However, even if the fire burns fiercely, Duan Xingzhi can only put it out himself. He absolutely won't take advantage of Bai Zhi in any improper way.
After downing two more glasses of cold water to stabilize himself a bit, he returned to the guest room door and saw her sleeping soundly, with the blanket covering her well, which finally put him at ease to go take a shower.
After showering, he put her dirty sweater along with his own changed clothes into the laundry basket, and then he headed to the study.

Reading usually calms him down, but today, he had to get up every few pages to pour another glass of water, and incidentally check if she was sleeping well.
It wasn't the first time she had stayed at his place, but the previous time, he hadn't been this nervous.
