Inside the bedroom.
Iris laid on the bed, staring at the ceiling. For the first time, the sound of water from the wall-mounted waterfall fountain failed to relax her.
'I love you.'
Jin Liwei's voice echoed in her mind.
Her breath suddenly couldn't keep up with the fast beating of her heart. Was she having a panic attack? But upon closer inspection, it didn't feel like anxiety. It felt more like…excitement?
"I need to search this up."
She was about to climb off the bed to grab her laptop from the study table when the bathroom door opened, revealing a freshly-showered Jin Liwei. He looked flushed from the hot shower. A towel was wrapped low around his hips. He was drying his wet hair with another towel.
Iris immediately forgot about her laptop. Her full attention was on Jin Liwei's long, lean and strong body which was muscled in the right places. She didn't notice that she swallowed a more than usual amount of saliva pooling inside her mouth.
