Applying medicine was actually a rather tormenting process.
If the other party was a man, Mu Xichen would’ve tossed his things aside and gone off to shower on his own.
But he obviously couldn’t do that now.
He was careful and meticulous, afraid that he’d hurt her in any way.
Li Beinian could feel the cool ointment on her cheek.
It stung initially, but then the coolness hit after and the pain was soothed. She squinted her eyes a little.
But she didn’t know that this small, subtle reaction of hers got Mu Xichen stunned for a moment.
He tensed up all over as he looked more closely at her face.
Li Beinian’s neckline was beautiful.
Although the buttons were all done, they draped off her loosely as the clothes were a little oversized for her.
Her collarbone was exquisite and visible through her white top.
He looked down further and saw the well-rounded parts, soft and gentle, causing his heart to palpitate even faster.
Somewhere in his lower abdomen was starting to burn up. Mu Xichen tried to ignore it, but he couldn’t help but tense up.
His breathing quickened as his body stiffened up.
With that came his paused movements.
Li Beinian turned to face him and saw that something about Mu Xichen seemed off.
He looked rather uncomfortable.
His core was tensed up and his expression was cold as beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
Meanwhile, his hand was wrapped around the cotton bud, clenched tighter than before.
But the touch on her face was still soft and gentle.
Li Beinian furrowed her brows slightly. “Are you unwell?”
Mu Xichen had been trying to keep it in. At this point, he couldn’t hold it any longer.
He got up immediately. “I need the washroom!”
Before Li Beinian could even react, Mu Xichen had strode off.
She heard the door close.
Mu Xichen’s cell phone rang again. It was a string of digits that seemed to come from Guang City.
It was very familiar.
So familiar that she could remember it for two lifetimes.
It was Mu Donglin’s office number.
Li Beinian’s heart sank as she looked at the number.
The sound of water running came from the washroom, stunning Li Beinian.
That jerk went to shower?
He wasn’t even done applying the medication!
What the heck!
How irresponsible!
His cell phone was still ringing, so Li Beinian turned it to silent mode.
It became a missed call. She thought that the other party would just give it up since no one was receiving the call.
But it seemed like there was something urgent, as the calls kept coming.
Mu Xichen hadn’t come out of the shower this whole time.
When the fifth call came in, Li Beinian couldn’t help but yell, “Mu Xichen, there’s a call for you!”
The water kept running and there was no response.
Mu Xichen only came out 10 minutes later.
His hair was dripping with water as he emerged in a black bathrobe.
His height and golden ratio physique were beautifully exhibited in it.
He didn’t seem to have a habit of toweling himself dry. The beads of water rolled down his face and onto his toned chest, then further down to his abdomen.
Li Beinian’s heart pumped rapidly as she stole a few glances.
Mu Xichen sat down right away, took a look at the missed calls, and then shut his phone.
Li Beinian reminded him. “There were so many calls, it could be urgent. You really aren’t returning the call?”
Mu Xichen turned towards her, sexy after the shower. “It’s fine.”
