Just after Qin Xiulian finished speaking, her hand inadvertently touched the area covered by the quilt.
This immediately surprised and puzzled her.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Lin Ruoxi asked.
To prevent her mother from noticing anything amiss, Lin Ruoxi dimmed the lights.
Therefore, she didn't know what was wrong with her mother.
"Ruoxi, why is your bed a little..." Qin Xiulian said in confusion.
"Ah?!" Lin Ruoxi was startled, and her expression changed.
The originally calm Lin Ruoxi was immediately overwhelmed by panic.
Lin Ruoxi knew perfectly well what had happened to her bed.
Lin Ruoxi had just flown to the top of the clouds, so this was simply unavoidable.
Lin Ruoxi noticed this situation before she opened the door.
Due to time constraints, Lin Ruoxi simply wiped her face a few times with a tissue.
To avoid being discovered, she covered the marks with a blanket.
Unexpectedly, his mother touched that spot.
"How could that be, Mom? Are your hands sweaty?" Lin Ruoxi quickly said.
"Ruoxi, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"How could I not know if my hands are sweaty or not?"
"This place is so big, how come my hands are still sweating so much?"
Qin Xiulian shook her head and said irritably.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Lin Ruoxi asked in surprise as soon as she saw her mother's hand move.
"What else can we do? Of course, we'll take the blanket off."
"I need to see what's going on." Qin Xiulian frowned slightly.
Lin Ruoxi was startled again, her expression extremely flustered.
If the blanket were really removed, wouldn't what she did be exposed?
The fact that he made himself comfortable resulted in the bed getting wet was discovered by his mother.
Lin Ruoxi felt incredibly embarrassed just thinking about it; it was so awkward.
"Mom, I accidentally spilled water on the bed just now, so it's a little wet."
Lin Ruoxi quickly made up an excuse.
"Water?" Qin Xiulian looked at her daughter with some suspicion.
She touched it again, and it didn't feel like it was caused by water.
If it were just water, Qin Xiulian would definitely be able to tell the difference.
"No, this definitely wasn't water spilled on it."
Lin Ruoxi's heart was in her throat as she listened, feeling a sense of tension and unease.
"Mom, how could it not be water?"
"I just touched it, and my hand was a little slippery."
"How could this be water?" Qin Xiulian looked at her daughter with a serious expression.
"Hiss—" Lin Ruoxi immediately gasped.
Lin Ruoxi's heart was pounding, and her face and ears were flushed and burning.
This is so embarrassing.
Lin Ruoxi's brain was working at a rapid pace; she needed to come up with a way to get through this.
Otherwise, she would be utterly humiliated.
Soon, a thought flashed through Lin Ruoxi's mind, and she immediately came up with a good reason.
"Mom, I didn't explain it to you clearly just now."
"I had something broken, so I glued it back together."
"But I wasn't paying much attention, so I accidentally got glue on the bed."
"I just dripped water on it and then cleaned it up a bit."
"The water and glue have mixed together, so this is how it is."
Lin Ruoxi felt a little guilty as she explained to her mother.
"Oh, I see. No wonder my hand felt slippery."
Qin Xiulian nodded and said to her daughter, "Be more careful next time."
"Otherwise, it will easily affect your rest."
“Okay, Mom, I understand,” Lin Ruoxi replied quickly.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her mother no longer had any doubts.
However, Lin Ruoxi hadn't been able to relax for long before her nerves tightened again.
"Ruoxi, I'll lift the blanket to let some air in."
"This way, there will be air circulation, and the bed will dry faster."
Qin Xiulian said, then immediately grabbed the quilt.
"No!" Lin Ruoxi's expression changed and she immediately shouted.
However, it was too late for her to stop them; the blanket had already been pulled off.
Without the blanket to cover them, the truth was immediately revealed.
Lin Ruoxi felt extremely ashamed upon seeing this.
Lin Ruoxi's delicate face was flushed, like a ripe peach.
It makes you want to take a bite as soon as you see it.
"Ruoxi, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?"
Qin Xiulian looked at her daughter's rosy cheeks with a puzzled expression.
"Ah, this, I feel a little hot, yes, a little hot," Lin Ruoxi said guiltily.
"Mom, don't you feel hot?"
The room has the air conditioning on, so how can it be hot?
Qin Xiulian was immediately puzzled.
Just then, Qin Xiulian seemed to smell something.
"Ruoxi, can you smell something?" Qin Xiulian asked, puzzled.
Lin Ruoxi tensed up as soon as she heard that.
"No, no, Mom, I didn't smell anything."
"Are you mistaken?" Lin Ruoxi pretended not to know.
Qin Xiulian didn't speak, but her nose twitched.
She sniffed here and there, seemingly searching for the source of the scent.
Suddenly Qin Xiulian stopped and her gaze fell on a certain spot.
"It seems to be here," Qin Xiulian thought to herself.
The next second, Qin Xiulian immediately leaned her head against it.
"I knew I was right, that's the smell."
Lin Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat, and she had a feeling that she was doomed if her secret was exposed.
At this point, she didn't know what to do.
"Ruoxi, this tastes strange."
