"Is it alright for me to use your shower?" Hu Lei asked after a period of silence.
She did not feel uncomfortable about bathing in a new place. After all, she had not had a permanent home for years. However, she did not know whether this king of the white castle would feel put off. It was only polite to ask.
Zhong Feng beckoned to follow him as he went up the stairs. His wide steps covered a lot of space at once and he took two steps at a time, but Hu Lei could not be bothered to run after him. She trailed behind him sadly, unwilling to disturb her body which was still recovering.
The door he opened was different from the one she had come out of earlier. When she entered, she realised that it was his bedroom. It was neat and organised, but it seemed that it was the most lived-in spot in the house.
He led her to the large bathroom which had a light soapy scent from his earlier use.
