Chen Ai Yu pushed the door open. The first thing that came into sight was Mo Chang Chang peacefully sleeping on the couch. Seeing this, Ai Yu completely relaxed. The tension she had in her heart had finally been released. "Stay here, I'll go quickly get you a towel. Could you call Chanming to explain what happened to him? He stays at number 140, just 4 down mine," Ai Yu said. "Alright, what about underwear?" Liu Jun Yi replied. His dripping wet hair and shoulder leaning against the door frame made him look extra handsome.
"Are you wet to that extent?" Ai Yu asked, raising her eyebrows. Jun Yi smirked, "I don't know, I'm gonna have to check. Want to help me do it?" He didn't normally flirt, that was for sure. So hearing these words come out his own mouth made him a little shocked. Ai Yu looked down, but her slightly red cheeks could be seen. She innocently replied, "Y-You can ask Chanming to do that for you..."
The commotion had woken Chang Chang up a while ago, and after hearing their conversation, she couldn't hold her laughter. Her laugh resounded in the apartment, causing Ai Yu and Jun Yi to turn their attention to her. "Sorry, I couldn't help it. So you two had fun, I see. I'll leave first, wouldn't want to be the third wheel," Chang Chang said as she packed up her stuff. "Chang Chang... it's raining heavily outside. Even if you were to use the umbrella, you would still get a little drenched. We only walked a short distance yet my right half is completely wet," Ai Yu said, nodding her head towards the window.
Chang Chang followed her nod and looked out the window. She groaned internally and complained, "What am I supposed to do now? You only have one bedroom and one couch... unless..." Ai Yu immediately caught on and interrupted her, "No, it's either you stay at Chanming's apartment and Jun Yi stays here, or you stay here and Jun Yi stays at Chanming's apartment."
Chang Chang was definitely an Ai Yu and Jun Yi shipper , so she went for the former option. "Have fun! Just message me when you're done. After all, I can't interrupt you two~" Chang Chang childishly teased before heading for the door. Jun Yi followed suit since he needed to get clothes.
Ai Yu's face was still slightly red as she went to grab a towel and a floor mat for Jun Yi to dry his feet. She returned to Jun Yi, who had a plain white shirt and comfortable grey gym shorts in his hand. She passed him the towel to dry himself. "You go shower first. I... got to go get something first," she said with a smile. "You're not afraid I'll steal anything?" Jun Yi asked. Ai Yu laughed and replied, "Why would you steal anything from me? You're rich. You could buy anything with the snap of a finger." After she finished her sentence, she left.
Jun Yi took some time in the shower. After all, Ai Yu left him to figure out how to use the shower and figure out which were the body soaps and shampoos on his own. After he finished showering, he realised he had left the borrowed clothes on the couch when he was putting his stuff down. Luckily, Ai Yu wasn't back yet so he didn't worry much about just wondering out in his towel to grab the clothes.
Mid way to the couch, he heard footsteps and the clinking of keys. He continued what he was doing instead of returning to the bathroom to hide, though. Ai Yu opened the door and she was greeted with some eye candy. Before her was a man with beautifully toned skin with perfectly chiselled muscles. His jawline looked like it could cut you if you touched it.
"Welcome back. What did you buy?" Jun Yi greeted her, his eyes were drawn to the bag in Ai Yu's hands. She didn't answer immediately cause she was in a slight daze after seeing how perfect Jun Yi's body was. "Oh! You said something about underwear earlier and I realised that even if your underwear isn't wet, you'd still need to change, so I went to buy some. You can keep them," she said, placing the bag onto the kitchen island and taking the packaged underwear out of the bag. Along with the underwear, she bought boxers.
"Oh... thank you," Jun Yi replied, walking towards the kitchen island with the clothes draped over his shoulder. He saw the receipt on the table and picked it up without Ai Yu noticing. She had walked to the kitchen and taken a few different tea flavours out.
She held them up in her hands and asked, "What flavour would you prefer? You should drink something warm, otherwise you might still have a chance of catching a cold." Jun Yi tilted his head towards her and replied, "Chai tea. It's my favourite." Ai Yu let out a excited gasp. "It's my favourite too! After changing, just relax on the sofa. Just tell me if you need anything to warm yourself up."
Jun Yi nodded, grabbed the underwear and boxers, and headed to the bathroom to change.
When he returned to the living room, the chai tea was already placed on the coffee table. On the sofa was a blue comfy looking knitted blanket which was not there before. How could a person be this thoughtful? Jun Yi wondered to himself as he dried his wet hair with a towel and settled down on the couch.
"What are you making now?" Jun Yi asked as he took a sip of his chai tea. "A cold chai tea with whipped cream for myself~" Ai Yu sounded very playful when she said that, the excitement in her voice was very evident.
Jun Yi turned his head to look at her. She was still wearing the dress from dinner. "After you finish making the chai tea, how about you leave it in the fridge and go shower first?" He suggested. "Mmm... okay!"
Ai Yu obediently did as Jun Yi had suggested. She quickly placed the chai tea in the fridge and went to take a shower. Meanwhile, Jun Yi turned the television on and was watching an IP drama which was recently released. Suddenly, his phone beeped.
He checked his phone and realised he had received a message from an unknown number. It said "I know about your secret girlfriend, and I'm not afraid of hurting her." Attached to the message was a picture of him opening his car door for Ai Yu earlier that day when they went for dinner. He felt relieved he was currently with her.
Jun Yi's eyes darkened a few shades as he stared at the message. He sent the unknown number over to Jinhai and said, "Research who this number belongs to for me." He also sent a screenshot of it to Chanming adding, "Be careful." After which, he locked all windows in Ai Yu's apartment and checked that the door was locked. He wasn't stupid though, he knew that Ai Yu's apartment could've been tampered with even before they came back.
Just as he was trying to think of who might've done this, he heard a scream resound from the bathroom.
