Contest
It's so oily, the kind of oiliness that can't be washed off even after the hot spring water is drained.
Shen Zhou looked embarrassed and forcefully pulled his hand back. "If you're not feeling well, go see a doctor. I don't know how to treat illnesses." He then turned to leave. Zhao Xin grabbed him and leaned against him. "Oh dear, I really feel a little dizzy."
Zhou Jingxing's reaction speed was impressive; he quickly rushed forward and squeezed between the two to intercept Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin: ...
Sun Qian: ...
Zhang Jin: ...
Sunken Boat: Whew~ That was close!
Zhou Jingxing: I've run into a jerk! My hands are dirty!
Zhou Jingxing, with a stern face, helped Zhao Xin to his feet. "If you're not feeling well, let's get ashore." He muttered under his breath, "You've only been here a short time and you're already feeling dizzy."
Zhao Xin's face darkened slightly as he brushed Zhou Jingxing's hand away. "I'm fine, I'm just not used to the water temperature yet."
"Then you should go upstairs and rest for a while." After saying this to Zhao Xin, Shen Zhou turned to Sun Qian, "Qianqian, do you need me to take some pictures for you? I brought my camera."
Sun Qian immediately switched from spectator mode to video mode, "Okay, okay! Do you think it's okay for me to lean against the edge of this hot spring pool? Do I need to show my arms?"
Zhou, Zhang, and Zhao watched the two of them taking photos intimately and lively, each of them feeling jealous.
Zhang Jin was the first to resist. If he couldn't beat them, he'd join in. He went over and joined the photo shoot team as a model—his photography skills were so bad that Sun Qian had forbidden him from touching the camera.
The pool Zhang Yang had reserved for them was deep in the woods, surrounded by tall trees. The afternoon sun dappled the surface of the pool, making it look like scattered gold. Zhang Jin and Sun Qian sat side by side by the pool. Zhang Jin said something, and Sun Qian turned to smile at him. Chen Zhou pressed the shutter, capturing this heartwarming moment.
Shen Zhou put down his camera, not wanting to disturb the couple. He stepped out of the hot spring, put on a towel, and headed to the bar for some juice. Zhou Jingxing and Zhao Xin, who were sitting at opposite ends of the hot spring pool, saw Shen Zhou leave and simultaneously got up and followed him.
Chen Zhou turned around, startled by the two people who had suddenly followed him. "What's wrong?"
Zhao Xin smiled and said, "I felt a little dizzy from soaking, so I came out for some fresh air. Where are you going?"
Chen Zhou turned back and continued walking towards the bar, saying, "Go get some juice."
Zhou Jing walked to his left, "I'll go with you." Zhao Xin, not to be outdone, walked to Chen Zhou's right, "I also want some water, let's go together."
The journey from the hot spring pool to the water bar was quite long, and Chen Zhou got a headache from the two arguing all the way.
Zhao Xin said Zhang Yang has been doing well lately, feeling carefree and even a little plump, haha. Zhou Jingxing replied that "carefree and plump" refers to a cheerful and optimistic mindset, which naturally leads to physical comfort, not to physical weight gain.
Zhou Jingxing remarked that Zhang Jin and Sun Qian had a wonderful relationship after so many years together. Zhao Xin then sarcastically remarked that a relationship without any third party involved is naturally good.
Zhao Xin said, "Shen Zhou, the health tea you bought me on your last business trip is almost finished. How about we go and buy more next time?" Zhou Jingxing replied, "Of course we should buy more and drink more. If we drink it all, what will happen if we don't?"
Zhao Xin's temple throbbed. "Zhou Jingxing, what do you mean? What's going on here?!"
Zhou Jingxing smiled and spoke gently, but his words were laced with cunning: "Ah, did I say something wrong? What I meant was that you pay a lot of attention to health, unlike me, who isn't thinking about these things for the time being."
This is a sarcastic jab at me, isn't it? Yes, isn't it!
Zhao Xin was so angry he was about to jump up and down. Chen Zhou finally couldn't take it anymore and stopped to ask the two of them, "Are you two going to the water bar for a drink?"
"Yes."
"You guys go ahead, I'm going swimming. Goodbye." After saying that, Chen Zhou turned and walked towards the swimming pool.
Zhao Xin glared at Zhou Jingxing resentfully, then quickly chased after him, "I'm suddenly not thirsty anymore, and I want to swim too, Chenzhou, wait for me!"
Zhou Jingxing touched his nose. Was it too noisy and that's why his wife was angry? He followed after her, still standing on either side of Chen Zhou like Zhao Xin's bodyguards. The three of them maintained a "川" (river) formation as they walked towards the swimming pool.
Shen Zhou's original intention was to avoid the two noisy people; he had no intention of going swimming and hadn't even brought his swimming cap and goggles. However, the two had already diligently bought the equipment and almost got into a fight over who should pay.
Watching the two engage in their passionate battle, the cashier secretly wiped away a bead of sweat. "Haha, you two have such a good relationship. But that gentleman has already paid."
Shen Zhou didn't even glance at the two men. He put on his swimming cap and goggles and walked straight towards the pool.
Zhou and Zhao exchanged a glance, both revealing expressions of utter disgust. Zhao Xin grabbed his swimming cap, putting it on while asking Zhou Jingxing, "What do you mean? Are you trying to embarrass me in front of my darling?"
After Shen Zhou left, Zhou Jingxing stopped pretending and said, "Wasn't it you who started by opposing me at every turn?"
Zhao Xin put on his swimming goggles again. "Let's have a race, 100 meters, and see who gets to the finish line first. The loser should behave himself and not bother Chenzhou anymore."
Zhou Jingxing dressed himself and readily agreed, "Okay."
The two men strode aggressively toward the pool, creating an atmosphere of tension reminiscent of the ebb and flow before the Olympic finals in just a short corridor.
Zhou and Zhao walked to the pool, where Chen Zhou had just finished warming up and was preparing to enter the water. Zhou Jingxing was still thinking about the plan Sun Qian had made for him. This time, he had to avenge his previous defeat and show Chen Zhou the prowess of the Little White Dragon in the Waves! He stopped Chen Zhou, "Could you help me be a judge? Zhao Xin and I are going to have a 100-meter race."
Shen Zhou glanced at them in surprise, then found the resolute expressions on their faces a bit funny. It wasn't like they were fighting a desperate battle to win glory for the country, so why were they being so serious?
Shen Zhou watched as the two of them squatted on the take-off platform, and shouted "Ready!" The two of them actually looked quite professional in their ready stance. "Go!"
"Whoosh!"
After entering the water, Zhou Jingxing began to dub his own voice.
You are now watching the men's 100-meter freestyle final. The race for love in the 100 meters has begun, and Zhou Jingxing, the champion in reserve, is in lane two.
The race begins, and Zhou Jingxing's reaction time is 0.72 seconds, currently the fastest among all swimmers. Zhou Jingxing has a good start, maintaining his lead for the first 50 meters. His strength actually lies in his later stages. Zhou Jingxing swam exceptionally well in the early stages today. He turned first at the edge, accelerated, and maintained his lead, finishing with a half-body length ahead of his opponents in the final 25 meters. Well done, Zhou Jingxing! He's still in the lead, 5 meters to go! Keep it up, Zhou Jingxing! Zhou Jingxing! Zhou Jingxing! Ah! Ah! Ah!
(Excited) Zhou Jingxing was the first to reach the finish line! He won! He won! Let's congratulate Zhou Jingxing! A true hero, a dragon in the waves! Well deserved!
Zhou Jingxing pushed up his swimming goggles and looked at Zhao Xin smugly. Water droplets flowed down his cheeks, over his collarbone, across his muscular chest, over his firm abs, and then fell into the water. His face seemed to glow in the refracted light of the water, shimmering brilliantly.
Zhao Xin had two little devils in his head. The lustful little devil was itching to take a bite, while the rational little devil was very alert, watching out for this male mistress!
Zhou Jingxing looked at Chen Zhou with a beaming smile, like a proud dog seeking praise, "I won."
His smile was so dazzling that Chen Zhou couldn't help but laugh along. "Yes, you won. You swam well, actually beating Zhao Xin, who used to be the amateur swimming champion."
Zhou Jingxing pushed off with his long arms and easily jumped ashore, looking almost childlike. The two little figures in Zhao Xin's mind started fighting again, but the lecherous one quickly lost.
Zhou Jingxing glanced back at Zhao Xin, then turned to Shen Zhou with a smile and said, "It was alright. I wasn't feeling well today, so I just swam a little."
What are you pretending for?!
Zhao Xin got ashore, his face looking extremely grim.
Zhou Jingxing knew when to stop and stopped provoking Zhao Xin in front of Shen Zhou. He just stayed with Shen Zhou and sat on the armchair with him to talk.
Zhao Xin sat listening for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask Zhou Jingxing with a dark face, "Don't you think you're too close to Chen Zhou?"
Zhou Jingxing blinked and looked at Zhao Xin somewhat helplessly. "Chen Zhou is my good buddy. We're very close. Don't misunderstand. We're just like this all the time." He then turned to Chen Zhou, his face showing three parts grievance, three parts disappointment, four parts dissatisfaction, and ninety parts teasing. "Chen Zhou, Zhao Xin can really get angry. You've really dated a prodigal son."
Get lost, you green tea b*tch!!!
Zhao Xin was seething with anger but dared not vent it in front of Shen Zhou; he was practically bursting with pent-up frustration. Shen Zhou, on the other hand, found it amusing. He didn't even want to explain the breakup to Zhou Jingxing anymore; he wanted to see what other tricks the silly little dog would pull.
That evening, the five of them went to a popular restaurant nearby for dinner. Before eating, Chen Zhou helped Sun Qian take pictures in front of the rose wall at the entrance. Zhang Jin glanced at Zhao Xin, who was on the phone outside, and, feeling that it was a safe place to talk, nudged Zhou Jingxing. "Where did you three go this afternoon? Zhao Xin looked so grim when you came back. What, did you get into a fight with Zhao Xin?"
Zhou Jingxing smiled, "We went swimming. I had a race with Zhao Xin and I beat him. As agreed, he can't bother Chen Zhou anymore."
Zhang Jinke wasn't so optimistic. "Is it that easy? They're a couple. How could Zhao Xin break up with Shen Zhou just because of a bet?"
Zhou Jingxing frowned. "But I won."
"You're so naive. Just wait and see, I don't think Zhao Xin is someone who's so easy to deal with."
As it turned out, Zhao Xin was exactly as Zhang Jin had said. No, he was utterly shameless and extremely difficult to deal with!
Throughout the meal, he showed meticulous care for Shen Zhou and genuine, friendly enthusiasm for Zhou Jingxing.
What kind of tactic is this?!
If Zhao Xin launches a direct attack, Zhou Jingxing will naturally counter it accordingly. But how should he deal with this appeasement tactic?
Teacher Sun Qian taught me!
Sun Qian shook her head at Zhou Jingxing. She sent a message in the three-person group chat, and Zhou Jingxing immediately looked down to read it.
Sun Qian: Let's wait and see.
Zhou Jingxing: I can't stay still for a moment. I get annoyed just seeing him bothering my wife.
Zhou Jingxing: [Angry][Angry][Angry]
After finally managing to eat, the group returned to their hotel rooms to rest. Zhou Jingxing hesitated, wondering whether to invite Chen Zhou to the rooftop to look at the stars and chat about life and romance.
Will he be rejected? After all, his girlfriend lives next door; it's like they're having an affair. Hmm, it's kind of exciting!
Before he could figure out how to phrase it, he received a message from Zhao Xin.
Kidney deficiency scumbag: Open the door, I have something to say to you. [Smiling face]
