Awakening the Phoenix Flow System after the breakup, I'm so happy!

Chen Yang followed him into the bathroom.

Liu Yifei's apartment has a large bathroom with a separate wet and dry area. One entire wall is a mirror, and there is a built-in bathtub in the corner that can easily fit two people.

Liu Yifei stood in front of the sink, wrapped in a blanket, looking just like a white silkworm cocoon, with only her head and two bare feet showing.

She looked at Chen Yang behind her in the mirror, her ears still red.

"You turn around first."

"Mr. Liu, we've already gone through that, and now you're telling me to turn around?"

Chen Yang leaned against the door frame, arms crossed, with an expression of watching a good show.

"That's different. That was just now, and this is now."

Liu Yifei glared at him and pulled the blanket up even tighter.

"What's different? I've seen every part of your body before."

"Chen Yang!"

Liu Yifei's voice rose eight octaves, and the blush on her face had spread to her neck.

Chen Yang raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, obediently turned around, and faced the door.

"Okay, okay, I've turned it over. Please go ahead, Mr. Liu."

I heard rustling sounds behind me, the dull thud of a blanket falling to the ground, followed by the splashing sound of the showerhead being turned on.

The heat quickly filled the entire bathroom, and a thin layer of mist covered the mirror.

"Okay, you can come in now. The water's boiling."

Liu Yifei's voice came from behind the frosted glass of the shower room, with a slightly misty quality due to the moisture.

Chen Yang turned around, and through the frosted glass, he could only see a blurry outline.

The undulating silhouette was enveloped in steam, and water droplets trickled down the glass, cutting the figure into pieces.

He quickly took off the last of his clothes, opened the glass door of the shower room, and went inside.

Liu Yifei stood with her back to him under the showerhead, water flowing down her shoulder blades, her long hair sticking wetly to her back.

Hearing the glass door open, she visibly hunched her shoulders, but didn't turn around.

"The jade pendant is on the sink, could you get it for me?"

"Mr. Liu, you let me in just to get a jade pendant?"

Chen Yang reached out and touched the warm jade pendant from the outside, then weighed it in his hand.

"Otherwise what?"

Liu Yifei still didn't turn around; her voice was muffled by the rushing water.

Chen Yang took a step forward, so close that he could touch her wet back if he reached out just one more time.

"Then pull your hair up, the buttons are in the back, I can't see them."

Liu Yifei reached out and gathered all her long hair in front of her right shoulder, revealing a section of her fair and smooth nape.

Water droplets rolled down her neck, each one glistening under the light.

Chen Yang wrapped the jade pendant chain around her neck and felt around the back of her neck with both hands for the small clasp.

When his fingertips touched the skin on the back of her neck, Liu Yifei's body visibly trembled.

"Why are your hands so hot?"

"The water temperature was too high, it's not my fault."

Chen Yang rubbed his fingers against the buckle for a while, but he just couldn't fasten it.

"Are you even capable? It takes you forever to button one button."

Liu Yifei turned her head and glanced at him from the corner of her eye above her shoulder.

This glance had a significant impact; the two were so close that her gaze met Chen Yang's face, which was blurred by moisture.

Water droplets clung to his eyelashes, dripping down his sharply defined jawline.

Liu Yifei quickly turned her head back, her heart pounding like crazy.

"Don't look around, focus on buttoning your clothes."

"You turned to look at me yourself, how can you say I was looking at you inappropriately?"

Chen Yang chuckled and finally fastened the clasp.

The jade pendant was placed below Liu Yifei's collarbone, and its warm, gentle sensation immediately seeped into her skin.

"Okay, it's buttoned up."

Chen Yang said it was agreed, but he didn't take his hand back.

His fingers slid down from the clasp at the back of her neck, along her shoulder line, and then stopped there.

"Chen Yang, where are you putting your hands?"

Liu Yifei's voice was a little unsteady. The water flowed over the two of them, and the heat turned the entire shower room into a sealed steamer.

"I noticed your shoulders are a bit stiff, so I'll loosen them up for you."

Chen Yang pressed his thumb on the junction of her shoulder and neck, with just the right amount of pressure.

Liu Yifei couldn't help but snort, and her head unconsciously lowered forward.

"You... can you always find an excuse to touch me inappropriately?"

"This is called after-sales service. Mr. Liu was enjoying it quite a bit just now, wasn't he?"

Chen Yang placed both of his hands on her shoulders, his thumbs pushing down along the trapezius muscle.

Water flowed down his arm and down Liu Yifei's back.

"I was treating an illness then. Now that I'm cured, why are you still pressing on me?"

Although Liu Yifei said that, she didn't move forward; instead, she leaned back slightly.

As he leaned against her, his back pressed against Chen Yang's chest.

Both of them were stunned for a moment.

Liu Yifei's ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed. She tried to move forward, but her feet slipped, and she ended up leaning backward.

Chen Yang reacted quickly, grabbing her waist with one hand and pulling her back steadily.

Now she was completely nestled in his arms.

"Mr. Liu, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Chen Yang lowered his head and spoke with his lips almost touching her earlobe, his hot breath tickling her ear and making her shrink back.

"Who did that on purpose? The ground was slippery, and I lost my balance."

Liu Yifei struggled a couple of times, only to find that his arms were like iron hoops, and she couldn't break free at all.

"Now that you're standing firmly, you can let go, right?"

"I'm protecting you in case you slip again."

"Chen Yang, you're a scoundrel."

"Mr. Liu, is it reasonable for you to let a man shower with you and then accuse him of being a pervert?"

Liu Yifei was speechless after hearing his words.

Indeed, she herself said that washing together would save water, but now she's calling him a hooligan, which seems a bit unreasonable.

But this pose is too...

She could clearly feel the burning hot body pressed against her from behind, the heat of a man flowing through the water, making her feel flustered.

"At least... put your hands where they belong."

Liu Yifei looked down at the hand that was wrapped around her waist; it was indeed positioned a little too low.

"This is just your waist, it's perfectly normal."

"Is that your waist? Move it up three centimeters."

"Three centimeters up?" Chen Yang moved his hand upwards. "Here?"

"A little higher."

"here?"

"Yes, just... don't move!"

Chen Yang's finger touched something, and Liu Yifei jerked as if she had been electrocuted, almost slipping again.

"See, you almost fell again. It's safer if I help you."

Chen Yang pulled the person back, and this time he held him even tighter.

Liu Yifei gritted her teeth in anger, but being held like this by him made her feel incredibly safe and secure.

The jade pendant was pressed against her chest, warm and cozy, mingling with the body heat from the man behind her, making her feel soft and tingly all over.

"Chen Yang".

"Um?"

"Answer me one question honestly."

Liu Yifei's voice softened, mostly drowned out by the sound of rushing water.

"Go ahead and ask."

"Your female boss... is it like this between you and her too?"

The shower was quiet for two seconds, with only the sound of water hitting the floor tiles remaining.

Chen Yang did not answer immediately.

Liu Yifei felt the hand around her waist tighten a little, and then the man's chin rested on her shoulder.

"Mr. Liu, are you jealous?"

"Who's jealous of you? I was just asking casually."

"Then I'll just give you a random answer."

Chen Yang turned her around, and the two stood facing each other. Water poured down from the showerhead, soaking both their faces.

He reached out and wiped the water droplets from Liu Yifei's face, his thumb resting on her cheekbone.

Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?

Liu Yifei looked up at him with her eyes, which were misty from the steam, and her lips moved slightly.

"...The truth."

Chen Yang lowered his head, his forehead touching hers, their noses almost touching.

Water streamed down their cheeks, which were pressed together, and dripped down their chins.

"The truth is, you're all I can think about right now. Let's talk about everything else after we get out of this door, okay?"

Liu Yifei's eyelashes trembled, and water droplets clung to them like broken diamonds.

She didn't say anything, but simply stood on tiptoe and put her hands around his neck.

When her lips touched mine, they carried the coolness of water and her own warmth.

Chen Yang held the back of her head with one hand and used the other hand to lift her up along her wet waistline.

Liu Yifei instinctively wrapped her legs around the showerhead, her back pressed against the cold tiled wall of the shower room.

She hissed in pain and shrank closer to Chen Yang.

"It's so cool by the wall."

"Shall we go somewhere else?"

Chen Yang turned his head and glanced at the built-in bathtub outside, which was already more than half full of hot water.

Liu Yifei followed his gaze and bit her lip.

"Chen Yang, did you plan this all along?"

"I'm innocent! You were the one who put the water in there."

"...Carry me over there."
