Chapter 242 – Hot Springs Hotel (3)

After Li Cangyu returned to his room, he was busy on Q, adding friends and pulling everyone into the national team group. There weren't many people who responded. Obviously most people hadn't logged into their Q account yet.

Ling Xuefeng saw him working diligently and walked over. "Is it hard being the captain?"

"I'm fine." Li Cangyu smiled. "These small things are nothing."

"Do you want me to share some of it?"

"Okay, help me sort out the contents of tomorrow's meeting." Li Cangyu handed over a stack of information. "I will start training in groups tomorrow. I have drawn up a preliminary training plan. Look at it and mark any places that need to be modified. We will discuss and finalize it."

"No problem." Ling Xuefeng moved a chair and sat next to him.

Ling Xuefeng's efficiency was very high. He made several suggestions for revisions in just 10 minutes. He had Li Cangyu look at it and after thinking for a while, Li Cangyu felt the revisions were reasonable. He nodded in agreement.

“Are you going to take a bath?" Ling Xuefeng glanced at the time. "There is still an hour until dinner."

"No, I will come back at night and take a bath. I still have some things to sort out here." Li Cangyu's eyes were still on the computer. "You can go first if you want to take a bath."

Ling Xuefeng saw his serious working face and thought that Li Cangyu was particularly handsome.

The captain of the national team was really responsible. The training started tomorrow and many players were relaxing tonight. However, Li Cangyu couldn't do that. The training program had to be settled as soon as possible and the map proposal sent by the chairman also needed to be discussed and confirmed.

“Don't work too hard.” Ling Xuefeng gently touched Li Cangyu's shoulder. "You spent the morning flying and then the afternoon on the bus. Take a bath first to relax. After dinner, I will help you sort through them."

Li Cangyu couldn't help smiling. "Will you also take a bath?"

"Yes." Ling Xuefeng glanced at the bathtub and said, "This hotel bathtub is really big. According to the size of our bodies, we can crowd together. Do you want to share a bath or take one alone…"

Li Cangyu saw Ling Xuefeng say these provocative words with his usual abstinent expression. Suddenly, he stood up and hugged Ling Xuefeng. "I want to bathe with you…"

The straightforward action made Ling Xuefeng forcible suppress his urge to kiss the other person. Ling Xuefeng patted Li Cangyu's shoulder and spoke in a hoa.r.s.e voice, "Then I will go fill up the water."

Both of them were resolute types. As Ling Xuefeng filled up the water, Li Cangyu quickly pulled out a change of clothes, not hiding the expectation on his face.

Ling Xuefeng couldn't help smiling as they headed towards the bathroom together.

***

The two people first briefly rinsed before sitting in the bathtub.

Both of them were over 1.8 meters tall so it was slightly crowded when they sat side by side. Their legs touched but Li Cangyu didn't mind. Instead, he placed his legs over Ling Xuefeng's legs and laughed. "It is strange to take a bath with someone else for the first time."

Ling Xuefeng gazed at him with deep eyes and pinched his waist. "You will adapt after a few more times."

Li Cangyu was ticklish after being pinched and moved away. He glanced into Ling Xuefeng's eyes and couldn't help leaning over to lightly kiss the other person. "During these days of training, we will bathe together every day."

He let go of Ling Xuefeng after he finished but the latter obviously wasn't satisfied. The back of Li Cangyu's head was held and he was deeply kissed.

The two men had been leading their team in the compet.i.tion for over a month. Whenever they met, it was with the ident.i.ty of an opponent. They hadn't had such close contact in a long time.

The kiss instantly ignited the flames inside them and the kiss became more intense.

Ling Xuefeng's kiss was overbearing and strong. Li Cangyu was also enthusiastic and straightforward. The temperature of the bathroom slowly increased. Once they were breathless, they reluctantly let go of each other.

Their intense heartbeats echoed in their ears and both of them had the feeling of 'I'm really lucky to fall in love with him'.

To be able to meet a lover who knew him and could stand side by side with him in the vast sea of people, wasn't this great luck?

After the short exchange, Ling Xuefeng's lips curved as he extended his arm and let Li Cangyu rest on his shoulder. He said softly, "It has been a tiring day. Bathe a bit longer."

"Yes." Li Cangyu sat with him in the bath, playing with his slender fingers.

Ling Xuefeng's hands were very beautiful. Every finger was like the creator had carefully crafted them. The bones were distinct and clearly very powerful.

They were the pair of hands that could move at extremely high speeds to destroy the G.o.ds of countless teams.

“Your hands are really beautiful." Li Cangyu praised. "These hands are priceless treasures and must be well protected. I can't wait for you to use these hands to abuse the world's top players."

Ling Xuefeng grabbed his fingers and replied, "You are the same."

Li Cangyu smiled happily. "We are actually a good match!"

Ling Xuefeng asked, "You only found out now?"

Li Cangyu faked a sad expression. "Yes, I found out a bit late. If I knew, I would've caught you when I was 18 years old."

Ling Xuefeng gently touched Li Cangyu's hair. "It isn't too late."

Anyone else who dared to touch Li Cangyu's head would be greeted with a fist to their face. However, Ling Xuefeng was different. The touch was filled with great affection. Li Cangyu rubbed Ling Xuefeng's shoulders and said, "I will wash your hair for you."

"Okay." Ling Xuefeng lowered his arms and sat down in the bathtub.

Li Cangyu immediately rose to his knees, took the shampoo from the rack, poured it into his hands and carefully applied it onto the other person's hair.

Compared to the super-hand speed used to kill opponents on the field, his fingers movements were slightly clumsy. It was obviously his first time doing this but he was very serious.

Ling Xuefeng's heart softened and he gently hugged Li Cangyu's waist.

Li Cangyu's body was actually well-proportioned. It wasn't too fat or too thin, he had a long pair of legs and his body's curvature was very beautiful. Ling Xuefeng held him and didn't want to let go.

Li Cangyu was hugged and Ling Xuefeng's hair touched his face. He spoke with dissatisfaction, "Don't make trouble. I haven't finished was.h.i.+ng your hair yet."

Then he continued was.h.i.+ng Ling Xuefeng's hair. Ling Xuefeng had to close his eyes and wait for it to be done.

A man's hair was short and could be washed quickly. After taking care of all the hair, Li Cangyu grabbed the nozzle and washed off the shampoo. Ling Xuefeng couldn't help thinking that if he hadn't bent Li Cangyu then Li Cangyu would be a super good husband for a woman.

Now such a good person was monopolized by him alone.

Ling Xuefeng's lips curved and he made Li Cangyu sit back down in the bathtub. "I will also help you wash your hair."

Li Cangyu was very happy. "Good!"

The two people washed each other's hair and exchanged loving smiles.

Li Cangyu felt that if it continued like this, he would probably shoot his load. He had to train tomorrow and couldn't let the players see… as he thought this, he jumped out of the bathtub and rubbed his body with a towel. Then he said simply, "Time is almost up. Let's go to dinner first."

Ling Xuefeng hadn't gotten up yet. Li Cangyu looked back and saw Ling Xuefeng's soft face under the lights. He couldn't help kissing the other person's forehead. "I gave you a kiss. Now it is time to get out."

Ling Xuefeng, "…"

He really liked this straightforward and enthusiastic person!

Chapter 242 – Hot Springs Hotel (4)

Xiao Han stayed with Qin Mo in order to learn Chinese. They entered the room and Qin Mo carefully observed the bathroom. Then he turned back to Xiao Han and asked, "The shower room and bathtub are separate. Do you want to take a shower or a bath?"

"Can I only choose between a shower or a bath?" Xiao Han looked doubtfully at the other person.

“Uh… you can choose both. Wash yourself with the shower first and then soak in the bathtub." Qin Mo pulled him into the bathroom and patiently explained it. "This is the switch for the shower head. The hot water is on this side and the cold water is here. The faucet for the bathtub is here. Are you going to wash up now? I will help you fill it up."

Xiao Han glanced at him. "Thank you."

Qin Mo smiled. "You're welcome. You are unfamiliar with life here and Master asked me to take care of you."

Xiao Han hurriedly asked, "What does it mean to be unfamiliar with life here?"

Qin Mo patiently explained, "In other words, you aren't familiar with the people and things here. It generally describes how a person feels when they first arrive somewhere new."

Xiao Han nodded thoughtfully, "Then in a known place, people are 'familiar with cultivated land'?"

Qin Mo almost spat out his saliva. Xiao Han, his strange brain circuits always created some inexplicable words. What was familiar with cultivated land? It wasn't so messy!

Qin Mo had a headache at Xiao Han's series eyes. He simple explained, "There is no such saying…"

Xiao Han asked, "Then what is the opposite of unfamiliar with life?"

"That…" Qin Mo grabbed his hair. He wanted to call his middle school language teacher and invite him over. Whenever Qin Mo met Xiao Han, he always felt that his vocabulary was far from enough to answer this person's strange questions!

"You take a shower first. There isn't much time. Take a shower and go to eat dinner." Qin Mo smartly changed the topic and Xiao Han didn't keep up the pestering. He grabbed his pyjamas and brought them into the bathroom.

Qin Mo consciously looked around the room as he listened to the sound of water in the shower room. His heart was a bit messy. Then he looked back and almost coughed up blood. 'Young man, could you lower the roller blinds when taking a shower?'

It was probably the first time Xiao Han had stayed in this type of hotel. He didn't notice there was a roller blind behind the transparent gla.s.s. He took off his clothes to shower, not knowing he was clearly seen by Qin Mo outside the bathroom.

Qin Mo glanced away with embarra.s.sment. A few moments later, he turned back curiously. After all, Xiao Han hadn't lowered the roller blinds so this couldn't be counted as peeking, right?

Qin Mo thought this and watched Xiao Han was.h.i.+ng up.

Xiao Han was a mixed-race child with white skin. His delicate collarbone was like carefully carved white jade. His golden hair was wet and fell softly over his ears. His eyelashes were also very long. Water fell from the nozzle and looked like diamonds on his eyelashes.

Compared to his usual cold self, the teenager taking a shower with his eyes closed looked a bit s.e.xy. It was a special s.e.xiness that came from being between a teenager and an adult. Bright water drops slid down the young man's slender body, making people unable to look away.

Qin Mo saw him was.h.i.+ng from outside the bathroom and thought that this mixed-raced child was really beautiful! The curly golden hair and long eyelashes made him look like a doll carefully crafted by the creator!

Xiao Han quickly took a shower, washed away the shower gel, wiped his body with a towel and wanted to go into the bathtub to soak in the hot springs water. As a result, he happened to meet Qin Mo's eyes.

Xiao Han, "…"

Qin Mo, "…"

Two pairs of eyes met. Xiao Han was obviously startled while Qin Mo moved his gaze with an embarra.s.sed expression.

Xiao Han wrapped himself up in a bathrobe and asked doubtfully, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Qin Mo stuttered, "N-No…"

"Then why were you looking at me?"

Qin Mo subconsciously replied, "Because you look good." Then he realized he was like an idiot and changed his words. "I haven't seen a mixed-race person shower before so I was curious."

Xiao Han replied, "Oh. Then continue to watch. This mixed-race is going to take a bath."

Qin Mo, "…"

Sure enough, Xiao Han went to the bathroom, lay down in the bathtub and comfortably took a bath. He was saying, 'I don't mind if you look.'

Qin Mo didn't look, didn't look. Finally, he went to the bathroom and pretended to calmly ask, "Cough, tomorrow your master will definitely have everyone train in a group. Do you think he will let us be in the same group?"

His mouth was saying serious things but his eyes couldn't help looking at Xiao Han soaking in the water.

Xiao Han didn't notice the other person's gaze and replied, "He should. After all, you are my sparring partner."

Qin Mo endured the urge to cough up blood. "Do you have to keep mentioning sparring partner?"

Xiao Han said, "Well, you are my good friend."

"…That is almost the same." Qin Mo smiled with pleasure and said, "There are too many G.o.ds in the national team and we still have a lot to learn. Your master might have you train in a group with Captain Lou and Vice-Captain Zhang. After all, you re a killer and will need to cooperate with their a.s.sa.s.sination tactics."

“I like Captain Lou." Xiao Han suddenly said. "It is good to train with him."

"Oh? Why do you like Captain Lou? Don't you like the vice-captain?" Qin Mo was very curious about this. Xiao Han explained bluntly, "It is because Vice-Captain Zhang looks a bit silly."

"…" Qin Mo smiled. "His mind might be simple and he isn't careful enough. However, on the field, Zhang Shaohui's intuition is quite keen and his moves are very decisive."

“That's true.” Xiao Han nodded seriously., "Which player do you like the most?"

“It is naturally my master." Qin Mo answered without hesitation. My master is calm and his hands are super fast. He often crushes his opponent in the arena, he is handsome and his popularity is first in the league."

Qin Mo's expression was full of pride but Xiao Han's words pierced it. "However, my master won against him."

"…" Old blood choked Qin Mo's chest and it felt like he was going to have a heart attack. He suddenly discovered that not only was Xiao Han's Chinese terrible, his ability to exasperate others was absolutely first-cla.s.s.

He really didn't want to debate on the issue of whose master was stronger. Qin Mo swept over Xiao Han in the bathtub and he uneasily changed the topic. "By the way, how tall are you?"

Xiao Han replied, "I'm 176 cm."

Qin Mo was happy. "I'm taller than you. I'm 178 cm."

Xiao Han glanced at him with a puzzled expression, "You didn't already know? Didn't you realize you were taller than me whenever we stood next to each other?"

It was rare to hear Xiao Han say such a long sentence without any grammatical errors. Qin Mo coughed with embarra.s.sment. "I knew… i just wanted something to talk about."

Xiao Han's lips curved at the remark. "Oh. If you want to talk, why not talk about how you entered the Wind Colour team?"

Qin Mo sat down next to the bathtub and seriously recalled it. "I used to be in the Wind Colour guild in the online game. I played with the guild masters every week in the legion defense. The president thought my level was good and called Captain Ling to come and see.  I didn't know it at the time and PKed with my master. I was abused by him…"

Xiao Han glanced sympathetically at Qin Mo. "I was also abused by my master in the online game…"

The two people looked at each other and wanted to hold each other while crying. However, one person was sitting outside the bathtub and one person was bathing inside. It wasn't convenient and they could only pat each other's shoulders in encouragement.

"Then you joined Wind Colour?"

"I first joined the training camp to practice my foundations for a month. Later, Master felt that my talent was good and accepted me as his apprentice." Speaking of which, Qin Mo had travelled a bit further than a lot of other players. He was discovered by the Wind Colour guild in the online game, joined the Wind Colour training camp, became LIng Xuefeng's apprentice and then debuted.

Of course, he also made some mistakes when he first debuted last year. In particular, he almost lost his mind after being abused by Cat G.o.d in the online game. Fortunately, he adjusted in time and his mentality matured a lot.

Xiao Han kept asking curiously, "I heard that the vice-captain of Wind Colour is very good-natured?"

Qin Mo nodded. "Yes, like your Vice-Captain Bai, Vice-Captain Yan is a very kind person. My master usually only manages the tactical arrangements of the team while Vice-Captain Yan is responsible for the daily training."

Xiao Han felt thoughtful. "It seems that Wind Colour and Canglan have a lot in common."

Qin Mo smiled. "Yes, our captains are both summoners and the vice-captains are gentle characters. There is also a little prince."

Xiao Han added, "The uniform looks like a couples outfit."

Qin Mo, "…"

Xiao Han turned his head and spoke seriously, "Thus, after a long time, we might become the strongest opponents like our masters."

After seeing the clear and bright eyes under the thick eyelashes, Qin Mo couldn't help reaching out and touching the wet blond hair. "To become the strongest opponent, you should first become better is Chinese."

Xiao Han wasn't convinced. "Your English is worse than my Chinese."

Qin Mo retorted, "I don't have to speak English here!"

"However, you won't understand anything when you go to the United States."

Qin Mo was stunned because he suddenly felt that Xiao Han's words made sense! The World Compet.i.tion was held in the United States. He wouldn't be able to understand a word when he went abroad. If he got lost then he wouldn't know how to return…

He would have to hug Xiao Han's thighs.

Qin Mo immediately smiled at Xiao Han. "Then we will learn from each other. I will teach you Chinese and you teach me English. I won't charge you tuition fees!"

He generously said he wouldn't charge tuition fees and wisely didn't mention that his master helped pay Xiao Han's tuition fees.  Xiao Han felt this exchange was fair and said, "No problem." (Eng)

Qin Mo looked dull. "Ah?"

“It means no problem." Xiao Han asked him seriously, "Qin Mo, did you graduate from your English primary school?"

"…" Qin Mo coughed and exclaimed, "I suddenly remembered something. You continue to take a bath. I am busy!"

Xiao Han watched Qin Mo's back and felt pleased. He had previously been slandered about having rotten Chinese and now he could say that Qin Mo's English was rotten.

What was this called? Evil has its retribution? Karmic retribution? Karma?

Xiao Han thought about it but couldn't find the right answer. He kept thinking about it as he lay in the comfortable bath.

***

Outside the bathroom, the beautiful sight of the mixed-race Xiao Han bathing was still in Qin Mo's head. He took a deep breath to calm down his confused thoughts. Then he opened his phone and logged into this Q account, receiving a message: [Old Cat has invited you to join the Miracle National Team Q group.

Qin Mo immediately agreed and found there were already many people in the group. Li Cangyu saw him enter and asked, [Where is Xiao Han? Isn't he logging into Q?]

[He is in the bath.]

[Tell him to add the group later. Also, don't forget the dinner time.] This was from Ling Xuefeng.

[I know Master.] Qin Mo replied.

[Everyone get ready for dinner. The time is approaching and it isn't good to eat too late.] Li Cangyu issued a reminder to @all members and immediately got their responses.

Qin Mo turned to call Xiao Han, "Eat dinne…"

He hadn't finished his words when he happened to meet Xiao Han coming out of the bathroom.

Xiao Han was walking with his head down and his head hit Qin Mo's chest. He stumbled in a dizzy manner and Qin Mo hurried to grab him, helping Xiao Han rub his head. "Sorry, I didn't see you… is it painful?"

Xiao Han shook his head. "There's no pain. I just have slightly low blood pressure."

"Then sit down and take a break." Qin Mo took him to the sofa, handing him a gla.s.s of water and a few delicately wrapped candy. "Drink some water and eat some chocolate. After you rest for a bit, we will go eat dinner."

"Yes." Xiao Han sipped the water and saw Qin Mo's worried expression. He couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry. I just took too long in the bath and my blood pressure was a bit low when I suddenly stood up. I will be fine after a while."

Qin Mo saw this laugh and felt his heart beat become faster. This youth always had a cold face so when he smiled, it made people's heart melt.
