Vote!There was Exactly six hours left until the Chinese army was to set off to war against the Turks in the East. Bao wanted to begin the big day ahead of her day with a nice warm calming swim in the hot springs nearby, she usually had her swim very early in the morning before any of the other soldiers woke up. She grabbed her black army uniform and the heavy gold armour that once belonged to her father. She held the armour close to her heart and whispered "I promise to make you proud Father and brother even if it means I have to die".
Bao left her tent heading towards the hot spring that was located behind the green forest near the war camps. The sky was bright blue with a hint of pink clouds and the sun was just rising, the winter air was chilly causing Bao to shiver. The walk to to the hot springs was quite short but it was difficult to get by due the icy, slippery ground but Bao managed to keep her balance. When she arrived she quickly scanned the area to make sure nobody was there to see her naked which would be total a catastrophe. She then removed her clothes until there was not a single piece of cloth covering her soft petite body and released her dark hair from a tight bun falling down to her waist.
Bao slowly walked in to the steamy lake getting deeper in to the water. The steam radiated her body soothing all her aching muscles, this made her feel calm and refreshed. All her worries left her and she finally got a peace of mind.
"Ahh it's been awhile since I've felt so relaxed", she said splashing her face with water.
The young lady swam around the lake for awhile stopping to take a breath when she turned to see a figure abruptly approaching the lake.Bao's heart sank her breath quickened she didn't know what to do either hide under the water or swim away fast, just as she was about to duck under the water a voice called her.
"Hong! Hong! Wait for me!"
She knew the familiar voice from somewhere it only took her a few seconds to know who it was and duck under water.Crown Prince Jian! NO WAY!
She said to herself underneath the water hoping he'd go away before she had to go up for air.
"Hong?! Where'd you go? Let me join you on your swim!" Jian said taking off his clothes.
This was by far the one most embarrassing moments Bao has ever had she was now exposed to the prince, she was praying to the gods he would change his mind and leave but no she could hear him enter the lake. Out of breath she slowly went up out of the water making sure only her face was showing and her lower body was under the lake. Bao covered her chest with her hands and made sure she was faced away from Jian."Hong why are you facing away from me? Are you perhaps shy? It's okay we're both men you shouldn't feel awkward !", Jian said.
Bad coughed uncomfortably turning her head slightly to look at Jian.
"Whatever you do don't look!" She shouted.
"Don't worry I won't look I'll face other way if that'll make feel better", Jian replied doing what he said he'd do.
