The door clicked shut softly behind her, cutting off Shen Yuan's gaze.
Li Zhi leaned back against the cool surface of the door and let out a long sigh.
Hearing the sound, Xu Chan, who was in the kitchen preparing dinner, poked her head out.
"Zhizhi, you're back."
"Yeah! I-I'm going to my room."
The words had barely left her mouth before Li Zhi scurried back to her room.
Li Zhi didn't even dare to mention taking a shower in front of her parents.
If she said she needed a shower right after coming back from Shen Yuan's house, wouldn't that just invite misunderstandings?
Li Zhi rushed back to her bedroom and shut the door, her heart hammering nervously in her chest.
The feeling of her sweat-damp clothes clinging to her skin became more and more distinct.
Li Zhi practically fled to the window to draw the curtains.
Then, her fingertips trembling slightly, she unzipped her school uniform.
