"Come to think of it, every bodyguard around Mr. Yan is in great shape. That chest muscle, that broad back, those arms. You can tell at a glance that they're very strong," Desha said with a drooling look on her face.
Zhou Yaru rubbed her arms and said in disgust, "Why are you so interested in muscle men? I don't like men with all those bulging muscles. They look like they might be prone to domestic violence. Right, Xiaoxi?"
Xu Zixi said, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I share Desha's preference. After all, how can I entrust my happiness to a man I can beat?"
Hearing the conversation among the three, Brother Hu was shocked. What? There were actually people in this world who didn't like men with muscles? He quietly felt the muscles he had specially built up for this event. He should have given up on this if he'd known! He'd been gorging on protein these days. It wasn't easy!
Ever since that night when Zhou Yaru had completely overpowered him, he couldn't help thinking about her. In all these years, she was the first girl to remember his forgettable face. Although it was because he'd snatched her comic, she was so special...
Brother Hu couldn't help stealing a glance at Zhou Yaru again, only to be caught red - handed. Zhou Yaru frowned and said,
"What are you looking at? Do you have a problem with what I just said? Watch out or I'll beat you up!"
"Who's looking at you! Don't be so conceited! I think it's you who's been looking at me!" Brother Hu retorted with his neck stuck out.
"If you weren't looking at me, how would you know I was looking at you!" Zhou Yaru shot back.
"I don't care. You were definitely looking at me!" Brother Hu insisted.
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Xu Zixi said, "Come on, everyone. We're all friends. Harmony brings wealth."
The two snorted and turned their heads away.
Before coming here, Xu Zixi had already informed Hu Yuankang. So the two kids were led by him into the men's dressing room, while Xu Zixi went into the women's dressing room with Desha and Zhou Yaru.
The dressing rooms in this hot - spring resort paid great attention to customers' privacy. Different from other dressing rooms that were only separated by a curtain, there were separate compartments for changing and bathing next to each locker here. The doors of the compartments were locked and could only be opened by swiping the number plate given at the front desk, ensuring excellent privacy.
Xu Zixi looked at the number plate in her hand, then at the closed door of the compartment. She swiped it lightly on the handle. After two beeps, the door lock opened.
She grasped the handle, took a deep breath, and yanked the door open -
The compartment was empty.
Well, it seemed she'd been over - worried.
However, before changing clothes, she still carefully inspected every corner of the compartment to make sure there were no problems.
When Xu Zixi walked out of the compartment in her swimsuit, Zhou Yaru couldn't help exclaiming, "Wow!!"
The woman in front of her was perfect.
The pink swimsuit clung to her body, highlighting her slender waist, long and straight legs, and well - defined muscles, forming a charming and curvy silhouette. The white pearls and sheer veil around her shoulders made her skin look like creamy fat. On her back, a blooming red camellia connected the two ends of the swimsuit, creating a tantalizing semi - concealed visual effect. To make it convenient for soaking in the hot spring, the woman had casually coiled up her hair that usually cascaded down her back, with a few stray strands framing her face and neck, adding a touch of charm to her innocence.
Desha was instantly smitten, her eyes filled with heart - shaped pupils.
"So this is what it means to be both pure and seductive! If I were a man, I'd rather be single for the rest of my life if I couldn't marry Xiaoxi!"
Xu Zixi was also quite satisfied with her outfit, though a hint of regret flashed through her mind. She put on a bathrobe, wrapped herself up tightly, then turned around, smiling as she poked Desha's forehead:
"Then you're doomed to be a bachelor for life. There are plenty of people who want to marry me. You'll have to take a number and wait in line."
Desha hugged her arm and laughed, "So I became a woman to be your best friend!"
The three of them chatted and laughed as they lifted the curtain of the dressing room and walked towards the hot - spring entrance.
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Mr. Yan or the others since lunch. I feel like something's off," Desha said.
Xu Zixi's lips curved slightly, "Really? In what way?"
Desha rubbed her chin, "I can't quite put my finger on it."
In the staff lounge in the center of the hot - spring resort, Third Master Yan, who was gearing up, was on the phone with Wei Shu, "Really? Did Zixi really say that?"
"Of course, Third Master. The staff at the front desk heard it clearly."
Yan Yincheng couldn't control the stupid smile on his face.
He never thought that Zixi actually liked strong men and even required them to be able to beat her! Who in this world was more suitable for her than him? It was worth the sleepless nights he'd spent building his muscles these days, increasing his four - pack abs to an eight - pack. Third Master Yan regained his confidence!
For the next plan, he couldn't be as passive as he'd been at lunch. He had to perform well and aim for a one - shot victory! He was determined to capture Zixi's heart!
At the entrance, Xu Zixi and the others met up with Brother Hu and the two kids, then they all came to the area - distribution sign. They were all concentrating on the map and didn't notice a person in a cleaner's uniform behind them pretending to sweep the garbage while wearing an earphone.
The resort was divided into three areas. The first area was the Hua Tuo Seven - Star Pools with traditional Chinese medicine therapeutic effects. The seven medicinal - bath pools were arranged in the pattern of the Big Dipper and named after Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, etc., which was quite unique.
The second area was the main attraction, the natural hot springs of Yunhe Mountain.
The third area was a high - end Thai - style SPA center with milk, red - wine, and petal - filled baths, focusing on beauty, health, and body - shaping services, charged by the hour.
"Shall we split up or go together?" Desha asked, pointing to a place on the sign, "I want to try the Baicao Qiankun Soup at the Yaoguang position. What about you, Yaru?"
Zhou Yaru said, "I want to go to the SPA center to soak in the milk bath and sea - salt bath. The rose bath sounds good too. What about you, Xiaoxi?"
Yuan Xiaoxuan shook Xu Zixi's hand, blinking his big eyes, "Mommy, baby wants to go to the natural hot spring~"
Yuan Xiaoxu echoed, "Go to the natural hot spring!"
Brother Hu said seriously, "I... I'll go to the SPA center with Xiaozhou! We can discuss the plot of Spider - Man."
Zhou Yaru didn't think much and said, "Okay!"
Everyone had different ideas and wanted to go to three different areas, which was a bit of a dilemma. However...
Xu Zixi said with a smile,
"Let's all go together. We'll follow Desha to soak in the Baicao Qiankun Soup first, then go to the volcanic hot spring that the kids are interested in, and finally go to the SPA center to experience the services. How about that?"
Everyone always followed her advice, so no one refused. Thus, they all set off cheerfully towards the Hua Tuo Seven - Star Pools first.
Holding Mommy's hand, Yuan Xiaoxuan looked up at Auntie Sasa, Auntie Yaru, and Uncle Tiger, then worriedly put his finger in his mouth.
What should he do? With so many people around, how could Uncle kiss Mommy...
At the natural hot - spring pool in the second area, after receiving the call, Yan Yincheng said, "They're going to act together? What's the route? Their first stop is the Baicao Qiankun Soup at the Yaoguang position?"
Zixi was really vigilant and didn't want to be alone. But it didn't matter. His plan was actually better with more people.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Yincheng patted A Wei in front of him, "Baicao Qiankun Soup. Hurry up."
