Chapter 55 - 54 What’s the Baby Doing?
Jiang An took a taxi back to school and arrived at 8 p.m. With graduation approaching and the busy errands of her three roommates, they were almost all out, and Xia Zi, who had always lived on campus, had gone home. In the dark, Jiang An flipped the switch on the wall, and the dim light barely illuminated the entire dormitory. The girl quickly tidied up her bed because she couldn’t bathe due to an injury, so she fetched a basin of water and entered the bathroom to simply wipe down her body. Removing her clothes, the girl clumsily dampened a towel, looked down, and gently wiped her chest and back, a cool sensation flooding her entire body, finally dispelling the stickiness from the journey.
Lifting her head, the girl saw her blurred reflection in the mirror, her deep eyes shimmering with waves. Her movements suddenly froze, and she struggled to produce a bashful smile at herself in the mirror. Her black hair covered her cheeks, and it took several seconds to notice an unwitting blush on her face.
Suddenly, a voice emerged in her heart, questioning herself, would Dr. Gao like her? Such an ordinary her?
Even if her answer to herself was negative, deep down she still preserved hope, wishing she would be that one-in-a-million chance.
Jiang An had been a complete novice in love all her life, with a severe lack of experience in liking someone, her knowledge about love derived almost entirely from romance novels she had read and from friends around her who were in relationships. She didn’t even know how to define liking someone.
All she knew was that she liked being with Dr. Gao, who now held an irreplaceable place in her heart.
When she couldn’t see him, she thought of him, and when she did see him, she was too shy to come close—a feeling she seemed never to have had before.
As she mused and realized she was grinning foolishly at herself in the mirror, Jiang An quickly came back to her senses and swiftly finished wiping her body, changing into her pajamas with one hand, and started to tidy up the bathroom.
Only after being busy with everything did she leisurely lie on her bed, take out her phone from her already pocket, and notice a few unread messages, including two from Gao Chuan.
