Are you crazy?! He accidentally flirted with a bigwig in Beijing's elite circles.

Su Ta touched her shower cap, said "Oh," and obediently walked towards the dressing table.

After putting her phone away, she took off her shower cap and picked up a hairdryer to dry her hair.

Zhao Jinqian held his phone in one hand and unbuttoned his shirt with the other, pulled out his belt and threw it onto the sofa before turning and heading towards the bathroom.

After entering the bathroom, he glanced at the person on the other end of the video call, who was diligently blow-drying their hair.

"Ta-ta..."

But Suta obviously didn't hear it; the phone was a bit far away, plus the noise from the hairdryer.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinqian simply curled the corners of his lips, followed her example, placed his phone on the bathroom shelf, and turned on the shower with his other hand.

Suta felt her hair was almost done being blown dry, and since she didn't plan to go to sleep right away anyway.

The remaining damp hair will dry naturally after a while.

She put the hairdryer down and was about to comb her hair when she heard the sound of running water coming from the other end of the phone.

What is he washing?

"Ah Jin?"

No one answered her, so she had to pick up her phone and look at it closely.

It's obvious at a glance that this is a bathroom, so could he be taking a shower?

He was actually taking a shower with her on video call?

"Are you taking a shower? Then I'll hang up now, and we'll talk again after you're done..."

But before she could finish speaking, the phone screen flickered, and then Zhao Jinqian's handsome face, covered in water droplets, was suddenly magnified.

Su Ta's heart skipped a beat.

His eyes were glued to the phone screen, his gaze never wavering!

On the screen, Zhao Jinqian casually raised his hand and used his five fingers to brush his wet hair back, revealing his entire face and features.

His forehead and the bridge of his nose were covered with glistening water droplets.

Water droplets slid down his straight, mountain-ridge-like nose, gathered at the tip of his nose, and then slid down to his thin lips.

It then slid from his thin lips to his chin, and finally fell to the ground and disappeared into the water.

Seeing Zhao Jinqian like this, Su Ta's heartbeat noticeably accelerated.

My mind also uncontrollably wanders to thoughts of pornography.

For example, that time in his office...

His chin and the tip of his nose were also covered in glistening water droplets.

But those water droplets are different from bathwater.

That was hers...

Zhao Jinqian watched as her face on the screen grew increasingly red, her eyes darting around, clearly showing an expression of lustful longing.

He couldn't help but chuckle softly, a laugh that was both pleasant and sexy.

"What are you thinking about, Tata? Why is your face so red?"

"what?"

Su Ta was startled and quickly looked at herself on the screen. Sure enough, her face was very red!

It's even redder than right after I took a shower!

She was afraid he would see the yellowish stuff in her head.

She quickly covered her face, her gaze shifting away guiltily, and stammered.

"I, I didn't, I wasn't thinking anything. My face is red because it's hot in the shower, yes, it's hot in the shower!"

Zhao Jinqian's smile deepened. "Really? Are you hot?"

Suta nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I'm very hot!"

"What temperature is the air conditioner set at?"

Su Ta subconsciously said, "Sixteen degrees..."

Zhao Jinqian remained silent, simply smiling at her without saying a word, though his smile held a deeper meaning, hinting at something.

Suta wished she could bite off her own tongue.

Sixteen degrees? How could she possibly feel hot at such a low temperature?

So she could only cover her face, glaring at him with resentment in her eyes.

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'See through things but don't say it'?"

"Huh? Did I say anything?"

"you……"

Su Ta narrowed her eyes and scoffed, "I get the feeling you're a bit of a green tea bitch."

"Why green tea?"

Su Ta was speechless. How was he supposed to explain this to her?

Although she herself can be quite manipulative at times.

However, it varies from person to person.

"It's nothing, it's just an adjective."

"Could you explain?"

Hey!

Is this never going to end?

"It means you're as pure and untainted as green tea, yes, that's exactly what I mean!"

Zhao Jinqian clearly didn't believe it, but he didn't press the matter further. Instead, he changed the subject.

"Are you going to keep watching me shower, or...?"

Su Ta then remembered that he was taking a shower!

She quickly denied it, saying, "No, no, no, I didn't want to watch it. I'll hang up now!"

After saying that, she quickly ended the video call.

But when she thought about how she had just been thinking about those things, she couldn't help but cover her face.

"Su Ta, you've really turned into a little lecher!"

She shook her head, trying to get rid of the yellow waste.

She began to focus on skincare.

Zhao Jinqian chuckled softly as he watched the video call being disconnected.

Her guilty conscience regarding tonight further confirmed that she had something to hide.

If he wanted to investigate, the things she was trying to hide would be laid bare before him in less than an hour.

But he still chose not to have anyone investigate what happened that night.

Since he already knew that she had approached him with an ulterior motive, it didn't matter what methods she used.

Since she doesn't want him to know, he can pretend he knows nothing.

All he needed to do was confirm her feelings.

He reached out and turned off the shower, picked up a towel, and turned to leave.

After applying her skincare product, Su Ta returned to bed, and once the excitement subsided, she regained her composure.

So judging from his demeanor just now, he probably didn't ask anyone to investigate what happened that night.

Thinking of this, Su Ta breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She won't keep deceiving him forever.

This will become a thorn in her side.

She will tell him the truth when the time is right.

However, their relationship is still shallow and cannot withstand any shocks.

Back in bed, she sent him another voice message.

"Have you finished showering?"

Zhao Jinqian replied quickly, also via voice message.

"Hmm, would you like to video chat again?"

"Of course I want to..."

She stopped recording before she could finish speaking.

Change it to: "It's late, you should get some rest, after all, you have work to do tomorrow."

Unlike her, who, because of her parents' support and safety net, could continue to be a useless freeloader.

"Okay, goodnight, Tata."

But it took Su Ta six or seven listens to that one sentence before she finally replied.

Goodnight, Ajin~

After saying goodnight to each other, Su Ta finally put down her phone, satisfied.

She turned over, hugged her doll, and closed her eyes.

He didn't suspect anything, so he can sleep peacefully tonight!

But perhaps because she was overthinking things that night, she had a nightmare.

In his dream, Zhao Jinqian learned the truth.

He spoke to her with unprecedented indifference.

He said, "Su Ta, what do you take my sincerity for? Is my sincerity, Zhao Jinqian's sincerity, so worthless that you would trample on it like this?"

She said, "No, that's not it. I didn't mean to. I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you. I was just afraid you would hate me and leave me. Ah Jin, please forgive me. I promise I'll never lie to you again, okay?"

He added, "Those who trample on sincerity don't deserve forgiveness. From now on, it's over between us. Don't ever appear in front of me again, or you'll regret messing with me!"

"No, no, no, I don't want to break up, I won't break up!"

Su Ta woke up from her dream, startled awake before dawn.

She took a while to recover from the shock, then touched her forehead, which was covered in cold sweat.
