The sweet whisper of her name from his lips made Caihong take a silent but sharp breath. His intense gaze felt as if she was the only one that he could see in this world and no one else.
She didn't understand if she felt warm because of the heat radiating from the bathroom after his hot shower or Xiaosi's proximity that was leaning towards something more intimate.
"Mama!"
They froze. The voice of a certain dumpling snapped them out of their stupor.
Xiaosi and Caihong, both took a step back at once, their faces flushing red till their necks.
She stammered. "Y-Your towel…"
Xiaosi hastily nodded in a robotic manner. "So-sorry for pulling you in. It was an a-accident."
She quickly said, "It's okay," her sight once again fell on his chest and she immediately looked away.
"I will check what Chyou wants."
