Abis turned his head away quickly when he saw that she was safe and sound…
He struggled to quell the desire that kept stirring within him…
Mai Xiaomai sighed in relief, and when she looked down she saw that she wasn't exposing anything undue, feeling that she had overreacted before.
So, she continued to soak at ease.
It was so comfortable that she closed her eyes and inadvertently fell asleep.
Hot springs are different from bathtubs.
The water in a bathtub will turn cold after a while.
A hot spring is constantly at the same temperature.
She was really tired and fell into a deep, blissful sleep in the comforting hot spring.
She did not know how long she had slept when a mosquito buzzing by her ear woke her up.
When she opened her eyes, she discovered it was already dark.
The azure sky was dotted with stars, and a crescent moon was reflected on it, exceptionally bright.
She quickly looked ahead.
In the dim night light, Abis still stood with his back to her.
