Huang Zhenzhen noticed that Daisa looked strange. Following her gaze, she also saw A Wei showing off his muscles and burst out laughing.
"That's Mr. Yan's bodyguard. What on earth is he doing?"
Xu Zixi was sitting with her back to the window. Hearing this, she turned around as well and couldn't help chuckling. Looking at Daisa, she said, "It seems someone is at their wit's end and is now planning to seduce you with a hunk."
Daisa was enjoying the show. Hearing this, she immediately put on a serious face. "Humph. I'll show him with my actions that I'm a decent girl! I won't be tempted!"
Ignoring A Wei outside who was still showing off his muscles, the four of them continued playing mahjong.
Outside the window, A Wei peeked into the mahjong room furtively. Then, looking dejected, he walked up to Wei Shu and said, "Brother Wei, it seems Miss Daisa isn't interested in me. My muscles aren't as well - built as A Biao's. How about asking Brother Biao to give it a try?"
After that, A Wei and Wei Shu both turned to look at A Biao.
A little while later...
Huang Zhenzhen said, "Sasa, look! This time it's a different guy. This bodyguard's muscles look even more developed than the last one."
Daisa looked out of the window. A Biao was using two stones as dumbbells and doing squats outside.
Xu Zixi said, "Sasa, if you really like A Wei or A Biao, I can consider playing matchmaker for you."
Daisa quickly replied, "Even though I like hunks, I'm very picky, okay? I don't like muscles that look like they've been pumped up like that."
But after saying that, she secretly swallowed her saliva and cried inwardly. Wuwuwu, she mustn't defect. She was on Xiaoxi's side!
A Biao also peeked into the mahjong room furtively. Finding that the four of them were still calmly playing mahjong, he returned dejectedly.
"Brother Wei, I failed too. How about we call A Meng back? Maybe Miss Daisa likes Brother Meng's type?"
Wei Shu glanced at A Biao and said with a complicated expression, "It takes a three - hour drive from Yushuiwan to here. By the time A Meng gets here, it will already be tomorrow."
"What should we do then? If we can't complete Third Master's task, we'll all be in big trouble!" A Wei said anxiously.
"Since direct seduction doesn't work, we have to outsmart them." Wei Shu said after thinking for a while.
In the mahjong room, Xu Zixi's luck was getting better and better. She hardly got any bad hands and won round after round, which made the other three very depressed. Zhou Yaru couldn't help saying,
"Thank goodness we're just playing for fun. Otherwise, we'd lose our shirts tonight."
"Xiaoxi's luck is so good! This lucky - charm luck is really enviable." Daisa sighed.
At this moment, Daisa's phone on the table suddenly rang. The caller ID showed it was from the front desk of the hot - spring hotel. Daisa hesitated for a moment and then answered the call.
"Miss Daisa? Hello, this is the service desk of Yunhe Mountain Hot - Spring Hotel. We're very sorry to inform you that the faucet in the bathroom of the room above yours is broken, and the whole room is flooded. To avoid disturbing your and the other guest's rest, we may have to trouble you to change rooms."
Hearing that the room above was leaking and it might affect their room, Daisa and Zhou Yaru had no mood to continue playing mahjong. They got up and went back to pack their luggage to change rooms.
Looking at the time, Huang Zhenzhen asked, "Xiaoxi, it's still early. How about we go to the cocktail party?"
Xu Zixi yawned and said, "I'm tired. I'll go back to rest first. You and Xiaoyang have fun."
After saying that, she patted Huang Zhenzhen on the shoulder and left the mahjong room gracefully.
When she got back to the room, Xu Zixi saw the two kids and Nanny Zhang playing in the children's playground. Hearing the noise, the two kids looked up at her, then threw down their toys and enthusiastically rushed towards her.
"Mummy~ You're back~ Was mahjong fun?"
Yuan Xiaoxu hung on her and pouted.
"Fun~ It's as fun as your building blocks." Xu Zixi pinched his nose and said. "When did you guys get back?"
Yuan Xiaoxuan said, "We've been back for a while."
Xu Zixi looked at Nanny Zhang and asked, "How's the cocktail party?"
She was probably asking about a certain someone's situation rather than the party itself. Nanny Zhang withdrew her gaze from the familiar dress Xu Zixi was wearing and said, "Learning that you weren't coming, Mr. Yan left without staying any longer."
Xu Zixi let out a sigh of relief. She smiled and nodded at Nanny Zhang. "Okay, you can go back."
In the bathroom, Xu Zixi took down the bun she had specially done to match her dress in front of the mirror. Her soft hair fell down. Looking at herself in the mirror and thinking of Yan Yincheng's expression when he learned she didn't show up, she couldn't help laughing.
She never intended to attend this cocktail party from the very beginning. She put on this dress just because the two kids wanted her to. Daisa was also cooperating with her, getting Zhou Yaru and Huang Zhenzhen to stage this "one - player - short" drama.
Bringing the kids on this hot - spring trip and cooking a meal for him with her own hands, she thought she had given him enough favors. The plot couldn't always follow his script and let him do whatever he wanted without a care.
Next, it was time for her to ask for her due.
On the other hand, Daisa and Zhou Yaru rushed back to their room. Looking up, they saw that the wall was indeed wet, which completely dispelled their doubts. Daisa told Zhou Yaru to hurry up and pack their luggage and leave.
At the hotel front desk, the staff member smiled and said, "Here are your room cards. You can just go to your new room with your luggage."
"Okay, thank you." Zhou Yaru took the room cards.
The two of them were walking towards their new room with their luggage when they almost bumped into someone at a corner. Daisa took a closer look, and her heart skipped a beat.
The person who almost bumped into them was Wei Shu. But he looked a bit disheveled at the moment. Water was dripping from his hair, and most of his shirt was wet. The wet white shirt clung tightly to his body, revealing the faint outline of his powerful muscles.
Zhou Yaru said, "Assistant Wei, why are you all wet?"
Not expecting to meet them, Wei Shu pretended to be calm and said, "I heard from the hotel that the room above yours was leaking, so I went up to check. The water pipe has been fixed now. I'm sorry I didn't arrange things properly in advance, making you change rooms so late."
"I didn't expect you to be able to fix water pipes. Assistant Wei is really all - round." Zhou Yaru sighed.
"It's nothing. As Mr. Yan's assistant, these are all necessary skills." He smiled and casually ran his fingers through his hair. The shirt moved accordingly, and one could clearly see...
Daisa's head buzzed. Her cheeks flushed for no reason, and she quickly averted her gaze. "We... We'll go to our new room to put our luggage first!"
After saying that, she pulled Zhou Yaru and ran away in a hurry as if being chased by a dog.
Wei Shu's hand, which was wiping his hair, froze in mid - air. A look of confusion gradually appeared in his eyes. What was going on? Well, never mind. Fortunately, he managed to get away with it and didn't let them find out that he was the one who broke the water pipe. Hehe, he finally completed Third Master's task tonight. Sure enough, outsmarting them was the way to go!
Swiping their cards, they entered the new room. Zhou Yaru crossed her arms behind Daisa and said, "What are you doing? You look like a thief."
Daisa straightened up. "No, I'm not. Don't slander me. I'm very innocent."
After a pause, she said a bit shyly, "I didn't expect Assistant Wei to have such a good figure."
Zhou Yaru: "… You still had the mood to check out his figure in such a short time?!"
As night deepened, the lights went out one by one. The outline of Yunhe Mountain Hot - Spring Valley faded into the silent forest. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the whole world seemed to become completely quiet, leaving all the regrets in the past.
The gentle breeze blew, and the branches of the pine trees swayed slightly, making a soft rustling sound. The moonlight shone through the gaps in the branches and fell on the window sill, becoming the only source of light in the room. On a certain big bed, the quilt bulged in the shapes of one big and two small figures. The people lying on it seemed to be in a deep sleep.
Suddenly, the two almost - identical kids who seemed to be asleep opened their eyes. Their black - and - white pupils were extremely bright. The two kids carefully stuck out their bottoms and wriggled out of the quilt. Silently, they slid down along the edge of the bed and started walking towards the door on their short little legs.
