    Chapter 32 Hot Spring Trip The sky is clear and the sunshine is just right. Yazhou…

    The sky is clear and the sunshine is just right, making the bluestone road in Yazhou warm. The weather has cooled down, and there is still a light white mist.

    Yazhou is a beautiful and leisurely city. The wind carries the water vapor from the stream and the residual fragrance of the osmanthus brushing the copper bells on the eaves, the shallow creek and the simple buildings. As soon as the busy urbanites step into the territory of Yazhou, they seem to slow down.

    Shuanghe Town is the most famous hot spring attraction in Yazhou. Every winter, the hot spring pools in the mountains are steaming with steam, and even the air is filled with a warm sulfur smell.

    So every winter, countless tourists come here to soak in hot springs and enjoy life.

    Cheng Cheng wrapped up his long black down jacket tightly and pulled the zipper down to his chin. The tip of his nose was still red from the cold.He stared at Wei Zhi’s back in front of him and smiled. The white down jacket of the same style made Wei Zhi look slimmer even more.

    Wei Zhi’s electric wheelchair moved forward slowly and stopped in front of a tall red lacquer gate.

    Cheng Cheng pulled the suitcase and followed behind, and couldn’t help but exclaimed: “This is too big!”

    Wei Zhi smiled: “Most of the ordinary hot springs are open-air pools, with three or five people crowded together. Each suite in this hotel has a private hot spring. The three to five pools have different temperatures, ranging from warm water at 40 degrees to hot springs at 60 degrees. Even the water changes are handled by dedicated personnel at regular intervals.”

    Cheng Cheng went to the stone lion by the door and touched it. The cold stone made him retract his hand: “How much will it cost?” He calculated silently in his mind. His rent in the past few months was not enough to pay a fraction of a night here. He couldn’t help but be surprised. “The enjoyment of rich people is really beyond imagination.”

    Wei Zhi shook his head: “This is just a common pastime for them. You have never seen anything more outrageous. Someone specially booked the hot springs in the entire mountain just to soak in the hot springs. Even the chef brought a private chef team. Only you can’t imagine, there are deals that can’t be done without money.”

    After hearing this, Cheng Cheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came close to Wei Zhi’s wheelchair, smiling and smiling: “Yes, so do we.”

    Before Wei Zhi could react, he frowned: “Huh?”

    “Brother Wei, you paid me to marry you. I agreed because I was too poor and couldn’t find a job, right?” Cheng Cheng explained matter-of-factly.

    Wei Zhi paused and looked at Cheng Cheng helplessly: “Xiao Cheng, are you making fun of me?”

    Cheng Cheng looked at Wei Zhi’s deflated and aggrieved eyes and couldn’t help but laugh. He smiled as he walked forward: “I’m not kidding you!” Wei Zhi controlled the wheelchair and followed him, and couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

    He had already reserved a room in advance, and soon a dedicated butler came to help carry their luggage and lead them into the room.

    The names of the rooms in this hot spring hotel are also very interesting. They are divided into different sizes, and they happened to live in Room 4 of Tianzi No. 1.

    After passing through the layers of courtyards, Cheng Cheng walked in the corridor and admired the scenery.

    There are koi carps waving their tails in the pond, and palace lanterns embroidered with gold threads hanging on the corridor.

    Suddenly, he mysteriously said to Wei Zhi: “Brother Wei, I have read a novel before, and the hot spring hotels in it are also divided like this, the emperor and the land. Do you know what happened after the protagonist group checked into the hotel?”

    “Huh?” Wei Zhi tilted his head in response, pressing his knuckles to his lips, “Is there a secret passage?”

    Cheng Cheng raised his eyebrows: “They discovered that soaking in the hot springs here can rejuvenate one’s youth. The rich second generation brought coffins to the hot springs for delicious food and laziness. Inside the coffins were their extremely old parents. In the middle of the night, those half-dead zombies lined up wearing shrouds and jumped into the hot springs. After coming out of the hot springs, they returned to their youthful appearance.”

    He shook his shoulders as he spoke, imitating a zombie’s jump.

    The housekeeper who was walking at the front smiled after hearing Cheng Cheng’s words: “Our hot springs have certain effects on beautifying the skin and soothing the meridians, but they cannot rejuvenate the youth.”

    Wei Zhi looked at Cheng Cheng making faces, his mood became lighter and lighter, and the corners of his lips curved obviously: “Maybe, if I finish soaking, I can stand up and walk on my own?”

    After speaking, he deliberately patted his knee with a sly glint in his eyes.

    Cheng Cheng’s heart skipped a beat and he nodded quickly, the smile in his eyes becoming more serious: “Of course you can! By then you will be walking faster than me, and I will have to trot to keep up.”

    Wei Zhi sped up the electric wheelchair: “I’m faster than you now.”

    “You’re cheating!” Cheng Cheng ran after him.

    The butler who was dragging the big box was a slightly fat middle-aged man. He chased after him hummingly, and he did not forget to remind him: “There are steps at the corner, be careful!”

    Because Wei Zhi’s legs were inconvenient, they booked a very large flat-floor room.

    When he pushed open the carved wooden door of the balcony, Cheng Cheng was stunned again.

    Five hot spring pools of different sizes are lined up along the stone wall. The spring water gushes out from the dragon’s mouth on the stone wall, winds down the stone wall, and gathers in the pool to steam slowly.

    There are also rattan lounge chairs by the pool, covered with thick cashmere cushions.

    Cheng Cheng’s eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn’t wait to run to the edge of the pool. He quickly stretched out his hand to feel the temperature.

    The butler put the suitcase into the cloakroom and handed over two cups of hot tea with a smile: “You two should warm up first. The water in the pool has just been changed and needs to stand for half an hour. Dinner time is coming soon. The viewing seats at the Genting Restaurant have been reserved. May I take you two to familiarize yourself with the room facilities?”

    Cheng Cheng felt the heat of the spring water, and his blood was excited. When he heard the butler’s explanation, he quickly followed him, curious about every smart little thing.

    The housekeeper finally walked to the bed, opened the bedside table with white gloves, and took out a black remote control.

    “Is this the one that turns on the TV?” Cheng Cheng asked curiously.

    The housekeeper shook his head and smiled mysteriously: “This is to control the bed. The smart bed has cradle mode, wave mode…”

    “What?” Cheng Cheng didn’t react.

    “Ahem.” Wei Zhi coughed twice and signaled to the housekeeper with his eyes.

    The butler was about to explain when he received the message and quickly shut up: “Nothing, it’s just that some guests have difficulty falling asleep and may need to simulate rocking in the car to fall asleep.”

    “That’s it,” Cheng Cheng nodded as if he understood, and reached out to touch the soft bedding, “Nowadays hotels are so considerate! But Brother Wei and I both sleep well, so we probably won’t need these features.”

    Wei Zhi was sitting in a wheelchair, his fingers holding the teacup slightly tightened, and the tips of his ears were still slightly red.

    After a tiring journey, the two of them took a nap for half an hour. When they went out again, the setting sun had dyed the sky orange.

    The restaurant is no longer in the mansion, but a “Yunding Restaurant” has been built on the east side of the mountain, overlooking almost the entire town.It was already evening, and the rolling hills were dotted with thousands of lights. The dusk sun enveloped the town, seeming to emit a light orange-red halo.

    “It’s so beautiful!” Cheng Cheng’s eyes reflected the scenery outside the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window.

    “If you like us, come often. We come every winter.” Wei Zhi asked the waiter to take them to a seat by the window.

    The waiter very considerately chose a quiet location with a beautiful view, and handed them the menu: “You two gentlemen, you can take a look first. All the dishes marked with an asterisk in front are our signature recommended dishes. If you have special tastes, you can inform us in advance when ordering.”

    “Thank you,” Wei Zhi smiled politely at the waiter and handed the menu to Cheng Cheng, “Xiao Cheng, please order.”

    The names of the dishes are very antique, such as Wubao Fresh Vegetables, Meiwu Wencha, Jiaren Snow Lotus Root… and the drinks are Jialu Ice Mash, Honey Pickled Loquat Soup, Lanzhi Clear Brew, etc., which makes people confused.

    Fortunately, the main ingredients were thoughtfully marked on the side and the cooking method was explained.It seems that this restaurant also knows that customers will not understand the strange dish names.

    Cheng Cheng couldn’t help but said: “Brother Wei, guess what this Qiongsuye is?”

    Wei Zhi took a closer look, ran his fingertips across the words on the menu, and pondered: “Sounds like fried plant roots? Like fried yam slices?”

    “No!” Cheng Cheng waved his hand and spread the menu in front of Wei Zhi, “It’s grilled steamed bun slices, brushed with some honey at most!”

    Wei Zhi looked at Cheng Cheng’s indignant look and agreed, “The name of this dish is not realistic.”

    “That’s right,” Cheng Cheng pointed at the menu, “This grilled steamed bun slices costs 268 a piece. Aren’t you trying to steal money? And the steamed seabass costs 348!”

    Wei Zhi looked along his fingers with gentle eyes. He couldn’t help but raise his hand and rub Cheng Cheng’s hair, rubbing the top of his soft hair with his fingertips.

    “Look at the scenery outside the window and the environment of this restaurant. The walls are all authentic works by famous local painters. The tableware looks like antiques. Even the waiters have been trained for more than three years. After all, is it worth it?”

    Cheng Cheng looked around. There was a faint scent of sandalwood floating in the air. The guests at the next table all spoke softly, and even the sound of the clinking of knives and forks was very soft.

    “Okay, the environment is indeed very good, but…it’s still expensive.”

    “Then don’t look at the price. I’ll pay anyway, so just eat.” Wei Zhi took out the menu in his hand and quickly ordered a few dishes with the waiter.

    “One serving of five-treasure vegetables, one steamed sea bass, and one serving of Dongpo elbow. For drinks, I want a jar of honey-soaked loquat soup. Let it warm before serving.” After naming the dishes, he raised his head and added to the waiter, “The elbow needs to be stewed until it becomes tender. Thank you.”

    While admiring the night view, Cheng Cheng took a sip of rice wine intoxicatedly. With the sweet aroma of loquat, he smacked his lips and said, “It tastes good. It’s indeed ‘jelly and jade dew’!”

    Wei Zhi took a sip and realized that this was probably the hotel’s home-brewed wine, and the alcohol content was quite high. He looked at Cheng Cheng’s posture of taking one mouthful after another, and dissuaded him: “Xiao Cheng, don’t drink too much, you won’t be able to soak in the hot spring for a while.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of noise from the door.

    It seems that a few rich second-generation young people had a conflict with the manager because they were not allowed in without a reservation. But the rich second-generation people didn’t care about so many rules and threatened the manager and insisted on entering.

    The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and persuaded him hard: “Our reservation seats have long been filled up. The remaining seats are reserved for guests staying here. The number is fixed. There are really no extra seats.”

    The leader was domineering and snorted. He looked at the manager sideways and said, “Think it over for yourself. If we are not allowed in today, the store will be closed tomorrow due to violation of regulations!”

    Several rich second generation people made rude remarks to the manager.

    One of them looked unhappy. Hearing the uncivilized words used by his friends, he stopped him and said, “Let’s go eat somewhere else today. There’s nothing delicious here.”

    The manager hung his head in embarrassment and motioned with his eyes to the waiter to call their big boss.

    Wei Zhi frowned, as if he heard a familiar voice.

    He turned around and saw Tu Yao.

    Tu Yao was scolded as a coward by his rich second-generation friends, and with nowhere to turn his face, he happened to turn to Wei Zhi and met his eyes.

    “Do you know that person?” Cheng Cheng asked.

    Wei Zhi nodded: “I know the guy with the pale face, he is the nephew of a boss I worked with before.”

    Cheng Cheng looked at Tu Yao who turned his head awkwardly: “He seems to be disliked by his brothers.”

    Wei Zhi stared at Tu Yao for a while, then turned around and asked Cheng Cheng: “Xiao Cheng, his name is Tu Yao. He is a nice guy. I would like to invite him to join us. Do you mind?”

    “It doesn’t matter, your legs are convenient for me, I’ll go tell him.” Cheng Cheng felt that Wei Zhi must have met a relative of Party A. Since everyone has met him, there is no way he can pretend not to have seen it.

    The rich second generation were still arguing with the manager. Cheng Cheng quietly walked up to Tu Yao and pulled his sleeve.

    “You are Tu Yao, right? Wei Zhi and I are at the table,” Cheng Cheng pointed to the corner, “He wants to invite you to join us.”

    Tu Yao shook his head flattered: “It’s too disturbing to you, no need.”

    “It’s okay, he said you’re a nice person, we don’t care, let’s come together!”

    Tu Yao looked at Cheng Cheng’s sincere gaze and felt shaken in his heart. He subconsciously looked in Wei Zhi’s direction, but could only see the back of Wei Zhi’s head, and his back was blocked by the wheelchair.

    He clenched his fists and nodded slightly: “Okay, then I’ll tell my friends that they’ll be here soon and thank Boss Wei for me.”

    Cheng Cheng returned to his seat first: “He agreed!”

    “Well, I knew he would agree.” Wei Zhi smiled and took a sip of rice wine.

    “Are you going to talk about something?” Cheng Cheng was a little curious, “Do I need to avoid it?”

    “Of course not, you are my lover.” Wei Zhi threw a big bomb lightly.

    The tips of Cheng Cheng’s ears were a little red.You haven’t confessed your love yet, so how can you be considered a lover? Wasn’t it a fake marriage when you got the certificate before?

    Tu Yao came quickly. He glanced at Wei Zhi nervously: “Mr. Wei.”

    “Sit down quickly,” Wei Zhi thoughtfully handed him a pair of bowls and chopsticks and introduced with a smile, “This is my lover.”

    It turns out to be like this!Tu Yao was quietly shocked. He didn’t expect that Wei Zhi’s partner was a beta. He always felt that someone like Wei Zhi would like a virtuous omega.

    But there is nothing right or wrong in love, as long as you like it, it is right.

    He said “Ah”: “It turns out that this is Mr. Wei’s wife. I didn’t see it just now. It’s because of my blindness.”

    Wei Zhi listened to his flattering words and nodded with a smile.

    He knew that what he said to Tu Yao last time had an effect. Han Jiguang began to take action, and Tu Yao also began to plan for himself.

    He has found out that Tu Yao is trying to transfer some fixed assets in preparation for starting a business.

    Now that Tu Yao can accept his invitation and sit at the same table for dinner, he also knows something about Han Jiguang’s inside story. He is completely disappointed with his uncle and wants to find new help.

    Quite a smart guy.

    Cheng Cheng poured some wine for Tu Yao: “Since we met by chance, we can be considered friends. Let’s have a drink.”

    Tu Yao picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. This wine was different from the various high-end wines he had drunk in the past. It was sweet and mild in the mouth, and it was a little warm when it slid into his throat, but it was not choking.

    He clicked his tongue, still not satisfied.

    Wei Zhi noticed that he liked to drink, so he asked the waiter to open a bottle of wine, and said with a smile: “You don’t have to be polite, Xiao Tu. We have enough wine for today.”
