Chapter 2253: Chapter 2253
When Jiaojiao woke up the next day, she realized it was already past one in the afternoon, and she was immensely grateful that winter break had started.When she woke, she found she was the only one in bed, but from the living room, she occasionally heard Duan Xi’s voice, seemingly making phone calls.
Jiaojiao got out of bed. After a night’s rest, she felt much better, though there was still a faint soreness when she walked.
There was no en-suite bathroom in the room, so she had to come out of the room. With a creak of the door, Duan Xi, who was sitting on the sofa attending to matters, immediately looked over. He told the person on the phone, "Let’s leave it at this for now," then hung up and walked over with large strides.
He naturally reached out and pulled the blushing Jiaojiao into his arms, kissed her cheek gently, and asked tenderly, "Anywhere uncomfortable?"
Jiaojiao immediately shook her head, and with some reluctance, pushed him away, then turned to run to the bathroom.
Watching her retreating back as she fled, Duan Xi indulgently smiled but did not follow her.
In the bathroom, Jiaojiao first brushed her teeth and washed her face. Possibly, she was too preoccupied with embarrassment when she rushed in, not noticing the shelf by the sink.
It wasn’t until she finished washing her face and reached for the towel did she notice the swaying, all too familiar little clothes!
The little clothes were clearly washed. Because it was too cold outside, Duan Xi had hung them indoors where it was warm, and in just a morning, they were almost dry.
"..." Jiaojiao.
Looking at the little clothes fluttering freely before her eyes, the feeling was completely different from when she was a child and saw clothes that she dirtied and Duan Xi washed.
As a child, she truly felt embarrassed and ashamed.
