Amidst a wave of tension, Ye Jiajia swiftly got up from the bedside.
She could distinctly hear her own confused and accelerated heartbeat, thumping, thumping, thumping...
Not daring to look into Gu Xu's eyes, her small face was as red as a ripe tomato.
The blush spread from her cheeks all the way to her ears.
The heat was so intense, it felt like she had a fever.
She had meant to get up and fetch a towel and replacement clothes, but only realized she had forgotten to take them when she was stumbling towards the bathroom door.
When she turned around again, Gu Xu was watching her intently.
His eyes held a hint of amusement, as warm as an April breeze.
Ye Jiajia's gaze met his, they maintained eye contact for a second or two, before she quickly lowered her gaze.
Biting her lip nervously and clutching her clothes, she said, "I, I'm going to get a towel."
