After drying his hair, Ge Dongxu muttered a thank you and then fled the bathroom as if escaping.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

There was no helping it; the bathroom was cramped. Standing in front of the mirror, with each breath Ge Dongxu took, he could smell that incredibly nice fragrance.

Once out of the bathroom, Ge Dongxu picked up the clothes Liu Jiayao had left on the bed and was about to change in the living room bathroom. He had just picked them up when Liu Jiayao stopped him, saying, "Wait a moment before you change; you can't wear the underwear directly, it needs to be washed first."

"They're new and clean," Ge Dongxu, who had grown up in a mountain village, replied naturally.

"What do you know, underwear is worn close to the skin. Even if they are new, you can't just wear them without washing," Liu Jiayao exclaimed, snatching the clothes from Ge Dongxu's hands and pulling out a pair of men's underwear.

"Really, it's not a problem, otherwise, I…" Ge Dongxu was stunned upon hearing this. The underwear needed to be washed; what was he supposed to do? He couldn't possibly wear his pants with nothing underneath.

"Just keep wearing the bathrobe. I'll wash it for you quickly and then blow it dry," Liu Jiayao, seeing the dumbfounded look on Ge Dongxu's face, probably guessed what he was thinking, her face blushing slightly as she spoke.

"Okay then, I can do it myself," Ge Dongxu replied, seeing as Liu Jiayao had offered, he couldn't continue to insist. Otherwise, it would seem like he, the country bumpkin, was being unrefined. He reached out to take back his clothes to wash and dry them himself.

"Enough, no need to be so formal with me! Besides, washing and cleaning up is really a woman's job," Liu Jiayao said decisively, pushing Ge Dongxu away.

"But, but those are my underwear, isn't it inconvenient for you to wash them…," Ge Dongxu stammered, his face turning red. He wanted to say that they were his underwear and it might be inappropriate for a girl to wash them.

"Oh, come on, you're still a kid. What do you know about being meticulous?" Liu Jiayao chided, giving Ge Dongxu an exasperated look.

"Sister Liu, I'm already sixteen years old, I'm not a child!" Ge Dongxu felt provoked by Liu Jiayao's words and immediately retorted, feeling indignant.

Liu Jiayao paused slightly, taken aback by Ge Dongxu's strong reaction, but quickly pursed her lips and smiled.

"What are you laughing at? I have my ID card and everything." Being sixteen, Ge Dongxu hated when older people called them children, especially because he was a capable young man and disliked being treated as a child. Therefore, seeing Liu Jiayao laugh made him even more annoyed.

Liu Jiayao stopped smiling, walked over to Ge Dongxu, and gently hugged him. Her cherry-like lips lightly kissed his forehead and said, "Silly boy, it was my mistake. You are definitely not a child! Does that satisfy you now?"

Ge Dongxu froze completely, unaware of when Liu Jiayao let go of him or when she took his underwear and entered the bathroom.

After a long while, Ge Dongxu finally touched the spot where Liu Jiayao had kissed him, dazedly walked back to the living room in his bathrobe, and sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

All his life, except for being kissed by his mother when he was little, no girl had ever held him and kissed him like that. Even his mother, since he had grown up to the age of twelve or thirteen, would no longer make such affectionate gestures, at most she would pat his head.

But today, Liu Jiayao not only hugged him but also kissed his forehead. Her tender words echoed in his ears, sounding like the voice of a soul enticer. Just thinking about it made him feel as if his soul was being hooked away. A strange feeling indescribable in words was rippling through Ge Dongxu's heart.

Although that odd feeling was indescribable in words, it carried a magical power that was mesmerizing, made one's heart beat faster, and brought a sweetness, truly sweet as honey.

It was not until Ge Dongxu heard the sound of a hairdryer coming from the master bedroom that his soul seemed to return to his body, restoring normalcy.

"Ge Dongxu, you are actually just a sixteen-year-old high school student, really just a big kid, Sister Liu wasn't wrong, don't overthink it," Ge Dongxu admonished himself silently, finally regaining his composure.

"All right, go change," Liu Jiayao soon walked out of the master bedroom, handed the underwear to Ge Dongxu, and despite a slight redness on her pretty face, her demeanor was casual as if such interactions were normal between them, without anything to be taboo about.

"Thank you, Sister Liu." Ge Dongxu took the underwear and then went to the restroom in the living room with his clothes.

At that time, Li Ning sportswear was still quite trendy, certainly not as commonplace as it is now. Especially for someone like Ge Dongxu, from a lower county, Li Ning sportswear could even be worn as a new outfit for the New Year.

Ge Dongxu actually had quite a handsome face, with a high nose and bright eyes, and because he was growing tall, his body looked slightly lean, but overall very well-proportioned, giving him a vigorous appearance, not the delicate type of scholar without physical strength.

The only thing that made city people look down on Ge Dongxu at first glance was his skin, as he often helped his parents with farming in the village, which had darkened his skin. At that time there wasn't any talk of a healthy tan or malt color, generally, dark skin was seen as a sign of hard labor.

In this regard, many people in Asian countries shared the same view as those in Huaxia Country. For example, in the Philippines, generally, only the wealthy class had lighter skin, with most people having darker skin than those in Huaxia Country. Therefore, some moderately wealthy Filipinos did not like it when others commented on their dark skin, as it implied they were still poor. Even some wealthy Filipinos specifically took certain medications and injections to whiten their skin, to appear more noble rather than poor. This was actually a kind of psychological oddity.

In this respect, people in Western countries felt the same, but just the opposite to the Filipinos. For instance, in England, where it's almost always cloudy and seldom sunny, the common working class has very pale skin. Whereas the wealthy, who often have the chance to go on vacation and spend time at the beach getting roasted, frequently ended up with tanned skin. Therefore, for the British, you couldn't compliment them on having pale skin, being tanned was a status symbol for them. Some even went to the extent of desperate sunbathing in their own yards during vacations when they couldn't afford to travel, just to appear as though they had gone on vacation.

I digress, but anyway, Ge Dongxu's dark skin didn't look like that of a city person, inevitably causing people to look down on him. Coupled with his rustic attire, it was even more likely for people to underestimate him.

Now that Ge Dongxu had changed into a Li-Ning brand tracksuit, except for his dark skin, not only did he look much more spirited, but also significantly more handsome, causing even Liu Jiayao to briefly lose her composure and laugh, "You actually look quite handsome!"
