Chapter 86. At the hot spring resort, Fuyao playfully splashed some water on him…
Zhuang Fuyao has a personality that is very pleasing to elders. She is sweet-talking and knows how to talk, and she can make Old Master Yu laugh heartily.
After greeting Elder Yu, Zhuang Fuyao turned her attention to the girl next to her...
The two had met in front of Jiangda's publicity booth, and she never expected that the other person was actually Shen Lian.
She nodded politely to Chen Lian, who nodded back, then awkwardly avoided her gaze.
After chatting with Mr. Yu for a while, Zhuang Fuyao brought up the reason for her visit.
Old Master Yu's expression instantly turned serious: "Huai Xu's mood has been very strange lately?"
Zhuang Fuyao nodded, "Yes, although he didn't show it to me, I could sense that something was wrong. I thought that you and Liang Huaixu had been teacher and student for so many years, and few people knew their students better than you, so I wanted to come and find out what was going on and see if I could find any clues."
Shen Lian, listening from the side, couldn't help but feel nervous.
When my senior brother first got divorced, he was in a terrible state. He was in a daze all day, locked himself in his room, and wouldn't see anyone. He even had suicidal thoughts. Fortunately, his teacher persuaded him to come back to his senses.
When she heard this, she felt sorry for her senior brother, but also envied the woman he loved so deeply.
The other person was standing right in front of him, but he didn't know anything about his senior brother's situation.
Chen Lian suddenly felt sorry for her senior brother, "You really didn't know?"
Zhuang Fuyao's momentary confusion stung Chen Lian.
Chen Lian blurted out impulsively, "Do you know that my senior brother did this for you—"
"Xiao Lian!" Old Yu frowned and warned.
Shen Lian's eyes reddened, and she bit her lip to hold back her tears.
Zhuang Fuyao sensed something was wrong, "What's wrong with Liang Huaixu?"
Old Yu sighed deeply. “You haven’t been in contact for the past five years, so you may not know about him. After he divorced you five years ago, he was extremely depressed and even had suicidal thoughts. Although he was persuaded to come back to health, he seems to have some tendency towards depression. He has been seeing a psychologist regularly for the past five years.”
Zhuang Fuyao's heart skipped a beat.
Before this, she had never associated Liang Huaixu with the word "suicide." In her memory, he had always been a very resilient person, as if nothing could defeat him or cause him any trouble.
Was his early death in the original story also due to depression?
Remembering how they loved each other but missed each other in the original story, Zhuang Fuyao felt a lump in her throat and tears fell. With Old Master Yu and Shen Lian still beside her, she felt she was losing control. After calming herself down, she told Old Master Yu about her amnesia.
After understanding the situation, Old Yu frowned, feeling that fate was truly playing tricks on him. After Zhuang Fuyao left, he asked Chen Lian, "What was with your attitude just now?"
"No, I just feel sorry for my senior brother." Chen Lian shook her head, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Old Master Yu was an experienced man; he couldn't hide his students' thoughts from him. Both of them were his students, and he knew that Liang Huaixu only had eyes for Fuyao, and that a relationship with Chen Lian was impossible.
He reminded her, "Xiao Lian, you are still young and have many choices. You and your senior brother are not suitable for each other. It's better to end it now than to suffer for a long time."
Zhuang Fuyao's amnesia was the final blow to Chen Lian. She knew she no longer had any right or standing to care about her senior brother's private life. While she could still maintain a semblance of dignity, she had to let go of this relationship.
In front of the teacher, Chen Lian could no longer suppress herself and burst into tears, "I know, teacher."
-
After leaving Old Master Yu's house, Zhuang Fuyao was in a low mood and didn't know where to go, so she went to Qingfeng Pavilion to check on the situation.
To be honest, Cheng Fan is really a shrewd little man now, with an excellent ability to read people's expressions and moods.
She had only been inside a short while when Cheng Fan brought her another cup of the same duck poop lemon tea from last time.
Cheng Fan scratched his head and chuckled, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your brother-in-law?"
Zhuang Fuyao glanced at him and said, "Your brother-in-law and I haven't seen each other for a long time. We don't have time to argue."
She almost forgot about the passionate encounter last night. When she remembered it, she felt guilty and suddenly took a big gulp of wine.
Cheng Fan was puzzled. "That can't be right. I've seen my brother-in-law's car parked nearby these past few days."
Zhuang Fuyao asked in surprise, "You're not mistaken?" Cheng Fan replied humorously, "With my brother-in-law's consecutive license plate number, it would be difficult for me to make a mistake."
Zhuang Fuyao hesitated for a few seconds.
The thing I couldn't understand before suddenly became clear at this moment: it must be that Yu Heng was seen by Liang Huaixu at Qingfeng Pavilion.
If that's the case, she can't care about anything else; she must tell Liang Huaixu the truth about this.
She sent Liang Huaixu a message, asking him to make time for her that evening.
As soon as she finished get off work, she drove to Changting and picked up Liang Huaixu to take him to a hot spring hotel in the next city. This was also the place where Ms. Ji and Lao Zhuang went on vacation last time, and Ms. Ji gave very positive feedback after returning.
Zhuang Fuyao came here partly because she thought that soaking in the hot springs would relax her mind and make it a good time to talk about sensitive topics.
On the other hand, it's also a change of environment to adjust one's mood.
The owner knew they were coming and gave them a special welcome, preparing the best suite for them.
Stepping out of the room, you'll find a private hot spring bath with excellent privacy, furnished with scented candles and rose petals, creating a wonderful atmosphere.
As the owner of a restaurant with a traditional Chinese style, Zhuang Fuyao naturally had to add some flair when soaking in the hot springs. She wore an apricot-colored gauze inner garment from an ancient costume, and her hair was casually tied up, giving her a lazy and beautiful look.
While soaking in the hot spring, she chatted with Liang Huaixu, "I've been so busy with work lately. This is a hot spring hotel that Ms. Ji recommended to me, so I thought I'd bring you here to relax."
Why didn't you come on the weekend?
"I just remembered it today, so instead of waiting until the weekend, I might as well do it now."
“…Mmm.” Liang Huaixu nodded, listening to the soft music and being enveloped in warm water, his mind and body relaxed for a moment.
Zhuang Fuyao playfully splashed some water on him.
Liang Huaixu remained calm and composed, neither getting angry nor retaliating when she splashed him.
Zhuang Fuyao swam over, touched his cheek, and forced a smile. "What's wrong? Are you unhappy? Smile..."
She said softly, "Are you angry because I was too busy with work the other day and didn't have time for you?"
As she rubbed his face, Liang Huaixu finally revealed a hint of helplessness. He couldn't say yes or no.
At this moment, Zhuang Fuyao said, "I have something to tell you."
Liang Huaixu's heart sank. "What?"
"Yu Heng has returned to China and even met with me."
Hidden underwater by the roses, Liang Huaixu clenched his fist. "And then?"
She explained in detail, "He seems to be a fairly famous singer from abroad. He wanted to find inspiration at Qingfeng Pavilion and even offered some terms, so I agreed to let him stay at Qingfeng Pavilion for a while. I was worried that you would overthink it if you found out, so I didn't tell you..."
Liang Huaixu looked at her, "Then why are you telling me now?"
"I'm afraid you'll be angry." Zhuang Fuyao asked him with a hint of coquettishness, "Will you be angry?"
“If it’s just work-related collaboration, then no,” Liang Huaixu said patiently. “Is there anything else?”
"Also, I suspect he might be a spy sent by the other side..."
After listening to her words, Liang Huaixu felt that Yu Heng was indeed suspicious, but he did not agree with her keeping a suspicious person by her side, as it was too dangerous.
Moreover, her current bad impression of Yu Heng stems from the fact that many of his actions are suspicious. What if it turns out that Yu Heng has no ill intentions?
Does she feel guilty towards Yu Heng?
Guilt can easily trigger other emotions.
Zhuang Fuyao didn't know what he was thinking, so she made a promise first: "I absolutely have no other thoughts about him. Maybe I had a little bit of innocent and naive affection for him before, but that's all in the past."
Worried that Liang Huaixu wouldn't believe her, she generously gave an example: "Like you, you must have had a crush on a girl in middle school, but that crush was just a fleeting moment. You probably don't even remember her name now."
Liang Huaixu was silent for two seconds, then said, "I remember."
Zhuang Fuyao was stunned, not expecting his answer. In that instant, she suddenly felt what jealousy was like, and angrily put her hands on her hips, "Fine, you!"
Her cheeks, flushed from the hot spring, puffed up. Zhuang Fuyao was genuinely angry this time, and also felt somewhat aggrieved.
She tried to explain gently, and even cried because of him, feeling uneasy. But he said he still remembered the girl he used to have feelings for!
Seeing her angry expression, Liang Huaixu almost imperceptibly raised his lips, his gloomy mood from the past few days because of Yu Heng somewhat eased.
Just as she turned to go ashore, Liang Huaixu caught her in time.
Zhuang Fuyao tried to break free, and with a slightly larger movement, her fragrant shoulders were exposed from under her loose inner garment. His deep, magnetic voice entered her ears, "The only girl you've ever had feelings for is right in front of you, how could you not remember?"
“………..”
After Zhuang Fuyao was coaxed, she stopped resisting and was held tightly in his arms.
She was still worried about Liang Huaixu's depression and wasn't sure if he had taken her words to heart, so she turned around to observe his expression.
Although nothing seemed amiss, Liang Huaixu was determined to conceal something, so he kept his emotions hidden and she couldn't detect it at all.
Only in that area could he not hide his emotions.
She squeezed forward, pressed her hand against his chest, and looked him up and down.
I thought to myself, if he were wearing thin, white clothes, the semi-transparent look would definitely have a better visual effect.
Her intention was to test him, but her breathing became erratic.
But what she didn't know was that the half-transparent effect she had just imagined was perfectly reflected in herself.
The soaked apricot-colored base layer clung to her body, outlining her graceful figure, slender waist, and round, upright posture.
Liang Huaixu's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as their gazes mingled and grew increasingly intense.
Today's kiss signified that they had cleared up their misunderstandings, so it was exceptionally intense. It was hard to tell who initiated it, and by the end, Zhuang Fuyao felt like she could barely stand; her legs were going weak.
Her eyes welled up with tears. She clung to Liang Huaixu's neck, relying on him for support to steady herself. "Let's go back to the room..."
While hot springs are romantic, the water temperature is too high for strenuous exercise.
"good."
Liang Huaixu carried her around the waist and walked her to the room, put her on the bed, and gently used a bath towel to dry her body.
Feeling tickled by this indirect approach, Zhuang Fuyao couldn't help but rub her legs together, nibbled at his ear, and said suggestively, "No need for foreplay... let's go straight to it..."
After she finished speaking, Liang Huaixu was no longer so gentle with her. He quickly dried her off, got into bed, and wrapped her up tightly in the blanket. Zhuang Fuyao was like a silkworm cocoon...
Her thoughts were wandering, and she was just thinking that this was some new kind of fun when Liang Huaixu, oblivious to her feelings, whispered in her ear, "Not today. We did it too many times yesterday. We both need to rest."
"..."
Zhuang Fuyao wanted to cry but had no tears.
Good news: Liang Huaixu has finally returned to normal.
The bad news: She's really feeling terrible right now... she misses me so much...
