Old Hu watched from outside the door with relish, he never expected to see such a lively and fragrant scene when he returned home.

After around 10 minutes, Old Hu still had not seen enough, but Zhao Lei had already finished washing up and was wiping her body.

The Old Hu was afraid that she would see through him, so he quietly walked back to the first floor, pretending as if he had just returned.

When he heard Zhao Lei coming out, he started to walk towards the second floor.

”Who's inside?” In order to make the situation more realistic, Old Hu asked and pretended to discover the thief.

Zhao Lei did not expect Old Hu to return, she was so scared that she did not even dare move from her bedroom, not knowing whether to wear clothes or hide.

”Who is it!?” Who's inside! ” Old Hu walked in step by step, anger hidden in his tone.

”Uncle, it's me!” Zhao Lei was afraid that the Old Hu would misunderstand him, hence she shouted loudly so that the Old Hu would not think of him as a thief. Then, the Old Hu asked in shock, ”Little Lei? Why are you inside? Didn't I tell you to go back to school? ”

”That... ”Uncle, wait a moment, I'll explain to you when I get out.” Zhao Lei's voice was very delicate, showing how embarrassed she was.

”Alright, then I'll wait for you downstairs.” After Old Hu said this, he walked downstairs and did not ask Zhao Lei why he appeared in his bedroom anymore. This one hundred percent trust made Zhao Lei feel at ease.

She was even worried that the Old Hu would misunderstand her coming in to steal something.

After five minutes, Zhao Lei finished packing her things and went downstairs with a blush on her face, ”That old man, I'm so sorry, I didn't tell you that I … I'm going to use your bathroom for a bath... ”

She lowered her head, and used her small hands to hold onto the corner of her clothes, not daring to look at Old Hu's face.

Old Hu paused for a moment and laughed, ”Hai, what's there to be embarrassed about! It's just a bath. It's fine, if you want to come over again in the future, just let me know. ”

”This is a bit too abrupt. I thought you wouldn't be back today …” Zhao Lei's face was still flushed red. She felt that it was very likely that Old Hu would still be playing in the middle of the night when he attended the banquet. He might not return to stay the night, if not she would not dare to come and take a bath.

”No, I was feeling a little unwell today, so I decided to come back and rest. ”But it's already so late, why did you think of taking a bath?” Old Hu was still a little puzzled.

”I went to the school's bathroom today and found that the water heater was broken. I couldn't take a bath so I felt uncomfortable. I wanted to say hello to you, but I was afraid that such a small matter would disturb your going to the banquet, so I didn't say anything. ”

Zhao Lei was being honest, she was just there to greet him, but later on she felt that there was no need for it, she just left after washing up quickly, and didn't do anything else.

”It's alright, you're not an outsider. Just use it, it doesn't matter if you tell me or not. I came in just now to see the light on on on the second floor. I thought you had already returned to school and I thought you had entered the house. ” Old Hu scratched the back of his head, looking very honest.

Zhao Lei smiled and did not reply.

The air suddenly became awkward. In order to ease the awkwardness, Old Hu coughed twice, ”Xiao Lei, it's getting late, you should go back and rest quickly. You can come back tomorrow.”

”Ok, grandpa, you should rest early too. I'm going back.” Zhao Lei felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. After finally obtaining Old Hu's approval, she quickly left.

Old Hu looked at her back, his heart itching.
