When Ouyang Feifei came out after her bath, Luo Ziling had already tidied up and was sitting in the upstairs drawing room, drinking tea.
He had brewed the tea himself and, upon seeing Ouyang Feifei emerge, he self-deprecatingly said, "I sneaked some of your fine tea, don't mind me."
"Take a bath, rest a bit, then head back," Ouyang Feifei suggested with a smile as she sat down beside Luo Ziling.
The fragrance of Ouyang Feifei's post-bath perfume wafted over to him, making Luo Ziling's heart race a little faster.
"I should get going, I still have things to do," Luo Ziling hurriedly said as he remembered that Chen Wanqing had asked him over for an English tutorial.
In the past, being around Ouyang Feifei always made him feel constrained, so he disliked being alone with her.
In recent days, however, he felt that their interactions had somehow subtly changed,
and he didn't want to stay alone with Ouyang Feifei any longer for fear of where this strange new feeling might lead.
