Chapter 6 Middle-aged Hunk

Thinking of this, I took a deep breath. To prevent misunderstandings with Dante, ease Rufus's worries, and most importantly, protect Daria's reputation, I went for it! Without hesitation, I opened their bedroom window and carefully climbed towards my room. Thankfully, there weren't many people downstairs at night, and even if there were, they probably wouldn't notice me. With a strong leap, I narrowly made it back to my bedroom balcony. I breathed a sigh of relief, my forehead covered in cold sweat. If I did this again, I might not be so lucky. Thank goodness for my agility; otherwise, today might have ended differently. It was only then that I realized my body was drenched in sweat, feeling sticky. Sighing, I tidied up my clothes and headed towards the bathroom. However, as soon as I opened the bathroom door, my eyes almost popped out! Ana! Why? Why was Ana in the bathtub?! Why didn't she close the door while bathing! Immediately, I quickly turned around and closed the bathroom door. I heard a somewhat panicked voice from inside the bathroom. "Don't come in yet, I'll be done in a moment." "Oh, ok." Upon hearing Ana's words, I nodded nervously, feeling a bit parched, and quickly rushed to sit on the sofa. Occasionally glancing back at Rufus's room, making sure he didn't notice anything, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, I turned on the TV, but my mind was no longer focused on watching programs. At this moment, all I could think about was the scene I had just witnessed when opening the door! Vaguely, I felt like I saw something? This reminded me of a scene from watching Naruto before, a particularly memorable one... It turns out some girls can really float on the water! Suddenly, a smooth and delicate hand patted my shoulder. "I'm fine now, Milo, you can go." Startled! Does Ana always walk without making any noise?! The sudden shoulder pat startled me, and just as I was about to stand up, Ana pressed me down on the sofa. "Where did you go just now? Why are you all sweaty?" Hearing Ana's question, I involuntarily shivered. I couldn't say I jumped back from Daria's balcony, could I? "I... I'm used to jogging at night. It feels uncomfortable if I don't, so I went for a run just now." Hmmm. Hearing my explanation, Ana nodded as if she didn't care. However, Ana had already crossed over to the sofa and sat next to me. Seeing my somewhat lost expression, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, pinching my nose. "Milo, what are you thinking while staring at me?" "Nothing, I..." Hearing Ana's words, I blushed and turned my face away. Ana thoughtfully looked me up and down, then directly hugged my arm. "So, these sturdy muscles are all from running, huh? Good habit. When are you going to take Rufus with you?" As she spoke, Ana's voice suddenly raised as she shouted towards Rufus's room. However, there was only silence from the bedroom, and I even faintly heard a hint of snoring? Inadvertently, I felt a shock in my heart. Rufus couldn't have fallen asleep, right? So now, in the bedroom, it's just Ana and me who are still awake? A man and a woman alone in a room... Gulp! I subconsciously swallowed, looking towards Ana beside me. Because of the recent shower, there was a familiar fragrance of camellia flowers from time to time. Ana blinked, then suddenly reached towards my thigh. Seeing her move, I was surprised, my mind wanted to get up, but my body obediently stayed put. Just when I was excited and almost couldn't control myself, Ana suddenly leaned close to my cheek and asked in a teasing manner. "Where did you go, for a run or something else?" "I... of course, I went for a run. It's important to stay active while young." "Hehe." Upon hearing my words, Ana laughed, shaking her head playfully, "You're lying!"
