Qin Ruojing knew about her younger sister going out to rent a place, so the footsteps outside the door could only be coming from Chu Ge. Her heart, which had already leapt to her throat, rose a few more notches.
Qin Ruojing was incredibly nervous. She bit her lip tightly, fearing she might make even the tiniest sound, even though the sound of running water in the bathroom would have drowned out her whispered voice so that Chu Ge couldn't hear it.
Was Chu Ge... planning to take a shower here too?
What... what should I do? What excuse should I use to refuse him?
No, I can't refuse him again, but... if I don't refuse, does it mean I have to confront him here? This setting is really terrible, isn't it?
"Tap, tap, tap..."
The sound of Chu Ge's footsteps grew clearer, and Qin Ruojing became more and more tense.
Finally, the footsteps stopped right outside the bathroom door.
