Quan Jue went to the balcony to cool off.
One must say that the scenery in Whitefish Town was indeed nice. It had a beautiful view with its back against the mountains.
The air was also very good. No wonder this side of Mount Li was also known as the holy land for cleansing the lungs.
Taking out his phone, Quan Jue called Lin Ye.
It only rang for two seconds before the other end picked up.
“Young Master Quan, didn’t you go to Mount Li with Jiaojiao? Why do you have the time to think of me?” Lin Ye’s slightly teasing voice came from the other end of the line.
“I just remembered something. I forgot to tell you that if I find out that something is wrong with our project when I go back, I will cripple you.” Quan Jue curled his lips lightly.
On the other end of the line, Lin Ye shivered and hurriedly said, “Don’t worry and focus on your date. I’m keeping a close eye on things here. There won’t be any problems at all. Don’t worry!”
Quan Jue grunted in acknowledgment.
“Where’s Jiaojiao?” Lin Ye suddenly asked.
“What do you want from her?” Quan Jue asked in return.
“It’s just that I haven’t seen Jiaojiao in such a long time. I miss her and want to say hi,” Lin Ye said with a grin.
Quan Jue hung up the phone immediately.
Coincidentally, Chi Jiao was done bathing too.
“Brother Quan…” Chi Jiao’s voice was heard through the glass door of the balcony.
Quan Jue immediately turned around and walked back inside.
The moment he entered the room, he saw that Chi Jiao was only wrapped in a towel. It revealed her swan-like neck, exquisite collarbones, and a pair of fair and slender legs.
Quan Jue’s eyes darkened in an instant.
He panicked and looked elsewhere. “Why did you come out without clothes? Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?”
His tone was tense.
Perhaps it was because she had just taken a hot shower or something, but Chi Jiao’s face was also red.
“Brother Quan, my pajamas are still in the luggage,” Chi Jiao said softly.
Quan Jue immediately walked to the pink luggage. After opening it, he took out a furry rabbit nightdress and handed it to her. “Quickly change into your pajamas. I’ll blow dry your hair when you come out.”
Chi Jiao took the pajamas from him. When their fingers touched, Quan Jue retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
Immediately after, he turned around abruptly.
The tightness in his stomach was attacking his rationality.
Chi Jiao noticed his abnormality and asked worriedly, “Brother Quan, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
She had seen that Quan Jue’s face was a little red earlier. Was he having a fever?
“I’m fine. Go and change into your pajamas quickly.” Quan Jue looked down at his pants, not daring to turn his head to face Chi Jiao.
There was no way he could let her see him like this.
Chi Jiao felt that it wasn’t appropriate for her to stand there and talk to Quan Jue like this. She hugged her pajamas and turned to go to the bathroom.
Hearing the bathroom door close, Quan Jue heaved a sigh of relief.
He quickly walked to the table and picked up the cold mineral water. After opening the bottle, he poured it into his mouth.
In winter, mineral water without heat was as stimulating as ice water. It slid down his throat and down his esophagus, finally easing the heat in his body.
His body’s reaction disappeared as well.
After throwing the plastic bottle into the rubbish bin, Quan Jue’s eyebrows twitched when he remembered that there was still a night left.
He shouldn’t have softened his heart and agreed to stay in the same room as her back then.
Now, he had brought it upon himself.
