The question resurfaced again, refusing to leave him alone. He had seen Shen Jui and Huan Zhan step out of the shower wet countless times before.
It had never affected him.
Not once.
So why had it been different with Hei Bao?
They were all men. Nothing about it should have felt unusual.
Then why had his heart skipped a beat?
Why had he suddenly become so aware of every glimpse of exposed skin, every drop of water tracing down Hei Bao's neck?
Why had his body reacted in a way he couldn't understand?
Gou Feng let out a slow, frustrated breath.
He didn't know.
He truly didn't know.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Elder Memu's gentle voice echoed in his mind.
'Some answers reveal themselves only when the heart is ready to accept them.'
'Until then, there's no use in forcing understanding.'
Gou Feng lowered his gaze.
There was no point chasing an answer he couldn't yet comprehend.
