Zhan almost fell from the bed when he heard the loud ring of door bell in the morning. Who is so crazy to visit someone's house at 6 in the morning!!!

Once he opened the door, Zhan was quite surprised to see who was standing in front of him.

"Are you Xiao Zhan?"

Zhan just nodded quietly.

"Firstly, let me apologize for disturbing you early in the morning. Secondly, let me introduce myself, I'm Chen Zhuo Xuan, your co-worker Yibo's fiancee" the girl reached out her hand.

"Xiao Zhan" Zhan said accepting her hand.

"Actually, the reason for my visit is to ask Mr. Xiao Zhan for help in doing something that I cannot do.." Zhuo Xuan's cheeks were flushed red. Zhan was quite confused by the strange behavior of the girl.

"About what, Ms. Chen? If I can, I will be happy to help you" Zhan smiled politely.

"About Yibo's injured leg, he still needs a bath. However, as I am a woman I cannot help him in the shower.." 
(Gurllll.. You are practically asking a monkey to guard your banana!! Or his banana 🤔
OK whosever banana,  ┐( ´ ▽｀)┌  )

'Bath?? Help??? Xiao Zhan.. You must think about it.

You should reject it. Of course, given what happened between the two of them after they played with water previous time. And Zhan admits it was all his fault that the relationship between them is back to square one.

'However, refusing a girl's request for help is rude. Moreover, this request for help is related to the issue of politeness.'

So after thinking for a while, Zhan decided to agree to the girl's request.

He could only hope that while doing so, he don't think of doing anything else to Yibo.
( You sure?? 🤨🤨 )

"Yes, miss. I will help you" 

Hearing that, Zhuo Xuan looked at Zhan with sparkling eyes.

"Really, Mr. Xiao Zhan? Are you going to help?" Zhuo Xuan asked holding Zhan's both hands.

"Of course" Xiao Zhan smiled wryly. That girl's smile looked very sweet.

"Then let's go to Yibo's apartment." Zhuo Xuan pulled Zhan by hand.

Zhan stopped to her to lock the front door. Once completed, Zhan let the girl pull him excitedly into Yibo's apartment.

"Yibo. I brought someone who can help you shower. Guess who?" Zhuo Xuan said in a funny teasing tone.

Yibo raised his eyebrows in confusion. When he saw the person who just entered from the door, Yibo almost gasped.

"Hi.." Zhan waved his hand awkwardly.

He stared at Yibo with a concerned look.
The younger man is currently sitting on sofa with his feet on the table before him. His legs which were usually wrapped in tight jeans are now wrapped in several layers of bandages. As he recently received treatment, it's not good to expose them to water.

Yibo just hummed in response. Zhan could only smile wryly.

"Mr. Xiao Zhan, I have prepared warm water in the bathtub. As well as the equipment needed, so you can help bathe Yibo now before the water cools."
