âYin Shaojie!â
Yin Shaojie was shocked and he jumped up from the sofa. Running over to the bathroom door, he asked, âXiaoxiao, whatâs wrong?â
The loud sound of water from inside drowned out Mu Xiaoxiaoâs voice so he couldnât hear what she was saying.
âXiaoxiao? Are you okay?â he asked anxiously.
He saw the âwaiterâ walk leisurely into the master bedroom from his peripheral vision.
Could it be that he was the one who engineered the accident in the bathroom as a distraction?
The water in the bathroom stopped quickly. Mu Xiaoxiao sounded a little battered as she spoke from inside, âIâm okay now!â
âWhat happened just now?â he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao said a little gloomily, âI donât know what happened earlier but the water from both the tap and the showerhead started gushing out and it scared me.â
That was strange. Yin Shaojie frowned.
Just then, the stranger walked out from the master bedroom.
He walked up to Yin Shaojie. âWhere is the thing? Is it on you?â
Yin Shaojieâs eyes widened.
He pointed at the person. âNimo! What are you doing here?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSo you finally saw through my disguise. Youâre really pro, Jie.â The other party laughed. His tone had changed to one that was completely different from before. His English accent was now lyrical, elegant, and pleasant to listen to.
Nimo leaned against the wall opposite the bathroom. He spread his hands out and said, âIâm not doing anything. I just made a bet with the other guys to see if I can steal that thing of yours. I heard thatâ¦â
He gestured to the bathroom with his chin. âI heard your wife was here and I was curious. What kind of woman can make you fall so head over heels for her?â
Yin Shaojie frowned slightly. Looking towards the bathroom, he pulled Nimoâs collar and dragged him away.
When they were in the living room, he whispered, âShe doesnât know my other identity.â
Nimo crossed his arms as he looked at him. âI think you just donât want me to meet her. Relax, I wonât take any pictures. I just want to see her. Everyoneâs curious what your true love looks like.â
âYouâre all so lame!â Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Nimo nodded and said, âWe are a little bored these days. Itâs okay even if you donât want to let her know about your other identity. You can just introduce me to her as a normal friend.â
âHaha, Iâll pass on a guy like you.â Yin Shaojie turned his nose up at him.
Nimo was unhappy now. âHey! What do you mean? Are you looking for a fight? Come on! My hands are feeling itchy recently and I havenât done any moves for a while. Hurry up! Letâs fight!â
âI canât be bothered with you! Hurry up and leave and donât let her see you.â Yin Shaojie pointed to the door, wanting him to get out.
âIâm not leaving!â
Yin Shaojie was about to kick him. âAre you leaving or not?â
Nimo got into a fighting stance. âCome on, Iâll leave after a round of fighting.
The two of them looked into each otherâs eyes, the tension between building.
Just then, the door to the bathroom opened and a petite figure emerged.
âJie, what are you doing outside. Iâve been calling you. Couldnât you hear?â
A coldness passed through Yin Shaojieâs eyes and he glared daggers at Nimo. He mouthed silently, âGo!â
