After regaining some of her strength, Xia Xiaobing went to take a shower in the master bedroom's bathroom.
Lu Zhe spent a little more time, and after ordering takeout, he went to another bathroom to wash up.
The layout of this apartment is the same as Tang Qi's downstairs apartment, with three bathrooms, enough for two people to shower at the same time. Of course, using only one bathroom would probably be fine too, but Lu Zhe doesn't plan to unlock the new achievement so soon.
After all, being 'cooking' in the kitchen today was already quite unexpected for him.
But after showering, a problem arose. He only found a brand new bath towel, but no hair dryer. No matter how much he dried his hair with the towel, it remained wet.
Lu Zhe, wrapped in a bath towel, came to the master bedroom door and knocked.
Then Xia Xiaobing's voice came from inside: "Please come in."
Lu Zhe pushed open the door and saw that the mature woman had already tied her hair up in a neat ponytail and changed into a tracksuit with shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. If it weren't for the slippers she was wearing, she really would have looked like she was going to run a couple of laps at the stadium.
Xia Xiaobing, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, stood up when she saw him come in and asked, "Has the takeout arrived yet?"
Lu Zhe shook his head: "There are about ten minutes left... I'm coming over now, mainly to pick up the hair dryer."
Xia Xiaobing glanced at the hairdryer on the bedside table, slapped her thigh, and said, "Oh right, there's only one in this room. We should buy another one for you."
Lu Zhe smiled, walked to the bedside and was about to reach for it when he saw Xia Xiaobing grab the hair dryer first.
Xia Xiaobing's smile seemed to carry a deeper meaning: "Just sit here and don't move, I'll blow it for you."
Lu Zhe: "Uh, it's just a proper hair blow-drying..."
As he said this, Lu Zhe sat down on the edge of the bed. Xia Xiaobing sat cross-legged behind him and turned on the hairdryer.
Amidst the whirring of the machine, the mature woman's voice, tinged with amusement, rang out again: "Of course, but after your hair is dried, I'll show you some things."
"What is that?"
The question had barely left his mouth when he felt a slender hand gently caressing his hair. In the warm air, the dampness from the ends to the roots gradually disappeared, but what truly captured his attention was the sensation of that hand's tender touch.
Xia Xiaobing chuckled, "You'll know soon enough, just wait a little while. Luckily, your hair isn't very long, it'll dry quickly."
Lu Zhe: "For girls like you with long hair, isn't it much more troublesome to blow-dry your hair?"
Xia Xiaobing: "Yes, that's why I always had short hair when I was in school."
Lu Zhe: "Then why now..."
Xia Xiaobing seemed to have already guessed what he wanted to ask, and said as soon as he opened his mouth, "Because you like long hair."
Lu Zhe immediately shut his mouth.
After a few seconds, Xia Xiaobing smiled and said, "Just kidding. I've only been back in the world for a month or two, not enough time to grow my hair long. But to be honest, I've forgotten why I wanted to grow my hair long. For this body, it was only a year or two ago, but in my memory, it was ten years ago, so of course I don't remember it very clearly."
Lu Zhe: "Is there a big difference between short hair and long hair?"
Xia Xiaobing: "It's a bit different. On the one hand, it's more troublesome to tidy up and take care of myself, but on the other hand... it also makes me more confident in my own image."
Lu Zhe: "With your image, do you really need confidence? You shouldn't lack sycophants."
Xia Xiaobing: "On the contrary, I've never encountered a 'simp' in my life. Think about it, would a boy be willing to pursue a top student who is often praised by teachers and receives scholarships every semester?"
Lu Zhe: "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's mainly because your grades might make potential suitors lose confidence..."
Xia Xiaobing smiled and said, "It's even more like this when you start your own business after graduation. Tell me, which employee would dare to pursue the boss? As for business partners, I always win them over with my superior skills. I basically don't need to socialize. Even if I do, I have capable people from the marketing department."
Lu Zhe: "Now I understand..."
Xia Xiaobing suddenly turned off the hair dryer and put it aside: "Okay, your hair is almost dry, and I even styled it for you. Do you want to see it?"
"Of course we have to take a look!"
Lu Zhe went into the bathroom and examined his newly styled hair in front of the mirror. It looked similar to his usual hairstyle, except that the top of his head and his slightly shorter bangs were indeed more refined.
At this moment, Xia Xiaobing, who was outside the bathroom, said leisurely, "These are some more. I bought them for you. Try them out."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhe quickly came out and saw the paper bag on the bed. The CK and Armani logos on the paper bag were quite eye-catching.
Lu Zhe glanced at the contents of the bag: "You bought me clothes?"
Xia Xiaobing: "You've always maintained a good figure, so even though I bought it according to your size ten years from now, you can still wear it now."
Lu Zhe: "Has my figure remained unchanged for ten years?"
Xia Xiaobing raised her right hand, rubbed her fingers together gently, and smiled, "To my sense of touch... there's no difference."
Lu Zhe blushed, picked up the paper bags, and went into the bathroom.
Xia Xiaobing yelled from behind him, "Hey, we've already been completely naked, and you're still hiding behind me while you're getting dressed?"
Lu Zhe thought about it and felt that he really didn't need to be so reserved, so he turned around and simply unwrapped the bathrobe he was wearing.
Xia Xiaobing's gaze roamed over his body, from head to toe, especially his six-pack abs and the area below them, which she stared at several times.
Xia Xiaobing: "How about I invite Miss Tang and Xue Xiaodie over to eat together?"
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhe froze completely.
The mature woman's beautiful eyes sparkled, and her gaze seemed to indicate that she was genuinely considering the feasibility of this plan.
Lu Zhe forced a smile: "What a joke, how could that be?"
Xia Xiaobing shrugged: "Just kidding."
Seeing that she didn't intend to continue discussing this issue, Lu Zhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt that Xia Xiaobing was definitely testing him just now, so he absolutely could not show the slightest flaw.
Lu Zhe kept his eyes down and his mind focused, first putting on a pair of CK boxer briefs.
At this moment, Xia Xiaobing said again, "You don't like briefs, right?"
Lu Zhe also smiled: "You understand me best."
Xia Xiaobing smiled and blinked: "Of course I understand you."
