220 The Way She Looks At Him Says It All
Qu Shao swiped open his phone screen. “It’s almost seven o’clock. Why aren’t they here yet?”
“Ask in the group.”
Tang Ni gradually calmed down. Fortunately, they were just as Chu Yuzhou had said. Not only were they easy to get along with, but they also looked at her without any malice or disdain.
“Where’s the dining hall?” Shen Yi put on the hood of his down jacket and slowly walked out.
“Keep going down this road on the left.”
“How far?”
“About 700 to 800 meters.” Chu Yuzhou slowed down to take care of Tang Ni, afraid that she would not be used to it.
The temperature on the mountain was relatively low, forcing them to speed up slightly.
The environment of the resort dining hall was not as good as in the city, but the various home-cooked dishes were surprisingly delicious.
The ten people sitting around a round mahogany table enjoyed different delicacies and chatted in a delightful mood.
“Yue, do you still want some fish?” Zhou Yanshen pushed aside the hair at her temple and kissed her cheek under everyone’s gaze.
“No.” Qian Yue was used to it. She said coquettishly, “I’m already full.”
“Let me rub your stomach.” He fed Qian Yue two mouthfuls of water and placed his palm on her stomach.
Chu Yuzhou was shocked. He could not believe that the person in front of him was Zhou Yanshen.
He teased jokingly, “Brother Yanshen, are you possessed by a ghost?”
“Get lost.”
“You’re too scary.”
Zhou Yanshen glanced at him. “Are you jealous?” He did not stop rubbing Qian Yue’s stomach. “Unfortunately, you can’t find anyone to rub.”
“Just you wait.” Chu Yuzhou went to get the bill from the boss and couldn’t be bothered to watch him show off his love.
Shen Yi smiled. He put down his chopsticks and gestured for them to put on their coats.
On the way to the hot spring, the path was illuminated by the flickering stars.
The hot spring that was hidden in the forest emitted steam. The lingering steam spread out, making it look like a paradise.
The strong fragrance of red wine wafted over from the pool that could accommodate twenty people and assaulted their noses.
A group of men stepped into the pool and leaned against the wall, enjoying the moment of peace.
While the girls were still changing into swimsuits, Jiang Ye looked at Chu Yuzhou through the thin fog.
He asked bluntly, “Do you like Tang Ni?”
“I don’t know.”
“What kind of answer is that?”
“I really don’t know.” Chu Yuzhou didn’t even know how he felt. “What do you think?”
“Are you possessive of her?”
“I don’t think so.”
Jiang Ye asked a few questions, but the answers he received were all ambiguous. “Forget it. Try spending more time with her.”
Qu Shao suddenly sighed. “You all have someone you like. Only Shen Yi and I are still bachelors.”
Pei Zhi said, “There’s no hurry.” He brushed away the few strands of short hair on his forehead. “Your fate has not arrived yet.”
“Then I’ll go to the temple to pray for my fate to arrive sooner.”
“Even if you pray, you might not get it.”
“At least it’ll give me some hope.” Qu Shao elbowed Shen Yi’s shoulder. “Why don’t we go together?”
“Not interested.”
“You might as well become a mon.”
This made everyone laugh.
While Shen Yi was bickering with Qu Shao in the pool, a few familiar figures gradually approached.
They stood by the pool and took off their bathrobes, revealing relatively conservative swimsuits. They were led into the water by their men.
Chu Yuzhou also went forward gentlemanly and pulled Tang Ni to his side.
The heat emitted was enough to dispel the cold.
The chirping of insects and birds did not sound noisy. Instead, it dispelled the silence in the forest and made people feel at peace.
“Pei Zhi.” Lin Jiao pulled his hand that was groping her away again and warned in a low voice, “Mind your behavior.”
“Can’t I even hug my wife?”
“Are you sure it’s a hug?”
Stared by those sparkling eyes, Pei Zhi gave in.
“I’m sorry.” He pecked her lips and hugged her obediently. “Your swimsuit is too revealing. I can’t help.”
Lin Jiao lowered her head. “How is this revealing?” Other than her legs and collarbone, there was nothing else exposed.
“Here.” Pei Zhi hooked a shoulder strap and looked at her skin. “And your legs.”
“Other people even wear bikinis.”
“Others are others.” He held her waist and pulled her into his arms. “Did you see anyone else when you came out just now?”
...
“Yilan met someone.”
“Who?” Jiang Ye, who was next to them, heard Lin Jiao mention Pei Yilan.
“A passerby drooled over her.”
“What did he do?”
“Asked me for WeChat.” In order to prevent him from being jealous, Pei Yilan said in time, “I didn’t give it to him.”
She roughly repeated the conversation. Jiang Ye was relieved to hear that the person did not harass her.
He tightened the straps on her shoulders and said in a gentle voice, “I’ll accompany you to the changing room later.”
Pei Yilan nodded with a smile. “Okay.” She hugged his waist and lay on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
The group soaked in the hot spring for half an hour before walking up the stone path and stopping at a unique wooden house to take a sauna.
Late at night, they returned to the cabin to drink and chat.
Tang Ni was not as shy as when they first met. Under Chu Yuzhou’s lead, she held the dice cup and played games with them.
...
He knew that she could not hold her liquor well, so he only took a sip every time she lost. However, he did not expect her to still be drunk.
“I’m so sleepy.” She looked at Chu Yuzhou with a red face and fell on him the next second.
Chu Yuzhou quickly held her.
Just as everyone thought that they would witness an ambiguous scene, they heard him click his tongue and say, “I’ve never seen anyone with this little capacity for liquor.”
“I’ll carry her up first.” He bent down and carried her on his shoulder. “I’ll drink when I get back.”
“Slow down. Don’t make her throw up.”
“How can she throw up when she’s asleep?”
Pei Yilan could not be bothered to argue with him.
She looked away from the staircase and finished the remaining wine in her glass. “I don’t even know why Tang Ni likes him.”
“Maybe she was attracted by his humor.”
“You call that humor?”
Qu Shao suddenly smiled. “He’s humorous.” He rolled the dice. “Does Tang Ni really like him?”
“Yes.” Qian Yue threw away the empty bottle. “The way she looks at Chu Yuzhou says it all.”
