Chapter 91: Hot Spring Soak

Zhou Xian usually gets up very early each day, but who would have thought that when he came downstairs today he found Su Yun Jiao had already prepared breakfast.

Lu Jingqing has always had a good biological clock, so he woke up at this time.

When Zhou Xian saw that Su Yun Jiao had finished preparing breakfast, he immediately went to the kitchen and took the plate from her hands: "Everyone's out here to have fun, why are you still making breakfast yourself?"

Zhou Xian helped Su Yun Jiao place all the plates on the table.

Su Yun Jiao lightly shook her head and said, "I usually get up at this time, so I made breakfast early, giving everyone a chance to try my cooking."

"It would have been fine to just have the breakfast sent over from the hot spring hotel next door; having you get up this early to make breakfast for us makes me feel uneasy."

"What's the big deal? Come over and try my breakfast to see if it's good."

Zhou Tingting had wanted to sleep a little longer, but seeing everyone else already up, she felt embarrassed to stay in bed, so she went to the washroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, getting ready to get up.

By the time Zhou Tingting came out, everyone was already gathered around the table eating.

"Is it really that good? Let me try some too."

Zhou Tingting sat beside her brother, glanced at the dazzling array of breakfast items on the table, and for a moment thought she had arrived at a buffet.

Because there were many varieties, steaming, boiling, and frying were all available.

In her previous life, because Lu Chi's mother was particular, she had to make breakfast in different ways every morning when she woke up.

Zhou Tingting casually picked up a xiaolongbao, put it in her mouth, and found the taste surprisingly good.

This made Zhou Tingting a little surprised: "I thought just being able to cook was already impressive, but I didn't expect your culinary skills to be this good!"

Su Yun Jiao, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise, said, "You all eat slowly; I already ate this morning."

Lu Jingqing glanced at Zhou Xian, who was looking at Su Yun Jiao from the side.

He seemed to understand something.

Boys at this age can't hide things well.

Lu Jingqing shook his head helplessly; if Zhou Xian knew that Su Yun Jiao, that clever and mischievous girl, was basically just pretending to be cute, he didn't know whether his glasses would shatter.

At that moment, Lu Chi and Qin Xue came over from outside the villa.

Seeing these two people, Su Yun Jiao's originally good mood vanished instantly.

Really, they just won't go away.

Lu Chi and Qin Xue walked together into the villa; upon seeing the delicate breakfast spread on the table, Lu Chi said, "All of this is Su Yun Jiao's doing, right? I didn't expect your cooking to have gotten so much better."

Saying that, Lu Chi was about to sit down in his seat.

Who would have thought Su Yun Jiao would directly take away the bowl in front of Lu Chi?

Su Yun Jiao narrowed her eyes in a smile and said, "Young Master Lu must have already eaten this morning; my food surely wouldn't suit your taste, after all you yourself said before that my cooking isn't good."

Lu Chi had indeed complained before that Su Yun Jiao's food was just average.

That was because Lu Chi hadn't eaten outside food before, so he found it fresh.

But now that Lu Chi has grown tired of outside food, he has recently been constantly thinking about Su Yun Jiao's cooking.

It's just that Su Yun Jiao has moved away, so even if Lu Chi wants to eat, he can't get her cooking.

Seeing that Su Yun Jiao basically doesn't welcome Lu Chi, Qin Xue immediately felt that her opportunity had arrived.

Previously Su Yun Jiao liked Lu Chi so much, but the result was that Lu Chi basically never put Su Yun Jiao in his heart.

Now Lu Chi has instead built a good relationship with Su Yun Jiao, but Su Yun Jiao no longer likes him.

This undoubtedly gives her an opportunity.

Qin Xue said from the side, "Actually I can also make a little breakfast; Lu Chi, if you want to eat, I'll make it for you next time."

"No need."

Lu Chi's tone was flat.

This made Qin Xue, who had just been smiling, her face stiffen instantly.

It let Su Yun Jiao keenly sense that something was off.

Because Lu Chi had never before so coldly refused Qin Xue.

There must be something wrong with this.

Su Yun Jiao ate her meal while watching the melon in front of her being eaten.

She found it endlessly amusing, thinking it was extremely fun.

Lu Jingqing beside her gave Su Yun Jiao a look, indicating she should pay attention to her image.

Only then did Su Yun Jiao withdraw her gaze.

"Have you all finished eating? I'll go clean up after we're done."

Su Yun Jiao held a plate and was about to go to the kitchen, but Zhou Xian also stood up and accompanied her to the kitchen, saying, "In a moment the hotel will send someone specially to clean, so you don't need to wash the dishes here; after all, we're here to have fun."

"Okay, I know; I'm just putting these in the kitchen for now."

Su Yun Jiao nodded obediently.

Lu Chi glanced at Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Xian in the kitchen, and his inner vexation deepened further.

Zhou Xian listens to whatever he's told and still puts on such an obedient expression.

Is she Zhou Xian's dog?

Lu Chi suddenly stood up; Qin Xue beside him still didn't know why he was unhappy, but Lu Chi said, "Early in the morning, let's go soak in a hot spring together—I see the pool in this villa is pretty big."

"All right, then let's go soak in the hot spring together."

Zhou Xian likes to listen to others' opinions, mainly because Lu Chi is a guest this time.

As a guest wanting to soak in a hot spring, he won't refuse.

Zhou Tingting increasingly felt that Lu Chi had a problem with his brain—who soaks in a hot spring early in the morning? If that's not a brain issue, what is?

Lu Chi had already brought his swimsuit, while Qin Xue, thinking back to yesterday when she and Lu Chi soaked together in a hot spring, saw him refusing her now, obviously showing some resistance.

But since Lu Chi had already made the suggestion, Qin Xue could only follow along with him.

After all, Lu Chi paid for everything on this outing.

I can only follow Lu Chi and do what he wants to do.

In just a moment, everyone was already in swimsuits and had come to the backyard hot spring pool.

The hot springs here are all diverted from the mountain springs; they are said to be sulfur springs, very good for health preservation.

Moreover, the hot springs here are all the Zhou family's private baths.

Why hasn't Su Yun Jiao come over yet?

Zhou Tingting changed into her swimsuit, went into the water, and asked somewhat strangely.

Just a moment ago, when the two were changing clothes in the room, Su Yun Jiao was acting sneaky; I don't know what's going on, she hasn't taken out her clothes for a long time, and even let her come out first.

Hearing that, Lu Jingqing slightly furrowed his brows.

I'll go see what's going on.

Zhou Tingting came out of the water.

At this moment, Su Yun Jiao in the room looked at the tacky swimsuit before her and really didn't have the courage to wear it out.

If it were my previous life, I might have just worn it out without thinking.

But now... if she goes out wearing this outfit, wouldn't she be laughing her head off?
