During National Day, many tourist attractions are crowded with people, but the area near Jiuning Hot Spring Villa is very quiet.
Shen Qingzhi carried a small suitcase and walked to the gate of the villa, but she didn't see many travelers.
She murmured in her heart: Is this the hot springs resort recently opened by Kexin's uncle? Did I get to the right place?
Just as she began to doubt, she saw a figure with a bun hairstyle in the distance, joyfully running towards her. "Qingzhi, over here! It's quite rare for you to be early this time."
It's no wonder Yu Kexin would say this. In the past, as long as Shen Qingzhi was on vacation, her procrastination would be infinitely magnified. She wouldn't show up until the last second of every party.
However, she was always punctual, not late.
However, this time she actually showed up an hour earlier than the agreed time, which really surprised Yu Kexin.
Shen Qingzhi touched her nose, unembarrassed, saying, "I thought since Shen Hanzhi rarely comes out, and it's been a while, I kind of missed her a little."
Yu Kexin had a look of realization on her face, "I've seen that you two sisters always have hidden secrets when talking to each other before. But I didn't expect that your relationship in private would be so good."
She never imagined the twists and turns Shen Qingzhi had gone through in the past few days.
Ever since Shen Qingzhi had a lustful moment a few days ago, but ended up being eaten dry, she seemed to be holding a breath in her heart, unable to spit it out or swallow it.
It stands to reason that they were both adults and at the moment, neither of them has a partner. Under mutual consent, igniting a spark is not something scandalous.
Moreover, this was Shen Qingzhi's own proposal from the beginning, and the process unfolded according to her requests. At this point, what's done is done, and she really shouldn't have any dissatisfaction.
But since that night, Gu Jinrong seemed to have a floodgate opened, and her seductions became more and more unscrupulous.
If in the past it was just a dull and coquettish way of teasing and prodding, now it has completely transformed into an open and bold one.
Taking advantage of the fact that there's no one else at home, she not only showcased various hidden sensual styles but also, intentionally or unintentionally, brushed against Shen Qingzhi while cooking or bringing a cup of water.
Undeniably, Shen Qingzhi was indeed seduced.
Gu Jinrong already had a stunning look and figure. If she wanted to seduce someone, no one would be able to resist her.
Shen Qingzhi feels that this is definitely not her fault.
She recalls the discussion they had months ago in the village about becoming "legal friends with benefits."
Honestly, although the cause of this originated from her own desires, once it truly happened, Shen Qingzhi couldn't casually consider Gu Jinrong just as a sex friend.
Gu Jinrong is different from anyone else.
She has selfish motives, but so does Gu Jinrong.
They met as teenagers and had some ambiguous affection. Now that they have gotten married and slept together, they can't be called friends, sex friends, lovers, or even wives.
This relationship is really messed up and hard to untangle.
In the past few days, Shen Qingzhi has pulled out dozens of hairs in frustration: It was clearly agreed that the marriage would last for a year and then part ways, but how did it turn into this?
Lust is indeed a knife in the head, but the crucial point is that there's no apparent benefit in sight!
After reflecting, Shen Qingzhi decided to endure the pain and make a firm resolution to keep her distance from a certain black-hearted person. No matter how much she might be teased, she would strive to pretend that her heart was calm.
It's just that Gu Jinrong, who is using all her ultimate moves, is too evil. She can't resist it at all, and her willpower is on the verge of collapse.
Fortunately, the vacation date agreed upon with Yu Kexin is approaching. Finally, she can take the opportunity to be calm and not let a certain someone continue to disturb her peace of mind at home.
Shen Qingzhi locked herself in her room last night and packed her luggage. She got up at half past six this morning as soon as it was dark, thinking about sneaking out of the house without anyone noticing.

Very good, this time I didn't bump into Gu Jinrong making breakfast, embarrassing scene -1.
For this trip, Shen Qingzhi decided to put a certain someone aside and truly enjoy her vacation.
During the five-hour drive in the morning, under the influence of her strong self-control, she only thought about a certain someone for an hour. She could do it!
Shen Qingzhi looked at Yu Kexin who came to pick her up alone, and wondered: "Where is my sister? Isn't she with you?"
"Hanzhi-jie tidying up the room. You'll see her later, " Yu Kexin said and led Shen Qingzhi to the villa.
This hot springs resort is newly built, but it has pavilions, towers, and ancient charm with rocks and mountains. It's quite a rare and picturesque sight.
Despite such beautiful scenery, it was surprisingly quiet.
As if seeing the confusion in Shen Qingzhi's eyes, Yu Kexin explained while leading the way.
"This villa was built jointly by my uncle and several of his friends. It's not planning to open to the public for now, just providing a holiday destination for some familiar friends."
"Then, I'm benefiting from you. No need to deal with crowds during the National Day holiday."
Thinking that these few days would be quiet and undisturbed, Shen Qingzhi felt happy and reached out to catch the fallen leaves from the ginkgo tree on the roadside.
"Actually, it's still a bit crowded. Although the resort seems to have many rooms, most of them are not yet renovated. The remaining ones are mostly reserved for specific people, so this time we only have two rooms for three people."
Three people, two rooms?
Shen Qingzhi immediately expressed her position, "I don't want to stay with Shen Hanzhi, because if we do, we'll end up fighting. I don't want to stay with you either, because I'm afraid Shen Hanzhi will beat me up."
It's for the sake of maintaining adult relationships, describing her own sister as a bit fierce is understandable. Whether it contradicts the deep sisterly affectionate image from before doesn't matter.
Yu Kexin's face slightly reddened, and she nodded. "Hanzhi-jie said the same. As long as you're okay with it."
Shen Qingzhi played with the ginkgo leaf in her hand and teased, "Of course, I have no objections. Let's go with that then."
As they spoke, the two walked through a winding corridor and arrived at a pavilion.
At a glance, Shen Qingzhi saw a person standing in the pavilion, overlooking the riverside scenery – her own elder sister. But next to her was also a graceful figure that seemed so familiar.
"You're here." Shen Hanzhi turned at the sound of footsteps, and turning with her was Gu Jinrong, who disturbed Shen Qingzhi not long ago.
The person in front had a charming face, now not in casual home clothes but in a sky-blue cheongsam, standing gracefully in the mountains and waters, looking even more charming.
Shen Qingzhi froze on the spot and blinked hard, thinking: Am I hallucinating?
No wonder she thought like this, it's said that one thinks of something during the day and dreams of it at night. She had indeed been thinking about Gu Jinrong quite a bit these days.
But it's broad daylight; it's not yet time for dreaming.
Facing Shen Qingzhi's confusion, Yu Kexin seemed even more puzzled, "Qingzhi, why are you so surprised to see Senior Gu? Haven't you two always been together?"
Shen Qingzhi:?
Who has always been together?!
Shen Qingzhi's gaze lingered on Yu Kexin's face for two seconds, seeing her genuine confusion as if she really didn't know. She then fiercely glared at her own elder sister.
Shen Hanzhi was indifferent to Shen Qingzhi's bluff, and shrugged, "I invited Jinrong to come along. Do I need to report to you?"
Okay, she might not have that much authority to make Shen Hanzhi report to her, but Gu Jinrong didn't mention it either!
Shen Qingzhi's gaze fell on Gu Jinrong like a drumbeat, and the other party explained in a good-tempered manner.
"Hanzhi called me last night. You haven't given me a chance to talk these past few days, ai"
The gentle tone coupled with the slight sigh at the end of the sentence is quite pitiful.
Before Shen Qingzhi could soften, Shen Hanzhi couldn't overlook it, reaching out to pull Gu Jinrong. "She's had this temper since she was a child. Don't spoil her too much. Now that everyone's here, let's go eat."
On the way to their meal, the four of them naturally formed two pairs. Shen Hanzhi led Yu Kexin ahead, while Shen Qingzhi and Gu Jinrong naturally lagged behind.
The two in front chatted and laughed, making the awkwardness of the two behind even more pronounced.
Of course, this awkwardness might be felt only by Shen Qingzhi.
Just a moment ago, she was celebrating the tranquility of the place, and now she found it too quiet. Quiet to the extent that, along the way, besides a passing white goose, there was no sign of any other living beings.
At least two passers-by can distract their attention, whether they are familiar or not.
Before coming here, she was determined to assist her elder sister in her love life, but now, looking at the two in front who seemed inseparable, it seemed her assistance was unnecessary.
Now her own affairs are still in a mess, which is annoying!
Gu Jinrong walked beside Shen Qingzhi, observing her thoughtful expression. Without interrupting, she adjusted her pace, bringing their shadows closer, as if in a close and intimate posture.
The four arrived at the restaurant's private room. Approaching lunchtime, the table was already filled with various specialty dishes, indicating someone had arranged it in advance.
Theoretically, Yu Kexin was the host for this gathering, but the details seemed to be managed more by Shen Hanzhi.
However, Shen Qingzhi, at this point, was no longer concerned about these details. After the other three had taken their seats, she chose a seat farthest from Gu Jinrong, making her intentions clear.
This round table is very large, more than enough for five or six people.
When Shen Hanzhi saw Shen Qingzhi sitting so far away, she frowned and was about to criticize her, but was gently tugged by Gu Jinrong.
During the meal, three people chatted and one person tasted the delicious food in silence, which was still quite harmonious.
It's just that the one who is usually the noisiest has become the quietest now.
After lunch, Shen Hanzhi handed the room card to Gu Jinrong in front of everyone, "Your room is 3327. Rest and freshen up in the afternoon, and we'll meet at the hot springs in the evening."
After briefly explaining their itinerary, she took Yu Kexin away without even looking at her own sister.
Shen Qingzhi:...
No matter how dull she was at this moment, she knew that she had been arranged, but she didn't even have a chance to refute it.
Speaking of which, the arrangement was something she had personally suggested not long ago. However, at that time, she had no idea about the existence of a fourth person.
Before she left for the trip, she had hoped to avoid sharing the same roof with Gu Jinrong for a few days, but now, not only was it the same roof, but it was also the same room.
If she were to leave at this moment, it would seem too willful and deliberate. So, she could only feign composure under Gu Jinrong's friendly invitation.
At the same time, she prayed in her heart that the room would be larger so that she could have some private space.
The moment the door was opened, Shen Qingzhi's fantasy was shattered.
The room is indeed quite large. A single bedroom, nearly 100 square meters. It is fully equipped with a TV, sofa and coffee table. There are no curtains in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling windows, so the scenery outside the window can be seen at a glance.
Everything seemed perfect, but the problem was that there was only one bed in such a large room.
White sheets, red bedding, heart-shaped pillows.
In the center of the bed, a large "heart" made of rose petals, shining in bright red, glaringly vivid, making Shen Qingzhi's eyelids twitch.
Who told them that hotel rooms are supposed to be decorated like this?
