Alas, Yan just ran back to her room. Luo Huimei came and knocked on her door while Yan acted as if she did not hear her. When Luo Huimei knocked harder, she just replied, “Mom, don’t knock anymore. I’m in the shower.” After that, she immediately took a new set of clothes and hid in the bathroom. She then started using the showerhead, so that Luo Huimei could leave after hearing the water splashing about.
Yan quickly rushed out of the bathroom after she remembered something. She went to fetch her phone from outside, returned to the bathroom, and locked the door. There was only the sound of water splashing in the bathroom—all other sounds were isolated.
While listening to the sound of water splashing, Yan switched on her phone and texted Han Qing. However, on second thought, she had just come home not long ago. Han Qing was probably driving now. She would interrupt him if she were to text or call him now. Fine; safety first.
Yan set her phone aside on the sink, then started bathing. She was unsure if Han Qing was going back to the Han Residence or his private villa from before. If he was going to his private villa, then she would not be able to estimate his arrival time. That night when she went to the place, she was confused; whereas on the way back, she was being evasive. That was why she did not even have a look at the place or notice its location.
Well, even if he has reached home, he’d probably need some time to wash up. I’m not sure how much time this will take. I’d better not rush and slowly take my shower. I’ll just text him later.
Initially, Yan was planning to shower her body only as she had washed her hair yesterday. She did not have the habit of washing it daily. Moreover, she later became busy with the restaurant, so she tried to skip out on washing her hair whenever she could. However, everything was different now since Han Qing and her were a couple. They might be seeing each other every day. Well, according to Han Qing’s attitude, it could be hard to see him every day, but… what if?
What if they met every day? It would definitely be bad if she looked like a mess. Ugh. Being in a relationship was indeed troublesome. How did she manage to not care about her image before? Thinking about this, Yan felt that she had become dirty and started to rub herself vigorously with the loofah and shower gel. Alas, she realized that the shower gel she was using was from the Johnson & Johnson brand, and the kind babies used no less. Yan secretly made up her mind to replace her bottle of shower gel.
After her shower, Yan changed into her cartoon pajamas and was brushing her teeth in front of the mirror. She looked into the mirror and saw the Donald Duck print on her clothes smiling weirdly. Immediately, she was surprised to see her reflection. Would Han Qing like her wearing these childish clothes? Previously, she did not think that she was childish even though she wore these clothes. In fact, she would purposely pick them because she thought they were cute! But what about now? Yan felt that they were an eyesore. As such, she had secretly decided to change all her pajamas.
After showering and drying her hair, Yan hugged her phone and lay on her pillow. She opened the shopping app on her phone and started looking for new shower gels and pajamas for herself. There were many types of shower gels with specially made floral and fruity fragrances. They were packed in transparent bottles with many petals in them. They looked colorful and exceptionally beautiful.
Before this, Yan bought them because they looked good and they did indeed look good when she received them. However, the fragrance was not long-lasting as the scent would disappear not long after the shower. In the end, Yan did not buy anything after looking for a while. She then browsed the perfume area. Her eyes widened when she saw a perfume called ‘After-sex Fragrance’. They actually have a fragrance like this? This completely refreshed her world view!
After browsing here and there, Yan did not find anything that suited her. She simply set aside her phone and lay down on her bed. Forget it. She might as well go shopping at a mall. At least she would be able to take a whiff of the perfume before buying it.
Time passed by quietly this way. Looking at the time, Yan was uncertain if Han Qing was done with his matters after he reached home. When she wanted to send a message to ask, the phone suddenly vibrated. Han Qing sent her a text message with only two words. ‘I’ve arrived.’
He was acting as usual while Yan looked at the time. He’s only reached now? It seems like he went back to his private villa. After all, going to the Han Residence from here would not take as long.
Yan immediately replied to his message, ‘You’ve reached? You went back to the villa?’ After typing, Yan felt she was not being implicit enough while showing she was very anxious. She deleted the text and reconstructed the message.
‘You just reached? I’ve just finished showering.’ No way, showering seems to be hinting at something else. Yan immediately deleted her text again and started rewriting. ‘You’re reached home? Is Sky there too?’ After thinking for a while, she felt that this was the most suitable reply and sent the message.
After that, she waited impatiently. She did nothing at all but waited for Han Qing’s reply during this period. Buzz! The phone vibrated and Yan immediately read the message. ‘Let’s add each other on WeChat.’
Add each other on WeChat? Yan was stunned for a few seconds and immediately logged into her WeChat account after that. When she went to check for Han Qing’s number and was ready to add him, a friend request popped up in her message. It was Han Qing. She quickly clicked ‘approve’.
Never would she have thought that one day, Han Qing would add her as a friend on WeChat. However, weren’t we texting before? Why would he suddenly want to add me on WeChat? Suddenly, a video call request popped up when Yan was wondering what topic to talk about. She almost dropped her phone out of shock and was surprised to see Han Qing sending the video call request to her.
Yan was in a daze for a moment. How could I have a video call now when I look weird lying on the bed like this? She immediately declined the video call request. She was not doing it on purpose. She felt that it was inappropriate to have the video call while wearing her cartoon pajamas and with her messy hair. Thinking about it, Yan quickly typed, ‘It’s inconvenient for me now. Can we just text?’
‘Sure,’ Han Qing replied instantly and immediately sent another message. ‘I wanted to let you take a look at Sky just now.’
Look at Sky? That was why he sent a video call request? Well, in her previous message, she did ask whether Sky was there. She never thought he would give her a video call. She actually never wanted to look at the cat, she just wanted to look at Han Qing. Although she liked cats very much, that was the cat of her crush anyway. Actually… there’s no harm in just looking right?
However, she had already declined the video call, so she could only reply, ‘You didn’t go back to the Han Residence? Have you just arrived?’
‘Yes, I’ve just arrived.’ After that, he sent a voice message to her. Yan opened the message and heard a ‘Meow’ sound.
