"You said you rescued me from the riverbank?"
The man didn't understand, but he nodded nonetheless.
Nanzhi tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart and lay half-reclined on the bed.
Seeing that he meant no harm, Nanzhi took a small sip and swallowed.
The dry throat was moistened by the water, just like a rain shower on a parched and cracked field.
A wave of warmth spread from around my stomach, making me feel incredibly comfortable.
