Chapter 49: A trip to Shidu Hot Springs, Zhu Xiaopeng’s request (3.3K, please read later)
Under the night sky, the Xucheng Bus Station is still bustling with people coming and going.
"Chen Yansen, I'm here!"
Mengjie was standing in the crowd with her schoolbag on her back, waving and shouting at Chen Yansen who was not far away.
In order to meet the meeting, she put on light makeup, wore an indigo long skirt and a short jacket. She had a bright smile and her eyes were full of joy, like a person who had been thirsty for a long time and suddenly saw an oasis.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the first time the cute squad leader wears a skirt? We have to commemorate this! Come, look at the camera and smile."
Chen Yansen smiled slightly, took out his cell phone, put his arm around Mengjie's shoulders and said.
"Isn't it nice? It's not all for you. I, the class monitor, have signed up for a performance at the Business School's welcome party next week."
Mengjie smiled and said something hypocritical.
Ever since she saw Chen Yansen, the smile on her lips has never disappeared. However, after only four or five days of separation, she couldn't stay at home anymore. All she could think about was Chen Yansen's appearance.
"Then I must go and have a look."
Chen Yansen held her little hand and clenched it tightly in his palm. Mengjie, a girl who has never been in love, is very easy to control. A slightly intimate gesture can make her heart beat faster for a long time.
He hailed a taxi on the roadside, got in the car, and said to the driver, "Go to Shidu Hot Spring Hotel."
Meng Jie on the side didn't pay any attention at all.
The driver grinned, thinking that it was a big order and the journey was more than 60 kilometers, so 100 yuan would not be too much.
Ten minutes passed.
Meng Jie saw that the street view outside the window was becoming more and more unfamiliar, so she frowned and asked, "Master, did you go the wrong way?"
"You're not going the wrong way! Aren't you going to the Shidu Hot Spring Hotel?"
The driver was stunned for a moment, looked at the road sign, and only answered after confirming that there was no mistake.
"I've been so tired lately, and I've been wanting to take a couple of days off. There just so happens to be a new hot spring hotel opening in Shidu next door, so I wanted to take you there to relax."
Chen Yansen pinched her soft little hand and explained seriously.
Hot spring hotel? Let's relax together?
Meng Jie's cheeks flushed, and she said softly, "My dad is right, you are a bad boy, always trying to take advantage of me."
"So, let the driver turn around and go back to school now?"
Chen Yansen teased her with a smile.
"Okay, I brought some packaged beef soup in my bag. Let's go back to 0418 and I'll cook it for you?"
Meng Jie knew clearly that going to the hotel with Chen Yansen would most likely be like walking into a tiger's mouth. She did like Chen Yansen, but she didn't want their relationship to develop too quickly. At least for now, she was not mentally prepared.
"It's okay, the hotel has a public kitchen, and we can cook beef soup there." Chen Yansen patted her on the shoulder, signaling her not to worry.
Am I worried about this? Meng Jie was both angry and amused, she glanced at Chen Yansen with resentment, thinking: I am afraid that you will do something bad!
But then she stopped objecting, as if she had forgotten about it. Her eyes moved as she listened quietly to the beating of her own heart.
The one and a half hour drive passed in a flash.
Chen Yansen took her to check in. The room was designed in a LOFT style. On the first floor were the bathroom, tatami lounge area and a three-meter square pool. On the second floor were two single beds and a desk.
"I'll go fill the water first. It'll take about half an hour to fill it up."
Chen Yansen threw his cell phone and door card to the ground, and started to unbutton his shirt.
"Please don't take off your clothes, I'm scared!" Meng Jie lowered her eyes and asked timidly.
The tone of her voice was completely different from her usual personality.
After hearing this, Chen Yansen stopped what he was doing and looked at Meng Jie seriously. He saw that her chin was trembling slightly and a drop of crystal water was hanging on her eyelashes. She was obviously extremely nervous.
"Then I'll go to the bathroom and change clothes." Chen Yansen said suddenly.
Meng Jie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Along the way, she was worried that Chen Yansen would act recklessly, and she was also worried that rejecting Chen Yansen would make him unhappy.
Not long after, Chen Yansen finished showering and came out wrapped in a bath towel.
At this time, the water in the hot spring pool was almost half full. He put the pillow behind his head and lay down comfortably.
"Go take a shower. After soaking in the hot spring, I'll take you out for dinner." Chen Yansen closed his eyes, looking very happy, and said casually to Mengjie.
"Well, I'm warning you first, don't mess around!" Meng Jie warned in a low voice, but she didn't have the confidence.
"Yes, yes, yes! I know, go ahead." Chen Yansen waved his hand, a little perfunctorily.
Mengjie hesitated for a while, but still picked up her schoolbag and went into the bathroom.
After she finished her shower and wrapped herself in a bath towel, she looked out quietly and found that Chen Yansen seemed to have fallen asleep.
His breathing was steady, his chest rose and fell slightly, his handsome face was covered with tiny drops of water, and his two exposed arms had clear muscle lines.
Chen Yansen usually wears a shirt, and you can't tell that he has a muscular body under his clothes.
Meng Jie stood on tiptoe and walked quietly to the edge of the pool. She poked his muscles curiously, but when she saw that he didn't react, she realized that he must have been really busy when he said he felt a little tired recently.
She imitated Chen Yansen and lay down comfortably, but her eyes were always fixed on Chen Yansen.
The two had been classmates for three years, and in the past they had only discussed math problems together. However, in the two months after graduation, he seemed to have been reborn. His manners, conversation, experience, and ability to make money were far beyond his peers.
In addition, he is funny and humorous and knows how to make people happy. Although her father repeatedly warned her not to fall in love with Chen Yansen, Mengjie still fell in love with him.
"Dad, you don't know him. Chen Yansen is really a very good person."
Mengjie squinted her eyes, feeling the warm spring water flowing on her fair skin, and thought to herself.
After a long time, Chen Yansen suddenly opened his eyes and saw Mengjie lying opposite him, with a pair of slender legs soaking in the water and a wet bath towel tightly attached to her skin. At this moment, even the water waves had a specific shape.
"Change your clothes and I'll take you out for dinner."
Chen Yansen suddenly stood up, threw down a few words, and walked towards the bathroom with his clothes.
Meng Jie turned her head, glanced at him secretly, then said "hmm". After he closed the door, she slowly stood up, wiped the water off her body, and wrapped herself in a clean bath towel again.
She was not tall, and the bath towel could cover her from her shoulders to her calves, so she didn't have to worry about exposing herself.
After they changed their clothes and walked to the green space outside, they found that there were already a dozen young guests here. The chef was busy barbecuing, and the dining table was filled with grilled skewers, crayfish, seafood in sauce, and drinks.
"It's self-service, just take what you want to eat."
Chen Yansen said to Meng Jie.
"You go and grab a seat, I'll get the food." Meng Jie took a quick look and immediately liked the atmosphere, so she instructed Chen Yansen.
Chen Yansen smiled and nodded, then found an empty table and sat down. Next to him sat a young man with a folk guitar on his back. He looked very literary and artistic, and was humming Xu Wei's "Blue Lotus" softly.
After the other party finished singing, Chen Yansen praised: "Man, Yamaha F310, very tasteful."
"Hey, brother, you have a really good eye! Do you want to try the tone of this piano?" The literary young man grinned and asked cheerfully.
"Then I won't be polite with you! Bring your girlfriend out to play, you know." Chen Yansen took the guitar and gave the other person a look.
The literary young man understood what he meant, picked up a bottle of beer, crossed his legs and prepared to watch the fun.
"bite--"
Chen Yansen plucked the strings casually to get a feel for the vibe, and then he played the prelude to "Yesterday Again", and soothing piano sounds instantly rang out.
Although it is an old song that is over 50 years old, it is full of charm when sung by Chen Yansen. His voice is naturally a bit grainy, and as soon as he opens his mouth, the sense of picture and story comes to mind.
Mengjie was holding food when she heard the music. She turned around and saw Chen Yansen playing the guitar. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly walked back.
"You can actually play the guitar? Why didn't you perform on stage during the New Year's Eve party in high school?"
After playing the song, Chen Yansen returned the guitar. Meng Jie tugged at his sleeve and asked curiously.
"I only play it for girls I like." Chen Yansen said it bluntly, but Meng Jie's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Chen Yansen has said this to many girls in similar situations, and the effect is always very good.
"Then why did you pursue Zhou Keyuan in high school? Why didn't you pursue me first?" Meng Jie asked with a frown.
"I was young and ignorant at that time." Chen Yansen evaded the question. He couldn't say that he had not been reborn at that time.
Mengjie felt that this was a bit perfunctory, but she didn't ask any further questions. She was cheerful and straightforward, unlike other little girls who always asked questions.
The two of them were eating grilled skewers and clinking glasses from time to time. When the artistic young man opposite saw this scene, he couldn't help but say that in the future he would also find a handsome girl with short hair who could sing and drink with him.
Brothers during the day, lovers at night.
After eating and drinking, Chen Yansen pulled her to lie on the moon chair and counted the stars in the sky out of boredom.
Listening to Mengjie's chattering, Chen Yansen smiled. Although he was reborn and returned to the age of eighteen, his mentality was no longer young. He no longer had the naivety and immaturity he had at the age of eighteen.
The night wind grew cooler, and the number of people on the grass gradually decreased.
Chen Yansen and Meng Jie also returned to the room. They each sat on a bed, several dozen centimeters apart, and looked at each other quietly.
"Good night, Chen Yansen! Today has left a deep impression on me, thank you." Meng Jie stroked his palm with her fingers and whispered softly.
"Good night!" Chen Yansen replied.
The next day, the two had breakfast at the hotel, and then, under the guidance of the staff, walked to an open space outdoors. The view was full of green grass and white tents on both sides.
The tent was furnished with teapots, dried fruit plates and fresh fruit.
Chen Yansen accompanied Mengjie to drink tea and play cards, occasionally went out to play badminton, and sometimes stayed in the tent to read and listen to music.
Time passed quickly, and half of the day was gone in the blink of an eye. When they returned to Xucheng College, it was already 6:30 in the afternoon on the 5th.
After he sent Mengjie back to the dormitory, he thought for a while and turned around and walked into Dormitory Building No. 8.
"Huh? Brother Sen, you're back?" Hearing the noise, Meng Xibo looked up and asked.
"I didn't go back to my hometown. I've been busy with fox hunting during the holidays. Where's Song Yang? Call him and have dinner together."
Chen Yansen looked around and saw that Tang Zhenzhe, Zhu Xiaopeng and Wang Zhengqiang were all there, but Song Yang was missing.
"Yangyang is still in his hometown in Jinling. He will probably arrive tomorrow afternoon. How about we get together again tomorrow?" Tang Zhenzhe suggested.
"Brother Sen, are you still short of people for that project?"
Zhu Xiaopeng put down his phone, came over with a smile, and asked in a flattering tone.
Today, FoxTao has become very famous and has received the attention and support of the principal. As soon as it went online, it gained hundreds of thousands of users and almost everyone in the entire Xucheng College knew about it.
Another eye-catching news is that Chen Yansen paid his team members a salary of between 2,000 and 5,000 yuan in September, and this was just a part-time job.
You have to know that these days, 90% of college students’ living expenses are less than 1,000 yuan per month.
It was understandable that Zhu Xiaopeng took the initiative to speak.
"Of course we are short of people. What? Are you interested?" Chen Yansen asked without comment.
I want to report to you guys. Yesterday, the new book list reached the 30th place, and the city ranked 8th. Thank you bosses for taking me to the top! But this book is a little short of volume.
