fabric was so thin it was almost transparent.
Qu He was stunned.
Zhuang Bieyan seemed to be taken aback for a moment as well.
But that's not all!
He then pulled another item out of the box.
This one is even hotter, a red halter top with very little fabric, barely covering a few key areas, it can hardly be called clothing.
Qu He felt as if her head had completely exploded, and blood rushed to her head.
She wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it!
This! Is this the "secret weapon" and "ruthless method" that Si Yue was talking about?!
Passion! Fun! Underwear! ???
