Zhao Chi had originally planned to propose a bath with Liu Sitong, but to his surprise, she wanted to wash up by herself first. Considering that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, and given that it was recently Sitong's sister-in-law and her sister, albeit not blood-related but still family, Zhao Chi felt unbearable guilt in his heart. He went along with Sitong's wishes and didn't insist.
Zhao Chi obediently went to the bathroom, stripped off his clothes, and began to wash under the shower. The warm water cascaded over his body, relaxing him completely. He applied a handful of shampoo and started to wash his hair meticulously.
The "whooshing" sound of the water drowned out any noise from outside, and as the water, mixed with shampoo, slid down his cheeks, Zhao Chi closed his eyes in comfort and softly began to hum a tune.
