Chapter 160 -135: They Actually Did Something Like This?

A slender neck, a delicate, girlish back… The parts of her that should have blossomed were already mature. Further down was a flat stomach without a hint of fat, a perfect, peach-shaped bottom, and a pair of long, straight legs.

Even though the frosted glass obscured the view, the mere sight of her silhouette was enough to stun Xiao Ran.

‘She looks like she walked straight out of an anime!’

Xiao Ran’s breath caught in his throat. A second later, he felt something stir again.

He licked his lips and guiltily turned away.

Even though she couldn’t see him, he felt embarrassed. After all, he was going commando.

‘This is so awkward!’

“Uh, the drying cycle has started,” Xiao Ran said, fighting his embarrassment. “The clothes will be done in about ten minutes, and then it can dry your things.”

“Got it,” the girl replied. She squeezed some shampoo into her palm, then worked her fingertips into her hair, massaging her scalp. ‘I’ve got ten minutes, anyway,’ she thought. ‘No need to rush out.’

As her fingers worked, a thick, white lather soon covered her piled-up hair.

After rinsing the foam out, the girl sighed in relief. She finally felt clean.

She lathered up with some body wash—her arms, her torso, her legs. She even made sure not to miss her feet.

‘This is a pretty nice shower.’ The water pressure was strong, and the spray felt wonderful against her skin. By now, the girl had completely accepted the fact that Xiao Ran was going to see her.

She was actually starting to enjoy her shower, and her movements were clearly no longer as reserved as they had been.

They were fluid and graceful, looking both natural and joyful.

With a BEEP, the washer-dryer stopped. The clothes were dry.

Xiao Ran leaned down and took the clothes out of the machine. He then turned to the glass door. “The clothes are dry. Are you ready?”

Yan Xici had finished washing a while ago and was just killing time. Hearing Xiao Ran, she quickly shut off the water. She picked up the towel he had used, preparing to dry herself off.

Feeling its dampness, a thrill went through her, and her chest rose and fell.

‘This is the towel he used to dry himself.’

‘And now I’m going to use it on my own body!’

‘The thought alone is so exciting!’

She swallowed hard, clutching the towel with both hands and pressing it against her chest.

…

After carefully drying herself, the girl spoke gently to Xiao Ran outside. “Xiao Ran, I’m ready. Could you pass me the clothes, please…”

After speaking, she hid behind the door, pulled it open just a crack, and stuck her hand out.

Seeing her graceful form through the gap and feeling the billow of warm, humid air, Xiao Ran found himself in a difficult spot as well.

The part of him he’d just managed to get under control was rising uncontrollably again.

‘What goes around, comes around. Now it’s my turn to suffer the same torture she went through!’

As soon as he placed the clothes in her hand, her small, fair hand WHOOSHED back inside.

Ever the gentleman, Xiao Ran turned around.

Yan Xici quickly slipped on Xiao Ran’s T-shirt. She had originally planned to put on his pants too, but seeing that the shirt was long enough to reach her thighs, she decided against it.

‘Besides, it would feel strange wearing his pants with nothing on underneath.’

‘It’s not like anyone can see, so it’s better not to wear them.’

‘I’ll just go out in a bit and use the hairdryer to dry my underwear. Once I put that on, it’ll be much better!’

Having made up her mind, the girl slowly opened the door and stepped out of the bathroom.

She was still wreathed in steam, her damp hair clinging to her shoulders. The girl’s face was flushed, her skin dewy. She was wearing his T-shirt. Because of their difference in height and build, the shirt that fit him just right looked wide and oversized on her. The collar was so loose that it revealed her delicate collarbones.

Seeing Xiao Ran staring at her, Yan Xici couldn’t help but feel a little self-conscious. After all, her lower half was feeling rather breezy.

Empty. It didn’t feel very secure.

“Um, do you have a hairdryer?” the girl asked timidly.

“Yeah, right here!” Xiao Ran said, quickly grabbing the hairdryer from a drawer and plugging it in for her.

Now that she knew there was a hairdryer, the girl wasn’t in a rush to dry her hair. Instead, she turned back to the bathroom. She had her freshly washed underwear tucked under the dress she was carrying. After a moment’s thought, she grabbed Xiao Ran’s black underwear as well.

As shy as she had been while washing them, that’s how calm she was now. Having taken that first step, the girl was now fearless.

She feigned looking elsewhere. “Do you want me to dry your underwear so you can put it on?”

Xiao Ran swallowed. “So, you washed mine too?”

‘I actually already washed them,’ he thought. But he still wanted to confirm whether she’d done it or not.

“Mhm. Do you need me to dry them for you?”

‘I’ve already washed them, what’s one more step?!’

After bravely taking that step, she felt as if her whole being had opened up. Now, she was fearless!

She had the aura of someone who’d thrown caution to the wind. ‘As long as I’m not the one who’s embarrassed, then someone else will be.’

Seeing her feigned composure, Xiao Ran grinned. “How about I dry yours for you instead?”

?

Just then, the ginger soup was ready. Xu Cheng, a bowl in each hand, had just reached the door when he overheard this exchange.

His face lit up as if he’d discovered the world’s biggest secret. *Phew!*

‘Who would’ve thought? Xiao Ran actually has a hobby like that?’

‘You can know a person’s face, but not their heart!’

‘I really underestimated him!’

The girl inside shook her head resolutely. “No, forget it. I’ll dry them for you!”

‘Letting him dry mine… the thought alone is mortifying. But if I dry his, it’s fine. After all, there’s a big difference between watching and being watched!’

“You sure?”

“Mhm!”

“Then go ahead.”

Hearing this, Xu Cheng’s heart clenched. He placed the two bowls of ginger soup by the door and tiptoed away.

‘People in the honeymoon phase are truly terrifying!’

‘They won’t even spare their own company dorm room!!!’
