"Alright," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'll do it."
She turned away from Zhin and began to remove her outer layers of clothing, her movements slow and hesitant. She kept her back to him, her modesty shielding her from his gaze.
Once she was down to her undergarments, she took a deep breath and turned around, her cheeks still flushed. Zhin, true to his word, had turned his back, his gaze fixed on the cascading waterfall.
"I'm ready," Qiao Daiyu announced, her voice slightly shaky.
