"Ah!"
The hot water poured down, startling the gecko clinging to the wall below the window. It flailed its tail and ran wildly. Mu Qiu caught sight of it from the corner of her eye and screamed instinctively in shock.
She then stepped back in a panic, stiffly plastering herself to the corner, staring face to face with the gecko which had stopped on the opposite wall.
Mu Qiu clutched her chest, goosebumps rising all over.
The hot water was still pouring down, and the gecko started to crawl around anxiously again. Mu Qiu had no choice but to stand in the middle and carefully turn off the water.
Her hair and body were wet, but she couldn't continue showering; she had to find a way to get this "little buddy" out first.
Mu Qiu pressed her lips together, not daring to miss a single move of the gecko.
