Mint took a quick shower, turned off the bath valve, and stepped out of the transparent shower room.
After drying his body with a bath towel, his movements suddenly stopped.
Oh my gosh, she doesn't have a change of clothes!
Although the clothes I just took off have not been washed yet,... can I continue to wear them in this weather?
She frowned subconsciously, and suddenly remembered what happened to Fang Yuan before. In this weather, if you are not careful, your clothes will be soaked with sweat. How could you wear them for two days in a row?
She bet that Fang Yuan either had two identical sets of clothes that day, or they had been dry-cleaned overnight!
That hateful woman! She clearly did it on purpose!
She secretly grinded her teeth, but now was not the time to study Fang Yuan. The most important thing now was, what should she do?
I can bear with it, and I can barely wear my coat, but what about my inner clothes? Even if I wash them now, I still don’t have time to dry them!
So, what is she going to wear next? A bath towel?
Oh my gosh, she's such an idiot!
Li Rong is a little ferocious.
"Mint, have you finished washing?"
Suddenly there were two knocks on the door, and Guan Shouheng's deep and pleasant voice made her startled suddenly, and she suddenly tightened the towel on her chest.
"I'll be ready soon!" She replied quickly, but the following words were a bit difficult to say. She really didn't know how to say them.
She remembered that day when he slept in the small attic, the situation was the same as hers now, but he was a man, so he could just put a bath towel on the bottom. But now, she couldn't wrap the top around the bottom, and she couldn't wrap the bottom around.
I don’t care about the top, I can only choose one of them!
Mint bit her lip in annoyance, not knowing what to do.
Dangdang——
The bathroom door was knocked again, and Guan Shouheng's considerate voice came again, "Mint, I brought you clothes, please open the door."
Really? Great!
She was so pleasantly surprised that she quickly opened the door a crack and carefully hid herself behind the door.
His arm stretched out from the crack of the door, holding a ball of white cloth in his hand.
She quickly took it, said thank you, and quickly closed the door.
She looked down and frowned again. What he got her was actually a men's white shirt!
It's big enough, but... such a sack-like clothes is put on her body, and it's empty inside, so what's the difference between it and nothing?
"Guan Shouheng..." she called hesitantly.
"Huh?" He hasn't left yet.
"..." The words came to her lips, but she didn't know what to say. Where did she want him to find a clean set of underwear for her?
Hey, forget it, they are an old married couple anyway, and they have a son. She really can't afford to be so coy, she is a 27-year-old woman, and she is not an underage chick!
"It's okay, I'll be fine!" Her tone was soft but full of determination.
Putting aside all the shyness and discomfort, I finally put on his white shirt.
He took another deep breath before reaching out and opening the bathroom door.
Outside the bathroom, Guan Shouheng was leaning against the wall, waiting for her in a leisurely manner. The corner of his mouth slightly raised, and he said jokingly, "I thought you were asleep in there."
She looked at him expressionlessly, but her beautiful eyes were filled with anger, "I have to wash my clothes, otherwise I won't have anything to wear tomorrow. Can I use your washing machine?"
"Of course." But he doubted whether she would use it.
However, he did not dare to say this directly. He only waited quietly at the door, waiting for her help.
Sure enough, a minute later, the sound of her gritted teeth came again, "Guan Shouheng, come in!"
He walked in "obediently" and saw the woman standing next to the drum washing machine. She still looked calm, but he knew that she was angry again!
She has always been at a loss when it comes to housework. She can learn even the most difficult grammar, but can't figure out a small washing machine program. It's so cute and so funny!
However, he did not dare to laugh.
Calmly, he looked into her shining eyes.
Even when you are angry, you still remain calm, which is really interesting!
"What's the matter?" he asked pretending to be innocent.
"If it's okay, will I ask you to come in?" Her tone was choking.
Well, I am indeed angry, and a bit serious!
He looked at her face as beautiful as jade, her cheeks dyed red by the flowers of shame, her round eyes, incredibly cute.
She looked into his playful black eyes and felt even more annoyed.
This man always looked cold as hell in front of others, but in front of her, he always had the ability to annoy her!
It seems that he is different in front of her...
It seems that to him, she is different...
"Guan Shouheng, help me wash my clothes!" she ordered shyly and angrily.
There was no hesitation at all, just like a princess giving orders.
She has a high and mighty attitude, even a little domineering, but in his opinion, she is very, very cute.
"Okay, no problem." He quickly pressed a few buttons to help her set the program for the automatic washing machine. The turbine rotated and the smell of washing powder wafted faintly.
"Okay, don't worry about it, it will be washed automatically in a while." He informed with a smile.
She had a cold face and did not say thank you.
She moved lightly, walked around him, walked out of the bathroom, and walked towards the kitchen.
She has a habit of drinking some water after every bath.
Guan Shouheng still stood there, his dark eyes unconsciously looking at her back, looking from top to bottom, from her wet hair, to her graceful back, to her slender waist, and finally to the exposed part of her shirt.
A pair of long legs below.
After bathing, her fair skin showed a faint pink color, which stimulated the man's eyes even more. He couldn't help but squint his black eyes, and his gaze became deeper.
At the same time, Yingting's eyebrows also wrinkled slightly. He didn't understand how she could do it. Even if she was disheveled, she could still be as elegant as a princess.
She walked step by step, her pace was light and slow, obviously she was careful to avoid being exposed, but she did not nervously grab the hem of her shirt, instead she acted as if nothing had happened, her back straight, sacred and inviolable.
"Aren't there any paper cups?" She searched the entire kitchen and dining room, but found no trace of the water dispenser, let alone disposable paper cups.
"No, I don't use that, it's not environmentally friendly enough." He walked over slowly.
She nodded understandingly and turned to look at the dining table again.
"Then can I use this?" she asked, staring at the transparent water glass on the dining table.
"The water is ready, here it is." He walked towards the coffee table in the living room.
She turned her head and saw another water cup already placed on the coffee table. It also had a transparent cup body, but the difference was that it was already eight percent full of white water.
Does he still remember her habits?
She didn't want to think too much, so she walked over silently, picked up the water glass, and took a slow sip.
The cool jade-like liquid slides into the throat.
This is... French Evian mineral water?
Although she only had one sip, she could still tell that this kind of mineral water was as familiar to her as she had been drinking it since she was a child.
But, that was once upon a time.
She hasn't had a drink for many years, and she hasn't had one since she married him.
After the divorce, even less so.
She held the cup with her fingers and tightened slightly.
What does he mean?
Since it is Evian mineral water, why not just give her a bottle to drink? Why bother pouring it into a cup?
Did he think she couldn't drink it?
By the way, cup!
She couldn't help but think of what he had been worrying about these past few days.
The pink lips also pursed tighter.
After a while, she took the initiative to bring up the topic, "You said you wanted to compensate me with a cup. Isn't that the one?"
He glanced at her and said, "Do you like this? That's fine, go ahead and use it."
Use your head!
She couldn't help but want to curse.
"This one has no lid and is inconvenient to carry. I don't want it!" She deliberately criticized it. In fact, the quality of his cup was very good and it was many times more expensive than her old water cup.
"Then what do you want?"
"You haven't bought it yet?" she asked without answering.
"I bought it, and it's in the office. But if you ask, I can buy another one to exchange for." He replied unhurriedly.
She hummed softly and said mockingly, "Wouldn't it be too wasteful? You are indeed rich!"
"It's okay. Buying a few more cups won't be a problem."
"Not bad, I have learned how to consume!" she said coolly.
He pretended not to understand her sarcasm, "Isn't making money just for spending? And it's easy for me to make money now."
"How easy is it? How much do you earn per hour?" she asked curiously.
"Are you interested?"
"Of course, world-class simultaneous interpretation must be valuable, right?"
He still shrugged indifferently, "Didn't I say last time that if you are willing to date me, I can give you all the money."
Her face, as beautiful as jade, was slightly stunned, "That was last time! And didn't I also say at that time that I don't want money."
"But you seem to be very interested in my money."
"Who said that?" She frowned and tried to deny it.
He smiled slowly, stared at her with his deep black eyes, and said unhurriedly, "Actually... you are just delaying time on purpose and don't want to go to bed so soon, right?"
She breathed heavily, feeling embarrassed that she had been seen through. Her jade-white chin was slightly raised, and she was extremely arrogant, "How can I? I'm just waiting for the washing machine to wash the clothes!"
He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't believe it.
She did not flinch and met his suspicious gaze.
He was indulgent and smiled.
She didn't know that her fierce look made her eyes sparkle, and her whole person exuded an indescribable agility that made people unable to take their eyes away.
She didn't know how beautiful and elegant she looked like this. Even though she was only wearing a white shirt that didn't fit her figure at all, her innate brilliance could not be concealed at all.
No one knows better than him how good her figure is, but her exquisite figure is not what attracts him the most, because no matter how beautiful her facial features or slim figure are, they are just appearances. He has traveled to five continents and seen
There have been so many so-called beauties, but none of them can match her temperament.
The frankness, straightforwardness, strength, competitiveness, and perseverance in her that never bow to anyone or anything are something others don't have, and they can't learn from them, and they can't forget them.
She felt numb when he looked at her. Fortunately, at this moment, the washing machine in the bathroom suddenly heard a beeping sound, indicating that the clothes were washed!
"I'll get some clothes!" She turned around quickly.
Huhu, fortunately, he didn't chase me.
After entering the bathroom, she pressed her hands on her left chest. In addition to feeling her wildly beating heart, she also felt her emotions on the verge of losing control. This feeling was so familiar, yet so strange.
A few minutes later, she took out her clothes. His washing machine was very high-end, and the clothes were basically dry after being taken out. All she needed to do was iron them.
"Iron it now, or do it tomorrow morning?" he asked in a questioning voice.
"Now!" she answered without thinking.
The low male voice chuckled, as if he was mocking her for concealing her desires.
She froze in place in annoyance, his laughter making her feel disgusted.
He came over, found the iron in the cabinet, set up the shelf, took the clothes from her hand, and laid them out.
"I can do it myself!" she said politely.
"If you get burnt, you won't have anything to wear tomorrow." He reminded her kindly, but she sounded ill-intentioned.
He was clearly laughing at her!
Damn it! She is very good at ironing clothes now! Although she still messes up occasionally, her success rate is getting higher and higher!
"Or do you want to delay going to bed again?" he asked funnyly.
She blushed and quickly denied, "How could I?"
"If not, just let it go." He tugged on his clothes and showed a harmless smile.
The beautiful face was stained with an angry color, and the white jade-like fingers slowly and reluctantly relaxed.
Guan Shouheng raised the corners of his lips in a funny way, but said nothing. He lowered his head and helped her iron clothes seriously, just like he did ten years ago.
I remember that when they first got married, she was still in school. She always paid attention to appearance, and her school uniform had to be ironed every day. But when she was at home, she had a dedicated maid to take care of her. After marrying him, she completely
She was at a loss as she had never even touched an iron before she was 17 years old.
He specially bought the most convenient garment steamer for her, but the first time she used it, she almost burned her fingers. Since then, he never let her touch the iron again because he couldn't bear to part with her as white as jade.
There are no scratches on his fingers, otherwise he will feel distressed.
Now, she seems to have learned how to iron clothes by herself, but he still doesn't feel reassured. He doesn't know how clumsy she is in this regard. It's a great miracle that she can live alone for ten years!
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, so quiet, so quiet that you could hear your own heartbeat clearly.
In the room, apart from the breathing sounds of the two people at different frequencies, there was only the slight sound of the iron from time to time.
She bit her lip silently and looked at his skillful movements, feeling very confused.
He is indeed very powerful. He can do things that usually take her half an hour to do in less than ten minutes.
"Have a look, is it okay?" He held up the clothes to show her.
"Yes." She nodded and said awkwardly, "Thank you!"
The meal has been eaten long ago, the shower has been taken, the clothes have been washed and ironed... Next, all I can do is sleep! And it's already very late. If you don't go to bed, you really don't have to sleep.
.
Mint suddenly became a little embarrassed and at a loss.
"Don't worry, as I said before, I won't mess around." Guan Shouheng promised again.
She felt guilty and argued, "Who is worried about this? I'm sorry you don't dare to do anything! I know kung fu, have you forgotten?"
Although she has been idle for ten years.
Over the years, she has barely had enough to eat, so how can she have the leisure and leisure to learn these things.
Guan Shouheng smiled brightly, and of course he had not forgotten it. On the contrary, he still remembered it very clearly.
In fact, it was on that night when she unceremoniously fought off the gangsters with her smooth movements that he began to look at her with admiration.
Before that, although he had long known that she was the princess of Gaofan Academy, there was no interaction between the two of them, and he only thought of her as a delicate lily raised in a greenhouse. Unexpectedly, she actually
It's a rose with thorns.
That night, they were chased by gangsters. He was afraid that she would be implicated by him, so he fought hard against the enemy and even got injured. But who knew that the girl he risked his life to protect turned out to be very skilled!
When she smoothly beat the little gangsters to the ground and then stepped on their "corpse" with an expressionless face, saying that I gave you a chance but you didn't want it, he almost forgot about his arms.
It hurts and I just want to clap my hands and cheer.
He has never seen such a charming girl, she is so proud that it is dizzying to see.
It was that night that his heart fell. Her stubbornness, her arrogance, her arrogance, her intelligence, her awkwardness... every expression, every smile, every move of her hand, was all...
So cute, it made his heart melt into pieces.
The bell rang at three o'clock in the morning, waking the two of them up from their respective thoughts.
Mint took the initiative again, "I'm going to bed, good night!"
After saying that, she turned around quickly, but before she had taken a few steps, she paused again, turned back in annoyance, and asked, "Excuse me, which room should I sleep in?"
"Follow me." He opened his long legs and led the way for her.
She followed him to the door of the master bedroom.
She narrowed her beautiful eyes, waiting for his explanation.
"I don't hire a maid. I usually clean the house by myself, but I've been too busy with work recently and the bedding in the guest room hasn't been made for a long time. It's not hygienic."
"Then where do you sleep?"
He paused and said, "If you agree, I will also sleep in the master bedroom..."
She glared at him angrily, and he had to change his mind, "If you don't agree, then I'll sleep in the study."
That’s pretty much it!
"Good night!" She closed the door of the master bedroom.
Guan Shouheng smiled and sighed, and left the door of the master bedroom, but did not go to the study.
He paced to the children's room.
There was no light in the room and it was very dark, but he could tell what everything in the room looked like with his eyes closed, including every bed and every toy.
He reached out and pressed the switch on the wall, the lights came on, and he closed the door again.
The light was a bit dazzling, but everything in the children's room was as usual.
Every time he looked at these, he always felt extremely heavy.
Every time he looked at these, he kept reminding himself not to forget, but to remember!
But it won't happen this time, and it won't happen again in the future.
He clenched his fist hard, took two deep breaths, and walked over slowly but firmly, his heartstrings trembling with every step he took.
Bend down under the largest children's bed, take out the folded carton, and restore the carton to its original shape according to the creases.
One, two, three, four...many, many.
He held the cardboard box, walked from bed to bed, picked up the toys inside one by one, and put them into the cardboard box one by one.
Every time you put one away, it's like putting away a piece of longing.
After putting all the toys away, he opened a small drawer and took out a screwdriver.
He squatted down and removed the crib one by one, starting from the first and smallest screw.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces, four pieces...
Every time you put one away, it's like putting away a piece of heartache.
The photo frames on the wall were also removed and put into the cardboard box.
Everything was put away, and his ten years of emotions were buried together.
To say it’s not uncomfortable is a lie. It’s impossible not to feel uncomfortable, but no matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to let it go.
Back then, she betrayed her parents and insisted on marrying him, but in the end, the marriage ended.
If it weren't for him, she wouldn't be what she is now, and she wouldn't be resented by her biological mother after losing everything.
Her family change may have been an accident or God's will, but the failure of their marriage was a man-made disaster.
Tonight, when she was so tired that she fell asleep in the car, the words she inadvertently spat out in her sleep caused a sharp pain in his tight chest, so painful that he could hardly breathe.
It was true that she owed him a child, but he owed her a whole life.
