After dinner, Chu Yan asked them where they wanted to go to play. Chu Ruoruo immediately raised her hand. “I want to go to the amusement park. I want to ride the roller coaster, the drop tower and the pirate ship! I also want to visit the Science and Technology Museum.”
Chu Yan replied indifferently, “You should go with your classmates to the amusement park or go shopping with them.”
Chu Ruoruo smiled and nodded. “That’s right. That’s why I am asking you, Brother, to accompany me. You can just send us to the entrance of the amusement park. We’ll play by ourselves and won’t disturb you from your work.”
Chu Yan:”…”
He stared at Chu Ruoruo for a while. Then, he instantly looked very serious. “The roller coaster, drop tower, and pirate ship are all dangerous rides. You should avoiding riding them.”
Chu Ruoruo felt that her brother was unhappy.
However, she couldn’t understand why he was unhappy. She smiled and started speaking in a soft and cute voice. “Brother.”
Chu Yan ignored her. “…”
Chu Ruoruo called out again, “Brother.”
Ye Qingran felt like her bones were about to go soft from how cute her behavior was.
If it was Chu Ruoruo who saved her, she would have agreed long ago.
However, Chu Yan still did not waver. He simply said, “Capital City is not like Jiang City. The weather is very cold. No one goes to the amusement park to play. You can come over again during summer vacation.”
Ye Qingran: “…”
He really didn’t know how to be gentle.
At first, Ye Qingran thought that he was someone who was over-protective of his sister, but now she realized that he was nothing like that at all.
Chu Ruoruo recalled the conversation just now. Could it be that her brother just did not want her to take Brother Ran away?
“Alright then, let’s go somewhere else instead.” It must be so. She really did not expect that her brother was actually a clingy person.
“Hey hey hey, stop thinking about it, Chu Ruoruo.” She told herself quietly.
I can’t accept the fact that her boyfriend has become her “sister-in-law”.
Brother Ran was still her boyfriend, so she didn’t want to give him away to her brother. She just wants to be with Brother Ran. Her brother was so mean…
If she wasn’t allowed to go to the amusement park, and she wasn’t allowed to take Brother Ran away either, then how was she going to have fun this winter?
Oh right! During winter, they could go to the hot spring!
Chu Ruoruo’s eyes immediately lit up. She asked Chu Yan, “Brother, there’s a very famous hot spring resort in the suburbs of Capital City. Can we go there? However, it’s the New Year holiday season now, so many people will definitely be there for holidays. I’m afraid there won’t be any rooms left.”
“Let me ask.”
As Chu Yan spoke, he walked off to the side to make a phone call.
Ye Qingran: “…”
Wh…what?
Go to a hot spring resort?
Soak in a hot spring?
She was pretending to a man! There was no way she could possibly go to such a place. If she did, it would be equivalent to self-destruction.
Chu Ruoruo’s eyes lit up as she looked at Ye Qingran and said, “Brother Ran, this weather is the most comfortable time to go and soak in the hot spring. Do you want to soak in one with me?”
Ye Qingran immediately turned her down. “No, I’m not interested in the hot spring and I’m not interested in you either. I’m going to look around Capital City.”
“Come on, don’t say no. We can go and take a look around Capital City tomorrow or the day after! Let’s go soak in the hot spring today.” Chu Ruoruo said seductively. “The hot spring in Capital City is very famous. You can’t miss it.”
Of course, Ye Qingran wouldn’t go.
However, she wasn’t in a hurry to refuse.
After all, it was a holiday, so it was very difficult to book a room.
Yet, as soon as this thought came to her mind, Chu Yan returned from his phone call. He said, “He Cizhou has booked us rooms. We can just go ahead and make our way there.”
Chu Ruoruo immediately jumped up and shouted, “Yay!”
Ye Qingran: “…”
What the heck, He Cizhou? If you weren’t the one going to the hot spring, why did you even go through all the trouble to book a room?
Yet, you still booked it. If you wanted to go there so badly, then go ahead!
What an annoying guy.
Urgh.
Ye Qingran looked at the two of them and said, “I won’t go. I don’t like hot springs. You guys can go ahead. I’ll head back first and sleep.”
Chu Ruoruo pouted. “How can I let you do that? Since we came here together to play, we definitely have to go back together too!. If you don’t want to soak and just want to sleep, you can just follow us to the resort and sleep the.”
As she spoke, she dragged Ye Qingran into the car.
Ye Qingran was resigned and decided to follow them after all. If it’s public bath, she wouldn’t visit the hot spring and will stay in the room and sleep.
Two hours later, the three of them arrived at the hot spring resort.
He Cizhou had booked a high-class VIP courtyard for them, which had a private butler.
The hot spring resort was huge.
Each courtyard had a different design. There were various Oriental or Western-styled courtyard.
The one they lived was of a fusion design. The floor was covered with tatami mats.
Surrounding it was the lawn and a long corridor which stretched all the way to a fence in the middle of the courtyard. The fence surrounded a hot spring pool and a tall tree was planted right next to the pool. Milky white steam was emanating off the hot spring pool, forming dense white clouds. The clouds were the most dense right in the center, and as it floated outwards and spread out, it became thinner and thinner, all the way until it faded away right in front of the door.
It made the courtyard look like a mystical fairytale land here on Earth.
As they did not have to go to the public area to enjoy soaking in the hot spring, Chu Ruoruo cried out in excitement.
She did not dare to go to the public area alone, but she could not ask Chu Yan to accompany her either, so she could only call Ye Qingran.
However, now that she could soak in the small courtyard right in their resort, of course she would not have to pester Ye Qingran to accompany her anymore.
Half an hour after dinner, she immediately changed into the children’s version of a swimsuit that she had just bought. Then, she jumped into the hot spring pool.
She felt extremely carefree having an entire pool to herself to soak alone. She even took a bunch of photos.
Ye Qingran hid in her room and pretended that she was going to sleep. She was going to wait for them to finish soaking before going.
As she laid down and pretended to sleep, eventually, she really did fall asleep and took a nap for a while.
When she woke up, she realized that it was already past ten o’clock.
There were four rooms in this courtyard, and the lights in all three rooms were on.
It was already so late. Even if that pair of siblings had not fallen asleep, they should have finished soaking in the hot spring by now.
Ye Qingran took a shower and changed into t-shirt and shorts. Then, she carried a cup of brown sugar water towards the hot spring pool.
There was also a bathroom next to the pool. She washed her feet and walked into the hot spring pool.
She folded the towel and rested it on her back. She closed her eyes and leaned against the wall of the pool. Occasionally, she would take a sip or two of the brown sugar water. She was very relaxed and comfortable.
Suddenly, she heard a soft sound coming from behind her.
Ye Qingran subconsciously turned her head and saw Chu Yan walking in from the entrance of the fence wall.
She was shocked and wanted to stand up immediately.
However, the bottom of the pool was a little slippery. She lost her footing and fell into the water. Her hair was wet and she almost choked on the water.
Chu Yan quickly stepped into the pool. He stretched out his long arm and scooped her up from the water.
Ye Qingran closed her eyes and wiped the water off her face with her hand. At the same time, she smoothed her short hair back.
When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was very close to Chu Yan. She could not control her heart from beating furiously and quickly took a step back.
This time, she did not fall.
Her body tilted backwards a little. Fortunately, the person in front of her immediately reached out and supported her waist with his arm
Due to the inertia of the pulling, Ye Qingran subconsciously moved forward and her entire body was pressed against Chu Yan.
He was hugging her waist as he looked down at her.
Her hand was on his chest and she raised her head to look at him.
It was only for a moment, but it felt as if time had stopped right at this moment. The lights fell on them like a filter, making the scene extremely beautiful, warm, and dazzling.
