“I’m sweating all over… it’s sticky and uncomfortable… I must wash up…” Mu Xiaoxiao, sulking, muttered. She waved his hands off impatiently and tried to duck under his arm.
Seeing that she still wanted to take a bath even when she was so confused, Yin Shaojie was speechless and grabbed her by the collar of her neck.
“Must you really wash up?” he said while looking at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. “If not, how am I supposed to sleep…?”
Yin Shaojie regarded her sternly and declared, “If you want to take a bath, you have to wake up first—who knows if you’ll fall asleep in the tub if you’re so groggy.”

Something like this had happened before. As a child, she had liked to nap while taking bubble baths. She had almost drowned in the tub—it had happened once at his place—when she fell asleep.
Thus, he didn’t dare to let her take any baths in her current state; he couldn’t bear the responsibility if anything happened to her.
He smiled creepily and rested a hand across the door frame as if he had suddenly thought of something. The door thudded onto her, and he gazed down at her half-opened eyes with his handsome face. “Say, may I be your bathing assistant?” he said, lacing his voice deliberately with a sexy huskiness.
Examining her figure, he had to admit that this girl had matured beyond his expectations within two years. Even though she was still on the short side, her curves were in all the right places, making her figure look exquisite, and she had the potential for sexiness.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes narrowed as she smiled, her elegant and refined face suddenly moving towards his until it was mere centimeters away. “Yin Shaojie, are you trying to take liberties with me?”
“Uh-huh, so what if I am?” Yin Shaojie teased her purposely. She was cuter than normal while confused, with her cuteness being likened to that of a little rabbit.
“Humph!” Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed defiantly. With a weak and languid motion, she threw her hand forward, landing as a pat on his face. “If your face hadn’t become increasingly attractive, I would have slapped you already.”
With narrowed eyes, Yin Shaojie said mockingly, “What? You’ve only just noticed my good looks? Be careful — you might fall in love with me.”
“Get out.” Mu Xiaoxiao was annoyed by the look of pride on his face. Pushing it away, she said, “I’m going in to wash up…”
She was much more awake compared to before.
Sticking out two fingers, he waved it in front of her and asked, “How many fingers?”
“Two! You idiot! I’m awake!” Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes flashed. This time, her eyes opened fully, and she shoved his hand away roughly.
Yin Shaojie was sure that she was awake now. Anyway, it would be weird if she was still sleepy after conducting such a lengthy conversation on her feet.
“Then, how are you going to wash up?” he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him uncomprehendingly. With an expression of “what nonsense are you talking about?” on her face, she said, “A normal wash up, what else? Relax, I won’t take a bubble bath this late. I just want to sleep after taking a shower.”
She stretched and yawned.
Yin Shaojie said seriously, “My point is, how are you going to shower if you don’t have any clothes or pajamas to change into? Are you going to wear your current clothes after?”
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment before shouting, “I have! I have! Wait, my suitcase! Where is my suitcase?”
If he had not mentioned this, she would have forgotten about her suitcase. Pushing her hair aside, she rushed to the living room to look for it.
“What suitcase? I haven’t seen any—even when I brought you over, you had nothing of that sort,” he said.
