"Brother, do we really have to go outside? I...I'm scared,"
A faint, coquettish voice drifted through the thick fog.
The trio simultaneously looked up.
"What are you afraid of? How could anyone else come to a place like this? Even if someone did, it would just be a couple. If we bump into them, we can just go somewhere else. Baby, I just want to kiss you. You've been so busy lately, I haven't had any time."
"Brother, please, please stop talking. I promise you, just one kiss, okay?"
If I'm not mistaken, the person speaking should be his younger brother and his former fiancé, who is now his brother-in-law.
Wen Cheng and He Haobo both looked at Yao Xingwei, that jinx.
Yao Xingwei expressed his injustice.
But there was only one road, and the two men were quite fast; three seconds later, the two groups successfully met.
Wen Yunyi, his arm around Qin Zhou, blushed.
Wen Cheng, He Haobo, and Yao Xingwei all looked up while holding their phones.
The air was thick with a deadly, awkward atmosphere.
When Wen Yunyi saw them, his face turned bright red, almost burning. Qin Zhou looked calm, but his eyes betrayed his panic.
Finally, it was Wen Yunyi, the bridge between the two groups, who spoke up.
As expected of the protagonist, even though his face was burning with embarrassment, he could still act as if nothing had happened and ask, "Are you here to admire the maple trees too?"
......
"Uh, yeah, playing games while admiring the maple trees, Yi Yi," He Haobo said, immediately receiving a death stare from Qin Zhou.
Startled, he immediately changed his tune, "Um, is Yunyi also here to admire the autumn leaves?"
Wen Yunyi pulled Qin Zhou and nodded quickly.
He Haobo gave an awkward laugh. "Since that's the case, we've finished enjoying the sights, so we won't bother you any longer. We'll be leaving now."
"Hey, wait a minute," Wen Yunyi suddenly called out to the trio who were about to leave.

Chapter 43 Caring
Wen Cheng stiffly turned her head. Surely they wouldn't have to watch them kiss? A forced kiss can't be sweet!
Wen Yunyi's eyes cleared temporarily. They'd already been discovered, yet they were still told to leave—didn't that just confirm that he and Qin Zhou were up to something here?!
"We've just finished exploring this area, and we're a bit unsure what to do next."
The trio's inner monologue: I think you guys know exactly what you're capable of!
Qin Zhou didn't interrupt; he could understand Wen Yunyi's words and thoughts with just a glance.
"Then?" He Haobo asked Wen Yunyi with his eyes, asking what he wanted to do.
"Let's play something together, let's make it more lively. Haobo, Xingwei, brother, you won't mind me, will you?" Wen Yunyi's eyes welled up with tears.
Upon seeing this, the Wen and Cheng brothers immediately surrendered; this was the power of bloodline suppression.
Less than three seconds later, the two of them went back the way they came and sat in the same spot again.
Wen Cheng: ...They're all traitors!
Wen Cheng walked back under Qin Zhou's gaze. This is the evil power, the suppression!
Suddenly I really miss Brother Qi, I really do!
The five people sat back down in the pavilion.
Yao Xingwei's suggestion was to play video games.
However, this suggestion was met with strong rejection from Wen Yunyi at the very first point.
Still want to play? He didn't want to continue the nightmare. "I just uninstalled the game recently, can I switch to another one?" Wen Yunyi smiled apologetically.
Qin Zhou glanced at Wen Yunyi with suspicion. Wasn't he having a good time playing in his arms yesterday? Then there must be only one reason: Wen Cheng is a tough nut to crack in this area.
But what else can you do if you don't play games?
In response, Wen Yunyi suggested quite casually, "How about we play Truth or Dare?"
Wen Cheng was taken aback. What an old-fashioned plot!
"Because I've always wanted to try, is that not allowed?" Wen Yunyi forced a smile, looking utterly pitiful.
“No problem! Playing is fine too!” Yao Xingwei was the first to step forward.
Wen Cheng turned away and covered her face. "Serves you right for being just a minor character in the book."
Despite the protagonist group's bloodline advantage, Wen Cheng decided to stay put and play this pointless game with them.
The rules of the game are simple: they choose a software roulette wheel, and whoever is landed on loses, while the other person can ask them questions or give them instructions.
After several rounds, Yao Xingwei lost the first round. Qin Zhou was the one who set the conditions. Qin Zhou had no interest in Yao Xingwei's secret, pointed to the hot spring, and demanded that Yao Xingwei do a hot spring dive. Yao Xingwei returned with a dark face and dripping wet, but his eyes were burning with fighting spirit.
That's right, he's at odds with Qin Zhou.
However, it turned out that we shouldn't target the main characters too much; the second round used the same lineup.
Qin Zhou couldn't help but chuckle, "I didn't expect this game to be so interesting."
Wen Cheng and He Haobo couldn't bear to look anymore.
The second time, Yao Xingwei did two rounds of hot spring diving. His clothes clung to his skin, and the late summer breeze was a bit cool, making him shiver involuntarily.
The third time, Yao Xingwei attempted three rounds of hot spring diving. With each subsequent "plop, plop, plop" as he plunged into the water, Yao Xingwei abandoned his pride.
"No, no, no, no, this isn't fair! Why is it always me? Change seats!" Yao Xingwei absolutely refused to sit in that seat.
Then, very unfairly, he pushed Wen Cheng into that position.
Wen Cheng: Thank you, my good brother.
The fourth time, Wen Cheng was pointed at, and Wen Yunyi was on the other end.
"I knew it!" Yao Xingwei was even happier this time than if he were the one giving the orders.
Wen Cheng stared speechlessly at the idiot in front of her, her face filled with murderous intent.
He Haobo, still retaining a shred of humanity, patted Wen Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Don't argue with an idiot. Next time it's you again, I'll switch seats with you."
At this moment, Wen Cheng finally realized who her true brother was. Overjoyed, she gave He Haobo a hug. Yao Xingwei, the big idiot, also came over for a hug, but Wen Cheng rejected him with a look of disgust. Then, He Haobo handcuffed Yao Xingwei and took him away.
Wen Yunyi, on the other side, couldn't understand why Wen Cheng could become so close to the two of them in such a short time. He himself had put in a lot of effort to become good friends with the two of them.
"Then I'll choose Truth or Dare, Yunyi, you decide." Wen Cheng kept flirting with Wen Yunyi. They were brothers, and given his good behavior lately, Wen Yunyi definitely wouldn't want him to jump into the hot spring.
It took Wen Yunyi a while to come to his senses. He smiled very amicably. Of course, he wouldn't just give an order like Qin Zhou did. Choosing this game wasn't something he was just playing for fun.
"Then, brother, can you call Big Brother down to play with us? We've all come out to play, but we haven't seen Big Brother come out of his room. Big Brother likes you, he'll definitely come down, right?"
Yao Xingwei: Why does it feel like this round is still punishing him? Can he go back? He'd be willing to jump into the hot spring a few more times!
Wen Cheng's eyes widened. Such a good thing?
He suddenly felt that the game wasn't so bad after all.
"Then I'm going!" Wen Cheng stood up and walked outside excitedly, almost jumping as she went.
The remaining Qin Zhou & Yao Xingwei: Happiness belongs to others, it has nothing to do with them...
Wen Cheng returned to her room with practiced ease, only to realize that she hadn't brought her room key. Thinking of her still somewhat angry brother Qi, Wen Cheng nervously pressed the doorbell.
Ten seconds passed, and no one opened the door.
Hmm? Brother Qi, did you go out for lunch?
Wen Cheng wanted to take out her phone to make a call, but strangely realized she hadn't brought it with her. It was only a five or six-minute walk from here to the pavilion. Having been here for over a month, Wen Cheng realized she was really becoming more and more of a good-for-nothing.
Too lazy to go down any further, Wen Cheng pressed the doorbell a few more times, unwilling to give up.
When no one responded, Wen Cheng turned around disappointedly to go back to get her phone, but just then the door opened.
Just as Wen Cheng was about to give Qi Ge, who opened the door, a little brotherly bear hug, she saw an unfamiliar face. He was wearing a dark blue bathrobe, his face was flushed pink, and he had an androgynous face. His skin was so white that it reflected light. There was a blood mole on his left cheek, which added to his eerie look. He was incredibly attractive!
It looks just like that, no matter how you look at it.
Wen Cheng's mind suddenly went blank, and she felt her blood rushing backward. Her first instinct was to check if she had gone to the wrong room.
But 1450 is indeed his room number.
"You, you, did you go to the wrong place?"
The boy looked at him like he was a patient, "1450, you didn't go to the wrong place, did you?"
Wen Cheng was instantly enraged, her curly hair practically standing on end in anger. "I paid for this room! This is my room!"
The boy, seeing someone so brazenly trying to scam him for the first time, laughed. "Well, I did get paid, so how come I've never seen you before?"
......
Wen Cheng froze, his earlier agitation vanishing instantly, replaced by a sudden stinging sensation in his nose. He'd only been gone a short while, just played a few rounds of games, and Brother Qi was already...
The boy hadn't expected Wen Cheng to become so aggrieved so quickly, and she looked like she was about to cry at any moment. His arrogant demeanor vanished instantly. He couldn't stand seeing anyone cry, especially someone like Wen Cheng, who had such an endearing appearance that a slight pout would melt anyone's heart.
"Don't cry, I'm just telling the truth. I only saw one customer soaking in the hot spring when I went in,"
“That’s my brother,” Wen Cheng said, her voice slightly nasal.
The boy immediately became embarrassed, scratching his head awkwardly, a hint of unease creeping onto his usually aloof face. "Oh, I see. Then I made a mistake," he said, stepping aside to let Wen Cheng in.
The boy felt guilty, realizing he might have made him cry, and added, "I'm sorry about earlier. Do you need any services? I can come back again."
The warmth of orange pupils is like an earthquake; are there really model workers like this in this industry now?
But he was very angry. He went inside and muttered, "There's no need for that!"
"Bang!"
The door was slammed shut the next moment.
