" Hah, it would have been nice if wife came with us," said Chen Mi as he took a dip in the water and came out after a short pause, his long black hair sticking to his face only revealing his big doe-like eyes that innocently looked around. " I believe that she would have liked this as well." 

  　　" She would have liked it," agreed Shen Li as he nodded with a smile, unlike Chen Mi who let his hair lose, Shen Li had tied his hair up in a bun, only leaving two bangs that curled around his face shying away from his bun. " But you don't have to feel so bad, didn't Dong Dong say that she wanted to move to the capital in the future? We will show her this hot spring then." 

  　　" And seeing how quickly she is succeeding in her business, I think that day won't be far away," said Chu Chang with a sigh of relief as he rubbed his feet in the hot water. With his protruding belly that was getting bigger and bigger with each passing day, moving around was getting more and more tiresome, looks like he will have to start making small stops in the middle of the long journey or he will burn himself out. With his sharp eyes, he glanced at Chen Mi and smiled, " You can rest assured, you will be able to move to the capital soon and then show Yu Dong all the places that you want to all right?" 

  　　" Hmm, well that's a given," said Chen Mi before swiping his hair back wiping his slightly chubby face that seemed to have gotten a little more sharper now that he was running around eating this and that. " But what I am trying to say is that I kind of wanted to share this journey with her, like it's different when we are seeing everything together for the first time, you know?"

  　　" I know what you are talking about, Mi," said Shen Li as he swam over to Chen Mi and then turned around before resting his back against the boulder sticking out of the hot springs. His gaze raked over the tranquil bamboo room that was built around the hot spring with its roof left open and he sighed in contentment, this was what he wanted for a very long time, peace and quiet without any worries about what he was going to eat, or whether he was going to get something to eat the next day or not … then his worries escalated and became even more fanatic, like whether Yu Dong was going to hate him since he couldn't get pregnant, will she look at him if he didn't try to get closer to her? 

  　　Etc……Etc.

  　　Now that he was alone, far from everything the noise in his head seemed to have shut down a little and he could breathe in relief. " I understand that you want to share it with Dong Dong but you should think about this like this, if you see everything first then you will be able to show it to her later on, wouldn't it be nicer than that?" 

  　　" Yeah, you will be able to act as a know it all for once," teased Ye Liu and was of course splashed with hot water in the face. Chen Mi rolled his eyes as he picked the towel sitting on the raised platform and threw it at Ye Liu, " You are too much brother Liu, when have I ever acted like a know it all huh? Why do you have to say it like that?" 

  　　Ye Liu took the towel off his face and then looked at Chen Mi with a sly grin as he said, " Really? Who was the one who said that he knew the prefectural city like the back of his hand and got lost causing us to look for you for three hours?" 

  　　Earlier this morning when they arrived at the prefectural city, Chen Mi said that he has read about the city in a book and knew everything about it, both Shen Li and Ye Liu tried to stop him but the brat was too confident in the end they let him go but secretly trailed after him with one of the Chu family's guards and sure enough it didn't take long for Chen Mi to get lost and just for the sake of teaching him a lesson both Shen Li and Ye Liu came to look for him after he was done roaming around the city in for three hours.

  　　The poor mer was so scared that he forgot that with the money in his pocket he can ask anyone to drop him at the Chu house. 

  　　Chen Mi's face went red as he lowered his face in the water until only his eyes were above the water and mumbled something that sounded like 'Gulu Gulu, Gulu Gulu Gulu…' 

  　　" What?" said Ye Liu as he frowned at Chen Mi, who rolled his eyes and came up over the surface as he said, " I said, I didn't know that the city was so different from the book, how was  I supposed to know that the book was full of fake facts?"

  　　" Maybe if you bought a new version instead of relying on the old one, then you might have…" said Ye Liu with a mocking smile. " The only reason you were fooled like that was that you didn't pay attention!" 

  　　" You……" Chen Mi was mad enough to fight it off with Ye Liu but then he stopped as he smiled at Ye Liu. " You are just tetchy because you miss wife."
