Stella was breathless when Matthew finally let go of her lips. She said in a trembling voice, “I know I was wrong. Go to take a shower first. I’ll come back later. Okay, honey?”
Upon hearing her beg in a soft voice, Matthew didn’t make things difficult for her anymore. He ki*sed her two more times before letting her go. “Okay, come back later.”
Stella waited for Matthew to enter the bathroom. When she heard the sound of the water from the shower, she slowly stood up and straightened her clothes.
At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. It was a notification that she had a new email.
She picked up her phone and checked. It was from Bella.
Stella’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she swiftly clicked open the email.

The message unfolded in a typical format. Stella skimmed past the formalities, focusing on the core message. “I’m seeking a student to embark on a long-term journey with me. If you’re interested, you’re welcome to participate in this selection.”
Stella blinked, re-reading the words several times to ensure it was indeed an invitation from Bella.
She had initially dismissed Bella’s previous message as mere small talk, never expecting that Bella would actually remember and offer her such an opportunity.
Without hesitation, Stella drafted her response. “Count me in for the selection.”
Even after hitting send, she remained in exhilaration and disbelief.
She placed her hand over her racing heart, taking a moment to regain composure.
Matthew emerged from the bathroom, catching sight of Stella lost in thought on the edge of the bed. Approaching her, he inquired softly, “Is everything alright?”
Meeting his gaze, Stella observed Matthew wrapped in a bath towel.

His damp hair tousled across his forehead, lending him a softer, more approachable aura than his usual demeanor.
Caught in his intense stare, Stella felt a blush creep across her cheeks, prompting her to avert her eyes. “Nothing.”
Noticing her blush, Matthew grinned warmly. He casually approached the wardrobe, retrieving his pajamas and changing with an air of nonchalance as if the room were empty.
Stella’s cheeks flushed deeper as she closed her eyes, feeling her heartbeat quicken.
Finishing changing, Matthew approached the bedside, aware of Stella’s shyness but unable to resist teasing her. He lightly pinched her cheek. “After all this time living together, why are you still so shy?”
Startled, Stella opened her eyes and swatted his hand away, her face growing redder.
Leaning in close, Matthew whispered in her ear, “Your turn.”
Startled by his suggestion, Stella sought a quick escape, pushing him away. “I’m going to take a shower.”
However, as soon as she attempted to stand up, Matthew held her once more, preventing her from leaving his side.
“I can manage on my own.”
