Chapter 451 Sunrise
The indoor hot spring is shrouded in mist.
In the misty atmosphere, Li Luo and Li Guohong sat face to face on stone chairs, both with calm expressions, as if they were completely absorbed in the chess game in front of them.
But in fact, only Li Luo himself knows how difficult his life is at this moment.
It wasn’t that Xu Youyu and Yan Zhusheng were teasing him underwater again.
There were just three girls who simply gathered around him to watch, while Xu Rongsheng and others crowded around Li Guohong, causing the area around the stone chair to be unusually crowded.
Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng just leaned against him, wearing their swimsuits, sticking together in the hot spring water.
With the nourishment of hot spring water, the girl's skin became smoother and more delicate. However, it was still a little difficult for Li Luo to concentrate under such caressing.
After all, Li Guohong was no match for the limited abilities of the three girls last night.
Under such circumstances, Li Luo was naturally killed without leaving a single piece of armor.
But the good news is that there are no strange punishments in this hot spring chess game.
After losing, Li Luo quickly gave up his seat to Xu Rongsheng, and then he fled back to the steps at the edge of the hot spring pool and sat down.
So the four stone chairs around the stone table were soon occupied by the four parents.
The three girls returned and sat down next to Li Luo, soaking in the hot spring peacefully above the water, but under the water there were undercurrents.
Maybe it was because his parents were here, Xu Youyu behaved quite well except for the weird moment underwater when he first came in.
At this time, I just sat obediently on the steps at the edge of the hot spring, probably because I was really tired. Even though I had taken a nap after coming back, I felt a little sleepy again after soaking in the hot spring.
On the contrary, Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi felt more and more energetic as they soaked in the hot spring.
Ever since she discovered that Li Luo particularly liked to look at her legs, Yan Zhusheng always liked to rub him with her long legs whenever she could find the opportunity.
This time is no exception.
Li Luo only felt that Yan Zhusheng's calf skin underwater was as smooth as milk, rubbing against his calf.
At the same time, although Ying Chanxi was relatively reserved, her little hand quietly reached out from under the water and held Li Luo's hand.
Li Luo turned his head to look at her, and Ying Chanxi avoided her gaze guiltily and whispered, "It's just material for the MV."
When it comes to being tough, Xixi is still the best and no one can match her.
Li Luo held Ying Chanxi's petite hand with his backhand and played with it carefully in his palm.
I don’t know if it’s because of the hot spring water, but Ying Chanxi’s little hands seem softer in the hot spring water, and it feels very comfortable to pinch them.
Right under the noses of four parents, Li Luo secretly got close to the two girls underwater, which was really tense and exciting.
Fortunately, until the end, the people playing chess over there did not notice the trick here.
After finally finishing the hot spring bath, the eight people left the pool, put on their yukatas, and walked upstairs together.
But just as they reached the third floor, when the three girls all had some evil thoughts, Lin Xiuhong said to Li Luo: "Do you have sunscreen?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Li Luo asked puzzledly.
"The bottle I used before is just used up, so I'd like to borrow yours." Lin Xiuhong said this and followed Li Luo straight to his room.
At this moment, Xu Youyu and others immediately stopped and walked towards their rooms obediently, no longer following Li Luo.
Li Luo didn't think much about it. After bringing his mother into the house, he took out his bottle of sunscreen and handed it to Lin Xiuhong.
But Lin Xiuhong just weighed it after taking it, and after glancing around Li Luo's room, she casually asked, "You didn't buy this sunscreen yourself, did you?"
“Xixi bought it.”
"That's right. You probably wouldn't normally think of buying this." Lin Xiuhong said this and then turned her eyes to the desk. "I remember this computer is from Zhusheng?"
"Ah."
"Where's the keyboard? Did you buy it yourself?"
"… Sister Yu bought it."
"Was the mouse also bought by someone else?"
"Xixi gave it to me before..." Li Luo curled his lips, unable to hold it in any longer.
Lin Xiuhong didn't react much to this. She just nodded and sat on Li Luo's bed for a while, chatting with her son.
The good news was that the room had been cleaned by the villa's maid and all the bed sheets and quilt covers had been changed, so Lin Xiuhong didn't find any hair or anything like that on the bed.
Li Luo felt a little relieved thinking about this, but he didn't realize that his mother had already come in once this morning.
Lin Xiuhong stayed in Li Luo's room for more than half an hour, until Li Luo felt something was wrong, then Lin Xiuhong stood up and said:
"That's all, I won't take the sunscreen for now. I'll leave it here with you. Remember to lend it to me tomorrow."
Originally, Lin Xiuhong had a lot to say, especially some precautions, but when the words came to her lips, Lin Xiuhong was a little unable to say them.
In the end, after hesitating for more than half an hour, he gave up the idea of talking to Li Luo directly about those topics, got up and said goodbye, and told him to go to bed early and not to stay up too late.
Li Luo didn't think too much about it and thought that his mother knew nothing.
However, if Li Luo was 17 or 18 years old and really faced the current situation, he might not be able to control himself.
But Li Luo, who came back from 20 years later, not only has psychological advantages that can help him control his desires.
Moreover, because of the many missed opportunities in the past, he cherishes the present even more.
As for some so-called breakthroughs, they are not that important in his eyes.
If Sister Yu hadn't been so unrestrained, Li Luo wouldn't have been carried away by her teasing several times.
But on key issues, Li Luo can still stop.
The future is still long, there is no need to rush.
Li Luo understands this principle better than anyone else.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. After Li Luo sent Lin Xiuhong away, he looked at the messages on his mobile phone.
The above is a private message from Xu Youyu and the other two asking him whether Lin Xiuhong had left.
Li Luo thought about it and decided to sit down at the desk and type for a while to clear his mind.
It was almost dawn before he replied to the three girls.
However, at this time, they had all fallen asleep in their rooms. Li Luo also had a rare quiet night. He recorded some materials he had gained from this trip in front of the computer and then fell asleep.
It was not until four o'clock in the morning that Li Luo was awakened by the alarm clock he had set. He opened his eyes with difficulty and looked out the window at the hazy night. He then climbed out of bed easily.
In another room, the maid who had been instructed long ago came to everyone's door on time and knocked, waking everyone up one by one.
Yan Zhusheng rubbed his eyes, climbed out of bed, and after washing up, he strolled into Li Luo's room. Seeing that he had just changed his clothes, he walked straight to him, nodded his head forward lightly, and leaned into his arms.
"I'm so sleepy." Yan Zhusheng nodded his head on Li Luo's chest a few times and said in a daze with his eyes closed.
Li Luo raised his hand and touched her head, stroking her long black hair: "What time did you go to bed last night?" "Eleven o'clock?" Yan Zhusheng recalled, "I fell asleep while looking at my phone."
I was quite tired from diving yesterday and I only slept for about five hours at night, so it’s normal to feel sleepy.
Li Luo lifted Yan Zhusheng's chin and pinched her tight face: "Go see if Xixi and Sister Youyu are up."
"Oh."
The two of them walked out of the room together. Li Luo asked Yan Zhusheng to go see Xixi, and then walked straight to the door of Xu Youyu's room.
He knocked on the door and then pushed it open.
Sure enough, after the maid knocked on the door at four o'clock, although Xu Youyu was woken up, he did not get up at all. He was still lying on the bed with his head buried in the quilt.
Li Luo laughed and shook his head, walked to the bedside, gently patted Xu Youyu's head through the quilt, and then said softly: "Sister Youyu, Aunt Cui knows that you are writing a novel, and has come to see you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Youyu immediately threw back the quilt, sat up straight, and suddenly widened his eyes.
As a result, he turned around and saw Li Luo covering his face to try to hold back his laughter. He immediately realized what was happening and became furious. He knocked on his stomach in a bad mood and said, "Are you going to die? You scared me to death."
"This is more convenient to wake you up, and the effect is very good." Li Luo said with a smile.
"Haven't you seen Sleeping Beauty?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, "Next time, I suggest you kiss me to wake me up."
"You didn't brush your teeth, so no kissing."
"You're still complaining about it." Xu Youyu snorted and got off the bed angrily.
She couldn't fall asleep. Li Luo's words had tormented her. Her mind was very clear now, so she had to go to the bathroom to wash up.
At this time, Yan Zhusheng had also brought Ying Chanxi over. Seeing Xu Youyu in the bathroom, he and Li Luo waited for a while.
After all four of them were dressed, they went downstairs to the restaurant.
Lin Xiuhong and the others were already waiting here. The maids brought them exquisite breakfast meals. After breakfast, it was around 4:30.
"Then let's hurry up and get going." Butler Liu said with a smile, "It takes about half an hour to get to the mountaintop park from here."
“It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to walk from the park entrance to the observation deck at the top of the mountain.”
"The sunrise time in Qiongzhou City is around 6 a.m., so we have more time."
"Let's go." Li Luo took the lead, stood up and led the way towards the villa gate.
The group got on the minibus, and Butler Liu came to the driver's seat, started the car, and drove everyone towards the mountaintop park.
In the car, even Lin Xiuhong and the others did not get enough sleep.
As soon as Cui Suling and Xu Rongsheng got on the bus, they leaned against the back of the chair and closed their eyes, intending to take a short rest.
If it were the former Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong, four o'clock in the morning would be the most energetic time for them.
But now, almost a year has passed since the breakfast shop closed, and their biological clocks have long since been adjusted.
It was four in the morning when they woke up again. Although it brought back some memories and emotions for the two of them, they still felt a little sleepy.
As for the four people in the last row of the minibus, they were even more drowsy.
Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi leaned on Li Luo's shoulders, and Xu Youyu hugged Ying Chanxi as a pillow while sleeping.
The four of them huddled together and slept soundly in the last row.
Lin Xiuhong turned her head and saw this scene. She held her forehead helplessly and couldn't help but sigh softly: "This is all because of him."
Just after five o'clock, a hint of light appeared on the horizon, but the sun was not yet visible.
The minibus arrived at the entrance of the mountaintop park and stopped in the parking lot next to it. Then the group was awakened by Butler Liu, and they got off the bus and gathered at the park entrance.
Under the dim yet slightly bright sky, Li Luo stood at the entrance of the mountaintop park and stretched.
Ying Chanxi took out his camera and asked Butler Liu to take a photo of them at the door.
Then everyone packed up and headed out of the door towards the observation deck on the top of the mountain.
On the way, there were some tourists who had the same purpose as them, climbing together to the highest point.
Some attractions and recreational activities in the park are not open at this time.
They did not stop for long on the road and headed straight towards the viewing point.
But this is a bit challenging for Xu Youyu.
After walking for about twenty minutes, she was already out of breath.
If he hadn't been holding on to Li Luo, he would have fallen behind long ago.
But the sky pays off.
When the time came to five forty, the group finally climbed to the observation deck on the top of the mountain.
Ying Chanxi held the camera and walked to the edge of the stone railing of the observation deck. He looked into the distance and couldn't help but exclaimed.
“You can see the sea from here.”
"Yeah." Li Luo came to Ying Chanxi's side. The mountain breeze blowing in his face seemed to have the smell of the sea. But then he looked to the other side of the viewing platform, raised his hand and said, "You can also see the panoramic view of Qiongzhou City over there. The scenery is also quite good."
Although the sun had not risen yet, the sky was already bright.
Ying Chanxi held the camera and couldn't wait to take pictures for everyone.
When the time for the sun to rise was approaching, she set up the tripod and pointed the camera at the distant horizon where the sun was about to rise, hoping to record the entire process of sunrise.
"This is my first time to climb a mountain specifically to watch the sunrise." Xu Youyu finally recovered by now, moved to the railing, looked into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.
Li Luo turned his head to look at her, and seeing that her face was still flushed and she was breathing slightly, he couldn't help laughing.
"why are you laughing?"
"nothing."
Li Luo shook his head and just thought about his previous life.
Xu Youyu also wanted to climb a mountain to watch the sunrise, but he chose Huangshan.
Li Luo accompanied her and climbed from morning to evening before finally reaching the top of the mountain. As a result, they were so tired that they overslept at night and did not see the sunrise.
Now that I have a new life, the mountaintop park in Qiongzhou City is not very high, so I can finally take Sister Youyu to see the sunrise.
It also makes up for the regret of Huangshan.
But unfortunately, Xu Youyu didn't know about this at the moment.
"The sun is coming out."
Just as Li Luo was thinking this, Yan Zhusheng next to him raised his hand and pointed towards the end of the sea.
