The Prophet ﷺ was more shy than a virgin in her separate room. And if he saw a thing which he disliked, we would recognize that (feeling) in his face.  

البخاري:٦١٠٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُتْبَةَ مَوْلَى أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَشَدَّ حَيَاءً مِنَ الْعَذْرَاءِ فِي خِدْرِهَا فَإِذَا رَأَى شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ عَرَفْنَاهُ فِي وَجْهِهِ
