Zhang Qiling combed out his half-dry, long hair, then took Qingye—dressed in a black inner tunic—by the hand and led her out of the room. "I know you're tired. You can rest as soon as we finish eating."
Qingye sighed. "I'm not really tired. The steam just makes me drowsy." She always tended to fall asleep in the bathtub, and the two of them were quite used to it.
Zhang Qiling glanced at Qingye and gave a silent sigh of his own. Qingye always grew drowsy the moment she soaked in a bath. Once, not seeing anyone in the room, he had gone into the bathroom only to find she had slipped right beneath the water's surface. It had scared half his soul out of his body, and when he fished her out and couldn't feel her breathing, the other half threatened to fly away as well. It wasn't until Qingye suddenly spoke up that his wits returned. After that incident, either he or Zhang Haike always had to keep watch while Qingye bathed.
