160: Chapter 160 Soaking in the hot springs, the atmosphere is perfect.

After saying that, she turned to leave.

Ye Yun quickly reached out, grabbed her wrist, and gently pulled her back.

Caught off guard, Wen Yulan bumped right into his chest.

With her cheek pressed against his chest, her heart beat so fast it felt like it would explode.

Ye Yun looked down at her flushing cheeks, his voice carrying a hint of a smile.

"I do, of course I do. When did I ever say I didn't?"

Wen Yulan buried her face in his chest, not daring to look up, her voice muffled.

"Then why did you pretend not to hear me just now..."

Ye Yun chuckled but didn't explain.

He let go of her and took a step back, looking at her.

Wen Yulan stood there at a loss, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothes, not knowing what to do.

Looking at her embarrassed state, Ye Yun said softly.

"You first, or me?"

Wen Yulan bit her lip, her voice as quiet as a mosquito's buzz.

"Together..."

Ye Yun nodded and said no more.

He turned around, his back to her, and began to remove his robes.

Looking at his back, Wen Yulan's cheeks burned, and her heart drummed in her chest.

She took a deep breath and reached out with trembling hands to untie the sash at her waist.

Her outer robe slipped down, revealing the pale, lustrous skin beneath.

She quickly stripped off the rest of her clothes, head bowed, arms wrapped around herself to hide her charms.

She walked quickly to the edge of the pool and carefully stepped into the water.

The warm current flowed over her ankles, calves, and knees, reaching all the way to her waist.

She crouched down, submerging herself until only her head remained above water, her cheeks flushed from the steam.

Having finished undressing, Ye Yun turned around and saw that she was already in the hot spring.

Without hesitation, he strode to the edge of the pool and stepped into the water.

Wen Yulan instinctively shrank back, pressing her back against the pool wall.

Her arms were crossed over her chest, her head bowed, not daring to look at him.

Ye Yun walked to the opposite side, keeping a few paces of distance, and leaned against the wall as well, closing his eyes and letting out a long sigh.

The warm spring water enveloped his body, and the exhaustion from days of travel slowly dissipated; it was so comfortable he didn't want to move.

Neither of them spoke; there was only the sound of the water gently rippling.

After a long while, Wen Yulan quietly opened her eyes and stole a glance at Ye Yun.

His eyes were closed, his expression serene; amidst the swirling mist, his handsome face appeared even more striking.

Her gaze drifted down from his face, landing on his firm chest.

It lingered on his broad shoulders before she quickly looked away, her cheeks turning even redder.

The water was too clear, so clear that everything beneath the surface was visible.

She could see his lean waist, his long legs, and even his formidable endowment...

Wen Yulan quickly closed her eyes, not daring to look any longer, her heart beating so fast it nearly leaped out of her chest.

Ye Yun opened his eyes and saw her with her eyes tightly shut and her face bright red.

He couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"

Wen Yulan opened her eyes and glared at him, her voice tinged with bashful annoyance.

"The water is too hot."

Ye Yun smiled, not calling her out.

His gaze fell upon her; amidst the mist, her skin was as white as jade, glowing with a soft luster beneath the water.

Only her shoulders and collarbones were visible above the surface.

But everything underwater was faintly visible.

The full curves, the slender waist, and the long legs were all clearly discernible.

Ye Yun's gaze lingered on her for a moment, his Adam's apple bobbing.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the restlessness in his heart, yet he couldn't tear his eyes away.

Sensing his gaze, Wen Yulan became even more shy, sinking further into the water until only her eyes were showing.

"You... stop looking..."

Her voice came from the water, muffled and slightly coquettish.

Ye Yun didn't listen; instead, he stood up and walked toward her.

Watching him approach step by step, Wen Yulan's heart felt like it would burst; she wanted to retreat, but the pool wall already blocked her path.

Ye Yun reached her and crouched down to look her in the eye.

The distance between them was so small they could feel each other's breath.

Wen Yulan kept her head down, not daring to look at him, her arms crossed over her chest as she trembled slightly.

Ye Yun reached out, gently taking her hands from her chest and slowly pulling them away.

Wen Yulan bit her lip and didn't struggle, just kept her eyes closed, her eyelashes fluttering wildly.

Looking at her nervous state, Ye Yun said softly.

"Look at me."

Wen Yulan shook her head, refusing to open her eyes.

Ye Yun smiled and didn't force her.

He raised his hand, gently cupping her face, his thumb caressing her flushed cheek.

Wen Yulan's breathing grew more rapid, and her body felt hotter—whether from the spring water or from him, she didn't know.

Ye Yun slowly leaned in, his forehead resting against hers, their noses touching.

"Yulan."

He softly called her name, his voice deep and tender.

Wen Yulan's heart skipped a beat, and she finally opened her eyes slowly.

Their eyes met; hers were full of shyness and tenderness, along with an irrepressible hint of anticipation.

Ye Yun said no more and leaned down to kiss her lips.

Wen Yulan shuddered, her hands instinctively grabbing his arms, but she didn't push him away.

His lips were warm and soft as he gently took her lips into his, slowly savoring the kiss.

She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as she clumsily returned his kiss.

Ye Yun's hand slid down from her face to her waist, gently pulling her close.

Her waist was very slender, easily encircled by his hand, her skin smooth and delicate like fine silk.

Breathless from his kiss, Wen Yulan slowly wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her body even closer.

The water rippled as their bodies pressed tightly together beneath the surface.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Yun finally released her lips.

With their foreheads still touching, both were breathing heavily.

Wen Yulan's cheeks were flushed, her eyes dreamy, and her lips slightly swollen from the kiss.

She exuded a breathtakingly seductive aura.

Panting, her voice was as faint as a dream.

"Be gentle..."

Ye Yun looked at her, a smile playing on his lips.

"Okay."

He leaned down again and kissed her lips.

This time, she was no longer nervous, her arms around his neck as she responded passionately.

His palm slid down her side to her hip, gently lifting her.

Wen Yulan let out a soft moan, clinging to him and letting him have his way.

In the hot spring, the water rippled and the mist swirled.

Two figures were intertwined, appearing and disappearing in the steam.

Wen Yulan closed her eyes, feeling his kisses fall on her lips, chin, neck, and collarbone...

Her hands ran through his hair, gripping it lightly as soft moans escaped her lips.

Ye Yun pressed her against the pool wall, looking down at her flushing cheeks.

Her hazy eyes and her slightly parted red lips.

He couldn't help but kiss her again.

This time, it was more fervent and deeper than before.

Wen Yulan responded to him, her hands roaming haphazardly over his back.

Her nails lightly scratched his skin, leaving faint red marks.

Water splashed, and the sound of heavy breathing echoed in the empty valley.
