Cheng Yu: "..."
He pressed my shoulders, turned me around, and then pushed me out of the bathroom.
Me: "..."
Won't even let me take a look?
There must be something fishy!
Soon the sound of water came from the bathroom. Although it had been quite hot recently, it was still unusual for someone to take a shower right after work. Besides, Cheng Yu usually took a shower before going to bed.
The more I thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.
I tiptoed to the bathroom door and gently turned the doorknob. Great!
He forgot to lock the door!
If I could catch him off guard, I might just see him naked. If there was any "evidence" he couldn't hide in time, I'd surely catch him red - handed!
When I pushed the door open, the warm mist in the bathroom, mixed with the scent of men's body wash, rushed towards me.
I walked in and saw the man under the showerhead. His body, perfect as a statue, was covered with some foam, which perfectly obscured his private parts. The water cascaded down his smooth - muscled body. Wow, his butt was so perky...
"Gulp."
Sorry.
I couldn't help but swallow.
Cheng Yu wiped the water off his face, opened his eyes, and saw me.
Cheng Yu: "..."
Me: "..."
Right now, didn't I look like a desperate pervert?
Cheng Yu's face, covered in water droplets, looked so inviting: "You're so eager to take a shower with me?"
I didn't dare to look any lower. I just scanned his chest muscles and neck: clear! Then I checked his back: clear!
There were no suspicious marks on his body for now!
Then, then, then I could relax. I could go out and wait for a while. When he wasn't paying attention, I could rummage through his clothes later—ah!
I was suddenly lifted by the waist and carried under the showerhead. The hot water drenched me. I screamed, "Ahh, my clothes are wet!"
"What are you afraid of?" Cheng Yu deliberately drenched my whole body and said maliciously, "Didn't you say the water bill was expensive? Then let's take a shower together."
Me: "..."
Oh my god.
He went to fill the bathtub with water!
How sinful.
We weren't even married yet, and we were about to take a couple's bath...
At this moment,
I felt like Agent 007, willing to sacrifice my dignity to obtain information.
Although it wasn't my intention, to avoid arousing his suspicion, I had to pretend to be interested: "Fine, I'll take a shower. Wait for me to take off my clothes first."
Oh.
This was the first time I'd be completely naked in front of Cheng Yu.
I was so shy that I couldn't even undo the buttons. Finally, I managed to take off my clothes by tugging and pulling, leaving only a set of white underwear. With my back to Cheng Yu, I just couldn't bring myself to take it off.
"Do you want me to help you take it off?" Cheng Yu was lying in the bathtub, looking at me teasingly, "You're shy."
Damn it.
The light was so bright.
How could I undress completely naked under his intense gaze.
I really couldn't do it!
Finally, I admitted defeat: "Turn your face away. You can turn back only after I get in."
Cheng Yu pursed his lips and smiled, then did as I asked.
I tremblingly took off my clothes and stepped into the water. Just as half of my body was submerged, he turned his face back. I screamed in fright, "Don't look, don't look—"
Then he hugged me, kissed me hard, and praised me. He said that while other girls waited for their boyfriends to apologize after a fight, I always took the initiative to cheer him up...
Sigh.
How good he was at finding an excuse for himself!
I wanted to deny it, but he was so enthusiastic that I could barely hold on to the edge of the bathtub. I almost fell into the water several times, only to be fished back into his arms and "bullied" again.
-
After the shower, Cheng Yu carried me back to the room.
He dried my hair and then went downstairs to cook.
Of course, I didn't forget about the "case" I needed to investigate. I sneaked into the bathroom and checked his clothes. Sure enough, I found a trace of foundation on the front of his shirt.
I smelled it.
Based on my years of experience using samples of various brands, I could tell it was Armani's Power Fabric foundation.
And this shade was obviously one degree darker than my usual No. 3. It was the No. 5 for healthy skin tones.
This Cheng Yu...
Just imagining him holding another woman in his arms and accidentally getting her makeup on him made my hands holding the clothes tremble. My heart was pounding, and my whole body couldn't stop shaking.
It couldn't be.
It couldn't be.
I threw the clothes away and sat back on the bed.
My mind went blank.
How had I become like this?
It was just a little bit of foundation. Maybe it was an accident?
Why was I so angry?
I had always tried to control my feelings, fearing that one day I'd become so dependent on someone that I couldn't leave him.
But what was this now?
How had I become such a pathetic mess!
Cheng Yu quickly came upstairs and handed me a cup of something. I looked up at him blankly and found that he was also holding a cup. It was the milk tea from the take - out place I had ordered from last time.
He never drank milk tea, but now he took a big sip on purpose and said to please me, "Hmm, it's delicious."
I took the milk tea from his hand. My palm was warmed by the cup, but my body was shivering.
Cheng Yu noticed something was wrong with me. He sat beside me, hugged me, and said, "Are you still angry? I'm sorry. I was wrong last time. You're right. Everyone grows up in a different environment, with different personalities and hobbies. Although I was thinking about your health, I'll give my opinions more gently in the future... Yinyin, you... are you crying?"
I lowered my head. I didn't know why, but my tears were dropping into the lid of the milk tea cup.
Cheng Yu immediately panicked: "I'm wrong, okay? Don't cry..."
I really wanted to throw the milk tea at him, but then I thought that no matter how angry I was, I couldn't waste the milk tea. So I put the milk tea aside and said to Cheng Yu, "What's the foundation on your shirt? Don't lie to me, Cheng Yu. Tell me, are you having an affair behind my back?"
I cried silently, just glaring at him hatefully, with big tears streaming down my face.
On one hand, I was disappointed in myself for not being able to control my emotions. On the other hand, I was afraid that I cared about Cheng Yu so much that I had lost my rationality.
Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, then hugged me lovingly: "That's why I took a shower as soon as I got home. This afternoon, after recording a show at the TV station, when I was leaving from the backstage, a heavily - made - up guy bumped into me... God... If you had doubts, you could just ask me. Why are you crying like this? It's okay, stop crying."
Me: "..."
A, a guy?
As if afraid I wouldn't believe him, Cheng Yu called a friend at the TV station. "Hey, Director Zhou, it's Cheng Yu. Could you do me a favor... Yeah, could you check the surveillance footage from the backstage this afternoon? Yes, the part where a guy bumped into me... Yeah, okay, waiting for you."
Me: There was even actual evidence like checking the TV station's surveillance footage?!!
Cheng Yu was angry. "I'm so hurt. You actually suspected me? We've been together for so long, and you have no trust in me at all."
Just now, I was ready to have a big fight with the cheating scumbag and act like I was going to die over such a trivial thing: "..."
I quickly stood up and bowed to Cheng Yu: "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
Cheng Yu: "..."
I let out a sigh of relief and took a big sip of the milk tea—
This was... bubble milk green tea, extra sweet?
It was delicious.
Well.
As long as I pretended nothing had happened, the embarrassment couldn't catch up with me.
