Stepping out of the elevator, Fang Bai glanced sideways and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't be sleeping in the same bed as you."
Chapter 41
Fang Bai's first sentence was the answer Ji Yuning wanted, but as for the second half... Ji Yuning didn't think that much about it.
However, the second half of the sentence was more effective in dispelling Ji Yuning's doubts than the first, so she didn't say anything to explain.
Fang Bai also turned his head away without saying a word.
The two arrived at the room quickly. The suite was laid out like some apartments, spacious and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a wide view, a kitchen, and a large living room.
As Fang Bai was preparing to assign rooms, Ji Yuning had already entered the side bedroom with her suitcase.
Fang Bai: "".
After tidying up briefly, Fang Bai didn't rush downstairs to play. Instead, he ordered lunch for Ji Yuning and Mu Xuerou, and then went to bed.
In the afternoon, Fang Bai woke up slowly.
She drew the curtains, but the heavy curtains let in no light, and the dim room made it impossible to tell what time it was.
With his arms limp from sleep, Fang Bai lazily sat up, propping himself up on the bed.
I took out my phone; it was 4:30 PM.
She had slept well and miraculously didn't feel hungry.
I wonder what Ji Yuning and Mu Xuerou are doing. Maybe they've already gone downstairs to play?
In addition to the hot springs, the hotel also offers many recreational activities, attracting young people to enjoy them.
Fang Bai got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and slowly opened the bedroom door. As soon as she stepped out, she saw Ji Yuning and Mu Xuerou, whom she assumed had gone downstairs to play, sitting on the carpet, hunched over the long coffee table…doing homework?!
Fang Bai was stunned, and could only sigh in his heart, "No wonder he's a top student."
Hearing the noise, Mu Xuerou looked up and asked, "Aunt Fang, are you awake?"
"Hmm." Fang Bai smoothed his messy hair. "Why did you two bring your homework with you when you came to play?"
Mu Xuerou gave a sweet smile. "Before I came, I asked Yu Ning what she wanted to bring. Yu Ning said she wanted to bring her homework, so I thought about it and brought it too. It's about balancing work and rest. My grades aren't very good to begin with, so I can't fall behind."
Is it not good?
If she remembered correctly, Mu Xuerou's grades hovered around the top five.
Isn't that good enough?
After thinking about it, Mu Xuerou was probably being compared to Ji Yuning.
Fang Bai glanced at Ji Yuning. If he didn't know what kind of person she was, he would have thought Ji Yuning was just a bookworm who only knew how to study.
Even though she had been out of the room for quite some time, Ji Yuning hadn't even lifted her eyelids.
Fang Bai's throat was a little dry from sleeping, so he opened the refrigerator and took out two bottles of drinks. He handed one of them to Mu Xuerou and then took a room-temperature bottle from the table next to him for Ji Yuning.
The bottle stood in front of the book, and Ji Yuning paused for a moment before writing down the answer she had calculated.
After the last physical examination, Fang Bai told her that Liao Li advised her to avoid cold and spicy foods, as this would effectively reduce menstrual pain.
Ji Yuning has always followed this principle.
After Fang Bai had drunk his beverage to moisten his throat, he asked, "Then why don't you go downstairs to play? You can write later after you've played."
Ji Yuning glanced at the bottle and said calmly, "Waiting for you."
Mu Xuerou chimed in, "Yes, Aunt Fang, you were asleep when I came up. I originally wanted Yu Ning to come downstairs with me for a walk, but Yu Ning said she wanted to wait for you, so we did our homework first. Now that we've finished, we can play to our hearts' content for the next few days."
Ji Yuning looked at Mu Xuerou. She didn't say she wanted to wait for Fang Bai to come together; she said she wanted to wait for Fang Bai to come together.
Fang Bai also noticed the word "want" in Mu Xue Rou's words, and raised her eyebrows in surprise to look at Ji Yuning, just as they met eyes.
The latter looked away with an expression that said, "I didn't say that."
It was completely different from what Mu Xuerou described.
For some reason, Fang Bai was suddenly charmed by Ji Yuning's cold expression, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Then I'll go wash my face to clear my head, and then we'll go downstairs."
Mu Xuerou nodded obediently: "Okay, Aunt Fang."
Hearing Fang Bai's laughter, Ji Yuning curled her fingers under the table and hummed in response after a few seconds.
Just as Fang Bai was about to turn around, he remembered something and asked, "Should we change our clothes before going downstairs?"
“Okay, I brought my clothes up,” Mu Xuerou said, turning to Ji Yuning. “Yuning, may I use your room?”
Ji Yuning lowered her eyes and said, "Mm."
After Fang Bai finished tidying up, he came out of the room and saw that Mu Xue Rou had already put away her homework, changed her clothes, and was standing in front of the sofa.
Ji Yuning was still sitting on the sofa in casual clothes. When she saw Fang Bai come out, she got up and was about to leave.
Positive and abnormal.
Fang Bai raised his hand. "Aren't you going to change your clothes?"
Ji Yuning stopped and said calmly, "I didn't."
"Huh? Yu Ning, you didn't bring a swimsuit?" Mu Xuerou stepped forward in surprise. "But I only took one, and I don't have any extras. Why don't we go downstairs and buy one?"
Fang Bai crossed his arms. "What about the set I prepared for you?"
Ji Yuning replied calmly, "I forgot to bring it."
Ji Yuning spoke frankly, but Fang Bai didn't believe her.
While packing his luggage, Fang Bai specifically instructed Wu Mei to give the swimsuit to Ji Yuning so that she could take it with her.
Should we tell her she forgot to bring it?
Perhaps Fang Bai's understanding was too obvious, because Ji Yuning pursed her lips. "I don't have to go for it—"
Before Ji Yuning could finish speaking, Fang Bai smiled at her, then turned and went back to her room.
Ji Yuning's right eyelid twitched uncontrollably. Her intuition told her that what Fang Bai was going to do back in his room was not something she liked.
Sure enough, a dozen seconds later, Fang Bai came out holding a black swimsuit with a skirt.
Fang Bai stuffed the swimsuit in his hand into Ji Yuning's arms, "Luckily, Auntie prepared an extra one for you, but I forgot to give it to you because it was in my suitcase."
Ji Yuning gripped the smooth fabric, her words choking in her throat.
A hint of mockery flashed in Fang Bai's eyes as he said to Ji Yuning, "Go change."
Fang Bai said softly, "Xiao Mu and I will wait for you outside."
Mu Xuerou chimed in from the side, "Yu Ning, you should go change quickly."
Ji Yuning: "..."
Fang Bai prepared relatively conservative swimsuits for the two of them, which were similar to short skirts.
After Ji Yuning changed into the clothes, apart from disliking their tight fit, she couldn't find any fault with them.
Ji Yuning changed her clothes and calmly walked out of the room, causing the two people in the living room to involuntarily fix their gazes on her.
Despite being stared at by the two men, Ji Yuning remained expressionless and showed no shyness at being watched.
Thanks to Fang Bai's meticulous care of Ji Yuning's diet, Ji Yuning has undergone a qualitative change compared to the Ji Yuning he first met.
Although her sallow complexion wasn't as milky white as milk, it had become a normal color and looked healthy. Her elbows and knees, which had been so thin they were practically bony, were no longer skin and bones; they had gained some flesh.
Fang Bai snapped out of his reverie at Ji Yuning's change in demeanor, his gaze falling on the clothes she had chosen. He nodded and boasted, "My taste is still pretty good."
The black color perfectly accentuated Ji Yuning's calm and composed expression, while the lace trim at her waist softened her cold and austere demeanor, adding a touch of gentleness that suited her age.
After the three of them finished getting ready, Fang Bai clapped his hands and glanced at Ji Yuning and Mu Xuerou. "Let's go, you two beauties."
Ji Yuning walked towards the door with a calm expression.
She was already used to all the praise that Fang Bai uttered, but the slightly curled fingers by her legs betrayed her true thoughts.
Mu Xuerou, who was following behind Fang Bai, blushed instantly.
Aunt Fang... actually said she was pretty... when Aunt Fang herself is clearly the prettiest of the three of them.
Fang Bai's swimsuit is the same style as Ji Yuning's, except that Ji Yuning's is black, while Fang Bai's is pure blue.
A lace trim adorned the waist; Ji Yuning's attire exuded a youthful innocence befitting her age, while Fang Bai's was that of a blooming blue enchantress.
Although the coat covered her face, Mu Xuerou could still see that Fang Bai possessed a mature charm that only adults could have, a charm that she could only envy.
The hotel has its own private hot spring.
The pool was large enough to hold more than ten people. Even after Mu Xuerou and Fang Bai got into the water, the pool was still spacious.
As her body sank into the warm pool, she felt that her hours-long flight to get here was worthwhile, and the fatigue from the journey vanished, leaving her feeling refreshed and relaxed.
During the dozen or so seconds that Fang Bai closed his eyes to savor the sensation, he heard Mu Xuerou ask in a low voice, "Yu Ning, aren't you going to take a soak?"
Fang Bai's eyelids fluttered open, and he immediately spotted the person sitting in the rest area, writing with their head down...
Write?
When did Ji Yuning receive her homework?
She didn't see anything else besides a bag for clothes before she left the house...
Fang Bai scooped up a handful of water.
Mu Xuerou was still urging Ji Yuning, "It really feels so good! Come down and try it!"
"..." Ji Yuning raised her head slightly, "In a bit."
Fang Bai smiled. Ji Yuning said she would wait a while, but she knew that was impossible.
The fact that she forgot her swimsuit was enough to prove that Ji Yuning didn't want to soak in the hot spring.
She was afraid.
