After soaking in the hot spring for a while, Ye Xingbei started to feel sleepy.
Ye Xingbei rested her upper body on the pool’s edge, which the hot spring water had ward up, making it comfortably warm. Though sowhat hard, it was very smooth, and as she laid there, she actually fell asleep in the water.
When she woke up from her nap, she found a towel draped over her back, and Gu Junzhu was sitting next to her, holding her to prevent her from slipping into the pool.
She was drowsy and looked around in a daze, "What ti is it? How long have I been asleep?"
Her voice was a bit hoarse and very soft.
Gu Junzhu couldn’t help but hug her and kiss her, "You’ve slept for a little over half an hour, it’s almost ti for lunch."
"Only slept for more than half an hour? I feel like I slept for a long ti." Ye Xingbei moved her arms.
Her arms felt numb.
"That ans you just had a round of deep sleep." Gu Junzhu helped her sit up against the pool wall, massaging her arms.
Ye Xingbei stretched lazily, leaning against him, "I slept so well, I feel warm all over, and I don’t want to move at all."
Gu Junzhu chuckled softly, turned his head to kiss her, and picked up a coconut.
The coconut had been opened with two holes, one on each side, with straws inserted.
Gu Junzhu placed the coconut on a tray, and it floated in front of them. He put a straw into her mouth, "Rehydrate, or you’ll dehydrate."
"Mm." Ye Xingbei, feeling thirst from her sleep, drank eagerly as the coconut juice was like tily rain.
Gu Junzhu took the other straw and started to drink leisurely as well.
Their foreheads touching, Ye Xingbei found it amusing and nudged him with the straw, "Can’t you open another one? Why fight over it with ? What happened to your gentlemanly manners?"
"Don’t you think this is very romantic?" Gu Junzhu, their foreheads still touching, asked, "I specifically looked up hot spring tips online. They say this is one of the most romantic things for a girl during a hot spring bath!"
He rubbed the back of Ye Xingbei’s head and shook his head with a wistful sigh, "Ye Xiaobei, are you even a woman? How can you be such a killjoy?"
"Is there anyone in the world who knows better whether I’m a woman or not?" Ye Xingbei gave him a sharp look.
"True, after all..." Gu Junzhu was interrupted mid-sentence by his ringing mobile phone.
He grabbed Ye Xingbei’s hand with one hand and went for his phone with the other to check it.
Seeing him absorbed, Ye Xingbei leaned over to look, "What is it? Can I see it?"
Gu Junzhu rubbed the back of her head, "In my world, there’s nothing you can’t see."
Ye Xingbei pouted, letting out a light hum in a show of disinterest, but the sweetness in the corners of her eyes and brows couldn’t be hidden.
On Gu Junzhu’s phone was a docunt. Ye Xingbei looked through a few pages and sensed sothing was off, "What’s this? Shangguan Lang, Shangguan Fu... Who are they? I’ve never heard of them."
Gu Junzhu’s eyes were fixed on the screen as he quickly scanned the content, "Shangguan Lang is the waiter who replaced . Shangguan Fu is Shangguan Lang’s sister."
Ye Xingbei curiously asked, "Why are you investigating them?"
Gu Junzhu was succinct, "Because Xiao Chi promised to help them get justice, that’s why Shangguan Lang agreed to stand in for ."
"Oh," Ye Xingbei suddenly realized, "So Shangguan Lang is a gigolo driven to desperation by life, who had no choice but to work as a waiter?"
"Yes," Gu Junzhu said, "At the ti, the situation was unclear. I asked Xiao Chi to find a gutsy waiter willing to do anything for money. Xiao Chi found Shangguan Lang, whose sister needed a sum for surgery after a car accident. He is clean-cut and handso, with a height and build similar to mine. Xiao Chi chose him at first sight," Gu Junzhu changed the subject, "After inquiring about his situation, we found out it was his first ti, his asking price was too high, and he hadn’t found a buyer yet. Xiao Chi approached him, explained our situation a bit, and he imdiately told Xiao Chi he would do anything as long as his sister’s surgery expenses were covered, and then to help his sister seek revenge."
"Revenge?" Ye Xingbei eagerly scrolled through the phone, searching for useful information, "Was his sister hospitalized because soone hard her?"
"Not ill," said Gu Junzhu, "A car accident."
He chuckled, tapping on the phone screen, "It’s quite a coincidence... guess who Shangguan Lang’s enemy is?"
"A coincidence?" Ye Xingbei’s eyes flickered, "Could it be An Zhenglin or his wife and children?"
In Zhou City, she only knew so many people.
"Smart," Gu Junzhu snapped his fingers with pleasure, "Shangguan Lang and Shangguan Fu’s enemy are An Zhenglin’s son and daughter. I think Lou Ning will be very happy to hear this news."
Although An Qiuping and An Ruru were very unpleasant characters, Lou Ning said if they hadn’t done anything atrocious, he wouldn’t want to deal with them anymore.
Making them bankrupt and holess was already the greatest punishnt.
But now, the leverage over An Qiuping and An Ruru was willingly delivered into his hands; he couldn’t help but deal with them.
Learning this news, probably Lou Ning would be the happiest.
The An Zhenglin family can now have a reunion in prison.
