After the hot water was ready, he went out of the cave again.
Inside the cave, there was a small compartment separated by animal skin hanging like curtains, so Xue Ganggang could wash in there without being seen by anyone.
When Xue Ganggang finished washing, she found that there wasn't much water left in the stone vat, so washing the clothes was not an option. It was dark outside, so she planned to find a place with water the next day to wash the clothes she had changed out of.
Bai Xing didn't return until late at night.
When he returned, Xue Ganggang had already fallen asleep, not on the stone bed but on the ground, where a piece of animal skin had been laid out. She had a slight frown on her brow as if she wasn't sleeping comfortably.
