December, the start of winter.
It's still nice over in Hai City, not yet truly cold, but it's growing colder by the day in the ancient place.
So... Isn't it the most comfortable season for hot springs?
"This break activity, hot springs!"
"Great!"
Lu Zheng begins distributing new swimsuits, more than a dozen styles, dozens of swimsuits, letting the ladies pick them as they wish.
The Peach Blossom Celestial Maiden and the few ladies from the Five Beauties Manor all have a share, not to mention the little rascal Ao Qian.
Then...
Everyone sensibly avoids each other, heading to different ponds, leaving Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying with Lu Zheng soaking in a small hot spring pool, while Liu Qingquan and Ao Qian, those two little girls, frolic about haphazardly.
Du Yueyao also comes, but she goes to accompany Bai Ting'Er and the others, not daring to come over.
Hot springs, playing cards, eating fresh fruits.
