Lei Wanxi lifted his hand and grazed his fingers over Zhu Lin's cheeks. The water droplets stuck on his fingers. The gentle brush of his cold fingers sent shivers in her body. He pulled his hand back and came out of the water. He shivered because of the cold and looked towards the giant boats. The painters had left for their home already, and no one was around.
"Are you going to stay there? Come out!" Lei Wanxi shouted at her with exasperation. Zhu Lin quickly came out of the water. Lei Wanxi looked at her and saw her dress was completely drenched. Since she had not worn the overcoat, she was shivering in the cold.
"L-let's g-o back," Zhu Lin requested while crossing her arms.
Lei Wanxi removed his overcoat and put it around Zhu Lin. "Come. The carriage is nearby, so we will reach the Palace soon," Lei Wanxi asserted. Zhu Lin nodded and they left. The chauffeur upon seeing the two rushed to them and asked if they were fine.
