When they arrived, she had already eaten more than half of the dried fruit.

Just as she reached for a tissue to wipe her hands, Luo Yunqi in the passenger seat immediately handed her a wet wipe, saying, "Wipe your hands."

Xu Shuli paused. She had only moved her finger slightly, and Luo Yunqi was able to accurately produce what she wanted without her saying a word.

She took it, wiped her hands clean, and he opened the car door next to her, placing his hand on the roof to protect her. "Be careful."

The driver was incredibly obedient, not daring to look at the passengers for even a second the entire way. He only left after dropping them off at their destination and receiving permission.

"Thank you."

Xu Shuli got out of the car, carrying her bag in her hand. Luo Yunqi, who was following her, stared at her back when he heard her say thank you. His eyes were slightly red, as if he was sad or self-mocking. Even his usually cold and arrogant voice became a little hoarse.

"Yaoyao, you don't need to thank me."

His words, which seemed to be a monologue, made Xu Shuli feel uncomfortable. She pursed her lips and remained silent, but the knuckles of her hand holding the bag suddenly turned white.

Lin Ran and Gu Baisheng had arrived long ago. The servants at the door saw the two of them, tall and graceful, walking towards them from afar, looking like a perfect couple.

"Young Master Luo, Miss Xu, please come in. The young master and Young Master Gu are waiting inside."

"Thank you."

Xu Shuli maintained the same tone as before, polite and humble, acting appropriately. Luo Yunqi followed behind her, his face full of bitterness.

The main area of ​​the resort was bustling with activity, filled with guests. Lin Ran and Gu Baisheng stood on the second floor, surrounded by a bright and grand glass design. They crossed their arms and watched the people below with great interest.

"You're the young master, aren't you going down and see for yourself?"

Despite the joking remark, Gu Baisheng's face showed no emotion, and Lin Ran beside him found it even more amusing. "It's just an exam. If they can't even do something this simple and need me to step in, then these people can retire early."

"Young Master Lin is indeed different."

Gu Baisheng nodded in agreement, "Why haven't Yaoyao and Luo Gou arrived yet?"

"Young Master, Miss Xu and Young Master Luo have arrived."

The servant at the door of the private room opened the door, and the two looked over to see their beautiful Yao Yao and Luo Yunqi with a worried expression.

"Brother Lin Ran, Brother Sheng."

"Go down and bring up the snacks I ordered yesterday. Also, my whereabouts are only on this second floor."

"Yes, Master."

"You two are so late..." Gu Baisheng picked up the teacup, a Tang Dynasty-style white porcelain cup, the tea soup clear, bright and refreshing.

"What happened on the way? Chen Li had something to do today. I heard he was going to hold a press conference to support someone. So today it's just the four of us left."

Stand up for someone else? Who else could you stand up for?

Xu Shuli is a tea enthusiast, and her family even built a special tea room for her, complete with all kinds of rare and precious teas, tea sets, and teacups.

"Pre-Qingming Longjing tea is indeed different."

Xu Shuli took a small sip, her mouth filled with a pleasant fragrance, and her tense emotions eased somewhat at that moment.

"Our Yaoyao is still as amazing as ever," Gu Baisheng praised, glancing casually at Luo Yunqi, who was sulking and looking distressed, and was momentarily speechless.

He'll be the CEO of a big corporation in a few days, so why does he still look so lifeless?

"Old Luo, have some tea."

Luo Yunqi sat next to her, drinking cup after cup of tea. By the end, Gu Baisheng was too annoyed to even acknowledge him, rolling her eyes in exasperation. "I brought this tea. Can't you show it a little respect?"

Lin Ran chuckled to himself, thinking that Luo Yunqi deserved to be taught a lesson.

"Eat something first, and someone will take us to soak in the medicinal hot spring later. It's traditional Chinese medicine and good for your health."

Lin Ran glanced at the time and estimated that the food would be delivered soon.

"These are all snacks and desserts that the resort referenced ancient medicinal cuisine methods. The tea is the same. What do you think? Can you help me decide if they're suitable?"

They are all boys, so Xu Shuli should give her opinion on desserts and snacks.

The pudding cake melts in your mouth, and upon closer tasting, it has a surprisingly pleasant herbal flavor that isn't unpleasant but rather leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth.

Her eyes lit up as she ate it. "This is delicious. It's sweet but not cloying, melts in your mouth, and has a subtle herbal aroma."

If a girl says it's delicious, then it's 100% delicious. Lin Ran was satisfied with her praise, while Luo Yunqi, who was observing from the side, silently remembered the dessert she had just eaten.

After having a simple snack, Lin Ran made arrangements for the medicinal bath. The men's and women's pools were separated for safety and privacy, but a place for making a phone call was also left between the two pools in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Their medicinal bath pool is not in the same place as the ordinary medicinal bath pool. Going up, there is a pool with a stronger Chinese medicine aroma. It is not difficult to see that the pool is black and shiny and steaming. Just looking at it makes you feel warm inside.

Xu Shuli changed her clothes, still wearing a large bathrobe over them. There were many men on the boys' side, and it would take them a long time to change. To avoid that awkward situation, she changed her clothes and went downstairs.

It was her first time there, and she took the wrong turn, heading downstairs towards the regular hot spring baths. The bathhouse marked by a small triangular sign was right in front of her.

Separate men and women for safety and courtesy.

Xu Shuli's hand was still on the doorknob. She had only opened it a crack when she hesitated. The laughter inside didn't sound like that of a private medicinal bath.

As a result, the door was suddenly opened from the inside. Staring at each other, Xu Shuli took a half step back first and said apologetically, "Sorry, I came to the wrong place."

"Xu Shuli?"

Someone recognized her. Xu Shuli looked up slowly. She didn't know many people at school. She spent most of her time either at home or in the art studio. But she recognized the person in front of her.

He was so familiar with her that he didn't want to look at her again.

"Oh my goodness, when did our Miss Xu start sharing a hot spring bath with us? Isn't she supposed to be a high-and-mighty heiress?"

Xu Shuli's name is well-known in high society circles. Many people want to see her in person. Even though she is without makeup, she still looks gentle and dignified at each of them.

"You've gone to the wrong place."

Xu Shuli turned to leave, not wanting to say anything more, but the other party had no intention of letting her off easily.

"Miss Xu, let's not even talk about whether you've gone the wrong way. Are you alone? Are you feeling embarrassed? Well, I really need to teach you a lesson. Don't be so pretentious and fake. Look around you, Miss Xu, where are your friends? You should know when to be humble..."

"Wu Lina..."

Xu Shuli had no intention of interrupting, but she couldn't stand people stepping on her shoulders to see the outside world and then arrogantly criticizing her.
