To think it would end like this. They were both soaked to the bone, and after that whole trip, they ended up right back at his apartment complex!
At the door.
They looked at each other, neither saying a word, likely recalling the absurdly romantic stunt they had just pulled.
Their clothes were soaked, dripping onto the floor.
Seeing Jiangg Yao shivering from the cold, Chen Yuan quickly opened the door.
The warmth of the apartment enveloped them the moment they stepped inside.
Chen Yuan hurried to the bedroom for a clean bath towel. He returned and draped it over Jiangg Yao's shoulders. Her lips were so pale from the cold that he felt a sudden wave of relief they had returned instead of him trying to walk her home.
Otherwise, forget catching a cold—she would have been soaked silly. It was a half-hour walk, and the roads could be dangerous. Plus, it was nighttime. The slightest problem would be a hundred times harder to resolve than in the daytime.
