Chapter 6 - 1.6 The Most Special Person
When Ren Zexi woke up the next day, it was already late in the morning. The sun poured in through the gaps of the curtain and the bed was already empty, the person who slept with him last night was nowhere to be found. Not even his body temperature remained on the mattress. Ren Zexi even wondered whether everything was just a dream if not for him being in Lu Yizhou's room.
"Good morning, Young Master." Butler An was waiting for him outside the room, smiling courteously as always.
"G—Good morning, Butler An..." Ren Zexi blushed, especially when he realized he was busted sneaking into Lu Yizhou's room in the middle of the night. "Um...may I ask where Uncle Lu is? He's not inside..."
"Master Lu has always woken up early." The butler answered. "He's waiting for you to have breakfast. If you want to get him, you can go to the swimming pool we visited last night."
"Uncle Lu is waiting for me?" Ren Zexi's eyes rounded. Then he had to hurry! After hastily washing his face and brushing his teeth, he dashed to the swimming pool just outside of the fifth floor.
A slender figure was seen frolicking inside the pool, his fair skin glistened under the sun. He glided smoothly through the water, his movement wasn't large yet there was an unspeakable elegance and beauty to it. Once again, Ren Zexi felt as if he was almost blinded. How could someone shine so brightly? Was Uncle Lu actually wasn't a human but an angel instead? En, it was possible...
Amidst his wild speculation, he got close to the edge of the swimming pool and shouted. "Uncle Lu!"
Lu Yizhou stopped and gave him a discreet glance. Then the man swam to his side and took off his goggles, raking his fingers through his sparkling light colored hair. Water cascaded down his body and droplets of it still clung to him, as if hated to separate. He blinked, his damp eyelashes looked dark golden under the light. "Do you sleep well?"
Ren Zexi snapped out of his daze and withdrew his gaze. "V—Very well... Uncle Lu, why are you swimming so early in the morning?"
"It's refreshing." He received a bathrobe from the servant by the side and wore it loosely on his body without tying the sash, letting his wet, firm chest exposed just like that. "Are you hungry?"
Ren Zexi held his stomach and nodded bashfully.
