After Qian Heng's incoherent words, the group realized they had made a huge misunderstanding.

Liu Yitang almost laughed in exasperation: "So you think I've taken a fancy to this guy surnamed He, and that's why I came running here like a puppy because I knew he was coming to your hot spring resort?"

Qian Heng nodded: "That's right."

"I'm talking to you my foot!"

Liu Yitang really wanted to slap him on the head: "Am I blind, or is your brain broken?! Is He Yubai money?! You think you like him just because you asked him a question?! You've fallen for him?!?"

A barrage of deadly questions came at Qian Heng, and he almost couldn't handle it.

He could only reluctantly pull out their chat history: "But the way you sounded, like a mouse seeing rice, you were so happy."

Liu Yitang: "..."

"Go to hell! You're the rat! Your whole family are rats!"

He Yubai was also speechless. What rice? Who is rice?

Feeling inexplicably irritated, he simply snatched Qian Heng's phone.

The two chat logs were instantly captured in his eyes. In order to accommodate Jiang Mian, who wanted to gossip but pretended to be reserved, her eyes kept glancing at the chat logs.

He Yubai simply handed over part of his phone, and Jiang Mian was surprised that the other party had actually seen through her little scheme.

But now is not the time to worry about this; let's just enjoy the show first.

In the chat history, Qian Heng resembled a greasy playboy who was eager to find topics to talk about.

First, he made it clear that his family was very wealthy, and then he subtly reminded himself that he had opened a hot spring resort and wanted to invite Liu Yitang to come and play.

But this school beauty, Liu, lived up to her reputation as aloof and simply replied with "I'm not going."

Qian Heng didn't give up immediately. Instead, he adopted a roundabout tactic, intentionally or unintentionally mentioning that his good friend would be bringing his girlfriend over, and that seeing the two of them so sweet and loving would make him feel pitiful all alone.

He then revealed that his good friend and Liu, the school beauty, were both students in the business school. He said that Liu was incredibly handsome, even more so than the school heartthrob, and he was certain that she knew him.

It has to be said that Qian Heng made the right bet.

His words sounded like a provocation, but Liu Yitang still fell for it and asked him who that person was.

Qian Heng, being rather naive, replied that his good brother's name was He Yubai.

With just that simple sentence, Liu Yitang on the other end instantly exploded:

—What?! He Yubai?! He's your brother?!?

Wait a minute! You said he'd bring his girlfriend?!

—Where did he get a girlfriend?!

Who is his girlfriend?

—You're his good buddy, right?

"He's coming to your place today, right? Send me the address! I'm going to wait for him right now!"

Just you wait!

...

Jiang Mian found these conversations quite interesting.

He Yubai, however, had the expression of someone looking at a phone like an elderly person on the subway.

While Jiang Mian was still engrossed in watching, he simply threw the phone back at Qian Heng, his face turning ugly: "Are you blind or stupid?? With that tone that's practically tearing me apart, you can mistake it for liking me?! Qian Heng, I think you should give up opening the hot spring shop and save the money to buy some walnuts to nourish your brain!"

Qian Heng hurriedly caught the phone: "How would I know so much? I thought you two knew each other before because of love turned to hate."

Liu Yitang scoffed, "That's not wrong, it's his fault for stealing my Wanwan away!"

After saying that, he ignored the two of them and directly put his arm around Jiang Mian's arm and walked inside.

"Wanwan, let's go, let's not stay with these stinky boys."

Liu Yitang seemed to be doing it on purpose, taking large strides and not wanting to wait for the two boys behind her at all.

Jiang Mian was forced to be dragged along, and before she could say a word to He Yubai, she had already been pulled far away by Liu Yitang.

He Yubai's brows furrowed deeply as he tried to catch up.

Then she heard Qian Heng next to her raise his hand and sniff himself, saying something shocking: "Does it smell bad? I don't feel anything. I even sprayed on some expensive perfume so that I could make a good impression on Liu, the school beauty, today."

He was fine when he didn't move, but as he did, the scent of his perfume wafted out and reached He Yubai's nose.

What a show-off!

It's only because He Yubai is so well-mannered that he would roll his eyes.

He patted Qian Heng on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Heng, I really wish you and that school beauty Liu a long and happy marriage. You'd better put in some effort, you two are a perfect match!"

Qian Heng, being a carefree person, didn't pick up on the sarcastic tone at all. Instead, he asked with a beaming smile, "Really?"

“Yeah,” He Yubai nodded in agreement, “One’s crazy, the other’s stupid, you two should really stick together forever!”

Only after He Yubai left did Qian Heng belatedly realize what was happening: "Damn it! He Yubai, you're a real dog! I've told you so many times, I'm not stupid!"

Since it's a hot spring resort, the main reason for coming here is naturally to soak in the hot springs.

By the time He Yubai arrived, Liu Yitang had already taken Jiang Mian to the women's bathhouse.

Seeing his gaze fixed intently on the entrance to the women's bath, the aunt at the door spoke up at the opportune moment, "Esteemed guest, the men's bath is over there on the other side. Please go that way."

Auntie has lived to be so old, she's seen everything, and encountered all sorts of bizarre things.

At this moment, the guarded posture made it seem as if she regarded He Yubai as some kind of pervert, fearing that if she wasn't careful, this person would barge into the women's bath.

After all, these wealthy young people not only have a wild lifestyle, but they also have extravagant spending habits.
