"What?" Due to extreme disbelief, Yan Yincheng's voice rose slightly. How changeable women could be! She had said the target was the Hundred - Herb Divine Soup, but why did she change her mind? What was so good about that Ganoderma soup!
A Wei said, "Third Master, Miss Yuan just left a while ago. If we take a shortcut, we should still be able to catch up."
Without saying a word, Yan Yincheng left the warm pool, wrapped himself in a bathrobe again, and headed for the natural hot spring.
Rushing all the way, he finally arrived at the natural hot spring pool. Yan Yincheng took off his bathrobe again and got into the water. He had just been soaking for less than five minutes when A Wei ran back again. Pressing the earphone hanging on his ear, he looked close to tears:
"Third Master, A Biao sent a message saying that on their way, Miss Daisa suddenly changed her mind again and became interested in the Hundred - Herb Divine Soup. So... they are now... back at the Hundred - Herb Divine Soup."
Yan Yincheng felt a pang of panic in his heart. He had just left there, and there should still be traces of his use of the soup pool. Zi Xi was so smart. Would she notice something was wrong?
Would their next stop be the SPA center instead of the natural hot spring?
"Let's go to the SPA center!" Yan Yincheng said through gritted teeth.
After saying that, he followed A Wei resolutely towards the SPA center.
At this moment, Xu Zixi, who had come to the Hundred - Herb Divine Soup, saw the footprints on the ground. She exchanged a look with Daisa and couldn't help bursting into laughter.
Zhou Yaru was confused: "What are you guys laughing at?"
Xu Zixi said, "It's nothing. I just think it's fun to tease a cat."
Yuan Xiaoxuan looked at the water footprints on the ground, sighed, and shook his head.
Uncle Yin was so silly! He was actually tricked by Mommy!
The Hundred - Herb Divine Soup was a medicinal bath pool that combined many kinds of Chinese herbal medicines. After soaking here for a while, everyone headed towards the natural hot spring pool as previously planned.
They had already experienced two pools. So after arriving at the natural hot spring pool, they just walked around with the two kids to let them know what a natural hot spring was like.
Soaking in hot springs was actually a very energy - consuming activity. After soaking in the Ganoderma soup and the Hundred - Herb Divine Soup and staying at the natural hot spring pool for a while, upon learning that they were going to the SPA center next, Yuan Xiaoxu hugged Xu Zixi's leg and refused to move.
"Mommy, Xiaoxu is hungry. I want to eat something." Yuan Xiaoxu touched his empty little belly and was on the verge of crying from grievance.
Yuan Xiaoxuan pulled Xu Zixi's hand, hesitating to speak. He didn't want her to leave, but he didn't know what to say to stop her.
Where was Uncle Yin? Mommy was about to leave!
Little Yuan Xiaoxuan was extremely anxious!
Thinking that Yuan Xiaoxuan was also hungry, Xu Zixi held one kid's hand in each of hers and said to the others, "The two kids are hungry. If you still want to play, go ahead. I'll take the kids back first."
Zhou Yaru had been longing for the SPA center for a long time, so she naturally didn't want to go back so early. She invited Daisa to go with her, but Daisa shook her head:
"I'm hungry too. I'll go back with Xiaoxi."
Brother Hu volunteered, "Me, me, me. I'll go with you."
Zhou Yaru sized him up and down. In the end, unable to resist the temptation of the SPA center, she reluctantly agreed, "Okay."
The two waved goodbye and turned towards the SPA center. Xu Zixi, on the other hand, followed Daisa and took the kids towards the exit.
On the other side, Yan Yincheng received another message: "What did you say? Zi Xi is leaving? Damn it!"
Even the usually gentle and polite Third Master Yan couldn't help swearing. Were they just playing with him? After holding back his anger, he asked about the direction to the exit. After confirming that there was only one way out and there was still an independent hot spring on the way where he could act, he immediately got up from the milk - filled hot spring pool in the SPA center, put on his bathrobe, and rushed towards it.
Guided by A Wei, Yan Yincheng took a shortcut and finally arrived at the last hot spring pool before Xu Zixi and Daisa. Hearing the voices of the two kids, Yan Yincheng quickly waved A Wei away.
He had run all the way, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his body. His heart was beating a little fast, and he was a bit out of breath, but he didn't care about all that. He immediately took off his bathrobe and stepped into the hot spring pool.
The warm water wrapped around his body, while his attention was completely focused on the approaching footsteps.
Ten meters... Five meters... Three meters... One meter...
Now!
"Mommy, can Xiaoxu still eat the small biscuits we had for lunch today?" Yuan Xiaoxu took small steps and looked up at Xu Zixi.
Xu Zixi said, "Of course you can~ But you can't eat too many. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat dinner!"
Yuan Xiaoxu nodded: "Okay, Mommy. Xiaoxu knows. Xiaoxu will only eat one piece!" He held up one finger. He looked extremely cute.
Xu Zixi lowered her head and stroked his head, then looked at Yuan Xiaoxuan:
"Xiaoxuan looks a bit unhappy. What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
Yuan Xiaoxuan sighed: "No, Mommy. Xiaoxuan is fine." He was really unhappy, but the reason was that Uncle Yin was so unreliable! He still hadn't showed up!
At this moment -
"Splash!"
Hearing the sound of water, the people on the road were startled and all turned their heads towards the source of the sound.
In a hot spring pool surrounded by bamboo and rockeries, a figure slowly stood up from the water. Without the cover of clothes, one could clearly see his fair - glowing skin, slender neck, sexy Adam's apple, broad shoulders, and well - toned muscles. The clear water slowly flowed down his body, across his reliable chest... his firm abs... and... cough cough cough!
Daisa: "Wow..." This "wow" was full of admiration for beautiful things.
Xu Zixi's eyes had been deeply attracted, and her heart was pounding because of this extremely eye - catching scene. But hearing Daisa's exclamation, she suddenly came to her senses. An unnamed anger burned in her heart. She grabbed Daisa's shoulders and turned her away:
"Close your eyes. Don't look!!!!!"
Daisa covered her eyes: "Okay, okay, okay. I won't look!"
Yuan Xiaoxu was caught off guard and saw someone. His eyes lit up and he shouted, "Uncle Yin!"
Yuan Xiaoxuan covered his mouth tightly, and his eyes curved into two happy crescents. Yeah! Uncle finally showed up!
Yan Yincheng pretended to be calm and said, "Zi Xi? What a coincidence to meet you here. Are you guys going back?"
"Yan Yincheng, you're really something!" Xu Zixi said angrily and turned around to leave.
She was extremely angry. She was so angry that her hair seemed to stand on end! She had thought he could do something, but it turned out he was showing off his good looks in public! If she had known earlier, she would never have brought Daisa!
"Zi Xi! Wait for me!"
This scene matched what he had expected in his heart. Yan Yincheng was secretly happy. He stepped out of the pool and was about to chase after her to continue the next plan. But when he walked out of the hot spring pool, he suddenly felt a dizzy spell in his head, and his body softly slumped to one side!
Although Xu Zixi said she was leaving, her attention was still on Yan Yincheng. When she noticed something was wrong, her body reacted faster than her mind. She rushed forward and caught the falling man.
However, the tall and heavy body of the man suddenly pressed down on her. She couldn't bear such a force at all. She fell into the hot spring pool behind with the man in her arms, splashing a bigger wave of water than before.
"Splash!!"
Xu Zixi was drenched in warm water. She wiped the water off her face and opened her eyes. She found herself sitting in the pool, with a certain someone on top of her. His head was on her shoulder, and his breath was hitting her ear.
Xu Zixi wanted to push the man away, but no matter where she put her hands, the position was inappropriate. So she angrily said, "Yan Yincheng! Have you had enough fun? Get up quickly!"
However, the person lying on her didn't move at all. Xu Zixi's heart skipped a beat. She thought, no way. Could it be that he wasn't pretending but really fainted?
The two kids were lying on the edge of the pool. Yuan Xiaoxu asked nervously, "Mommy, what's wrong with Uncle?"
Yuan Xiaoxuan said, "Mommy, Uncle's face is very red. Is he sick?"
Xu Zixi suddenly remembered that when she saw him just now, his face did look a bit red. She gritted her teeth, ignoring the uneasiness in her heart, and reached out to hold his shoulders and shake him:
"Yan Yincheng, Yan Yincheng, wake up."
"Yan Yincheng?"
"Brother Cheng?"
Yuan Xiaoxu was so anxious that he burst into tears: "Wuwuwu, Uncle... Uncle isn't going to die, is he?"
Xu Zixi blurted out, "Don't talk nonsense. He's still breathing. He just fainted."
Outside, Daisa called out, "Xiaoxi, what's going on? It sounds like something serious. Can I open my eyes?"
Xu Zixi was just worried about what to do. Hearing Daisa's voice, she said, "Daisa, hurry, call a doctor!"
