According to the address in the message, Xu Miaomiao, who put on a black T-shirt and casual clothes, stopped in front of a five-story building with ostentatious decoration. She looked up blankly at the flamboyant and fancy LED sign above and fell into philosophical thinking about life.
:Who am I, where am I, and what do I want to do.
The time now is eight o'clock in the morning, the sun is shining high on the street, and pedestrians are passing by. Where Xu Miaomiao looks up, the LED art light sign of Spring Earthworm and Autumn Snake is hung high in the most conspicuous place on the five-story building.
Anyone passing by on the street has to turn around and take a look, clearly recognizing the words in his heart and reading them silently:
【Xi Luck Overseas Chinese Health Club for Seniors】
The LED light signs with artistic characters are not connected to the power supply, but just by looking at these flying LED hanging lights, you can imagine how rustic the colorful lights that bloom when the power is turned on will be when night falls.
Anyone with eyes and brains can guess what kind of place this is, a holy place that old men are fascinated by, a happy home for young people, and a hidden pit that all women hate. A five-story building with a "Healthy Water Club" sign on the top is in the local area, or
It is said that it has a nickname across the country: Bathing Center (Foot Washing City).
Earthy? Earthy is correct.
Xu Miaomiao remembers that her paunchy father once made a cup of wolfberry tea and talked about life experiences with his two sons. He made a critical comment: "You can't go to a place like a bathing center with a high-end decoration. That kind of place is just a rip off."
On the contrary, the more rustic the decoration and facade, the better the service inside. Young people with no experience will often be fascinated by the colorful world of the former. Only experienced people know that good products are found elsewhere."
Xu Miaomiao looked up at the vomiting bath center decoration and felt that it was a bit tricky. Other bath centers would like to decorate their facades into Roman bathhouses. The magnificent marble columns and oval eaves are considered high-end and classy.
But here, I really want to hang up the entire floor of the building with LED lights. When the electricity is turned on, the light pollution is unimaginable. It feels like a sight like Kabukicho Ichiban Street.
A place that is as trendy as it is unfashionable. This bathing center or foot-washing city has single-handedly brought half of the street back to the bright, neon-drenched Hong Kong of the 1990s.
There was a faint laugh behind Xu Miaomiao. He turned around and saw a few middle-aged aunts passing by carrying luxury handbags at the bottom of the steps. They were whispering and looking at him teasingly. In their eyes, Xu Miaomiao was completely
A young man who was passing by the bathing center suddenly felt fascinated. The dull Chu Ge looked more energetic and energetic. Obviously everyone knew that this bathing center was not very formal. What else could he be thinking while standing in front of this place in a daze?
Woolen cloth.
"Isn't this the wrong place?" Xu Miaomiao said to herself awkwardly, walked forward and found the house number with a blue background among the countless small decorative light plates on the wall next to the tall revolving glass door.
This is indeed Building 3, No. 126, and the entire building is surrounded by this bathing center!
Xu Miaomiao approached the revolving glass door and looked inside. Behind the glass was a spacious lobby. The decoration inside was a normal bathroom style, a pure gold-style lobby. The words "Big Four" were inlaid on the wall behind the front desk.
There are strange statues and murals placed in every corner of the hall, which are a bit in the style of ancient Mayan culture and Nordic mythology. In the hall, a rich lobby manager wearing a black shirt is still wandering around. His neck is about the same thickness as his face plate. At first glance, he looks like this.
The old bathing manager was there, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand and directing the cleaning staff to mop the floor in preparation for opening the business.
See a ghost.
Xu Miaomiao thought that maybe she had made a mistake. Either she had remembered it wrong, or Lin Nian's sister had told her wrongly. How could someone find the bathing center? Lin Nian couldn't just do this. He had to do it every day.
Are you going to drill into this place?
After thinking about it again and again, he felt that he must have made a mistake, so he turned around and left. It was unreasonable for a young and promising young man to always look at him in front of the bathing center. If he was seen by an acquaintance, he would probably be rehabilitated.
The only way to die is to send a message to Lin Nian. He should still be in the class group. Just go to social software and ask.
After thinking about it, he immediately moisturized himself without looking back, and took a few steps down the steps of the bathing center. Now he just wanted to go home. The charming feeling of falling in love during the morning jog was diluted by embarrassment. But then he walked far away.
Before he had even taken two steps, he looked back accidentally as if he noticed something, and unexpectedly discovered that there were actually two figures walking up the steps of the bathing center, heading straight into the hall with a clear purpose.
Good guy, I went to the bathing center early in the morning. Did the water supply stop at home or did I run out of shower gel?
Just because of curiosity, Xu Miaomiao almost took another look in the crowd and recognized the two people who were pushing the revolving glass door and walking in!
"Holy shit, Chu Zihang? Lin Nian?"
The moment he saw it clearly, Xu Miaomiao was stunned. His eyesight was 1.5. Without this distance, he could see the wrong person. Moreover, the two landmark faces of Chu Zihang and Lin Nian were so handsome and recognizable.
If you have sex, you will basically not make the mistake of admitting your mistake to others.
But if he saw it right, then it meant that the world had to be wrong! Otherwise, how could he have the hallucination of seeing Chu Zihang and Lin Nian traveling together and sneaking into the bathing center early in the morning?
Something is wrong, very wrong.
Xu Miaomiao's eyes widened and he couldn't move his feet. He felt like he had discovered some big news. But unfortunately, his brain was spent most of the time shut down and doubting life, and he had no time to take out his mobile phone and take a photo like that.
If we could take a photo of Chu Zihang and Lin Nian walking into the bathing center arm in arm, I'm afraid all the school girls who had a crush on their seniors would be in tears.
After standing there and hesitating for a long time, Xu Miaomiao stamped her feet, gritted her teeth, turned around and trotted towards the steps of the bathing center. They say that the one who goes against the crowd is the hero. At least at this moment, in the eyes of all the male compatriots on the road, he is the brave one.
I play so hard early in the morning at such a young age. I can’t even think about what else I can do when I reach middle age.

"You are finally back."
When Lin Nian walked out of the revolving door, the lobby manager in a suit and leather shoes breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him, and immediately walked over quickly, his rich face full of tension.
"What happened?" Lin Nian stopped, and Chu Zihang on the side subconsciously put his right hand behind his back and looked around.
"That's it" the lobby manager was about to say something, but the words got stuck in his mouth.
Lin Nian stared at the lobby manager, looking at the subtle expression on his face, and understood that the other person wanted to say something but couldn't say it, and nodded, "The headquarters has contacted you."
"Yes, the headquarters phone number is waiting for you on the fifth floor. The phone line is always open." The lobby manager said in a low voice.
"Have Commissioner Lu and his companions arrived already?" Lin Nian asked again.
"They came here earlier. We have arranged for them to rest. The young lady has also received assistance from our professional medical personnel and her condition is now stable."
"That's good. Are all of them waiting for us upstairs now?" Lin Nian looked at his eyes. Even if the golden pupils were not lit, the pupils were just deep brown and black, and his gaze also made this middle-aged man
Can't avoid it.
"It should be considered so." The manager, who was old enough to be the father of the boy in front of him, said at this moment that his voice was so low that it was faint and unclear.
"" Lin Nian turned his head and glanced at Chu Zihang, who was also looking at him. Both of them realized that something had happened, but the person in charge of the safe harbor who was supposed to reveal everything to them actually did something wrong.
Hiding it, this is extremely abnormal.
"I'll ask again, did anything bad happen?" Lin Nian asked.
"I'm really sorry. There is your headquarters hotline on the 5th floor. Please deal with the telephone contact first." The lobby manager took a step back and lowered his head slightly, a drop of sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Okay." Lin Nian nodded and said nothing more. He and Chu Zihang walked past the lobby manager who kept his head lowered and disappeared into the golden elevator at the end.
Until the elevator bell rang and the door closed, the lobby manager with his head lowered was already covered with sweat. He felt that he was walking on the line of life and death. He hoped that the decision of the department would be correct, and not just a doomed explosion.
The burning fuse of the explosive has been extended a bit.
Just when his palms were still sweating, the revolving glass door turned again, and someone else walked in. The moment the manager raised his head, his expression changed from stiff to a perfect professional smile, shaking the sweat on his back.
Step forward and greet, "Welcome!"
—
"Welcome, hello distinguished guest!"
As soon as he entered the door, a series of welcome sounds sounded in front of Xu Miaomiao. Both the cleaning girl and the front desk manager gave him a spring-like smile, which made Xu Miaomiao tremble all over. From behind the revolving glass door,
When I walked in and stood there, I felt at a loss.
"Welcome to the senior party. How many distinguished guests are you?" The male manager with a thick neck and a thick face strode over in leather shoes. Looking at his enthusiasm, he probably just held Xu Miaomiao's hand to welcome him.
"No, I'm not here to wash feet." Xu Miaomiao calmed down, feeling that even if she was indeed a young child, she couldn't lose the old Xu family when she went out, so she put on a calm expression.
"Dear guest, our club not only provides foot washing services, but also bathing, SPA, massage, and steaming. After bathing, there is a tatami area on the second floor where you can rest. There are snacks, wireless Internet, and self-service catering services.
, The third floor is the bathing area, and the fourth floor also has the hot spring area. After soaking in the hot spring, we also provide ancient massage, Thai massage and essential oil massage services. Do you want a ticket or a package? "
"Are you a bathing center or a health club?" Xu Miaomiao opened his eyes wide. As a southerner, he has never seen the orthodox northern bathing model. It is obvious that this spa is following the path of the traditional northern bathing place.
"Come on, guest, please come over here." The manager has a first-rate talent in attracting customers. As he spoke, he abducted Xu Miaomiao to the sofa aside. Before Xu Miaomiao could exclaim, the two little girls were like flowers and jade, like wolves and tigers.
My sister pounced on him and pulled off his shoes.
"Sister Bao, please brush the VIP's shoes." The manager turned around and waved, and Xu Miaomiao had already put slippers on his feet without even giving him a chance to refuse.
"That's my limited edition AJ, don't damage it!" Xu Miaomiao hurriedly stretched out her hand, and was pressed down by the manager, "Don't worry, our shoe cleaning here is professional, and the internal cleaning and deodorization are all top-notch.
, we can take good care of it for you if it is replaced by genuine leather.”
"No, I really didn't come here to take a shower." Xu Miaomiao was helped up by the manager and walked in. After this combination of punches, he felt that he would not be able to get off the stage today without paying for it. With such business capabilities, MLM people have to become apprentices.
.
"Don't be ridiculous, VIP. Isn't it because you came so early to be alone and clean? We all know that this is the first time you come here to ask for normal bathing services?" The manager put his arms around Xu Miaomiao and asked kindly, but Xu Miaomiao's face turned pale.
I'm so scared, is there a normal bathing service? So is there an abnormal bathing service? Doesn't this pimping have it all on his face?
"No, really don't, I'm here to find someone. The two people who came in just now are my classmates! I'm here to find them!" Xu Miaomiao quickly took a step back and turned away from the manager's warm hand. If it continues like this
He was afraid that he would be tricked into going to the bathhouse to get the whole thing.
Sure enough, Xu Miaomiao's explanation was very useful. The manager was suddenly startled after hearing his words. A strange color flashed across his eyes for a moment, and he glanced left and right at the employees working normally in the hall, "Are you with them?
"
"Yes, Lin Nian and Chu Zihang, let's call them these two. They come here often?" Xu Miaomiao said quickly when she finally had a chance to explain.
"Yes, we are indeed regular customers."
Damn, he’s really an old customer!? Xu Miaomiao’s eyebrows flew up. She didn’t know what Su Xiaoqiang would do if she knew about this incident.
The manager's face stiffened slightly, he looked Xu Miaomiao up and down, and his voice gradually lowered, "You are"
Xu Miaomiao didn't know why the manager suddenly spoke so softly, but when he saw that the other party seemed to doubt him, his head immediately turned around. He suddenly remembered what Sister Lin Nian had told him at the beach. If he went there,
When people in the place she mentioned asked who he was, they just said this sentence.
"This is safe harbor No. C703, right? People from Cassel College, you know." Xu Miaomiao said quickly in a low voice.
As soon as the manager heard this, his MLM-like expression instantly disappeared. Instead, he was replaced by a calmness and sophistication that Xu Miaomiao couldn't understand. He didn't know that even if he acted like a Muggle, he only needed to say the three words "safe harbor"
The characters and the correct number in front will be treated with the most seriousness and efficiency.
"Please come this way." The manager whispered. He turned around and waved his hand to point out the direction for Xu Miaomiao and walked away. His whole personality seemed to become more capable at this moment. The greasy appearance of running errands in the lobby completely disappeared, and the lines on the back of his hands were straight and straight.
Sharp.
Xu Miaomiao immediately looked at the manager with admiration. At the same time, he also looked at Kassel College with admiration. Who would have thought that this American university with a foreign and coquettish name would actually major in bathing? This business has been expanded to China, and it is just a store decoration.
Their taste still needs to be improved. So Lin Nian and Chu Zihang went to the United States to study bathing majors?
Are they studying abroad to learn bathing and using essential oils?
Xu Miaomiao imagined two handsome men, Chu Zihang and Lin Nian, in a steamy bathhouse with a towel on their shoulders. It was a bit unbearable to look at them. However, the next moment he suddenly became alert to the bathing center.
He should be able to receive female guests, right? Otherwise
When his mind was wandering, the manager had already led him to a VIP elevator at the end of the hall without saying a word. There was only one button in this elevator. When pressed, it would lead directly to the fifth floor. It was also the manager who introduced the elevator before.
