As the city came into view, Shen Peichuan asked Sang Yu if she was hungry, to which she replied, “It’s fine. I’d rather go home and take a bath first. Sleeping in the tent with my clothes on hasn’t exactly been comfortable, you know.”

“Sure,” Shen Peichuan replied.

They ascended the stairs slowly.

Shen Peichuan put their things down as Sang Yu watched. When he was done, she gave a shy chuckle and disappeared into the bathroom.
