CHAPTER 101 (1/2)

Open World 26

What should he do?

If he wasn’t covered with bubbles then Xie Xi could wipe himself and wait until there was water before continuing to wash.

Now… what to do with so many bubbles? Did he have to go out in such a sticky manner?

There were no movements inside for a long time and Jiang Xie swallowed dryly. “Are you covered with shower gel?”

Xie Xi helplessly let out a sound of agreement. Unspeakable images flashed through poor Jiang Xie’s adult brain. He coughed and said, “Just wait, I’ll go and bring you water.”

Xie Xi froze. Jiang Xie explained, “There are two barrels of drinking water outside. It will be enough for you to wash your body.”

Xie Xi finally reacted and hurriedly said, “This is too wasteful…”

“I don’t know when the water pipe will be fixed. How can you come out like this?”

It was slippery in the bathroom and would drive Jiang Xie crazy… oh, Xie Xi was going to catch a cold!

Xie Xi didn’t dare overestimate the efficiency of the maintenance team. This close to the new year, how could they repair it in a few hours? How could he wait for so long while feeling sticky?

“Then I will trouble Teacher…”

Jiang Xie told him, “Is it fine for me to come in?”

Xie Xi’s eyes widened with panic. “Why do you need to come in?’

Jiang Xie’s voice was inexplicably lower. “I have to get a big basin.”

Xie Xi could only whisper, “Okay.”

At this moment, the two people separated by a door were nervous.

Jiang Xie had long been clear about his own heart. He just thought this child was still young and anxious. He had to boil the child slowly with warm water like a frog and he had to endure the wait.

Xie Xi knew he wasn’t quite right but he was still confused and didn’t understand his heart.

Then the door pushed open and both people experienced a great shock. Jiang Xie couldn’t help it and Xie Xi also understood.

This bathroom was big and had no obstructions. Thus, Xie Xi had nowhere to hide. He could only stand there covered in bubbles while blushing.

Jiang Xie glanced at Xie Xi and couldn’t remember what he was doing.

The young man’s hair was wet, his eyes were teary and his body was glowing white while covered in bubbles, making the body look sexier and more charming.

Jiang Xie stared without blinking and Xie Xi felt like his whole body was burning up. “Teacher?”

Jiang Xie tried hard to move his gaze away. “Hmm.”

Xie Xi’s voice trembled. “The basin is over there…”

“Oh, right.” Jiang Xie’s voice was steady as he walked straight to Xie Xi.

Xie Xi’s eyes widened. “Teacher, it’s over there…”

Jiang Xie’s spirit returned. He managed to control his broken legs and turned to get the basin.

Once Jiang Xie left, Xie Xi placed his head against the cold tiles to cool himself down. Just now, Jiang Xie was coming over…

What did he come over here for? Xie Xi couldn’t think. He felt that his head was going to explode!

Jiang Xie took a while to warm up the water before bringing in the large basin of pure water. This time, he didn’t look. He just put down the water and left, his eyes clean and not daring to even glance at Xie Xi’s toes. He couldn’t look because he didn’t have the water for a cold shower!

Xie Xi’s face was hot when Jiang Xie looked and still hot when he didn’t look. It was because the previous dodgy look was too… it made Xie Xi want to cover up.

Xie Xi tried to tell himself, ‘We are both men. What does it matter?’

Still, his head was full of Jiang Xie’s burning gaze. That… the look wasn’t nothing.

Xie Xi suppressed the thoughts in his head and washed using the water in the basin.

The temperature of the water prepared by Jiang Xie was just right. It wasn’t too cold or hot and a small bowl from the kitchen was also prepared as a water scoop. After all, a real water scoop was rare to see in a modern home.

Xie Xi soon washed off the bubbles and dried himself with a bath towel. He changed clothes and went out.

Jiang Xie was in the living room and the two people happened to see each other when Xie Xi went out.

Jiang Xie asked, “Is it okay?”

Xie Xi’s throat was tight as he bowed his head and replied, “Yes.”

The other person suggested, “It’s still early. Do you want to watch a movie?”

Xie Xi wanted to refuse but his opening was, “I’ll go and clean up the bathroom first.”

“No hurry, I’ll wait for you.”

Xie Xi wiped the group, washed the small bowl and put away the big basin, dawdling for a long time before finally coming out.

Jiang Xie patted the spot beside him. “Come.”

Xie Xi sat down and looked for something to say. “Would you like something to drink?”

Jiang Xie suddenly asked, “Do you want to drink red wine?”

Xie Xi, “!”

Jiang Xie got up and said, “It is fine since drinking a bit helps with sleeping.”

He went to the small bar on the other side of the kitchen, took out a bottle of red wipe, opened it in one go and soon served it in two glasses.

Xie Xi stared at the red liquid for a long time before finally recovering his voice, “I’m not very familiar with drinking.”

Jiang Xie joked, “We’re both adults. Drinking a bit of wine is okay.”

Xie Xi took the glass and spoke slightly nervously, “I don’t know how to drink. It will be a waste of the wine.”

Jiang Xie smiled. “It was born to be drunk by people. It isn’t a waste if you drink it.”

Xie Xi stared at the bottle of wine and couldn’t help asking, “Isn’t it very expensive?”
