Having become lovers with Chen Xi just like that, Lin Yue felt that everything was so beautiful it was unbelievable. She wouldn't even have dared dream of something like this.
She pinched her cheek. It hurt a little.
"Are you done washing yet? I want to wash too. I'm covered in sweat."
Chen Xi's urging voice came from outside the door, and Lin Yue shouted back, "Almost!"
After turning off the shower, Lin Yue casually dried herself, put on her pajamas, wrapped a towel around her head, and walked out.
But the moment she pushed open the door, Lin Yue froze in her tracks—Chen Xi was standing beside the door, wearing nothing but a thin bath towel, leaning there and waiting boredly for her.
"You're out?" Chen Xi raised an eyebrow slightly and reached out to pull open the bathroom door.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Seeing this, Lin Yue hurriedly pushed against the bathroom door with both hands, bracing it shut in front of her.
"What now?" Thinking she might have slipped up somewhere and Lin Yue had noticed something suspicious, Chen Xi asked in confusion.
"Y-You're only wearing a bath towel?" Lin Yue poked half her head through the crack in the door, her pretty face crimson.
"Huh?" Chen Xi was so annoyed that she laughed instead.
She remembered perfectly well that in the previous worldline, when she and Lin Yue had first met, Lin Yue had been the one to swagger out into the living room wrapped in nothing but a bath towel.
So why had their roles been reversed now, with her becoming the shy one instead?
Could it be that Lin Yue had actually set this rule herself using Dominion?
That seemed to make sense. After all, more misunderstandings and ambiguous friction could always make a relationship
