Chapter 1578: Chapter 1578: Move Aside, I’m About to Fall!
Rui Hui spoke without looking at Diwu Zexuan’s expression, walking straight to the wardrobe and reaching for a black shirt.
Just as she was about to take it out, she felt her hand being pressed down by Diwu Zexuan.
He picked up a white shirt from the side and handed it to her, “Wear this one.”
“…”
Rui Hui glanced at it. Apart from the color, there didn’t seem to be much difference.
She turned her head slightly to look at him and noticed his expression was still odd, but it lacked the earlier anger.
Nodding her head, she took the shirt and headed toward the bathroom.
It didn’t take long before she came out, having changed.
The shirt hung loosely on her, too big for her frame.
The cuffs were rolled up, revealing her fair arms.
The hem of the shirt barely covered her hips, exposing her long, slender legs.
Her long hair now hung down, wet and clinging to her shoulders, accentuating her delicate and petite features.
The sultry allure was replaced with a pure and clean charm unique to her.
He wasn’t wrong—white truly suited her.
Rui Hui’s personality was independent, but in matters of the heart, she was as pure as a blank canvas, waiting for someone to paint upon it…
Diwu Zexuan’s eyes flickered subtly.
“I’ll head back to my room to change,” Rui Hui twisted the cuff of the shirt, her unease evident.
She couldn’t shake the strange way Diwu Zexuan was looking at her. It was odd in a way she couldn’t quite place.
Instinctively, she felt it had to do with her wearing his clothes, making her eager to return and change out of them quickly.
She had just reached the door when her wrist was grabbed.
Turning around, she met Diwu Zexuan’s deep and profound gaze.
She blinked in confusion.
“I’m tired.”
Diwu Zexuan’s thin lips moved, uttering just two words.
“…”
Rui Hui froze for a few seconds before realizing what he meant.
“I’m just going to change clothes—it’ll be quick! And my hair is still wet; I really need to dry it first…”
“I’ll help you.”
Diwu Zexuan suddenly interrupted, his voice flat but commanding.
He pulled her back into the bathroom.
Grabbing the hairdryer, he began drying her hair.
Rui Hui stood in front of him, her slim figure stiff, completely still.
For a long while, she was too stunned to react.
Her tiny hands lifted several times, wanting to check if Diwu Zexuan’s forehead was hot, suspecting a fever, but she didn’t dare.
After all, him blow-drying her hair was so surreal it felt like something out of a fantasy.
It must be an illusion. It had to be.
Since it was an illusion, she might as well enjoy it.
Rui Hui didn’t overthink it; the thought of her “enslaving” Diwu Zexuan made her secretly delighted. If she had a tail, it would have been wagging proudly by now.
She closed her eyes in contentment, enjoying the moment as he dried her hair.
All things considered, warming his bed wasn’t too bad—she had at least managed to boss him around once.
Some of her pent-up frustration dissipated, little by little.
Soon, her hair was dry.
Diwu Zexuan placed the hairdryer aside, his tall frame suddenly pressing Rui Hui against the bathroom wall, his handsome face alarmingly close.
The oppressive aura was suffocating. Rui Hui shifted nervously, “Diwu Zexuan, what are you doing? Move—I’m going to fall!”
Her cherry-red lips were suddenly silenced by a single finger. Rui Hui looked up in shock, meeting his deep silver-colored eyes, which, for the first time, struck her with an unnatural fear.
The bathroom lighting was bright, yet she felt as if she was trapped in darkness, unable to find an escape route.
If he wanted to crush her, she wouldn’t even have the chance to resist.
A shiver ran through Rui Hui’s body. She pushed against his chest with trembling hands.
