What a shame that Gu Shaocheng didn't share her thinking!
"I can do it myself!" Chenxing wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in, "I...I will retrieve it from the bathroom by myself."
But she seemed like a little plant shaken in a storm, and it pained Gu Shaocheng to watch her.
Without allowing her to refuse, he carried her to the bathroom, not once putting her down. Holding her in front of the toilet, he gently spread her legs, allowing her to hang lifelessly from him. Ignoring the awkwardness, he softly coughed twice, trying to maintain his composure, and looked away.
"Remove it yourself."
The tone of Gu Shaocheng's voice was very soft, very faint. If you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear it at all.
The way he was holding her now resembled how an adult would hold a toddler while they pee. As much as he felt embarrassed, Chenxing was also mortified, wishing she could crawl into a crack in the ground.
