"You don't have to make me say it. You can go wherever you want, and I won't mind."
You Man turned her body away, too shy to look at him. It was clear that she wanted Zhou Yi to stay, but her reserved nature made it hard for her to express it.
Zhou Yi deliberately yawned and stretched, saying, "Ah, I'm feeling a bit tired and don't really want to walk anymore. Why don't you be kind and let me stay over for the night, Man?"
You Man's eyes curved into a smile, and she chuckled softly.
"Alright, then you should take a shower first."
"Should I go first?"
"Yes, follow me upstairs. I'll show you which ones are the shampoo and which ones are the body wash."
You Man led Zhou Yi upstairs.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll grab a towel and a bath towel for you."
Zhou Yi stood at the bathroom door for a while, and soon You Man returned with two pink towels.
One of the bath towels was clearly You Man's usual one, adorned with cute little pink flowers.
She said a bit embarrassedly, "There aren't any extra bath towels at home, so you'll have to use mine for now."
"Man, you have quite the girlish heart, liking pink things."
You Man pushed him inside, urging, "Hurry up and shower; it's almost 11 o'clock."
The small bathroom suddenly felt cramped with two people inside.
You Man turned on the hot water and tested the temperature before looking up at him and saying, "Try this water temperature and see if it's okay. Is it too hot?"
Steam began to fill the bathroom, dampening You Man's hair and leaving droplets on her eyelashes. Her face turned rosy from the heat, making her look even more alluring.
"Man, you look so beautiful like this."
Zhou Yi didn't hold back his praise.
You Man froze for a moment, her face turning even redder.
Mist enveloped the handsome features of the young man, making him look almost unreal, and You Man was nearly entranced.
Her eyes, filled with infatuation and admiration, also captivated Zhou Yi.
At that moment, Zhou Yi couldn't resist pressing her against the wall and kissing her. In the small bathroom, their silhouettes embraced.
The already thin air became even scarcer due to the young man's fervor, and You Man clung tightly to Zhou Yi's shoulders, her body weakly leaning against his chest.
She was kissed until her legs went weak, barely able to stand.
You Man pushed him away, gasping heavily, "Yi, I can't take it anymore."
Her heart felt like it was about to leap out, pounding strongly in her chest.
They kissed.
In the bathroom.
It was the young man who initiated the kiss.
You Man felt as if she were dreaming.
She couldn't help but reach out to touch him, and Zhou Yi held her hand against his face.
The young man smiled, looking at her swollen lips, and gently rubbed them with his finger, saying, "Man, your lips look like they've been painted with lipstick, all because of my kisses."
You Man felt like she had fallen into water, completely soaked.
Some of it was from the steam in the bathroom, and some from the sweat brought on by heat.
You Man bit her lip shyly and said, "You should shower now. I'll head out first."
Zhou Yi let her leave just like that.
While Zhou Yi was taking a shower, You Man sat in front of the vanity mirror, lost in thought.
In the mirror, her eyes glistened with affection, all because of that young man.
She couldn't help but touch her lips.
The corners of her mouth curled up.
It looked beautiful.
This was the place Zhou Yi kissed, and she liked it very much.
Thinking about it made You Man smile with delight.
At that moment, she didn't want to think about the age gap or anything else between them; she just wanted to be deeply kissed in his arms.
After a while, Zhou Yi came out wrapped in a towel, drying his hair while looking at You Man.
He said nothing, just looked at her.
"Why is Xiao Yi looking at me like that?"
"Man Jie is so beautiful, I can't get enough of looking."
"There you go again."
"What, don't you like me complimenting you?"
Zhou Yi walked over and rested his head on her shoulder, their attractive faces reflected in the mirror.
"I like it. Whatever Xiao Yi says, I like it. I'll go take a shower now. If you're tired, go ahead and sleep; no need to wait for me."
You Man started to undo her hair in front of the mirror, the loose strands falling beside Zhou Yi's hand.
He reached out and gently brushed them: "I won't sleep. I'll wait for you to finish, and then we can sleep together."
You Man chuckled softly, then took her nightgown and headed to the bathroom.
Zhou Yi lay on the bed, the sound of water from the bathroom causing his thoughts to wander.
Would something happen later?
He didn't know.
But being able to lie on the same bed with a goddess like You Man was already a cause for joy.
Being with her seemed to bring happiness even without doing anything.
Lying on the small bed, Zhou Yi gradually grew sleepy, the pillow carrying a pleasant scent, the same as You Man's.
"Xiao Yi, I'm done showering."
You Man's voice brought Zhou Yi back to alertness. He turned to look, and the woman with damp hair standing before him made his blood race.
She wore a silk V-neck nightgown, seemingly with nothing underneath, and Zhou Yi could see the faint red spots.
The heat and amazement in Zhou Yi's eyes were caught by You Man. She tossed her still-wet hair, even the curve of her raised chin was beautiful.
Zhou Yi got up and walked to her side, saying, "Where's the hairdryer? Let me dry your hair; sleeping with wet hair will give you a cold."
You Man didn't expect him to be so considerate.
She pointed to a corner of the table, where a small hairdryer sat, looking unused.
She was usually too tired, going straight to bed after showering without time to dry her hair.
As Zhou Yi dried her hair, he asked, "Man Jie, you’re so kind, not even planning to make me sleep on the floor?"
The warm breeze made You Man feel sleepy too, her half-closed eyes appearing even more alluring.
"What, you don't want to sleep on the bed, prefer the floor?"
"Of course not, being able to sleep in Man Jie's bed is a blessing of eight lifetimes."
You Man chuckled softly, "You, just know that."
"By the way, you don't snore at night, do you?"
Zhou Yi shook his head, "Don't worry, I don't."
You Man's sleep quality isn't great, and if Zhou Yi snores loudly, she might not be able to fall asleep.
"That's good."
"But I might talk in my sleep."
"No problem, I won't know once I'm asleep."
"I might even unconsciously say some sweet nothings."
"Who are they for?"
"What do you think?"
You Man deliberately lifted her chin, pretending not to know: "Well, I wouldn't know. With you looking so handsome now, I'm sure there are plenty of female classmates who like you."
Zhou Yi leaned down and affectionately kissed her ear, whispering enticingly, "They are them, and you are you. How could they possibly compare to you?"
When Zhou Yi speaks sweet words, few women can resist.
Though everyone knows a man might be speaking sweet nothings, which woman immersed in love doesn't enjoy hearing them?
Naturally, You Man was delighted to hear them.
"You, always know how to make me happy. Well, I'm happy to be coaxed by you anyway. As long as it's something you say, I'm willing to believe it."
"I'm not coaxing you, just telling the truth. You never believe me."
You Man leaned against him, her voice soft: "I believe you, just teasing you a bit. In this world, the person I trust the most is you."
"I know."
"Is your hair dry?"
Zhou Yi touched the ends of her hair and said, "Almost."
Seeing that her hair was dry, Zhou Yi unplugged the hairdryer, smoothed her hair, and then said:
"Alright, we can go to sleep now, Sister Man."
