Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1250: Beauty Under the Lamplight

Around are two layers of steps paved with large blue and white stones.

These stones then encircle the hot spring.

And all around are lush green grass with wildflowers swaying in the wind, their faint fragrance drifting in the air.

Although it was summer, a light white mist hovered above the hot spring.

It was as if in a fairyland!

Qin Yize pointed at the hot spring and said slowly, "Qiaoqiao, this is a natural hot spring, running water, very clean. I just tidied it this morning. Originally, I wanted to put up a grass shed, but time was not enough, so it will have to wait until tomorrow..."

Gu Qiaoqiao stood on the steps, then squatted down, stretched out her hand, and tried the hot spring water inside. It wasn’t as hot as imagined; the moment the water touched the skin, it was truly pleasant.

Qin Yize glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, lowered his voice, and said, "Feel free to bathe here. I’ll stand guard ten meters away to keep watch."

Saying this, he turned without any hesitation, striding forward, and then stopped at a safe and appropriate distance, back facing Gu Qiaoqiao, looking at the vast night and the undulating mountains,

with both hands behind his back, like a green pine standing tall on the prairie.

Gu Qiaoqiao bit her lip, looking at that figure. Then she took off her short-sleeved shirt and linen capri pants.

It was Gu Qiaoqiao’s first time bathing outdoors, and also indeed her first hot spring bath. She didn’t know what kind of experience it would be.

Gu Qiaoqiao listened intently to the surroundings, ensuring there were no wild animals, and felt relieved.

Gu Qiaoqiao was not worried that the wild animals would harm her, but she was concerned that Qin Yize might get hurt, having heard that there were many wolves on the prairie.

After removing all her clothes, Gu Qiaoqiao followed the two-layer steps and stepped into the hot spring, which reached her chest. The bottom of the spring was filled with smooth pebbles.

Then Gu Qiaoqiao’s body was entirely immersed in the hot spring water.

At that instant, Gu Qiaoqiao realized even the spiritual energy from her fingers couldn’t reach this level, as she felt all her pores open up at that moment.

Although it was summer, the nighttime temperature on the prairie was quite cool. Soaking in the hot spring was an indescribable feeling.

No wonder past emperors and concubines loved building palaces by hot springs; it turns out soaking in a hot spring is so comfortable.

Gu Qiaoqiao thought secretly.

The steps were constructed very conveniently; the top layer could hold her pajamas, and the second layer could accommodate her toiletries, all within arm’s reach.

Truly so convenient.

Gu Qiaoqiao thought even if she soaked here all night, she wouldn’t get bored. However, she certainly couldn’t soak all night, because Qin Yize was here.

How could she bear to let him stand for such a long time?

Besides, staying here for a few days, soaking in the hot spring could happen anytime.

Gu Qiaoqiao let out a long sigh of comfort and glanced in Qin Yize’s direction. The guy was still standing with his hands behind, back to her, not knowing what he was looking at.

Gu Qiaoqiao leaned her body on the steps, exerted a slight force, and sat on the step, then picked up a towel to dry herself.

She didn’t wash her hair because she had just washed it yesterday. Gu Qiaoqiao quickly changed into her pajamas, and the little bit of fatigue she had was long gone.

She softly called to Qin Yize, not far away, "Ah Ze, I’m done washing."

Qin Yize turned his head, paused for a moment, then strode over.

He saw Gu Qiaoqiao barefoot on the bluestone slab, under the night sky, her toes shimmering with pinkish-white luster.

Qin Yize’s dark eyes flashed with a peculiar light, then he stopped Gu Qiaoqiao from putting on her shoes and picked her up horizontally.

Gu Qiaoqiao involuntarily hooked her arms around his neck.

Qin Yize carried the fragrant freshly bathed Gu Qiaoqiao towards the Mongolian yurt.

Gu Qiaoqiao felt that Qin Yize’s expression was somewhat off, his handsome face slightly flushed, as if he were drunk.

But his steps were as steady as usual.

Gu Qiaoqiao vaguely knew the reason and was silent along the way, not knowing how to break the silence, biting her red lips without speaking.

Fortunately, the distance wasn’t far, and Qin Yize, holding Gu Qiaoqiao, walked faster than when he came.

In the blink of an eye, he placed Gu Qiaoqiao on the carpet in the yurt and said in a low voice, "There are slippers in the shoe cabinet, and the water in the thermos can be used to brush your teeth. I’ll be back as soon as I’m done washing."

Standing barefoot on the long-pile carpet, Gu Qiaoqiao blinked her dewy eyes, nodding, and Qin Yize instructed a few more things before quickly heading towards the hot spring.

He walked so fast that Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t have time to remind him not to forget to bring back her shoes,

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced around the interior of the yurt. By now, the light had completely gone dark, and according to Qin Yize’s instructions, she lit the two candles placed on the wooden platform by the bed.

In an instant, the room lit up, a brightness unlike electric lights,

The candlelight flickered as if the very air was imbued with a golden glow.

In no more than ten minutes, Qin Yize returned.

After closing the yurt’s door, Qin Yize stood at the doorway, looking at Gu Qiaoqiao standing barefoot in front of the bookshelf.

Gu Qiaoqiao turned her head and smiled at Qin Yize sweetly.

They say beauty under the lamp is captivating; Qiaoqiao was already pretty, and under the candlelight, her fair skin seemed like fine white jade, and her petal-like lips more lustrous.

Qin Yize clenched his hand into a fist, then relaxed it. He thought that by now, Qiaoqiao should understand what he wanted to do.

Indeed, in this beautiful and tranquil imaginary land of joy and plenty, he wanted to make his Qiaoqiao truly his!

In fact, he had other plans.

But he had not expected Great Grandfather to give him this place; he thought this place suited his heart better and was more worthy of Qiaoqiao.

Gu Qiaoqiao noticed something was off in Qin Yize’s gaze, and her heart began to pound, and unwittingly, two blushes rose on her cheeks.

She vaguely knew, as if something was about to happen.

And just as her heart was racing, Qin Yize took a few long strides and came right up to her.

He lingered beside her for a moment, then took the book from Gu Qiaoqiao’s hands and placed it on the shelf.

Then he held Gu Qiaoqiao in his arms, his eyes bursting with intense and passionate light, like the sun, instantly enveloping and igniting Gu Qiaoqiao.

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao felt Qin Yize’s heart beating irregularly, and his skin was hot as if it were on fire,

Gu Qiaoqiao’s breathing also became fast and urgent...
