Chapter 213 Hot Springs Are Steamy

He Xinyan gulped and put one thumb up, “That is definitely a positive term.”

Gu Yechen chuckled before eating a small bite of the food himself. 

Learning from his brother, Gu Yebei would occasionally put some food into Wu Minger’s plate now, and Wu Minger was very pleased with his improvement.

He Xinyan watched the two of them like a mom looking at her kids, and she smiled excitedly.

Noticing this, Gu Yechen leaned towards her so his lips were brushing against her ear as he whispered, “Focus on eating.”

He Xinyan shuddered slightly because her ear was very sensitive, and she nodded her head obediently.

—

After eating lunch, they returned to the hotel room. There were two rooms that were connected by a door. Gu Yechen and He Xinyan were in one, Gu Yebei and Wu Minger were in the other.

He Xinyan took out her clothes for bathing in the hot springs and laid it onto the bed. 

Then, she jumped onto the bed and began looking through her phone. A few minutes later, Gu Yechen sat down next to her on the bed and leaned down, so his head was resting on her upper legs.

He Xinyan looked down in surprise and saw that he had closed his eyes already.

From this distance, she could clearly see his perfect smooth skin, long and thick eyelashes and eyebrows, and his slightly open lips.

She smiled and rested one hand onto his hair, gently brushing through it. 

She began looking at her phone again, turning down the volume so she wouldn’t disturb his nap.

However, he wasn’t actually asleep yet. Feeling her fingers running through his hair, a small smile appeared on his face as he moved slightly to find a more comfortable position.

They stayed like this for several hours until it was time to go to the hot springs.

Gu Yechen slowly blinked his eyes open and got off of He Xinyan’s legs, which were numb from being in the same position for so long.

”Is it time to go?” Gu Yechen pulled He Xinyan onto his lap and kissed her gently on the cheek.

”Yes. . .”

”I’ll go call Yebei and Minger. You can go change.” Gu Yechen kissed her again before getting off the bed and going over to the other room.

He Xinyan grabbed her outfit and went to the restroom to change. 

She had brought a two-piece swimsuit that she had bought with Wu Minger when they were shopping together for this trip. 

There was a black bikini top and a short ruffled skirt on the bottom.

Only after putting it on did He Xinyan begin to get a little self-conscious about how much skin she was showing.

When she had tried it on with Wu Minger, she didn’t care much because they were friends, and this was how much skin a normal swimsuit was supposed to expose.

However, now, she began to feel a little worried. After all, there was a dangerous predator right outside, in the same exact room as her!

He Xinyan grabbed a large towel and wrapped it around her body, covering up her chest to the top of her legs. After tying a knot at the top so the towel wouldn’t fall, she stepped out of the bathroom.

Gu Yechen looked up from the noise, and he raised one eyebrow at the sight of He Xinyan.

He stood up and walked over, “Are you cold?”

He Xinyan wrapped her arms around herself and avoided making eye contact with him, “No. . .”

”Then why do you have a towel on?” Gu Yechen asked with a small smile.

”Well. . . actually, I am cold!” He Xinyan nodded her head and blinked a few times.

Gu Yechen’s smile widened as he walked towards the restroom, “Wait for me.”

A minute later, he had changed into a single swim truck, revealing his entire upper body. He Xinyan’s mouth fell open when she saw him and clicked her tongue several times.

”When do you even exercise? I never see you do it.” It seemed like Gu Yechen’s body was always getting better, but she rarely sees him exercise! There is no way he was just born with a naturally amazing body. . . right?

Well, by now, He Xinyan wouldn’t even be surprised if that was true. 

Gu Yechen smiled, “I sometimes do early in the morning or when I take a short break from work. Come on, let’s go.”

He grabbed onto He Xinyan’s hand and they walked out of the hotel room to find Gu Yebei and Wu Minger already waiting for them.

Gu Yebei obviously also had an amazing body since he was a celebrity, but he was more on the skinnier end of the spectrum, whereas Gu Yechen was skinny and also muscular.

The four of them rode the elevator down to the first floor and several workers escorted them out to the back of the hotel, where the hot springs were located. 

The hotel was located on a mountain, and the hot springs sat at the edge of the mountain, so you could look down to see the canyon below.

There were several different hot springs, including normal hot water, mountain water, warm water hot spring, and even a red wine hot spring filled with red wine.

Wu Minger and Gu Yebei immediately went to the red wine hot spring, and Gu Yechen and He Xinyan decided to go to the normal hot water one closest to the edge of the cliff. 

Gu Yechen stepped into the water and turned around to see He Xinyan looking back and forth between the chair and the hot spring.

She untied the knot of her towel and quickly threw it onto the chair before jumping into the hot spring.

”Ah, it’s hot!” She screamed as her body submerged into the water.

Gu Yechen chuckled and pulled her over close to him, “You realize that I can still see your body even if it’s underwater, right?”

He Xinyan looked down and indeed, the water was so clear she could make out her body.

She sighed and shrugged, “Whatever.”

They sat down near the edge with He Xinyan on Gu Yechen’s lap, facing each other. He Xinyan rested her chin onto his shoulder as she looked out at the mountain view.

It was getting dark, but the sky was filled with stars that illuminated the night.

He Xinyan moved forward a little, closer to Gu Yechen’s body, so she could look over and see how close they were to the very edge of the cliff.

When she did, she immediately pulled back. They were so close she was afraid that the hot spring would tip over and they would fall over the cliff at any moment.

She stopped looking and rested her head against Gu Yechen’s shoulder, closing her eyes.

”This feels so nice,” she muttered, and Gu Yechen nodded his head slightly.

She put her hand down onto her leg and took a deep breath of the mountain air. The silence of the night and the warmth of the hot spring was like a sleeping antidote, and He Xinyan felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

She was almost asleep when the touch of something caused her to wake up.

Something hard. . . 

Something hard at a place where it shouldn’t be. . .

He Xinyan looked up into Gu Yechen’s eyes, and her guess was affirmed when she saw his lips tightly pressed together and his eyes narrowed.

”You. . .” He Xinyan immediately pulled her hand away, which had slipped and accidentally fell onto Gu Yechen’s. . .

”You’re too close,” Gu Yechen said with a grin, his voice deeper than usual.

And indeed, she was. She was so close she could feel the unusual “object” against her leg. 

He Xinyan gasped and immediately pushed herself off, causing her to fall into the water. She stood up and wiped the water off her face and hair.

”Gu Yechen!” He Xinyan glared at him, but her face turned red right after. 

She swam over to the stairs and walked out of the hot spring and into the cold air, “I’m going to go find Minger!”

Gu Yechen watched her go with a smile and ran his fingers through his hair.

Maybe hot springs weren’t so relaxing for him. . .

—

They stayed in the hot springs for several hours before returning to their hotel rooms. He Xinyan took a shower first, and then Gu Yechen did the same as she brushed her teeth.

As He Xinyan brushed her teeth, she looked back at the shower place, which was covered by a shower curtain. However, she could still see a silhouette of Gu Yechen’s body shape.

He seemed to be washing the shampoo off of his hair at the moment, and He Xinyan instinctively gulped when her eyes landed on him.

”Ack! Ah!” He Xinyan accidentally choked on the toothpaste as she gulped and began coughing aggressively. 

The water sound immediately stopped and Gu Yechen pushed away the shower curtain, exposing his entire body.

”What’s wrong?”

He Xinyan looked up. . .
