Yun Zhao's sleepiness instantly vanished, and he quickly waved his hands, saying, "I'd rather not..."

"Are you kidding?" Ao Yu furrowed his brows and led him to the bathroom, placing him on the small table in front of the water mirror.

Ao Yu lifted his fingertips and gently tapped on the young man's back, prompting him to walk to the water mirror himself.

Ao Yu said in a calm tone, "Are you planning to sleep like this?"

Reluctantly, Yun Zhao looked up and immediately frowned with dissatisfaction.

In the water mirror, the young man still had a rosy complexion, resembling an exquisite doll. However, his moon-white robe was covered in various cat hairs of different lengths. His black hair seemed to be wet with oil soup, clumping together.

"You messy creature," Ao Yu chuckled.

Yun Zhao twisted his fingers, looking quite awkward as he said, "Then I'll wash by myself."

"Are you sure?"

Yun Zhao nodded repeatedly, like he was pounding garlic. "Mhmm!"

"Suit yourself."

Ao Yu raised an eyebrow, then gently lifted him up and placed him inside a wooden box that contained a small rubber duck. He then put the box into the hot spring, pouring water inside.

Blushing, Yun Zhao took off his clothes and sat comfortably on the edge of the wooden box. From the corner of his eye, he secretly glanced at Ao Yu and saw that he was busy searching for bath oil in the cubicle, not paying attention to him. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The warm spring water enveloped Yun Zhao, and he felt all the pores on his body relaxing.

He played in the water inside the wooden box, swaying back and forth as if sitting in a small boat.

He caught sight of the homeless little rubber duck and couldn't resist the urge to bring it closer. Leaning against the edge of the box, he tried to retrieve the duck, but unexpectedly lost his balance. The entire wooden box flipped over.

"Crash!"

Ao Yu heard the commotion and quickly ran to the edge of the hot spring. He saw the overturned box on the water's surface and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Rolling up his sleeves, he reached his hand into the water and rescued the startled young man.

*Cough cough...* Yun Zhao coughed up some water and gasped for breath in Ao Yu's palm, feeling that it would be embarrassing to say that he nearly drowned in the bathtub.

Ao Yu initially intended to reprimand him but couldn't help but be taken aback when he glanced at the young man. The hot spring had turned the miniature young man's face rosy, and he was breathing out small puffs of white mist.

His black hair hung loosely on his fair back, seemingly influenced by the steam, and a faint blush covered his entire body.

As Ao Yu's gaze landed on a few particular areas, he immediately averted his eyes, his mind filled with a question.

Why is even that part rosy?!

Yun Zhao regained his senses and felt the almost imperceptible gaze upon him. He couldn't help but tremble with embarrassment, kneeling in Ao Yu's palm and muttered, "Put me back quickly."

"You certainly know how to boss people around," Ao Yu chuckled twice, flipped the wooden box back over, refilled it with water, and placed Yun Zhao inside again. He also considerately put the little rubber duck back in.
