"No need."

Wang Dahai shook his head.

"Oh~"

Wu Xiaoyu's mood was clearly down.

But she quickly adjusted, smiling, "Wang, do you want to take a shower?"

"No need, I'll sit for a while and talk to Police Officer Qin after she gets off work."

"Oh, then I'll take a shower, I feel all sticky... Ah, I mean the essential oils."

Wu Xiaoyu realized the ambiguity of her words as soon as she spoke and hurriedly explained, then quickly returned to her room, grabbed her clothes, and went into the bathroom.

The sound of water, trickling behind the bathroom door, began to emerge.

In the house, it was just him and Wu Xiaoyu; in such a quiet state, the sound of water became exceptionally clear. Wang Dahai could even tell by the sound of the water where the shower was hitting her body.

He was engrossed in listening when suddenly Wu Xiaoyu's voice rang out.

"Wang."

Wang Dahai was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Could you come here for a moment?"

Wang Dahai walked to the door and asked, "What's happened?"

"The water suddenly turned cold," Wu Xiaoyu said, somewhat embarrassed.

She wasn't deceiving Wang Dahai; the water did suddenly turn cold.

She didn't know what was going on.

She was a bit worried, afraid Wang Dahai might think she was doing it on purpose.

Using this method to seduce him.

After all, she had just helped him yesterday...

And today, she had made a similar request, but he had rejected it.

She felt that Wang Dahai might not like her.

And now, saying something like this suddenly, it was hard not to arouse suspicion.

Wu Xiaoyu was feeling very anxious.

She didn't know if Wang Dahai would think she was a very promiscuous girl.

"Cold water?"

Wang Dahai said, "Wait a moment."

He went to the kitchen and didn't see the water heater.

Strange, how did Qin Rong usually bathe without a water heater?

He suddenly remembered that Qin Rong's house seemed to have an electric water heater, mounted in the bathroom.

He came back and asked, "Is it still cold?"

"Yes, still cold."

"Then put on some clothes, I'll come in and check."

"Oh."

Sounds of clothing being put on came from within, and after a while, Wu Xiaoyu said, "Wang, you can come in now."

Wang Dahai pushed open the door and saw Wu Xiaoyu wrapped in a bath towel.

Her hair was dripping wet.

A pair of pale, beautiful legs were exposed to the air, like a freshly bathed fairy, her skin delicate to the touch.

Wang Dahai walked over to the water heater, checked it, and saw that the display showed the temperature was normal.

He turned on the shower to try the water temperature, but even at the maximum setting, it was cold.

The water heater was old; it must have broken down.

"The heating element inside is probably broken."

"I guess there's no way to take a bath today."

"I see."

"Did you finish washing?"

"I'm almost done."

"Then just come out for now, we'll let Police Officer Qin know when she gets back."

"Yes."

"I'll go out first; you change your clothes."

After he left, it wasn't long before Wu Xiaoyu also came out.

She dried her hair, put on her pajamas, and entered the room.

A few minutes later, she came out and said, "Wang, could I trouble you for something?"

"You tell me."

"I want to buy a water heater, but I don't know what kind to get. I don't understand these things."

She handed her phone to Wang Dahai, hoping he would help her decide.

Wang Dahai smiled and said, "No need to buy one, I'll talk to Police Officer Qin in a bit."

Wu Xiaoyu shook her head, "It was my fault."

"It's not your fault, the water heater was just old..."

"It was my fault." Wu Xiaoyu lowered her head, "I'm staying at Rongrong's house, and she doesn't charge me rent. Now that the water heater is broken, letting her buy a new one herself doesn't sit right with me."

Wang Dahai paused for a moment, feeling the girl's self-reproach.

Living under someone else's roof felt awful.

Wang Dahai knew this feeling all too well.

When he first arrived in this city, he also stayed at Lin Wanqiu's house, and felt all sorts of discomfort.

He instinctively reached out to touch Wu Xiaoyu's hair, softly saying, "I'll take a look for you."

Perhaps sensing the tenderness in Wang Dahai's heart, Wu Xiaoyu suddenly hugged him.

Wang Dahai's body jolted.

"Wang, can I hug you for a moment, okay?"

Wang Dahai's hand that had reached out paused mid-air, finally landing on her shoulder and gently patting it.

Wu Xiaoyu felt secure with his strong body.

She slowly raised her head, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at Wang Dahai.

Suddenly, a complicated sentiment surged in her heart, and she felt an impulse to kiss Wang Dahai.

Then, unable to restrain herself, she kissed him.

The moment her red lips touched him, Wu Xiaoyu's body quivered slightly.

Wang Dahai's body shuddered as well.

Watching as Wu Xiaoyu's eyes slowly closed, her delicate body so soft it seemed to melt in his arms.

The suppressed impulse in his heart ignited instantly, and he hugged her tightly.

And extended his tongue, turning a passive kiss into an active one, their tongues intertwining.

"Mmm~"

Wu Xiaoyu moaned softly, her body suddenly going limp, immersing herself in Wang Dahai's exploration and feeling an immense pleasure.

Wang Dahai kept kissing, avoiding inappropriate touching.

Her mouth was sweet and her tongue was tender, like the most delicious pastry.

After kissing passionately for several minutes, Wang Dahai finally stopped and withdrew his tongue.

Looking at Wu Xiaoyu, who was breathing heavily with flushed cheeks, he could feel her heated body.

Wu Xiaoyu slowly opened her eyes and saw Wang Dahai looking at her.

Her eyes darted away, saying, "Wang, I, I didn't mean to."

Wang Dahai said nothing, just patted her shoulder, "Let me help you check."

He took her phone, seriously helping her choose a water heater.

Wu Xiaoyu leaned against him in his embrace.

Recalling the recent kiss, she felt incredibly sweet.

She suddenly fantasized, if Wang Dahai was her boyfriend, how great that would be.

"Wang, do you have a girlfriend?" Wu Xiaoyu suddenly asked.

Wang Dahai hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes."

Although she had guessed the answer, hearing it still made Wu Xiaoyu involuntarily feel a sense of loss.

She let out a slight "Oh," and stopped talking.

Soon, Wang Dahai had chosen the water heater.

Wu Xiaoyu paid for it, but still refused to rise from his embrace.

It wasn't until the sound of the door opening outside that she, like a startled bird, quickly jumped out of Wang Dahai's arms and hurriedly straightened her clothes.

"Police Officer Qin." Wang Dahai walked over, picked up the packed food, and said, "Let me warm up the food for you."

"Thank you," Qin Rong politely thanked him.

Wang Dahai entered the kitchen without looking back, "Officer Qin, the water heater is broken, so you might not be able to take a shower tonight."

"The water heater's broken?"

"Yeah, it seems the heating element burned out." Wang Dahai said, "Xiaoyu has already bought a new one."
