There are many hot springs in Dongshan, Jiangcheng, which is known for its hot spring resort.
Located in this hot spring area, Yuquan No. 1 Villa is the private hot spring villa of the Ye family, with a tranquil and undisturbed environment.
Every time Ye Rongxu came here to visit his grandparents, he would soak in the hot springs here.
Qin Chaoyan pushed him into the indoor hot spring area. As soon as he entered the door, he felt a warm air current, which dispelled the coldness of late autumn.
The interior decoration is quite ancient. Seven or eight large and small hot spring pools are filled with misty water vapor, separated by rockery and screens.
Most of the hot spring pools are Chinese medicine health pools, and there are also two beauty pools: the rose petal pool and the milk pool.
Qin Chaoyan swept a glance across the last two hot spring pools, and his eyes fell back on Ye Rongxu without any expression.
No matter how you look at it, those two hot spring pools look like something a spoiled young master would soak in.
In fact, Ye Rongxu didn’t look at those two hot spring pools. His favorite was the fish therapy pool by the window.
Sitting by the window, you can see the late autumn scenery in the mountains. If you feel bored, you can lie by the window to get some fresh air. The small fish bumping around and touching your body are also very interesting.
Maybe people who have been bedridden for years tend to like these fresh things.
Ye Rongxu excitedly asked Qin Chaoyan to push him to the dressing room. He came in a hurry this time, and the nurse didn’t come with him, so he had to do some inconvenient things by himself.
Fortunately, when he was at home, he was used to changing and dressing by himself, and he did not like the help of the caregiver unless it was necessary.
He supported the wheelchair, sat on the soft bed in the changing room with great effort, took off his jacket, then lay flat on his body, his thin white fingers pressed on the button of his pants, just about to unfasten it, when his fingers suddenly froze.
He raised his chin slightly and turned his head to look to the right.
Qin Chaoyan stood there stiffly, motionless; his eyes were fixed on him, and something seemed to be frozen in his dark eyes.
Noticing that he was caught, he hastily looked away, his slightly long hair covering his eyes.
Being stared at like this, Ye Rongxu was also uncomfortable, blinking and asking: “Why don’t you take it off?”
Qin Chaoyan: “…”
A light red spread behind his ears, and after a while, he said in a dry voice: “Do I need to…” Take it off?
Ye Rongxu tilted his head and looked at him with difficulty. “What else? You come to watch me?”
That’s too weird.
Qin Chaoyan: “…”
“Take it off; take it off quickly.” Ye Rongxu grabbed his pants and urged him.
It feels a bit strange for one person to take it off and the other to watch. It’s not strange for both of them to take it off. Anyway, they are fake fiancees, not real lovers; it’s a brotherly relationship… No, it’s the protagonist-villain relationship.
Qin Chaoyan’s entire earlobes are now covered in a light red, but he still didn’t follow Ye Rongxu’s word.
He coughed lightly, looked away, and said, “You change here. I’ll go to the next changing room, call me if you need help.”
After saying that, he turned and walked out. His steps seemed a little hurried, as if someone were chasing him.
Ye Rongxu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was fine as long as the other party didn’t look at his changing.
After changing into a bathrobe, Ye Rongxu moved back to the wheelchair and excitedly went to the fish therapy pool.
He had a bad heart and lungs, and if his whole body was submerged in the water, he would have difficulty breathing, so he just sat by the pool and soaked his legs and feet.
Although he didn’t have much feeling in his calves, he could play with small fish in the water with his hands.
When Qin Chaoyan came out in a bathrobe, he saw Ye Rongxu sitting by the pool, catching small fish and having a lot of fun.
Perhaps because he was ill all year round and didn’t really go out, the boy’s skin was extremely fair, and those slender calves immersed in the water were so white that they seemed to glow.
Qin Chaoyan only took a look and awkwardly averted his eyes.
But when Ye Rongxu saw him coming, he happily greeted him: “Come in quickly; what are you doing?”
After saying that, he peeked at those slender, powerful, and smooth legs and secretly felt a little jealous.
Qin Chaoyan, who was about to step into the pool, noticed that he was being stared at… He paused again, hesitated, and said, “I’ll go to the other hot spring next to this one.”
The other one was the rose petal hot spring. Ye Rongxu couldn’t help but curl up his lips and say in a mischievous tone: “Oh, you want to beautify your face and keep healthy?”
Qin Chaoyan: “…”
He just said it casually and didn’t pay attention to the hot spring next to him.
But when he really wanted to soak, considering that he needed to be closer to the young master and pay attention to his condition at all times to prevent him from fainting due to lack of oxygen without anyone noticing, he hesitated for a moment and stepped into the rose petal pool.
Beauty and health are just gimmicks anyway. If you take away the petals on the surface of the water, what’s left is just ordinary hot spring water.
Seeing that he really went to soak in the rose pool, Ye Rongxu’s eyes lit up again. He quietly moved his body to the side of the rose pool, pushed the screen open with great effort, and asked with his head out: “How do you feel? Will your skin get better?”
Qin Chaoyan turned his head and looked at him with dark eyes.
Ye Rongxu immediately put on a pure expression, extremely innocent, except that the corners of his lips could not help but rise.
Qin Chaoyan’s mouth twitched slightly, and he retracted his gaze, as if he didn’t want to pay attention to him.
Ye Rongxu saw this and poked him with his hand.
When Qin Chaoyan turned his head, he immediately put on an innocent expression again.
Qin Chaoyan: “…”
He suddenly lifted up a handful of water floating with rose petals, flung it at Ye Rongxu, whose cheeks were intoxicated by the water vapor, and said at the same time, “You will know once you try it.”
Ye Rongxu hurriedly raised his arm to block the water, screaming: “No, I’m allergic to roses.”
Qin Chaoyan froze, but he knew it was fake the next moment. If Young Master Ye was really allergic to roses, there would be no rose pool here at all.
Sure enough, after the hot spring water fell on the young master’s face, it quickly rolled down into the collar of the bathrobe. Only the bright red petals were still on his face, and it didn’t cause any allergic reactions.
Ye Rongxu blinked with water droplets on his eyelashes, and there was no discomfort in breathing. He was indeed allergic to some pollen, but not to unscented roses.
But he seemed to be struck dumb by the water. When he pursed his lips, a bright red petal fell between them, perfectly caught. There was no telling whether the flower was more beautiful or the lips were more beautiful.
Qin Chaoyan was stunned for a moment. The light and shadow seemed to solidify in his dark eyes.
The phone rang suddenly, breaking the atmosphere at the moment.
Ye Rongxu came back to his senses, hurriedly spat out the petal, and glared at Qin Chaoyan.
Qin Chaoyan hastily retracted his gaze and seemingly calmly took out his phone, but a frown appeared on his face when he saw the caller.
It was Qin Qijiang.
His eyes gradually became cold, and two seconds later, he turned off the phone screen.
Seeing this, Ye Rongxu immediately forgot to settle the account and asked curiously: “What’s wrong?”
Qin Chaoyan shook his head: “Nothing.”
The phone rang again the next second.
Ye Rongxu didn’t know who was calling and thought that Qin Chaoyan didn’t want to answer the call in front of him, so he pouted and moved away, saying: “You answer it.”
Qin Chaoyan frowned and finally pressed the answer button.
Qin Qijiang’s angry questioning immediately came into his ears: “Why didn’t you answer the phone just now? Also, what’s been going on with you in school recently? If your school teacher hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t have known that you beat someone in school, and it was your big brother. What, are you getting cocky? If you don’t want to go to school…”
Qin Chaoyan’s eyes showed sarcasm, and he hung up before the other party could finish speaking.
Qin family villa, in the hall.
Qin Qijiang stared at the hung-up call with an unbelievable look in his eyes: “This bastard, he actually hung up on me?”
Qin Jingxu was sitting on the sofa next to him. The bruises on his face had faded a little. He “spoke up” for Qin Chaoyan: “Dad, he might be busy.”
Qin Qijiang got even angrier when he heard this: “What is he busy with? He doesn’t even have to go to school now. The school just called and asked him to drop out. I think he’s getting more and more promising.”
Qin Jingxu’s lips curled slightly when he heard this.
Qin Qijiang didn’t know that Qin Chaoyan couldn’t register for the college entrance examination.
Although he had previously seized Qin Chaoyan’s ID card and threatened Qin Chaoyan with the registration for the college entrance examination, his purpose was to make Qin Chaoyan give in, not that he really wanted to prevent him from taking the college entrance examination.
Although he didn’t like Qin Chaoyan, he was his son after all. It wasn’t something dignified that his son hadn’t even gone to college.
Qin Jingxu knew his father well, so it’s impossible to stop Qin Chaoyan from going to college.
In this case, it would be better for him, as an older brother, to help his younger brother choose a “good” university.
Qin Jingxu smiled and spoke again, his tone was still gentle: “Dad, don’t be too angry. In fact, it’s that big of a deal to be expelled from school. There are many universities abroad that don’t require college entrance examination scores to apply. For a family like ours, sending a child to study abroad is easy, right?”
It’s just perfect timing to send him abroad, so that Qin Chaoyan won’t compete with him for Ye Rongxu and everything he has now.
Of course, he won’t choose a good school for the other party. There are many fake universities abroad, especially those with chaotic management and students who just want to get by. It’s not impossible to develop some bad habits after studying for a few years, and then the person will be completely ruined.
He must not give Qin Chaoyan a chance to turn over.
Qin Jingxu’s lips were stained with a sneer, but he seemed to be full of kindness when he spoke: “It just so happens that I have been abroad for the past two years and I know the situation better. I can help him with references when the time comes.”
Qin Qijiang didn’t really care about whether Qin Chaoyan had studied or not. After listening, he nodded and said, “You’re right.”
Then he called Qin Chaoyan again.
This time, he called twice before he got through.
Qin Qijiang’s tone was already very impatient: “Your brother has thought of a way for you. You don’t need to take the college entrance examination; you can just go abroad to study directly. You…”
“No need.” Before he finished speaking, Qin Chaoyan’s cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
Qin Qijiang choked, and his eyes widened with anger, and he said angrily, “What do you mean no need? If you don’t go to college, what are you going to do? In the future, will you be like your mother, without any diploma, and serve people as a servant?”
Behind him, Qin Jingxu, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly clenched his hands.
Beside the hot spring pool, Qin Chaoyan held the phone tightly. While listening to Qin Qijiang’s angry voice, his eyes flashed with sarcasm and coldness.
He turned his head inadvertently, his eyes swept across the screen, and he happened to meet Ye Rongxu’s curious gaze.
For some reason, he remembered the words that the other party had comforted him with before.
That warmth seemed to melt the frost in his eyes.
When he spoke again, he said calmly, “You don’t need to worry about me. I’m going to… a “social” university.”
After that, he hung up the phone and blocked Qin Qijiang.
Qin Qijiang stared at the phone that was hung up again and was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.
“This bastard, he is simply, simply…”
Qin Jingxu knew at a glance that Qin Chaoyan had refused.
But it was also within his expectations. It was not a difficult problem. He had many ways to make the other party surrender.
Qin Jingxu sneered silently, but his tone was still like that of a good brother who cared about his younger brother. He said: “Dad, he has been rebellious since he was a child and doesn’t listen to you. This is inevitable. Don’t be too angry. But I remember that he listens to Aunt Zhang very much. Why don’t you ask Aunt Zhang to persuade him? After all, we are also doing it for his own good. This is not a bad thing.”
Qin Qijiang’s face was a little embarrassed when he heard him mention Zhang Yun, but he still nodded. “Yes, let Zhang Yun talk to him.”
But before he had time to call Zhang Yun, he received a call from Old Lady Qin.
Qin Qijiang immediately became respectful, and even when he was not in front of the old lady, he subconsciously bent his waist slightly to speak.
“Mom, what’s going on… Oh, you said Qin Chaoyan was with you… What? The engagement with the Ye family is going to be changed?” Qin Qijiang was shocked, and his body straightened unconsciously.
Qin Jingxu had just picked up a cup of coffee. His hand trembled when he heard the words, and he almost spilled it.
“And transfer Jingxu’s 5% equity to that kid?” Qin Qijiang’s voice suddenly rose, full of confusion. “Mom, what does this mean? Why so sudden? Mom, mom?”
Qin Jingxu’s coffee fell completely, his face turned pale, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
He hurriedly pressed one hand on the other, barely stopping the trembling, but he couldn’t stop the panic.
“Dad, what did Grandma say just now? What about the marriage contract change or equity transfer? Is it, is it…”
His voice was difficult.
Qin Qijiang also found it incredulous, but when he turned around and saw Qin Jingxu’s face, he was shocked: “What’s wrong with you?”
*
Beside the hot spring pool, Ye Rongxu heard who Qin Chaoyan was talking to, but after the other party hung up the phone, he still asked curiously: “Was it Uncle Qin?”
Qin Chaoyan nodded slightly.
Neither of them knew that Grandma Qin had called Qin Qijiang, and after saying this, they were silent for a while.
Ye Rongxu guessed that he might still be sad about the college entrance examination, and wanted to tell the other party that he had asked his father to help.
But he was worried that if Ye Boxuan couldn’t help, it would end up being empty talk and let Qin Chaoyan be happy for nothing.
He thought about it and finally approached the rose pool and hooked his finger towards Qin Chao Yan.
Qin Chaoyan saw it from the corner of his eye, was stunned for a moment, and moved sideways toward the other party.
Ye Rongxu leaned forward and whispered to him: “Don’t think too much for now, wait a while, I may give you a surprise.”
Qin Chaoyan turned his head after hearing it, and looked at him with some surprise.
Ye Rongxu had delicate features, and his smiling eyes were like crystal glass beads, flashing with jumping light.
Qin Chaoyan’s eyes darkened, and he could hear comfort.
His eyes fell on Ye Rongxu’s eyes, and then on his face.
His eyes were as dark as ink, like a deep pool that was unfathomable. His gaze kept staring, but at some point, he suddenly approached.
The smile in Ye Rongxu’s eyes froze, and when he saw him approaching, his body subconsciously leaned back, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
His thin arms supported the hot spring, and the more he leaned, the more his waist bent back, like a taut bow, and soon he would not be able to support it.
His eyes began to panic, and just when he was about to fall into the hot spring, Qin Chaoyan held his thin shoulder with one hand, slightly exerted force with his five fingers, and said in a low voice: “Don’t move.”
