"There's no need to compare hair volume with a kappa. It's much better to compare something else, like living a simple life?"
"Living a simple and honest life?" Wen Cheng asked, puzzled.
Wen Qi smiled and said, "At the very least, be a diligent person."
Wen Cheng chose to leave the chat group.
However, I must commend the hot spring developed by Yao Xingwei's family. After soaking for more than ten minutes, I felt like all the muscles in my body had been massaged.
Speaking of muscles, Wen Cheng said shyly, "Big brother, your muscles are really well-developed. I'm so envious."
Wen Qi, already used to Wen Cheng's surprising remarks, smiled calmly, "You can do that too."
Wen Cheng casually tossed her head, "I can't~"
Another president of a trash-talking association.
Wen Qi, who was used to long hours of overtime, couldn't resist these sweet temptations. The comfortable water temperature, combined with his somewhat noisy younger brother, made him subconsciously close his eyes and clear his mind.
Until my lower abdomen was touched by fingertips.
Wen Qi suddenly opened his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "Wen Cheng, what are you doing?"
Wen Cheng, who was treating the hot spring like a swimming pool, paused for a moment, but still didn't stop his doggy-paddle gestures, since he would sink if he didn't move.
"Brother Qi, I'm swimming!" Wen Cheng was particularly proud of showing off her swimming skills.
Because he was pressed against Wen Qiyou, his right hand remained in a dog-pawing position.
Wen Qi took several deep breaths, but the repeated touching of his abdomen by his fingertips made it difficult for him to keep his heartbeat at a steady level.
Then, because the next set of movements was too forceful, the swinging amplitude of the orange was slightly larger than the previous sets.
His mind was a complete blank; he'd long forgotten he was supposed to be doing a doggy-paddle swim. His arms and legs suddenly lost their rhythm. The deepest part of the hot spring only reached his shoulders, but Wen Cheng had completely forgotten that. Unable to maintain his balance, his body sank into the water. Wen Cheng genuinely thought he was drowning and thrashed about frantically.
Wen Qi frowned, his body reacting honestly before he could even get angry, quickly putting his arm into the water.
With one hand gripping Wen Cheng's right arm and the other supporting her slender waist, they lifted her out. The splashing sounds made it seem like they were playing in the water!
Wen Cheng coughed a few times suddenly, his face flushed an unnatural red. Wen Qi put him aside and supported himself, retreating to a corner to calm down.
A thousand curses ran through Wen Cheng's mind. His face was flushed, partly from the embarrassment and partly from Qi Ge. Lately, he'd naturally placed Qi Ge in the position of his elder brother, without giving it any other thought. This was the first time Wen Cheng felt he couldn't be so presumptuous anymore.
After all, Brother Qi is a man! And a very capable one at that.
Is this the legendary case of becoming arrogant because of favor, and then causing a huge disaster?
"Qi, Brother Qi, are you... cough cough cough, are you alright?" Wen Cheng had her back to Wen Qi, not daring to turn around.
Wen Qi, having calmed his racing heart, coldly rebuked, "Wen Cheng, have you ever seen anyone use a hot spring as a swimming pool?"
Wen Cheng lowered her head in shame.
"I pulled you out this time, but what about next time? How many seconds would it take you to react and save yourself in this situation?" Wen Qi's tone was more serious than ever before, because this time it concerned Wen Cheng's life!
Wen Cheng couldn't say a word because he felt that with Brother Qi around, he could stay calm.
Therefore, I forgot many things I should have remembered.
Looking at Wen Cheng, who was lying motionless by the pool, Wen Qi felt a surge of anger and helplessness.
And something so embarrassing just happened.
With a "whoosh," Wen Qi left the hot spring and went into his room without looking back.
Wen Cheng quickly climbed out and chased after him. He didn't want Wen Qi to be angry, he didn't want Wen Qi to ignore him. Since coming into this world, the most important person to him was Wen Qi. Even if his parents liked him, it wouldn't be to the extent that Wen Qi always thought of him. He should apologize for making Wen Qi angry.
"Brother Qi!" Wen Cheng called out as she chased after him, throwing herself at him before he reached the wardrobe door.
Wen Qi's eyes widened involuntarily, a tingling sensation spreading through his chest. Wen Cheng's still-wet curly fur nuzzled against Wen Qi's back, her arms encircling his abs.
Wen Qi was so stiff he dared not move.
"Wen Cheng, what are you doing?" Wen Qi tried to assert his authority as the eldest brother, but it was clearly ineffective here.
“I’m sorry,” Wen Cheng’s voice sounded muffled and slightly nasal, “I shouldn’t have treated the hot spring like a swimming pool and disregarded my own safety.”
Wen Qi's anger gradually subsided a little.
"Also, you shouldn't have touched Brother Qi's stomach without looking properly. We're both men, I understand. You don't need to feel awkward..." To show that she really hadn't thought too much about it, Wen Cheng even came up with a list of reasons.
Wen Qi's blood pressure spiked instantly.
"You don't need to say that!" Wen Qi's face darkened, wanting to push this troublemaker away.
"Hey, Wen Cheng, are you done soaking? Come and get me when you're done," Yao Xingwei pushed open the door and was so shocked by what he saw inside that he couldn't close his mouth!
If he could start his life over again, Yao Xingwei would swear that he had chosen rock-paper-scissors and won against He Haobo three minutes ago, or that he would have kept quiet about the hot springs today. In that case, his life would still be much better overall!

Chapter 41 Anger
The two people in the sticky room simultaneously turned their gaze to Yao Xingwei standing at the door.
Yao Xingwei felt more embarrassed than they were.
Wen Cheng then realized that they were both only wearing swim trunks, especially Qi Ge. Someone as shy as him definitely wouldn't be able to handle it, so she immediately let go of his hand, ran barefoot into the dressing room to grab a bathrobe, and then ran back barefoot as well.
In just three seconds, Wen Cheng grabbed the robe and was about to put it on Wen Qi, but before the robe could even reach Wen Qi, Wen Qi grabbed the bathrobe and draped it over Wen Cheng, covering his fair and radiant body. At the same time, he stood in front of Yao Xingwei's line of sight, using his own body to block most of Wen Cheng's body.
A hint of anger flashed in his eyes. "Don't you even know to take two pieces of clothing?"
Wen Cheng lowered her head, looking aggrieved, but couldn't help retorting, "We're all brothers..."
Yao Xingwei shuddered: Good brother, if you really consider someone a brother, you can't betray them like this!
Wen Qi felt his anger rising to the top of his head, and he had no time to care that there were outsiders present.
"Wen Cheng, have you forgotten what I told you?"
After Wen Qi's reminder, Wen Cheng successfully shut her mouth and stood there like a quail, not daring to move.
Wen Qi gave himself two breaths to calm his somewhat uncontrollable rationality.
Then his gaze fell on the doorway, "Looking for Wen Cheng to play games?"
Yao Xingwei jolted, his eyes darting around, not daring to look at the big shot in front of him. Then he shook his head violently. How could he talk about playing games? He couldn't afford to ruin the big shot's brother's life!
When Yao Xingwei gets nervous, his mouth tends to slur its words, "No, no, ah, I'm here to learn from Wen Cheng, I'm here to learn!"
A slight, mocking laugh drifted through the air.
Wen Cheng was so embarrassed by her stupid teammates that she couldn't lift her head. They were already twenty-four and in the workforce, what was the point of studying anymore!
After Yao Xingwei finished speaking, he realized what a stupid thing he had said. But what's said is said, and he deserved to be laughed at. But that didn't mean he had no chance to fight back, such as finding an excuse to leave this terrifying place now.
But this time, before Yao Xingwei could speak, the room's air conditioning control panel spoke up, "Go ahead, it's a rare treat to come here."
Unlike usual, Wen Qi didn't leave any room for maneuver when he said this, such as warning Wen Cheng that she had to be back by a certain time. This made Wen Cheng feel particularly uncomfortable, as if her Qi-ge wouldn't be the real Qi-ge if he didn't warn her.
“It’s a rare treat to come all this way, Brother Qi, why don’t you come with us?” Wen Cheng invited.
This time, Wen Qi avoided Wen Cheng's gaze and subconsciously focused on a corner of the room. "If I go, you guys will really turn into studying. Go and have some fun by yourself. I was just catching you. I'll soak in the water myself. I have a video conference this afternoon."
Wen Cheng's mood instantly soured.
He made Wen Qi angry twice today, and this time Qi-ge simply refused to play with him anymore...
Wen Cheng wanted to say something more, but Wen Qi left him and went to the courtyard alone. It was clear that he really didn't want to talk to her now.
Seeing that the big boss was so easy to talk to for the first time, Yao Xingwei couldn't wait to tell Wen Cheng to change her clothes and come out.
With mixed feelings, Wen Cheng casually put on the short-sleeved shirt provided by the hotel and went out with Yao Xingwei.
Yao Xingwei kept chattering in Wen Cheng's ear, asking about the specialties of the food and the unique activities available at the resort.
Wen Cheng listened absentmindedly until Yao Xingwei mentioned lunch here.
Wen Cheng asked impatiently, "Do we have to go to the hotel's private restaurant for Chinese food? I think I just saw it."
Before she could finish speaking, Yao Xingwei shattered Wen Cheng's illusions, "No, most people will choose to eat in their own rooms. Enjoying special cuisine in the hot spring is the main feature of our resort."
Wen Cheng: ....... He doesn't need this main character.
Having failed to create an opportunity for a chance encounter, Wen Cheng, like the curly hair on his head, looked completely dejected.
Yao Xingwei seemed to realize something, his expression turning somewhat strange, but he didn't speak immediately. Instead, he took Wen Cheng to call He Haobo out.
He Haobo had his eye on some of the resort's projects from the start and asked Yao Xingwei to come along and introduce them.
In fact, the resort caters to the preferences of young people, offering mostly novel games, as well as some sports such as billiards, ping pong, and board games.
Yao Xingwei, who has recently invested so much money in virtual games, is also determined to bring similar games to the resort.
Although Yao Xingwei wasn't academically gifted, his playful ideas sometimes even forced his stubborn father to admit his shortcomings.
Since the resort opened, this has been the most well-received project.
When talking about the projects he chose, Yao Xingwei regained his energy and started chattering on and on.
The remaining two people became two extremes: one was engrossed in the conversation, while the other was distracted.
When we arrived at the virtual game experience area, there were already quite a few people there. The Yao family had invested heavily in the resort this time, and they had also invested a lot in equipment. Although there were quite a few people, there were definitely spare devices. Each device had a huge projection screen to play the game in real time, making it convenient for everyone to watch.
Yao Xingwei intentionally pushed Wen Cheng up there, and taught him some basic gameplay tips, intending for Wen Cheng to recover some health and relax so he could better help them rank up later. Of course, there was also something very important.
After Wen Cheng put on her glasses, Yao Xingwei, looking furtive and with a complicated expression, pulled He Haobo aside to chat.
"I'm asking you, do you have an older brother?"
He Haobo looked speechless. "What, is it that my brother's condition is so subtle? After more than twenty years, do you still need to come and confirm it with me?"
Yao Xingwei coughed, but he didn't have time to banter with him. "Then let me ask you, would you and your brother wear the same swimming trunks and hug each other? If someone caught you, could you just pretend nothing happened?"
He Haobo shoved Yao Xingwei away abruptly, looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at a pervert, "Does the country know that your thoughts are so dangerous?"
With his brother like that, let alone taking off his shirt to hug him, even if he were wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, he wouldn't be able to bring himself to hug him. It's so hateful! All he does is try to control him with his older sister all day long!
Yao Xingwei got the answer he wanted right away, and leaned in empathy, saying, "I knew brothers wouldn't act like this, and then I saw it today."
Yao Xingwei's expression turned complicated as he said this, "I saw Wen Cheng and his older brother hugging like this."
