Water poured down.

Jiang Chen closed the knob before he shook off the droplets of water on his head, he then walked out of the shower as he grabbed a towel beside him and wiped himself.

It felt much better after the shower as if the all the alcohol and weariness was washed away.

But the faint fragrance in the room put him in an awkward spot physiologically. He thought while he wiped his hair with the towel.

But as he wiped, his hand froze in the air.

[This is... Xia Shiyu's towel?]

Thinking that towel once covered a pure blossoming flower, and countlessly wiped the mists off of the leaves...

He stared at the towel in his hand as Jiang Chen's expression on his face suddenly turned awkward.

But at this time, a blurry, but shaky figure suddenly appeared on the opaque glass in the washroom. Jiang Chen, who realized what happened, was about to stop her before the bathroom door was pushed open first.

Ka.

Seeing the haggard Xia Shiyu arduously holding on the door frame. Just as she was about to come in, she was stunned at the doorstep.

The cynical thing that appeared in her field of vision made her briefly lost her ability to think.

It was hard to describe the expression on her face, should it be wry? Shocked? Or humiliated.

The air of silence filled the air between the two.

”Hi.” Jiang Chen first broke the silence rigidly. He moved the towel to cover the inexplicable part while keeping a straight face.

Perhaps maybe she was drunk, or perhaps the image was too shocking, Xia Shiyu didn't scream, but rather she calmed down and silently closed the door.

Looking at the closed the door, a bitter smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

”Uh... Maybe I should have screamed?”

Since he already used, and also was seen, might as well finish drying himself.

Jiang Chen shameless dried his entire body, then washed her towel before putting his clothes back on. He then left the bathroom.

He turned to the living room as Xia Shiyu was already sitting on the sofa. When Jiang Chen came out, her vision immediately gazed onto him.

Just as Jiang Chen was mentally prepared for the ”pervert” ”sick-minded,” the expected anger didn't arrive.

”Uh, are you going to ask me something?” He felt a bit frightened by Xia Shiyu's silence, Jiang Chen careful sat across from her as he said apologetically.

Xia Shiyu still didn't say anything, with the aid of the moonlight, it was visible that on the usually cold face, the bright red lips were slightly trembling.

[Because she is so angry she couldn't express it?]

Jiang Chen drilled deep into his mind and still couldn't figure out the current mood of this girl. The prideful ice beauty realized after waking up that she was lying on the bed, with clothes slovenly, the first button of the dress shirt unbuttoned, and also a man (pervert) using her washroom to take a shower, using the towel that she had always used...

From any perspective, she must not be in the best mood.

”Ummm, you were drunk.” Jiang Chen awkwardly tried to explain.

With the direct stare, Jiang Chen didn't know if she was thinking or mooning out.

”You were sleeping on the table, so I carried you back on my back. Your car is still there, remember to drive it back tomorrow.” Seeing Xia Shiyu did not react, Jiang Chen continued.

”Why?” Seemed like she reacted to this sentence, Xia Shiyu murmured as if she was whispering in her dream.

”Why? Is that even a question.” Jiang Chen had a bitter smile, ”I can't leave you there by yourself. You live alone, and you drank yourself like that, be more cautious next time. If a human trafficker is pretending to be someone to be close to you, you don't even know if you were sold to some desolate mountain areas.”

Hearing this, Xia Shiyu looked over and made eye contact with Jiang Chen.

After a long silence, even to her disbelief, she asked, ”Then would you come to save me?”

He was shocked by the sudden question, Jiang Chen thought for a glimpse.

”Yes.”

”Why?” It was still the dreamy mutter.

Expectation? Or perhaps just confusion?

”Does there need to be a reason?” Jiang Chen sighed as he asked rhetorically.

Humans were never a pure logical animal, what's the point of excessive need for reasons?

Xia Shiyu was not pleased with Jiang Chen's response. The graceful top lip bit on the bottom one, the rather blank expression seemed like she still hasn't gained a clear mind.

Seeing that she hadn't said anything, Jiang Chen coughed and gently said.

”You are drunk. Don't drink this much in the future, now go get some rest.”

Although he didn't know what she was so fixated about, based on this response, she was not angry?

She stood up wobbling, just as Jiang Chen let a sigh thinking she was going back to the room to sleep, she moved across and stood in front of him.

”You, who do you like?” The voice carried some intoxication, but the tone certainly carried CEO Xia's authority.

The random questions threw Jiang Chen off.

He forced a smile and didn't answer. He didn't know how to answer.

After the last press conference, he already had a sense for Xia Shiyu's feelings towards him.

Although she always put on a cold expression that kept people a thousand miles away, her heart was still that of a child.

As to why he said that, it was because only a child would believe coldness meant maturity.
