Chapter 230: Shared Bath (1)
Gong Jue was in a daze when he heard Gong Yimo easily agree to his suggestion. He didn't know why, but just the thought of soaking in the hot springs with Gong Yimo left him feeling a little lightheaded, just like how he felt whenever he drank too much.
It was as if his royal sister was sent by the Heavens to torment him!
The subordinates working under Gong Jue were very efficient. In the afternoon, Gong Yimo reclined beside the hot spring while eating some light refreshments.
As she ate, she counted the remaining things she needed to do. However, Gong Yimo realized that there weren't any urgent matters that she needed to attend to, so she lazily reclined on the chair, too lazy to move.
At this time, Xin'er had pushed the curtains to the side and walked to Gong Yimo's side. When Gong Yimo was demoted, Xin'er had coincidentally been freed from the palace. Gong Jue found her and left her behind to serve Gong Yimo.
When Xin'er trembled in fear as she thought about what His Highness would do to her if he found out. She doesn't even dare to imagine the consequences...
Gong Yimo felt somewhat wronged after being rejected. She pitifully filled the wine cup with wine and then put the tray on the water. There were wine and fruits on the tray. She followed the flow of the water as she sat on a naturally formed raw stone inside the water. When she sat on the stone, the area below his chest wasn't soaked in the water but she didn't feel cold at all.
Xin'er stood by her side dressed in thick clothes. She suddenly raised her head and looked up. When Xin'er saw snowflakes drifting down from the sky, she happily said, "Princess, it's snowing!"
She was a little excited as she said, "This is the first snow in Jincheng..."
Gong Yimo opened her eyes and raised her head to look at the sky. She only saw countless white snowflakes floating down the pitch-black night sky. The lights in the courtyard illuminated the snowflakes, completing the beautiful and silent scenery. Gong Yimo reached out her hands to catch the snowflakes, but before the flakes even landed on her body, the steam from the hot spring melted them.
She sighed.
"This should be how a person should live..."
When she recalled her previous life, she remembered the experiences she had. In her past life, she had seen beautiful landscapes as well as mountains and rivers that were dyed in blood. She had even risen to the top and had also fallen from the top and into the abyss. Gong Yimo felt that her previous life had been...too hasty.
She wondered what other people would do if they were reborn. Would they pursue to become the strongest? Would they try to get revenge and step on everyone who had bullied them?
