After Cheng Qicai finished showering, she heard someone knocking on her door.
Upon opening it, I found it was Yun Su Ni.
"Sis, what brings you here?"
"Seven Colors, we have a private hot spring in our room, would you like to come?"
Cheng Qicai was somewhat tempted, but then she remembered that there was also the male lead, and it wouldn't be right for her to disturb the male and female leads' chance to be alone together.
So she politely declined, saying, "I won't go, you and Brother Lu can go to the bar!"
“Lu Qi doesn’t go on dates; he has work to do. I’m all alone.”
Upon hearing Yun Su Ni's words, Cheng Qi Cai nodded in agreement.
Cheng Qicai was initially worried that it would be awkward to run into Lu Qi when she entered the house, but after arriving there she realized that she had been worrying too much.
The suites people live in have so many rooms that you can't possibly bump into them. Even if you were playing hide-and-seek, it would take you a long time to find them.
“Lu Qi is working in the study, it’s fine,” Yun Suni reassured her. “I’m going to change my clothes, you can go in and soak first.”
The hot spring is outdoors. Cheng Qicai pushed open the glass door and stepped onto the cobblestone path. Lush green plants surrounded the pool, and red roses floated on the milky white water. Fruit platters and red wine were placed around the edge of the pool.
It's no wonder he's rich. He spent the whole day having fun, ignoring the luxurious services, and still had the energy to handle official business. With that kind of perseverance, the male lead deserves to be rich.
Cheng Qicai stepped into the hot spring, the comfortably warm water enveloping her entire body, and she squinted her eyes in comfort.
A short while later, Yun Suni arrived, having changed her clothes.
The light pink chiffon jumpsuit, paired with her fair skin, made her look like a freshly harvested peach on a shelf.
He was wearing a large T-shirt and shorts with a cartoon pixel print, which looked a bit sloppy.
Cheng Qicai's eyes lit up when she saw the female lead. She really wanted to hug her tightly and give her a good squeeze.
Okay, that's a bit perverted.
Is the male lead even a man? How can he resist coming? Cheng Qicai thought angrily.
Yun Su Ni was completely unaware of Cheng Qi Cai's thoughts and fearlessly stepped into the pool.
Cheng Qicai put aside her somewhat infatuated thoughts, opened her arms, and leaned back against the edge of the pool. Today, she was going to enjoy being treated like the male lead.
During a casual chat, Cheng Qicai asked, "Sis, why did you go hiking with Brother Gu?"
Yun Suni honestly replied, "I've recently encountered a bottleneck in development, and Liji also said that he's not in a good mood lately. He also suggested that since you've been having some work troubles lately, why don't we get together and go out to relax?"
Cheng Qicai thought to herself that she didn't have any worries; it was more like he was the one with worries.
Cheng Qicai didn't expose Gu Liji's lie, but pressed him further: "Is there a problem in your relationship?"
Cheng Qicai doubted she had misheard. With his rate of changing girlfriends, how could there be time for problems to arise?
Yun Suni believed it, "Yes, he said the girl he liked recently rejected him."
? ? ?
"A man's little trick," Cheng Qicai muttered to herself.
Yun Suni didn't hear clearly, "What?"
"It's nothing," Cheng Qicai changed the subject, "but it seems like Brother Gu had a lot of girlfriends before!"
Yun Su Ni pursed her lips and whispered to Cheng Qi Cai, "Li Ji said he was afraid that President Gu would think he wanted to compete for control of the company. He didn't have that intention anyway, so it's better to act in a way that puts President Gu at ease."
No wonder the male lead is so wary of the male supporting character. With a personality like that, he believes everything he's told and gets easily fooled. The male lead has nowhere to cry.
"Heh, really? He's really thoughtful." Cheng Qicai gave a forced smile. "So, what do you think of Brother Gu?"
"What do you mean, 'how is he'?" Yun Suni asked, confused. "He's a really nice person, we're all friends."
Gu Liji was delighted to receive a friend card.
"So you've already made up with Brother Lu?"
Yun Su Ni nodded, her face flushed.
The stench of romance was practically smearing her face. She wiped her face in frustration, lamenting, "Why don't I ever have a sweet romance?!"
Cheng Qicai soaked in the hot spring and felt much of the fatigue from climbing the mountain today disappear, and her body felt relaxed.
Seeing that it was almost time, she said goodbye and went home.
I felt relaxed, both physically and mentally. It was a bit of a pity that I didn't get to stay in a tent to see the stars, but after a day of hiking, lying comfortably on a soft bed was still pretty good.
In a daze, she couldn't help but recall her previous life, when she left the orphanage at the age of eighteen and went out to work alone.
I stumbled and struggled to find a job, and when I was starving, I survived on steamed buns and water.
Although she understood that this was a fictional world, she felt that her current life was more real than her previous life, which seemed like a dream and was far away from her.
When she doesn't see the male and female protagonists, she subconsciously ignores the fact that this is a novel world. More than 20 years of life experience also make it difficult for her to tell herself that this is virtual.
In the past, she would also feel lost about her current life on nights, and her mind would wander to all sorts of random thoughts.
Will wanting to awaken my own consciousness cause changes to the plot or something?
But gradually, she came to terms with it. What did the plot change have to do with her?
In the time-travel dramas and novels I've watched in the past, the more you try to change your fate, the more likely you are to fall into a worse ending.
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
As she pondered these thoughts, Cheng Qicai drifted into a deep sleep.
On the other side, Gu Liji and Gu Rongqi were also in the hot spring pool.
Gu Liji never expected that his two days of planning would be disrupted by that damned Lu Qi, who even called his brother over.
He even deliberately knocked his tent away, causing him to get nothing.
He looked at Gu Rongqi hesitantly, "Brother, why did you agree to come with Lu Qi?"
Gu Rongqi glanced at him, casually picked up a teacup from the pool and took a sip. "He called me and I came. Yun Su Ni is his girlfriend. You should know when to stop."
