Ryan simply instructs his assistant before hanging up the phone. He looks up at the girl who is thinking
and sees through her thoughts. He explains, "I'm going to live in the country, so I have bought a
house."
Eunice asks straightforwardly, "Don't you always stay in a hotel?"
She remembers that when they first met, she didn't know much about this man. At that time, she
wondered why he always lived in a hotel and never stayed at home.
Later, she comes to realize that the hotel is home to him. He can be safer and comfortable there.
Eunice is surprised that he suddenly wants to buy a house, as he always maintains such a habit.
"The hotel is not as convenient as home." Ryan stares deeply at her watery eyes. He thinks for a while
and doesn't speak out the words that he wants to say in the end.
She keeps avoiding him. It is not good to say too much and put pressure on her. Forget it.
Ryan slightly lowers his head and turns off the laptop in his hands. It is half past ten. He puts down the
chair and says, "It's getting late. You should sleep early."
Eunice nods. She is indeed a little sleepy. She gets up and goes to the bathroom to turn on the tap.
The water is flowing. Looking at her pale face in the mirror, Eunice feels at loss.
This time, when she sees Ryan, he has calmed down a lot, compared to before. There is no tense and
radical feeling in him. He is natural and peaceful. However, when she sees such a peaceful version of
him, she is still flustered.
Why?
Eunice has never eavesdropped on other people's conversations. But he is so close that it is hard not
to hear him.
She knows that Ryan's business and company are mainly overseas. Although he is Chinese by nature,
he has lived abroad since he was very young. Why does he suddenly buy a house at home?
Eunice suddenly thinks of a possibility that one may find hard to believe. He has no friends or relatives
in the country. No one can attract him to stay. The only possibility is ... her.
Perhaps frightened by her own thoughts, Eunice immediately shakes her head, wanting to throw this
disturbing idea out of her head.
She hurriedly picks up the electric toothbrush. Her movements are a little hasty. She forgets that an
eyebrow razor is on the left side of the toothbrush. Her fingers move over, and she immediately feels a
sharp pain.
"Ouch!" She couldn't help but cry out and withdraws her fingers. She lowers her head and sees that a
thin cut had been made.
At the same time, when she sees the cut clearly, the toilet door is pulled open. Ryan's tall body
squeezes in. He asks anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Eunice puts her hand down, not wanting him to see it. Unfortunately, she can't conceal it from a man
like Ryan at all. Before she retracts her hand, he has already grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulls her
hand under his eyes, "What's going on?"
Seeing that she could not conceal it, Eunice points at the eyebrow razor, "It was the eyebrow razor that
made the first move."
"...." Ryan frowns and glares at her, "Are you kidding me?"
Eunice immediately lowers her head and stops talking.
The wound isn't very deep. Instead, it is shallow. The bleeding stops after the wound is pressed with a
tissue. Ryan used to have scratches or cuts on his hands, so he is experienced with this kind of wound.
He directly opens the disinfectant cotton and wipes the wound with it.
A faint smell of alcohol drifts into her nose. She also feels pain. Eunice doesn't dare to move, but she
hurts so much that she bites her lips.
Ryan is afraid that she feels pain. After treating her fingers as quickly as possible, he couldn't help but
say, "Alright. Don't touch water tonight."
"Ah?" Eunice no longer cares about the atmosphere between them. She points at her mouth and says,
"I haven't brushed my teeth or washed my face."
"Skip it."
" ... Isn't it that serious...?"
Seeing that she wants to refute, Ryan looks at her seriously and says, "Since you know it will be not
convenient. Why didn’t you be careful?"
Eunice turns her face away. She is a little frustrated. She is very careful, okay? She is distracted by the
house he is going to buy. That should be responsible for her accidental cut.
She sighs.
It is all her own fault. She is so stupid that she cuts herself.
She is silent and downhearted. Ryan looks at her lovingly. He knows that she likes to keep neat and
tidy. Although his tone is impatient, he acts as quickly as he can, "I will help you."
Eunice blinks, "How can you help...?"
Before she finishes speaking, Ryan goes straight into the bathroom. He walks to the washbasin and
takes the only cup to catch more than half a cup of warm water. Then he unscrews the toothpaste and
squeezes it on the toothbrush before handing it to her.
Eunice sees that the top of her toothbrush is covered with a lump of toothpaste, as big as her thumb.
Her eyelids twitch, "You ... use too much toothpaste."
With so much toothpaste, the foam will definitely cover her entire face.
Ryan doesn't have the habit of taking care of people. This is the first time he has done so. He washes
the toothpaste away and squeezes out a smaller lump, "Is this enough?"
"Yes, it is enough. That's just right." Eunice takes it, rinses her mouth, and stuffs the toothbrush into her
mouth. She doesn't dare to brush too long. Seeing his dark face, she unconsciously accelerates the
movements of her hand.
Five minutes later, after she brushes her teeth, her breath becomes much fresher, but she hasn't
finished. She wants to wash her face.
However, Ryan can't help her washing her face. She didn't go out too long today. She just took a walk
at noon. It is OK to wipe the face with a wet towel.
The last step is to wash her feet.
Lorraine bought her a pink foot basin to wash her feet. The basin now is quietly lying in a corner.
Eunice feels a little embarrassed. It is fine to help her when she brushes her teeth and washes her
face. Is he willing to help her wash her feet? Will he feel disgusted?
Just as she is hesitating, Ryan, following her line of sight, accurately spots the foot basin.
"This?" He directly walks over, bends down to pick it up, and even waves it in front of her eyes.
Pink does not match up with Ryan's sharp and handsome face. There is a weird contrast, especially
with a peony flower on the bottom of the foot basin.
Eunice's ears flushed slightly red. She is a little embarrassed and her voice becomes lower, "Yes,
please help me get some hot water. It just needs to be a little hotter than it usually is."
Unexpectedly, Ryan does not complain. He directly rolls up his sleeves, slowly unbuttons the crystal
buttons and lifted the cuffs up. Eunice suddenly feels that this foot basin is a little awkward...
She has never thought that one could be so handsome when doing this.
While she is fantasizing, Ryan's focus is completely different. It doesn't matter for him to squeeze the
toothpaste and catch the water. The important thing is that after the small 'accident', she doesn't reject
him as much as the beginning.
It is as if he has suddenly crossed a barrier. The invisible barrier has been
eliminated.
