I write novels in Liyue

The color of moonlight, the fragrance of women.

Clear hot water gurgled from the delicate faucet, and the warm pool water, steaming with moisture, blurred the moonlight hanging on the wall.

This could be considered a scene of enchanting moonlight.

Fang Qiu smiled and looked away, turning to Shen He who was walking in front of her.

Her beauty is beyond compare.

Shenhe...

Fang Qiu's pretty face flushed slightly as she followed Shen He into the open-air bath.

The body warmed up instantly when enveloped in hot water.

"Mmm...that feels so good."

With a soft moan, Fang Qiu collapsed limply into the pool.

They sat quietly in the pool, watching the fine snowflakes drifting down from the sky.

"Shen He".

"Ok?"

"Are you having a good time in Liyue Harbor?"

Looking at the snow-covered landscape, Fang Qiu asked this question.

"happy."

Just as Fang Qiu was about to say "That's good," Shen He continued, "With you here, I'm happy no matter where I am."

Fang Qiu was taken aback at first, then subconsciously turned her head and met Shen He's eyes.

Shen He was not wearing a red rope at the moment, and with her beside him, she suppressed Shen He's Lonely Star Calamity.

At this moment, Shen He's eyes had lost their dazed look, and his eyes seemed to be filled with an unknown emotion.

They looked at each other like that.

Fang Qiu felt her cheeks burning hot and her heart pounding wildly, just like when she saw Hu Tao's face getting closer and closer that morning.

What's wrong with me...?

"Your editor said that if you like someone, you should kiss her. I just kissed you while you were sleeping."

Shen He gazed at Fang Qiu with calm eyes, showing no remorse or hesitation.

"But... is the kind of 'liking' you're talking about? Isn't it the kind of liking that exists between family members?"

Fang Qiu bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with panic and hesitation.

"No, you are different to me from Zhenjun and the others."

Shen He shook his head and said, "So, after you wake up, I'll tell you again."

Before Fang Qiu could think of a reply, she saw Shen He approach. Fang Qiu was taken aback and immediately understood what Shen He wanted to do.

She wanted to kiss him one more time while she was sober.

Fang Qiu's pupils contracted. Before she could react, Shen He had already closed in on her.

She had nowhere to escape.

and……

She would be sad if Shen He escaped, and most importantly, she didn't resist Shen He's approach.

So Shen He pulled her to the edge of the pool and pressed her down from above.

Looking down from a high vantage point.

Then he gradually approached, his eyes filled with deep affection.

Squeeze..., ...shape, rub...

Their red lips met.

Fang Qiu closed her eyes and responded positively.

And so they ended up in the pool.

His breathing became increasingly...

A blush crept onto Fang Qiu's face... a fleeting, uneasy look crossing her face...

A long, lingering kiss.

Then, Shen He stepped back slightly and left...

Fang Qiu finally got the chance... and took a big gulp... her crimson eyes welled up with tears.

Yes... there is...

"I have a strange feeling... Why is that? I want to do more with you, but I don't know how... Fang Qiu, do you know?"

Shen He's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.

"I……"

Fang Qiu blushed deeply and didn't know what to say for a moment.

She does know...

Most importantly, she wasn't ready yet, and besides, there was Hu Tao...

For a moment she was at a loss, not knowing how to answer Shen He.

Is it really... going to happen...?

However, in the bathing area………………

This is a bit beyond the scope of the curriculum...

We should... wait until... then...

Just then, a knock on the door was accompanied by a familiar voice.

"Fang Qiu, are you home? This is Paimon."

"It's Paimon's voice. The travelers have arrived. Let's get dressed and go out to greet them."

Fang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said.

After saying that, he felt it was a bit strange and quickly changed his words to, "Welcoming guests."

"Ah."

Although Shen He was somewhat disappointed,

But she nodded nonetheless.

They left the pool together, walked back to the changing room, quickly dried themselves off, changed their clothes, and went to greet the guests.

"Is Fang Qiu home? Why isn't she responding? Is she not home? But the lights are on."

Paimon's voice rang out from outside the door.

Fang Qiu wasted no time and went to open the door.

She had assumed that only the traveler and Paimon were outside, but to her surprise, when she opened the door, there were many other people besides the two of them.

They were all girls.

Fang Qiu recognized these people; they were the very beautiful Sumeru girls she had seen when she returned today.

"Paimon, the traveler, who are they?"

Fang Qiu was slightly taken aback.

Shen He stood quietly behind Fang Qiu.

"Fang Qiu, oh, Shen He is here too. Good evening."

Paimon smiled and waved in greeting.

"good evening."

Fang Qiu nodded, and Shen He also greeted them.

"As for them, they are some friends of yours whom I met in Sumeru who really like your books. For some reason, could you let them stay at your house for one night as well?"

Paimon said somewhat embarrassedly, "Don't worry, the traveler and I will pay you."

"No need, no need. Since they are your friends, they are also my friends. It's so cold outside, please come in and sit down."

Fang Qiu said with a smile.

As she spoke, she glanced at two of them who were not in good health.

One of them was so weak that he could barely stand, and looked like he was about to faint at any moment.

Another one had a slightly pale complexion and looked unwell.

The others, however, were not afraid of the wind and snow, and were all looking at Fang Qiu and Shen He with curiosity.

He led them into the house, where the temperature rose, and the two women's complexions improved considerably.

Paimon introduced them one by one, and Fang Qiu also learned about them.

"Hello, my name is Nilu."

"Just call me Dixia."

"Hello, my name is Dina Zede."

"My name is Cole, hello."

"I'm sorry to bother you, my name is Laila."

However, when Paimon introduced Fang Qiu and Shen He to them, they confused them, saying Shen He was Fang Qiu.

It wasn't until Paimon pointed out the difference that they realized what was going on.

As for why they had nowhere to stay, it was because this year's Lantern Festival was so lively that people from many countries flocked there, and the guesthouses were already fully booked.

As for the boat they came on, it was rented out by that unscrupulous merchant.
