Free Web NovelChapter 2112: Chapter 2313: Caught in an Embarrassing Situation!!!
So that’s how it went, Hao Jian and Zhang Danlin chatted from the middle of the night until almost dawn. Hao Jian didn’t quite know what they talked about, but neither of them could sleep. You ask, I answer; I ask, you answer. Hours slipped by in random conversation, and suddenly the time was nearing daylight.
Hao Jian said he had class and should get some sleep, so they hurriedly ended the chat. Hao Jian quickly fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes again, it hadn’t even been half an hour, but it was already six o’clock.
Since he was awake, he couldn’t fall back asleep. Though still bleary-eyed, he got up. The first thing he did was head to the bathroom to brush his teeth. Half asleep, he opened the door and stumbled inside, turned on the light, picked up his toothbrush, squeezed some toothpaste, and filled a cup with water to start brushing.
After brushing, he was ready to wash his face. He turned around to grab a face towel, and just as he reached for it, his gaze was instinctively drawn to something on top of the washing machine.
Something of Liang Xiaohan’s was casually thrown on top of the washing machine, right in plain sight. He was half asleep, missing many details, but when he turned to pick up the face towel, his eyes caught this strange sight.
He instinctively glanced at it twice. This wasn’t the main issue, if only it was just this he’d brush it off as Xiaohan being careless. Now he wasn’t living alone anymore, they’d been living together for a while. She was still so casual, placing her personal items openly on the washing machine.
Didn’t she realize he could easily see it? Last night there was already a spark of curiosity, luckily cooled off by water, but now this morning there was something else. Sigh... life is really hard, enduring these trials every day. Hao Jian wanted to call Xiaohan out and say, "In school, you’re a Goddess Level figure, but at home, you should act a bit more reserved. This... such personal items shouldn’t be placed so openly in public areas."
However, before he could think much more, his eyes caught something they shouldn’t have. He saw Liang Xiaohan... a crab, then he instantly froze and remembered what happened last night.
When he returned, he discovered Xiaohan had tightly shut her bedroom door and was hiding inside, doing something.
He couldn’t believe it, this scene unfolded before his eyes and his imagination ran wild. So Xiaohan is that kind of girl. He... he didn’t know what to say. In his mind, countless images conjured from past experiences flashed by.
He was dumbstruck. That’s the only way to describe him now. He had initially turned around to get a face towel to wash his face, but ended up completely dazed by this scene.
Last night was a discovery of a new world, and now it’s finding a new continent. Although he’d heard of such things and read about it in books, it was the first time experiencing it in person.
Though Xiaohan was in her youthful prime, such thoughts are quite normal. But... he just didn’t know how to phrase it.
Today, he witnessed Xiaohan’s scene, suddenly feeling a sneaky sense of probing others’ inner worlds, as if he did something particularly creepy and unethical.
Yet, just as he questioned his morals, the next scene became even more unforgettable. Not much else, during those few seconds of stunned stillness while brushing his teeth with the bathroom door open, someone suddenly walked in.
The person was Xiaohan. She emerged from the corner, still showing a face not fully rested, but upon walking through the doorway into the bathroom, her eyes slightly opened, still sleepy, yet seeing Hao Jian staring initially at the lower part of the bathroom, his eyes fixed on her stuff.
That’s right, as Hao Jian discovered this, he startled himself momentarily, while Xiaohan found him staring at her belongings intensely, causing her entire body to jolt in surprise.
She had been so casual, not adjusting for others’ presence, just tossing her stuff there, then coming out from her room to grab her clothes for changing, but turned around witnessing this. She thought Hao Jian wouldn’t wake up so early, yet this scene made her freeze.
She instantly stood there, speechless. Watching him wasn’t the issue, but as she traced Hao Jian’s gaze downwards and focused on a specific area, she became utterly stupfied.
Suddenly, her face flushed beet red. Despite having an easygoing nature, she couldn’t be thick-skinned at this moment.
This was so embarrassing. She was suddenly clueless about how to react, froze in place, and stared wide-eyed at Hao Jian, her face blushed redder and her body heated up. She couldn’t stop her temperature from rapidly rising, and her heartbeat from racing.
"You..." she suddenly uttered.
At that moment, Hao Jian realized her presence, completely flabbergasting him, nearly jumping from fright. But he quickly froze in place, not knowing what to say, never imagining to be caught by Xiaohan in this scene.
He saw Xiaohan’s face promptly turn extremely red, never seeing her blush so deeply before. Momentarily lost, he didn’t know how to proceed. Hesitating, he awkwardly gathered his gaze back, and stammered, "I... I... I was just grabbing a face towel to wash my face."
To cover his embarrassment, he hastily grabbed the face towel and pretended to wash his face, furiously splashing cold water to calm himself down. Normally, Xiaohan wouldn’t easily let Hao Jian off the hook, but this time, she couldn’t utter a single reprimand.
Usually, she’d scold him, but this time she couldn’t speak a word, face red, seeing him turn around acting as nothing occurred, quickly going over, grabbing her stuff, and swiftly turning away.
She hurried back to her room, locking herself inside. Watching her items, imagining Hao Jian’s shock upon discovery, meanwhile revisiting her embarrassment witnessing this scene herself.
From childhood till now, it was her first time facing such an awkward moment, feeling she couldn’t muster the face to speak to Hao Jian anymore, puzzled on how to face him.
Yet one thing must be said, her face suddenly flushed with determination.
Hao Jian continued washing, repeatedly to stay calm, forgetting the scene, shedding its memory. But while he once again dropped his face into the water, his rear unexpectedly got kicked.
In this apartment, it was just him and Xiaohan, he instantly knew it was her kicking him, needless to think twice. He sharply lifted his head, face-to-face with Xiaohan looking fiercely.
"Do not let this happen again, understood? Don’t tell anyone, bury it deep within, act like it never happened, never bringing it up, not once mentioned, otherwise you’ll regret it," Xiaohan declared, still with an intimidating stance toward Hao, as if breaching this would bring lifetime regret.
At that moment, Hao Jian froze too.
In bewilderment thinking, "What is this? It was you who let me see this, alright? Now you speak as if I’m the wrongdoer here."
He felt a bit indignant at Xiaohan for speaking like this, showing some small displeasure.
Then he nodded, saying, "Understood, obeying the lady’s commands."
Still unsatisfied, Xiaohan said, "Remember this internally, don’t just feign compliance."
How does one internalize this? And what’s feigned compliance?
Hao Jian stood there in confusion, looking at Xiaohan.
"Wrong!" Xiaohan abruptly interjected, "You have to remember forgetting this inside, immediately erase today’s events completely."
