Chapter 143: Teasing You

"Xiao Hua," Bai Mu got down from the pull-up bar, turning to find Xiao Hua standing at the door, giving her a faint smile.

Bai Mu was now wearing a sports tank top, his chest heaving, muscles expanded all over his body, still in the throes of his workout.

Xiao Hua didn't step inside, just called from the doorway, "Dinner's in half an hour."

"Alright," Bai Mu nonchalantly grabbed a towel from the nearby rack, wiping the sweat from his forehead, then strode after Xiao Hua.

Even from a distance, Xiao Hua could feel the heat emanating from Bai Mu, along with the musky scent of his sweat.

She glanced sideways, noticing Bai Mu's current attire, "Do you need to shower?"

Bai Mu nodded, walked to the bedroom door and opened it, then turned to look at Xiao Hua, his voice low and teasing, "Xiao Hua, would you come in and wait for me?"

Xiao Hua hesitated for a second, then nodded in agreement.

The two were in a somewhat ambiguous stage now, so her entering wasn't unusual.

Xiao Hua stepped directly into the room, sitting down on the sofa. Seeing this, Bai Mu's eyes sparkled with amusement as he closed the door and turned back into the room.

Bai Mu didn't shy away from Xiao Hua, heading straight to the wardrobe to grab his change of clothes. Xiao Hua casually glanced over, just catching sight of a pair of pure black underwear in his hand.

Xiao Hua: "..."

Xiao Hua quickly looked away, pretending nothing had happened.

Bai Mu, holding his clothes, walked up to Xiao Hua, lowering his head, his eyes smiling, "I'm going to shower."

"Mm," Xiao Hua slightly tilted her head up, calmly meeting Bai Mu's gaze.

A flicker of disappointment crossed Bai Mu's eyes, and he asked reluctantly, "Nothing to say?"

Xiao Hua's eyes gleamed with mischief, crooking her finger at him, "Come here."

Bai Mu obediently leaned down, and Xiao Hua pulled him close to her, her lips near his ear, murmuring softly, "What do you want to hear? That I want your body?"

Bai Mu's breath hitched, and he abruptly straightened up.

Xiao Hua leaned back slightly, resting against the sofa, staring directly at him without any reservation.

A faint blush crept up from Bai Mu's ears, gradually coloring his cheeks. His eyes flustered, not daring to meet Xiao Hua's gaze, he quickly turned and headed to the bathroom.

"I, I'm going to shower."

Xiao Hua laughed freely, catching a glimpse of Bai Mu's fleeing figure from the corner of her eye, continuing to tease, "Don't put on clothes after showering, let me have a look."

Bai Mu stumbled slightly, then hurried into the bathroom, slamming the door shut with a "bang."

So innocent?

It seems she'll have to take the initiative in the future, Xiao Hua thought, feeling inexplicably expectant.

Bai Mu stayed in the bathroom for quite a while, the sound of water running continuously.

Xiao Hua didn't pay it much mind, starting to seriously examine the room.

She had been here once or twice before, but back then she hadn't had any thoughts, coming over just to discuss tasks, naturally not paying much attention to the private space of the opposite sex.

But now, things had changed.

Xiao Hua stood up and looked around openly, without a trace of guilt.

Bai Mu's bedroom was immaculately tidy, with everything neatly organized and the bed sheets meticulously arranged, way better than her own room.

Truth be told, Xiao Hua's room wasn't that messy, just a bit haphazard with some small items.

Xiao Hua strolled over to the bedside table and opened the drawer, finding it utterly empty.

She was momentarily taken aback, but then remembered Bai Mu's space and stopped finding it strange.

The room was pretty much empty, with nothing worth a second glance. After a quick look around, Xiao Hua plopped back down on the sofa, waiting for Bai Mu to come out.

Bai Mu was really dragging his feet, and after what felt like forever, she finally heard the click of the bathroom door unlocking.

Xiao Hua turned to look and saw Bai Mu stepping out of the steamy mist, wearing gray pants that reached his ankles, highlighting his long, well-defined legs.

Moving up, his chiseled abs, a chest that slightly jutted out, and an enticing collarbone were exposed.

He was shirtless.

Xiao Hua arched an eyebrow, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.
