Asking A Lot

Wu Jian and Hou Jingshu fled the training hall out of embarrassment. They wandered the airship for lack of anything better to do. Had this been before what happened in the training hall, they would have had no end of topics to discuss, but they were too embarrassed to say anything now.

Their hands brushed against each other several times, and each time, they would jerk away from each other as if scalded. One would have thought they would be closer after sleeping together, but now they were keenly aware of the other people looking at them.

It wasn’t long before they found themselves on the deck, in the same place they had met last night.

The night that had changed everything.

“Maybe… it would be better if we kept our distance from each other?” Wu Jian suggested.

“What? Why?” Hou Jingshu didn’t quite look hurt, but the expression she wore did not sit well with him.
