Xu Lin saw through it at once.
"Still not asleep?"
"No, I... I... I just went to the bathroom..."
Xia Xiyao stammered, not daring to look at Xu Lin, like a child caught by their parents for stealing money from their drawer. Xia Xiyao knew Xu Lin must have realized she came to eavesdrop, feeling intensely awkward and at a loss for words.
"Go to bed early, I'm going to take a shower."
Xu Lin didn't dwell on the matter, and left for the bathroom, unafraid even if Xia Xiyao saw him naked.
Having a perfect male physique is something to be proud of; there's nothing to be shy about. Only scrawny or overweight men or those underdeveloped would feel embarrassed.
It's said that at the Olympics held in Ancient Greece, athletes would strip naked to showcase the strong and healthy beauty of their bodies, earning admiration for the primitive beauty of the human form.
