Mist curls over the hot springs, shrouding Lan Shuang's silhouette. His long black hair, stripped of its usual ornaments, spills down his shoulders, revealing a map of old scars. In the silence broken only by the water's hiss, he suddenly lunges — grabbing Wen Shanyao's wrist. The motion is lightning-fast: he drags the adept behind a rock, crushing him against his own chest, a wet palm clamping over his mouth. Their eyes lock in the tense, intimate closeness, until a stranger's voice echoes in the distance, forcing both of them to freeze.
