"Achoo...Achoo..." Gu Qingxin sneezed twice, hurriedly climbing out of the soaking tub and reaching for the bathrobe lying nearby.
After two more sneezes, Gu Qingxin grabbed a towel to wrap around her head before leaving the bathroom. Glancing at the time on the wall, she was surprised to see that it was past midnight.
The bedroom was empty; Beiming Han still wasn't back!
Gu Qingxin wrapped herself tightly in the bath towel. Could it be that Beiming Han was still working in his study? She rubbed her somewhat itchy nose and left the bedroom.
The study was also empty. Confirming that Beiming Han wasn't there, Gu Qingxin went back to the bedroom, dried her hair, and went to bed.
Before sleeping, she wondered; it seems like she was spared today, but where did Beiming Han go so late?
The next day when Gu Qingxin woke up, Beiming Han was still not back.
After getting up and washing up, the first thing she did was to find Aunt Zhou.
