Ruan Cunyun jumped into the water with a splash, his ears were slightly red, and his voice splashed with the water: "Boss Qin, you have helped me many times!"

This is not a very clear answer, but Qin Fanglu is already satisfied.

The fact that Ruan Cunyun was willing to hang out with him alone already showed his inclination. It would be enough if he didn't mind if I said something flirtatious occasionally.

The autumn afternoon sun was warm, and the two of them took a walk along the surf pool, planning to play for a while before going to have lunch.

There is a slightly smaller wave pool next to it, with many people standing in it and an underwater stage in the center.

Ruan Cunyun looked over and saw a set of light yellow duck gift boxes displayed on the big screen on the stage, with the word "Prize" written in large letters next to it.

His eyes were glued to it and his pace slowed down.

Ruan Cunyun had never seen such a complete little yellow duck gift package, so cute, he wanted it.

It may be a bit childish for elementary school students, but it is just right for office workers.

Qin Fanglu noticed his gaze, smiled and walked inside: "Let's go take a look."

Xu Feifei and Qi Chang were like a record of early human taming of hands and feet, dancing in a disjointed manner, so scattered that they could not be put together. Bai Qiangwei succeeded and retaliated happily.

Ruan Cunyun was frightened when he saw the stage where everyone was paying attention to him and he didn't dare to go on stage.

Qin Fanglu quickly responded: "You seem to be a lucky audience member."

He danced along with the others, waving his hands rhythmically, revealing his superior body proportions. His eyes looked at Ruan Cunyun through the crowd, as if there was no one else in his eyes.

Help, he actually doesn't want to go on stage at all!

Although his generous and cheerful personality was preserved, Ruan Cunyun regretted it as soon as he took the stage.

He was extremely regretful now and had the urge to cover his face and rush off the stage.

The girl in the swimming skirt shouted: "You won the prize, a yellow duck gift bag!"

Before he could finish his words, a transparent bubble ball flew straight towards him from Ruan Cunyun's direction. Ruan Cunyun subconsciously opened his arms and caught the ball steadily.

Ruan Cunyun hugged the ball tightly, and left Qin Fanglu an excited back view in a chic manner: "I won the prize, so of course I have to go up and receive the prize myself!"

As I got closer, I heard the host's voice coming from the speakers: "So when will the music stop—"

"Ah! The ball went over there!"

An older boy joked, "Do you want it, bro? If not, I'll go get the prize for you!"

"My luck in drawing other prizes is very bad!" Ruan Cunyun didn't expect that he would win a prize as soon as he arrived here. He felt a little amused.

Ruan Cunyun was holding the ball in a daze, as if he was holding a hot potato.

Fortunately, the people around him and the people below the stage were having so much fun that they completely drowned out Ruan Cunyun's stiffness, and he gradually relaxed.

At this moment the music stopped, the young people cheered, and everyone nearby looked towards Ruan Cunyun.

Ruan Cunyun was keenly aware that they might have broken into an organized event, so he pulled Qin Fanglu's swimsuit sleeve and said, "Boss Qin, why don't we leave..."

There seemed to be a few promotional pictures outside the wave pool, but they walked in without having time to look at them.

Ruan Cunyun felt an incurable pain when he felt nervous while standing on the stage. He almost subconsciously looked for the only familiar figure in the crowd.

Ruan Cunyun gritted his teeth and asked, "What are you going to do up there?"

Although the little yellow duck is also very good, he has drawn prizes related to Teacher Dan so many times, but has never won a single time.

The sunset was bright and the party atmosphere was even stronger. Ruan Cunyun was jumping around among the crowd, occasionally making eye contact with Qin Fanglu who was also jumping around in the audience. The two smiled at each other across the crowd, as if they were dancing next to each other.

Qin Fanglu stood in the crowd, his black attire standing out against the colorful crowd.

Sure enough, the host shouted enthusiastically: "Please invite the guests who got the bubble balls to come on stage!"

The staff collected the balls and gave each tourist who came on stage a cool shirt jacket. Suddenly, several handsome men and beautiful women in hot clothes ran up from both sides of the stage and started dancing to the beat of the music.

Ruan Cunyun was a person who had never even been to a bar and didn't know how to dance, let alone dance on the stage.

The drum beats rippled the water, just like injecting a tube of stimulant into the blood vessels of the young people, and the colorful figures in the audience all danced to the music.

The host was standing on the stage, and music with strong drum beats was playing on the speakers. Most of the tourists in the shallow pool were young people, who were jumping up and down, and ten bubble balls were tossed around by everyone, as if they were playing some game.

"How about I go up and help you get it?" Qin Fanglu suggested.

There was smoke coming out of Ruan Cunyun's head, and he tried hard to hide himself in the last row.

"You are so lucky." Even Qin Fanglu was surprised, "Comrade Ruan, you will be announced as the company's lucky cat next week."

However, the dancers on the stage were very good at guiding. Seeing Ruan Cunyun standing aside awkwardly, a young lady with a high ponytail and a belly-baring outfit came over and took Ruan Cunyun's hand, motioning Ruan Cunyun to do it with her: "Handsome boy, do like me, jump up and clap your hands, yes, follow the rhythm!"

After a piece of electronic music was played, it was replaced by a hit single from Europe and the United States a few years ago. Ruan Cunyun was stunned when this song came out.

The young strangers nearby all called out to Ruan Cunyun, "Brother, come up!"

The other young people who were chosen to go on stage were all very capable, both men and women, and they were obviously veterans of discotheques. They knew that this was to liven up the atmosphere, and they immediately joined in the fun.

Ruan Cunyun was quite surprised. Qin Fanglu was having fun so relaxed that he had nothing to be afraid of. The pool was like a disco atmosphere and there was nothing wrong with trying it for the first time in his life.

The reason is quite funny. At that time, Bai Qiangwei was going to participate in a theme event called "These Cosers can dance!" and was required to learn a home dance and a European and American song.

Ruan Cunyun was on vacation during high school at that time, and he went to visit the studio with Xu Feifei. Bai Qiangwei practiced until she vomited blood, and said that home dance is not as simple as it looks!

Qi Chang smiled very disrespectfully beside her. Bai Qiangwei was so angry that she dragged three men to practice with her, so that they could feel for themselves how difficult dancing was.

He doesn't listen to European and American songs very often, but he is very familiar with this song.

But then he thought that his boss was right next to him, and he dared not show weakness in front of him.

How can we ask the boss to do this kind of thing for us

However, no one expected that Ruan Cunyun, who had been reluctant to dance, could move very smoothly after practicing with the teacher a few times. The key was that his rhythm was precise and his limbs were coordinated, as if he had learned it before.

Under questioning, Ruan Cunyun finally confessed that he had learned dance with his classmates for a period of time when he was a child. He couldn't clearly describe what style it was, but in the end he won the second prize in amateur dance.

Ruan Cunyun has had good physical coordination since he was young. It seems that he naturally knows how hands and feet should work together. He is definitely a natural talent.

Xu Feifei was devastated and asked him, "Why don't you dance now? We didn't know you had this talent."

Ruan Cunyun just smiled and said that he was so busy with his studies that he didn't have the time, but he didn't tell him the real reason. It was that his father saw the dance award and said, "Only girls dance, how can boys dance?"

At that time, Ruan Cunyun was still young and did not know how to resist. His father represented authority. Since giving up his interest in dancing, Ruan Cunyun never picked it up again.

Bai Qiangwei was unwilling to let Ruan Cunyun waste his talent, so she grabbed him and danced with him.

The effect of having a sparring partner is great. Bai Qiangwei successfully learned it, and Ruan Cunyun also learned it.

Familiar music sounded on the water stage, as if returning to a dance studio of pure joy.

The dancers began to dance, and the tourists who were chosen to come on stage some followed along, some just had the time of their lives, anyway, they were all having fun and were fully enjoying themselves.

Ruan Cunyun discovered that the dancers were actually dancing the version he had learned. Although there were some differences in the details, the major movements were the same.

Muscles have their own memory, and every movement seems to be engraved into the body. Even if they have been dormant for a long time, the same melody will still awaken the habit.

Since no one cared about him, Ruan Cunyun simply danced with the dancers, but his eyes would be a little evasive when he passed by Qin Fanglu.

.

When Qin Fanglu saw him dancing, he stopped clapping, stood quietly, slowly stretched out his arms and raised a thumbs up.

Meaning, awesome.

The tourists in the audience gradually stopped focusing on having fun themselves and occasionally burst into cheers.

Ruan Cunyun didn't understand what they were cheering for. He was dancing with great concentration, occasionally interacting with the female dancer next to him.

The song was not long and a few minutes passed quickly. The cheers from the audience were like a tidal wave.

The dancers ran off the stage and the number of people on the stage dropped sharply. Ruan Cunyun had nowhere to hide and could only try his best to hide himself behind a tall man.

The host walked onto the stage enthusiastically and asked the audience for another round of applause. The tourists were very respectful and cheered loudly.

"Congratulations again to these lucky guests. Before you receive your prize, please introduce yourself to everyone!"

The pretty lady closest to the host took the microphone naturally, introduced herself gracefully, and said, "I came to this event mainly because I'm too bored recently. I feel uncomfortable if I don't add new friends on WeChat for three days, so I hope to get to know more of you! I wish you all have fun!"

The word "activity" tightly pinched Ruan Cunyun's ears. He mechanically turned his head to look at the big screen. The words that he couldn't see clearly from a distance just now were now clear.

Next to the eye-catching little yellow duck suit is the slogan of this event: [Super exciting golden autumn water party! Hot songs and dances, delicious food, games and friends, enjoy the last carnival before winter comes! ]

make friends…

Ruan Cunyun finally figured out what was going on. They had accidentally barged into a gathering of the gang leaders.

In fact, the little yellow duck gift package is just a gimmick. For the participants of Sheniu, the real prize is not the little yellow duck, but an opportunity to go on stage and show themselves.

Some people got the ball but gave the chance to go on stage to their friends who wanted to show themselves more, so those who rushed to the stage were truly generous, cheerful and fun-loving young people.

Ruan Cunyun, who only had the little yellow duck in his heart, mixed in with the crowd and became very autistic.

He doesn't want the little yellow duck anymore. Is it too late for him to step down now

But it was obviously too late, because the host had already walked up to Ruan Cunyun with the microphone in hand.

"I think everyone should give this handsome guy another round of applause!"

Ruan Cunyun was attacked by applause from the whole audience, his smile became stiff and he was confused inside.

"The young man dances so well! Even our dancers thought it was a new colleague who had sneaked into the team."

There was laughter from the audience.

In fact, it wasn't that good at all, but he was very conspicuous among the group of people jumping around.

Ruan Cunyun's hair stood on end. He was hiding at the back and jumped. Did everyone see it

The host asked: "You dance so well, have you ever learned to dance before?"

Ruan Cunyun has a psychological trauma against the microphone and can only restrain his urge to run away and try hard to play the role of a social tough guy who is not afraid of the stage.

Qianqian nodded: "Yeah, I just happened to learn this song."

"That's really amazing!" The host said with a smile, "Little brother, you better pay attention tonight. The friend requests we received will probably be lined up from here to France."

The host chatted with Ruan Cunyun for a few more words, and finally let him go and turned to the next person. Their faces were almost frozen with laughter, and then the staff came on stage with luxurious little yellow duck gift bags and distributed them to them.

Ruan Cunyun walked off the stage holding a big gift bag, his back wet with sweat, and the wind brought a cool breeze.

He almost ran back to Qin Fanglu, as if he had found a life-saving piece of driftwood in the river.

"The gifts are so rich." Qin Fanglu looked at the pile of things in Ruan Cunyun's hands, "It's worth it."

There are practical items such as plush dolls, water bottles, card holders, lunch boxes, etc., as well as a plastic duck that can float on the water.

Ruan Cunyun thought to himself, "I paid with my life for this," and said to Qin Fanglu, "I'm so lucky!"

"You seem to enjoy dancing." Qin Fanglu said with a smile, "You like it, don't you?"

Ruan Cunyun slightly

After a pause: "Yes."

Some people say he dances well, some say he is talented, some say he is amazing. This is the first time I heard someone say that he enjoys dancing.

"It's a very happy thing to have a favorite hobby," said Qin Fanglu.

Ruan Cunyun felt the same way: "That's right."

Now that he had obtained the prize, it was not advisable to stay here for long. Ruan Cunyun thought about running away, but when he saw Qin Fanglu was still looking at the stage with great interest, he hesitated.

So Mr. Qin likes this kind of party activities

After just a brief hesitation, Ruan Cunyun missed the best opportunity to escape.

After the host said something on the stage, the tourists became relaxed and agitated. The boys and girls nearby looked over at Ruan Cunyun, and soon someone came over to chat with him.

"The outdoor barbecue is about to start. Can we sit at a table?"

"Brother, I have also learned to dance. Do you want to exchange ideas?"

"Dude, you're so fucking cool."

When others came to chat with him, Ruan Cunyun could only chat with them. Qin Fanglu was handsome and eye-catching, and soon a small circle of people gathered around them.

Ruan Cunyun was surrounded by a group of community bulls, like a chick falling into a tiger's den, so fucking weak, helpless and collapsed.

An open-air barbecue was started on the grass nearby, and they were inexplicably pulled to the table.

Qin Fanglu raised his eyebrows and asked Ruan Cunyun in a low voice: "Do you want to eat here?"

Ruan Cunyun's plate was already filled with a bunch of skewers of meat by a guy he just met. He said with difficulty, "Then let's eat here."

In fact, everyone was not as ferocious as the host said. They were just chatting freely most of the time, and only later when they got in the mood for eating did they start to add each other on WeChat and act like brothers.

Ruan Cunyun and Qin Fanglu both said that they did not add friends, and no one forced them to do so.

A girl raised her eyebrows and looked at them: "We are just ordinary friends, there is no such meaning. I feel comfortable seeing two more handsome guys in my circle of friends, is this not okay?"

Ruan Cunyun: "Sorry, I don't post photos of myself."

Qin Fanglu: "I don't post on WeChat Moments."

"You two are quite interesting!" The girl laughed heartily, "So you came to the dating party just to show off your love?"

Ruan Cunyun's body froze, and before he could blush, Qin Fanglu looked at him and said, "We are not."

Qin Fanglu was pragmatic and would not take advantage of such verbal gains. He was also unsure of Ruan Cunyun's thoughts and was afraid that he would feel offended.

The girl smiled and said, "But you two look like a couple."

Qin Fanglu: "We are friends."

Ruan Cunyun: “Not yet.”

Qin Fanglu glanced at Ruan Cunyun and was quite surprised. He felt like he was hit by a huge surprise.

So he immediately smiled and changed his words: "Soon."

The girl said "fuck" in a clear voice: "You guys still say you're not here to show off your affection?"

-

It was almost nine o'clock in the evening when the party ended. After being dragged around chatting and taking photos all night, Ruan Cunyun's social energy was completely exhausted and he didn't want to say a word.

Some young people got drunk and called Ruan Cunyun to play cards all night.

Ruan Cunyun, who was running out of energy, had no energy to pretend, and fatigue was written on his face. Qin Fanglu scratched the back of his hand: "Are you tired from playing? Let's go back."

Seeing that Qin Fanglu was still in high spirits, Ruan Cunyun hesitated and asked, "Do you still want to continue playing?"

"No." Qin Fanglu said, "Let's go."

Ruan Cunyun closed his eyes and said "hmm".

Ruan Cunyun held on to his last breath and arrived at the resort hotel. As soon as he entered the room, his tiredness disappeared.

The calm and elegant Japanese style has a spacious living room with a set of rattan low tables, exquisite screens to separate the space, and two tatami bedrooms on both sides. It is simply the most common Japanese layout in anime.

Ruan Cunyun put his luggage away and didn't know how to praise him.

Qin Fanglu pushed open the wooden door, and outside the door was a private courtyard. Hidden among the bamboo branches was a private hot spring, gently emitting hot steam.

"Wow… "

The scenery in front of me is so comfortable.

The cloud uttered an exclamation.

The private bath is in the private courtyard of their room. In short, it belongs to just the two of them and is very private.

"You can take a rest in the hot spring later." Qin Fanglu leaned against the door.

Ruan Cunyun was really tired, so he instinctively said "thank you" and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

His mind was still filled with disco music, the chattering of young people, the sound of beer bottles clinking, and the noisy party occupying his mind.

There are two sets of bedrooms and bathrooms. Ruan Cunyun feels safe in a purely private environment. The running water takes away some of the noise, and he feels his mind is clearer after taking a shower.

Ruan Cunyun cleared his mind to the sound of water and vaguely heard Qin Fanglu saying something loudly outside the bathroom, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

By the time Ruan Cunyun came to his senses, Qin Fanglu had already finished speaking, and he could only respond vaguely with "OK".

Ruan Cunyun is now like a walking corpse. Who knows how a leisure vacation can inexplicably turn into a social hell! Ruan Cunyun sighed and said, "I spent half my life in exchange for the little yellow duck gift bag. Is it really worth it?"

He now had only one thought in his mind—to quickly take a dip in the small hot spring.

People like Ruan Cunyun who love watching Japanese anime naturally know that Japanese hot springs are bathed naked without wearing clothes.

Although most mountain hot springs in the country still require guests to wear swimsuits, perhaps because this room has a strong Japanese atmosphere and the courtyard is a private hot spring, Ruan Cunyun thought without thinking that of course one cannot wear clothes when soaking in a Japanese hot spring!

So he pushed the door open wearing a large bath towel, with the long towel swaying at his knees.

Without the flushing of running water, Ruan Cunyun's mind began to become confused again. He ran to the living room and opened the big yellow duck gift package, and took out the plastic duck from it, thinking that he could play with it while taking a hot spring bath.

Ruan Cunyun grabbed the bath towel with one hand to prevent it from slipping, and held the little yellow duck in the other hand, stumbling towards the hot spring.

He needs the spa! Now!

The courtyard door was open, the night wind was cold, and the gravel road hurt Ruan Cunyun's bare feet. He walked along the path into the bamboo forest, but stopped suddenly beside the hot spring.

A gust of wind blew by, and Ruan Cunyun's mind became clear instantly.

Qin Fanglu was soaking in the pool, with half of his body exposed. There were medicine bags in the hot spring. The water in the pool was an opaque dark color, and his abdominal muscles were half buried in the water.

His posture was lazy, but it couldn't hide the aggression radiating from inside out.

Their eyes met, and Ruan Cunyun's mind went blank. Qin Fanglu quickly sank into the water, leaving only his head exposed. He smiled helplessly, "Didn't I tell you that I'll take a shower first, so I'll take a bath first. Can you come back in fifteen minutes?"

Ruan Cunyun grabbed the towel and took two steps back: "The water was too loud, I, I didn't hear it."

"Sorry, I didn't explain it clearly." Qin Fanglu scratched his hair, "How about I go upstairs now and you take the lead?"

"It's okay. I'll go back and wait for a while. Call me when you've had enough."

"It's too cold now. If you don't wear so little and don't go into the hot spring, you'll catch a cold if you wait so long."

"It's okay. The room should be warm."

"I've been soaking for half a day, and it's almost done."

You and I politely declined for a while, and then we all stopped talking.

The two looked at each other and no one spoke for a while.

After talking for a long time, Ruan Cunyun didn't leave and Qin Fanglu didn't stand up.

When Qin Fanglu spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse: "Why don't you come down."

Ruan Cunyun tightly grasped the bath towel, her slender white body like a crescent moon.

He was holding a plastic duck in his arms, and the shape of it was a bit funny.

After standing still for a while, Ruan Cunyun said, "Okay."

Qin Fanglu said frankly: "I'm not wearing any clothes, not even swimming trunks."

Ruan Cunyun seemed to shrink back and said in a low voice, "Me too."

"Then." Qin Fanglu paused, turned his back in the water, faced the bamboo forest and closed his eyes.

"Come down, I won't look at you."

Qin Fanglu closed his eyes obediently, and his hearing became even sharper.

A silent gap passed, and then he heard the sound of a plastic duck falling into the water and a bath towel hitting the ground.

Then there was a rustling sound of water.

Ruan Cunyun said: "I'm coming down."
