For the first time, the two spent the night together in an enclosed space, and Lai Zhiyun felt somewhat shy and a bit uncomfortable.
After entering the bathroom, there were inevitable delays while brushing her teeth and washing her face.
It was a task that normally took only a few minutes, but now she lingered for more than ten minutes.
Zhou Liao didn't rush her from outside, remaining quiet. With just a curtain between them, Lai Zhiyun cocked her ear to listen, detecting no sounds of him moving.
Could he be not outside?
"Zhou Liao."
Lai Zhiyun tentatively called out.
The next second, Zhou Liao's voice came through immediately, "What's wrong? Did you forget to bring something?"
"No."
Hearing Zhou Liao's voice and assured that he was outside, Lai Zhiyun immediately felt at ease, but then, shyness surged through her heart again.
