Chapter 13: Besties, Kiss

"Qingzhi, so you were taking a bath after all, why didn't you answer me?"

Lin Ruoxi pushed open the bathroom door, and seeing Shen Qingzhi wrapped in a bath towel, she breathed a sigh of relief but also asked with confusion.

Shen Qingzhi, sidestepping, used the emergency to hide Su Luo behind the door. A faint smile appeared on her delicate cheeks: "I wasn't wearing anything just now and planned to get dressed before coming out to meet you."

"That's fine, I'll change my clothes, and I'll use your bathroom," Lin Ruoxi said with a chilly voice.

After speaking, she took long strides, her waist twisting slightly as she bypassed Shen Qingzhi and walked straight into the bathroom.

Su Luo, hiding behind the door, could now see half of Lin Ruoxi's body. It could be said that if Lin Ruoxi moved just a bit further, she would easily discover him.

This made Su Luo's breathing somewhat constricted.

Shen Qingzhi quickly turned around, moved half a step just in time to perfectly block Lin Ruoxi's line of sight, and spoke in a mature and knowledgeable voice: "Come out with me first and help me blow-dry my hair, can you?"

Lin Ruoxi appeared somewhat astonished.

This wasn't like Shen Qingzhi's character at all!

Despite her curiosity, Lin Ruoxi didn't refuse: "Qingzhi, wait a moment, I'm in a bit of a hurry. I need to use your bathroom first, then I'll help you blow-dry your hair, okay?"

Having said that, Lin Ruoxi was about to bypass Shen Qingzhi.

After all, she and Shen Qingzhi had known each other for many years. In front of others, she was an icy lady CEO, and her disposition was indeed cool, but she wouldn't be overly polite with Shen Qingzhi.

Upon hearing this.

Su Luo's expression changed slightly.

If Lin Ruoxi were to use the bathroom, she would definitely see him, and moreover, they would make eye contact.

Although Su Luo liked beautiful women, he didn't have a weird fetish for watching women use the toilet, even if they were attractive.

The main point was that he couldn't let Lin Ruoxi discover him.

Otherwise, he could escape, but what about Shen Qingzhi?

In his urgency, Su Luo even thought about acting swiftly, trying to see if he could knock out this icy beauty CEO before she could see him clearly by catching her off guard.

But the next moment, Su Luo's eyes suddenly widened, filled with disbelief.

In fact, he wasn't the only one wearing such an expression!

Lin Ruoxi was also in disbelief!

And even more so!

Just because there really was no good reason for Shen Qingzhi to stop Lin Ruoxi, nor could she forcibly drag Lin Ruoxi out, but she couldn't let Lin Ruoxi discover Su Luo either.

Out of desperation, she actually kissed her.

Yes.

Shen Qingzhi approached Lin Ruoxi and unexpectedly pressed her lips against Lin Ruoxi's.

Face to face.

Lin Ruoxi's slightly cold eyes widened to their fullest, filled with incredulity as she looked at her "best friend."

This sudden kiss and the soft sensation that came from their lips made Lin Ruoxi completely freeze.

Being of a cold disposition, she had never liked being in contact with men, including her father. If they got too close, she would feel extremely uncomfortable, as if she were naturally averse to being in close contact with men.

But she had never felt that she liked women, nor had she ever harbored any thoughts about them.

Yet, at this moment, Lin Ruoxi was bewildered.

Beyond being utterly astonished that her married friend would suddenly kiss her, she was also very surprised that she had no psychological aversion to Shen Qingzhi's kiss.

For a moment, she even forgot to push Shen Qingzhi away.

Shen Qingzhi was just staring at Lin Ruoxi.

And Lin Ruoxi was looking back at Shen Qingzhi.

Shen Qingzhi, of course, was not a lesbian and didn't like women. She kissed Lin Ruoxi solely to create an opportunity for Su Luo to leave, but it wouldn't work if Lin Ruoxi kept her eyes open.

Thinking it over, Shen Qingzhi continued to press her lips to Lin Ruoxi's while closing her eyes, like a couple in a romance movie.

Seeing Shen Qingzhi close her eyes, the tense Lin Ruoxi also gradually relaxed.

Her stature remained the same, her eyelashes trembled, and she slowly closed her eyes as well.

Right on cue.

Shen Qingzhi reopened her eyes and saw Lin Ruoxi with her eyes tightly shut, as if savoring the kiss, Shen Qingzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly made a hand gesture behind her back to signal to Su Luo to leave immediately.

Su Luo had been paying attention to them all along.

Ever since that night, he had always considered Shen Qingzhi his woman. However, at this moment, seeing Shen Qingzhi kissing Lin Ruoxi, Su Luo didn't feel jealous but rather found his heart growing warmer, almost wishing he could join in.

But of course, Su Luo knew that was impossible.

He seized the opportunity, crouched down, and rapidly left the bathroom.

After reaching the living room, Su Luo hadn't even had time to relax when suddenly he heard the sound of the door opening.

"Could it be Zhou Shihao coming back?"

Su Luo was inwardly alarmed.

He didn't dare delay even for a moment. With the powers of the Second Level of Qi Refinement at full display, he rushed to the window, lightly touched the windowsill with his palm, and his whole body shot out through the window.

At the same time.

The room door was pushed open.

A woman walked into the room without making a sound.
