Chapter 375: Invisible but Tangible (Part 1)_1
"It’s fine," Yang Ruxin had wrapped her clothes around herself, and the river water after the Start of Autumn was indeed quite chilly, "I’ll go back and change first. You all don’t go near the riverbank either. We can talk later."
"Hurry back home," Yang Baixiang waved his hand, "Don’t worry about the things over here."
Yang Ruxin then ran home, water dripping all the way. Erni, seeing the wretched state of Yang Ruxin, was startled but didn’t ask any questions. Instead, she helped her with hot water and new clothes.
It was only after Yang Ruxin sat in the steaming tub that she let out a comfortable sigh. Her small frame was already quite cold, and this plunge into the river probably made it worse. She had really overdone it just now.
However, she couldn’t just watch a living person die right before her eyes.
At that moment, Gu Qingheng’s voice came from outside, "Xinxin, how are you feeling?"
Yang Ruxin blinked, "Why don’t you come in and see for yourself?" she said, and even splashed some water playfully.
"Cough, cough..." No sooner had she spoken than Erni’s cough sounded, "Big sister, Gu Yao has brought some brown sugar over. I’ll go make ginger tea for you..." Then she ran off with heavy footsteps.
Embarrassment washed over Yang Ruxin as she realized she had forgotten Erni was still there, like a third wheel. She felt quite awkward.
"Are you sure you want me to come in?" Gu Qingheng’s face reddened slightly. He was, after all, a grown man. How could he not have thoughts about the woman he fancied? Though he had only heard the splashing of water, his mind was already filling with R-rated images.
"You won’t be able to see anything if you come in," Yang Ruxin said irritably, feeling grateful that he couldn’t see. Otherwise, with her unimpressive figure, she probably wouldn’t be able to hold his gaze.
