Fortunately, it was me who fell into the lake. The water was indeed not deep, but it was only for people at my height and who knew how to swim. Although it was by the shore, the water level could already reach my neck. With Ms. Shu’s height, probably she would be completely submerged under the water. If she couldn’t swim and panicked, even if I jumped into the water to rescue her, it would not be easy.

  Shu Tong was still in shock, trembling with fear, blushing when he saw me climbing up wet, and asked embarrassedly: “Are you… okay?”


  “What do you think? !” I looked at her fiercely as if I wanted to bite her.

  Shu Tong screamed and hid behind Liusu in fright. Liusu also could not help but reprimand her, “Cousin, it’s all your fault. Now look at Nan Nan, he is soaking wet. What are we going to do?”


  This was indeed a problem. I didn’t bring any changing clothes. Realizing this, I was even angrier. This damn stupid woman…


  “Sir, are you okay?” After seeing the accident, a staff member of a resort also ran over with the colleagues of Ms. Shu.

  Anyway, I’m a big man, I’m ashamed to humiliate Shu Tong in front of everyone. Otherwise, it would only embarrass Liusu. So I could only force myself to laugh like a fool and said reluctantly, “I am fine. I just fell into the water accidentally, haha, hahaha…”


  Sure enough, everyone’s expressions suddenly became richer. Some looked at me as if they were mocking me, others looked at me as if they despised me.

  Are you fucking serious? Are these people really teachers? Don’t they have any sense of compassion at all?

  This aggravated my anger even more. I once again glared back at Shu Tong. Only now did she become quite smart. Seeing I didn’t mention that it was her fault, she gladly accepted it and didn’t stand out to clear the misunderstanding.

  Damn you. You are lucky because you are Liusu’s cousin. If it weren’t for her, I would never save you!

  I stood up laboriously, took out the wallet and mobile phone in my pocket, and asked the staff, “Do you sell any clothes here?”


  This was a stupid question. How could a fishing resort sell clothes? At most, they would probably have some souvenir T-shirts.

  “I’m sorry, sir,” the staff member smiled embarrassedly, and then said: “However, we do provide laundry service here, whether it is washing or dry-cleaning, and our guest rooms also provide pajamas…”


  You just want us to stay overnight, so we can spend more money, right? I looked down at my clothes that were still dripping with water, and sighed helplessly: “Let’s go, open a room for me.” Anyway, I have to take a shower.

  “Everyone, please keep playing, I will be leaving for a while, haha.” If I went home straight away, it would look like I was angry at Shu Tong. But it was not that I was afraid of embarrassing Shu Tong’, but that I was worried that Liusu would feel very awkward. Moreover, Chu Yuan and her friends seem to be having a lot of fun, as their ‘guardian’, I needed to stay with them as well.

  Shu Tong hurriedly said: “Um… I’ll go with you too, let me cover the cost of the room-”


  “No need” I interrupted Shu Tong before she finished speaking, making a pretentious gesture of welcoming the beautiful view of the lake with open arms, and said with a smile: “The scenery here is good, I was wondering if I should stay here for a night earlier. Hehe, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to keep it in mind. Please carry on with your guests.”


  Want to compensate me? You wish! I will not even give you the opportunity to apologize. I want to make you feel guilty forever. Muahahaha… I suddenly felt that I seemed to be really childish…


  How could Liusu not see that I was angry? She pulled the corner of my clothes, with a face that was full of embarrassment, and said with a quiet voice: “Nannan…”


  “It’s okay,” I didn’t want Liusu to get involved with my childish resentment toward Shu Tong, and signaled her to look at the people who were watching, “If your cousin covers my room cost, what would these people think? They probably would also want to stay overnight.”


  Liusu was dazed, and then cast a grateful look at me. Then, angrily, she pulled Shu Tong aside, whispering something, I saw Shu Tong acted like a child who had made a mistake, lowering her head all the time.

  Damn it! My phone was soaked in water, and it was completely finished. Fortunately, the quality of the wallet was good, and it protected my banknotes and bank cards.

  Hearing that I wanted to stay overnight, the three problematic girls headed by Chu Yuan were very excited. Under their collective pressure, I opened a luxuriously decorated and relatively spacious Japanese-style room at a price of 1,288 yuan.

  In their words, for four people, one Japanese-style room was enough, because they could sleep on the ground, but if I went for the Chinese-style room, I had to at least get two rooms. From the perspective of price and service, it was indeed much cheaper this way. However, I also knew clearly that what tempted the three girls was actually the five free hot spring bath coupons provided in the luxury suite.

  Even if it was me, who normally didn’t care about spending money, I also felt heartache this time.

  Liusu stayed by the lake to entertain Shu Tong’s so-called friend, but Shu Tong was like a tail following us behind embarrassedly. She seemed to want to find a chance to thank me. I deliberately ignored her and talked and laughed with three girls. Laughing while walking towards the room under the guidance of the staff of the resort, she couldn’t even find a chance to interrupt us.

  The buildings of the resort were all one-story bungalow-style buildings, sitting around the lake, without the compact and oppressive feeling of a big city at all. The so-called rooms were actually like a small courtyard, relaxing and elegant, and the accommodation was really first-class. Suddenly, the staff who was walking in front stopped as if stepping on a nail, causing me to almost bump into her. Just when I was about to express my dissatisfaction, I saw her bow sincerely and fearfully, “Hello, director!”


  Director? I was confused. Only then did I notice a few people hurriedly walking toward us. The leader was a tall and sturdy man, who looked more than forty years old, dressed in suits and leather shoes, with a solemn, slightly intimidating but chubby face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. If I didn’t hear the staff say “director”, I probably would have thought that he was the boss of a certain underworld gang.

  The director was obviously not approachable. He didn’t even bother to look at the staff who greeted him. He kept walking and said in a deep voice to the people behind him: “The person who is coming soon is a distinguished guest. I need all of you to stay focused. If he is not satisfied with us, then you don’t need to work here anymore!”


  Some important governor coming or what? Is there really a need to make it sound so intense? I didn’t take it seriously and urged the staff to lead the way quickly. My body was all wet, and with the breeze blowing past me, it only made me feel very cold. Sure enough, even the director was also curious about why someone would be soaking wet. But seeing the four beautiful girls around me, the eyes of several men, who looked like they had been overly indulged in wine and women, glistened at the same time.

  Whether it was the way they were looking at me or the other girls, it was obviously very impolite.

  The Customer is God, Xiao Yike said in a bad mood: “What are you looking at? Haven’t seen a man or a woman?”


  Chu Yuan was timid, she couldn’t help holding my arm tightly, and cursed in a low voice, “creep.”


  Shu Tong also frowned awkwardly, unable to bear their gaze. It was actually quite understandable that they reacted that way. In fact, if they only saw any of them, they would be surprised at best, but if four beauties were standing together, the visual shock would inevitably make people forget themselves.

  Those men also noticed their impolite gaze. However, after hearing what Xiao Yike said, they instantly became angry. I sneered and was just about to say something, Dongfang Lianren pushed me and complained, “Elder Brother Nan, there is no need to talk to them. Let’s go quickly.”


  I was dazed, but then I saw Dongfang Lianren glanced at the director coldly, her eyes were very disdainful, but even more strangely, the director was stunned by a little girl’s disdainful gaze. I always felt that his gaze seemed to be focused on the very unique beauty mark under the corner of Dongfang Lianren’s eyes, and it took a long time before he finally reacted in surprise, “You are-”


  “Elder Brother Nan, aren’t you cold?” Dongfang ignored the surprise of the director, pushed me forward, and smiled: “Hurry up, I want to see what the room looks like sooner.” After that, she secretly cast a very cold look at the director, seemingly warning the director.

  The director was stunned again, and he instantly stopped talking. Then he seemed to understand something, and gave a contrived cough, and walked away with the men behind him.

  What is going on? It seems that he and Dongfang know each other…
