    Of course, he should help!

    The little assistant had gone out to play, so only he and Yun Ge were left in the room.

    Now that Yun Ge’s clothes were almost completely off, should he actually help him put them back on instead?

    Not that it was impossible.

    Liu He thought for a moment, then started fastening the buttons.

    “Xiao He!” Yun Jingqiu called out loudly.

    “You really don’t want to help me take a shower?” he said, sounding aggrieved.

    “It’s not that I don’t want to
” Liu He hesitated, then finally let go of the buttons he was about to fasten, pulling Yun Jingqiu’s arm free from the sleeve.

    The clothes came completely off, revealing Yun Jingqiu’s body before Liu He’s eyes.

    He was dazzled, unable to look away.

    This was Yun Ge—the same Yun Ge he had seen through the phone screen—the one with tens of millions of fans, Yun Jingqiu.

    “You can touch if you like.” The voice came from above his head.

    Liu He snapped back to his senses, suddenly embarrassed: “Then
 I’ll touch?”

    But his hands moved faster than his words—no sooner had he spoken than his hand had already gone up.

    He couldn’t shake the feeling that he was acting like a pervert.

    Liu He froze and stopped.

    “Not going to keep touching?” Yun Jingqiu tempted him.

    Liu He hurriedly shook his head. “No, no, I’m not touching anymore.”

    “I’ll take you to the shower.” Liu He pushed Yun Jingqiu into the bathroom.

    There was an en-suite bathroom in the master bedroom.

    Liu He went in first to test the shower’s temperature, then called out, “Yun Ge, come in.”

    Yun Jingqiu raised a brow: “My pants aren’t off yet—am I supposed to shower like this?”

    Liu He had only taken off his shirt for him; the pants were still on.

    “You can take them off yourself. It’s not like you can’t use one hand to take off pants. I think you’re just doing this on purpose.”

    “Anyway, you’re going to look and touch later. What’s the big deal if you help me take my pants off?”

    Liu He stared at him for a long while before finally spitting out three words: “Shameless bastard.”

    Yun Ge’s skin was way too thick; he couldn’t bring himself to do something as private as taking off someone’s pants.

    What if he accidentally touched a place he wasn’t supposed to?

    Had Yun Ge not thought of that?

    Liu He turned around, his back facing Yun Jingqiu.

    As long as he didn’t see that dangerously tempting face, he wouldn’t fall for Yun Jingqiu’s tricks.

    “Hurry up and take them off!”

    Laughter came from behind, and Liu He’s ears turned red.

    Yun Jingqiu stared at his reddened ears for a long moment, then undid his belt.

    After a rustling of clothes, Yun Jingqiu finally said, “Alright.”

    Without a hint of caution, Liu He turned back around.

    He completely forgot that while turning away had avoided the risk of accidentally touching something while the pants were being removed—once they were off, he could see everything.

    He only managed a quick glance before jerking his eyes away.

    There was no way he could get through this shower!

    “Yun Ge, you’d better do it yourself.” Liu He was about ready to give up. “However you managed to shower yesterday, just do it the same way today.”

    “Yesterday, I washed with one hand by myself, but I felt like it wasn’t very clean.”

    Inside, Liu He wrestled with himself. He hesitated for a long while before finally sighing, extending a hand toward Yun Jingqiu. “Come here, I’ll help you wash.”

    He stood behind Yun Jingqiu this time, so he wouldn’t see things he shouldn’t.

    Hot water poured from above, soaking Yun Jingqiu’s skin, his hair wet and clinging to his scalp.

    His injured left arm was wrapped in waterproof plastic, keeping it dry.

    The water cascaded down his body, soaking his right arm, the droplets running along the muscle lines, gathering at his fingertips before dripping down.

    His arms were long, his fingers slender, his body proportions strikingly beautiful.

    Liu He scrubbed his back. “Wash the front yourself.”

    Yun Jingqiu didn’t press him to wash the front. With Liu He supporting his injured arm, he washed himself in front while saying: “Xiao He, do you know? When a person showers, their back is the most vulnerable part.”

    Liu He: “I didn’t know.”

    He had denied being a pervert way too loudly earlier. The truth was, he was a pervert!

    He was greedy for Yun Ge’s body!

    “When you’re showering, you never know what the person behind you might do. What if they suddenly get ideas
”

    Liu He shook his head quickly—he wasn’t like that!

    But despite being cautious, the shower water splashed and soaked him as well.

    When he entered, he had already taken off his jacket, leaving only a white T-shirt. Now the shirt was drenched, clinging to his skin, faintly showing the color underneath.

    It wasn’t cold, but wearing wet clothes felt uncomfortable.

    He worked the shower gel into foam and spread it across Yun Jingqiu’s skin.

    “Xiao He, want to wash together?” Yun Jingqiu invited. “I’ve got clean pajamas here. Stay the night, go back tomorrow.”

    Liu He was tired, not wanting to move much.

    The suggestion tempted him.

    After a pause, he nodded. “Alright.”

    He had finally been persuaded by Yun Jingqiu, choosing to stay over at his newly rented place for the night.

    His own clothes were wet. Returning to the dorm in this weather when the night air was chilly wasn’t ideal.

    Though he could borrow Yun Ge’s clothes, that still felt awkward.

    Liu He didn’t realize that whether he borrowed Yun Ge’s clothes to return to the dorm or wore Yun Ge’s new pajamas to sleep, it didn’t make much difference.

    If anything, the latter was even more intimate.

    No matter how cautious Liu He was, the fact remained: Yun Ge was undressed, and he was helping him shower. In this cramped, humid, and suggestive environment, surrounded by heat, it was inevitable that his eyes would stray where they shouldn’t.

    When the shower was finally finished, Liu He muttered, “I’ll dry you off.”

    The bath towel wrapped around that body—one that could only be described as perfect.

    Liu He shut his eyes tightly as he wiped away the water droplets.

    “Open your eyes.”

    But Liu He kept them shut, blindly rubbing him dry, crouching down to dry his legs.

    His hands brushed against him through the towel, and he froze.

    Above him came a sharp intake of breath, Yun Jingqiu’s voice raspier than before: “Xiao He, open your eyes.”

    Liu He snapped his eyes open, gave a hasty glance, then immediately wrapped the towel around Yun Jingqiu’s waist and stood up.

    He pushed Yun Jingqiu out of the bathroom, his voice low: “I need to be alone for a while.”

    “Not here.” Yun Jingqiu realized he had gone too far teasing him today. Clearing his throat, he said, “Go to the bedroom instead. I’ll stay in the bathroom.”

    But Liu He just lowered his head, refusing to leave.

    “Then go to the guest room?” Yun Jingqiu suggested. “There are two—Xiao Song is in one, and the other’s free for you.”

    “If you want the master bedroom, that’s fine too.”

    Finally, Liu He lifted his head, his apricot eyes damp and his face flushed. His gaze darted away as he asked: “Which room is the guest room?”

    “The one next to the master bedroom is empty. Across the hall is Xiao Song’s.”

    Liu He nodded and bolted.

    He left the master bedroom, heading into the guest room.

    The room was spotless, apparently unused—just a bare mattress on the bed, no sheets.

    He opened the wardrobe; it too was empty.

    Sitting down on the mattress, he took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

    Helping Yun Ge shower earlier had been far too much for him.

    To go from a relationship where they hadn’t even kissed yet, straight to helping him bathe—even knowing Yun Ge’s arm was injured—Liu He felt completely lost.

    When he finally settled his nerves, he remembered Yun Ge’s situation.

    With his left arm unusable, how was he going to put on pajamas?

    He shouldn’t leave someone who couldn’t manage daily life on his own struggling like that.

    But right now, he didn’t want to go back.

    Liu He’s heart was torn.

    Yun Jingqiu: Unable to manage daily life?

    After Liu He left, Yun Jingqiu also realized he had pushed him too far with the teasing today.

    At first, he’d only wanted help changing clothes, but when he saw Liu He’s adorably flustered reactions, Yun Jingqiu couldn’t resist pushing further, asking him to help with the shower.

    When the person you love shows such cute expressions right in front of you


    He had already worked very hard not to let himself get aroused.

    But when Liu He blindly rubbed him down with the towel, eyes tightly shut—Yun Jingqiu couldn’t hold back anymore, and ended up scaring him off.

    Would Xiao He think he was some kind of pervert?

    Yun Jingqiu removed the towel, pulled on his pajamas quickly.

    His excuse of being “unable to take care of himself” had just been a trick to coax Xiao He.

    But truthfully
 he was a pervert.

    If Xiao He was already frightened now, what would happen later?

    Yet his reactions had just been too irresistibly cute.

    Yun Jingqiu sighed, pulled out clean bed sheets with one hand, and walked to the door of the next room.

    He knocked. “Xiao He, let me help you put on the sheets.”
