Although Xia Ling was afraid of her uncle, she still couldn't help but complain like a child in the presence of her elders:

"What's going on in this hotel? We went to the hot springs, and all the lights went out halfway! It almost scared me to death!"

"It's probably a short circuit in the wires caused by the heavy snow and low temperatures. It's just a small-scale power outage. The hotel has backup power and it will be restored soon."

The man's voice was neither fast nor slow, as if he was reciting a leisurely poem, and his calmness was everywhere.

Xia Ling wowed: "Uncle, your analysis is the same as Didei's."

"oh?"

Xia Ling even pulled Ming Dai:

"I almost forgot to introduce! Dai Dai, this is my uncle and Mu. Uncle, this is my best friend, Ming Dai."

"Hello."

Ming Dai took the lead in nodding, not knowing what to call her.

The other party is actually not very old, but his calm and heavy feeling blurs the age boundary. But just because of this, if he imitates Xia Ling and calls him the same name, will it be...

Hemu saw Mingdai's dilemma and took the initiative:

"Really, Dai Dai? You can call me uncle like Xiao Ling."

"...little uncle."

He Mu hummed softly, and then his eyes fell on Xia Ling again.

"You want to go to the soup pool?"

"Yes, I'm bored in the room and want to go to the public hot spring pool. Who knows...hiss."

Xia Ling folded her arms, shivering all over due to the cold wind.

The two of them thought they could reach the hot spring pool by jogging. When they came out, they were only wearing thin bathrobes. They didn't expect to stand in the cold wind of winter for so long!

The meticulous He Mu noticed, tilted his head slightly, and the secretary who was silently following him like a shadow immediately understood and handed over the cashmere scarf that originally belonged to He Mu that was hanging between his arms.

"Only one piece, sorry." The secretary lowered his head apologetically.

"Hey, when did you come?"

"I have been standing here, Miss Xia."

"Well... give the scarf to Dede."

Xia Ling put the wool shawl on Ming Dai's shoulders without even a moment's hesitation.

Ming Dai was about to say no, but Xia Ling pressed her hand on Ming Dai's shoulder and refused to let her take it off.

Mingdai had no choice but to accept this kindness.

A cashmere scarf as soft as a cloud was draped over her shoulders, the warmth dispelled the chill and enveloped her.

"Thank you." Ming Dai said this to He Mu.

He Mu smiled and didn't care.

Instead, he said: "It should be almost time."

As soon as he finished speaking, as if in response to his words, thousands of lights gradually lit up along the corridor and in the buildings further away. The light dispelled the darkness and brought a steady stream of security.

Xia Ling sighed: "The electric light is indeed the greatest invention in the world."

As he spoke, he sniffed.

Mingdai noticed it immediately and tugged on Xia Ling's sleeve:

"Are you cold? Don't catch a cold."

Then I thought of dividing the cashmere scarf into half for Xia Ling, since the scarf is long enough anyway.

"It's okay, let's go to the soup pool first. Okay, uncle, let's go first."

"Well, have a good time."

He Mu stood there, watching Ming Dai and Xia Ling disappear at the end of the corridor.

"Sir, give me the lantern."

The secretary took the initiative to take the bamboo lantern from He Mu and prepared to put it back where it was.

The lanterns were originally hung on the wall to increase the atmosphere, so they were placed with candles and would not be affected by power outages.

He walked halfway with Mu and his secretary and saw him, so he took it off to use as a light source.

Now that the power is restored, it's time for the lantern to return to its original position.

He and Mu stood there and waited for two or three minutes before the secretary hurried back after putting out the lantern.

I don't know if he stood in the wind for a long time, but He Mu covered his mouth and coughed twice.

The secretary disagreed and was worried, and said: "Sir, you should go indoors early to be careful of aggravating cold symptoms."

He Mu shook his head: "I'm fine."

There was a slight pause in his tone, and then he suddenly said something out of nowhere:

"Did you smell a faint floral fragrance?"

"Flower scent?"

The secretary looked around blankly and sniffed hard, but he could not find the floral fragrance that He Mu mentioned.

Is it an illusion that he and Mu are alone?

"It's green plum."

He Mu's eyebrows showed a faint smile, and he pointed at the white wall not far away.

Near the base of the wall, in a corner blocked by other trees, there is a green plum tree in full bloom. Its petals are as crystal clear as translucent jade. They are dotted on the branches, but there is a strong fragrance floating in the wind.

He Mu stared at the green plum blossoms on the branch and was lost in thought for several seconds.

"gentlemen?"

"Let's go."

After many twists and turns, Ming Dai and Xia Ling finally arrived at the public hot spring area of ​​the hotel.

As Xia Ling said, the scenery here is unique and wild, there are many types of hot springs, and there is also a separate SPA area.

Because the venue is reserved, there is no one in the public hot spring pool, so Ming Dai and Xia Ling can reasonably enjoy all the resources here.

Xia Ling finally called the hotel and mentioned the power outage tonight. The other party also apologized profusely.

Xia Ling thought that this hotel had changed owners: "...forget it." You can't argue with your uncle, right?

Then I ordered two more meals and asked the hotel to arrange for a beauty therapist to come over.

While waiting, the two of them soaked in the hot spring pool.

The biting chill that I had just stood in the cold wind was gone in this dense heat.

Xia Ling conveniently took a piece of promotional material from the shelf next to it, which basically told the hotel guests what attractions and things to do in and around the hotel.

This was the first time Xia Ling saw this. She flipped through it casually and was not interested in anything else:

"This brochure says the sunrise on the mountain is beautiful. How about we get up early tomorrow to watch the sunrise?"

"Can you get up on time?"

Mingdai herself was fine, but she was more worried about Xia Ling.

Xia Ling was stunned by the question, and first checked the sunrise time tomorrow on her mobile phone.

Seeing this, he was full of confidence and immediately vowed:

"It's only seven o'clock! I will definitely get up on time tomorrow and go up the mountain to watch the sunrise!"

"It takes time to climb the mountain, plus washing up... around six o'clock?"

This time Xia Ling was silent for a few seconds, and her voice was obviously not as powerful as before.

"I will try my best."

Facts have proved that Xia Ling had a wrong understanding of herself——

The day before, Mingdai and Xia Ling went to the SPA, ate and drank enough, and took a nice bath in the hot springs, so they slept very well at night, almost without any dreams.

In the early morning of the next day, Mingdai opened her eyes before the alarm clock, and slowly sat up hugging the quilt. She turned around and saw that Xia Ling beside her was sleeping soundly under the quilt.

Ming Dai looked at the time: "Ling Ling, get up. Did we agree to watch the sunrise?"

Xia Ling buried her head deeper and muttered incoherently: "Sleep a little longer...I'll sleep a little longer..."

Mingdai was so helpless that she could only get out of bed to wash up and change clothes.

Ten minutes later, she shook Xia Ling again to wake her up.

Xia Ling slept peacefully, not moving at all.

It seems that Mingdai can only go there alone at sunrise.

I really didn’t finish writing it at two o’clock in the morning. I’ll write it again tomorrow when I get up. I’ll update it in the afternoon.

I vowed to change my routine!
Chapter completed!
