After washing her hair, Zhu Yu slipped into the bathing tub. She submerged herself entirely in the warm, clear water, except for her head, feeling the warm steam enveloping her face.
Every pore on her body seemed to feel a long-lost relaxation.
As her nerves relaxed, her eyelids began to feel heavy.
Zhu Yu leaned the back of her head against the wooden tub's edge, trying hard to keep her eyelids from closing, but she finally gave in.
She didn't know how long it had been, but when she opened her eyes, she found it was already quite dark around her. She was lying in a warm bed, wrapped up in a quilt, and appeared to have been asleep for quite a while.
But wasn't I taking a bath...?
Hmm?!
Zhu Yu was startled and quickly tried to get up. As soon as she moved, an arm suddenly wrapped around her waist, pulling her and the quilt back and locking her into a warm embrace.
