It sounded like the sound of a towel being wiped after the sound of running water stopped.

Honda Mio's heart skipped a beat.

Is Boss Weiming in the bathroom?

This realization made her cheeks flush instantly, and she instinctively wanted to back away immediately.

But for some unknown reason, perhaps it was the unspoken gratitude, or perhaps it was the inexplicable curiosity in the girl's heart, her steps seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move.

The bathroom door was also not completely closed.

Moisture seemed to be seeping out slightly from the crack in the door.

As if possessed, she tiptoed toward the bathroom door.

Every step felt like walking on cotton; my heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my throat.

She held her breath.

She stretched out her slightly trembling hand, her fingertips gently touching the cold handle of the bathroom door.

I hesitated for a few seconds.

Driven by an impulse she couldn't quite explain, she pushed open the door crack with extreme slowness, almost millimeter-level precision.

Then, her gaze pierced through the rising steam and she clearly saw the scene inside the bathroom.

His tall, upright figure stood with his back to the door, glistening water droplets clinging to his healthy skin, sliding down his smooth muscle lines and outlining a powerful silhouette.

Wei Ming was casually wiping his wet black hair with a large white towel, water droplets splashing onto the clean floor.

Honda Mio's mind went completely blank for a moment, as if the pause button had been pressed.

She knew she shouldn't have looked; she should have closed the door and run away immediately.

But my gaze was drawn to that figure as if by a magnet, unable to look away.

next second.

Just as the figure seemed to have finished drying his hair, he turned slightly to the side, preparing to wipe the other side of his body with a towel.

Honda Mio's gaze inadvertently swept downwards—and then, she was completely dumbfounded.

Even if it's just a fleeting glimpse.

That sense of presence, beyond her imagination and cognition, struck her confused mind like a thunderbolt.

"ah--!!!"

A short, almost off-key scream stuck in her throat.

Honda Mio's face flushed red from her cheeks to her ears, and even her neck turned an unnatural red.

She felt all the blood rush to her head.

My vision blurred, my hands and feet were ice cold, and only one thought remained in my mind—run!

We have to run right now!

And just then.

A voice with a playful and lazy laugh rang out from behind her, clearly reaching her ears.

"Oh my, isn't this Weiyang?"

Wei Ming's voice was hoarse from just taking a shower, yet it also carried a knowing and playful air.

"You've been secretly watching for so long, and only now you think of running away?"

The voice seemed to possess a magical power, causing Honda Mio to freeze in her tracks, overwhelmed by a wave of shame.

She could even picture the amusing smile on Wei Ming's lips right now, and wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground immediately.

"I...I'm so sorry! Boss Weiming! I didn't mean to! I...I just wanted to thank you for saving me yesterday..."

She gave a rambling, incoherent explanation.

Without daring to look back, she used all her strength to rush out of Weiming's room like a gust of wind, almost losing her shoes in the process.

...

Outside.

Shibuya Rin had just reached the door.

Then we saw Honda Mio rush out from inside, her face flushed and her expression flustered.

His hair was disheveled, his eyes were darting around, and he looked like he had been greatly frightened.

"Weiyang?"

Shibuya Rin quickly stepped forward to support her, her brows furrowed.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you run out of Boss Weiming's room? Didn't I tell you not to be reckless?"

"Ha...I..."

Honda Mio was panting heavily, her heart still pounding wildly.

The scene she had just witnessed was etched into her mind like a brand, making it impossible for her to think calmly.

She avoided Shibuya Rin's probing gaze, covered her burning cheeks with her hands, and stammered, "I...I just went in to take a look, but Boss Weiming...he's not in the room! Yes, he's not!"

"Not here?"

Shibuya Rin clearly didn't believe it.

She had clearly heard faint voices coming from the room, though she couldn't make out the content, but it was definitely Weiming's voice.

Moreover, given Honda Mio's appearance, it's hard to believe she just went in for a "look".

"Then why is your face so red? And why are you running so fast?"

Shibuya Rin pressed on, her eyes sharp.

"Did you do something you shouldn't have done?"

"No, no!"

Honda Mio hurriedly waved her hand, her eyes filled with even more panic.

She subconsciously touched the back of her burning cheek and made up an excuse.

"It's just that the sun was too strong, I got sunburned when I ran over here! Yes, it must be from the sun!"

The excuse was full of holes, and Shibuya Rin sighed helplessly.

Knowing that Honda Mio wouldn't tell the truth if she kept asking, and might even come up with an even more outrageous reason.

Seeing her friend's absent-minded appearance, she felt both worried and somewhat amused.

"Is Boss Weiming really not here?" Shibuya Rin asked again to confirm.

"No, it's not here!"

Honda Mio nodded immediately, as if she had found a lifeline, and quickly changed the subject, grabbing Shibuya Rin's hand.

"Alright, alright, Rin-chan, since Master Weiming isn't here, let's go back and play with everyone!"

As she spoke, she pulled Shibuya Rin towards the beach without saying another word.

My steps were still a little unsteady, but my mind kept replaying that fleeting glimpse I had just seen in the bathroom.

"horrible…"

These two words swirled in her mind like a spell, causing her cheeks to flush uncontrollably once again, and she even walked absentmindedly.

She secretly glanced at Shibuya Rin, who stood calmly beside her.

She secretly rejoiced that Shibuya Rin hadn't followed her inside; otherwise, the scene would have been unimaginable.

She didn't notice that after she and Shibuya Rin left, the door to Mimei's room was gently pushed open a crack.

A smiling gaze peeked through the crack in the door, watching their departing figures.

Wei Ming leaned against the door frame, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

He gently stroked his chin with his fingers, his eyes gleaming with cunning as he watched Honda Mio's hasty retreat.

"Tsk tsk, they saw it."

He muttered to himself, his tone revealing no embarrassment but rather amusement.

"However, the way Wei Yang blushes is quite cute."

He stretched, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, illuminating his figure and highlighting his perfect physique.
