Chapter 31 Spring Colors_1

The bellboy delivered two buckets of water to each of the rooms and then considerately closed the door behind him.

Ling Hua, who had been traveling all day and was exhausted, had no reservations with being alone, took her clothes behind the screen. Without another person waiting to bathe, she wasn't worried about the water getting cold, nor was she in a rush to wash. She submerged herself in the water, not wanting to come out too soon.

Alone in his room, Yan Qing finally escaped the torment of sharing a room with Ling Hua. After enjoying a hearty bath and changing into clean clothes, he listened for any sound from next door but heard nothing. He wondered what Ling Hua was doing. Had she gotten angry? Was she not bathing?

He waited a while longer but still no sound came from her room. Unable to contain his curiosity, he got up, walked out of his room, and called out to her at her door.

No one answered from inside.

He called out three times, but there was still no response.
