An hour later.
At the hotel front desk, only an unknown creature wrapped tightly behind Mr. Ji was seen, and the two walked together.
front desk:?
She wanted to call the police. In the hot summer, someone wrapped so tightly up could not be a terrorist?
“…I’m really dying of heat!”
Does the voice sound familiar?
A beautiful face emerged in my memory.
But isn't that young lady married? Has Mr. Ji become abnormal because he's been single for too long?
The receptionist was openly looking at the computer, but in fact she was quietly listening behind the computer.
"I've turned on the air conditioner, but it's still hot enough."
The man's voice was filled with a smile. "Besides, it's not good to be stuck in an air-conditioned room every day. Sweating a little is good for your health."
"...Are you old enough to need to take such good care of your health?" Jiang Jiang sighed. "Even when my grandparents were alive, they weren't as talkative as you."
Ji Ling paused.
She didn't notice and continued walking forward with her head down, her nose almost bumping into his broad back: "Why did you stop suddenly?"
She leaned forward and asked, "Is there anything in front?"
Ji Ling pursed his lips and looked down at her, his meaning unclear: "Do you dislike my age?"
“......?”
Jiang Jiang: "...We seem to be the same age, have you forgotten?"
Oh yes.
Ji Ling coughed lightly, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red.
Of course he remembered that they were of the same age, but he was just provoked by her word "grandparents" and inexplicably thought of the comments in the circle - saying that when he and Xia Lan stood together, he always looked more mature and stable.
Naturally, he didn't take it seriously before, and even thought it was as it should be. If he wasn't as mature and steady as Xia Lan, the Ji family would have fallen into his hands sooner or later.
Thinking about it now, it feels strangely harsh, as if he and she do not belong to the same kind of people.
But he didn't want to say this.
"Let's go." He calmly changed the subject and reached out to straighten the collar of her oversized coat. "The hot spring pool is behind the maple forest. It's the perfect time to see fireflies this season."
Jiang Jiang's eyes lit up, and he instantly forgot about the previous conversation: "Really? I haven't seen fireflies in a long time!"
She looked so excited that she jumped like a deer in the woods. Ji Ling couldn't help but stretch out his hand to rub the top of her head, but he stopped in mid-air - his fingertips still retained the warmth from touching her collar just now, which made his heart tremble.
It was his clothes, stained with his scent.
Just now, he was not satisfied with her so-called coats, which did not cover her figure. He always felt that they would attract the attention of other people, so he took his coat and put it on her.
However, after doing it, Ji Ling felt that it was unnecessary. Her beautiful face meant that even if she wore a sack, she would be the most conspicuous sack in the crowd.
But she was so cute when she was struggling that Ji Ling wanted to tease her and let her put it on.
"Ji Ling?" Jiang Jiang tilted her head in confusion, her hair sliding down her shoulders with the movement.
The man suddenly turned and strode forward: "It will be dark if you delay any longer."
Jiang Jiang jogged after him and didn't notice his tense jawline.
"What? It's only morning now. How can it get dark so quickly?"
The maple leaves rustled, and Ji Ling silently chanted the Heart Cleansing Mantra in his heart, but he could not get rid of the faint orange fragrance lingering around his nose.

At the same time, Xia Lan was told by the front desk that the hot spring in the back mountain was not open to the public.
Xia Lan:?
He emphasized: "I am your boss's friend, do you know?"
Receptionist: “...Zhiyou.” Aren’t you the husband of Miss Jiang who just left with your friend?
She looked down at yesterday's registration information and felt that the hair color of the boss's friend in front of her was a little too bright.
But he deserved it.
When she saw the young couple yesterday, she heard the man embarrass Miss Jiang in public and kept threatening her with her family.
"Zhiyu, why don't you open it for me?"
front desk:"......"
Front desk clerk: "Boss Ji has ordered that no one is allowed to enter. Construction is underway and it might disrupt our guests."
Xia Guike Lan was slightly comforted by these words.
"Hey, isn't this Xia Lan? You're up so early, do you want to go play with me?"
Su Peng's voice came from behind him, and a hand rested on his shoulder.
Looking at the girl beside him who was smiling ambiguously, Xia Lan knew what he meant by "playing around".
