Chapter 73 It’s okay, baby, I’m here!
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Ruan Yunheng received a message from the front desk clerk he had bribed last night saying that Xu Anyu and the others had arrived, so he pulled Xu Nianyi and Xie Yanwen out.
We arrived late last night and checked into the villa directly. It was only then that Xu Nianyi walked out and discovered that the villa was quite beautiful.
The style is consistent with that of the villa garden, with an antique style, surrounded by small bridges, flowing water, rockery pavilions, and corridors, just like the royal gardens of ancient times.
The villa has a special villa area as well as ordinary hotel accommodation.
In front is a scenic recreation area, and in the back mountain is a large hot spring area with all kinds of hot spring pools, both public and private.
The hot spring water comes from the spring in the mountains. Every autumn and winter, many people come here to soak in the hot springs.
Xu Nianyi brought her own camera and habitually filmed everywhere, occasionally turning her head to film Xie Yanwen and Ruan Yunheng who were walking side by side behind her. "Come on, come on, smile."
Xie Yanwen and Ruan Yunheng both had their hands in their pockets at the same moment, walking slowly and leisurely, each with their own lazy look.
Hearing this, one rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't you think it's silly to smile at the camera?"
Even more stupid than taking pictures.
The other could only smile helplessly.
Xu Nianyi just snorted: "If you don't take advantage of your youth and good looks now to leave more life memories, you will regret it when you are old and ugly."
After saying this, she sought approval from Xie Yanwen: "Is that what Ah Wen said?"
Before Xie Yanwen could say anything, Ruan Yunheng snorted coldly, "If you ask him, he'll dare to say it, right? Don't you know how useless he is?"
"Oh, you are promising? If Xu Anyu asked you now, would you say no?"
Xu Nianyi raised an eyebrow and thrust the camera in front of him: "Come on, tell the camera seriously, she wants to take a picture of you, will you let her take a picture? After that, I'll show it to Xu Anyu to see how promising you are."
Ruan Yunheng: “…”
Xie Yanwen beside him tilted his head and chuckled.
Ruan Yunheng coughed, stretched out his index finger, pushed away Xu Nianyi's camera, and smiled slightly: "Come on, take a picture. I'm smiling. Can you take any picture you want?"
After saying that, he made a big "yeah" gesture to the camera.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked around the villa for a while, and it was already 11:30 in the morning.
I did meet some people on the way, but I didn't see Xu Anyu and the others.
Xu Nianyi was already tired. "We can't just wander around like this. Maybe they've gone back to their place to rest. Is your information reliable?"
Ruan Yunheng was also a little uncertain.
The receptionist had previously sent him a message saying that Xu Anyu and her group had just had their luggage sent back to their residence and they had not gone back. Some of them said they wanted to take a walk around the villa first.
But it has been turning for half a circle, where is it going?
Could it be that he went to take a hot spring bath before it was even afternoon?
Ruan Yunheng hesitated for a moment, "How about we go to the hot spring area in the back mountain?"
He was a little worried thinking that the man might have gone to the hot spring.
Xu Nianyi had no objection, "Okay."
But after saying that, he slowly put his arms around Xie Yanwen's neck from behind and said in a naughty way, "But I'm a little tired."
Xie Yanwen bent down reflexively as she hugged his neck, and she had already jumped onto his back very proactively.
Xie Yanwen quickly held her waist with one hand to steady her, then he held her up with both hands, carrying her on his back until she stood up straight.
He tilted his head to look at the person who was already lying on his shoulder, "How about I carry you back to rest?"
Xu Nianyi leaned close to his ear and whispered, "If we leave, Old Ruan will be embarrassed to 'run into' him."
Ruan Yunheng didn't want to see the two of them showing their affection, so he walked forward.
Xie Yanwen glanced at his back and scoffed, "You're so obsessed with pride, no wonder you've been lonely for over a decade."
Xu Nianyi: “…”
You speak as if you are very humble.
You just met me!
Otherwise you will be worse off than him.
Ruan Yunheng at least has a daughter. If Xie Yanwen hadn't met her and kept pestering her, he would have remained a virgin until his death!
But she didn't say this, she just hummed softly and pinched his ear.
Xie Yanwen had already caught up with Ruan Yunheng, carrying her on his back.
We strolled slowly along the corridors and paths, and in about twenty minutes we arrived at the hot spring area on the back mountain. At noon, there were not many people taking a hot spring bath, and the hot spring area was very quiet.
There are many sweet osmanthus flowers planted on the back mountain, and the fragrance is overwhelming. There are sweet osmanthus trees beside public hot spring pools of all sizes. When the wind blows gently, the golden sweet osmanthus petals slowly fall onto the surface of the pool.
Xu Nianyi got off Xie Yanwen's back and walked hand in hand with him along the path beside the hot spring pool. "Shall we come here tonight?"
Xie Yanwen: “…”
He pursed his lips and didn't answer. Xu Nianyi perhaps didn't need his answer. Anyway, she was coming, and he had no choice but to accompany her in the end.
The two of them slowly followed Ruan Yunheng and walked to the private hot spring area.
This place is not open to casual entry. A housekeeper came forward to ask if they had reserved a hot spring. Ruan Yunheng was about to say that they should reserve one now when he heard screams coming from a privately reserved hot spring.
It’s Xu Qi’s voice!
His heartbeat accelerated at that moment, and Ruan Yunheng ran towards the direction of the sound without thinking.
The housekeeper uttered an "eh" and was about to have someone stop him when Xie Yanwen stepped forward and said calmly, "We've reserved all the remaining hot springs here today. Don't let anyone else in."
The housekeeper was stunned.
Where did this boss come from?
After Xie Yanwen finished speaking, he simply glanced at Xu Nianyi and said, "Niannian, come over and take a look."
After all, there were probably only girls in there, and it wouldn't be appropriate for Xie Yanwen to go over there, so he stayed here to solve the problem of the hot spring pool.
Xu Nianyi didn't say much at this time, nodded and went to chase Ruan Yunheng.
The private hot springs cover a large area. There are fifteen hot springs of various sizes in the entire area. It is very secretive, and each hot spring is surrounded by a low wall made of jade.
Once the door is closed, you can't see inside from the outside.
Ruan Yunheng easily found the hot spring where Xu Qi and the others were. After all, after that scream, there were continuous screams.
The door of the hot spring was already open, and someone ran out, probably wanting to call for help. When he bumped into Ruan Yunheng, he was stunned for a moment, and then watched Ruan Yunheng rush in like a gust of wind.
This hot spring pool is very large and can accommodate at least ten people.
At this time, there were four girls standing around the hot spring.
A figure squatted by the pool, curled up in a ball.
She wasn't wearing a swimsuit, but her whole body was soaked, even her hair was dripping with water.
She kept screaming and pulling her hair, "Get out, get out of here—"
The four people standing there had different expressions. Someone was at a loss and advised: "Yu Yu, don't be like this, why don't you go wash up?"
Some people also showed disdain: "It's just hot spring water. Who are you showing off like this to? Isn't it disgusting?"
Someone muttered: "She has mysophobia..."
Some people also sneered: "If you are sick, don't follow me. No one pushed her into the water on purpose. Who made her lose her balance? Who is she pretending to be for?"
Ruan Yunheng rushed in and heard these sounds and saw the girl in the middle trembling and screaming.
His heart sank violently, and his voice suddenly became cold and fierce: "She told you to get out, didn't you hear?"
The people by the pool were stunned and looked over.
Then a young man in a gray windbreaker came over with a cold face and pushed away the person who spoke last.
The girl screamed and almost fell into the hot spring pool. She was pulled by the people next to her and stabilized her body.
Ruan Yunheng had already squatted beside Xu Anyu and raised his hand to touch her.
"ah--"
Xu Anyu screamed and pushed him hard, "Get out!"
"Xu Qi, it's me!"
Perhaps it was because of his voice, or perhaps simply because of the smell on him, Xu Anyu's scream stopped. She looked up stiffly and met Ruan Yunheng's worried eyes.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Xu Anyu bit her lip hard, as if she didn't believe the person in front of her.
It took several seconds before he spoke, "Ruan San?"
I screamed so hard that my voice became hoarse.
Ruan Yunheng said "hmm", "It's me."
He knelt on one knee beside her, put his hands on her shoulders, and tilted his head to look at her carefully.
Her skirt was soaked, her hair was wet and stuck to her scalp and cheeks, her face was all wet and pale, but her eyes were red and bloodshot, and when she looked at him, there was a rare sense of grievance and pity in her eyes.
At least Ruan Yunheng had never seen such an expression on her face in all these years.
His Adam's apple moved slightly, and his voice unconsciously became softer. "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
When he asked this, Xu Anyu's eyes changed again, and the expression on his pale face twisted again.
“I, I…”
Her breathing was short and she looked like she was about to suffocate from lack of oxygen.
Her fingers clutched his jacket tightly, and she asked tremblingly, "Am I dirty?"
She tilted her head stiffly, as if trying to suppress something but unable to, her voice filled with pain, "I feel so dirty."
Ruan Yunheng was frightened by her condition.
He had seen her have an attack many times, but this time seemed the strangest.
He hurriedly comforted her, "No, it's not dirty."
Ruan Yunheng held her face with his hands on her shoulders, and gently wiped away the water or tears on her face with his fingertips. "How is our Xu Qi dirty? She is so beautiful and fragrant. She is not dirty at all. She is very clean and beautiful."
"But they all say so, they all say I'm dirty..."
Xu Anyu's body twitched, and breathing seemed to be getting more and more difficult. "I am just dirty..."
Ruan Yunheng became nervous. He knew very well that he had to try his best to calm her down at this time, so he didn't ask her who had said that about her.
He simply knelt down on both knees and hugged her squatting in his arms in the most convenient position. He didn't dare to use too much force, nor did he dare to relax too much. He patted her back gently and searched his brain for words to comfort her. He coaxed her softly: "It's not dirty, it's really not dirty, Xu Qi, don't listen to those people's nonsense, they are just jealous of you, jealous that you are beautiful and cute."
The other hand fell on the back of her head, gently pressing her wet head and letting her lean on his shoulder, feeling the trembling of the girl in his arms.
He didn't dare to think about what had happened to her, and even regretted why he didn't care when her personality just changed.
Ruan Yunheng closed his eyes, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Believe me, our Xu Qi is the cleanest girl in the world, and also my favorite girl. If anyone dares to say you're dirty in the future, I'll help you beat him up, okay?"
Xu Anyu didn't know whether she heard him or not. She held his windbreaker tightly, buried her head in his shoulder, and didn't answer.
But Ruan Yunheng could feel that the trembling of her body was slowly stopping.
He touched her hair again and gently stroked her back, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid..."
It's okay, baby, I'm here!
He said silently.
