"What are you doing!" The scalding water instantly washed away all the tender thoughts. Cen Xiuzhi became furious and looked up, only to find it was Chen Yihan again. He clearly didn't expect to encounter Cen Xiuzhi here, and stared at him in astonishment.

Although there was not much hot water, it was sprinkled onto a sensitive area, causing intense pain. The area turned bright red, and if left untreated, it would likely blister. He didn't have time to argue with Chen Yihan; he grabbed the other person and forcefully pulled them towards the bathroom. Turning the faucet to the maximum, under the sound of rushing water, he grabbed Chen Yihan's hand and yanked it into the flowing water with great force.

Both of their scalded hands were being rinsed under cold water, and the burning pain slowly dissipated. Cen Xiuzhi's face turned extremely unsightly, and Chen Yihan's clothes on her chest were also soaked with water from the sink, already completely wet.

His gaze followed the slender wrist of Cen Xiuzhi, moving downwards, as he looked at the hand firmly held together with his own.

Cen Xiuzhi had the hands of a typical aristocratic young master - fair, slender, and radiant. His skin was smooth and flawless, exquisitely beautiful. At this moment, a small area on the back of his hand turned red from scalding hot water, contrasting against his fair skin, creating a breathtakingly stunning sight.

Chen Yihan was lost in thought for a moment. Before she could react, she was pushed away by Cen Xiu Zhi from the front of the sink.

"If you ever do this again, I will definitely inform the manager and have him fire you," Cen Xiuzhi said coldly.

For some unknown reason, his lips were moist, contrasting against his snow-white complexion, making them appear even more rosy. A stern and gloomy aura could be seen in his beautiful eyes.

Chen Yihan was momentarily stunned. After hearing Cen Xiuzhi's words, a mocking smile appeared on his face. "You, a mere outsider, what qualifications do you have to make the steward dismiss me? You meddle in family affairs so much."

"In the future, you will know whether I am qualified or not." Cen Xiuzhi had no good impression of him, sneered a few times, turned around and left. Chen Yihan watched him for a long time from behind, without saying a word.

A few minutes later, Chen Yihan finally moved her body and returned to the spot where the collision had occurred earlier. She found the water bottle that had fallen onto the ground, picked it up, and walked back to her own room.

"Yihan! You're back?" Su Che exclaimed happily as he got up from his chair and ran towards Chen Yihan. Upon seeing his reddened hand, he exclaimed in shock, "What happened to your hand? Who burned it?"

Chen Yihan said, "Just now, I bumped into someone on the road and the water in the water bottle spilled out."

"Wow, how careless of you," Su Che took out a tube of ointment and applied it to Chen Yihan's back of the hand. As he smeared it, he lowered his voice and said, "I have no idea what got into the young master of the Chu family to agree to the marriage... But today, Gu Jin got into a fight at school for my sake. I reckon he's starting to have feelings for me. Tomorrow, when we carry out the plan, we will let Madam Shao punish him. Then, I'll go comfort him, and everything will be fine with Gu Jin here."

"What kind of person is this Young Master Chu that you spoke of? Why are you so afraid of him?" Chen Yihan asked.

Su Che couldn't possibly say that because that was one of the original protagonist of this world, he had to force a smile and say, "I'm just an insignificant character. Soon enough, the Chu family will face a major crisis. You don't need to concern yourself with these trivial matters."

Chen Yihan listened to Su Che's words, lowered his gaze, and watched as Su Che's fingers touched the white ointment, carefully applying it to his red hand. For some reason, all he could see in front of him was the scene of the beautiful boy, taller than him, holding his hand tightly in front of the water stage and venturing into the flowing water.
