Chapter 13: Chapter 013: Cannot Waste

The girl had just finished bathing, holding a large basin in her hand, which contained the clothes she had changed out of, her black and smooth hair casually draped over her shoulders.

Apparently, she couldn’t wait for it to completely dry after the wash, the tips of her hair still held a bit of dampness, scattering over her fair collarbone, shoulders, and the beautiful butterfly bones of her back, while her chest also showed some watermarks from the dripping drops…

Without the straw hat and experimental suit of the daytime, nor the face smeared with mud, the girl’s skin, freshly bathed, glowed with a natural flush, her vivacious eyes as if brimming with the clear water of a stream, her pretty lips like cherries in summer, and her whole being tender as freshly plucked scallions.

Qi Yue was not of that blatantly stunning type of beauty, just like a nameless flower on the cliff, weathered by countless snows and rains, covered in mud and scars, yet still spirited and gleaming, moving but innocently unaware…

Gu Huai probably didn’t at all expect to suddenly run into such a scene, his expression instantly froze, but in a moment, immediately turned his phone face down.

Qi Yue put down the basin, put on a long-sleeved jacket, and then immediately reached for her phone, only to realize she had forgotten to end the video call, but the screen on the other end was black.

So Qi Yue tentatively spoke up, “Uh, Gu Huai… are you asleep?”

“Gu Huai…?”

Just when Qi Yue thought Gu Huai had fallen asleep and was about to hang up disappointedly, the phone screen finally lit up, and Gu Huai’s face appeared.

Gu Huai: “I’m here.”

The man’s complexion was as ever, calm and composed, only the corners of his eyes gradually taking on a tinge of red…

From this angle, Qi Yue did not notice the blood-red of the other’s ears.

“Oh, I’m done bathing, sorry for making you wait…”

The girl in the screen had already put on her long-sleeved jacket, but her hair was still a bit wet.

“First, dry your hair,” Gu Huai spoke.

“No need, it’ll dry on its own in a bit!” Qi Yue said nonchalantly.

Gu Huai wore a smile, but his tone left no room for negotiation: “Otherwise, shall we talk tomorrow?”
