Chapter 28: Test of Tacit Understanding
He was lost in thought when a warm chest suddenly touched his back.
Gu Chaoyu's low, yet smiling voice rang in his ears: "I can't hear you clearly. The walls here are well soundproofed."
The breath was so close, and the warm air sprayed on his earlobe, and the heat that Lin Muci had just receded surged up again.
Gu Chaoyu stopped teasing him, took his hand and led him back to the terrace.
He was the first to step into the water. After all this time, the temperature of the private bath had dropped, making it just right for soaking for a long time.
He extended his hand to Lin Muci again: "Come down, let's soak in the hot spring for a while and relax."
Lin Muci held that hand and walked into the water.
The two sat side by side in the water, their shoulders a short distance apart, but they could feel each other's warmth.
Lin Muci finally relaxed completely. He leaned against the pool wall and asked Gu Chaoyu in a low voice: "Do you think... is there still a chance for them?"
Gu Chaoyu listened to the "80-episode urban emotional TV series about reconciliation" that had begun to play automatically in his mind and replied, "When it comes to relationships, it's like drinking water; only the person who drinks it knows whether it's hot or cold. What's important is whether they themselves want a result."
Time passed quietly, and soon it was dinner time.
Su Wanqing woke up with a severe headache.
When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was an unfamiliar ceiling. She sat up suddenly and was horrified to find herself in an unfamiliar hotel room, wearing a loose bathrobe!
Her memory only stayed on drinking one drink after another at the bar.
[The sky is falling! Where am I? Whose room is this? Where are my clothes?]
She looked around in panic, and then her eyes stopped on the sofa not far away.
Zhou Yang was sleeping there, still wearing the wrinkled suit.
[Zhou Yang?! How could I be with him?!]
[What did I do to him?! No, he slept on the couch... Did he do something to me and feel guilty about it?!]
[It's over! My lifelong reputation! My innocence!]
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
"Zhou Yang, sister, are you all okay? It's time for dinner. Do you want to eat together?"
"Xiao Ci, wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"
After a period of chaos, at the dinner table,
Su Wanqing wore a pair of huge sunglasses and said nothing, but Lin Muci could feel that she was slashing Zhou Yang opposite her with her eyes through the lenses.
Zhou Yang had an expression that said "You owe me eight million" and he was also cutting the sausages on the plate without saying a word.
Lin Muci sat between the two of them, feeling torn. He tried to lighten the mood, saying dryly, "Ha...haha, what a nice day today..."
No one paid any attention to him.
Well, that's very embarrassing...
Only Gu Chaoyu was elegantly cutting the fried eggs on the plate and drinking coffee leisurely.
[Su Wanqing: Bastard! He actually took advantage of me when I was drunk... Even though he slept on the couch, he must have been feeling guilty! I absolutely cannot let him go!]
Zhou Yang: It's fine if you're drunk and scolding me, but who are you showing off to when you're sober? I worked so hard to take care of her all afternoon. Even if I don't get any credit, I've definitely put in some effort!
Lin Muci: What should I do? The atmosphere is so scary. Should I turn into a cat and hide under the table? Are they going to start fighting right here?
[Gu Chaoyu: Well, this scene is much more interesting than my usual consultations.]
Lin Muci: [So scary, so scary, so scary...]
[I can’t finish this meal. How about I just say I have a stomachache and sneak back to my room?]
[No, what will happen to Gu Chaoyu if I leave? It's too pitiful for him to face these two evil spirits alone!]
[But I really can't sit still any longer! I'm afraid I'll catch a cold if I stay any longer!]
After thinking about it, Lin Muci looked towards Gu Chaoyu.
Gu Chaoyu still looked calm and composed. He even took the time to add some juice to Lin Muci's cup.
In this suffocating silence, the lights on the small stage in the center of the restaurant suddenly came on.
A man in a suit and vest appeared in the middle of the stage, holding a microphone and a warm smile on his face.
"Good evening, distinguished guests!"
The manager's voice was carried throughout the restaurant through the speakers, successfully attracting everyone's attention.
"To celebrate the successful partnership between XX Group and our Yunqi Mountain Lodge, and to thank all our guests for visiting us, we've added a fun little activity – the 'Best Partner Combination Test'!"
He paused, deliberately keeping the topic in suspense, and raised his voice. "We welcome all guests to participate! The winning couple will become our Yunqi Mountain Lodge's Super VIPs! They'll enjoy a 20% discount on all future purchases! In addition, they'll receive our hotel's top-notch spa package for two!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the restaurant.
And Su Wanqing was instantly revived with full health.
The previous second, she was wearing sunglasses and acting like the ice queen who said "don't get close to me". The next second, she took off her sunglasses with a "swoosh", her eyes shining. The resentment caused by Zhou Yang was instantly washed away by the burning CP spirit.
What embarrassment, what anger, just get out of my way first. She grabbed Lin Muci's arm, shook it vigorously, and said excitedly: "Brother! Did you hear that! Opportunity! God-given opportunity!"
Lin Muci was dizzy from her shaking: "Ah? What opportunity?"
"A tacit understanding test! Super VIP! Isn't this tailor-made for you and Dr. Gu?" Su Wanqing's CP radar was going wild. "Quick! Let Dr. Gu take you on a whirlwind ride! Win this championship, and you can get a 20% discount on your dates from now on!"
[Oh my god! The official is forcing me to do this!]
[A test of tacit understanding! Is there anything better than this to test true love? ]
[Come on, morning and night! Let these mortals see what soul mates are!]
Lin Muci's head was buzzing with excitement from her words, and his cheeks began to heat up uncontrollably. He and Gu Chaoyu? Participating in a tacit understanding test?
This... this is even more socially disastrous than the "little umbrella" incident just now!
Just when Su Wanqing was about to drag Lin Muci to register herself, Zhou Yang, who had been silent across from her, suddenly sneered.
The laughter was not loud, but it reached Su Wanqing's ears, and she stopped.
Zhou Yang wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, stood up, and walked straight to the registration desk. He took the registration form and pen from the host and wrote something on it quickly.
After finishing writing, he walked back to the table and slammed the registration form in the middle of the table with a "snap".
The action is not big, but it is full of provocation.
Lin Muci and Su Wanqing looked down subconsciously:
