"Are you comforting me?" Celeste regained a little strength and stared at him.
The two of them looked into each other's eyes. Gary smiled, "Do you think you need me to comfort you like this?"
"Nope," Celeste shook her head.
Gary laughed, "You're pretty confident in me, aren't you?"
"Of course," Celeste nodded honestly, "You are a person who pursues perfection for everything and has patience. I think that I should be confident in you."
"You know me that well?" Gary looked at her in surprise.
"Not really," Celeste was frank, "I don't think I know you very well, but I will try my best to know all of you."
"I think I have a deeper understanding of you now," His words hid a deeper meaning under the surface.
Celeste was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized something. She blushed and pushed at him coquettishly, but managed she hurt herself instead.
"Owl Tsk!"
Celeste gasped in pain.
"Don't move," Gary also grew nervous, "Lay still and don't do anything rash."
"It's your fault," Celeste retorted weakly.
"Okay, it's all my fault," Gary smirked, "I'll carry you to the bath. You'll feel better."
"Don't," She immediately shook her head.
Celeste would feel shy if Gary carried her to take a bath.
She was not used to it.
"Don't you want to bathe?"
"It's not that. Just y-you can leave," Celeste said, "I can clean myself up."
Gary was stunned for a moment. He smiled after realizing something and asked, "Are you shy?"
"No, I'm not," Celeste denied it.
"So you're only acting like a little girl now. You should act like this more often so that guys will pity you more," Gary snickered.
"I'm not," Celeste corrected him. It was only a while ago that she had finally become a woman.
The person who did that to her was none other than Gary Smith.
"Oh, you reminded me," Gary smiled, "I'm already a man. Your man, in fact."
Celeste blushed even more. She quickly pulled at the blanket and covered her face.
Looking at Celeste, Gary shook his head and sighed. Girls were easily shy, so he could understand.
"You should go wash up first."
The muffled sound came from the blanket. It sounded as if she was ordering him to leave.
"Alright, I'll go bathe first and then I'll carry you to the bath," Gary had already emerged from under the blanket and was preparing to get out of bed.
"I'll take a bath myself," The muffled voice came from under the blanket again.
"Alright, alright."
Gary didn't argue with Celeste. He just got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
When the bathroom door closed, Celeste pulled down the blanket immediately and looked carefully in the direction of the bathroom.
Suddenly, Gary appeared from the corner of her eye.
Her eyes widened and she was so scared that she shrieked, "Wait, yo-you!"
After stammering for a while, she buried herself under the covers again.
She swore that she was going to get a nosebleed every time she saw him since he looked just like a Michaelangelo sculpture. His figure was toned and his abs were firm.
Her heart was beating like a drum.
Celeste blushed even more.
Gary smiled. This girl was still so easily embarrassed. She had to get used to it sooner or later.
He sighed and turned into the bathroom.
It was only after Celeste confirmed that she had heard the sound of running water that she emerged from under the covers. Her entire face was redder.
