Chapter 39
Gao Xiaofeng's Towel

The Gao sisters lived quite a distance away, so for safety reasons, they resided in a storage room inside the supermarket.

With the two sisters’ diligent efforts, they had created a cozy home that shielded them from the elements.

Seeing her sister come rushing back with a flushed face, Gao Xiao Qin asked curiously.

“Sister, where did you go? Why are you so red?”

“Mr. Zhao asked me to deliver some midnight snacks to Mr. Sha, and I ran too fast. I can’t catch my breath,”

Gao Xiao Feng explained nonchalantly.

“He’s so young.”

Gao Xiao Qin had a particularly strong impression of Sha Bao Yu, whom she had met today.

He was completely different from all the men she had met before.

Gao Xiao Qin, who had always disliked men, found herself with no aversion towards Sha Bao Yu.

“Sister, don’t you think Mr. Sha is exceptionally handsome?”

“He is quite handsome.”

The two sisters lay down, their minds filled with the image of Sha Bao Yu’s handsome face, a captivating smile playing on their lips.

“When you went to deliver the snacks, what was Mr. Sha doing?”

The lively Gao Xiao Qin couldn’t sleep. She nudged her sister, eager to hear every detail of the snack delivery.

Gao Xiao Feng couldn’t resist her sister’s persistent questioning and recounted the events one by one.

However, for reasons unknown, she, who had always shared everything with her sister, omitted many details.

It was as if this was a little secret between her and Sha Bao Yu.

Sleepiness overcame them, and the two sisters quickly drifted off to sleep. It’s unknown whom they dreamed of, but sweet smiles adorned their lips.

Early in the morning, Gao Xiao Qin woke up and recalled the scene from her dream. She blushed with embarrassment. Noticing that her sister was already awake, she quietly changed into fresh undergarments.

Gao Xiao Feng had woken up in the middle of the night and had been trying to stay awake ever since.

Calculating the time, she quietly got up and walked to Sha Bao Yu’s room with a basin of water.

“Mr. Sha, I brought you some water. Would you like to wash up?”

Sha Bao Yu, who was still dreaming, thought it was his girlfriend, Zhong Xiao Ai. He groggily opened the door.

“Ah……”

Gao Xiao Feng saw Sha Bao Yu, who was half-naked, her face reddening with embarrassment. She couldn’t help but let out a startled shriek.

Her entire body, from face to neck, flushed crimson.

“Mr. Sha, that… I…”

The cry startled Sha Bao Yu awake. Looking at the pure Gao Xiao Feng before him, he jokingly teased her.

“Xiao Feng, shouldn’t I be the one saying that?”

His flirtatious words made Gao Xiao Feng even more flustered. Her hands were about to drop the basin of water.

Seeing Gao Xiao Feng about to cry from embarrassment, Sha Bao Yu quickly retreated into the room and dressed.

……

“Xiao Feng, thank you.”

This girl was truly thoughtful and considerate.

The cold water splashed on his face, washing away the drowsiness of the night. His mind instantly cleared.

He saw Gao Xiao Feng offering him a towel and happily wiped his face. He felt a surge of energy.

He couldn’t help but take a closer sniff. The towel had a faint, refreshing scent.

“Xiao Feng, this towel…”

Gao Xiao Feng was so shy that she couldn't speak.

“I couldn’t find a towel, so I brought mine. Don’t think it’s dirty.”

Before she finished speaking, her head was already about to drop to the ground.

“Xiao Feng, don’t say such self-deprecating things. You’re such a pure girl, how could you be dirty?”

Perhaps the oppressive environment she lived in for so long had led to Gao Xiao Feng’s extreme self-doubt.

Sha Bao Yu once again used her towel to wipe his face, demonstrating his intentions through action.

Gao Xiao Feng’s trembling hand reached out to take her towel from Sha Bao Yu’s hand. To her surprise, he had already put it away.

“It’s going to be hot today, and you’ll definitely want to wash your face when you come back at noon. I’ll borrow this towel for now.”

Gao Xiao Feng nodded timidly, agreeing to his request.

She didn’t dare say that this was her only towel.

However, she was secretly thrilled that Sha Bao Yu didn’t mind using something she had used.

People would always instinctively look down on them when they heard that they were fishermen’s daughters.

Watching Gao Xiao Feng leave, Sha Bao Yu felt a pang of pity in his heart.

The girl’s inner sensitivity constantly reminded her of her humble origins.

For a girl like her, outstanding beauty was a sin, attracting countless malicious gazes.

Just like in the original world, even if Zhao Rui Long didn’t exist, someone else would covet her.

Sha Bao Yu suddenly realized that he should do something for her, at the very least, he should protect this girl and prevent her from falling into the abyss of darkness like she did in the original world.
