The man leaned lazily against the thick stone slab around the hot spring. The steam rising slowly from the hot water blurred his face. Seemingly hearing the commotion, the water rippled as Su Qinian swam over from the other end of the hot spring pool.
The man with deep-set eyes gradually revealed his face. With a smile on his face, he looked up and reached out his hand carefully to help Lin Jinran, who was about to get into the water.
Lin Jinran untied her bathrobe and put it aside. Her black dress was on display in front of him. Although nothing was exposed, she still felt a bit shy. She clearly felt her cheeks burning, completely out of control.
It must be because of the steaming water vapor, she comforted herself. Stepping on the smooth stone slab beside the hot spring pool, Lin Jinran tightened her grip on Su Qinian's hand.
With a splash, Lin Jinran submerged into the water. She let go of his hand and leaned back. The water vapor turned into droplets and slid on her skin.
Su Qinian lowered his eyes and leaned close to her. His beautiful black eyes fell on her fair and delicate collarbone from time to time.
"Have you... finished writing your letter?" Lin Jinran bit her lip and asked shyly, her hands playing with her fingers under the water.
Another ripple appeared, and Lin Jinran sank a bit deeper. The hot spring water covered her collarbone.
Her misty eyes rippled like the autumn water. Her red and sexy lips parted slightly. The woman's creamy skin showed a faint pink after being soaked in the hot spring. She was indescribably charming and alluring, like a silent temptation.
Su Qinian's throat tightened. He averted his gaze and landed on the simple and plain screens around. Only in this way could the restlessness in his heart subside a little.
"I've thought about how to write it. I'll start writing when I get back later." He said briefly. His eyes became deeper, looking even darker than the night outside.
The two fell into silence again. The camera was silently set up beside them.
[Oh my god, I'm really dying of anxiety. Su Qinian, tell me what you're doing. You two have already confirmed your relationship. Just pick her up and kiss her.]
[You can be a gentleman at any time, but not now. The program team has created a great opportunity. If you don't seize it, when do you want to kiss? It can't be the girl who takes the initiative, right?]
[Alas, does this mean that the more you like someone, the more careful you are, afraid of making mistakes here and there?]
Lin Jinran was not used to the current silence. She licked her dry lips and stared directly at the man in front of her: "I've finished writing mine. I've already handed it to the program team."
"So soon?" Su Qinian turned his head in surprise. When his gaze touched her snow-white and smooth shoulder, he felt parched. His thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly due to self - restraint.
He quickly shifted his gaze upwards. His self - restrained black eyes met Lin Jinran's bright and direct eyes that were rippling with light. His Adam's apple rolled up and down.
But the woman's cheeks were blushing. Her wavy curly hair was wet at the ends and fell on her chest. The soft curves of her V - neck swimsuit were faintly visible, all of which were stimulating Su Qinian's nerves.
He was tense, and his ears were completely red.
"Oops, the strap on my swimsuit back has come loose. Su Qinian, can you help me tie it?" Lin Jinran suddenly felt a coolness on her back. She quickly reached out to touch it and found the loose strap.
Looking at Su Qinian, who was standing there shyly and awkwardly, a hint of cunning flashed in her glass - like eyes.
Since you've been taking the initiative for so many years, why not let her be the one to be proactive, passionate, and brave this time.
Lin Jinran turned around and lay on the smooth and slightly cool thick stone slab. She held the swimsuit strap tightly with one hand. Crystal clear water droplets slid down her snow - like skin.
Not hearing the sound of water from that side for a long time, Lin Jinran whispered and urged: "The live - stream viewers are watching. Su Qinian, hurry up and tie it for me."
Su Qinian came to his senses. His dark eyes glanced at the live - stream room. He wrapped a bath towel from beside the hot spring pool around him and then walked behind Lin Jinran and took the swimsuit strap.
Viewers in the live - stream room: "..."
Thank you so much, Su Qinian.
"Tie it tightly. You can even tie a bow. Maybe I tied it from the back and didn't tie it firmly. It came loose when I got into the water." Lin Jinran pushed all her hair to the front and explained why the strap had come loose.
Su Qinian held the slender strap. His eyelids drooped, and his thick eyelashes cast a shadow. He seemed to be studying how to tie it firmly. The light in the hot spring pool was warm - colored, blending with the color of the water. The distance between the two was close enough, and the blushing and heart - pounding ambiguity slowly spread.
She smelled of a nice rose - scented shower gel. Steamed by the heat, the fragrance spread out in wisps, surrounding him faintly, sweet and fragrant.
Su Qinian carefully tied the strap. His well - defined fingers deftly tied a bow and hung it tightly on her back.
When tightening it again, his warm fingers accidentally touched her slightly cool back. As if being burned, Su Qinian quickly withdrew his hand.
He took a step back, restraining his gaze, and said hoarsely: "Okay. See if it's loose."
Lin Jinran casually touched the back strap: "It's not loose. It's just right."
She turned around, smiling sweetly at Su Qinian. Her cheeks were still blushing, but her glass - like eyes were extremely bright, as if dotted with stars.
Lin Jinran took a step forward, nervously staring at Su Qinian, and said nonchalantly: "You tied it quite well. Can you tell me how you did it?"
Su Qinian took a step back and coughed awkwardly: "It's very simple. Just tie a bow."
Lin Jinran took another step forward. The blush on her face deepened. There was an indescribable charm in her words: "Really? Su Qinian, can you tell me what you were thinking when you tied the strap?"
Su Qinian was slightly stunned. Surprise flashed in his eyes. Being forced by the girl in front of him, he was forced to take a step back, avoiding her direct and burning gaze: "I didn't think about anything."
"Really? Didn't think about anything?" Lin Jinran asked again. Because of nervousness and shyness, and because it was the first time she had done such a bold thing, her eyelashes were trembling and her voice was shaking in the misty water vapor.
Everything was well covered by the sound of the water. The tree shadows were dancing, and the floating light was flickering. All the unknown feelings spread along with the water mist.
"Really, I didn't think about anything." Su Qinian took a step back. Lin Jinran pressed forward step by step, and Su Qinian retreated step by step until his back was against a cold wall. Lin Jinran was already right in front of him.
Su Qinian nervously swallowed his saliva. He didn't know what to say or what to do. He was a bit awkward, and the atmosphere inexplicably became a bit dangerous.
He felt like a little lamb on the chopping board, waiting for Lin Jinran, the big bad wolf, to devour him alive.
Lin Jinran laughed softly. Blushing, she tried hard to stand on tiptoe to look him in the eye.
The person she liked was right in front of her. She was really nervous, and her breathing gradually became rapid.
She lowered her head slightly, and her gaze landed on his lips.
