The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

Thanks to Xu Xi's meticulous care, after a month in the sanatorium, Xu Nian's surgical scars had completely fallen off, and she was able to raise her arms above her head.

After reviewing the case, Dean Chu gave it a very high evaluation.

"Incredible, truly incredible. In all my years of performing neurological surgeries, this is the first time I've seen a patient recover so quickly and so well."

Hearing this, Xu Nian was very happy.

He couldn't help but marvel at how lucky he was.

He survived a brush with death abroad, survived another in prison, and now he has miraculously recovered his health.

Having recovered considerably, he packed his bags and left the sanatorium.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is still a place for healing and recuperation.

Even a healthy person living here feels somewhat unlucky.

"Brother, is there anywhere you'd like to go? I still have about a month to relax, so how about I take you out for a trip?"

Inside the black SUV, a girl in a snow-white dress sat in the driver's seat, looking at the man in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

"Forget it, I don't want to go anywhere."

Xu Nian rested her head on one hand, gazing at the receding scenery outside the window, a hint of longing in her eyes.

In fact, he really wanted to go out and have some fun.

Having served ten years in prison and then been effectively imprisoned for another year, the word "boredom" was practically etched onto his face.

But if he really wanted to go out and have fun, he didn't know where to go.

The city has developed so rapidly that it looks like a different place to him now.

Where can he go for fun? What's fun to do? He had no idea.

Moreover, Xu Xi's identity makes her the center of attention in public.

Having been taken care of for so long, he should be more sensible and cause Xu Xi less trouble.

Xu Xi noticed the change in his expression, smiled sweetly, stepped on the gas, and drove off in the opposite direction from home.

As the car rounded the last bend in the mountain, the outline of Qingxi Hot Spring gradually became clear in the twilight.

The white-walled courtyard with its black-tiled roof is nestled against the mountain and beside the water, gently embraced by a sea of ​​bamboo. Wisps of hot spring mist linger like a light veil between the upturned eaves.

Before you even get close, you can feel a warm, gentle sensation coming towards you.

Upon seeing the black SUV, a man in a suit eagerly jogged to the car window.

"Mr. Xu, as you instructed, our hot spring hotel has been cleared out."

"it is good."

Xu Xi nodded slightly.

Upon entering the hotel parking lot, it was completely empty.

Just as the man had said, all the guests had been asked to leave.

"It's another waste of money."

Xu Nian clicked her tongue in pain.

"It's our own business, so consider it a holiday for our employees."

Xu Xi smiled gently, casually found a parking space, parked the car, and got out of the car with the man's hand.

Xu Nian looked up at the misty mountainside and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Xiaoxi, just how big is your business? How come you own properties everywhere?"

Xu Xi smiled gently.

"It's not that exaggerated. It's only slightly better in Yuncheng. In other cities, it's basically just food delivery and e-commerce business left."

She wrapped her arms around the man's waist and said gently.

"Also, it's not my property, it's yours."

"All my shares and assets have been transferred to your name."

"Now, I am your secretary."

"Boss, remember to pay me my salary on time."

Xu Nian gave a bitter smile.

This little girl secretly took his finger to make a fingerprint while he was asleep and even imitated his signature.

I woke up to find that my bank account balance had increased by more than ten digits.

This plot is so absurd, it's unbelievable even in my wildest dreams.

Looking back now, the ten million I fought so hard to steal was really just a drop in the ocean.

Pushing open the heavy wooden lattice door, the crisp sound of wind chimes rang softly between the door lintels.

The welcoming path is paved with bluestone slabs, and on both sides are well-maintained dry landscape gardens.

The ripples created by the white sand raking resembled a tranquil lake surface, with a few stubborn rocks dotting the landscape, like distant mountains appearing and disappearing.

A waiter dressed in a plain cotton and linen uniform stepped forward with a smile and handed over two cups of warm osmanthus honey tea.

"Mr. Xu, you two must be tired from your journey. The private hot spring courtyard has been prepared for you."

His voice was gentle and soothing, like a spring.

"Tell your manager that today is a paid day off, and you should all go home and rest."

Xu Xi glanced at the servants standing in the courtyard and frowned slightly in displeasure.

"Okay, Mr. Xu."

As the servants dispersed, the courtyard fell silent, save for the gentle murmur of the stream.

Led by the girl's soft little hand, Xu Nian entered the shower room in a daze.

"You have to take a shower before soaking in the hot spring."

Xu Xi said softly, a blush creeping up her cheeks.

"Well..."

Xu Nian looked around and saw that there was only one shower room in the courtyard.

"Shall we...wash together?"

Although he had experienced that kind of thing countless times with the body in front of him, things were different now. This was not Xu Xi, but Xu Xi.

"Or what?"

The girl blushed and scolded playfully.

"I'll go wash in another courtyard."

Xu Nian avoided eye contact, picked up her bathrobe, and pushed open the shower door.

But a small hand grabbed the hem of her clothes.

"We've already...we've already done that, what's there to be shy about, brother?"

Xu Xi's voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible, like the buzzing of a mosquito.

Xu Nian swallowed, her cheeks involuntarily burning hot.

Yes, they've already gone that far. Since Xiaoxi doesn't care, why should he, a man, avoid suspicion?

He stared blankly at the girl's collar, his blush deepening.

"Turn around! You silly brother! I'll get shy if you keep looking like that!"

The girl stomped her foot, and steam seemed to rise from her head.

"oh oh!"

Xu Nian quickly turned her head to face the wall.

Hearing the rustling sounds behind him, his heart pounded as if a fawn was running wildly inside.

After a while, a warm feeling touched his back.

"Brother...why aren't you taking your clothes off?"

"Do you... want me to help you take it off?"

"Uh...no, no...I can do it myself..."

......

Inside the shower room, steam swirled, and the water vapor enveloped everything, blurring the view.

However, for Xu Nian, what he saw was not just blurry, but pitch black.

The reason was that his eyes were covered by a small hand.

"Fine, I'll take a shower. Don't even think about taking advantage of me!"

The girl gave a soft snort and covered the man's eyes tightly.

But her eyes were anything but honest.

"If you do this... I can't wash it..."

Xu Nian said weakly.

The girl pondered for a moment and looked at the bench beside her.

"Brother, lie down on top of me."

Xu Nian complied and lay down on the wooden bench.

Xu Xi conjured up a rough towel as if by magic, placed her small hands on the man's back, and vigorously rubbed it.

"hiss....!"

Xu Nian suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

What are you doing?
