Lu Xiao's tall frame shielded Wen Xian, his arm protectively around her.
Turning his head to look at Huo Qi, who suddenly appeared at the door, he could no longer contain a roar of anger, "Get out!"
Huo Qi took steps backward, his throat painfully constricting, before he abruptly turned and ran away swiftly.
But the scene still lingered in his mind—!
Lu Xiao was indeed in her room; yes, even though he was fully clothed, Wen Xian—
A pile of towels lay at her feet.
If he hadn't guessed wrong, she was—completely naked!
There she stood, bare in front of that man!
What was this, and how long had it been going on...!
Huo Qi felt utterly disoriented, not knowing how he got downstairs and hurried away from the place.
Every bit of hope he had retained in his mind completely collapsed.
Although she repeatedly said she had no feelings for him, didn't like him, he knew deep down it was true.
Yet he still persisted, still hoped that one day she would see his dedication.
But now.
