Gu Luoxin's breath hitched on his throat, his eyes widening in fluster. I–It was their turn now? How could it be so fast?! He had been so caught up in the whirlwind of Noir's unexpected apology that he forgot to prepare himself mentally for the bath they were going to take together.
Oh dear Lord in Heaven, how was he supposed to survive past this?!
He swallowed hard and gingerly turned his neck, only to be startled when he was met with Noir's emerald eyes which had been fixed on him since God-knows-when. His heart was pounding so violently that it felt as though it was going to leap out of the ribcage and he subconsciously pressed it down as though attempting to prevent it from escaping. He forced out a laugh, "I–It seems like Da Shen and Xiao Shen have finished their bath. Great God, do you… do you want to go first? It's okay, I'm not cold. I can wait—"
"You go," Noir interrupted him mid-sentence, causing his mind to turn blank.
"Huh?"
