Just as Ruby Gregory left, Steve Burton returned to the men’s changing room from the hot spring. As he finished changing and walked out, he happened to hear the staff member respectfully ask Ruby, “Ms. Gregory, do you need to wait for Mr. Burton?”
His steps stopped for a moment, his gaze falling directly on Ruby.
Ruby seemed to have heard a curse, shivering all over. Without even acknowledging the staff member, she tightly clutched her bag and turned around to run out the door as if she were an arrow off a bowstring. She ran so desperately fast, as if her life depended on it.
Standing next to Steve was the staff member, who looked at Ruby fleeing in panic with a slightly defensive expression, and cautiously glanced at Steve, “Mr. Burton, is there anything else you need?”
Ms. Gregory had actually left so hurriedly without waiting for Mr. Burton; surely he would be in a bad mood.
Steve came back to his senses, looked at the staff and gracefully walked towards the door without any hint of irritation.
After he left, the staff members in the hot spring lobby exchanged puzzled glances.
At this moment, it was sunset, and Steve, squinting into the red sky in the west, couldn’t help but smile at the memory of Ruby fleeing like a frightened deer. His lips involuntarily curled upward.
After a while, he lowered his head slightly, staring at the hand that Ruby had slapped at the edge of the hot spring, still faintly feeling the lingering intensity and warmth of her touch.
He couldn’t help but chuckle, gently caressing the spot she’d hit as if it were barely there.
The entire mountain was dyed blood-red by the setting sun.
Steve stood still, the evening breeze rustling his clothes and hair, blowing all the way to his heart, gently stirring his emotions, soothing and tingling with an irresistible tremor and thrill.
By the evening, Ruby returned to the city with her parents.
Maxwell Gregory drove with undivided concentration, while her mom sat in the passenger seat and Ruby alone in the back.
About five kilometers after they left the Red Park Resort & Villas, Ruby’s phone suddenly chimed. Picking up her phone, she discovered that it was a WhatsApp notification. Upon clicking it, she realized that Steve had accepted her friend request.
Ruby immediately remembered the scene not long ago in the private hot spring, when she and Steve were together. Although it had been some time, Steve’s warm breath as he spoke close to her ear, touching her cheek, vividly resurfaced in her memory.
Ruby’s face instantly grew hot..
