For Ling Qingyun's full-time chef, simply preparing the hot pot ingredients and making a delicious hot pot broth would be a waste of his talents.
This delicious hot pot meal, rich in ingredients, left the Tong family of three, along with Yanbo, sweating profusely.
The four chatted as they ate. Later, Zhang Chengzhi, who had finished his work, joined in. What usually takes only ten or twenty minutes to finish lunch took nearly two hours.
After finishing their hotpot, Mr. and Mrs. Tong and Zhang Chengzhi went for a walk to digest their food, while Yanbo and Tong Xiaohuai took their swimsuits and other supplies and went swimming in the resort's warm water pool.
Previously, Tong Xiaohuai only regarded Yan Bo as a Confucian businessman, but after getting to know him better, Tong Xiaohuai no longer dares to underestimate Yan Bo.
The two parted ways in front of the changing room. Yan Bo changed into his swim trunks and wrapped a towel around his waist before coming out. Soon after, Tong Xiaohuai, wearing a bathrobe and a towel, also came out of the women's changing room.
Although the bath towel was large, it was only enough to cover her upper body, and her two long and straight legs were exposed under the towel, which was very eye-catching.
Yan Bo considered himself to be a gentleman before meeting Tong Xiaohuai. Even when a beautiful woman was in front of him, he would never have any improper thoughts about her.
But Tong Xiaohuai was different. From the moment he first saw her, all his primal senses were awakened by her sexiness.
Undeniably, what initially attracted him to her was her appearance.
Because of her, Yanbo realized that he was just like millions of ordinary men, an ordinary man controlled by his senses.
And he was also very fortunate that his senses and intuition did not deceive him, because as he got to know her better, he found that his liking for her was no longer limited to her superficial appearance, but rather that he was firmly attracted to her from the inside out. He was deeply in love with her, hopelessly.
"What are you looking at?" Tong Xiaohuai glared at Yan Bo.
In fact, she had been receiving direct stares from the opposite sex since she was twelve or thirteen years old.
However, Yan Bo had always been seen as a gentleman in her mind, so Tong Xiaohuai was somewhat surprised when she saw his gaze seemingly glued to her legs.
Yan Bo was very straightforward, "It's up to you!"
After confirming their relationship, Yanbo was often captivated by her.
A man's instincts made him want her more and more, even wanting every inch of her, inside and out, to belong exclusively to him.
But reason tells him that, at this stage, he and she can only maintain a platonic relationship.
It wasn't that he was particularly noble or detached from worldly desires; rather, it was a form of respect and protection for her.
Tong Xiaohuai felt embarrassed, but unwilling to appear too naive in front of him, she glared at him fiercely and muttered, "You pervert!"
Yan Bo reached out and took her hand. "How did I become a hooligan? I'm looking at my own girlfriend, how am I a hooligan? For example, I welcome you to look at and understand my girlfriend anytime."
Yan Bo brought up their relationship, and Tong Xiaohuai was naturally in the wrong. Since she couldn't argue with him either, she could only widen her eyes and scan him up and down.
Since he said she was welcome to watch anytime, she figured she might as well watch.
Upon seeing him, she had to admit that Yan Bo not only possessed a star-like face that could captivate countless young girls, but also a model-like physique that would make any man in the world envious.
With an eye-catching eight-pack abs, long and straight legs, broad shoulders and narrow hips, he is the epitome of looking slim in clothes and muscular when undressed.
Yan Bo felt her gaze linger on him for a few moments, then deliberately struck a pose to flex his muscles and asked smugly, "How about it? Isn't your boyfriend amazing?"
Tong Xiaohuai met his gaze silently for a few seconds, then asked, "What are you referring to? The body?"
Yan Bo curled his lips into a smile. "Let's talk about the physical aspects. How many points would you give it?"
Having grown up surrounded by men, Tong Xiaohuai had heard many crude jokes from the rough and unrefined men of Tongjia Village, but she never told them.
Forced into this situation by Yan Bo, unwilling to be looked down upon or compared to others, she suppressed the surging shame in her heart and pretended to calmly sized him up and assessed him again.
"Hmm... I'll give it a barely passing sixty."
Yan Bo was mentally prepared for her score, so he didn't seem sad. He took her hand and walked out of the changing area into the swimming pool.
He led her to a less crowded corner, his gaze sweeping across the room. "Then take a look at all these men here. Find the highest and lowest ratings and see what they are?"
Tong Xiaohuai was stunned for a moment, "They say there's no harm without comparison, Yanbo, why are you doing this?"
Yan Bo laughed and said, "It's alright, I have a very high tolerance for pain, so bring it on."
Tong Xiaohuai then carefully examined all ten or so men at the swimming pool, and then had to give the truthful answer.
"Okay, among these men, the highest score is thirty and the lowest is ten."
Without Yan Bo as a comparison, these men, who are not bad-looking, would probably be worth 70 to 80 points. But when placed next to Yan Bo, who is almost perfect from every angle, they seem to have no special features and are not worth looking at at all.
Feeling the envious and jealous gazes from the women around her, Tong Xiaohuai secretly felt smug.
The man beside her, who could quickly attract a lot of attention wherever he went, was Tong Xiaohuai's boyfriend.
In fact, not only could Tong Xiaohuai feel the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of the women around her, but Yan Bo could too.
Just as Tong Xiaohuai has a boyfriend who outshines all the men around him, he also has a girlfriend who is equally stunning in both looks and figure, surpassing all the women present.
However, his smugness didn't last long, and he no longer cared about his score.
What he cared about now was the way those men were looking at him. That overly blatant gaze was driving him crazy.
He pulled Tong Xiaohuai into his arms to show his ownership. Only after they both got into the pool did he whisper in her ear.
"Next time I want to swim, let's go to your private pool!"
Tong Xiaohuai didn't react for a moment. "Huh? Why? My swimming pool doesn't have warm water."
Why would Yan Bo care about whether the water was lukewarm or not? He only cared about whether those annoying men, like flies, were around.
"Warm water isn't important to you or me, is it?"
Tong Xiaohuai did not investigate further, because at this moment, she had already spread her arms and started splashing the water.
"Whatever. Anyway, I'm the only one who swims in my pool at home. It would be nice if you could come and keep me company sometime."
