Chapter 86   - A milky scent

Yu Yan turned the key and opened the door.

“Come in .” He looked behind Yi Chen and asked, “Did you come by yourself?”

Yi Chen replied, “En.”

Same day air tickets were usually in short supply, and if it hadn’t been for another business class passenger refunding their ticket, he would have had to come here by economy class. How would he even be able to bring others with him?

Yi Chen entered the room and looked around subconsciously.

The room wasn’t big, but it was neat. It was totally different from Yi Ran’s hideously messy room. Aside from the great number of peripheral decorations placed in front of the computer, there weren’t many objects in other places.

Yu Yan finally managed to snap out of his surprise at this moment. He hesitated and went to the bathroom to get a towel.

He lived alone and wasn’t the kind of person who paid great attention to detail, so he hadn’t prepared any extra basic toiletries in his house.

He handed the towel to Yi Chen and said, “I don’t have many towels here. You… can use my towel to wipe your hair first? I’ll go to the supermarket and buy another one.”

Yi Chen took over the gray towel and wringed the rainwater out of his bangs.

“I’ll buy it. Where is the supermarket?”

“Your clothes are all wet, and you’ll catch a cold if you go out again in this chilly weather.” Yu Yan went into the bathroom and turned on the hot water. “Take a bath first, I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay.”

“Have you had dinner? Do you want me to order something for you to eat?”

“Already ate.”magic

Yu Yan came out of the bathroom and was ready to say something but immediately shut up when he clearly saw the scene in the room.

Yi Chen had taken off his coat and was untying his tie. Although the suit had blocked a lot of the rain from reaching his inner clothing, the inside had still gotten a bit soaked. The white shirt he was wearing slightly stuck to his skin, outlining the muscle lines the man had quite clearly.

And these stark lines—otaku Yu Yan didn’t have them.

Yi Chen noticed that there wasn’t any noise, so he looked up just in time to see Yu Yan standing there, staring unblinkingly at him.

He smiled slightly and deftly undid his tie.

Yu Yan returned to his senses with this action. “I-I’ll go buy towels.”

“Wait.” Yi Chen stopped him. “I was in such a hurry tonight that I haven’t booked a hotel.”

Yu Yan let out an “oh”, took out his mobile phone, and said, “That’s fine, right now isn’t the peak tourist season, and there should be rooms available in the hotels. I’ll book one for you .”

Yi Chen raised his eyebrows as he asked, “&#k2026;So generous?”

“&#k2026;&#k2026; En.” Yu Yan put his cellphone in front of him. “Look, what kind of room do you want to stay in?”

Yi Chen didn’t even look at the screen. He continued his previous actions with his hands and said, “When you go to the supermarket in a bit, also buy a toothbrush for me while you’re there.”“No need, change them to video conferences.”

“But you don’t have a computer…”

Yi Chen looked at the machine not far away and said, “I have a computer here. Change the time and schedule all of them for the morning.”

“Understood.”

After hanging up, Yi Chen turned around and entered the bathroom.

The bathroom wasn’t small, and because there was no bathtub, the space could count as being suitably-sized.

Yi Chen glanced at the shelf, picked up the largest bottle, and looked at it. It had a logo of a small flying elephant that was smiling on it.

Milk Scented Shower Gel?

With a smile and a laugh, he put the shower gel back in place. Then, with a flick of his fingertips at the switch, hot water immediately gushed out of the shower head.

As soon as Yu Yan opened the door, he heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

He went to the bathroom door, then carefully opened it and handed in a plastic bag. “I’m back with the things, and there’s a toothbrush as well.”

All he heard was the sound of water gushing out of the shower.

Yu Yan held the bag out for a while but still received no response. He shook his hand subconsciously and called out, “Yi Chen?”

His shaking hand was held.

The other party’s palm had hot water all over it, warming up the back of his hand. The plastic bag was taken away, and he said, “Thank you.”

Yu Yan was stunned, and hurriedly took back his hand. “No problem.”

Yi Chen came out of the bathroom with a gust of milky scent.

At this time, Yu Yan was airing out another quilt. He was bent and crouched over, so that his clothes outlined his thin waist.

Hearing the sound of movement, he turned back and saw the man standing behind him with his head down as he smelt the scent on the new towel.

Meeting his gaze, Yi Chen said softly, “I was just wondering what scent was usually on your body… you’re this old, how is it that you are still using milk-scented infant shower gel?”
