A starry night, full of chill.
The hot spring villa was in complete silence, with only the faint cooing of pigeons heard from the rooftop.
The man arrived travel-worn, lightened his steps, and pushed open the villa's courtyard door.
The hot spring pool was located indoors on the first floor of the villa, with floor-to-ceiling windows ensuring both temperature and view were catered for. From the courtyard, he could already see the slender silhouette of a girl lying by the hot spring pool.
Half of her body was submerged in the pool, the other half exposed to the air.
Nalan Ye Jue's breath tightened, and his pace quickened a bit.
He pushed the door open, went directly to the constant temperature rack by the pool, pulled off two large towels, and lifted Qin Xin out of the hot spring, wrapping her with a towel.
"You could fall asleep like this... silly girl..."
He carried her towards the bedroom.
