Inside, Gu Jiangnian wrapped his arms around her, his large, broad palm resting on her slender spine, slowly soothing her rapid breathing.
Jiang Muwan leaned on his shoulder, her breath coming in short gasps.
After a while, the rapid beating of her heart began to calm down.
As she settled composure returned, her cool voice rang out, "Get out."
She frowned at the person in front of her.
Apparently well fed and watered, the man who had just come back like a mad dog was now surprisingly agreeable, grunted assent, and obediently followed Jiang Muwan's wishes.
"Want a shower?" asked Gu Jiangnian, his voice gentle.
She reached out, pushing away the hand that was on her waist, intending to get down from the wash basin.
