Chapter 68: Not Alright
In a narrow bathroom, two bodies were stuck in close proximity.
The warm water coming from the shower head, raining down over Henrietta’s head, filled the space with a thin layer of steam. But just as the steam blurred their view, Henrietta’s mind was just as fogged.
’Eh... I... What am I...’
It was like her brain hit pause and skipped everything that led up to this moment.
"Hmm... The dirt isn’t falling off with just water alone," Xu Tao, who was the one holding the shower head, muttered in disbelief. "Looks like we need to scrub it away."
"...!"
Although she missed what happened midway, she still understood that this current situation wasn’t good. She and Xu Tao were in the shower, both wearing nothing but a thin, wet towel around their bodies.
While Henrietta’s mind drifted into the pink zone, Xu Tao was getting puzzled.
Back when he cleansed his meridians and removed impurities from his bones, marrows, blood, and everything else—he just dipped in a river and rubbed all of the caked black "mud" off.
But this time, it wasn’t his body, but his disciple’s. He couldn’t just get rough with her without warning, nor did he think he should. As such, he decided on the only appropriate option.
He reached out gently, a wet towel in his hand—a separate one from what he was wearing, of course—and with a touch as light as a feather, gently tapped Henrietta’s skin.
