Upon hearing Lin Caiwei say that he could go in, Chen Hao took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

As darkness enveloped everything, my other senses immediately became acute.

He could hear the faint sound of water dripping in the bathroom, smell the rich, moist scent of shower gel in the air, and a faint... unique body fragrance belonging to Lin Caiwei.

He reached out and groped around, turned the bathroom doorknob, pushed the door open, and carefully stepped inside.

The floor tiles underfoot were cool, dry, and non-slip, unlike the carpet in the bedroom outside.

In the bathroom, Lin Caiwei sat on the wet bathroom floor with her back to the door.

Despite the excruciating pain in her right ankle that turned her pale and sent cold sweats down her face, she endured it.

Try to turn your body inwards, with your back facing the door, while tightly hugging your chest with both arms to cover your body and minimize exposure.

She bit her lower lip and turned her head nervously toward the door.

As expected, Chen Hao kept his eyes closed, his expression serious and cautious. One hand was slightly outstretched, groping forward, while the other hand held the pink bathrobe.

He walked slowly, tentatively landing with each step, as cautiously as a blind person.

Seeing that Chen Hao actually kept his promise and came in with his eyes closed, Lin Caiwei's tense nerves relaxed a little, and her evaluation of Chen Hao quietly rose a point.

At least, he is a trustworthy and respectful gentleman who did not take advantage of the situation.

She noticed a low stool that Chen Hao usually used to place his change of clothes on, not far ahead, and quickly called out to remind him:

"Watch out! There's a low stool in front of you, don't trip!"

Chen Hao paused in his groping movements, immediately took half a step to the side, avoiding the unseen obstacle, and whispered:

"Thanks."

He continued groping forward, then asked, "Caiwei, where are you? I can't see you."

Lin Caiwei endured the pain and tried her best to make her voice sound as steady as possible:

"I'm inside, by the shower. I... I can't stand up. Just hand me my bathrobe."

"it is good."

Chen Hao responded and, following the direction from which her voice came, slowly and tentatively moved forward.

Soon, his fingertips touched the cool, smooth glass surface.

It is a shower enclosure glass door that separates the wet and dry areas.

He felt along the glass and quickly found the doorknob.

He grasped the handle and gently pulled open a glass door.

A warmer, more humid steam mixed with the scent of shower gel wafted over.

He guessed that Lin Caiwei should be not far inside the door, so he stretched his arm holding the bathrobe inside and extended his hand forward.

"The bathrobe is here," Chen Hao said, his eyes still closed.

Lin Caiwei looked at the bathrobe so close to her, and at Chen Hao's tightly closed eyes, head turned to the side, completely avoiding any indecent gaze.

The last bit of wariness and embarrassment in my heart dissipated, replaced by a mixture of gratitude and... a warmth that was hard to describe.

He is very thoughtful and a gentleman.

Despite the increasingly intense pain in her ankle, she tried her best to maintain the position with her back to the door, and reached out one hand to take the bathrobe that Chen Hao handed her.

"Thank you." Her voice trembled slightly from the pain.

"Did you get it?" Chen Hao asked to confirm.

"I got it," Lin Caiwei said.

"You...you turn your back now, okay?"

"Okay." Chen Hao replied without hesitation, keeping his eyes closed, and slowly turned around, facing away from the shower room.

Lin Caiwei breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that he did as she was told.

She looked down at her disheveled appearance, then at her right ankle, which was visibly swollen and red from the pain, and gritted her teeth.

Now is not the time to be shy; I need to wrap myself in my bathrobe first.

Despite the excruciating pain, she struggled to move her body, unfolded the large pink silk bathrobe, and then tried to wrap her upper body in it as much as possible.

Unable to stand up, she could only manage to wrap the upper part of her bathrobe tightly around her chest, tying a knot to make sure it wouldn't slip down.

As for the lower body... sitting on the slippery ground, the hem of the bathrobe was spread out, although it couldn't cover everything, at least the key parts were covered.

After doing all this, she was in so much pain that her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and her breathing was a little rapid.

"Okay...okay." She took a breath and said to Chen Hao, who had his back to her.

"You can open your eyes now. Come here... help me to the bedroom bed. I... I can't walk by myself."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao slowly opened his eyes, adjusted to the bright light in the bathroom, and then turned around.

The sight before him made his heart tighten slightly.

Lin Caiwei leaned against the slippery corner of the shower room, wrapped in the pink bathrobe he had found for her.

The upper part of her bathrobe was tightly wrapped around her body, but because she was sitting, the hem of the bathrobe spread out on the wet floor tiles.

She revealed a pair of long, straight, and fair legs, as well as a pair of equally fair feet, the right ankle of which was now noticeably red and swollen.

Her hair was wet and clung to her cheeks and neck, her face was pale from the pain, and her lips were white from biting them.

Those eyes, usually clear, bright, and sparkling on stage, were now misty with pain, making them look pitiful yet stubbornly defiant.

Although she tried her best to cover herself with a bathrobe, her sitting posture and the soft, clinging material of the bathrobe made her...

Chen Hao's gaze inevitably swept over some alluring curves and glimpses of spring.

He immediately forced himself to look away and focus his attention on her pained face and injured ankle.

"Is it still very painful?"

Chen Hao stepped forward, squatted down, and looked at her swollen right ankle with concern.

The swelling looks quite severe.

"Mmm...it hurts a lot." Lin Caiwei nodded, her voice filled with barely suppressed pain.

"It hurts terribly with the slightest movement, and I can't exert any strength at all."

"Don't rush, let me help you up," Chen Hao said, carefully taking her arm.

"Slow down, try to shift your weight onto your left leg, and try not to put any force on your right leg."

Lin Caiwei hummed in agreement and, with the help of Chen Hao's arm, tried to stand up.

However, the moment her right foot touched the ground, a sharp pain shot through her, causing her to hiss and gasp for breath. Her body went limp, and she almost sat back down.

"It hurts! No...it hurts too much!"

Her face turned even paler, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
