The clear water flowed down her body, easing the itch by quite a lot. Bai Qingqing dived into the water, washing her hair as well. She felt very refreshed after that.
Parker gently touched the scratch marks on the back of her neck, his heart aching for her as he said, "Let's go back quickly."
"I'm really fine." Bai Qingqing turned, scooped up a handful of water, and splashed it toward him. She grinned and said, "You should wash up too."
Parker just stood there as his face was drenched by the water. He wasn't affected by Bai Qingqing's happiness. Seeing that she was done washing up, he carried her up to the shore.
He was still thinking of using the animal skin next to the pile of grains to cover her, but when she saw the chaffs all over it, she quickly said, "Don't use that. I was made itchy because of the dust. I'll go back like this."
