The Residual Warmth in Mrs. Gu's Tea Room Is a Warm Gift

Teacher Gu is my benefactor in my career and the beacon in my life. He single-handedly promoted me from a fresh graduate to the backbone of the firm. To me, he is like a teacher and a father. And his wife Su Wan is a scene that I dare not look directly at. She is two years younger than me, and has the gentleness of a Jiangnan water town, but there is always a hint of alienation and wildness hidden in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. Every time I went to Teacher Gu's house for dinner, I would deliberately keep a distance from her and lock my eyes on Teacher Gu, as if this could resist her fatal attraction. Until that rainy night, Teacher Gu flew abroad to attend a lecture and asked me to send an urgent document to his home. When she opened the door for me, she had just come out of the bath. She was wrapped in a silk nightgown, and her wet hair was dripping with water. A drop of water slid down her slender neck and towards her deep collarbone... My breath caught in that moment.
