He Jing's cheeks instantly turned bright red, feeling like she had done something incredibly embarrassing, and she glared at Yan Hanxi.
It's all his fault. He had to keep talking about hot springs in her ear, and before he knew it, he had persuaded her, causing her to act foolishly due to her emotional turmoil.
Yan Hanxi coughed lightly, considerately averting his eyes, and said softly, "Do you need some essential oil? Or perhaps a little wine?"
He Jing said, "No need."
All she wants to do right now is soak in the water and get back home.
Fortunately, Yan Hanxi didn't stare at her the whole time, which made her feel less socially awkward.
Then, the two fell silent for a moment. He Jing looked at the ground, and Yan Hanxi looked at the tree. The ambiguous atmosphere that had just dissipated suddenly returned.
This was the first time He Jing had faced such a situation, and she couldn't help but grip the ground with her toes, feeling a strange sense of shyness.
Although she was rich, beautiful, and powerful before she transmigrated, and had many suitors, she never had any ambiguous relationships with any of them. She could shut down any suitor's inappropriate remarks in a thousand ways.
She once remembered that after her senior in college had pursued her relentlessly for five years without success, he said to her helplessly, "Although I know you don't like me, you don't need to be a troll."
He Jing was completely bewildered as her senior methodically listed out her argumentative remarks: "I said I truly like you and would pluck the stars for you, and you said China hasn't yet developed a rocket to send non-astronauts into space; I said you're as vibrant and beautiful as a rose, and you said roses have thorns and aren't among the delicate flowers; I said I can support you, buy you bags, diamonds, and everything you want, and you said you recently went to a temple and were baptized by Buddhism, becoming free from desires; I gave you a pink diamond worth 30 million, and you looked at the facets of the pink diamond with a magnifying glass and said the diamond wasn't perfect and didn't have much collectible value."
"Although I know my persistent pursuit may annoy you, the way you rejected me truly frustrated me. I will not bother you anymore. Thank you for your unwavering rejection, which made me see reality clearly."
He Jing was speechless, and had no way to express her bitterness—
Actually, she had feelings for him, but she didn't know how to respond to what he said, so she just replied as he was.
Later, He Jing brushed up on her skills in interacting with men and women, and was able to handle all sorts of men with ease.
But can someone teach her how to handle this? Yan Hanxi isn't saying a word, just a smiling look from him, and the situation is already so strange.
There were no sweet words or flirtatious hints from other adult men. He simply stood there, pretending to casually admire the flowers and plants by the hot spring, while subtly and overtly watching her out of the corner of his eye, which made the air temperature rise to its highest point.
He was so innocent, his ears and neck were red, and the corners of his mouth were brightly upturned, revealing his youthful heart.
Even before he'd gone in the water, he was already beaming with joy.
He Jing's heart pounded faster, but her expression remained unchanged. She tried her best to keep her tone calm, and after a while, she asked, "Aren't you going into the water?"
Yan Hanxi finally turned around and looked at her intently: "You go first, I'm afraid I'll get the water dirty."
He Jing did not refuse. She took the long bath towel draped over her shoulder, placed it on the shore, and slowly went into the water.
The bathrobe, which was originally quite loose, clung tightly to He Jing's body as soon as it got wet. In the blink of an eye, He Jing sank into the water, but Yan Hanxi still managed to see the graceful curves of the girl's body.
