Yu Sha glanced at the time on her phone, "c.r.a.p, there is only 15 minutes left before my hot spring time is up." She hurriedly rushes inside the inn to the check in counter."Um.. sorry, my hike took longer than expected, but there is still time left, can I use the remaining time left to soak for a little bit?"
The staff looked at Yu Sha"s state and nodded, "Yes, follow me."
Yu Sha followed the inn staff, who led her to an isolated walk way and into another small building.
The building was built around the hot spring allowing the person bathing to have lots of privacy. The staff then opened the hot spring for Yu Sha and handed her the door card. "Miss, here is the key, there are brand new robes and towels on the shelf inside. Feel free to use as you like."
Yu Sha thanked the staff and went inside hastily. She didn"t waste any time and quickly took her clothes off and dipped right into the hot spring. The moment her whole body immersed in the hot spring, she felt like her soul was reborn anew. Accompanying the Perverted Prince has caused her to be on high alert all the time she had almost forgotten what it feels like to be relaxed. When she thought of the Perverted Prince, her mind and body dread going back. Although she was away from him today, his bodyguard follows her everywhere making it hard to just relax and let loose when she knows someone is following and watching her every move. If she was an ordinary citizen, it wouldn"t bother her so much as she probably wouldn"t notice their presence unless they make themselves known.
Yu Sha leaned her back against the rock by the edge and laid her head back so she could glance at the sky. At the top of the ceiling was a half globe gla.s.s window allowing the person in the hot spring to observe the night skies. The sun was starting to set, beaming its rays across the skies making the sky glows in different hues as the rainbow color dispersed across. She inhaled a breath to relax and calm her thoughts. It is so relaxing, I must take Su Na to visit here when we have a few days off.
Yu Sha thought Su Na would definitely like the hot spring and spa services, although she may not like the hike as much.
Then her thought wonders to the strange peculiar place she tumbled upon earlier. She felt something was odd with the place but she couldn"t wrap her head around it and then the man she met popped in her mind. He almost does not look like a man of this world, so beautiful, ruby gem eyes, luscious black hair, glowy pale skin and plumped lips. Yu Sha recalled every details of the man, from head to toes, his height, and body that seemed quite built underneath the layers of clothes… what the h.e.l.l, how can a man be more beautiful than a woman? And she was in a rush to get back that she had forgotten to ask for his name or introduce herself. Yu Sha smacked her lips, she hated her introvertedness when meeting stranger. She automatically goes on introvert mode.
Soon, she glanced at the big digital clock by the wall and noticed that her time is up. Yu Sha quickly got up and get dressed before rushing out the door. On her way to return the card keys, she spotted a small shadowy figure disappearing around the bend. Puzzled, she followed after the figure around the bend that led her to the back side of the inn building. Yu Sha slowed down and quiet her steps after appearing around the corner of the building. She raised her head and peeked for movements.
Soon, she heard shoveling and sounds of bag crumbling like someone is searching for something. Her brows furrowed deeper like she might know what it is, she dashed towards the dumpsters and pile of trashes to find the cause of her curiousness. To her surprise, what she saw was not an animal but a little boy digging for left over trash from the dumpster piles. His clothes looked old and tattered, he looked hungry and exhausted but his body exude resistance and strength.
When the boy sensed a person behind him, he quickly turned around to confirm his hunch. Standing behind, gazing at him, was an adult. Her demeanor causes his timid body to tense up as he trembles, his eyes full of terror afraid of what she might do. He tried to run away, squeezing his way out of the trash and darted past Yu Sha. Not knowing his situation, and the way he looked earlier, her heart wouldn"t allow her to leave the situation as it is. She couldn"t let him get away without fully grasping the situation so she followed after him.
About 20 minutes later following the boy, she came upon a rusty little house in the directions towards the main express freeway, but still hidden enough to be isolated in its own world. Yu Sha saw the boys went inside while she studied the condition of the surrounding outside. The house looked like it could come crumbling down any moment if there should ever be harsh wind and rain storm. She approached the house and leaned in closer through a crack to see what"s happening inside and if there are still others living in the house.
In the little s.p.a.ce through the crack, she saw the boy went into the next room. She couldn"t see anything else or make sense of what is happening.
After a moment, she decided to go inside the house and find out the circ.u.mstances for the boy might not be the only person living in the house in this poor condition.
