Chapter 71: A Couple's Hot Spring?
Chapter 71: A Couple's Hot Spring?
The two went to the restaurant on the seventh floor for a simple Western meal, then ordered a cup of coffee and leisurely sat in the lounge area to enjoy the sea view.
Zhang Jianjian then remembered something and asked, "I remember there was no follow-up to your album deal with Lin Wanxing. Did you reach an agreement?"
Chen Yuan was taken aback; he had indeed almost forgotten about this matter.
"The discussion stopped there. It's not that a deal was reached, but rather that Lin Wanxing couldn't make the decision on her own, so it was temporarily shelved."
"Are you really confident?" Zhang Jianjian asked, looking at him.
"Really? Maybe one album will make her a superstar," Chen Yuan said seriously.
Zhang Jianjian was stunned, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "So what do you think of me? I mean, my singing."
"..."
"You're interested?" Chen Yuan asked in surprise.
"It's not impossible. There are plenty of actors and singers crossing over into other fields these days," Zhang Jianjian said quietly, then began to think seriously, seemingly genuinely considering the feasibility of the idea.
At 2 PM, they returned to the sixth floor and went to the Sky Garden. Next, the task of riding the double swing was left to be completed.
The two arrived at the platform outside and were stunned when they saw the so-called suspended swing.
"What would happen if we didn't grab on and swung down?" Zhang Jianjian asked.
"It's covered in bruises and purple spots," Chen Yuan said solemnly.
Zhang Jianjian was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and immediately shook his head, "I think we should forget about this collection of cards."
A staff member laughed and said, "Don't worry, we'll put seatbelts on you. You won't fly out. This has never happened before since we opened."
"Moreover, this is one of the must-try activities on our Starship, and it's also the final challenge for the two of you to collect cards."
"Want to give it a try?" Zhang Jianjian asked Chen Yuan.
"Should we just give up?" Chen Yuan hesitated for a long time, still feeling scared.
"Okay." Zhang Jianjian sighed upon hearing this. She felt a little regretful but wanted to give it a try and was very curious.
Seeing her sigh, Chen Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "Since we're already here, it would be a shame not to give it a try. We've all ridden roller coasters before, and this isn't any more dangerous."
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Jianjian chuckled, nodding in agreement.
Soon, the two carefully sat down. After the staff fastened their seat belts and implemented various safety measures, they reminded them, "Now we're going to help you. Please enjoy yourselves."
Before they could react, the staff behind them pushed the swing forcefully.
The next moment, Chen Yuan felt as if he was about to ascend to heaven, his vision shifting from horizontal to upward.
"Hiss~~"
"Oh my god, that's scary." Chen Yuan's palms were sweaty, and he gripped Zhang Jianjian's shoulder tightly with one hand.
"Ah~"
"It hurts." Zhang Jianjian frowned, then looked down, and the scene turned into the two of them holding each other's shoulders, praying with their eyes closed.
A minute felt like a year to the two of them. The moment the swing stopped, Chen Yuan felt his legs go weak.
As for the scenery the staff mentioned, he didn't see any of it.
"Is it...done?" Zhang Jianjian asked the staff member tremblingly.
"Okay, all done." The staff member smiled, took the card, stamped it, and then handed Zhang Jianjian a movie ticket and a double hot spring ticket.
Looking at the two coupons in his hand, Zhang Jianjian felt that he had gotten a little something back.
I then went to a bookstore and ordered a coffee to calm my nerves.
With an hour to go before the movie started, the two, having nowhere else to go, decided to continue reading in the bookstore/cafe.
It wasn't until 3 p.m. that the two arrived at the movie theater on this floor.
As Chen Yuan watched the film being shown while having his ticket checked, he exclaimed in surprise, "A horror movie?"
"Ah!" Zhang Jianjian was stunned. "I thought it was going to be a romance movie?"
"I thought it would be an action movie."
"It shouldn't be scary, right?" the two muttered to themselves as they went inside.
Then, ten minutes later, Chen Yuan and Zhang Jianjian's screams echoed through the movie theater.
When the two came out of the movie theater, it was already dusk. They were dejected and inexplicably angry. After a busy day, all they got was a little over an hour of fright.
Zhang Jianjian lay down on the sofa and said weakly, "I'm angry. I feel like the production team messed with me all day."
"..." Chen Yuan smiled helplessly. Whether he said it or not, this was something the production team was capable of doing. The next moment, he struggled to sit up. "At least the hot springs are waiting for us, aren't they?"
"Ah, right!" Zhang Jianjian's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
So the two headed straight to the eighth floor to have lunch first, where they saw Lin Wanxing and Shen Zhici.
However, the other party was dining at another restaurant, so Chen Yuan and Zhang Jianjian did not disturb them, and the atmosphere at the other party was strangely quiet.
After finishing their meal, the two came out of the restaurant and saw Lin Wanxing and Shen Zhici still sitting there. Zhang Jianjian said, "Let's go soak in the hot springs. After a long day, a bath is the best thing to do."
"Mmm!" Chen Yuan agreed wholeheartedly.
The two arrived and left in a flurry, leaving Lin Wanxing and Shen Zhici stunned.
"Is it Chen Yuan and Zhang Jianjian?" Lin Wanxing asked Shen Zhici, who was standing to the side.
"It's them." Shen Zhici nodded.
"Are they having so much fun today?" Lin Wanxing asked enviously.
"..."
Sixth floor, hot spring bathhouse...
Chen Yuan and Zhang Jianjian skipped and hopped over here. After handing the voucher to the staff for verification, they followed the staff inside with expectant looks on their faces.
The staff led the two to the door of a wooden cabin.
"This must be it, let's go!" Zhang Jianjian said excitedly, pushing open the door and walking in with Chen Yuan. A few seconds later, the two of them backed out.
"Um?"
"A private hot spring for couples?"
"Would you provide disposable bath underwear?"
"Forehead?"
Chen Yuan and Zhang Jianjian looked at the sign at the door, exchanged bewildered glances, and asked a staff member nearby, "Can't we soak them separately?"
"No, that's not possible. This is a private hot spring experience for two people," the staff member said with a smile.
"....."
"Want to soak again?" Chen Yuan asked after a moment of silence.
"Actually, if we think of this as swimming, wouldn't it be better?" Zhang Jianjian stammered.
"Hmm, that makes sense!" Chen Yuan thought about it and felt less embarrassed.
"Let's go check out the clothes they provide." Zhang Jianjian was unwilling to give up and was very eager to take a bath.
Chen Yuan paused for a moment, then followed him inside.
The two checked the disposable clothes provided and, seeing that they weren't the overly revealing kind, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shall we take a bath then?"
"Bubble, we're already here, how can we let ourselves be taken advantage of?"
Soon, the room quieted down, and the two of them went into a fitting room.
A short while later, Chen Yuan was the first to come out of the fitting room. He was shirtless and wearing boxer shorts. He stood in front of the full-length mirror, looked at himself carefully, and muttered, "Not bad, it's about the same as swim trunks."
"Shall I go in first?" Chen Yuan called out to Zhang Jianjian's fitting room.
"Hmm..." came Zhang Jianjian's voice from the fitting room.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan pushed open the inner door and went inside. The next moment, he was stunned by the bathing environment.
An open-air hot spring with a sea view—wow, the scenery alone is enough to make you feel relaxed.
The hot spring was steaming. Chen Yuan stretched out his foot to test the water temperature, and then jumped in.
Then, with a satisfied look on his face, he exclaimed, "Awesome!!"
