"You should have said so earlier!"

As Hu Xiaobei quickly spoke, his expression softened.

Soon, Hu Xiaobei reached out and took the pure white towel over!

Lin Ya glanced at Hu Xiaobei and quickly wanted to take the white towel.

Knowing that Lin Ya couldn’t muster the strength right now, Hu Xiaobei smiled and softly said, "Don’t move, let me do it!"

After saying this, Hu Xiaobei carefully draped it over Lin Ya’s shoulders.

After draping, Hu Xiaobei took a few close looks and adjusted it with his hands again.

He adjusted it several times and still felt it wasn’t quite right, so he continued to focus on fixing it.

After adjusting for a while longer, he still was not satisfied, so he reached out his hand again.

"Xiaobei, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Lin Ya looked at Hu Xiaobei somewhat helplessly; she didn’t understand what he was up to.

Looking at Lin Ya, Hu Xiaobei sighed and muttered silently, "No matter what, this white towel can’t fully cover you."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s words, Lin Ya rolled her eyes with exasperation, "It’s already well wrapped! What? Do you really need to wrap me up like a dumpling?"

"How did you know that’s what I was thinking?"

"You men all think that way, wishing for your woman to be wrapped up so that even her eyes don’t show."

"Haha! You really do know me well!"

Smiling, Hu Xiaobei tidied her up again, and after that, he lifted her up, warm and fragrant in his arms.

Being directly lifted by Hu Xiaobei, Lin Ya inhaled his scent, and her heartbeat quickened.

Before being lifted by Hu Xiaobei, her legs were just weak.

Now, her whole body felt powerless.

"All because of this little bastard!"

Thinking that Hu Xiaobei was the culprit of everything, Lin Ya couldn’t help but whisper softly...

After whispering, she shyly buried her head in Hu Xiaobei’s chest.

Lin Ya knew there might be people they would encounter later.

So she thought it was better to bury her head in Hu Xiaobei’s chest first; that way, she could avoid any awkward explanations.

Seeing her shy manner, Hu Xiaobei hummed a tune as he walked towards their place.

...

"Soaking in the hot springs is really interesting! I should go for another soak!"

In Jing’s room, sitting by the bed, Jing pondered for a moment and decided to go for another soak.

With that decision, Jing quickly walked out, only to find that others were also opening their doors at the same time.

Looking at them, Jing curiously asked, "What are you planning to do?"

"Soak in the hot springs!"

Hearing this unanimous reply, Jing paused for a second.

Soon, she burst into laughter, "I thought I was the only one thinking like that, turns out great minds think alike! Since everyone thinks so, let’s go then!"

"Alright!"

Everyone energetically set off for the hot springs again!

Everyone felt they should hurry up and get there.

Because like this, Lin Ya would definitely still be there.

...

"Hmm? It seems like someone’s coming!"

Humming a tune, Hu Xiaobei suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The reason he did so was that he heard footsteps approaching more and more.

He knew someone was coming, and it seemed to be quite a few people.

"Xiaobei, why did you stop?"

Burying her head in Hu Xiaobei’s chest, Lin Ya curiously spoke up.

Earlier, she felt Hu Xiaobei stop, and thought they had arrived.

Yet when she lifted her head, she realized they hadn’t, so she asked out of curiosity.

Hu Xiaobei glanced at her and softly said, "I feel that someone is coming, and it seems like quite a few of them."

"Someone?"

She murmured to herself, tilted her head to listen carefully, and heard the approaching footsteps clearly.

"There really are people coming! Let’s hide first!"

"Hide?"

Looking at Hu Xiaobei, Lin Ya quickly explained, "Yes, it might be Jing and the others. If they see us like this, it won’t look good."

"True!"

Glancing at Lin Ya, who was held in his arms bundled up like a rabbit, Hu Xiaobei chuckled softly.

At the same time, Hu Xiaobei darted to the side.

He quickly hid behind a large tree.

Once hidden, Hu Xiaobei swiftly concealed his presence.

This concealing made him merge with the large tree perfectly.

So, he couldn’t really be seen.

Unless they really walked this way, it was so hidden here that coming this way was impossible.

Once hidden, Hu Xiaobei peeked and indeed found it to be Jing and the others.

After confirming, Hu Xiaobei’s eye twitched, "And they said I have a crow’s mouth, you’re the crow’s mouth, you jinxed it!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s teasing, Lin Ya looked over and indeed saw Jing and the others.

"How was I supposed to know it was really them? Weren’t they gone before? Why are they back again?"

Hu Xiaobei gave Lin Ya a reasonable guess, "Perhaps they enjoyed the hot springs so much they decided to come back for another soak."

Thinking it over, Lin Ya nodded gently, indicating agreement, "You have a point!"

"Alright, they’re coming over, let’s not talk!"

"Mhm!"

Like this, neither of them spoke, knowing that talking now might get them discovered.

Originally, it was difficult to explain, and now hiding made it even harder to explain.

So the best method was total concealment.

Wait for them to leave, then quietly sneak away.

They had planned everything well, so if things went as anticipated, everything would be fine!

But alas, nothing went as they had planned...

...

"Do we keep going forward? Something doesn’t feel right!"

Jing’s slightly confused voice reached everyone’s ears.

Naturally, it also reached Hu Xiaobei and Lin Ya’s ears!

This made them both nervous.

Because now, where they were hiding was less than ten meters from Jing and the others...

At this moment, they heard someone behind Jing speak softly, "Jing, don’t start with your antics again, wasn’t it this way before?"

"Yeah, I remember too!"

"Me too!"

Hearing them quickly rebut Jing, Hu Xiaobei and Lin Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

In their view, with someone contradicting her, she would realize she was wrong.

However, they thought too much.

"No way, I clearly remember it being this path, I remember very clearly, very clearly!"

... 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"You’ve got to be kidding me!"

Seeing Jing point to this path, Hu Xiaobei and Lin Ya were speechless...

They really felt unfortunate!

To encounter a path-lost person like Jing...

If you’re going to be lost, fine, but feeling good about your sense of direction is just too frustrating.
