Careful

He Zifeng slowly put her down on the sofa, then unwrapped her from the towel.

Chen Kaori looked up at him with pitiful eyes and a pout. She was shivering as her long flowy dress then became a lump of wet fabric.

He Zifeng frowned, then moved her shoulders so she would turn her back on him. He swiftly pulled down on the zipper of her dress, then moved parts of the fabric until everything fell to the floor. He gulp as he looked at her naked back, with only her panties on.

Chen Kaori blushed. The cold water had already made her a bit sober, but she cannot take back her demanding words in the bathroom.

He Zifeng picked up the towel he threw on the sofa and started patting her skin, carefully drying her back.

Chen Kaori crossed her arms to cover her breasts as she felt exposed. She was startled at his gesture of drying her skin with the towel.

There was a deafening silence between them. The subtle noise of the towel tapped gently on her back can be heard.

He Zifeng moved the towel up her shoulders to her slender neck, then up to her hair. Her dark strands of hair were rubbed with the towel.

He Zifeng's frown deepened when he noticed that she continued to shiver. He draped the towel over her shoulders and back, then went back to the bathroom to get more towels.

Chen Kaori pulled the towel closer to herself and fully covered the front area which she was trying to wrap with her arms. She knew her breasts are relatively small in size, but as a woman, being half-naked in front of the man she loves made her embarrassed and insecure at the same time.

He Zifeng came back hurriedly and directly went on to dry her hair. Unsatisfied with the slow results, he grabbed the hair dryer from the bathroom and tried the effects on her hair after making her sit on the sofa.

Chen Kaori felt her cheeks warm up as the hot air dries her hair. She could tell that his fingers were extra careful in handling her locks.

When her hair was done drying, He Zifeng cleared his throat. "You...don't drink again in the future."

Startled, she made a swift turn to face him. "Huh?"

He frowned as she seemed to not have heard his order.

She shifted her reaction to a sweet smile. "Can I still drink when I'm with you?"

He turned his blushing face away then almost shoved a small packet to her. "Go change," he said, then turned around to go back into the bathroom.

Chen Kaori felt her face was flushed when she saw that what he handed her was a disposable underwear. She heard the sound of the shower running and concluded that he was bathing. She quickly changed into the packaged item and the bathrobe he also placed on the coffee table.

She took an extra sheet and blanket from the closet and prepared to make the sofa her bed.

Seconds after closing her eyes to sleep, she felt water droplets one after another falling on her face.

When she opened her eyes, He Zifeng was staring down on her with water dripping from his hair. She gasped before she could help it.

"You should sleep on the bed," he declared.

"No...you have jetlag. You should sleep soundly on the bed," she argued.

"How can I sleep soundly knowing I made a woman sleep on the sofa?!" He moved to get closer to her face.

Chen Kaori pouted her lips then suddenly wrapped her arms around his nape and shoulder area. "Sleep with me then." Her inhibitions were already back, but she knew she will never get the chance to get that close to him ever again.

"Okay." He Zifeng pulled onto her arm and carried her torso on one of his shoulders.

"Eh! Really...hey, we're really going to bed?!" Chen Kaori was startled and was squirming in no time.

Her slender frame slightly bounced as he threw her onto the bed from his shoulder, as if she was a bag of flour he was carrying.

She observed as he covered her with the blanket then he lied on the other side of the bed.

He Zifeng turned off the bedside lamps then ordered, "Sleep now."
