Chapter 26 A Lively World of Four
Gu Chaoyu walked over and opened the door.
Outside the door, a "waiter" wearing a staff hat was pushing a food cart. The hat was pulled down so low that it almost covered his entire face.
"Hello sir, this is room service. This is the welcome fruit and snacks our hotel gives you free of charge."
The voice was deliberately lowered and sounded a little funny.
Gu Chaoyu looked at the man in front of him who wanted to shrink himself into his work clothes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
How could he not recognize Su Wanqing? Su Wanqing's thoughts were all exposed before him:
They'd never guess I'd prepared "little umbrellas" for them along with the fruits and snacks. What a wonderful sister I am!
He calmly took the oversized fruit plate and said to Lin Muci behind him, "It seems that this place has good service. They also gave away so many things."
Lin Muci was completely oblivious. He looked at the plate full of freshly cut fruits and exquisite snacks, and sincerely thanked the "waiter" repeatedly: "Thank you, you've worked so hard!"
Just as Su Wanqing was pushing the cart and preparing to slip away at the speed of light, a familiar male voice sounded from behind her.
"Wanqing?"
Su Wanqing's body froze as if someone had pressed the pause button.
This voice... She would recognize it even if it turned into ashes!
She turned around slowly and saw the face she would never forget.
Zhou Yang was wearing a well-tailored suit, with an expression of "it's you" on his face.
At this moment, Su - the elite female boss - Wanqing's heart experienced a transition from ecstasy of shipping a couple to panic as if the world were about to end.
[Zhou Yang?! Why is he here?!]
[It's over! It's over! It's over! I'm dressed like a waiter! He must think I'm doing badly and have fallen to working here!]
My elite image! My million-follow blogger aura! It's all ruined!
[Family, who understands! The biggest fear when meeting an ex is that I'm worse off than them! I've completely humiliated myself today!]
Zhou Yang's appearance surprised Lin Muci in the room.
"Zhou Yang? Why are you here?"
Zhou Yang walked over with a smile and patted Lin Muci's shoulder familiarly: "You're great, you finally got it."
As he spoke, his gaze moved meaningfully over Gu Chaoyu.
Gu Chaoyu nodded politely as a greeting.
It was not until this moment that Lin Muci realized that the "waiter" just now... was his cousin!
"Sister?! What are you doing?" Lin Muci was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
Su Wanqing wanted nothing more than to die right there. She quickly took off her hat, glared fiercely at Lin Muci, and then used her eyes to frantically hint at him—Look at the fruit plate! There’s a surprise in the fruit plate!
At this moment, Gu Chaoyu's mind-reading ability became the best MVP of the game.
He instantly sorted out all the connections and misunderstandings: Su Wanqing had followed them all the way here, pretending to be a waiter delivering something, to assist them. And Zhou Yang's appearance was no accident. Judging from Su Wanqing's shocked expression, Zhou Yang was most likely targeting her.
Su Wanqing no longer cared about the couple. She grabbed Zhou Yang's arm and dragged him to the corner of the corridor. She lowered her voice and asked, "You're following me?!"
Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows and grabbed her wrist with his backhand: "What about you? A veteran relationship blogger, you came to the hotel to work as a waiter to experience life?"
"What do you care?"
Zhou Yang said nothing, thinking:
"I can't control it now. I'm just curious, who will you invite to the hot springs with the coupons I gave you?"
(It turned out that Zhou Yang's father was the chairman of this resort hotel. Su Wanqing had received the coupon from a waiter when she was visiting the clothing store she often visited, and Zhou Yang had given it to her as a lucky customer. The purpose was to see who Su Wanqing would bring to the hot springs and to see if she had a new boyfriend.)
The conversation between the two was full of tension and unresolved past.
In the room, Lin Muci pretended to pack his luggage, but his ears were perked up, listening to the noise outside.
[When did they meet? Why do they seem to have such a big relationship?]
[Could it be that they were dating behind my back in college, and I had no idea?!?!]
[No wonder Zhou Yang kept buying me breakfast and milk tea for a while, acting like he was courting me. I had already figured out how to reject him, but he just asked me what my cousin liked.]
[Yes, that’s it. I solved the case. I really am a little Sherlock Holmes!]
Just when Lin Muci was distracted by his cousin's emotional entanglement, Gu Chaoyu walked to his side and gently closed the door of the suite, blocking out all the sounds outside.
He handed a cup of warm water to Lin Muci and said with a smile:
"Let others deal with their own problems. We are here to relax."
With just one sentence, Lin Muci was pulled back to this private space that belonged only to the two of them.
"Change your clothes first and prepare to take a hot spring bath."
Lin Muci took the cup of water, nodded, and went into the bathroom with his bathrobe.
A few minutes later, Lin Muci came out, dressed in a yukata. His cheeks were flushed, and even his neck was lightly powdered. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Gu Chaoyu.
Gu Chaoyu had already been waiting by the private hot spring on the terrace.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the bamboo forest, dappling onto his body. He was wearing the same yukata, with the collar slightly open, revealing his muscular chest and collarbone.
Perhaps because he heard Lin Muci's arrival or for some other reason, Gu Chaoyu took off his bathrobe, leaving his broad shoulders and smooth back muscle lines faintly visible in the hazy mist.
Lin Muci stopped and stared in amazement.
[What a picture of a handsome man bathing! ]
The atmosphere was extremely ambiguous.
Just as Gu Chaoyu extended his hand to him, and the two were about to enter the water together—
"thump--!"
There was a loud sound of falling into the water nearby, as if someone had fallen into the water without paying attention.
Immediately afterwards, there was Su Wanqing's scream and Zhou Yang's panicked voice!
"Su Wanqing!"
It turned out that after Su Wanqing and Zhou Yang had a quarrel, she became more and more angry. She ran to the bar alone to drink. After getting a little drunk, she slipped and fell straight into the hotel's landscape fountain!
Zhou Yang was startled and jumped in to pick her up without thinking. Su Wanqing was still drunk and hugged him, crying and cursing, "Zhou Yang, you bastard! You're just a mama's boy! You have no sense of responsibility! If you had..."
Before she could finish her words, she tilted her head and fell asleep.
Lin Muci was startled by the sudden movement, and his first reaction was -
[Something happened to my cousin! I have to go check it out!]
Gu Chaoyu thought to himself that today's "world of two people" would be much more lively than expected.
