Chapter 145 Oppa is too big! [Double votes requested]

Her apartment is indeed small, but at a glance it is clearly a cozy and exquisite space for a single girl.

The well-lit living room connects to an open-plan kitchenette. Several brightly colored abstract paintings hang on the off-white walls, and a few potted plants are placed in the entryway, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

Choi Si-an touched it out of curiosity.

Yes, it really is fake.

"Ha—" Noticing the teasing in his eyes, the girl chuckled sheepishly, "Just decorating it up—"

Cui Shi'an smiled, his gaze then drawn to a huge carrot cushion on the sofa that took up almost half the seat.

The carrot was adorable, with two bright green leaves sewn on it, creating a wonderful harmony with her bunny pajamas.

Shen Youna followed his gaze, her face flushing red. "Um—I usually live alone at home, so it's a bit messy, I haven't had time to tidy up—"

As she spoke, she awkwardly moved several pairs of sneakers that she had casually taken off in the entryway to the bottom of the shoe cabinet, with a hint of embarrassment in her expression.

"Kenchana, your home is very cozy." Cui Shi'an smiled gently, a slight throbbing in his chest making him subconsciously raise his hand and press it lightly. "Do you usually live here alone?"

"Hey—" Shen Youna nodded and led him into the living room: "I just rented this place at the beginning of the year. Actually, we still live in the dormitory most of the time, but sometimes—we just want a place that is completely our own, where we can relax and not have to worry about our roommates."

Cui Shi'an nodded knowingly, walked to the sofa, and wanted to sit down, but then hesitated because he was worried that he might have dust on him and traces of the fight earlier.

"Oppa, would you like something to drink? Water? Juice? Or tea? I have everything in my fridge!"

As if suddenly remembering the proper way to treat guests, Shen Youna hurriedly turned around and went to the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator door, and sure enough, it was packed full of various drinks, fruits, and yogurt, all neatly arranged.

"No need to trouble yourself." Cui Shi'an waved his hand, then gently pressed his chest again, the cold, stagnant feeling becoming increasingly pronounced. "Healing is the priority. Where's the sauna you mentioned?"

"Ah! Right!" Shen Youna immediately closed the refrigerator and ran to the other side of the sofa, where there was an object covered with a light gray dust cloth.

She grabbed the corner of the cloth and pulled it with some effort—"whoosh."

A portable home sauna tub, about half the height of a person, off-white in color, and with a cute, rounded shape, was revealed.

At first glance, it looks like an enlarged thermos, with a control panel on the side and a zippered opening at the top, allowing people to sit inside with only their heads sticking out.

"How exactly do you use this?" Cui Shi'an had never used anything like this before.

Upon hearing this, Shen Youna immediately switched to "explanation mode," pointing to the control panel: "It's very simple! First, add purified water through this inlet, plug in the power, set the temperature and time here, then go in, zip up the zipper, and you can sit or lie down as you like, just let the steam rise slowly—"

She explained it very clearly, and Cui Shi'an nodded to indicate that he understood: "Shall we begin now?"

"Ah! Wait!" Shin Yuna suddenly exclaimed, her face flushing red again. She nervously rubbed her hands together. "Oppa, wait a minute, I—I'll go clean it up inside first!"

Cui Shi'an glanced inside the sauna tub; it looked clean and had a faint, lemony scent of freshener.

"No need, it looks very clean to me."

"No—" Shin Yuna's ears turned red, and her voice grew softer and softer, "I—I used it myself before—although I cleaned it afterward, it's still—to wash it again for better hygiene—"

After all, it's a personal item, and she felt extremely embarrassed to let a man of the opposite sex use it that she had used, even if it had been cleaned.

Seeing the shy blush on her face, as if she wanted to disappear into the ground, Choi Si-an couldn't help but laugh. This laugh aggravated his injuries, and he took a deep breath before softening his tone and saying, "Yoona, Oppa is here to heal his wounds and warm up, not to enjoy a sauna~"

Shin Yuna then realized that she had been overly preoccupied with the embarrassing details and had overlooked the fact that Choi Si-an was injured.

"Mian nai," she quickly apologized, "I, I'll go prepare right away!"

She rushed into the kitchen, took out the measuring cup that came with the sauna tub, filled it with water, and then poured water into the water inlet on top of the sauna tub.

Cui Shi'an took the opportunity to stretch his stiff arms and observe the small space.

After a while, when the water was almost added, Shen Youna plugged in the power, squatted down by the bucket, and awkwardly studied the control panel, carefully setting the temperature.

After doing all that, she straightened up, wiped non-existent sweat from her forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, once the water heats up to the set temperature, the panel will give a notification, and Oppa can go in."

Watching her bustling around, Cui Shi'an felt a warmth in his heart, but his gaze swept over the conspicuous sauna in the center of the living room, and then looked at the soft sofa and carpet beside it, and he couldn't help but ask, "You Na, shall I—steam here?"

The idea of ​​performing this "healing ritual" in the middle of the living room, in a girl's cozy little nest, seemed a bit strange to Cui Shi'an.

"Ah!" Shen Youna belatedly exclaimed again, her face turning bright red like a ripe apple.

"It doesn't seem very convenient to do it in the living room—why don't we go to the bathroom instead?"

As she spoke, she hurriedly prepared to move the sauna tub to another location.

The bucket itself had wheels, but it was quite heavy after being filled with water. Shen Youna strained her face until it turned red, and with all her might, she managed to push it a little. The wheels made a heavy rubbing sound on the floor.

"Let me do it," Cui Shi'an said, stepping forward.

"No!" Shin Yuna immediately stopped him, her tone firm. "Oppa, you're injured. Just sit and rest! I can manage!"

She gritted her teeth and, with a combination of pushing and dragging, finally managed to move the bulky thing to the narrow bathroom doorway.

Then, a problem arose.

The bathroom door wasn't particularly narrow, but considering the width of the sauna tub, its cylindrical shape making it difficult to bend, and the potential clutter near the entrance—

In short, the girl struggled at the door for several minutes, trying various angles, but she just couldn't get in.

Sitting on the sofa, Cui Shi'an could clearly hear the girl's suppressed soft breathing coming from the bathroom doorway, the muffled thud of the toilet hitting the door frame, and the occasional deflated mutterings.

After a while, the sound stopped.

With her forehead damp with sweat and her cheeks flushed, she looked at Cui Shi'an, opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Cui Shi'an asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Shin Yuna awkwardly wiped the sweat from her forehead: "That oppa—the bucket is too big—he can't get in."

She paused, looking quite embarrassed, "How about—Oppa, we steam it in the living room—?"

"Um."

Later.

Cui Shi'an took off his coat and sat down inside.

The space inside the bucket was indeed a bit cramped for someone his height, forcing him to slightly curl up his long legs, a posture that wasn't exactly comfortable.

He zipped up the top zipper, completely covering his body except for his neck and head, like a plant transplanted into a strange flowerpot.

"Yuna, I'm all set," he said, heading towards the bedroom.

"Inside—" came a clear reply from the bedroom.

After a while, Shin Yuna returned to the living room with several clean towels and clothes. When she saw Choi Si-an sitting in the sauna, looking somewhat helpless and resigned, the girl couldn't help but burst out laughing, her eyes curving into crescents: "Oppa, it's so crowded, isn't it? You look so pitiful."

Cui Shi'an closed his eyes, moving his head from side to side within a limited range, trying to find a more comfortable position: "There is a little bit—"

"Hahaha~" Shin Yuna laughed even harder: "Oppa is so big! When I use it myself, the space is just right, and I can even move around a little inside."

Choi Si-an opened his eyes slightly and glanced at her, his tone deliberately teasing: "No, no, it's because Oppa is too big. If you burst, don't blame Oppa~"
