Chapter 41 Step 2
Returning to the room after dinner, Ye Luo came knocking on Jiao Tang's door after a while, inviting him to go to the hot spring together.
"Except Teacher Li, everyone else has to go. Senior, you should go with us too. There are so many people."
Hearing that Li Jing was not going, Jiao Tang's heart skipped a beat, he covered his face and yawned: "I won't go, I'm sleepy."
Ye Luo nodded slightly disappointed: "Okay then, senior, go to bed early, I won't come over to say goodbye to you because I have an early flight tomorrow morning."
"Well, let's go back and meet again."
Jiao Tang closed the door, quickly took out his mobile phone and sent Li Jing a WeChat message. Before the message was sent, Li Jing called him first.
Looking at the names flashing on the screen, Jiao Tang couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth: "You still call the next door?"
"I heard someone knocking on your door." Li Jing's voice came from the receiver, which sounded a little lower than usual, "Ye Luo asked you to go to the hot spring?"
Jiao Tang hummed: "But I didn't agree."
In the past, he always liked to see Li Jing being jealous of him, which proved that Li Jing cared about him, but now, Jiao Tang couldn't bear to see Li Jing feel a little unhappy.
Li Jing gave him enough favors, and he also wanted to spare no effort to give back.
"Ye Luo and I are just ordinary friends." Jiao Tang explained, "We haven't been in touch for a few years, and we met again when we were recording actors. I will pay attention to keeping a friend's distance from him in the future."
"I know."
Of course Li Jing knew that Jiao Tang didn't like Ye Luo. It was obvious that Ye Luo simply worshiped Jiao Tang without any other emotions. It was very clear intellectually, but at certain times it was inevitable that he would feel a little sour in his heart.
He thought that Jiao Tang wouldn't notice these details, but he didn't expect that Jiao Tang not only noticed, but even explained it to him.
A little bit of joy spread in Li Jing's heart, and his dark eyes became extremely bright.
Jiao Tang waited for a long time to get a three-word response. He couldn't tell if Li Jing was angry, so he asked again: "Are you uncomfortable? Why don't you go to the hot spring?"
“Too many people, very noisy.”
When Li Jing's smiling voice came, Jiao Tang's ears went numb for a moment, and after a while he hesitated to say: "They probably won't be soaking for too long, and when it's a bit late, do you want to come with me?" To soak?"
The temperature on his cheeks gradually rose, and Jiao Tang buried his head in the quilt angrily before waiting for Li Jing's reply after speaking, "You don't want to go..."
"I'll go, I didn't say no."
The muffled voice reached Li Jing's ears, Jiao Tang didn't finish his sentence, but when he heard that the other party accepted the invitation, the temperature on his face soared again.
"Then... When they come back, we will go out separately, so that no one will find out. By the way, do you know where the hot spring is?"
"know."
Accompanied by Li Jing's affirmative answer, a chuckle came from the receiver.
This smile is completely different from before, with a hint of teasing.
Jiao Tang suddenly became furious: "I'm talking to you seriously, why are you laughing?"
"Jiao Xiaotang, are we really married?" Li Jing's voice was filled with obvious helplessness, and Jiao Tang was a little angry and inexplicable: "Otherwise?"
"That's good." Li Jing exhaled, "I thought we were cheating."
The last two words were like a heavy hammer, knocking Jiao Tang's eardrum to hum.
He subconsciously hung up the phone and threw the phone aside.
The phone slid from the bed to the carpet, making a muffled bang.
Jiao Tang wrapped himself in the quilt and rolled around on the bed, wrapping himself tightly from head to toe.
He heard his heartbeat clearly, very regular, but much faster than usual.
On the other end, Li Jing looked at the blacked out screen with a distinct smile on his lips.
He originally wanted to look for Jiao Tang next door, but stopped when he reached the door.
Now Jiao Xiaotang would definitely not open the door for him in the past.
Thinking of this, Li Jing sat back on the sofa, opened the chat history with Jiao Tang, scrolled up little by little, and never put down the corner of his mouth.
Jiao Tang stayed under the quilt for half an hour. He couldn't breathe before he lifted the quilt and played two games on the bed.
It was less than ten o'clock, and people who soaked in the hot springs returned to the villa one after another.
Li Jiaming's voice came from the corridor.
"Hey, what time is your flight tomorrow morning?"
"09:30." Ye Luo said, "I'm leaving for the airport at 07:30."
Li Jiaming: "We both have about the same time, I'll be with you."
Ye Luo snorted: "Then don't stay in bed, I won't wait for you if it's late."
Li Jiaming: "I know, I'm not Jiao Tang."
After hearing this, Jiao Tang wanted to hit someone, but the timing was obviously wrong now.
He waited until the door was completely quiet before turning over and getting up from the bed.
After opening the door and taking a look outside, Jiao Tang went downstairs quietly after making sure everyone had returned to their rooms.
Acting like a thief with a guilty conscience, the thief would call him an expert when he saw it.
After Jiao Tang sneaked out of the small courtyard, he leaned against the door and waited for Li Jing to come out.
It was quiet all around, and the dim street lamps hit the ground, stretching his figure long.
Worried that the shadow would reveal his traces, Jiao Tang squatted down and leaned against the fence.
As soon as he moved, Li Jing's words suddenly appeared in his mind: "I thought we were stealing love."
He didn't feel it before, Li Jing's words made him feel even more guilty.
Who can be blamed for secretly meeting each other despite being a legal couple?
He has only himself to blame.
Jiao Tang rubbed the tip of his nose, and was just about to send a message to Li Jing to ask him why he didn't come out when he heard very light footsteps coming from the garden.
He poked his head out to look into the garden.
At this time, everyone was in their own rooms, and the lights on the first floor of the villa were turned off. The leaking lights from the upstairs rooms intertwined with the dim lights in the garden.
A tall and straight figure walked towards him, his edges and corners were outlined by the not-so-bright light, like a sculpture carefully crafted by God.
It is this face, no matter how many times you look at it, it can make Jiao Tang's heart beat faster.
Li Jing walked to him and stopped: "Waiting for a long time?"
"No." Jiao Tang looked up at him, pursed his lips to suppress the small throbbing in his heart, and turned his eyes to the side, "Where is the hot spring going?"
Li Jing pointed to the right.
Jiao Tang nodded, and just as he stood up, the lights on the first floor suddenly turned on.
The light in the living room illuminated the entire garden, Jiao Tang quickly backed away, and took advantage of the opportunity to pull Li Jing to hide beside him.
The exterior wall of the villa adopts a hollow design, and they hide in the blind area where the light cannot reach, and the depression is less than half a meter wide.
In the limited space, the two stood facing each other.
The tip of Jiao Tang's nose is filled with a faint cold fragrance, which is the fragrance exclusive to Li Jing.
He raised his eyes suddenly and met a pair of dark eyes.
Li Jing looked at him without blinking, his eyes were covered with a heavy halo, Jiao Tang's heart was beating like a drum, and he looked away in a little panic.
Drooping eyes only realized that he held Li Jing's hand just now in a hurry, it seemed too deliberate to let go at this time, Jiao Tang had to pretend not to notice and continue to hold.
However, once he focused on the hand he was holding, the warmth of Li Jing's palm lingered on his fingertips, spread along his ten fingers, and spread to all limbs and bones.
Jiao Tang pursed his lips to divert his attention, thankfully the light in the corner was not too bright, which well concealed his red ears.
The lights in the living room were quickly turned off, and the surrounding light became even darker.
Jiao Tang retreated from the corner first, "Well, I was in a hurry just now."
"I know." Li Jing's voice was softer than the moonlight, and he gently shook the hand he was holding, "Let's go."
"it is good."
Jiao Tang didn't let go just now, and there is no reason to let go now, letting Li Jing lead him forward.
The street lamps stretched the figures of the two people very long, together with the overlapping hands.
The hot spring pool was not far from the villa. Jiao Tang and Li Jing took disposable bath towels, slippers and swimming trunks at the front desk.
The facilities here are particularly advanced, and even the changing room is a single room.
When he came out after changing his clothes, Li Jing was standing by the door, reading the brochure beside him.
"There are hot spring pools with different functions here, which one do you want to soak in?" Li Jing asked.
Jiao Tang picked up a booklet and opened it casually, and then closed it with a snap after seeing the contents: "Whatever you want."
There was no expression on his face, and he complained about Ji Chen thoroughly in his heart.
It's fine for Ji Chen himself to be unscrupulous, but why is the hot spring pool opened by his family so unscrupulous!
Li Jing didn't notice the suspicious blush on his face, "Then let's do this, peace of mind."
Peace of mind, regulate sleep, reduce nightmares.
Jiao Tang didn't read the detailed introduction, and nodded in agreement, as long as he didn't go to the mandarin duck pool.
After exiting the hot spring hall, the cold air rushed towards his face, Jiao Tang tightened his bathrobe tightly.
"Is it cold?" Li Jing noticed his movements, "Why don't you go back and put on your coat."
Jiao Tang shook his head: "No, it's not too far away."
The two quickly found the Pingxin Shunqi Pool according to the guidelines. Each type of hot spring pool is divided into three temperatures: high, medium and low.
"Let's choose Wen, too hot is bad for your health," Jiao Tang said.
Li Jing nodded his head and said hello.
Then the two fell into a brief silence.
To take off or not to take off, that is the question.
The two wandering eyes met in the air, and Jiao Tang coughed unnaturally: "You go down first..."
After Jiao Tang finished speaking, he moved his gaze aside, Li Jing's eyes were full of smiles, he took off his bathrobe, and stepped into the hot spring pool.
The sound of water reached Jiao Tang's ears, and after a while, he finally turned his gaze to look at the people in the pool.
In the dense mist, the skin of Li Jing's neck was also soaked in water, outlining beautiful muscle lines.
The part below the collarbone was submerged in the water, only a vague outline could be seen, and Jiao Tang's throat rolled involuntarily.
While he was looking at Li Jing, Li Jing was also looking at him.
"Why are you in a daze, come down." Li Jing's voice dispelled the messy images in his mind, just as Jiao Tang pulled the belt of the bathrobe, he found that Li Jing was still looking at him.
He blinked and stopped, "Well, how do I get down if you look at me?"
"does it matter?"
Jiao Tang: "..."
This guy definitely did it on purpose!
Jiao Tang puffed up his cheeks, and suddenly thought of something, his pupils turned slightly.
"It doesn't matter." Jiao Tang squatted down, "I'll test the water temperature first."
His fingertips dangled in the pool, then suddenly turned around in the next second, splashing water towards Li Jing.
Caught off guard, Li Jing was splashed with water all over his face.
"Jiao Xiaotang, you plot against me!" Just as he wiped the water off his face, Jiao Tang raised his hand again, and the overwhelming water was poured over again.
Li Jing was in the water, it was easier to splash Jiaotang, but he couldn't bear it, so he had to stride forward, and grabbed the troubled hand suddenly.
Jiao Tang was having a good time, was caught by Li Jing and struggled to stand up, but accidentally stepped on the slippery edge of the pool, and threw himself towards the hot spring.
The sparkling pool was shaking in front of his eyes, Jiao Tang subconsciously closed his eyes and held his breath, but was hooked by a powerful arm in the next second.
Jiao Tang's cheek bumped against his warm chest, he was stunned for a moment, until he heard a strong heartbeat in his ear.
He opened his eyes suddenly and met a wet face.
There were still drops of water on Li Jing's eyelashes, and his eyes were both helpless and funny: "Are you still making trouble?"
"No...don't make a fuss." Jiao Tang lowered his eyes, hiding his panic and said, "Let me go first."
After such a fuss, his bathrobe was almost wet, and Jiao Tang took off his bathrobe in the water.
His skin was very white, and after being moistened with water, it glowed with luster. Li Jing's eyes flicked over his slender neck, and then over his delicate and straight collarbone.
Finding a small mole on Jiao Tang's shoulder, Li Jing couldn't help but take a second look.
Jiao Tang noticed the sight on his shoulders, and slowly sank into the water, trying to cover up, "It's so cold."
Li Jing couldn't help but smiled: "Well, it's quite cold."
Jiao Tang: "The moon is so big tonight."
Li Jing: "Well, it's quite big."
Jiao Tang: "The stars are also very bright."
Li Jing: "It's quite bright."
Jiao Tang: "..."
Jiao Tang decided to end the awkward chat: "Would you like to come over here?"
Li Jing smiled again.
Jiao Tang was flustered by his smile: "I mean, this pool is very slippery, if I fall down again, you have to help me in time."
"Okay." Li Jing said and leaned closer to Jiao Tang, and took Jiao Tang's hand, "This way it won't slip."
Obviously, the two had been in love for nearly a year, and after getting back together, they became like young couples who just fell in love.
Facing Li Jing's burning eyes, Jiao Tang looked away in a panic, staring at the slightly swaying water, finally couldn't help asking the deepest doubt in his heart.
"Li Jing."
"Ok?"
"Did you marry me because you still like me?"
