220 The Way She Looks At Him Says It All
Qu Shao swiped open his phone screen. âItâs almost seven oâclock. Why arenât they here yet?â
âAsk in the group.â
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.
âWhereâs the dining hall?â Shen Yi put on the hood of his down jacket and slowly walked out.
âKeep going down this road on the left.â
âHow far?â
âAbout 700 to 800 meters.â 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.
âYue, do you still want some fish?â Zhou Yanshen pushed aside the hair at her temple and kissed her cheek under everyoneâs gaze.
âNo.â Qian Yue was used to it. She said coquettishly, âIâm already full.â
âLet me rub your stomach.â 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, âBrother Yanshen, are you possessed by a ghost?â
âGet lost.â
âYouâre too scary.â
Zhou Yanshen glanced at him. âAre you jealous?â He did not stop rubbing Qian Yueâs stomach. âUnfortunately, you canât find anyone to rub.â
âJust you wait.â Chu Yuzhou went to get the bill from the boss and couldnât 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, âDo you like Tang Ni?â
âI donât know.â
âWhat kind of answer is that?â
âI really donât know.â Chu Yuzhou didnât even know how he felt. âWhat do you think?â
âAre you possessive of her?â
âI donât think so.â
Jiang Ye asked a few questions, but the answers he received were all ambiguous. âForget it. Try spending more time with her.â
Qu Shao suddenly sighed. âYou all have someone you like. Only Shen Yi and I are still bachelors.â
Pei Zhi said, âThereâs no hurry.â He brushed away the few strands of short hair on his forehead. âYour fate has not arrived yet.â
âThen Iâll go to the temple to pray for my fate to arrive sooner.â
âEven if you pray, you might not get it.â
âAt least itâll give me some hope.â Qu Shao elbowed Shen Yiâs shoulder. âWhy donât we go together?â
âNot interested.â
âYou might as well become a mon.â
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.
âPei Zhi.â Lin Jiao pulled his hand that was groping her away again and warned in a low voice, âMind your behavior.â
âCanât I even hug my wife?â
âAre you sure itâs a hug?â
Stared by those sparkling eyes, Pei Zhi gave in.
âIâm sorry.â He pecked her lips and hugged her obediently. âYour swimsuit is too revealing. I canât help.â
Lin Jiao lowered her head. âHow is this revealing?â Other than her legs and collarbone, there was nothing else exposed.
âHere.â Pei Zhi hooked a shoulder strap and looked at her skin. âAnd your legs.â
âOther people even wear bikinis.â
âOthers are others.â He held her waist and pulled her into his arms. âDid you see anyone else when you came out just now?â
...
âYilan met someone.â
âWho?â Jiang Ye, who was next to them, heard Lin Jiao mention Pei Yilan.
âA passerby drooled over her.â
âWhat did he do?â
âAsked me for WeChat.â In order to prevent him from being jealous, Pei Yilan said in time, âI didnât give it to him.â
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, âIâll accompany you to the changing room later.â
Pei Yilan nodded with a smile. âOkay.â 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 Yuzhouâs 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.
âIâm so sleepy.â 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, âIâve never seen anyone with this little capacity for liquor.â
âIâll carry her up first.â He bent down and carried her on his shoulder. âIâll drink when I get back.â
âSlow down. Donât make her throw up.â
âHow can she throw up when sheâs asleep?â
Pei Yilan could not be bothered to argue with him.
She looked away from the staircase and finished the remaining wine in her glass. âI donât even know why Tang Ni likes him.â
âMaybe she was attracted by his humor.â
âYou call that humor?â
Qu Shao suddenly smiled. âHeâs humorous.â He rolled the dice. âDoes Tang Ni really like him?â
âYes.â Qian Yue threw away the empty bottle. âThe way she looks at Chu Yuzhou says it all.â
