Yun Chi bathed quickly; upon his return, he heard the sound of water from behind the screen and knew Hua Yan had not yet finished her bath.
He sat by the window, sipping tea, waiting for her to come out.
After a while, Hua Yan emerged in a loose robe, her hair wet and dripping. She moved very slowly, coming up to Yun Chi and handing him the towel.
Yun Chi set down his teacup, took the towel, and held her in his embrace to wring her hair dry.
Caiqing finished tidying up behind the screen and quietly closed the door before leaving.
Yun Chi's movements were gentle and meticulous. Seeing her sitting quietly in his arms with her eyes closed, seemingly enjoying the moment, he chuckled softly, "You really know how to enjoy yourself."
