When Chen Shouyi returned to the bedroom, he wasn't nearly as nonchalant as he'd made himself sound.
The fact that nothing showed on his skin didn't mean there was no chance he'd been infected. Maybe the wound had been too small to detect.
He picked Shell Girl up and set her aside, then brushed away her scattered odds and ends.
