Chapter 439: Chapter 439 What to Do When You Can’t Sleep (5)

In the bathtub, the man with his eyes closed was utterly at ease and languid.

Lu Wanwan stood beside him, rolling up her sleeves, her expression resembling someone facing a lively, wriggling fish on a chopping board that couldn’t be killed with a single smack.

However, the fish’s body was quite nice; his skin was even better than a woman’s, and his muscles were pronounced without being excessive, looking even more… across the water.

“How long do you plan to watch?”

Lu Wanwan startled, not knowing when he had opened his eyes, he was squinting at her.

“How can I… how do I start with you lying like that?” She crouched on the step, hand on the edge of the bathtub, “Maybe you could sit up, then turn around?”

“Come in.”

“It’s not that much trouble, I can just sit here.”

“Your arms aren’t long enough.” He slowly sat up, sitting in the middle of the bathtub, looking at her meaningfully, “Are you coming in or not?”

Lu Wanwan glared at him, remembering he had bailed her out of the police station that day.

She stood up, her toes just about to touch the water.

“You’re not planning to come in with your clothes on, are you?” he reminded her indifferently, glancing at her pajamas, “Don’t bring your clothes with you.”

Lu Wanwan pursed her lips, standing silently beside him for a moment.

Gu Annan turned around leisurely, saying, “The slower you move, the longer you’ll stay here.”

There was finally a reaction from the water behind him.

“Don’t look back.”

“…”

“Even if you’ve seen, don’t look back!!”

Gu Annan could tell from her voice that she was tense.

Her reaction didn’t surprise him, since she probably hadn’t had enough encounters like this to get used to the situation yet.

The hand that reached over was clearly feigning composure.

No moment of peace passed before Lu Wanwan yelled, and her hand on her back quickly retracted.

He opened his eyes, and saw a few faint streaks of red drifting over the water from beyond.

Suddenly turning around, Lu Wanwan was covering her nose with her hand, blood still dripping down.

She was on the verge of falling apart, her eyes, confused and embarrassed, pitifully looking at him.

Gu Annan looked for a moment, “You have a nosebleed?”

Lu Wanwan wished she could completely dive headfirst into the bathtub; heavens know why she was having a nosebleed at such a time?

Was it because she ate something spicy and got a heaty body, or had she soaked too long in the bathtub?

Regardless of the reason, she was now incapable of explaining.

Couldn’t she have shown some other symptoms of being heaty? This was very embarrassing for her.

“I’ve been a bit heaty recently.” Her body submerged in the water, her face covered by her hands, she deliberately avoided looking at him, her tone was unnervingly calm, “You wash by yourself, I’ll go take care of this, is there a first-aid kit here? Never mind, I’ll find it myself…”

After seeing her distress, Gu Annan put on a serious face, “You need medicine to reduce inner heat?”

To reduce inner heat…

The words were correct, but somehow they sounded a bit off when they came from his mouth.

At this point, Lu Wanwan’s mind was completely unable to think of anything else, and she just wanted to get out of there while holding her nose.

But those eyes were calmly watching her; how was she supposed to leave?

Indeed, listening to him and taking off her clothes had been a mistake.

“Actually, I didn’t have any other intentions just now,” Gu Annan spoke again, “But I didn’t expect you to lose control like this.”

Lu Wanwan could no longer bear to stay there. Ignoring whether he was looking or not, she got out of the water swiftly, grabbed a towel to cover herself, and ran out.

Finally, flustered and with her nose stuffed, she managed to dry off her body, get dressed, and quickly clean up the blood.
