As Shao Yan stepped out to the outdoor area, the wind started to blow on her exposed bare skin. Shao Yan could not help to shudder a little.

Even though it was a shared pool, she learned that the women were still expected to have the wide towel wrapped properly on her body.

Shao Yan sighed in relief when she heard that.

It was a little later part of the night, and so that was why there was not so many people around. Shao Yan looked around and spotted Li Xiqing who was standing in the corner; waiting for her.

Barefooted, she walked slowly on the stone path towards him. He was standing with his back facing her; his arms folded in front of him as he was reading the rules and regulations board.

Li Xiqing saw a shadow was gradually closing in, he turned around and saw Shao Yan was tiptoeing towards him.

He had a towel wrapped around his waist with his chest and stomach fully exposed.

Even though Shao Yan had seen him naked many times, with this kind of view out in the open still made a pink blush gradually crept on her cheek.

When she stood in front of him, he looked at her hair which she had tied up. Li Xiqing smiled, "Are you cold?" As he tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear.

Shao Yan shook her head, "No, I'm fine. The weather is chilly, but it's still alright." And then she flashed him a gentle smile.

Li Xiqing nodded and then grabbed hold of her hand; they walked to the spring together.

The pool was automatically divided into three sections; a group of men only, another group of women only, and a group of couples.

Li Xiqing walked over to the couple section, but tried to stay a little further away from others to respect their privacy. He also made sure Yan Yan's body was slightly hidden behind him as they walked around the pool.

He hated the idea of other people looking at the naked Yan Yan, even though she had a towel on her body.

After he found the spot that he liked, Li Xiqing took off the towel on his waist, and lowered himself to the hot spring pool. He reached out his hand to guide Yan Yan into the pool.

Shao Yan folded the towel that he handed over to her and put it on the side, and then she reached out her hand and placed it on his palm.

"Don't rush to get in, test the water temperature with your toes first," he quickly said as she dipped her feet into the pool. His hand was holding her hand firm, he was scared she might slip.

Shao Yan gingerly stepped in, and the heat surprised her so much; she reflexively jerk her feet out. Li Xiqing had his hand wrapped around hers; keeping her steady. Shao Yan looked up at him, "That surprised me," and then she smiled shyly.

After a few seconds, she started to adjust herself to the hot temperature and started to dip herself more into the water.

"Are you alright?"

They were soaking in the hot spring pool for a while now. The hot water had relaxed her tired body from the flight and the long ride. Shao Yan gradually felt that all her muscles were soothed immediately.

Li Xiqing saw her flushed cheek, and he started to worry if she would be overheated. Shao Yan was leaning back to the stone wall, "En, it's very relaxing," she said while slowly scooping the water with her palm and poured it over her shoulder.

And then she paused. Shao Yan leaned in to her right side, getting closer to him and whispered, "Although at first, I felt so awkward, they are all naked after all."

After she finished saying that, Shao Yan gradually realized that Li Xiqing was also naked, and was sitting comfortably by her side.

Her eye sights slowly traveled down from his handsome face to his st.u.r.dy chest. Shao Yan kept going to his lean waist and downwards. The water by the stream was more pure and clear.

She could see all that she wanted to see. With the moonlight s.h.i.+ning onto them, Shao Yan was admiring the view in front of her. Innuendo and s.e.xual tension slowly arises between her minds.

Suddenly her eye sights were blocked. All she saw was darkness.

Li Xiqing had stretched out his left palm and closed her eyes.

Shao Yan could feel him breathing closer to her cheek. Her heart was beating erratically as she felt Li Xiqing was leaning closer; and then she heard him whispering, "Stop looking, Yan Yan," he paused as he skimmed her eyes all over her face, "Or you will trigger something you should not." He kissed her cheek.

When he was about to let go of his palm over her eyes, he saw a slow grin was slowly formed on her lips.

"Xiqing, I haven't done anything yet, why are you so nervous?" she said slowly and seductively; seeming teasing him.

Li Xiqing looked at her sly smile and she was chuckling. He was about to say something, when he felt her fingers slowly crept up on his thighs, caressing his skin under the water.

Feeling stunned at his wife's teasing, he shook his head helplessly. His wife was either really innocent, or actually, she was a sly fox in disguise.

Still lingering by her ears, Li Xiqing decided to tease her back, "Yan Yan, don't joke around. I'll be walking around with a tent. Do you really want that?" And then Li Xiqing kissed her earlobe.

Shao Yan, with her eyes still covered with his hands, felt a tingle of warm, ecstatic feeling inside her.

'How long has it been?' she wondered.

She missed him so much.

'No, that's wrong,' she thought, and then immediately corrected herself. Not just him. Shao Yan missed achieving the feeling of being at the highest peak of pleasure.

She wanted Li Xiqing.

Having made up her mind, her hand slowly covered his hand on her eyes, and pulled it off.

Shao Yan looked at him straight in the eyes, "Xiqing, I'm tired, let's go back to the room, shall we?"

Her fingers wrapped around his wrist, and she lightly squeezed them.

Anxiously waiting for him to answer.
