Chapter 91: Dream

Xia Yangyang knew Gu Qichen was a neat freak. He bathed morning and night; wearing the same clothes for two days was unthinkable. "I'll adjust the water for you," she said.

The hotel bathroom had a shower, so Xia Yangyang quickly set the temperature. A five-star hotel provided ample sleepwear. Gu Qichen's clothes for the next day would likely be brought by his assistant once he sobered up.

With some difficulty, she helped the slightly-awakened Gu Qichen into the bathroom. The sound of running water filled the room. Checking the time after leaving the bathroom, Xia Yangyang realized it was time to go.

Unease filled her. But Gu Qichen wasn't a child; after his bath, he'd go to bed. Presumably, nothing would happen. She decided to leave.

As she reached the door, a loud crash echoed from inside. Rushing in, she found Gu Qichen had fallen. He was fully clothed, drenched from head to toe. Instead of appearing pitiful, sitting on the floor, rubbing his forehead, he possessed a certain… charm. Xia Yangyang had never considered Gu Qichen charming before.

But there he was, like a child who'd misbehaved, a hint of a smile on his face. "Honey, I fell," he said, his tone slightly aggrieved.

Defeated, Xia Yangyang wondered what she'd do if something did happen to him in his drunken state. Sighing, she helped him up. "How could you be so careless? And why didn't you take off your clothes before bathing?"

He tugged forcefully at his shirt, failing to remove it. Like a child, he turned to her. "Can you help me?"

Feeling she'd lost, Xia Yangyang helped him unbutton his shirt. Though shy, she treated it as caring for a child. But looking up, she saw the depths of his eyes flickering like burning embers.

Before she could react, he grabbed her, pressing her against his chest. She was drenched. Water droplets rolled down her neckline. With his radiating heat, she stood stunned, pinned against the bathroom door…

At one in the morning, they were still in the bathroom. Xia Yangyang felt exhausted. Gu Qichen's stamina was astonishing. She questioned whether he was truly drunk at all—it was simply… incredible. Exhausted, she drifted off to sleep.

Xia Yangyang dreamt of soaking in a hot spring, being caressed, then laid on fluffy cotton candy. It was sweet and soft, and she moaned before falling fully asleep.
