After finishing dinner, the two returned to their hotel. Yu Ting, tired from a day of traveling, decided to take a bath first, hoping a warm soak could alleviate her fatigue.
She took a set of pure cotton pajamas and clean underwear from their suitcase in the lounge and told Lu Nanchen she was going to the bathroom.
"I'll bathe first."
After her previous experience of wearing a black slip dress without much reaction from him, Yu Ting had no great expectations from Lu Nachen at this point. She decided to relieve her fatigue with a bath before considering anything else.
Lu Nanchen sat at the table, his gaze deepening as he watched Yu Ting carrying her pinkish-white clothes past him. His grip tightened on the teaching plan in his hand.
The sound of flowing water soon echoed from the bathroom.
Even though the hotel bathroom was not fully see-through, its curtain cast a clear silhouette; a sight that Lu Nanchen could catch from the corner of his eyes while seated.
