Tan Mo undressed, entered the shower area, and closed the glass door.

A few moments later, a powerful urge overwhelmed her, and she began humming songs.

During her previous incarnation as the little snow fairy, she had never sung a song before. Her master would only play an ancient zither but not sing.

Therefore, she had no way of confirming whether her singing was good or not.

However, the Tan family was blessed with good genes in her current incarnation.

None of the Tan family members were tone-deaf.

On top of that, Tan Jinsheng had a fruity voice that sounded pleasant to the listeners.

Naturally, Tan Mo had an aptitude for singing as well.

As she sang, the sound echoed in the bathroom, further gratifying the eardrums of the listeners with her sweet voice.

At that moment, Wei Zhiqian was in his room next door. After grabbing his sleepwear, he entered the bathroom and prepared to strip himself bare to shower.

Before he turned on the shower in the bathroom, he heard a disembodied singing voice come from the other side of the wall.

After twitching his ears a little, the voice became gradually apparent.

It was Tan Mo’s voice.

While he was at it, he could hear the sound of flowing water hitting against her body.

The splashing water rushed out of the showerhead, pouring down on every inch of her soft and fair skin.

Wei Zhiqian’s imagination ran wild upon hearing the sound.

This hotel had bad soundproof walls.

Even without activating his ability, he could hear Tan Mo’s humming distinctly.

With his clairaudience ability activated, he could hear the faintest sound at an extremely low decibel.

The sound of Tan Mo stepping on the floor, touching the water, pressing the pump of the shampoo bottle dispenser, washing her hair, applying shower gel on her skin...

His mental image became more vivid as the thought crossed his mind.

It was as if he could see her fair skin before his eyes...

And the way her fingertips touched every part of her body slowly and gently.

With the bath foam covering her form, her skin that gradually turned pinky from the hot water shower could subtly be seen through the bubbles.

Her skin exuded the aroma of the shower gel. Her natural body scent was emitted after the hot water shower gushed down on her.

Wei Zhiqian wanted to close in on her and reach his hands toward her tummy in his little fantasy.

At that moment, his mind was out of control like pandemonium reigned.

His mental version of Tan Mo inside his head would not leave him alone.

Not only was Tan Mo’s showering sound coming from the other side not helping, but it only made his imagination became more realistic.

Even so, Wei Zhiqian was unwilling to shift his attention from the sound. In fact, he was somewhat addicted to it.

He felt his throat go dry. His body was scorching like there was a fire burning inside.

With that, he turned on the cold water and rinsed himself under it.

Nevertheless, it would not quench the inextinguishable flame inside him.

Wei Zhiqian hurriedly washed his face with the running cold water.

Since it was a spontaneous plan to travel there, he had not brought along his usual toiletries. Hence, he could only use the ones provided by the hotel.

Typically, the personal hygiene products in the chain hotels were of subpar quality.

Moreover, the one this hotel provided was a large bottle of hair shampoo, unlike those tiny bottles that hotel guests could bring back with them.

Wei Zhiqian reached his hand toward the pump of the shampoo dispenser and was about to squeeze some hair shampoo out of it.

His hand slipped while he was at it as he was absent-minded.

As a result, the whole shampoo bottle dropped on the floor and created a loud echoing noise in the bathroom.

On the other side of the wall, Tan Mo heard that sound and was in a dazed state.

She recalled that Wei Zhiqian was staying next to her room.

Did that mean he was showering in the bathroom as well?

Nonetheless, she had no idea what caused that noise earlier.

Did Wei Zhiqian drop something in the basin or was he showering?

Upon recollecting the room layout, Tan Mo could tell that the shower area was on the other side of the wall. Next to it was the toilet bowl, followed by the sink.

If the noise coming from the other was that close, it meant that Wei Zhiqian was indeed standing in the shower.

The water coming out of the showerhead was still splashing on her skin, and her body was warmed by it.

Tan Mo immediately placed her hands against the wall. She had goosebumps across her body as it was icy cold.

After slowly getting used to the temperature, she pressed her ear against the wall, trying to pick up every sound from the other side.

Since she did not have an acute sense of hearing like Wei Zhiqian, the noise of the shower behind her drowned out the sound from the other side.

Just then, Tan Mo turned the shower off.

The weather was pretty hot of late, and the shower area was still warm with the water gushing down earlier. So, Tan Mo did not feel cold just yet.

After listening carefully, she could hear the sound of water hitting the ground.

Thus, Tan Mo presumed that Wei Zhiqian was also showering.

‘Oh, dear me! Are we showering at the same time?’

Although there was a wall between them, it didn’t do any justice since its soundproofing was basically next to nothing.

If she could hear the earlier noise with her average hearing, Wei Zhiqian would most likely have picked up every sound produced from her side as though the wall was non-existent.

The only missing link was that he could not see through it. But there was nothing to prevent him from hearing everything.

Tan Mo held her breath in a panic when the epiphany moment occurred.

Her face was red up to her ears as her heart pounded like a drum in her chest.

Could it be that Wei Zhiqian had been listening to the sound of her washing herself?

With his superhuman hearing, he could definitely hear every single thing.

Tan Mo was suddenly brimming with awkwardness.

After Wei Zhiqian was done rinsing the shampoo bubble out of his hair, he sensed something amiss.

It took him several seconds before he noticed what had gone wrong.

There was no sound coming from Tan Mo’s side anymore.

Was she done showering already?

Judging from the sound he picked up moments ago, Tan Mo shouldn’t have done with her bath yet.

Meanwhile, Tan Mo listened more intently as the sound from Wei Zhiqian’s side could no longer be heard.

While she was pressing her ear against the wall, her elbow accidentally knocked the shower gel bottle on the shelf.

As the bottle size was miniature, it fell over after the impact from her elbow and knocked the hair shampoo and hair conditioner bottle down in the process.

The three bottles that collided with each other made a bumping noise.

Consequently, the hair conditioner bottle that was placed on the last fell out from the shelf.

Noticing that, Tan Mo bent over to catch it frantically.

Hearing the sound, Wei Zhiqian couldn’t help but exclaim, “Momo?”

Wei Zhiqian’s voice could be heard coming from the other side. It had an echo effect as he was in the bathroom.

“U-uncle!” Tan Mo blurted out in consternation. “Did you know that I was in the bathroom?”

“I heard you singing earlier.” Wei Zhiqian chuckled.” I never knew that you have the habit of singing in the shower.”

Tan Mo remarked silently, ‘Well, of course. We’ve never taken a shower together before.’

Tan Mo slapped her mouth hastily the moment the thought came to her mind.

‘Oh my God! What was I even thinking?’

‘How did I end up imagining myself taking a shower with him?’

Following that, she recalled the moment she started humming a song.

It only lasted for a short period in the beginning because she began washing her hair after a while. As a matter of course, the foam and water flowed from her hair to her face.

To avoid the bubbles from getting into her eyes and being choked by the water, she closed her eyes and stopped breathing through her nose.

Needless to say, she could not continue singing anymore.

Hence, she only hummed a song at the start after she started showering.
