Chapter 540: Chapter 549: Hot Springs (6)

But the moment her fair feet stepped into the hot spring, it felt as if every current in her body was activated. Submerged in the warm spring waters, the fatigue that weighed on her seemed to ebb away slowly with the rippling azure waves.

The air in the mountain woods was fresh. Sitting in the spring, she looked up at the sky. It was hard to imagine that in a place as polluted as Shangcheng, there was still an area where one could see the heavens above. A gentle river of stars flowed overhead, with twinkling stars all around, dotting the sky like little night lights, enchanting and comforting.

She buried everything below her head in the hot spring, curling up as if tucked in a mother’s womb, and sat in the corner of the spring.

Her relationship with Yu Zexiao was truly a mess. At first, she had been determined to leave, especially when she thought that he had no affection for her at all, the urge to leave grew even stronger.

But now, Yu Zexiao had clearly developed feelings for her. And she... she liked him too. Although what Yu Zexiao did yesterday was over the top for her, aside from a little indignation over being deceived and a bit of embarrassment, she didn’t particularly dislike his actions.

It was over! In the past, if Yu Zexiao had dared to deceive her like that, she would have kicked him to the curb without a second thought! But now, she didn’t even know if she would still be able to reject him as firmly as before if Yu Zexiao were to make a suggestive move on her again...

What would she do if she agreed to Yu Zexiao? Would she seriously date and marry him, stepping out from behind the scenes to take center stage, or would she have to reveal her true background to him? Should she join him in facing the formidable wrath of the Situ Family?

Annoyed, she slapped the surface of the water with her palms, creating a splashing sound. She stared blankly at the pool of jade-like waves, feeling bewildered about the future for the first time.

However, there was no time for her to be bewildered at the moment.

Because Yu Zexiao had already woken up and opened the door!

-----------------------------

Yu Zexiao had fallen asleep but woke up groggy in the middle of it, looking at the clock to see it was already one in the morning.

Years of living as an artist had trained him to have irregular sleep patterns. After waking up, he wanted to get some water from the living room. He pushed the door open and stepped out. As he glanced around, he happened to see Jian Anning sitting in the outdoor pool!

Jian Anning was wearing a bikini that was also pink-toned. In the dim light, Yu Zexiao thought for a moment she was skinny-dipping, which caused his blood to surge with excitement!

He had been very tired, but after resting for a couple of hours, he had recovered from the utterly exhausted state. The place where Jian Anning had kneed him viciously last night felt much better after some rest.

Jian Anning was currently enjoying the sensation of the hot spring. Her body was almost completely submerged in the water, warm and somewhat reluctant to move. She even laid her head back against the edge of the pool, with even her ears buried in the water, exposing just part of her face. Because her ears were under water, she didn’t hear Yu Zexiao walking into the living room and approaching her until he suddenly flung open the door leading to the bath, startling her into full awareness!
