Weng Jiao: "Now that you mention it, I also remembered my mom recently asked me if I've been going out, and she even told me to hang out with some of the boys in our circle, to get to know more guys, and not just stay with you guys all the time... I found it strange."
Lou Sasa: "Ah, I didn't expect that we've all reached the age where we can get married."
Zhang Xiyue: "Let me see which one of us will get married the earliest."
Lou Sasa: "Definitely not me, no one's pursuing me."
Zhou Yue: "Maybe Tu Shanyue. She's started taking a look at potential partners."
Tu Shanyue blinked her eyes: "Not necessarily, it's just taking a look, not getting married. Besides, I haven't graduated yet, I'd have to at least wait until I graduate before getting married, right?"
Zhang Xiyue: "Could it be me? I don't want to be hung up on just one guy now."
Weng Jiao: "If we're talking about paper brides, I could be the first one."
Finally, everyone looked at Song Luokui, but they all shook their heads, "Her brother Chi Yu won't agree, let's not even mention it."
Song Luokui: ???
"Alright, let's not soak for too long, let's head back," Lou Sasa stood up first.
Zhang Xiyue followed, "Yeah, let's go eat something delicious."
The group walked along the corridor wrapped in large towels, as there was heating, no one felt cold.
Occasionally, they would bump into one or two people out for a stroll.
After turning a corner, a few people were coming their way. Lou Sasa and Zhang Xiyue at the front instantly stopped, and Song Luokui almost bumped into Weng Jiao in front of her. "What's wrong?"
Song Luokui looked up and made eye contact with Chi Yu. Her eyes widened a little as she saw the people beside him, and she immediately lowered her head. Why was he here too?
Lou Sasa and Zhang Xiyue in the front didn't expect to run into them, and they couldn't help but stop. Weng Jiao had to nudge them from behind before they reacted and quickly walked past.
Song Luokui was at the back, and after walking a distance, she turned her head again, only to find Chi Yu also turning to look at her. Song Luokui immediately turned her head back and caught up with the others.
"Bro, should I point out a few for you later?" Zhan Chaozhi noticed Chi Yu turning his head to look at those few girls, thinking he wanted to do...that.
Chi Yu didn't say a word, but Chen Nan gave him a smack, "Get lost, doesn't the big boss have a cleanliness fetish? Don't ask for dirty stuff."
Zhan Chaozhi laughed awkwardly, "Got it, I thought..."
Chen Nan: "The big boss just stopped because he saw someone he knew." Chen Nan felt very proud in his heart, heh heh, only he knew the big boss's secret. Wasn't that Song Luokui, the Song family's youngest daughter, just now?
At that moment, Chi Yu was thinking about the long, fair legs of Song Luokui that he had just seen. He asked, "Don't you have any private hot spring rooms here?"
Zhan Chaozhi: "We do, but they were fully booked earlier, and there aren't many of those designed."
"I see."
When Song Luokui and the others returned to their room, they ordered a bunch of food to be sent directly to the room. As they ate and chatted, someone said, "That was a fright earlier, why was Chi Yu from the Chi family here?"
Weng Jiao: "Didn't you all know? This hot spring resort belongs to the Zhan family, that was Zhan Chaozhi we saw earlier. It's his place, and Zhan Chaozhi called Chi Yu 'bro'."
Everyone immediately understood.
Zhang Xiyue: "So we ended up at the enemy's resort."
Lou Sasa: "So what? As long as we're having fun."
"You're right, let's eat, it's quite delicious."
Song Luokui didn't say anything on the side. She sent Chi Yu a message, "Why did you come here?"
Chi Yu: "Had some business."
"Oh." Not because of her coming here, then.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone felt sleepy and went back to their rooms to rest. Song Luokui also wanted to return to her room to rest, but then Chi Yu sent her a picture of the mountain scenery, "Want to come?"
Song Luokui walked to the window and looked up at the mountain peak, unable to see clearly. Then Chi Yu's call came, and Song Luokui immediately answered.
Chi Yu: "Do you want to come over? This place isn't open to the public."
Upon hearing it wasn't open to the public, Song Luokui replied, "I'll go, wait for me."
Chi Yu: "I'll have someone pick you up."
Song Luokui quickly changed her clothes and carefully went out. Downstairs, someone was already waiting for her. "Are you Miss Song?"
Song Luokui: "Yes, I am."
The staff member: "Hello, Mr. Chi asked me to pick you up. This way, please."
"Okay, thank you."
Following the staff member, they then got into a small vehicle heading towards the mountain peak. After about ten minutes, the vehicle reached the summit.
Chi Yu was already waiting there. He approached and placed his hand on the top of the car door to support her as she got out, preventing her head from hitting the roof.
Song Luokui held his hand as she got out, "Thank you."
After a few steps, they arrived at a pavilion on the summit with a table and a few chairs. On the table were tea sets, with steam rising from the hot tea water and a fragrant aroma.
Chi Yu gestured for her to take a seat, then started brewing the tea. Finally, he poured a cup and handed it to her.
"Thank you." Song Luokui took it and had a sip, tasting the rich tea fragrance. "It's very good."
Chi Yu also had a sip, and the two looked down at the scenery below. It hadn't snowed in Jing City yet, but the higher elevation near the summit was already covered in white snow.
As it was winter, all the trees had shed their leaves, leaving only bare branches that gave a desolate feeling. The hot spring resort stood in the middle of it all, truly a dwelling deep in the mountains.
"Should I help you take a picture?"
Song Luokui turned to look at him: ?
Chi Yu took out his phone. "Want to?"
Song Luokui: "Sure!"
Song Luokui stood up and chose a nice background, while Chi Yu held the phone, finding a good angle to capture her photo.
After taking it, Song Luokui came over to check and found that Chi Yu had taken quite a good shot. "Send it to me. Do you want me to take one for you?"
Chi Yu walked to where Song Luokui had stood earlier. Song Luokui opened the camera – truly, good-looking people looked good no matter how they were photographed, without needing any posing. Chi Yu simply stood there, with the white snow behind him, making him look even more aloof and pure.
Song Luokui blinked, clicked the shutter, "Got it, let me send it to you to take a look."
"Okay."
Then the two sat back down, drinking tea while chatting, until Song Luokui noticed the time and was worried that her sisters might have woken up and couldn't find her, so she said, "I should go back."
As she was about to stand up, Chi Yu swiftly reached out and pressed his large, warm hand over hers, preventing her from getting up. Song Luokui: ?
Chi Yu: "In a few days, Hali Kaisi will come to our country seeking cooperation. He approached me, but I didn't agree. If he approaches your brother, it's best for him not to agree either."
Song Luokui: "Ah?" She had received some good information, but why was he suddenly telling her this?
Chi Yu smiled: "Consider this a thank-you gift for accompanying me today."
Song Luokui: "I... I understand. I'll let him know."
Chi Yu then withdrew his hand and stood up. "Let's go, I'll go back with you."
The two took the vehicle back down the mountain.
Upon returning to the resort, before getting off the vehicle, Song Luokui turned to look at him again and smiled, "Thank you."
Then she got off and left. Chi Yu paused for a moment, then also smiled.
Watching from the side, Zhan Chaozhi muttered, "Tsk tsk tsk, I think I understand now."
