Chapter 158 Reaction (Part 2)

He glanced sideways at Xiao Hua, pursed his lips, and apologized, "Xiao Hua, I'm sorry."

Xiao Hua: "Huh?"

"I just... I mean..." Bai Mu found it difficult to speak, fearing that Xiao Hua would be disgusted with him. He kept apologizing, "Please don't hate me, I promise I won't do it again."

Xiao Hua glanced sideways at Bai Mu, "If you didn't react at all, I'd start to wonder if there's something wrong with you."

Bai Mu: "..."

Bai Mu took a deep breath and blurted out, "I need to use the restroom," and without waiting for Xiao Hua's response, quickly stepped into the bathroom, slamming the door shut behind him.

Xiao Hua took a step forward and sat on the bed. She lowered her eyes, savoring the moment, then suddenly laughed out loud.

"It's just a natural reaction, no need to freak out."

The bathroom had been quiet, with no sound of water for a long time. After Xiao Hua laughed, Bai Mu suddenly turned on the faucet, drowning out the silence with the sound of water.

Xiao Hua covered her mouth to keep from laughing, her shoulders shaking, still unable to stop.

Bai Mu acted like he was the victim here.

Xiao Hua was unconvinced. Wasn't it fun for both of us?

But this incident reminded her. She rested her elbow on her forehead, deep in thought. Does Bai Mu have that stuff in his storage?

It should be there, right? He grabbed everything from the mall, not missing a single thing, and later when the space expanded, he accepted everything without hesitation.

So it must be there.

Xiao Hua felt somewhat satisfied. This way, their future happiness would be secure.

Otherwise, if they went directly into battle, what if they got caught off guard?

Speaking of which, Su Mo and Luo Ning would also need it. Better safe than sorry.

Xiao Hua felt like she was being a really thoughtful and understanding friend.

Then she frowned again. She felt a headache coming on, unsure how to bring it up with Bai Mu.

Bai Mu seemed quite conservative. Would he be scared if she brought up such a topic?

Xiao Hua's mind was filled with countless thoughts, a naughty little train of thought running through her mind, unable to stop.

The sound of water in the bathroom abruptly stopped, and the room became quiet. Xiao Hua snapped out of her thoughts.

Then, Bai Mu's voice, sounding a bit awkward, came through the glass door, "Xiao Hua."

"Hmm?" Xiao Hua tilted her head. "What's wrong?"

There was a brief silence in the bathroom. Xiao Hua thought she didn't hear and was about to step closer when Bai Mu slowly spoke, "I didn't bring my clothes."

Xiao Hua was silent for a moment, remembering how Bai Mu had rushed in earlier, and couldn't help but laugh again.

Not just clothes, he didn't even bring a towel. He just rushed in.

The bathroom was quiet again. After a while, Bai Mu spoke with difficulty, "The T-shirt and pants are in the closet. The... underwear is in the bedside table."

"Okay," Xiao Hua responded lazily, turning to open the bedside drawer and start rummaging through it, without any hint of embarrassment.

She casually picked up a pair of underwear, "Is gray okay?"

"Okay."

She then walked a few steps to the wardrobe, opened the door, and casually picked out a white shirt and black trousers, ambling slowly to the bathroom door.

She knocked on the door, "I've got them."

The door was opened a crack from the inside, and Bai Mu leaned out half his body, reaching out to take the clothes from Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua glanced down at him lazily and chuckled, "See if they're okay."

Bai Mu's ears turned red again, he quickly replied "Okay," and immediately closed the door to return to the bathroom.

Xiao Hua didn't leave either, just leaned against the wall waiting for him.

In less than three minutes, the bathroom door lock clicked again, and Bai Mu came out dressed neatly.

Xiao Hua looked him up and down, her gaze finally resting on the collar of his shirt.

Bai Mu reached up to touch it, realizing he had missed a button, and quickly fastened it.

Xiao Hua noticed something was amiss, slightly raising an eyebrow as she looked at Bai Mu's face, "Don't you have your own space? Why did you need me to get your clothes?"

Bai Mu was at a loss for words, after a while he cleared his throat and said, "I forgot."

"Alright," Xiao Hua bought the excuse without question, after all, Bai Mu had indeed been quite irrational earlier, a momentary lapse was normal.

It couldn't possibly be that he did it on purpose, Xiao Hua was certain in her heart that Bai Mu was definitely not that kind of person.
