In the room, Jiang Shiyu asked her, "Do you want to wash up first or should I?"
Yun quickly replied, "You go first."
Jiang Shiyu nodded, a playful smile on his face as he opened the wardrobe and took out his pajamas and underwear.
Yun happened to look at him just as he revealed a pair of black boxers. She hurriedly turned away, covering her face, her cheeks flushing bright red and feeling hot.
Jiang Shiyu bent his leg slightly, tilting his head with a casual smile before heading into the bathroom with his clothes.
Once he was inside, Yun finally lowered her hands from her face. The sound of running water reassured her enough to open the wardrobe and grab her clothes, wrapping her intimate garments inside her pajamas.
Jiang Shiyu was quick; he was done in just ten minutes. He emerged with a towel drying his hair, dressed in his pajamas while bending down to continue drying.
Yun felt her cheeks heat up again. This was the first time she had seen him after a shower—his face slightly damp, eyes downcast, Adam's apple prominent, broad shoulders tapering to a narrow waist, and the fabric of his pajamas was silk.
She quickly averted her gaze and ducked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her.
Deliberately taking her time in the shower, she hoped he would be asleep by the time she came out.
An hour later, Yun emerged with flushed cheeks from the warm water and damp hair, wearing a pink nightgown.
The large bed in the room was empty and neatly made as if no one had touched it. Confusion flickered in Yun's eyes as she moved to the living room, where only a lamp beside the sofa was still lit.
Jiang Shiyu sat on the sofa in his pajamas, focused on his laptop, with a white blanket draped over one side of the couch.
"Why are you sleeping out here?"
Hearing her voice, Jiang Shiyu shifted his attention from the screen to Yun.
The room was dimly lit; only the light from behind Yun illuminated her figure. Standing in that glow, her flushed cheeks made her look both dazed and charming.
Her hair fell softly around her shoulders, and in her pink nightgown, she appeared slender and tall. Yet there was an air of discomfort about her; she couldn't bring herself to meet his gaze.
"I'll sleep outside; you can sleep inside," he said.
Yun should have felt happy about this arrangement, but deep down, there was a sense of loss.
Yun didn't express much, her cheeks flushed as she softly said, "Oh."
"Good night, get some rest early," Jiang Shiyu said, his gaze fixed on her. Half of his face was hidden in shadow, accentuating his sharp features and excellent bone structure.
"Good night," Yun murmured.
Lying in bed, Yun stared at the dark ceiling, unable to fall asleep. She took out her phone and saw it was only eleven o'clock.
She opened Weibo and scrolled through, but there was nothing interesting to see.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun finally felt drowsy and unknowingly drifted off to sleep.
In the living room, Jiang Shiyu was reading a paper about aerospace. His eyes were starting to feel strained when he casually glanced over and noticed Yun's coat thrown over the armrest. He stood up and walked over to pick it up, grabbing a corner that happened to be near the pocket.
He felt something hard and square inside. Jiang Shiyu reached in and pulled it out, his hand pausing.
It was printed with "ultra-thin."
For the first time, a look of panic crossed Jiang Shiyu's face. He quickly stuffed the item back into the pocket and hung the coat up.
At seven in the morning, the hotel staff arrived punctually with breakfast. Jiang Shiyu was still asleep when he was awakened by a knock on the door.
He opened his bleary eyes, feeling heavy-lidded and a bit annoyed. He threw off the covers and went to open the door. The staff member smiled as they pushed the cart inside.
After setting up breakfast, they left.
Jiang Shiyu knocked on Yun's door. She had a light sleep and woke up at the sound of knocking.
"Hao Hao, are you awake?"
Yun mumbled before raising her voice slightly, "I'm awake." Her voice carried a sleepy cuteness.
Jiang Shiyu could tell she wasn't fully awake yet. "If you're still sleepy, you can rest a bit longer."
Yun stretched lazily in bed before slowly getting up.
She got out of bed and opened the door to find herself facing Jiang Shiyu's chest clad in a black silk robe. Rubbing her eyes, she said, "You go wash up first!"
Seeing her drowsy expression, Jiang Shiyu gently touched under her eyes with his fingertips. "Did you not sleep well?"
