At the hot spring villa.
Even though the distance from the city to the hot spring villa wasn’t far, it was already noon when they finally arrived, thanks to Mu Xiaoxiao’s delay.
After lunch, the two girls clamored to see the flowers.
When they arrived at the rose garden, they saw a large area of pink roses from far away. On the other side were roses of other colors, and they looked really pretty.
“Qiqing, look! Isn’t that lavender?” Mu Xiaoxiao pointed excitedly at a patch of purple far away.
Han Qiqing nodded as she said, “Yeah! That lavender was transplanted from Provence in France, so it’s the most authentic lavender you can find. They also sell lavender essential oil made from them. Don’t you like essential oils? You can buy some later.”
Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up instantly. “Really? Then I want some!”
She turned around and said to Yin Shaojie behind her, “Remind me to buy some! Don’t forget it!”
Yin Shaojie put a hand into his pocket, looking dandiacal. Upon hearing her words, he frowned a little and said, “What are you buying them for? I forbid you from using them at home!”
It was then that Mu Xiaoxiao remembered that this guy was very sensitive to these scents and didn’t like aromatherapy. Even if she bought them, there was no way she could use them at home.
The little girl’s shoulders drooped instantly, and her expression became gloomy.
“But I really want it…”
Not only were there roses, but there were also little daisies; violets; and many, many other flowers too. If every one of them could be made into essential oils, then there would be so many of them to buy.
Alas, he didn’t like them, so she couldn’t buy them.
Yin Shaojie pursed his lips when he saw her dejected expression. “You can buy it if you like it, but — you can’t use them at home. Go use them at Qiqing’s place!” he said.
Han Qiqing pointed to herself and asked, confused, “Why should she come to my house for aromatherapy?”
Yin Shaojie shot her a look and said, “Didn’t you encourage her to buy it? You’ll have to take responsibility then.”
Han Qiqing was speechless.
What kind of logic was this?
However, to Great Master Yin, his logic was fact!
Han Qiqing hugged Han Qiqing’s arm and blinked her lovely eyes at her. “Qiqing…” She shook her arm coquettishly.
Han Qiqing couldn’t help but agree. “Okay, let’s find a time to for aromatherapy at my house. And how about getting a ma.s.seuse for a spa too?”
“That’s awesome!” Mu Xiaoxiao clapped.
Thus, the bunch of them explored the parterre, and Mu Xiaoxiao bought a whole bunch of essential oils excitedly. She bought one each as though she was afraid to miss out on a good one.
Of course, their last stop would be Xiaoxiao’s favorite, the strawberry shed.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to turn into an animal whose leash had been taken off once she was inside the shed. She was so excited that she couldn’t stop, and she picked a whole lot of strawberries.
The sky had already darkened when they finished exploring the place.
Song s.h.i.+jun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Just like that, the day has pa.s.sed already…”
It felt like they hadn’t done anything!
They had only accompanied the girls to look at flowers and pick strawberries, and the day had pa.s.sed just like that.
They ate dinner in a booth.
As he sipped on a homemade wine from the villa, Song s.h.i.+jun suggested while smiling, “It’s rare for us to be out here for fun. How about we play a game?”
“Oh yes! What game?” Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing asked simultaneously. They seemed really excited about it.
Holding his goblet and looking like an elegant royal, Yin Shaojie’s s.e.xy lips smirked. “I’ve got no objections.”
