But before she could think of a good explanation, she heard Qin Xianglian’s voice from inside:
“Oh, there’s nothing at all.
Why are you hiding like this, really.”
Nothing at all?
Xu Rongfei paused, walked in perplexed, and sure enough, Ning Fan was no longer in the room.
“It seems you were indeed sleeping just now, but look at this mess on the bed, you haven’t tidied up at all, really.”
As Qin Xianglian spoke, she didn’t wait for Xu Rongfei’s reaction and went straight into the bathroom.
In the bathroom, looking at the huge Jacuzzi, Qin Xianglian was again dissatisfied and popped her head out to Xu Rongfei, saying:
“Rongfei, you’re really not being nice.
You told me the bathtub wasn’t usable, yet you had already filled it for me, thanks a lot.”
After saying this, Qin Xianglian started undressing without any hesitation.
Xu Rongfei stood still, slightly dazed.
If Ning Fan wasn’t on the bed, where had he gone?
Under those circumstances, how could Ning Fan still move around so freely?
Thinking this, she suddenly heard Qin Xianglian’s voice again.
She walked into the restroom, mumbling, “I really don’t remember filling the bathtub.”
But the scene before her was indeed just so, the bathtub slowly filling with water and topped with lots of bubbles.
Yes, Xu Rongfei did enjoy bubble baths, but how did she not remember preparing for a bath?
Moreover, the appearance of the bathtub and the light steam rising clearly indicated the hot water was just prepared, what was going on?
“Rongfei, were you just about to take a bath, and then, seeing me come, you didn’t want to give up the hot water you had prepared for a nice, comfortable bath?” Qin Xianglian asked slyly.
At this moment, Qin Xianglian still completely believed Xu Rongfei’s earlier words; she thought Xu Rongfei indeed didn’t have a man hiding in the room, but because she had just filled the bathtub preparing to bathe, was reluctant to let Qin Xianglian use it.
“Um…
ah, hehe…
yes, that’s right,” Xu Rongfei said awkwardly.
Suddenly, Xu Rongfei seemed to realize something, abruptly looking towards the bathtub.
Since it was only her and Ning Fan in this room before, if the water wasn’t put in by her, it had to be Ning Fan.
Could it be that Ning Fan was still in this restroom?
With that thought, Xu Rongfei panicked, swiftly turned her head towards the side cabinet.
Her bathroom was large, equipped with a special cabinet to prevent steam from sticking to the clothes or bathrobes.
And the towels were also stored in the cabinet; she was used to preparing many sets, using new ones each time.
In this restroom, this was the only place where someone could hide.
She gulped nervously, staring at the cabinet in front of her, feeling more and more that it was possible.
And just as she was thinking this, she suddenly saw the completely undressed Qin Xianglian walking towards the cabinet.
“Ah!
What are you doing?” Xu Rongfei cried out instinctively.
Qin Xianglian, startled by Xu Rongfei’s reaction, asked in confusion, “Of course I’m getting a towel, why are you reacting so strongly?”
“Ah, no, I mean, you should hurry up and take a bath.
I’ll grab the towel for you,” Xu Rongfei said with a slight smile, her eyes squinting as she pushed Qin Xianglian toward the bathtub.
“Wow, you’re being so nice to me today.
Is it because you felt bad for not letting me use the bathtub earlier?” Qin Xianglian chuckled confidently.
“Sort of,” Xu Rongfei replied.
Once she saw Qin Xianglian step into the tub and submerge herself, she finally let out a big sigh of relief and then moved to the cabinet, careful to open it out of Qin Xianglian’s line of sight.
But…
Ning Fan was not inside!
Did I make a mistake?
Xu Rongfei wondered, realizing that if Ning Fan wasn’t in the cabinet, it meant he was no longer in the bathroom.
Strange, if he wasn’t in the bathroom, why had he turned on the water?
With these questions in mind, Xu Rongfei approached the bathtub and handed over the towel she was holding.
Just as Qin Xianglian reached out to take the towel, suddenly, a head slowly emerged from behind her in the water.
That face was unmistakably Ning Fan’s!
“Ah!” Xu Rongfei shrieked in shock, involuntarily letting out a scream.
Qin Xianglian jolted, “Wow, wow, wow, Rongfei, you’re acting so weird today.
Are you feeling unwell?”
As she said this and saw Xu Rongfei’s gaze fixed behind her, Qin Xianglian couldn’t help but turn her head to look.
But before she could turn around, she saw Xu Rongfei suddenly jump into the bathtub as well.
Ning Fan also breathed a sigh of relief at this sight.
He hadn’t wanted to come out, but he couldn’t hold it anymore.
He had only planned to hide in the water for a bit, but Qin Xianglian had gotten into the bathtub, and the two had been dawdling for so long that Ning Fan couldn’t bear it any longer.
Fortunately, when he popped his head out, Qin Xianglian happened to have her back to him; otherwise, Ning Fan would have been in big trouble, beyond redemption even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
“I still think it’s a pity.
Let’s bathe together, hehe…” Xu Rongfei said with a playful smile.
Qin Xianglian gave Xu Rongfei a weird look, “Bathing together is fine, but are you sure you want to do it wearing that sleepwear?”
“Huh?” Xu Rongfei blinked in confusion, looked down, and then realized she had jumped into the bathtub in her haste without remembering she was still in her pajamas.
Without hesitation, Xu Rongfei quickly stripped off her sleepwear and said with a giggly smile, “I was so eager to bathe; I forgot.
Today has just been so exhausting; I really needed a soak.”
“Alright, then let’s bathe together.” Qin Xianglian didn’t think much of it, despite thinking Xu Rongfei’s behavior was very odd; she just assumed Xu Rongfei was overly tired and didn’t dwell on it.
Meanwhile, in the bathtub, Ning Fan stood up slowly, his clothes completely soaked, dripping with water.
Xu Rongfei eyed Ning Fan behind Qin Xianglian, strangely concerned that Qin Xianglian might notice.
The thrill of the situation brought an unusual flush to Xu Rongfei’s cheeks.
She also wondered in her heart, had the effects of the “Joy Powder” worn off so quickly?
How come Ning Fan seemed to have completely returned to normal now?
His eyes even looked clear, except for a slight nervousness about being discovered, there was no other sign of inhibition.
Could the Joy Powder have been fake?
