Sonata: Fleeing to Avoid an Arranged Marriage(Hiatus)

Chapter 23.2

She touched her lips with her fingertips unconsciously, and when she realized what she was doing, she sprung up. 

Nope, she can’t sleep at all.

She walked around the room a few times and decided to go to the hot spring for a bubble bath again.

She sorted out her things and hugged them towards the hot spring pools.

Few people spend their nights in the pools and even fewer go dipping in the open-air hot spring pool. After Mi Qing arrived, she first looked around to see if anyone was there.

The hot spring pool was located a bit off the villa. It was a bit oblique, seemingly like that of a rolling mountain range during the day. At this point in time, it was strangely quiet.

The ghost stories that she has just heard in the KTV room just popped back into her mind inexplicably. Although there was no atmosphere at that time, when she envisioned them here, it was as creepy even with the absence of background music.

Mi Qing swallowed her saliva, and finally took a step into the hot spring. There was a person sitting inside, his black hair dangled above his head, and a few strands of them fell down naturally.

Her back was facing Mi Qing, so Mi Qing couldn’t see her face.

…..

Mi Qing hesitated for a moment. Anyway, were there people like her, who would come to the open-air hot spring at night?

She stood in place, wondering whether to call that person, but what would happen if she’ll just shake her head back and forth?

Mi Qing shivered and hugged the towel in her arms tightly.

The person in the pool seemed to have noticed the movement behind her and looked back.

 It was a young girl who had been soaking for a while. Her cheeks were bright red. When she saw Mi Qing, she smiled at her with a little embarrassment: “Are you going to take a dip in the pool?”

“Yeah.” Mi Qing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

The girl stood up a little embarrassed, and she was only wrapped with a bath towel: “Because it’s an open-air, and a mixture of men and women, it is too embarrassing during the day, so I wanted to come over when no one is here at night.

Mi Qing smiled back: “Me too.”

The girl came out of the hot spring and smiled at her: “I’m soaked up, enjoy yourself.”

When Mi Qing saw her leave, she piled her hair on top of her head, went to the dressing room, changed her clothes, and wrapped a towel around her.

The wind outside was a little bit cold. She took three mincing steps and two steps. She quickly walked to the hot spring, tried the water temperature first, and then slowly sat down.

“Huhu–” Mi Qing took a long breath, the hot spring is really much more comfortable. The surroundings were quiet, Mi Qing looked up and even spotted a few stars in the sky.

She sank herself slowly, revealing only the area above her nose in the water.

Her body slowly became warmer and warmer. With the flow of blood, Mi Qing felt that her brain also seemed clearer.

Wasn’t it just a kiss? It wasn’t a kiss at all, it was just his lips touching hers, it doesn’t matter.

After so comforting herself for a while, she heard the faint sound of footsteps behind her. She raised her eyebrows and opened her eyes. Did the girl just now forget something?

She glanced back, and without seeing anyone, stood up from the hot spring. Gently closing the towel around her body, Mi Qing just stepped out of the hot spring, when she saw a figure bathed in the moonlight coming in from the outside.

The moment their eyes met, both were dumbfounded.

…… She can even meet Xiao Gu even in the hot spring!

Xiao Gu was still well dressed, probably just to check first if anyone was in the hot spring. Mi Qing stayed flustered for two seconds before finally realizing that she was sopping wet and only wrapped in a bath towel, her face burned instantly.

She wanted to run back to the locker room to change into her clothes, but this move was too sudden and shaky, that the bath towel that she has just closed suddenly slipped down.

Mi Qing: “…”

Xiao Gu: “…”

Xiao Gu quickly took off his coat and covered Mi Qing after a short stupefying moment.

Mi Qing stood rigidly by the hot spring, with her eyes seemingly running out of focus.

Xiao Gu’s eyes flickered a little, and didn’t know where to look. He pursed his lips slightly and asked, “Are you okay?”

Mi Qing stayed silent for a while before screaming: “Ah — !!!!”

This loud shout cut through the sky, and only one thought remained particularly clear in Mi Qing’s jumbled thoughts.

Let her drown in the hot spring
