Ying Yue was sitting under the plum tree with his eyes closed and legs crossed. Taking a deep breath, he meditated to feel his inner qi, his spiritual energy slowly flowing through his body. It ebbed and flowed like the river into the sea. He felt a slight change in air around him and he frowned.
'What was-' he stopped suddenly when he felt a warm palm against his chest.
Face flushed and ears warmed, he was about to open his eyes, when a deep baritone voice spoke against his ear.
"Keep them close," he heard as a body pressed against his from behind, "Relax."
Letting out a deep breath, he concentrated once more on his energy flow. With every course, he felt himself lighter. His mind felt clearer, like a small portion of fog was lifted.
