"Emperor, Emperor…" Outside the Hot Spring Pavilion, Shen Quan raised his voice and called out.
Yan Xiu let out a barely audible sigh, reached out to grab Li Yuyu's wrist, and when she tried to struggle free again, he snapped in a low voice, "Stand still, watch your footing or you'll slip."
Li Yuyu had just opened her mouth when her foot really did slip; flustered, she pitched straight into Yan Xiu's arms.
...
Miscalculated.
Yan Xiu set Li Yuyu upright again, the corners of his lips lifting. "Beloved concubine, don't be impatient. Once I've dealt with the matter outside, I'll come back and keep you company."
Li Yuyu: ...
Take your time; I won't see you out!
Yan Xiu stepped out of the hot spring, his whole body dripping wet, and with his back to Li Yuyu, took off the Dragon Robe that had been soaked through.
Ah!
Li Yuyu let out a soft cry and covered her eyes with both hands.
But she couldn't control her curiosity; she continued openly peeking through her fingers.
