Chapter 240 – Hot Springs Hotel (1)

Most of the players had already gotten off the bus by the time Bai Xuan woke up. Bai Xuan rubbed his eyes, grabbed his phone and got off. Xie Shurong had actively taken Bai Xuan's luggage from the bus and walked over. "Are you awake? Go and check in."

"Yes." Bai Xuan grabbed his luggage from Xie Shurong and headed into the hotel lobby.

Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng were talking with each other at the front desk of the hotel. Bai Xuan walked over and stood with Xiao Han. Then Li Cangyu came over with a watch. "Please hand me your ID cards and I will help you check in."

The group immediately took out the ID cards and handed them to the captain. There were some people pa.s.sing by who wondered which travel agency this large group had booked with.

"Luo Zhang duo, your room number is 7th building 201, Tan Cheng duo is 202, Su Yu is 301…" Li Cangyu named the rooms and returned the ID cards to everyone. The captain of the national team didn't need to do this but he helped everyone get their rooms. Everyone felt that Cat G.o.d was a great captain!

—At the very least, he was kinder than the serious Ling Xuefeng.

Once it came time for Bai Xuan's turn, Li Cangyu read, "Ah Shu and Xiao Bai have room 602."

Bai Xuan was confused. "Who arranged the rooms?" He looked back and saw Xie Shurong smiling at him. The latter met Bai Xuan's eyes and spoke innocently, "Everyone freely formed a group. We didn't have anyone and were grouped together."

“Is that so?" Bai Xuan felt very suspicious.

"Yes!" Xie Shurong smiled sincerely. "XIao Han wanted to live with Qin Mo to learn Chinese. Zhuo Hang lives with Captain Jiang to exchange experiences about a hunter. Cat G.o.d wanted to team up with Captain Ling to discuss things. We were the only ones left in Canglan and were teamed up."

His words sounded reasonable but Bai Xuan always felt that something was wrong.

He remembered the previous time when Xie Shurong crawled into his bed in the middle of the night. Bai Xuan couldn't help thinking that living for half a month in a room with the person who confessed to him would be a big challenge!

However, Bai Xuan saw Xie Shurong actively help him lift his luggage while holding the room card and was forced to follow.

***

The hot springs hotel had an excellent environment. After going out behind the lobby, they arrived at the hotel accommodation area. A large musical fountain could be seen, as well as two long coffee halls surrounded by green trees. Despite being a hot summer day, the environment here was very cool.

Next to the coffee hall was an open-air swimming pool and further on were rows of villlike apartments.

The hotel apartment buildings each had seven storeys. The first floor was a public gym, while the second to seventh floors contained two people rooms. The  national team members plus reporter and photographer took up 12 double rooms in the 7th building.

Everyone gathered downstairs. Li Cangyu patiently explained, "Go back tonight and take a rest. Starting from 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, the restaurant on the upper floor of the hotel lobby will have a breakfast buffet. You can eat breakfast by telling them your room number. After breakfast, meet at the 10th floor meeting room. The gathering time is 8 o'clock. Don't be late."

Cheng Wei couldn't help saying, "Cat G.o.d, you are like a tour guide!"

Li Cangyu smiled helplessly. "There is no other way. The chairman has to go back and has handed over the training management to me and Xuefeng. This is the national team and everyone should try to be punctual. I don't want to waste everyone's time because one or two people are late."

The members nodded to show they understood there was a need for strict management, otherwise it would be a mess.

Li Cangyu continued, "Xuefeng and I are staying in room 601. If you have a matter to talk about, you can directly call the hotel's internal line to find us. Later, I will build a private Q group for the national team."

"In addition, today's dinner is a hotel buffet. There is a third floor Chinese restaurant in the building just now that is open from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m."  Li Cangyu looked down at his watch. "It is still early. You can soak in a hot spring or eat dinner and go back to soak. Everyone is free to arrange their time tonight."

"Okay, go back to your rooms!"

Li Cangyu quickly explained things and took the elevator to the sixth floor with Ling Xuefeng.

The view from the seventh floor was the best. In order to take care of the few sisters, Li Cangyu let Liu Xiang, Yang Muzi, Meng Jie and the team reporter Zhao Yue live on the seventh floor. He would stay on the sixth floor with Ling Xuefeng. Opposite him were Xie Shurong and Bai Xuan.

Qin Mo and Xiao Han, Yan Ruiwen and Guo Xuan were on the fifth floor. The fourth floor was Jiang Xu and Zhuo Hang, Lu Xiao and the photographer Zhou Yang. The third floor had Su Guangmo and Yu Pingsheng, Chu Yan and Zhu Qingyue. Finally, Lou Wushuang and Zhang Shaohui, Tan s.h.i.+tian and Cheng Wei were on the second floor.

Cheng Wei was somewhat unhappy about this arrangement. He entered his room and complained, "I am on the second floor and Cat G.o.d is on the sixth floor. This is too far away!"

Tan s.h.i.+tian wondered, "So?  Do you want to go upstairs to find him and play?"

Cheng Wei was silent for a moment before replying, "He must be very busy. I won't bother him."

Tan s.h.i.+tian thought this person looked stupid and his IQ wasn't high, but he was reliable in key moments. There were many 'things' to discuss between Captain Ling and Cat G.o.d. He still wanted to go to Cat G.o.d to play? Then he didn't want to live!

He was finally able to be in a team with Cat G.o.d and Cheng Wei had been thinking about chatting with Cat G.o.d. This was the result. He couldn't help feeling depressed as he hung his head and stared at his toes.

Tan s.h.i.+tian walked over to him and whispered, "Do you want to soak in the hot springs water?"

Cheng Wei recovered some spirit. "Yes! I haven't soaked in it yet!" He actively opened his suitcase and looked through his messy clothes. He found some pyjamas with the white magician avatar and exclaimed after entering the bathroom, "Wow! This bathtub is so big! The hotel is really luxurious!"

Tan s.h.i.+tian was laughing at his cute pyjamas and couldn't help going to the bathroom to check. The bathtub truly was big. The width was 1.5 metres and it was comparable to a small double bed.

The hotel designers clearly knew that many couples came to the hot springs hotel and made the bathtub big so it was convenient for a couple to take a bath together.

Moreover, there were a few bottles and jars next to the bathtub. The small bottles looked very delicate. Cheng Wei took a closer look and couldn't help asking, "I know this is shampoo and this is shower gel, but what is the green bottle?"

Tan s.h.i.+tian came to take a look. "It is essential oil. You can drop it in when taking a bath."

Cheng Wei understood and grabbed a blue bottle. "What about this?"

Tan s.h.i.+tian's expression became strange.

Cheng Wei continued to ask, "What is it?"

“Cough, it's… lubricating supplies and there is a fee after using it." Tan s.h.i.+tian was forced to speak with a straight face and he saw Cheng Wei's face instantly turn red. Tan s.h.i.+tian's heart was beating so quickly that he wanted to push this person into the bathtub and directly eat him.

“I'll take a bath first!" Cheng Wei turned the faucet and drove Tan s.h.i.+tian out. "Go unpack your luggage or watch TV!"

Tan s.h.i.+tian thought, 'I would rather watch you take a bath.'

However, he saw Cheng Wei's fierce eyes and Tan s.h.i.+tian had to smile, quietly leaving the bathroom.

The bathtub was too big and it took time to fill the water. Cheng Wei grabbed his phone and logged into his Q account. He received a verification message from Li Cangyu.

[Old Cat has invited you to join the Miracle National Team Q group. Do you agree?]

Cheng Wei immediately agreed. He entered the group and found that Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng were the only ones present. It was obviously that many players hadn't logged into Q after returning to their rooms. He was the earliest one.

[I'm the first one!] Cheng Wei typed excitedly. [What are you doing, Cat G.o.d?]

Li Cangyu didn't reply and Ling Xuefeng voluntarily typed: [He is sorting out the training materials.]

Cheng Wei wanted to ask, "Then what are you doing?" Then he thought about it again and wasn't comfortable asking the question.

After a while, more people joined the group and the water in the bathtub was filled. Cheng Wei tested the water temperature with his hand and happily took off his clothes. He poured the essential oil into the bathtub and mixed it well.

He stepped excitedly into the bathtub and as a result, he couldn't stand up and slipped.

"Ah!" Tan s.h.i.+tian was opening his notebook computer when he heard the scream from the bathroom. He frowned and pushed open the bathroom door, asking, "What happened to you?"

He saw Cheng Wei's four feet in the bathtub and couldn't help saying, "Why didn't you grab the handrail to enter slowly?" Then he reached out and helped him up.

Cheng Wei had choked on water and his face was rode. "W-Why did you come in? I just wasn't steady!"

Tan s.h.i.+tian looked down and saw Cheng Wei's white body and slender legs. He suddenly had difficulty breathing. This guy wasn't tall but he was well-proportioned and his legs thin and white. His face was red as he lay in the bathtub. There was no need to mention how tempting he looked…

Tan s.h.i.+tian gulped and his eyes became darker.

Cheng Wei saw the other person was staring at him and his faced turned redder. He angrily asked, "What's so funny? It is the first time I've used such a big bathtub and happened to slip."

"Are you in pain?" Tan s.h.i.+tian suddenly asked.

Cheng Wei was startled and his original anger disappeared due to the gentle inquiry.

He saw Captain Tan's gentle expression and scratched his head with a bit of embarra.s.sment. "No… it doesn't hurt. I have to take a bath. You should go out first."

Tan s.h.i.+tian didn't leave but raised Cheng Wei's chin.

Their faces were so close that their breathing almost hit each other's faces. Combined with the heat in the bathroom, Cheng Wei felt his cheeks becoming hotter than before and his body was like on fire.

The next moment, Tan s.h.i.+tian leaned forward and kissed Cheng Wei.

Cheng Wei's eyes opened from shock. His legs hung stiffly over the edge of the bathtub while his hands touched Tan s.h.i.+tian's chest, trying to push him away.  The other person didn't let him go. Instead, Tan s.h.i.+tian hugged him tighter as his tongue opened Cheng Wei's teeth, pus.h.i.+ng straight in and making Cheng Wei feel dizzy.

“Um… hmm… let go… let me go…"

This was the moment that he discovered that Tan s.h.i.+tian was actually so strong. Don't look at this man's elegant and smiling appearance. He wouldn't lose to anyone when it came to actual strength.

The muscles in Tan s.h.i.+tian's arms were very tight as he hugged Cheng Wei. Cheng Wei actually couldn't break free!

“Um…"

The temperature in the bathroom was high. This kiss seemed extraordinarily long, making Cheng Wei's body burn up and his mind gradually becoming blank…

It wasn't until Cheng Wei was almost about to suffocate that Tan s.h.i.+tian let him go.

Cheng Wei opened his mouth and breathed in. Once he recovered, he immediately punched Tan s.h.i.+tian. "What are you doing?"

Tan s.h.i.+tian caught his first and smiled. "I am teaching you. You haven't studied in a long time and forgot the skills I taught you before. How can this be? After you gain a wife, will you just rub her back when bathing together?"

Cheng Wei almost spat out blood.

Since the last time when he accepted Tan s.h.i.+tian's 'teaching', Cheng Wei always felt that this teaching method was wrong. Later, the Time team's itinerary became fiercer and Tan s.h.i.+tian didn't do anything special. Cheng Wei eventually forgot about it.

As a result, today Tan s.h.i.+tian repeated his old words and kissed and kissed Cheng Wei again. Cheng Wei was shy and his toes were red. "I don't want you to teach me! Hurry up and get out. I want to take a bath!"

Tan s.h.i.+tian saw this guy's hackles were raised and despite his dissatisfaction, he knew he shouldn't be too eager. He immediately took a step back and smiled. "Okay, continue to bathe. Call me if you need me."

Cheng Wei was almost angry to death. "Who will need you? Get out of here!"

Tan s.h.i.+tian walked to the door and looked back. His eyes swept over the white body and the lips that were kissed by him. Tan s.h.i.+tian gulped and thought that one day, he would imprint himself on Cheng Wei's body.

Of course, he couldn't be too hasty with the frog being boiled in warm water. Xiao Wei was ignorant and didn't know much. Tan s.h.i.+tian couldn't do too much and frighten him!

Chapter 241 – Hot Springs Hotel (2)

Tan Cheng were bickering but the opposite room 201 was much warmer.

Lou Wushuang's cold was much better but Zhang Shaohui still wasn't at ease. As soon as he entered the room, he raised the temperature of the air conditioner by two degrees and helped his brother carefully arrange the luggage.

Lou Wushuang sat on the edge of the bed and watched his brother. The corner of Lou Wushuang's lips couldn't help curving upwards.

“I'll take a bath first." Lou Wushuang suddenly told his brother.

Zhang Shaohui turned around and said, "Then wait for me. I will give you water."

Then he diligently ran to the bathroom, opening the faucet to help his brother fill up the bath and pulling out a change of underwear from the suitcase. The pyjamas were placed on a hanger in the bathroom and he also changed the towels. Lou Wushuang had a slight cleanliness obsession and always used his own toiletries instead of the hotel supplies.

Zhang Shaohui arranged things and tested the temperature of the water. Then he went back and called Lou Wushuang. "Brother, the water is ready for you. Go and wash."

Lou Wushuang looked coldly at him from behind the lens and asked, "Aren't you going?"

Zhang Shaohui replied with a smile, "You go bathe first. I will wait for after dinner."

Lou Wushuang suggested, "Let's go together and we can save some water."

He headed to the bathroom with a cold expression, leaving Zhang Shaohui standing in place.  Lou Wushuang stood at the bathroom door and glanced at his brother. "I told you to wash up together. Why are you dawdling?"

Zhang Shaohui scratched his head. "This… cough, Brother, don't you think it is strange for two men to take a bath together?"

Lou Wushuang frowned. "Didn't we bathe when we were young?"

Zhang Shaohui sighed and quietly retorted, "That's when we were children. How old were we when we were kids? Cough, now I am so tall. Won't I squash you if we take a bath together?"

Lou Wushuang replied, "Don't you see grandfathers sharing a bath in the public baths? So what about our age? The bathtub here is large enough." He glanced at the bathtub in the bathroom, the size not disappointing him.

“Hurry up, the water is going to cool down.” Lou Wushuang pushed up his gla.s.ses and said coldly.

Zhang Shaohui had to take a change of clothes and enter the bathroom with Lou Wushuang.

Lou Wushuang calmly removed his clothes and then placed his gla.s.ses next to him. His skin was white and under the light of the bathroom, his smooth back was like good jade. His spine was straight and slightly sunken in at the waist, forming a beautiful curve.

He looked very thin but his figure was good, especially the long legs that had the proportion of a model.

Zhang Shaohui was a straightforward person and couldn't help expressing his admiration, "Your figure is very good."

Lou Wushuang kept his back to his brother. His face was slightly red but his tone was calm. "Is it? I'm not as strong as you."

Zhang Shaohui laughed. "A strong man doesn't always look good. Nowadays, girls like the lean type. I'm different. People always say that my limbs are developed but my mind is simple.

Lou Wushuang thought to himself, 'At least you don't have a simple mind and weakly developed limbs.'

He looked back and found that Zhang Shaohui had also removed his clothes. Unlike the lean Lou Wushuang, Zhang Shaohui had buff chest muscles and an eight pack. The muscles on his arms were strong and beautiful. He looked manly.

Lou Wushuang calmly extended his hand and touched the strong chest muscles. His heart was beating as quickly as a drum but he pretended to be calm on the surface. "Your figure is really good."

Zhang Shaohui was happy about being praised. "Hehe. Brother, I will help you rub your back!"

His parents died and he was taken in by distant relatives. Due to his young age, Lou Wushuang's mother wasn't comfortable with XIao Shaohui living alone and had the two boys share a room.

There was also a large bathtub in that room and the two boys often took a bath together. Zhang Shaohui would offer to rub his brother's back every day so his words were very smooth.

However, Lou Wushuang's back was obviously stiff. After a moment of silence, he nodded. "Okay."

***

The two people sat next to each other in the bathtub. Lou Wushuang felt uncontrollable and his mind was full with various types of animations…

Zhang Shaohui had an honest face. He was afraid of squeezing Lou Wushuang and deliberately moved to the side, leaning against the edge of the bathtub. He relaxed with his arm behind his head and said, "Hey, this bath is very comfortable! Once I have enough money, I will install a bit bathtub at home."

Lou Wushuang asked, "Where are you going to buy a house in the future?"

Zhang Shaohui thought about it for a moment. "I will go back to Guangzhou. After all, it is where I grew up. The prices might be high but I can buy a big house in a good suburb."

Lou Wushuang told him, "Then I'll go back to Guangzhou as well."

Zhang Shaohui actively suggested, "Why don't we buy it together? Two sets with connected doors can be discounted if they are bought together."

“…" Lou Wushuang was speechless. His intention was to live with his brother in the future. They could save money, buy a bigger house and achieve his dream of installing a large bathtub.

It was just that Zhang Shaohui was still oblivious about the situation and didn't understand.

He looked over at Zhang Shaohui. Lou Wushuang had removed his gla.s.ses so the facial features of the person in front of him weren't particularly clear, but the familiar smell of his body made Lou Wushuang feel at ease.

What would Zhang Shaohui's reaction be when he learnt that his brother had special feelings towards him?

Lou Wushuang's mood was complicated when he thought about it…

Suddenly, a warm hand touched his waist and Zhang Shaohui's voice was heard. "Turn over. I will help you wash your back."

Lou Wushuang turned stiffly and Zhang Shaohui started to actively wash his back.

Zhang Shaohui's technique wasn't bad and the strength of his fingers was good.

During their school years, they often used to rub each other's back. At this time, Lou Wushuang's thoughts were simple and he only considered Zhang Shaohui a companion. It was better than staying home alone.

When did Lou Wushuang start having a different mind? He wasn't sure. He only knew that these feelings had become deeper and deeper over the years. If he couldn't see Zhang Shaohui for a few days, his heart was uncomfortable, as if it was being hollowed out.

As the big hands slowly rubbed his back, Lou Wushuang's cheeks gradually reddened. He breathed deeply and control his body, preventing any embarra.s.sing reactions.

Zhang Shaohui noticed that Lou Wushuang's back was tight and decreased his strength. He said, "Relax Brother, I won't hurt you."

Lou Wushuang, "…"

This sentence was easy to make people think crooked thoughts. A hint of red filled Lou Wushuang's cheeks.

Zhang Shaohui helped ma.s.sage the muscles of his shoulders and said, "I checked the weather forecast. It has been raining recently so you must cover yourself with the quilt. Don't kick off the quilt again. You have loved to kick your quilt since you were young. This habit is really bad."

'If you hold me while sleeping, I won't kick the quilt…'

Lou Wushuang wanted to say this but forcibly suppressed it.

Zhang Shaohui finished rubbing his brother's back and retracted his hands. "Okay! Take a shower. There is an hour until dinner. Get some sleep first if you want."

Lou Wushuang got up from the bathtub. Zhang Shaohui saw his red face and reached out to touch his forehead. "Is the fever back?'

"…I'm warm." Lou Wushuang shook off the hand, wrapped the towel around his body, walked out of the bathroom and lay down on the bed.

When would this person open up? Did he have to confess his feelings?
