Qiao Xuan guided him to wash his hands in the stream. She took out a handkerchief, wrung it out, and handed it to him to wipe his face.

Then, when the young man wasn't paying attention, she discreetly retrieved a water bag from her belongings and passed it to him. "Drink this."

"Thank you, sister!" The young man displayed good manners as he graciously accepted the water bag, a silly smile adorning his face. He opened it slowly and began to gulp down the water.

Although he drank without hesitation, his demeanor remained elegant and composed.
