He hummed a carefree tune as he opened the fridge.

Since Gu Yuan had notified them beforehand that she was coming over, the food in the fridge had been completely replaced, and the cleanliness was redone once more.

There was an abundance of fruit.

Chi Yu took half a watermelon, a bunch of grapes, some strawberries, cherries, and other common fruits, and made a fruit platter. He saw the passionfruit and honey jar.

Thinking back to the last time when he was filming with the crew and it was so hot, Xiong Yao had made a honey passionfruit for him. Chi Yu thought it tasted great and asked for the recipe. It was quite simple, so he remembered it.

The materials were just right, so Chi Yu made a cup of honey passionfruit for Gu Yuan as well.

After finishing these tasks, he carried the fruit platter and the freshly prepared honey passionfruit to the door of the bathroom.

...

Inside the Rococo-styled bathroom, it resembled a replica of a princess’s bathroom from the last century.

The luxurious artistic decor style had always been Gu Yuan’s preferred taste.

Not every woman favors opulent things; contemporary women prefer light luxury or minimalist white styles. Yet, Gu Yuan loves everything extravagant.

After finishing her skincare routine, the essential oil fragrance in the bathtub had already blended. She threw in a bath bomb, filling the bathtub with delicate purple bubbles. She wrapped her un-dried hair in a towel, stepped her slender legs into the tub, and slowly sat down.

The fine purple bubbles just submerged at Gu Yuan’s chest, concealing that ample scenery.

She turned on the projection, randomly picked a romance movie to play, then rested her head on the custom pillow behind her, comfortably leaning back, enjoying the utmost relaxation when her pores were fully opened.

A few minutes after entering the bathtub, Chi Yu knocked on the bathroom door.

Gu Yuan said, "Come in."

The bathroom is big and soundproof.

The ’come in’ was spoken forcefully, loud enough for the person outside to hear.

Upon hearing Gu Yuan inviting him in, Chi Yu’s blood started to boil. He told himself: Don’t get excited; excitement helps nothing!!!

Regulating his mood, he opened the door and went in.

No matter how controlled he had been, after entering and seeing the woman lying in the tub with her fragrant shoulder exposed, Chi Yu’s nose felt warm, and he sensed he was about to have a nosebleed...

Eagerly, he walked to the bathtub.

Upon seeing Gu Yuan lying in the water, her delicate figure submerged in foam, Chi Yu’s eyes widened.

Gu Yuan: "..."

That expression... it’s not like he hasn’t seen it before!!

Could it really be because he has been left hanging for too long without tasting any meat, making his gaze seem like he’s never seen a woman before?!

"Help me put the retractable board down across the tub," Gu Yuan ordered him.

Chi Yu freed his hands to comply, putting the retractable board down across the bathtub, then set the sliced fruits and the brewed honey passionfruit on the board.

After finishing these, Chi Yu leaned on the edge of the bathtub, staring at Gu Yuan with fixed eyes.

Gu Yuan, having just finished her skincare routine, her skin gleamed exceptionally under the indoor lighting. Her skin was excellent, related both to her care and her natural condition. Her makeup-free face was as flawless as a shelled egg, almost without blemish.

If flaws had to be mentioned, it would be the faint dark circles under her eyes.

She usually busied herself with work, lacking much downtime.

Because of the lip balm applied, her lips looked exceptionally plump, with a soft pink tint. Her neck was a delicate pink, and the same was true for her exposed fragrant shoulder. Below, the alabaster whiteness was obscured by bubbles; like holding a lute half-hidden, making Chi Yu’s Adam’s apple swallow slightly, his throat itchy and dry, somewhat overwhelmed.

Nose feels so hot.

Isn’t it about to bleed?

Just thinking that, he heard Gu Yuan say, "You’re bleeding from your nose."

Chi Yu was startled and immediately raised a hand to touch his nose.

Despite finding nothing, he just breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Gu Yuan laughing, he then realized she was teasing him intentionally.

He bit his cheek tightly, looked down at a certain area while silently muttering: Don’t rise, buddy, she’s tricking you!

Gu Yuan: "I forgot to light the scented candle; could you light it for me?"

Chi Yu obediently went to comply, finding a scented candle on the cabinet beside him. He found matches in the drawer below the cabinet, took one out, and lit it.

With a ’swish,’ the flame danced at the match’s red tip.

At that moment, Gu Yuan extended a hand from the bubbles. Her arm was tender, a lotus-white color as she noticed the honey passionfruit drink and asked, "Did you make this?"

Chi Yu: "Yeah, learned from an assistant. It’s simple, and I tasted it before bringing it in; it’s not too sour."

Gu Yuan took a sip and said, "Mm, it’s delicious."
