Sure enough, Tang Tang was soaking in the hot spring at this moment, looking like she was enjoying herself immensely.
Xiao Feng placed the items down nearby and sat down. "Have something to eat."
"Wait, let me enjoy it. I haven't had such a relaxing soak in a hot spring for a long time," Tang Tang closed her eyes, appearing genuinely relaxed and at ease.
"Then you have to thank me properly, thank me for giving you this opportunity." Xiao Feng’s eyes couldn't be pulled away from Tang Tang's face.
Xiao Feng had seen all sorts of women, yet he was inexplicably drawn to Tang Tang. It wasn't a lecherous kind of liking, but rather as if Cupid had shot an arrow at both of them.
As Xiao Feng thought this, even just sitting there with Tang Tang, watching her enjoy herself, he felt incredibly happy.
"It seems I'm becoming more and more pathetic," Xiao Feng mused.
"Why aren't you joining me for a soak? You were the one who suggested it. Are you really that pure and scared?" Tang Tang's words carried a hint of provocation.
Upon hearing Tang Tang's remark, Xiao Feng raised an eyebrow, seeming unwilling to be looked down upon, "I'm not. I already said, I'm a man and you're a woman, so you should be the one who's scared."
Tang Tang continued to close her eyes, her tone very steady, "I don't mind. I said it's a suite, and anyone in this suite can soak in this hot spring. I accept everyone in this suite."
Xiao Feng stood up directly, took off the bathrobe he was wearing, and deliberately adopted a flirtatious demeanor, clearly intending to seduce a respectable woman.
But Tang Tang completely ignored Xiao Feng, continuing to enjoy herself with her eyes closed.
Xiao Feng was not discouraged. "Since you've said so, I won't be polite then."
With that, Xiao Feng truly entered the hot spring.
However, for the time being, Xiao Feng didn't dare to get too close to Tang Tang. At this moment, they both curled up in opposite corners.
They had been probing each other and acting indifferent even before entering the room.
Yet, now that they were in the hot spring together, both of them felt a bit sheepish. The fact that they both felt this way indicated they cared about each other, otherwise, they wouldn't be so hesitant and wouldn't dare to make any further moves.
For a moment, the hot spring became incredibly quiet, with neither of them speaking. Neither knew how to start the first sentence.
After all, Xiao Feng felt that as a man, he should take the initiative.
So, Xiao Feng looked at Tang Tang, "Um… shall we have a drink? Didn't you say you wanted something to drink earlier? I ordered some wine."
Tang Tang opened her eyes, glanced at the items nearby, and nodded.
Xiao Feng then went to pour two glasses of wine himself. Now he felt bold enough to approach Tang Tang.
Xiao Feng handed a glass of wine to Tang Tang, and then they sat side by side. They clinked glasses and began to drink.
"This wine is quite good," Tang Tang casually commented, actually trying to quickly break the awkward atmosphere between them.
Xiao Feng looked at Tang Tang, appearing somewhat surprised, "You actually know about wine?"
"What's so strange about that?" Tang Tang replied with a composed demeanor.
Xiao Feng then smiled and said, "I originally thought someone from a scholarly family like yours would be a typical young lady. To be honest, when I learned your identity, I imagined you'd have the aura of a well-bred lady from ancient times."
"Is that a compliment or an insult? 'Well-bred lady'? Are you saying I'm dignified and generous, or something else?" Tang Tang deliberately retorted.
Xiao Feng was taken aback by Tang Tang's question. He hadn't expected her to respond like that. But upon reflection, his comment about a 'well-bred lady' seemed somewhat inappropriate.
"Of course, I'm praising your beauty and grace, and also… some…" Xiao Feng spoke, looking at Tang Tang, his eyes deliberately filled with a hint of ambiguity, "some captivating and bold qualities."
This time, Tang Tang seemed a little embarrassed. Although she had had boyfriends before, this was the first time she was drinking so closely with a man, and in a hot spring, with just the two of them.
Tang Tang didn't know how to respond to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng continued to look at Tang Tang with affection, while Tang Tang pretended to be calm.
Tang Tang skillfully bypassed Xiao Feng and picked up something to eat from nearby. "The food at this place is quite good."
This time, it was very obvious that she was changing the subject.
Xiao Feng let Tang Tang change the topic, appearing nonchalant.
"Eat more if you like it."
Tang Tang continued to eat. In reality, her body was not obeying her. She didn't know what she was doing, but she suddenly felt a little shy.
Tang Tang, where did your courage go? Tang Tang inwardly wished she could slap herself.
Although Xiao Feng's face showed nothing, he was actually quite nervous. This so-called hot spring trip had another purpose for Xiao Feng, a purpose that had to be successful.
Despite having planned various speeches and how to surprise Tang Tang, Xiao Feng still couldn't decide on the best way to win her heart.
They both seemed preoccupied with their own thoughts, yet they were hiding them from each other, making sure the other wouldn't notice. In fact, neither of them truly noticed the other, as they were both engrossed in their own concerns.
"You can't soak in hot springs for too long. I want to go take a shower." With that, Tang Tang got out of the hot spring.
Xiao Feng nodded. At this moment, his mind was elsewhere, but his gaze remained fixed on Tang Tang.
Tang Tang didn't notice at first, but when she reached for her bathrobe and turned to see Xiao Feng looking at her, she blushed and quickly covered herself with the robe, "Pervert."
Tang Tang said calmly. Xiao Feng, who hadn't realized it, suddenly did and quickly averted his gaze. "I didn't mean to," Xiao Feng mumbled, looking quite wronged.
Tang Tang wrapped herself completely in the bathrobe and then stuck out her tongue at Xiao Feng, looking like a very cute and lively young girl.
Watching Tang Tang practically skip away, a warm smile involuntarily spread across Xiao Feng's face.
