Qian Xiaoxue took a very thorough bath, spending well over an hour inside. During this time, Gu Yuan had long since needed to use the restroom, but he had no choice but to hold it. He began to regret not renting a place with two bathrooms.
Finally, he heard her soft footsteps as she left the bathroom. Only then did he slowly get up to relieve himself. When he pushed the door open, the room was filled with a lingering, steamy mist mixed with a faint fragrance. As he stood there, he found himself observing the subtle changes in the bathroom. She was a composed girl, quite unlike the slightly messy Qian Ruixue; she had cleaned the water stains off the floor until everything was spotless.
Even so, Gu Yuan spotted a single strand of hair on the vanity mirror. Judging by its length, it definitely wasn’t his. Driven by some inexplicable impulse, he pinched the long strand between his fingers to examine it, then held it to his nose and took a light sniff. It actually still held a scent—a unique fragrance that belonged only to Qian Xiaoxue.
