Huo Tingxiao looked down as Mu Lan walked over barefoot, a slight frown creasing his brow. He pulled a towel over the marble countertop and then set down his razor. With both hands, he gently lifted her by her armpits and effortlessly hoisted her to sit on the towel.
"Why aren't you wearing shoes? You already suffer from painful periods; you should keep your feet warm."
Warmed by Huo Tingxiao's considerate gesture, Mu Lan couldn't help but curve her lips into a slight smile. Curling her toes, she hung her head like a schoolgirl caught in mischief, her voice soft and coquettish.
"Oh, I just forgot for a moment. How about I shave your beard for you? I've never shaved someone else's beard before."
She picked up the razor as she spoke, looking up again with eager anticipation in her eyes.
Huo Tingxiao raised an eyebrow at her statement. So, he was her first. Well, he liked being her first.
Leaning close to her, Mu Lan started to shave his beard while asking about Shen Zichu.
