âIf President Li doesnât mind, you can share a room in a separate courtyard with me.â
The hot spring resort was decorated in a Japanese style. The rooms were tatami-matted and one could sleep with just a quilt and in winter there was underfloor heating, etc.
The courtyards with the rooms that had small hot springs were the resortsâ special VIP roomsâ they had the luxury that a small villa entailed.
There was a separate hot spring, living room, kitchen and much more.
And of course, there was more than one bedroom.
Li Xusheng and Xia Yijun both looked hopeful as they heard these words.
Li Qingzhou thought twice then nodded his head in agreement.
Liu Bohuai then released Xia Yijunâs denim straps from under his hand and said, âLetâs goâ, as if it was because of the children that he was staying with Li Qingzhou.
The two adults with the two children gradually walked away.
Qi Hao, with Qu Yufan leaning on his shoulder said to Liu Xiahui: âYour third uncle is quite good to your cousin from the Xia family. Heâs even staying with Li Qingzhou for him.â
To be honest, it was a bit of a surprise.
Liu Xiahui made an âenâ sound.
Then looking at Xu Mengning, walked over and said, âHowâs your footâ¦.â
â¦â¦â¦.
Li Xusheng and Xia Yijun had never been to a hot spring resort like this before and so without any inhibitions, they went wild.
After soaking in the childrenâs hot spring, they wanted to go into the adultsâ hot spring.
Li Qingzhou couldnât get into the water, so Liu Bohuai led them into the big hot spring where they played for a long time.
By the time they finished playing, it was almost dark and the lights were on all over the hot springs resort.
Li Qingzhou called out to them to come inside: âGo and have a bath.â
Xia Yijun ran to Li Qingzhou and said, âBig brother, can I watch cartoons with Shengsheng before going to bed? Can we sleep together?â
Li Xusheng: âBut I want to sleep with my big brother.â
Xia Yijun didnât mind at all: âThatâs okay, we can sleep together, you in the middle and me on the side.â
âAnd Iâm a good sleeper, I donât kick the covers.â
[Haha, Jun Jun is so cute, heâs just like a hard working salesman]
Seeing how cute he was, Li Qingzhou of course had no problem with it.
Liu Bohuai didnât say anything either, nodding in agreement.
Then he helped with the bathing of the two children.
When he came out, his clothes were almost soaked, so he allowed Li Qingzhou lead the two children into the room before he went to take a shower.
After Li Xusheng and Xia Yijun changed into their little clothes, they both laid down on the tatami mats to watch cartoons, with sounds coming from the cell phone they were watching playing out.
Li Qingzhou, seeing this, left the room quietly.
He was wearing the robe he had already changed into and the navy blue trunks he had put on underneath and although heâd said he wasnât going to the hot spring, he still wanted to.
âHe couldnât go into the water, but he could soak his feet.
Li Qingzhou controlled his wheelchair to the entrance of the courtyard, where the wooden floor met the stone slab outside and a little further on was the hot spring pool, enclosed by pebbles and marble.
He was just about to go over when he heard footsteps behind himâ¦.
It was the sound of bare feet on the wooden planks.
Li Qingzhou turned his head to look and then his eyes widened unconsciouslyâ Liu Bohuai must have just come out of the shower, because he was wearing only a pair of deep black swimming trunksâ¦..
A perfect fit, revealing shape and amazing sizeâ¦..
Liu Bohuai had a perfect body, broad shoulders, abs and long legs.
The rimless glasses he usually wore had long since been removed, revealing deep eyebrows and below, a high, straight nose and thin lips that made one want to kiss them deeply.
Such a handsome face, coupled with a perfect body and a sophisticated auraâ¦.. would have made any woman who was in the room jump at him.
Unfortunatelyâ¦. it was pity that he was a man.
Li Qingzhouâs expression remained unchanged, but his heart couldnât help but come alive.
[Uhmâ¦â¦ his hair is wet and different from his previous reserved image, he looks more casual and sexy. Without the glasses he looks a lot more young]
[Heâs got abs, I want to squeeze them. Iâm sure theyâll feel good, one ab, two abs, three absâ¦.. Wow! Eight pack abs! Long legs, legsâ¦â¦]
Li Qingzhouâs eyes skimmed over the place that would make one blush, then looked at his long legs. Although it was a little out of place, butâ
[Everyoneâs got hair on their body, let me sing hair for youâ¦â¦]
âThe little guy in the bubble with his little mouth open lay on the wall watching admiringly.
Liu Bohuai couldnât help but pause for a moment as he walked towards him.
Immediately, he approached with the expression on his face as usual. His hands resting naturally on the armrest of Li Qingzhouâs wheelchair, he asked, âWant to take a dip in the hot spring?â
Then without waiting for Li Qingzhouâs answer, he pushed his wheelchair towards the hot spring pool.
Li Qingzhou said with somberly drooping eyelashes, âItâs not quite convenient for me toâ¦.â
Liu Bohuai: âIâll help President Li.â
[Eh? How is he going to help?!]
The was a rare look of obvious stunned confusion on Li Qingzhouâs face.
Then he watched as Liu Bohuai pushed him to the edge of the hot spring, stopped the wheelchair, then took a step forward and leaning downâ one hand around his waist, the other through the crook of his legsâ¦â¦ picked him up.
He picked, him, up.
Panicking, Li Qingzhou didnât notice that his hand had automatically wrapped themselves around Liu Bohuaiâs neck as he stammered, âPresident, President Liuâ¦â¦â
This wonât do, this isnât, this isnât too good right!
The hot spring was filled with light steam, surrounded by flowers, warm yellow lights and the sound of rushing waterâ¦..
It was a natural hot spring, without the slightest hint of artificiality, clear and warm, with a hint of sulphur and steps at the bottom for one to sit on.
The moment he entered the water, Li Qingzhou really felt the comfort of the hot springâ¦â¦
[It will do, itâs right, itâs good!]
âThe little guy in the bubble, who had been shy and resistant just a moment before sprang up, squinting his eyes with his flushed face as a pink crocheted bathing cap sprang up on top of his head before he fell limp in the small hot spring.
Liu Bohuai let go of Li Qingzhou after putting him in the hot spring then stepped back, standing in a position that wasnât awkward for either of them, leaving enough distance.
He said, âSince we are here to relax, President Li should enjoy it.â
There was no need to feel embarrassed.
As Li Qingzhou sat on the steps of the hot spring pool, his forehead slowly soaked with the vapor from the water around him, his pale face flushed.
Regaining his composure, he nodded, âPresident Liu is right.â
Then he ripped the straps of the hot spring bathrobe tied around his waist, gradually revealing his shoulders, chest and swim trunksâ¦.
Liu Bohuaiâs throat rolling, his deep eyes looked away for a moment and after a moment, hearing the sound of the robe being thrown onto the shore, he turned his head to ask, âSome sake?â
Li Qingzhou: âYes, Iâll have to trouble President Liu.â
âItâs no troubleâ¦.. we donât need to be so polite to each other.â Liu Bohuai said as he got up.
[No need to be polite? Then weâre friends now? Right? Right?]
âThe little guy in the bubble looked as if he had stars in his eyes, his hands clenched in fists at his chin.
Liu Bohuai, who had been slowly stroking his hair upwards, hooking his fingers through the ends, elegantly and casually, paused his movement.
Then he continued, âMy relationship with President Liâ¦.. is both a business partner and a friend.â
The corners of Li Qingzhouâs mouth curved up slightly at his words.
He nodded, âItâs a pleasure working with President Liu and in every way, itâs an honour to be friends with you.â
[Iâm happy.]
Liu Bohuai smiled faintly at Li Qingzhou, âNo, itâs my pleasure.â
