Have you unlocked the hot spring pool play mode?
"You've unlocked the hot spring pool play, haven't you?"
55.
While having dinner in the lobby of the resort that evening, the thoughtful Senior Sister Hui noticed that Lan Jian's face was still flushed and asked if she had been soaking in the hot spring for too long, suggesting that she not soak before going to bed.
Meng Lanjian's face wasn't flushed from bathing; she was terrified by Zhuang Huiting's devilish whispers in her ear—
"You've unlocked the hot spring pool play, haven't you?"
Meng Lanjian was on high alert. She tried to argue, but Zhuang Huiting shut her down with a single sentence: "Don't try to deny it! I've played with people before, and I can tell the difference in the sound of the water."
Meng Lanjian pouted and lowered her head, tugging at her clothes and acting coquettishly, "Don't tease me, I'll get shy."
"Aren't you ashamed when you're swinging around with your anklet on?" Zhuang Huiting flicked Lan Jian's cheek with her finger. The soft, smooth texture made her pinch it again. "Don't worry, I didn't hear anything I shouldn't have. The door wasn't closed properly at first, and the water was too loud. I closed the door and didn't hear anything."
Seeing Meng Lanjian's face turn bright red, Zhuang Huiting kindly added, "The hot spring water is running water, and it's noisy anyway, so it has nothing to do with your side."
"Then you absolutely mustn't let Lao Guan know."
"Just make sure he doesn't catch you tonight."
Zhuang Huiting's mouth is practically blessed; whatever she says comes true.
After dinner, the group played tennis at the resort's sports field. Meng Lanjian, who didn't know how to play, took Chongming's room key and asked a waiter to lead her back first—her bedsheets were incredibly wet. Chongming's next encounter was exceptionally long-lasting; she had two orgasms, and towards the end, she felt almost dehydrated. Chongming fed her water while bringing her to her third climax. After her spasms subsided, he pressed down on her and thrust deeply into her.
She returned to Chongming's room and watched a show on his tablet. Just as she was engrossed in the show, Guan Shaoxiao called and said he had prepared a fruit platter for her and asked her to come out and claim it.
"Oh, the young master himself is bringing the fruit platter..." Meng Lanjian had her phone tucked between her ear and her hands still draped over her coat. When she opened the door, she saw Guan Shaoxiao standing at the door of the next room with a fruit platter. She was once again caught in the embarrassing situation of being caught by Zhuang Huiting before lunch.
"Don't tell me you switched rooms with Chongming." Guan Shaoxiao shook his head and walked up to Lan Jian. "Nobody would believe you two don't sleep in the same room at night."
Caught red-handed twice in one day, Meng Lanjian was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to bang her head against the wall.
Despite his heartbreakingly kind mother-in-law Guan Shaoxiao's gentle and considerate nature, he never embarrassed her. He placed the fruit plate on the entryway for Lan Jian, and she noticed that he had also placed something under the fruit plate.
"Don't worry, Chongming is afraid of gossip. Zhuang Huiting and I will keep your secret relationship a secret. If it leaks out, I'll take full responsibility!"
Lan Jian was surprised that Chongming had a backup plan. "When did he tell you, and how did he tell you?"
"When else could it be? I couldn't get through to you on the phone last night, and he answered again!" Guan Shaoxiao sighed softly. "The relationship between the North and the South has only just eased up, and he still managed to bring you home to meet his parents at a time like this. Han Li could never match his initiative in his entire life."
"Why bring up Han Li... I've seen his parents visiting him near the school on weekends before. Don't always feel like he owes me anything! We broke up peacefully because of the impending war, and I was the one who initiated it." Lan Jian knew that Guan Shaoxiao was actually closer to Han Li, who was the same age, but after discovering what happened to Han Li, he felt protective of her and wanted to take care of her feelings, which led him to compare Chongming's strengths to Han Li's. "You and he should just remain friends. Don't let me influence you."
Guan Shaoxiao shook his head, looking at Lan Jian with a hint of helplessness, "Do you know about the nuclear research institute's monitoring network?"
Lan Jian recalled what Han Li had said the night before he enlisted and nodded, "Chongming is the administrator, right? So when Han Li and I went to a hotel late at night, he tipped us off and told you to stop me, right?"
"What are you thinking? Why would Chongming tip me off to Zhuangzhuang?" Guan Shaoxiao poked Lan Jian's forehead. "You! You've been with Chongming for a year and a half, don't you know what kind of person he is?"
How could I not know? Chongming is a cold and aloof person, indifferent to worldly affairs, yet full of wit and unable to conceal his glory.
Therefore, it can be inferred that when he ordered Guan Zhuang and the other man to stop her and Han Li from checking into a hotel, Meng Lanjian was...
She was angry at his interference, but secretly pleased—at least it proved that he cared about her.
"Then how did you know about Han Liding Hotel?"
"Because Zhuangzhuang and I are also administrators!" Guan Shaoxiao shouldn't have said this, but in order to help Lanjian and Chongming "clear up the misunderstanding," he had no choice but to tell the truth. "Ever since we found out that Han Li was a playboy, we've been keeping an eye on him. At first, we thought he was going to hook up with someone when he booked a hotel room. Zhuangzhuang was so angry that she wanted to catch him cheating. We called you, but you wouldn't answer. That's when we realized that the person he booked the hotel room with was you, you idiot."
"So you're worried that I won't know Han Li's sexual fetishes and will be deceived by him, but you don't want to say it directly, so you forcibly stopped me from continuing to have contact with him?"
"That's right." Guan Shaoxiao thought to himself that he couldn't betray Chongming, so he vaguely changed the subject, "Anyway, you're already with Chongming now. Chongming is always very thoughtful. It's better if you don't go public yet. I'll keep an eye on Chongming for you after you go abroad!"
Meng Lanjian forced a smile, her face still pale. "My relationship with him is one of my own, you don't need to worry about him because of me."
Guan Shaoxiao vaguely sensed that Meng Lanjian and Chongming didn't seem to share a common understanding of their relationship. But this was ultimately their private matter, and even as their best friend, he couldn't easily interfere. So he didn't say anything more.
After the New Year, the Nuclear Research Institute reopened. Guan and Zhuang, in high spirits, visited various laboratories to offer their New Year greetings and planned to go to the Heavy Particle Laboratory to call Lan Jian to go to the cafeteria together. As soon as they opened the door, the two of them slowly backed out, glancing up at the large characters "Heavy Particle Laboratory" on the sign before reopening the door.
Inside the door, two rows of seats were spaced far apart on either side. Next to Sister Hui's seat, which was originally near the left wall, two screens had been added. On the right side, away from the door, a figure with waist-length hair had appeared in the empty seat that used to be Ma Yuehe's. Chongming sat in his seat, and even across the huge laboratory, one could smell the eerie and gloomy aura emanating from him near the door.
Zhuang Huiting and Guan Shaoxiao exchanged a glance: "Isn't that—"
"You've come!"
Zhuang Huiting was startled by Ling Meng Lanjian behind her, and her whole body trembled. "You scared me to death!"
"Buying food?" Meng Lanjian asked indifferently, walking towards the seat next to Senior Sister Hui. Zhuang Huiting finally remembered Meng Lanjian's unusually sensitive and dejected expression at the year-end banquet, and his words after returning to the lab, "I'm all packed, let's go."
So, "tidying up" meant moving all the seats to the diagonal position.
Senior Sister Hui was exchanging glances with Guan and Zhuang while seated, when Guan Shaoxiao pretended to be enthusiastic as he walked inside, "Hey Chongming! Happy New Year, wanna go buy some food together?"
Chongming, focused on the screen, turned to Guan Shaoxiao with a polite smile and said, "Happy New Year, Shaoxiao. I'm not available right now, you guys go ahead."
"Do you need me to bring you some food?" Seeing Chongming's lips move as if he was about to refuse, Guan Shaoxiao said quickly, "Lanjian knows what you like to eat, right? I'll have her bring it back for you."
As he spoke, he walked towards Tan Xiaoxiao, who was sitting one seat away from him, and said, "Junior Xiaoxiao, would you like to come with us to buy food?"
"Thank you, Senior Guan! I'm not hungry yet!"
"We can go buy food together even if we're not hungry! Xiaoxiao, it's your first day here, don't be like your senior Chongming who stays cooped up in the lab all day!" Senior Sister Hui was unaware of the relationship between Chongming and Lanjian, but she was well aware of Tan Xiaoxiao's ulterior motives. Leaving the two of them alone in a room could lead to trouble. "Come on, give Senior Sister Hui some face, how about coming out for a walk with us?"
Since Senior Sister Hui had already put it this way, Tan Xiaoxiao had no room to refuse.
Under the chilling gaze of Senior Zhuang, she walked towards Senior Meng, who was still lost in thought. She pretended to be friendly and leaned closer, speaking in a sweet voice that everyone in the lab could hear, "Senior Meng, I haven't thanked you yet for helping me get the teacher to take me under his wing and even make room for me so I can concentrate on my studies with the senior!"
"Bang!"
Not far away, a loud bang suddenly erupted as ten fingers simultaneously pounded on a keyboard.
It is Chongming.
Everyone was shocked by Chongming's suppressed anger.
Except for Menglanjian.
She didn't say a word, turned around and walked out of the laboratory.
