Chapter 376: Chapter 371: Washing Your Hair for You
By the time they returned to Qin Zhan’s house, it was already late. As soon as Bi Xia entered, she kicked off her shoes, slipped into slippers, and rushed into the bathroom. She turned on the faucet and stuffed her ink-black hair under it, roughly scrubbing the soaking wet strands.
"What are you doing? Does it really need to be this hot?" Xu Renfei asked in disbelief as he arrived at the bathroom door and saw Bi Xia.
With her eyes closed and a cold expression on her face, Bi Xia let the cool water run over her hair. "Damn it, Bi Qingyun touched my hair, and now I feel utterly disgusted!"
"But you can’t wash your hair with cold water! It’s not good for your health!"
"Shut up! I’ve been holding it in the whole way, and I can’t take it anymore!" Bi Xia snapped. She extended her hand toward Xu Renfei and said, "Fei, find me some shampoo."
"Hey, you..." Xu Renfei started to speak but was pushed aside by a shadow. He then felt his slippers being tugged at. Looking down, he saw Bi Xiaohai vigorously wagging its tail while grasping onto him, seemingly telling him not to be a third wheel.
Xu Renfei: ... Even single dogs know to take a hint nowadays...
While waiting for Xu Renfei to find the shampoo, Bi Xia felt a presence behind her. The faint scent of tobacco on the person made her feel at ease.
A large hand gently touched her wet, messy hair, shielding it from the cold water. The other hand adjusted the faucet to a warmer temperature, then both hands moved through the water, softly massaging her hair.
"Fourth Brother," Bi Xia called softly with her eyes closed.
The young man behind her responded with a faint sound but didn’t say anything. His hands continued moving.
Sensing Qin Zhan’s displeasure and the tense atmosphere, Bi Xia remained silent, allowing him to wash her hair.
When the shampoo touched her hair, Bi Xia felt a slight chill, but it quickly warmed under his large hands. Although the young man wasn’t particularly skilled, Bi Xia found it unexpectedly comfortable. If she weren’t bending over, she might have fallen asleep.
After the hot water washed away the last bit of conditioner, a towel was placed on Bi Xia’s head. She straightened up slightly and opened her eyes, only to see Qin Zhan’s retreating figure.
Tilting her head, Bi Xia thought, "Hmm... He really is mad...."
She then walked out of the bathroom and saw Xu Renfei sitting on the sofa, cuddling with Bi Xiaohai. When Xu Renfei saw her, he lifelessly lifted Bi Xiaohai’s paw and pointed, "He’s in his own room."
Bi Xia shrugged, rubbed her hair with the towel a few times, and walked up the stairs to Qin Zhan’s master bedroom. Seeing the door slightly open, she draped the towel over her shoulders, knocked, and entered after hearing a faint "Hmm" from inside.
Entering the room, she saw the young man sitting on the bed, casually reading a finance magazine.
Smiling slightly, Bi Xia approached him. Seeing he didn’t even glance at her, Bi Xia didn’t get angry. Instead, she sat down on the bed beside him and then flipped over to the middle of the bed. As she watched his expression change slightly, she leaned in, lying on top of him and staring him straight in the eyes.
Qin Zhan didn’t move, and neither did Bi Xia.
The water droplets not dried off her black hair trickled down as she lay on her side on his chest. They landed on his white shirt, forming watermarks that revealed his well-defined abs underneath.
Suddenly, Qin Zhan grabbed Bi Xia, gave her an icy look, and after a moment, tossed the magazine aside. Without a word, he picked up the towel from her shoulders and gently began drying her hair.
The moment Qin Zhan stood up, Bi Xia smiled. Feeling his gentle movements, she straightened slightly and hugged his waist, looking up at him. "Fourth Brother, don’t be mad."
"Do you know how bad it is to wash your hair with cold water?!"
"I know... But thinking about Bi Qingyun touching me makes me so nauseous..."
The movements on her head paused slightly as a helpless sigh escaped. The towel was placed back on her short hair, and a soft kiss landed on the towel, followed by his large hand gently sliding down her face. Lifting her face, he pressed his thin lips to her forehead and looked at her seriously. "Just this once."
