Chapter 80: Mu Yi Is Taking a Bath
Heavy dark clouds covered the night sky. As thunder roared, the sky was torn apart again and again, while flashes of lightning briefly lit up the world.
Rainwater hit the ground, splashing small drops everywhere.
It was exactly ten o’clock at night.
At this moment, inside the Gu family house…
“Mmm...”
Mu Yi was staying in the room that the housekeeper, Aunt Lin, had prepared for her. Her expression looked complicated.
The clothes soaked by rain were still stuck to her body. The sticky feeling only made her even more irritated and restless.
She glanced at the neatly folded change of clothes beside the bed, but frowned and let out a quiet sigh.
Should she take a bath...
She already had clean clothes to change into, but she did not have sanitary pads. Although she only needed to ask Aunt Lin and she would definitely get some.
Mu Yi just could not bring herself to ask.
If this continued, she would probably catch a cold, then get a fever, then start coughing.
If that happened, could she take sick leave from work too?
Just as she was about to agree with this idea, alarm bells suddenly rang in her mind. She quickly shook her head like a rattle drum and threw away the terrible thought.
Being sick felt awful...
After thinking for a while, Mu Yi gathered her courage and stood up, preparing to look for Aunt Lin to ask for sanitary pads.
But at that moment, her phone suddenly rang.
It was Gu Zhiren calling!
Eh?
Mu Yi stared at the phone screen for a moment and scratched her hair hesitantly.
Why was he calling this late?
Mu Yi immediately thought of many possibilities. One of them was him reminding her to write her novel.
“Hello?”
“Are you free right now? I’m on my way to your room.”
His voice was still as gentle as ever.
“Eh, it’s already so late. Why are you coming to my room? What are you trying to do?”
Mu Yi asked cautiously.
If she were still a man, that would be one thing. But right now, she had a woman’s body.
“I’m bringing you something, I’m here already. If it’s convenient, open the door.”
Eh?
Something?
Mu Yi froze for a moment. After a short pause, she answered a few words and hung up. Then she walked toward the wooden door of the room.
Taking a deep breath, she turned the doorknob.
“What are you giving me?”
Looking at Gu Zhiren outside the door, now wearing a white T-shirt, Mu Yi tilted her head and asked.
“Here.”
Gu Zhiren straightforwardly handed her a pack of night-use sanitary pads.
“Ah... this... you...”
Mu Yi swallowed and took the pads.
“Hm? Why are you still wearing wet clothes? You’ll catch a cold like this.”
Gu Zhiren noticed that she still had not changed clothes and frowned worriedly.
Hearing this, Mu Yi puffed up her cheeks slightly and lowered her eyes to look at the sanitary pads in her hand. Then she turned sideways and stepped a little to the side.
“Come in first.”
“Mmm...”
Gu Zhiren thought for a moment, then firmly shook his head and refused. His tone was gentle but also casual.
“Why would I go inside? Hurry and take a bath already. Don’t really catch a cold.”
“Hey, if I’m telling you to come in, then just come in already. Are you scared I’ll eat you or something?”
Mu Yi blinked her eyes.
No matter how she looked at it, the one who should really be scared was obviously her.
She just did not want to admit it.
But now that she had become like this, in many situations, especially those kinds of unspeakable situations, she was naturally in a weaker position.
There was nothing she could do about it. A woman’s body was just like this. She would only end up helplessly being controlled by a man.
And become a complete mess.
Stories where the heroine defeats the male lead in the end might happen in novels, but in real life, that was basically impossible.
“Alright, I’ll come in.”
Gu Zhiren did not think too much about it.
She probably had something she wanted to say to him. Honestly, he was also curious.
Why did she insist on making him enter the room?
After Gu Zhiren entered, Mu Yi closed the door. Then she lowered her head and looked at the sanitary pads he brought before mumbling:
“Why do you even have these?”
“Hm?”
Gu Zhiren turned around and looked at Mu Yi with an amused expression. He casually said that he got them from Aunt Lin. Then he raised his eyebrows slightly and added,
“Looking at you, I knew you definitely wouldn’t ask Aunt Lin yourself. So I asked for you.”
“Uh...”
Mu Yi stayed silent for a moment and scratched her neck.
“If you feel embarrassed about it, then...” Gu Zhiren wrinkled his nose while thinking for a short moment, then lowered his eyes and smiled. “Just continue with the birthday gift we agreed on before. Record a video for me.”
Hearing this, Mu Yi surprisingly did not reject him immediately.
This had been the birthday gift she promised him from the start. Although he definitely had selfish thoughts behind it, she was the one who personally agreed to it.
If she could avoid recording it, of course that would be best. But if she backed out now, then she would become someone who broke her promises.
It was only a birthday gift anyway. Just one video.
“......”
Gu Zhiren’s lips moved slightly.
He had only been joking.
Actually, the video no longer mattered. The image of her walking out of the fitting room in the nun outfit was already deeply burned into his mind.
But seeing that she did not instantly refuse, was she really seriously considering it?
“Okay.”
Mu Yi clenched her pale little hands and nodded.
Gu Zhiren subconsciously replied in agreement at first, but then he suddenly realized what she said. He raised his eyes to look at Mu Yi, surprise, even shock, appearing in his narrow eyes.
“Then wait here for me. It’s hard to record alone, so help me film it later. I’m going to take a bath first.”
Mu Yi walked past him, took out one sanitary pad, grabbed her clean clothes, and quickly ran into the bathroom.
Shua—
She closed the bathroom door. Mu Yi closed her eyes and took a light breath before turning on the water.
Splash—
Warm water poured out from the white showerhead.
Mist slowly spread through the room, and the temperature gradually rose.
After placing her clean clothes and sanitary pads onto the bathroom rack, she quickly took off the sticky and heavy white sweater. Then she bent down carefully and removed the black leggings.
Her hands moved behind her back, undoing the hooks of her bra one by one. Her smooth skin, white like jade, slowly became fully exposed.
Her fingers hooked into her underwear and pulled it down slightly before stopping halfway.
With practiced movements, the girl removed the sanitary pad stained with traces of her period. She rolled it up and threw it into the nearby trash bin.
Only then did she fully remove her underwear and casually toss it into the basket on the floor.
By the time it landed on top of the wet clothes, Mu Yi had already stepped under the shower.
Her ten fingers rested lightly against her full chest. A faint blush spread across her fair face, while traces of fear appeared in her lowered eyes.
As time passed, that fear only kept growing.
“This feeling...”
This was a feeling she had never experienced before when she was still a man!
So being alone in the same room with a man while taking a bath was actually this frightening?
Mu Yi’s face turned pale.
She originally thought she could stay calm about it, but now she already wanted to back out...
How pathetic!
Shaking her head, she took a deep breath and lightly patted her chest.
Deep breaths, deep breaths, deep breaths...
