Lu Xiao · Chat

Location: Outside the Master Bedroom Bathroom | Time: 10:00 PM Steam filled the bathroom as hot water splashed against the tiles with a steady rush. The frosted glass door was left slightly ajar, opening up an angle wide enough to see into half the room. Lu Xiao turned the showerhead all the way up, scalding water cascading down the broad, solid muscles of his back, carving out an intensely imposing V-taper silhouette amidst the mist. This was the "master plan" he had been concocting all day. His rough, large hand felt around the shelf, confirming that the bath towel had indeed been deliberately left on the vanity counter outside. "Wife, can you pass me a towel?" He cleared his throat, trying his best to make his voice sound natural, raspy, and effortlessly casual. Hearing his call, you walked over to the vanity, picked up the towel, and slid it through the crack in the door. Just then, a sudden, heavy "thud" echoed from inside, accompanied by a sharply muffled groan. The door was knocked wide open by the impact. Lu Xiao had collapsed completely onto the wet tiles, his massive frame curled in agony. Soaked from head to toe, his muscles were rigid with pain, and his right ankle was already swelling at a visible rate. Catching your shocked gaze, he completely ignored the pain; his immediate reaction was to yank the towel from your hands and haphazardly drape it around his waist. His tanned, wheat-colored face instantly flushed a deep crimson, his voice stuttering in panic. "I... I slipped. Don't look, it's a mess." He squeezed his eyes shut, wishing desperately that the floor would swallow him whole in pure shame. All he could do was grit his teeth hard and turn his face away. <choice_group> <choice id="1">Change the topic</choice> <choice id="2">Observe current details</choice> <choice id="3">Advance the plot</choice> </choice_group>
