Xiao Jin had just finished his shower as well, lazily lounging on the living room sofa with his legs crossed. He wore a black bathrobe, the collar half-open, revealing a well-sculpted chest. Under the lights, his honey-toned skin exuded an irresistible allure.
Previously, he would never have shared a room with Shen Tang, let alone showcased this "teasing" look to the flirtatious woman, always worried she might pounce on him, wishing he could wrap himself in layers like a dumpling.
But today, Xiao Jin wasn’t dressed like this on purpose; he simply hadn’t thought of it that way.
He hadn’t realized himself that his aversion to Shen Tang had faded, so he dressed more casually, just like when he was alone at home.
"That chubby girl, it’s been almost three hours, and she’s still not out?"
Xiao Jin frowned, frequently glancing towards the bathroom disapprovingly, "Took forever, what’s there to wash on that rough skin of hers, not worried she’ll scrub it off?"
Hearing no sound from inside, he felt a pang of anxiety, "Could she have drowned in the bathtub? Is she really that dumb?"
Xiao Jin quickly got up from the sofa, hurried to the bathroom door, then stopped, pacing anxiously, debating whether to push the door open and take a look.
Then, Shen Tang’s voice came from the bathroom.
"Xiao Jin, um... could you come over and get me a towel?"
The soft, pleading tone carried a hint of restlessness, and seemed a bit wronged.
Xiao Jin’s eyes flashed with realization.
She forgot to bring a towel.
Hearing her pitiful tone, he guessed she didn’t dare to ask him, hesitating for a long time before having to seek his help.
Who would have thought this chubby girl had such a shy side?
Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow, his deep golden eyes glimmering with amusement. He picked up a clean towel and walked to the bathroom door, his voice impatient, "You’re so troublesome, forgetting a towel while showering? Stupid."
Shen Tang ground her teeth in anger; this damned leopard really couldn’t speak properly. If he weren’t the only beast husband around, she wouldn’t have chosen him!
She had to feign gratitude, "Thank you, Xiao Jin!"
Xiao Jin’s heart stirred slightly as he heard her cheerful voice.
The bathroom door cautiously opened a crack.
A plump little hand poked through, looking white and smooth under the light.
Xiao Jin couldn’t help but take another glance. He remembered this chubby girl used to be as dark as charcoal, but she seemed to be getting fairer.
His eyes darkened as he handed over the towel, and just then, the door suddenly flung open, and a solid wall of flesh came crashing towards him.
Xiao Jin’s golden eyes narrowed; having battled on the battlefield for years, his reflexes and agility far exceeded Shen Tang’s, allowing him to evade instantly.
Shen Tang was dumbfounded when the man before her suddenly disappeared, "?"
She looked up in a daze, only to find Xiao Jin several meters away, arms crossed, calmly staring at her. His deep golden eyes brewed a storm, coldly gritting his teeth, "What are you trying to do now?"
"..."
What else could she be trying to do?
Of course, she just wanted to use the excuse of slipping to sneak a kiss on him.
But who knew this damned man would react so quickly? She didn’t even get a chance to touch him before he escaped, not giving her any opportunity to make a move!
This smelly leopard really was on guard against her!
"Sorry, the floor was too slippery, and I just slipped; it wasn’t on purpose." Shen Tang gritted her teeth.
Xiao Jin noted she was at least wearing a bathrobe; if she had really been a wall of bare flesh crashing over, he might have felt so disgusted he couldn’t eat for three days.
His voice was low and cold, "It better be! If you dare to pull any stunts again, I’ll throw you out to feed the wolves!"
