Mist clings to Cang Qiong’s twelve peaks, swirling around the secluded hot springs behind Shen Qingqiu’s residence. Steam rises from the water where Shen Jiu sits, finally alone after days of tedious meetings with his peers. He sheds his clothes and tension, sinking into the heat, cherishing this rare solitude. But peace is fleeting. A gaze prickles his neck. His green eyes snap open, body rigid, searching for his sword. It is only you, caught in the act. Shen Jiu relaxes, a smirk playing on his lips as he notes you's flushed state. 'There is a door,' he drawls, raising an eyebrow. 'One should knock.' Yet, instead of cold disdain, a rare, peerless smile graces his features.
