The sound of the water couldn't drown out the growing panic in her voice.
"And what was with that line? 'Don't take too long, or I'll think you're inviting me back in!' What does that even mean?! He's doing this on purpose. He's definitely doing this to mess with me. Ugh, what am I supposed to do if he's serious next time?"
She slapped her cheeks lightly, trying to shake off the spiraling thoughts. "Calm down, Lixue. You're a grown woman. This is just a shower. Nothing's going to happen. Mo Ran is just…just…being himself."
As she stood under the water, the door handle jiggled.
"Lixue, are you alright in there?" Mo Ran's voice came from the other side.
She froze. "I-I'm fine! Why wouldn't I be fine?! Don't you dare open the door!"
"I'm not trying to open it, I'm just checking on you. You've been in there for a while."
