There are a large bed chandelier and cloakroom decoration paintings. There is also a sofa projector. The sliding doors and French windows are tightly closed while the light-colored curtains are opened. The wooden structure of the balcony was empty and looked very deserted.
Such a large room was for the guests, but this was the first time anyone lived in it. Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be any spare bath supplies.
Mu Wan went into the bathroom barefoot with her things in her arms.
Mu Wan only briefly rinsed to wash away the dust on her body and tiredness. After she took a bath, she felt that her vision was clear. Wiping the wet hair with a towel, Mu Wan looked around, only to find no hairdryer.
The hair’s tips were still dripping, so Mu Wan took the towel and wiped it again. Her wet hair spread over her shoulders. Mu Wan went to get clothes to get dressed. When her eyes met with the clothes, Mu Wan breathed out the heat from her chest, and her face became hot again.
This dress was indeed worn by Liu Qianxiu because she had seen him wear it before. He wore this long white shirt and a trouser made of cotton and linen. He was very well-tailored, with a thin and tall figure.
She took his clothes in her hand and felt the delicate feeling of cotton thread in her hands. When she picked them up, she carried a little air stream, and Mu Wan smelled a light sandalwood incense.
His clothes are also like his, with the smell of cold and abstinence.
Mu Wan took the long shirt and slipped it in from below like a T-shirt. This long shirt fits Liu Qianxiu well, but Mu Wan wears it generously, hanging it down her thigh. The thin cloth rubbed against the skin. She felt cold and rough. Mu Wan was wrapped in sandalwood, and as if touching something, she became uncontrollably hot.
Mu Wan rolled up her sleeves, feeling that she was too rascal. After patting her face, she hurriedly went out.
The bathroom was much hotter than outside. When Mu Wan went out, the air blew, so her skin tightened. Her ears were clean, and she heard water flowing in the kitchen.
“Liu Qianxiu.” Mu Wan called out, standing in front of the kitchen door.
She took a bath very quickly, Liu Qianxiu had just come from the cat’s room, and the things in the kitchen had not been cleaned yet. He stood in front of the refrigerator, holding two handfuls of vegetables. The vegetables are wrapped in white paper and show wet green leaves. After hearing Mu Wan’s call, Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes and looked over.
Mu Wan was wearing an oversized shirt, and she rolled up her sleeves, revealing two white arms. The shirt is very long and covers a little bit above her knee. Her lower legs are straight and slender under the knee. Her eyes were very bright, like distant mists, with a little bit of ink and sand in her eyes. Mu Wan looked at him and said, “I’ll help you.”
While speaking, she came over and picked up the vegetables from Liu Qianxiu’s hand, leaving behind a faint scent of orchid.
The vegetables had just been removed from the refrigerator, so she felt cold. Mu Wan opened the white paper, and the neatly tied little vegetables rolled out. Mu Wan turned on the faucet and put the dishes into the sink.
She is not short in height, but her figure is slim. She looked like a petite person hiding under this oversized shirt. There was plenty of sunshine outside the window, but she couldn’t dry her black hair. Only the sound of the clear water running down in the quiet kitchen.
She moved her shoulders a little, and her hair fell down. After a while, she lifted her wet hand and hair to one side with her dry wrist.
But it was futile, and soon the hair fell again.
She seemed a little anxious, pulling her hand away from the kitchen sink, and then she was about to rub it on her shirt. She seemed to remember something when she wanted to rub it up, and the action stopped abruptly. Mu Wan turned her head, looked at Liu Qianxiu, and asked, “Is there any paper towel? I want to tie my hair up because it keeps falling down. I feel uncomfortable.”
Next to the refrigerator, Liu Qianxiu looked at her calmly, moved a little, closed the refrigerator door, and walked to her side.
“Give me the rubber band.” Liu Qianxiu said.
With a glance up, Mu Wan saw Liu Qianxiu’s face, which was invariable. Her frowning eyebrows gradually unfolded, and she removed the black rubber band on her wrist and placed it in his hand. After putting it down, she was a little uncertain, but she also felt a little excited. She looked at him and asked: “Can you do it?”
She has a lot of hair. It is still thick and black even if it is not completely dry. Liu Qianxiu looked at the tip of her hair and said, “I’ll try.”
Her heartbeat gradually became disordered. Mu Wan’s lips parted, turned her head, and left the entire back to him.
His move is surprisingly neat. Mu Wan put her hands on the side of the sink and felt the cool marble spread into her palm. Mu Wan felt her hair being lifted up by Liu Qianxiu. During the movement, his fingertips touched her neck, warm and numb, and Mu Wan’s fingers curled slightly.
She was wearing his clothes, which fit the skin. Mu Wan was a little confused, lowered her head, diverted her attention, and asked, “Who did you meet for dinner at night?”
“Family,” he said in a deep voice. Under dark hair, Mu Wan’s neck is delicate and white, with a touch of pink.
“Hmm.” She let out an inexplicable voice.
Her black hair was put into the rubber band as if hooped in some circle, and then the hair trembled. Mu Wan felt the hair being tied up little by little. She looked at the sun outside the window, and her eyes dimmed gradually. It is the first time the two have met at such an early time.
“Liu Qianxiu.” The sun warmed the air, and Mu Wan’s voice was soft.
“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu replied in a low voice.
“Can I have lunch with you in the future?” Mu Wan asked.
The movement of his hand paused slightly. He pulled Mu Wan’s hair out of the last circle of the black rubber band. The action was gentle and clean, without any feeling of pulling.
Mu Wan turned her head, and the two stood face to face, one tall and one short. She looked up at him with bright eyes, waiting for an answer.
He looked back and said with his voice low.
“Depend on the time.”
“Oh.” It was still Liu Qianxiu’s indifferent expression. The tone that Mu Wan had raised deeply suddenly disappeared.
Her hair was tied up, and her small face was fully exposed when she looked up. All her thoughts were written on her face, and she could not hide them.
Liu Qianxiu’s gaze stayed on the rubber bands behind her hair and added faintly.
“Depend on your time.”
Mu Wan suddenly raised her head. When she raised her head, her breath flowed. She looked at the light-faced man before her, with sandalwood lingering on the tip of her nose. It seemed quiet and far away.
In addition to sandalwood, Mu Wan also smelled another smell. It was the scent of faint smoke that she had never smelled on him.
The author has something to say:Mu Wan: Then I’ll be staying tomorrow!
