Chapter 282 Manuscript
Ning Yuan went to Huo Qi for massage every day for several days, and even the slow-witted Huo Qi noticed something was wrong.
It is definitely not the case that this young master is after his money. Maybe he is just after his craftsmanship, Huo Qi thought.
"Sir, you can also go to the bathhouse in our inn to take a bath. There are medicinal baths and back scrubbing that are good for your body."
Huo Qi gave him advice while massaging him.
Ning Yuan didn't know that there was a bathhouse in the inn, so he asked curiously:
"Then you come with me."
"Now? It's already 12:00 PM, how about you..." Ning Yuan interrupted before he could finish his words: "Are you going or not?"
Huo Qi nodded helplessly.
Ning Yuan took him to the bathhouse.
Zhuzi thought to himself, Master, I am such a grown-up person and you...is it appropriate for you to do this?
Are you so concerned about beauty and neglecting servants?
Ning Yuan had no idea what Zhuzi was thinking. He was dumbfounded when he entered the bathhouse. The bathroom was full of naked men.
He was stunned. This scene was really...
There was no such thing in their Huacheng. He felt embarrassed and looked through his fingers.
As expected of a man from the North, he is indeed amazing.
He looked at the cloth towel wrapped around Huo Qi.
Huo Qi thought he was not used to it and said:
"If it's inconvenient for you, there's a small bathroom here, but I don't know if there's anyone there right now."
Ning Yuan likes to look at others, but doesn’t want to be looked at. After all, he is really not used to it.
"Then go ask quickly. I need a small bathroom."
Huo Qi went to ask the manager, and there happened to be one room available, so Huo Qi directly gave Ning Yuan's room number and booked it.
"Sir, there is another one. I'll take you there."
Ning Yuan happily followed Huo Qi to the private room.
The small bathroom is not big, with only a pool, but it is very exquisite.
The water inside is a medicinal bath, it doesn’t smell bad and looks healthy.
Ning Yuan changed his clothes and pulled Huo Qi.
"Come in too, just give me a massage."
Huo Qi looked at Ning Yuan's blushing face and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Although the two of them had frequent massages these days, at least the environment was normal.
An environment like today is still a bit strange.
Huo Qi comforted himself by thinking that he was working in the bathing department.
Anyway, those men who scrub people’s backs are naked in front of people every day.
Huo Qi nodded and went into the water with a towel wrapped around him.
Ning Yuan watched him slowly approaching, his blood beating with excitement.
He lay on the edge of the pool and Huo Qi massaged his shoulders and back.
"My foot hurts, can you massage it for me?" she said as she put her foot on his leg.
The mist gradually filled the air, and the other person's face could not be seen clearly.
Ning Yuan also became bolder.
Huo Qi opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.
Ning Yuan swam over slowly like a water ghost, and his gentle voice seemed like a temptation from the depths of his soul: "Don't want to?"
Ning Yuan put his fingertips on the man's lips, "Shh, don't talk."
"You did it for me the past few days, today I'll do it for you, okay!"
Without waiting for Huo Qi to react, he submerged his soft hand into the water.
Zhuzi waited in the house until midnight but Ningyuan still didn't show up.
He murmured, "Nothing will happen, right?"
Then I thought it was impossible. The inn was very safe, and there were so many soldiers stationed here, so something couldn't possibly happen. So...
He prayed for his elder brother in his heart and wished him good luck.
Ning Yuan did not return home all night. He only remembered that Huo Qi carried him out of the bathhouse in the second half of the night.
The waiter glanced at Huo Qi, then took them to the guest rooms on the first floor.
When Ning Yuan woke up, he saw Huo Qi sitting with his back to him.
He smiled and hugged Huo Qi from behind: "Why didn't you call me when you get up?"
Huo Qi still can't adapt to this change, why can't they?
It's still with the guests. If my employer finds out, I don't know if I can keep this job.
"I...we are not doing this right."
Ning Yuan smiled: "Does right or wrong matter? Are you uncomfortable?"
Huo Qi admitted that this was the best day in his twenty-three years, but... he couldn't.
He has a younger sister and a mother at home, and he is the only son in the family.
What if his mother knew about him and the other man?
Ning Yuan looked at him in a daze and said, "What are you thinking about? Isn't it good to live happily every day?"
Huo Qi thought so too, since he had no future anyway.
He turned and looked at Ning Yuan: "Yesterday...are you feeling okay? I'll go get you some food."
Ning Yuan rushed over and said: "My waist still hurts, you accompany me today."
"But I..."
"I'll take care of your entire order, okay? I'm already in this state, and you have the heart to leave me alone."
Huo Qi looked at the marks on his neck and said guiltily, "Okay."
Ning Yuan and Huo Qi became good friends. He always pestered Huo Qi, and the two of them spent the whole day together without any shame or excitement.
The bamboo is no longer worth looking at.
Ning Yuan experienced complete happiness and now no longer wants to leave.
As more and more people come to the border trade zone.
Because of its unique dishes and excellent service, Youran Inn has become popular throughout the Barbarian Tribe and Fencheng in just one month.
All the gourmets in Fencheng made appointments to have dinner there.
Young masters who love to eat, drink and have fun all want to experience the bathhouse culture.
For a time, the border trade zone was extremely bustling.
Zhao Yimu came back that day and started writing the manuscript furiously. His creative desire was overflowing, and he finished it that same day.
The next morning he went to the escort agency to ask if there was a carriage going to Bin City, and asked them to deliver the letter to Qingyun Bookstore.
Recently, due to the opening of border trade areas, the escort agency's business is very good. Escorts are escorted every day. They also accept orders for letters. The price varies according to the distance.
Even though the journey was not far, it cost Zhao Yimu 300 coins.
Although it hurts, I have to send it.
In this case, he would have to move out of the inn quickly. Although he had a scholar subsidy, he could not just sit there and live off his savings.
The next day he went to rent a house. Houses near the north are more expensive now because they are close to the border trade zone.
He could only rent a very ordinary mud house in the south of Fencheng, which cost 380 wen a month.
The price has only gone up recently, and now there are many people coming to Fencheng to work.
The workshops and border trade zones need people, and everyone is scrambling to rent houses. Those who own houses here have made money.
Pei Wen's business is now growing bigger and bigger, and Qingyun Bookstore has expanded to 10 stores.
The most important departments are the advertising business department and the editorial department.
Xie Shuangbai had mentioned the editorial department casually before. He thought it was a good idea and started working on it immediately.
The scripts sold in their shop now are all the best ones that the editorial department has found among the many manuscripts sent by mail.
At first they didn't expect that there would be writers from other places writing articles. It was a young lady who often came to buy storybooks that proposed it, and he accepted it.
After that, word of mouth spread, and now they receive manuscripts from various cities every day.
Now their shop not only has contracted writers who have collaborated on many works.
There are also many new authors full of creativity who submit their manuscripts continuously.
The shop's business is growing steadily, and now it has become the most profitable bookstore in Bincheng.
"Boss, this manuscript is good, please review it."
