C9 (1/2)

”Looking at the sky again?” Mu Yizi seemed to be familiar with her as she sat on the stone bench beside her and looked up at the cloudless sky.

The woman wasn't too surprised to see Mu Yunji here. She only poured a cup of tea for him.

”Have you ever heard of 'Raising your eyes to see the sun, but no see Chang'an?'” The woman spoke faintly. It was unknown if she was asking a question or sighing with emotion.

Mu Yizi glanced at her as she sipped her tea. ”What's the point of this question?”

The woman smiled lightly and shook her head, ”There was once someone who asked me this question and then disappeared without a trace.”

”And what was your answer?” As if piqued by her interest, Mu Yizi's bright eyes looked forward to the woman's answer.

The woman's eyes also turned red as she looked at the girl who looked very similar to the man sitting in front of her, staring at her with the same pair of bright eyes. My answer is the same as yours. ”

Mu Yizi raised her head and drained the cup of tea in one gulp, then said with a slight smirk, ”Perhaps that person is hoping to see what this question means to you?”

After saying that, Mu Yizi got up gracefully and left without staying any longer. It was time to take a good rest after a tiring day. Plus, she had a hangover yesterday, so the smell of alcohol on her body was still lingering on the tip of her nose even after she changed clothes. It made her feel a little uncomfortable.

There was a natural hot spring at the back of the mountain, and very few people knew of it. From time to time, she would take advantage of everyone's resting time to soak in the hot water and relax her tense nerves.

It wasn't until after dinner that everyone was ready to go to bed. Only then did Mu Yizi gracefully take some clothes and head back up the mountain.

He took off his clothes and stepped into the pool. The warm spring water made him feel relaxed. Mu Yizi was leaning against a rock by the side of the pool, feeling drowsy.

She only opened her eyes when a rustling sound woke her up.

What entered his vision was a blurry figure in red slowly approaching from within the water vapor. It was unknown if it was because she had been soaking in it for too long or because she was too tired, but Mu Youzi's head was spinning and her eyelids felt heavy.

The cute girl in the water slowly closed her eyes again, her face flushing red. Shen Bai hastily jumped into the water, using the clothes in his hands to wrap Mu Yurou up.

He exerted some strength under his feet and flew from the water to the shore. He sat on the ground, afraid that she would catch a cold. Without caring about anything else, he placed her on his lap and leaned against his chest. However, no matter how she called out, Mu Yizi's eyes were still tightly shut.

Glancing at the clothes brought by Mu Yizi, he quickly moved over and threw himself onto them. He carefully placed her on top of it and fanned her with his sleeve.

When Mu Yizi regained consciousness, she felt as if her head was resting on something. Closing his eyes, he tried to recall who he had seen before falling unconscious.

Red clothes, black hair, tall stature … A clear figure gradually appeared in his mind. Wasn't that Shen Bai? Why would he appear here?

It's over, it's over. I'm bathing in the hot spring, but I'm not wearing anything. Didn't that monster see everything?

”If you're awake, then hurry up and get up. Could it be that chief Mu feels that my legs are too comfortable and wants to rest for a while longer?” Shen Bai put down his slightly sore arms and looked at Mu Yizi, who was still pretending to be asleep, and couldn't help feeling a little cute.

Mu Yizi mischievously opened one eye and saw Shen Bai staring at her. She could not continue pretending. As he sat up, his chest turned cold as he remembered that he was not wearing a brothel. On his waist was the clothes that Shen Bai had just put on. He screamed out instinctively, grabbed his clothes and jumped into the pool.

”You, you, you …” This was also the first time Mu Yiran had encountered such a situation. She was so angry that she couldn't speak while hiding in the water and pointing at Shen Bai.

Shen Bai slowly stood up and looked at his half-wet clothes. Then, he looked at the clothes in Mu Yizi's hands that were completely soaked in the hot spring. He couldn't help feeling a headache as he stroked his head. It seemed that today's trip was truly unfavorable for him.

”Clan Head Mu, don't worry. I didn't see anything.” However … My only two clothes are now wet because of you. Do you want to see me go out in the light of day? ” Shen Bai looked at the panicking her in the water, his brows slightly raised and the corners of his lips curled up. He did not seem worried at all that he would not be able to change his clothes. On the contrary, it was as if he was admiring Mu Youzi's embarrassment.

Only then did Mu Yizi realize that the clothes in her hands was the same one she had bought for Shen Bai. He looked at the pool side, where he stood, his hair hanging down to his chest was wet and dripping from time to time. A large amount of water had stained his red clothes, and his muscular abdomen could be seen against his waist. She blushed.

”Are you okay?” Seeing Mu Yizi's disfigured face, Shen Bai couldn't help but be a little worried.

Mu Yizi quickly said no, did he want to go into the water to have a look? He felt ashamed to think that he had been so completely naked just now.

Seeing this, Shen Bai felt relieved. Does chief Mu still want to soak in the water for a while longer? ”

Right now, the atmosphere was really awkward. One was naked in the water, while the other was wet in his clothes on the shore.

”No …” ”No need, go over there and turn around. You're not allowed to peek.” Mu Yizi pointed to a large stone not far away. It was a good thing that she had previously discovered that place, otherwise, she really wouldn't know what to do today.

Shen Bai looked towards the direction she was pointing at. He did not say anything further and walked towards that direction. Hiding behind a rock and listening to the rustling of the clothes behind him, he couldn't help but laugh.

”What are you laughing at?” Mu Youzi, who had good hearing, could not help but ask.
