The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 967 - 966. Resort Area
Chapter 967: 966. Resort Area
Wen Nuan felt like she had recruited an ancestor for her own team; she had to consult the future superstar’s schedule for everything—but there was no helping it, his abilities were truly one-of-a-kind.
Tang Shu was still unaware of her friend’s grudge, "Additionally, I’ve already finished Xu Corporation’s designs. According to their efficiency, this batch of orders can be completed within a month."
"Thanks, I’ll treat you to grilled fish another day."
Stopping at the entrance of Plants & Herbs Hall, Tang Shu paused and looked back at her seriously, "Let’s choose another place, the grilled fish restaurant needs to step up their game."
Wen Nuan’s eyes widened in surprise, "Are you serious? I remember you praising the chef to the skies the first time I took you there!"
"Oh, I’ve found someone whose culinary skills surpass the chef?"
"..."
She’s got me there.
So Tang Shu cheerfully waved goodbye to her.
Today is her date day—more precisely, her hot springs resort vacation date day.
Jing Yu’s outfit today leaned towards casual; due to the chilly winter weather, he had donned a black overcoat and was now quietly waiting beside the car.
Walking through the old alleys of the district, Tang Shu reached the entrance of the lane and tightened her woolen coat around herself; the breath she exhaled instantly turned into a puff of white mist.
"Why not wear more? Are you cold?"
Seeing her approach, Jing Yu took a step forward and adjusted the collar of her woolen coat, revealing only her delicate little face.
"Not really, it’s not too cold."
"Tiantian has prepared clothes for you, they’re all in the suitcase. We’ll return the day after tomorrow, so get in the car first."
A private car set off from the city center, heading towards a hot spring villa resort in the southern direction of the capital. After a two-and-a-half-hour journey, the private car arrived at a scenic area segregated from the rest.
"We’re here?"
"Mhm, this is a scenic area where you can enjoy the snowscape of Jiangnan Town during the day and a light show at night."
Tang Shu twitched the corner of her mouth, "...Snowscape in Jiangnan Town?"
Jing Yu chuckled softly, "That’s right, you know it’s not easy to see snowscapes in the South, right?"
"Yes, so this is a major attraction of the scenic area to lure tourists from both the North and South? The designer of the scenic area must be a genius, creating a place with southern architectural style in the North attracts northerners and also indirectly attracts southerners who want to see snow."
"Exactly."
"..." Crafty capitalists.
Tang Shu felt modern merchants were truly shrewd; in the past, Damo simply facilitated trade between the North and South—a lot of perishable and fragile goods couldn’t be transported.
But now, in the cold North, not only can one often see fresh fruits and food unique to the South, but also enjoy their scenery.
"That’s fantastic, I’m in love with the modern era."
The temperature inside the car, with its heating on, was quite high. Tang Shu tightened her clothes again, but still felt a gust of cold wind whistling down her neck as she opened the car door.
However, in the next instant, a pure black scarf was wrapped around her neck.
Men’s style, very familiar.
Jing Yu’s neck was bare, seemingly unaffected by the cold air, his hands skillfully tying the ends of the black scarf around his girlfriend’s neck.
"Feeling better?"
"Not cold anymore, how far are we from the hotel?"
"Right in front of us."
Jing Yu expertly put on her mask and fluffy hat and naturally took her hand as they headed towards the hotel’s entrance.
"Hey, the luggage..."
"Someone will bring them up. Don’t worry."
Before them stood a five-star resort hotel with not only a vast expanse of property but also an excellent view. Through the living room window, one could take in the entire panoramic view of the rolling mountain range and even make out the ancient wall built by countless people.
Jing Yu took two small suitcases from the hotel staff and placed them on the rack in the living room. After checking the suite’s amenities, he found Tang Shu on the balcony, absorbed in the scenery.
The young girl was sprawled out on the small sofa provided by the hotel, staring curiously at the long ribbon-like object in the distance.
Jing Yu took off his black coat, watched quietly for a moment, and finally walked over and wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind.
"Do you like the view?"
Tang Shu, feeling the broad chest behind her and the familiar voice by her ear, instantly gathered her wayward thoughts.
"It’s beautiful, very beautiful."
Even though it’s winter and the mountain is bare, with not a leaf left on the once green trees, it is still a different kind of beautiful scenery.
However... the beauty before her eyes could not compare to the attraction of the broad chest at her back.
Oh, they are boyfriend and girlfriend; it’s nothing.
Tang Shu hypnotized herself with this thought.
Their relationship had started with just holding hands and took a big step forward with the confirming kiss that day. Jing Yu would leave a chaste kiss on her forehead every time he took her home after dinner.
Until today.
To hell with ’it’s nothing’, her entire back feels like it’s on fire now!
"Shouldn’t we head out? How about going to the scenic area?"
"The weather forecast says it will snow tonight, the scenery will be even better tomorrow."
Jing Yu had a different opinion, "Besides, I think you need some sleep, considering you only dozed off for half an hour on the way here."
"That doesn’t mean we can’t go out to have fun."
"It’s noon, shall we have lunch first?"
Tang Shu felt he was coddling her like a child, but what Jing Yu said made a lot of sense...
So after a simple wash up, they appeared in the hotel’s buffet restaurant on the second floor. Thankfully, the restaurant had private rooms, or else they would have had to settle for room service for all their meals.
A bowl of clear porridge, a mixed platter of various staples, along with several stir-fried dishes and grilled meats, made up their midday meal.
Jing Yu also got a cup of coffee and a warm milk from the drink section—of course, the milk was for Tang Shu.
"The chef says there will be a barbecue buffet tonight including seafood, and tomorrow’s breakfast will be lighter."
"This resort seems quite large, what else do they have here?"
"There’s a card room, swimming hall, gaming area, hot springs... and there’s one place I think you’d be interested in."
"What is it?"
"To the east of the resort, there is a plum blossom grove, and the buds are just about to bloom. Many tourists have gone there to take photos."
"Plum blossoms? Red or white ones?"
Tang Shu was indeed interested, for the last time she saw the plum blossoms was three years ago in Damo.
Seeing her eyes light up, Jing Yu chuckled softly, "Both."
"Then shall we go there later?"
"Better after a nap, and please, Miss Tang, spare a thought for your personal driver, okay?"
"..."
Tang Shu felt he was doing this on purpose. A personal driver certain to drink coffee with lunch?
