Lina’s face blazed with heat as she averted her gaze from the screen. “What did you just say?”
“I said, let’s take a bath together!” Zuko’s smile widened as he slowly removed his shirt, revealing his muscular
upper body. “Why aren’t you looking at me?”
“Zeke, you…”
Lina pursed her lips, torn between not wanting to look at the screen and stealing a few glances. She caught
glimpses of his chest, washboard abs, and strong arms…
Her face grew even redder, and her heart raced uncontrollably.
Zuko remained composed and calmly said, “Do you actually want to look or not? If you don’t want to, you can just
end the video call, right?”
“You…”
“Since you’re not ending the call, I’ll take it that you’re willing to take a bath with me.”
A mischievous curve formed at the corner of Zuko’s lips. “Lina, don’t you undress when you take a bath?”

Lina’s face turned as red as a tomato. She couldn’t help but smile, trying to keep it subtle, as her heart overflowed
with sweetness.
Her shyness was genuine. She hadn’t expected the usually serious man to say such things with a serious
expression.
Zuko set his phone aside, and the camera happened to be level with his waist. He casually hooked his fingers on his
shorts. His voice, low and gentle, sounded hoarse as he said, “I’m going to start showering.”
Lina lowered her eyes, afraid to look at the camera, only to hear a scream from the phone!
Startled, she glanced at the screen and saw Zuko wide-eyed, looking in a certain direction, his expression shocked.
The atmosphere suddenly grew unusually quiet, as if time had frozen for a dozen seconds. After a while, a smiling
yet tearful-looking Dave appeared on the screen.
“Bro, Door Guardian… what a coincidence?” he said.
Zuko looked at him, then at his phone, trying to calm himself down.
“Um… Lina, I’ll stop here for now. Rest early!” Zuko said.
“Huh?” Lina wanted to ask something, but the video call had already ended. She pondered the layout of their
home’s bathroom.
The bathroom was quite spacious, with a corner next to the cabinet. In the dim evening light, if someone inside
forgot to lock the door…
Zeke must not have realized that Dave was in there when he entered!
Lina struggled to suppress her laughter and hid under the covers.
On the other side…
Zuko stared at Dave as if he had seen a ghost.
Meanwhile, Dave squatted in front of the cabinet, awkwardly standing up while holding a toilet paper roll.
Dave said, “Bro, you—”
Zuko interrupted him. “Dave, you…”
“I… I just finished using the toilet,” Dave explained awkwardly. “As I walked out, I suddenly realized that I ran out of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtoilet paper, so I turned back to find some. Who would have thought that you came in just as I crouched down and
opened the cabinet?”
Zuko was dumbfounded. “So… you heard and saw everything from the beginning?”
Dave chuckled, confirming that he had indeed heard and seen it all.
He had witnessed Zuko holding his phone, striking a seductive pose, lifting his clothes, and about to take off his
pants. He had even heard all of Zuko’s flirtatious words…
Perhaps the Door Guardian had been so engrossed that he didn’t notice someone in front of the cabinet from the
start.
Zuko wished he could find a hole to hide in! He lamented, “What did you hear and see!?”
“Bro, Door Guardian, don’t worry.” Dave quickly straightened up and said seriously, “I can forget everything that
just happened!”
“You—” Zuko started, but Dave interrupted with a smile. “But are you and my sister… always this wild?”
Zuko choked on his breath and swiftly fled with his phone.
What a disaster…
