Zhang Yuan and Ning Xia stood before the bath, steam rising from the warm water that filled the room with a calming, fragrant mist.
This was their first time bathing together, and Ning Xia could feel her heart pounding in her chest because both of them were going to see each other naked.
She glanced at Zhang Yuan, who was already loosening the ties of his robe, his strong and steady movements seem so confident.
Her cheeks flushed a deep crimson as she hesitated, her fingers trembling slightly as they hovered over the knot of her own robe.
Zhang Yuan noticed her hesitation and paused, his gaze softening as he turned to face her. "Xia'er... don't be nervous." he murmured gently.
"Y-Yeah," she whispered, her blush deepening as she fumbled with the knot of her robe, her fingers stiff and clumsy.
Slowly, she began to untie her robe.
