Hua Yusen froze for a moment before it dawned on him. His relationship with Zhao Nuanyue was a secret. They hadn't gone public for the sake of their mission, so nobody else knew.
That being the case, it really wasn't appropriate for him to walk Zhao Nuanyue home.
"Heh heh... I almost forgot!" Hua Yusen chuckled sheepishly. "My apologies, my apologies. Sorry to trouble you, Aunt Li!"
Li Guihua smiled, her eyes darting between Hua Yusen and Zhao Nuanyue as if she had figured out their secret.
Zhao Nuanyue felt a little awkward. She hadn't been in the water long enough to pass out, but she was cold and couldn't help but shiver.
"Thank you," Zhao Nuanyue said quietly. "ACHOO!"
"Hurry back. Aunt Li, could you make some ginger soup for Nuanyue?" Hua Yusen added. "Thank you for your trouble!"
"It's no trouble at all, it's what I should do." Li Guihua led Zhao Nuanyue away, heading toward the Dragon King Temple.
