"You can dress yourselves, right?" Shuyin asked, her tone matter-of-fact. She wasn't going to coddle them. They weren't babies.
Yuyan nodded immediately. "Of course."
Chen Xiao said nothing, but he nodded too, his expression serious.
"Good," Shuyin said. "Get changed, then come back out. Your hair needs to be dried properly."
The children retreated to the bathroom again, closing the door behind them.
Lu Yuze pulled out a set of clothes for himself, dark gray pants, a black shirt, simple but elegant, and set them on the bed. Then he looked at Shuyin.
"I'm going to shower next," he said. "While the children are getting dressed. It'll be faster that way."
Shuyin nodded. "Go ahead. I'll take care of them when they're done."
Lu Yuze paused, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment longer than necessary. Then he reached out, his fingers brushing lightly against her cheek.
