Chapter 144 Birthday
March 11th of the lunar calendar is Lin Qingyu’s birthday. It was a weekday and they had classes to attend, so they only had time to celebrate in the evening. Jiang Xing spent a huge amount of money to book a suite in a hot spring hotel, and arranged everything including candlelight dinner, birthday cake, rotating water/bed, etc.
Jiang Xing originally wanted to skip half a day of class to bring Lin Qingyu to stay with him, but Lin Qingyu insisted on not skipping any classes and would at most skip a few evening self-study sessions with him. So by the time the two of them arrived at the hotel, it had already been dark for a long time.
After getting off the car, Jiang Xing stretched his limbs and asked, "Qingyu, are you tired after driving for so long?"
Lin Qingyu said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you are tired. You should turn 18 soon and get your driver's license, so I won't be tired."
"You can't blame me for this." Jiang Xing said, "Then let's go have dinner first, and then take a hot spring bath?"
Lin Qingyu nodded: "Okay."
The candlelight dinner was exquisite and romantic, but it was not amazing for Lin Qingyu, who was once the queen of a country. Instead, the smile of the male high school student under the candlelight made him happier.
The high school boy also gave him roses - they were not rare varieties, and there was only a small bunch, but each flower was in perfect bloom and clearly had been carefully selected.
"Don't complain about spending too little. I earned this money myself," Jiang Xing said. "It's not the living expenses my dad gave me, nor is it the financial interest my mom left me. I earned this money with my own hard work."
Hard-working hands?
Lin Qingyu asked curiously: "How do you make money?"
Jiang Xing slowly uttered two words: "Apply film."
Lin Qingyu: “…”
"I put on 20 masks under the overpass to get this bunch of roses. My hands are sore." Jiang Xing looked at Lin Qingyu expectantly, "Do you like it, baby?"
Lin Qingyu lowered her eyes and smiled, and said softly: "Baby likes it very much."
The selling point of this hotel is its natural hot springs. The pool water is pure natural hot spring water from deep in the wetlands, known as the "Millennium Holy Hot Spring". Lin Qingyu couldn’t tell whether it was the “holy hot spring” or not, but the hot spring pool was built among the bamboo forests, surrounded by clouds and mist, with few modern facilities, and it had a very Dayu flavor.
I wonder if this is the reason why Jiang Xing chose this hotel.
The two changed into swimming trunks and went downstairs wrapped in bath towels. Jiang Xing's phone suddenly rang. He saw the caller ID and said depressedly, "It's the class teacher."
Lin Qingyu: “…”
Jiang Xing sighed, "She must be here to ask me why I skipped class and why I took the class representative who is both good in character and academic performance with me."
"You go and deal with her," Lin Qingyu said, "I'll wait for you by the hot spring pool."
While Jiang Xing was fighting with the class teacher, Lin Qingyu found the hotel staff and asked, "Can we book the hot spring here?"
The staff member said: "Yes, you can, but there will be an additional fee."
"Don't worry about this little change," Lin Qingyu said, "My husband has plenty of money."
The staff member smiled and said, "Okay."
After being severely reprimanded by his class teacher, Emperor Dayu came to the hot spring pool and saw that his queen was already bathing there. Jiang Xing took off his bathrobe and put it aside: "Qingyu, I'm here."
Lin Qingyu asked in confusion: "Why are you still wearing swimming trunks?"
"I want to take a hot spring bath, baby," Jiang Xing had a bad feeling, "Don't I need to wear anything?"
Lin Qingyu said: "In modern times, you don't need to wear clothes when taking a hot spring bath."
"Who said that?"
"You." Lin Qingyu remembered it as if it were fresh in his mind, "You said that when we were in Dayu."
Jiang Xing was speechless for a moment. He remembered that he had indeed lied to Lin Qingyu, saying that modern people did not wear clothes when taking a hot spring bath.
Jiang Xing's face changed slightly, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Are you wearing it?"
"Of course not."
Jiang Xing took a deep breath and immediately looked around: "Have you been seen by anyone?"
"Just now there was a man and a woman in the same pool with me."
Jiang Xing wanted to slap himself in the face, and stammered, "Qingyu, you, you...stay in the water and don't move. I'll get you some swimming trunks right away."
Lin Qingyu finally couldn't hold it anymore and chuckled: "You are so stupid."
Jiang Xing was stunned for a moment, then realized belatedly and said, "I've been tricked."
Lin Qingyu raised his eyebrows: "Have you forgotten? I always hold grudges."
Jiang Xing choked and said, "You remember my husband's revenge too?!"
"remember."
"...Alright." Jiang Xing jumped into the hot spring with a splash, and water immediately splashed everywhere. "Then I'll check whether the queen is wearing any clothes."
Lin Qingyu did not hide, and let Jiang Xing approach him, saying: "I spent money recklessly, husband."
"Um?"
"It costs a lot of money to rent the hot spring," Lin Qingyu said. "You may have to apply the membrane for 20 years to make that much money."
Jiang Xing was stunned for two seconds, then raised his lips and smiled: "Then stick it on."
Lin Qingyu looked at the high school boy and lowered his head towards him.
The pond is full of moonlight.
