Chapter 160: Tea Tea, Be a Little More Obedient

"Ruan Cha, close your eyes."

In the empty bedroom, the man's low, husky voice resonated.

Only then did Ruan Cha snap back to reality.

She obediently closed her eyes and even turned around.

At the moment she turned, she heard Gu Zhenzhi let out a low chuckle.

When he slowly walked up to Ruan Cha, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he leaned down and kissed her forehead, saying in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I won't wash."

"Then you..."

Before Ruan Cha could finish, she heard Gu Zhenzhi continue, "Since you want to pamper Brother Zhizhi properly, go and prepare something for him to eat."

"All right."

Ruan Cha went downstairs to prepare some light food, but when she brought it back up, Gu Zhenzhi had not yet emerged from the bathroom.

She placed the tray on the table, only to hear the sound of cascading water coming from inside the bathroom.

Ruan Cha's heart skipped a beat with anxiety.

Didn't he say he wasn't going to take a shower?

Why was he—

She hurried over to the bathroom door, raised her hand, and knocked. "Brother Zhizhi, what are you doing? Why are you taking a shower again? Your wound was just bandaged, you mustn't get it wet..."

Just as her voice trailed off, a voice that was hoarse to the extreme drifted from inside the bathroom, "Cha-cha, be a good girl."

Ruan Cha's ears instantly tingled with numbness.

Gu Zhenzhi's words ground against her ears repeatedly, playing over and over like an infinite loop.

Could Gu Zhenzhi be...?

Certain images suddenly flashed through Ruan Cha's small mind.

Her eyes widened abruptly.

Her hand, which had been resting on the bathroom door, pulled back hastily as if it had been scorched by fire—

Ten minutes later, Gu Zhenzhi finally emerged from the bathroom.

His features remained refined and noble, his figure tall and straight, with a bath towel wrapped securely around his waist.

By now, the bedroom lights were fully illuminated, casting a soft, radiant halo around his entire form.

Seeing him come out, Ruan Cha instinctively rushed over to check his back.

Fortunately, there wasn't much water on his back; only the gauze looked faintly damp.

Noticing that Ruan Cha had already placed the food on the table, Gu Zhenzhi walked over and sat down on the edge of the bedroom sofa.

"Careful with your back!"

Ruan Cha's gaze tracked his movements, and seeing him about to lean against the sofa backrest, she quickly stepped forward to prevent it.

After Gu Zhenzhi sat down and crossed his legs, Ruan Cha, who had just approached his side, was suddenly pulled by the arm. Her body tumbled right onto his lap.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, his ink-black eyes sweeping over the items on the table. "Didn't Cha-cha want to pamper Brother Zhizhi?"

Ruan Cha didn't understand what Gu Zhenzhi meant at first, but after carefully savoring the implication behind his words, her cheeks puffed out slightly. "Gu Zhenzhi, can't you just say what you mean directly?"

No sooner had she spoken than the man licked his lips, a chuckle escaping from his throat. "What do you know? This is called romance."

Ruan Cha's earlobes turned crimson.

Her heart pounded like a drum. "You're seducing a minor right now."

Gu Zhenzhi replied, "Can a minor be seduced?"

Ruan Cha was almost deceived by his composed and impeccably dressed facade.

She hesitated for a few seconds. "Weren't you supposed to be the epitome of coldness and detachment? How come now..."

It even felt as though the temperature in his palms had grown scalding hot.

Previously, whenever Ruan Cha held his hand, his fingers were always ice-cold with barely any warmth—someone unaware might have thought something was wrong with him.

"If I had treated my own girlfriend the way I used to, are you sure you would still be with me?"

Gu Zhenzhi reached out with a slender finger and hooked the girl's chin.

Hearing this, Ruan Cha thought about it seriously. "If you were still like you used to be, I'd have to start considering polyandry..."
