Asking for Benefits

Shu Pan deliberately lingered in the bathroom for nearly half an hour, until Gu Shaoting knocked on the door impatiently before she slowly emerged.

Lounging lazily against the headboard, Gu Shaoting had grown tired of reading in bed. Seeing her appear, his expression softened slightly, and he waved her over. "Come here."

Shu Pan stood still, then touched her hair. "I haven't dried my hair yet."

"You washed your hair yesterday. Why are you washing it again tonight? You've been at home all day, not sweating or anything," Gu Shaoting's snow-like face furrowed in a cold expression. "Hurry up. Look at the dark circles under your eyes..."

Shu Pan's face flushed with embarrassment, and she muttered softly, "Whose fault is it for these dark circles?"

Gu Shaoting smirked, then lowered his pillow.

Shu Pan covered her face in embarrassment. "It's still early."

Then she hurried to blow dry her hair.
