It wasn't too late when then stepped out of the restaurant. Walking through the hall, they saw a bunch of people wearing bathing suits. They were clothed in coats or covered with towels. Outside the window, the city was soaked in darkness and the lights faintly shimmered. It could be seen indistinctly that the hot springs, scattered around the stone steps, steamed as tourists bathed in them.

Lin Qian didn't want to miss these spiritual hot springs. She turned around and asked Li Zhicheng, "Shall we go in?"

Lin Zhicheng had no objections.

It was warm in the hotel, so almost all the tourists walked to the hot springs with their bathing suits on. They brought a change of clothes and went back to their rooms after bathing and showering.

Lin Qian realized what would happen only after following him to the room.

Darn it! We need to get changed in the same room.

This wasn't something outrageous because there was a bathroom in the room. But it was frosted glass instead of a wall that separated the bedroom and the bathroom. Although a person couldn't see what was going on in the bathroom clearly, a blurry outline was visible.

Lin Qian changed in the bathroom and quickly put on a coat. During this, Li Zhicheng sat on the sofa outside, gazing at the glass. She came out of the bathroom and he didn't express any emotion. He then went into the bathroom with his swimming trunks.

Lin Qian felt differently about the situation. She didn't stare at the bathroom, not even the slightest bit. She was the type of person who could take things easy. And now, after getting changed, and knowing that she would frolic with Li Zhicheng in the springs soon, she felt sweet.

Li Zhicheng came out of the bathroom in no time. Like her, he only wore a coat besides the swimming pants. Lin Qian snuck a look at his legs, which were firm and slender. She blushed and followed him out of the room.

There weren't many people in the springs, possibly because it was still early. It was a cold crisp in the evening in the mountains; they walked for a while with towels on and found a pool without people by the hillside.

Li Zhicheng took off the towel, put it on the hanger and walked into the water. Lin Qian looked at him from the back and found it difficult to look away.

Lin Qian was obsessed with handsome faces. In the company accommodation, when she had run into Li Zhicheng coming out of a shower, she knew that he was in great shape. He had the body of a soldier—of an officer. He was fit but not muscular, skinny but not delicate. Looking at his body, the first word that would pop into your head was "invulnerable." And when you looked at his face, the next word would be "handsome."

How could she not like his appearance?

Li Zhicheng sat in the pool and reached out a hand to her. "Come in."

Lin Qian watched him stare at her as she took off the towel. She had often gone to hot springs and beaches with Lin Mocheng in America, all while wearing a bikini. And, of course, men had stared at her from time to time. She had never taken them seriously.

However, being gazed at by Li Zhicheng like this made her feel shy—and a bit smug.

She wore a tankini. The top piece was a v-neck that stopped just below her breasts with a bow that made it pretty and unique. The bottom piece was an extremely short floral swim skirt.

She stood beside the pool, glanced at Li Zhicheng, slowly walked into the walker and sat down beside him.

"The water's pretty warm," she said comfortably.
