Chapter 40 - The Smell of Soap (1)
After Nie AnAn had showered and dried her hair that night, she looked at her long hair in the mirror and suddenly a thought occurred to her – could the Nie’s wanted her over there so they could take her hair?
It seemed easy to leave hair behind if she has a ponytail, but what about a bun?
Nie AnAn pulled her hair into a bun in front of the mirror. As she was walking out of the bathroom, she tried to pull her own hair.
Yup, this was proven the safest approach, and she felt much better. She saw the couch and plopped on it while she continued to think about her interview tomorrow.
As such, she hadn’t noticed anything was off until the water sound stopped in the bathroom that was attached to the room. Shortly thereafter, the door opened, and a man walked out from it.
Nie AnAn finally recollected herself and looked up.
The first thing she saw was a pair of long and large legs. They had strong contours and were straight and slender.
Moving upward from there, there was a bath towel that was wrapped loosely around his waist.
Then, it was the flat stomach with the very defined muscles that looked like chocolate chunks.
Nie AnAn continued to move her eyesight upward, and the next thing she saw was Huo YanXiao’s face with his very defined features.
His hair was still wet with a few loose strand of hair sticking to his forehead. His normally fierce, hard, and cold features looked softer than usual and, perhaps from the shower, also seemed warmer.
Nie AnAn’s eyes widened and her mouth dropped open into a big O. She temporarily forgot how to react up until Huo YanXiao walked toward her and said in a mild tone, “AnAn, you looking for me?”
Nie AnAn recollected herself and shook her head immediately, “Oh no, big brother. I accidentally walked into the wrong room.”
Having said that, she quickly jumped up and walked to head out of the room.
It seemed that her slippers were not slip-proof. After stepping on the water dripping from Huo YanXiao’s body, she slipped and landed on the floor on her bottom.
Huo YanXiao might have quick reflexes, but he was a little too slow this time and was only able to grab ahold of a small piece of her clothes.
When she first landed on the floor, she was still in a zone, but the pain had made her small face cringed, looking both silly and pitiful.
Huo YanXiao squatted down immediately and asked, “AnAn, are you hurt?”
Nie AnAn’s eyes teared up from the pain. She shook her head and said, “No, just that my butt hurts.”
She looked at his body again and noticed that even when he was squatting down, there was no extra fat on his body.
The very next second, Huo YanXiao placed one hand under her knees and one behind her back and picked her up.
Her nose was filled with the smell of his soap. With a sideward glance, she could see his collarbones. She felt that her heartbeat sped up all of a sudden.
Huo YanXiao carried Nie AnAn into her bedroom and carefully placed her on it before he rubbed her on her head again.
When he felt the bun on her head, he couldn’t help but squeeze it a little and thought that it felt good squeezing it.
“Get some rest,” said Huo YanXiao as he let go of her.
Nie AnAn nodded obediently and said, “Mm. Goodnight, big brother.”
“Good night.” Huo YanXiao was just about to walk away when he remembered something and added, “Even though it’s summer time, the A/C is on. Don’t kick off the blanket when you sleep.”
“Okay, big brother,” said Nie AnAn agreeably.
Huo YanXiao turned and Nie AnAn took a quick glance at his back before she quickly averted her eyes.
Big brother has such a hot body. Both his frontal or back views were every bit as good as a male model on the cover of a magazine. As Nie AnAn thought about that, she looked down on herself.
She was too small. So small that he still thought of her as a child and felt the need to tell her to not kick off her blanket when she slept…
Nie AnAn couldn’t help but pout.
