Chapter 88: Lu Chi, Don't Get Cocky

~7 min read 1,233 words

Lu Chi never thought about sharing a room with Qin Xue.

So he didn't expect Qin Xue to suddenly say that.

Qin Xue also realized she had been too abrupt, so she immediately defended herself: "I heard that each room here has an indoor or outdoor hot spring; if we each had our own room, we wouldn't be able to soak together, right?"

As soon as Qin Xue finished speaking, the front desk attendant said: "If you two want to soak together, you can also go to our outdoor hot springs; we have twenty small outdoor hot springs and two large ones, enough for two people to share, and if you haven't prepared swimwear, you can rent or buy it here."

Hearing the front desk attendant's introduction, Qin Xue couldn't laugh at all.

She definitely didn't want to have a separate room from Lu Chi.

"One room each."

After saying that, Lu Chi directly handed his bank card to the front desk attendant.

After taking the bank card, the front desk attendant began to check them in.

Qin Xue's complexion didn't look good; she had been really looking forward to this hot spring trip together.

Moreover, Lu Chi said he would take her to set off fireworks tonight.

As a result, the two of them now have separate rooms.

What about the swimwear she carefully prepared?

Furthermore, Lu Chi shows no interest in soaking in the hot springs at all.

Qin Xue still wanted to pull Lu Chi aside to discuss whether they should go to the outdoor hot springs later, but Lu Chi lightly said: "Go inside and rest first; you're tired today, we can talk about anything tomorrow."

Lu Chi's simple sentence blocked everything Qin Xue wanted to say.

But after all, this place was brought to by Lu Chi driving her, and he didn't even let her pay.

Qin Xue could only feign obedience, nodding, and took the elevator with her room key.

When she saw Lu Chi take the room key but not go up, Qin Xue asked doubtfully: "Lu Chi, aren't you coming up with me?"

"No need, my room is on the first floor."

Lu Chi's simple sentence made Qin Xue's expression worsen.

It turned out they weren't just in different rooms; they weren't even on the same floor.

In fact, Lu Chi doesn't like staying in small single rooms, so he booked a suite for himself.

Qin Xue only got a deluxe double room.

The two are quite different.

After seeing Lu Chi leave, Qin Xue could only go upstairs unwillingly.

When she reached the third floor, Qin Xue finally noticed the hotel's luxury.

This level of luxury cannot be compared to the small inn where Qin Xue stayed for Lu Chi's birthday.

Qin Xue had never been to such a luxurious hotel before; she couldn't help taking photos, preparing to edit and post them on her social circle.

Meanwhile.

Lu Chi's mind was full of the image of Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Xian sharing a room.

Su Yun Jiao has never lived outside before; how could she be living together with Zhou Xian?

Thinking of this, Lu Chi got up from bed and sent Qin Xue another message: "See you outside in five minutes."

Qin Xue received Lu Chi's message in her room, thinking he wanted to invite her to bathe together, so she happily put on her swimwear.

When Qin Xue went outside, she saw Lu Chi standing alone, without any swimwear.

Qin Xue asked doubtfully: "Lu Chi, aren't we supposed to soak in the hot springs? Why did you come out like this?"

"It's too dull for just the two of us; let's go find Zhou Xian and his group."

Seeing Lu Chi actually go to find Zhou Xian together, Qin Xue's smile instantly stiffened: "Lu Chi... this isn't very good, is it?"

Her relationship with Zhou Tingting is so tense; if they went like that, the other side would surely not give them a good face.

But Lu Chi didn't think so, saying: "Your relationship with the Zhou Family was already bad; this is a good opportunity to ease things."

Hearing that Lu Chi's words, inside and out, were all for her, Qin Xue suddenly felt that everything Lu Chi did today might have been for her.

"Is it for me?"

"... Yeah."

Lu Chi's gaze looked elsewhere.

Qin Xue, however, was convinced that Lu Chi must have done it for her, which is why he endured the trouble to come here for the hot springs.

"Okay, I'll definitely perform well later and strive to reconcile with Zhou Tingting."

After all, the Zhou Family is also wealthy; provoking them is not a good thing.

It would be better to find a way to turn them from enemies into friends.

Soon, Lu Chi followed Qin Xue to the Zhou Family's holiday villa.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw several people eating in the courtyard.

The sudden arrival of Lu Chi and Qin Xue made the laughter in the courtyard stop instantly.

Su Yun Jiao was a bit at a loss.

What is Lu Chi coming here for again?

Lu Chi led Qin Xue into the Zhou Family's courtyard and said: "We two have nothing to do, so Xiao Xue said she wants to play with you."

Qin Xue glanced at Lu Chi in surprise.

She didn't expect Lu Chi to directly use her as an excuse.

However, Qin Xue didn't want to undermine Lu Chi, so she stepped forward and said to Zhou Tingting: "Tingting, I'm really sorry about what happened before; this time I want to sincerely apologize to you, and I hope you won't be angry with me."

Qin Xue's tone was gentle.

Zhou Tingting originally didn't like Qin Xue, but Qin Xue stepped forward and said, feeling wronged: "After that incident, I also deeply realized my own mistake; I want to be friends with you, can you give me a chance to reform?"

Qin Xue's attitude appeared sincere, and Zhou Tingting was somewhat swayed.

Actually, she isn't unreasonable; Qin Xue has already said what needed to be said.

Perhaps she really knows she was wrong.

Su Yun Jiao, seeing Zhou Tingting foolishly wanting to forgive Qin Xue, stood up and said, "We've already prepared to sleep; if you want to play together, then let's do it tomorrow."

After saying that, Su Yun Jiao walked over to Zhou Tingting and gently tugged at her sleeve.

Seeing that Su Yun Jiao seemed to have something to say to her, Zhou Tingting nodded and said, "Jiao Jiao is right—we've already prepared to sleep; you can come tomorrow, and we'll discuss anything then."

"Thank you, Tingting, you're really a kind girl."

Qin Xue once again flattered Zhou Tingting as she spoke.

Su Yun Jiao couldn't stand it any longer.

Lu Jingqing, standing to the side, watched Su Yun Jiao's eye-rolling expression that seemed about to flip heavenward, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He had no intention of intervening, and Zhou Xian felt the same.

After all, this is a girls' matter; we guys shouldn't get involved.

Lu Chi stepped forward and said, "I see there are plenty of rooms here; why don't we all stay together tonight, and we can have fun together tomorrow."

Su Yun Jiao couldn't help but say, "Lu Chi, don't get carried away."
