Hot spring encounter

Chen Xiao said, "He bought it for you, so go sell it!"

Sun Ying: "......"

"You're so naughty~~"

Chen Xiao: "......"

Senior sister, when you talk like that, it makes me very uncomfortable...

Sun Ying chuckled, "Uncomfortable? Then…"

......

The Hotel included three meals a day. While not overly extravagant, some of the specialty dishes were exquisitely prepared.

Surrounded by beautiful scenery, delicious food, and stunning women, Chen Xiao experienced for the first time what it truly meant to live.

Before, that could only be called existing; this, damn it, is what life should be called!

In the afternoon, after the two of them ate and rested, recovering their strength, the water temperature in the pool became just right.

Chen Xiao helped Sun Ying apply waterproof sunscreen all over her body, and the two walked into the pool hand in hand.

Sun Ying pestered Chen Xiao to teach her how to swim.

Chen Xiao couldn't refuse and had to teach her from scratch, hand by hand.

After more than an hour of struggling, Sun Ying hadn't learned a thing.

Just then, Chen Xiao suddenly saw a familiar figure.

His memory quickly resurfaced, and within ten seconds, he remembered that it was Xing Yanqing!

Chen Xiao immediately pulled Sun Ying into his arms, using his back to shield her.

"What are you doing…?"

"Shh, Xing Yanqing is over there."

Sun Ying looked back through the gap.

She saw Xing Yanqing embracing an unfamiliar woman, chatting and playing happily.

"Let's go, back to the room."

The two intentionally found a discreet route and returned to the room.

Chen Xiao looked at the silent Sun Ying and asked, "Are you… okay?"

Sun Ying looked up and smiled, "What could be wrong with me? In the world of fame and fortune, everyone is just putting on a show. He couldn't get me, and he wasn't willing to give up, so he just strung me along while playing around over there."

Seeing that she was taking it so well, Chen Xiao didn't say anything more.

Sun Ying suddenly grabbed Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao: "......"

Sun Ying was inherently sexy with a hint of purity, further enhanced by the visual effect of her clothing.

It was visually striking.

Xing Yanqing, you might never have imagined that the goddess you yearned for was so eager to please and even extremely humble in front of Chen Xiao…

......

The next morning, the alarm clock woke them both up.

Sun Ying stretched lazily.

"Oh, my back and waist ache. How am I supposed to go shopping today…?"

Chen Xiao smiled, "I'll go out and get a taxi first, then wait for you."

After that, they lingered for a moment longer before Chen Xiao opened the door and went out. He stood outside the Hotel, lit a cigarette, and looked for an available taxi.

As luck would have it, Xing Yanqing also emerged from the Hotel, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, unlit.

Upon seeing Chen Xiao, he turned and walked over.

"Brother, got a light?"

Chen Xiao smiled as he offered it to him, and then, with a hint of meaning, said, "Brother, you're blessed. Your girlfriend is really beautiful."

Xing Yanqing was stunned, and he gave an awkward laugh, "Hehe, she's alright, alright. Thanks, man."

Then he put his arm around the displeased woman and left.

Chen Xiao watched his retreating back with a smile and muttered to himself.

"You're welcome. I'll take good care of your girlfriend."

......

Xing Yanqing hadn't made his fortune yet at this time. He got into his Passat and drove away with the woman.

He was probably in a hurry for his appointment with Sun Ying.

Twenty minutes later, Sun Ying emerged, her face heavily wrapped, and her steps a bit wobbly.

Chen Xiao chuckled, "Xing Yanqing left a while ago, no need to worry."

Sun Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That bastard, I'll see what lies he uses to smooth things over today. I'm going to squeeze a bag out of him, let's go!"

Upon arriving at the school, Chen Xiao insisted on giving Sun Ying the Fruit 4, then returned to his dormitory feeling refreshed.

Meanwhile, Sun Ying still had to rush to her so-called arena of fame and fortune to mediate.

At first, Chen Xiao didn't understand her. Why did she have to make herself so tired?

But later, he understood. Not everyone has the chance to be reborn, to see life clearly.

Back in the dormitory, Chen Xiao found that Ji Yuzheng was not there.

Liu Xin wasn't there either.

He went to a few other dorms, offered cigarettes to the smoking classmates, then returned to lie on his bed and catch up on sleep.

He slept until it was almost dark, only to be woken by the sound of Ji Yuzheng opening the door upon his return.

His depleted energy was about seventy to eighty percent recovered.

Chen Xiao checked the time and asked, "Where did you go?"

Ji Yuzheng just smiled and didn't speak, then, uncharacteristically, pulled out a pack of cigarettes he had bought and tossed two to Chen Xiao.

As soon as Chen Xiao saw his sly smile, he knew something was up.

Damn it, could it be…

Calculating the time, it really was around this period in his previous life.

He pulled out his phone and sent a message to Li Wenli.

[Where are you? What did you do today?]

He quickly received a reply.

[What? Checking up on me? I spent the whole day catching up on assignments at the art studio. I'm exhausted. Want to come find me? No one's in the art studio, you know.]

Chen Xiao: "......"

He thought, 'You're tired? I'm more tired than you. If I went, wouldn't I die of exhaustion?'

[Oh, I have something on tonight, so I won't go. Go back and rest early.]

Li Wenli then sent another emoji, signaling the end of their communication.

It wasn't Li Wenli… Did the timeline change, and Xiao Ji found someone else?

Chen Xiao decided to trick him.

"You don't have to say it, brother, I already know. I saw it all, you and that girl…"

"Damn it! Xiao Ge, even if you saw it, don't tell anyone, okay?"

"What the hell would I say? But that girl looks unfamiliar, is she not from our department?"

Ji Yuzheng gave a lewd smile, "Hehe, she's not from our department, she's from the vocal music department."

"Oh… alright, alright, Ji Ge, you're awesome." Chen Xiao felt relieved, confirming it wasn't Li Wenli. It seemed her life trajectory in this life had been altered.

"Hehe, keep it low-key, don't tell anyone, okay?" He reminded him again, feeling uneasy.

"Got it. I'm going to eat. Want me to bring you anything?"

"No need, I've already eaten." Ji Yuzheng said, opening his computer, ready to embark on his journey.

"Alright then."

Chen Xiao thought, 'This bastard, even if you brought him food a hundred times, you wouldn't even get a sip of his soup.'

After eating, Chen Xiao rested for a bit and felt his energy return to its peak.

Not wanting to go back to the dormitory and listen to Xiao Ji's speaker noise, he grabbed his swimsuit and went to the swimming pool.

He planned to swim a few laps properly and get some exercise.

The next day, Wu Ling returned after finishing her project.

Shen Jiancheng had been busy organizing a meal since early morning, but he had to give up because he couldn't find Liu Xin.

Finally, in the evening, all four of them were gathered.

As soon as Wu Ling saw Xiao Zi, she questioned, "Xiao Zi, while I was gone, you didn't take Shen Jiancheng to pick up girls, did you?"

Chen Xiao: "…Damn it, if anyone took him, it would be Liu Xin. I'm a pure and innocent virgin, how could I possibly do that?"
