“I’m fine! You, on the other hand, why are you walking on the streets at a leisurely pace since it’s raining? Look, everyone else is looking for a place to hide from the rain! What if you catch a cold like this?!” Huo Tian’s voice was filled with heartache.
“I’m fine. You have to wipe yourself too…” Bai Ran avoided Huo Tian’s question and took a tissue from the side, her fingers reaching for Huo Tian’s head.
Huo Tian’s fingers stopped in an instant. This was the first time Bai Ran took the initiative to be close to him. Although it might be out of guilt since he was still drenched because of her.
No matter what her motive was, at least she could be affected by him. In short, it was a good start!
As Huo Tian thought about this, he could not help but smile.
He pulled Bai Ran’s hand down and said, “I’m a man. It’s nothing to be drenched in the rain.”
With that, he took some tissues again and wiped Bai Ran faster.
Soon, although Bai Ran’s hair was still wet, it was no longer dripping.
When Huo Tian saw that it was about time, he said, “Alright, I’ll send you back first. Go back quickly to take a shower and change your clothes. Don’t catch a cold.”
Huo Tian sped along and quickly arrived at Bai Ran’s house.
When the two of them entered the house, Huo Tian said, “Go take a shower quickly. I’ll make you some ginger tea.”
“Why are you more anxious than me?!” Bai Ran couldn’t help but smile. Then, she felt a little awkward. “You need to shower and change too, but I don’t have any men’s clothes here…”
“I already said I’m fine! I was just drenched in the rain when I carried you into the car. You’re different. When I happened to pass by, I already saw you in the rain. I don’t even know how long you were drenched for!” Huo Tian said as he pulled Bai Ran into the bedroom. “Stop talking. Hurry up and find a few clothes to change into. Go take a shower.”
“Alright then!” Bai Ran could not persuade him and went to the closet.
Seeing that she was obedient, Huo Tian walked into the kitchen. After the battle with Chen Chen’s kitchen last time, he knew the location of everything in Bai Ran’s kitchen.
He found ginger and brown sugar with ease. He quickly turned the stove, poured the ingredients into the pot, and started cooking them.
At this moment, Bai Ran had already begun to shower in the bathroom next door.
The soundproofing in this house was not that good. The water in the bathroom was splashing, and Huo Tian could hear it clearly in the kitchen.
As he listened, an image began to appear in Huo Tian’s mind.
Bai Ran’s graceful body was naked under the water…
Desire slowly began to shoot out of Huo Tian’s eyes…
“Zzz…”
The water in the pot boiled and overflowed.
Huo Tian’s thoughts were pulled back immediately, and the desire in his eyes dissipated by more than half.
He quickly found a towel and lifted the lid to continue cooking.
Huo Tian patted his face. What was he thinking?!
Even he could not understand. He might have a natural reaction if other women were naked in front of him, but he would not have any fantasies in his heart, let alone make mistakes.
As for Bai Ran, he did not even see her, but his imagination had already flown far away.
At this moment, Bai Ran pushed the door open and came out.
Huo Tian saw that Bai Ran was wearing new pajamas, but her clothes were very conservative. They covered her from top to bottom tightly, and she was clearly wearing a bra.
Huo Tian understood. Bai Ran still maintained the most basic boundaries with him.
Huo Tian looked at the small pot. It was almost done.
He then turned off the stove and poured out the ginger tea, bringing it to the dining table.
At this moment, Bai Ran was holding a hairdryer and preparing to blow-dry her hair.
“I’ll blow-dry it for you! Coincidentally, ginger tea needs to be cold to drink.” Huo Tian walked to Bai Ran and reached for the hairdryer.
“Ah, there’s no need. I can do it myself,” Bai Ran rejected as she retracted her arm.
“Are you treating me like an outsider again? I’m just blowing your hair.” Huo Tian’s eyes were a little aggrieved.
Looking at Huo Tian’s eyes, Bai Ran’s heart could not help but soften.
