51 Chapter 50 – Coconut Rice 3 (1/2)

One at a time, the go-karts that had been following behind drove up. All the men used their most professional voice actor's speech to plaintively pronounce that they should not have attempted to race Toupai, the go-karting hobbyist. Amidst Jue Mei's grumbles, Gu Sheng learned that, in his university days, Mo Qingcheng had actually kept a go-kart at a car storage yard on the outskirts of the city, and when he had spare time, he would go drive it for an hour.

It was only because work had become too busy and he rarely had the chance to go anymore that he had sold it.

No wonder… he had won so effortlessly.

”Toupai DaRen, I don't want to sing 'Night Singing in the Magnificent Tang Dynasty', ah…” Dou Bing, the last arriving, jumped out from Mu Mu's kart, nearly in tears. ”I swear, I could have driven faster than him… Mu Mu, tell the truth. You wouldn't happen to be a traffic cop, would you? You didn't dare pass any cars…”

Compared to most girls, Dou Dou Dou Bing definitely could be considered tall, but standing there beside Mu Mu, she was still half a head shorter than him.

While she and Mu Mu were getting out of their kart, she was complaining incessantly. Mu Mu, on the other hand, had felt that safety was the first priority and he should not keep speeding up at all costs just to avoid singing a song… In addition, he even very honestly explained, ”I haven't been driving for very long, so I'm not very good at it…”

”If I had known, I would have let Mo Bai sit in your car. You two buddies singing the song would be good enough.”

Mu Mu continued his frank replies. ”Mo Bai's still at the hotel sleeping. He's only going to the spa and didn't want to do the racing…”

Dou Dou Dou Bing did not even know what to do with him anymore, and jumping out of the kart first, she followed a set of stone stairs towards a wooden house at the peak of the mountain.

When Mo Qingcheng went to buy water for her, their tour guide finally slowly showed up, hopped out of his go-kart, and very embarrassedly laughed ”ha-ha” a couple of times. Then, he immediately pulled out a notebook and, with another local guide, started to figure out the total number of people that would be doing a seaside spa treatment shortly. When he reached Gu Sheng, the tour guide very considerately told her, ”I know, the two of you are together.” The guide pointed toward the backside of Mo Qingcheng, who was stlll buying water.

”Mm-hmm…” What did that have to do with going to the spa? …

The guide then went off to ask Geng Xiaoxing.

Geng Xiaoxing extremely stiffly and emphatically shook her head.

And then… the guide left.

As a result, only after everyone had been transported by vehicle to the other side of the island, where they saw a row of little wooden chalets and the guide had assigned them each to a room did Gu Sheng finally understand what this had to do with going to the spa… Besides the two married couples, everyone else had been assigned as either two men or two women to one chalet.

When she pushed open the door and entered the chalet, she saw that half of the room actually consisted of floor-to-ceiling windows that faced out to the ocean, and there was a small heated pool from which the sound of continuously flowing water could be heard. The other half of the room had two massage tables. Everything, from the floor to the pool to the massage tables, was covered with layers of flower petals… And the most awkward part was, the owner of this particular resort told them in very proficient Mandarin, ”You can shower together first, then soak for awhile in the heated pool. You can even take a nap. Whenever you are ready and you want your massage, put on your shorts and ring the bell. Two girls will come in and provide you your massage service.”

Shower together?

Soak in the pool together?

”Oh, also, happy honeymoon.”

Happy… honeymoon?!

T.T...

”You go shower first. I'm going to sit here and look at the ocean for a little bit.” His voice beside her smoothly abolished the awkwardness. Gu Sheng immediately hugged her clothing to herself, went into the bathroom, and washed off in the shower. When she came out, she had no choice but to wear the sarong provided by the resort and, using the method of tying the large length of cloth at the neck, she wore it like a half-length halter dress.

While she was blow-drying her hair with the hair dryer, Mo Qingcheng also finished his shower and came out wearing only his own athletic shorts.

In the mirror, she looked at the reflection of the heated pool, at him walking toward her with his upper body bare, at the wet footprints left behind by his bare feet stepping on the floor… She suddenly felt an unexplainable sense of anxiousness… Last night, even together in his room, sleeping on his bed, she had not felt nervous and completely at a loss like this.

”Hair's all blown dry?” His hand was on her shoulder. ”You don't want to go in the pool?”

In this type of setting where, after a shower, you would head straight to do spa treatments, there was no such thing as bathing suits provided… That means being completely uncovered in front of each other, ah, Toupai DaRen! It's better if we didn't, ah. T.T...

”No, thank you…” Her face started to turn red…

”That's good. I'm worried about it not being very hygienic, too,” he said with a laugh.

His voice was still as before, unpretentiously entrancing… It was not certain whether it was because they were in an exotic place, far from home, or because the room had numerous petals and incense to set the scene, or maybe… he had actually intentionally lowered his voice to speak.

She continued to grip the hair dryer and aimlessly blow her long locks.

Through those floor-to-ceiling windows, the entire beach and ocean outside could be seen.

Even though she knew that no one from the outside could see in to where they were, she still felt weird about it.

Mo Qingcheng's hand untied the slipknot at the nape of her neck.
