The four of them took a cab to the hotel to drop off their bags. Gu Kaifeng had booked the rooms; he originally intended to book one lovers’ suite and one standard room, but Lin Feiran had been there at the time, and with a heart set on revenge, Lin Feiran had made Gu Kaifeng change the standard room to a lovers’ suite too.
Before he and Gu Kaifeng got together, Wang Zhuo had teased them every day, so Lin Feiran wanted to make Wang Zhuo experience that terrible feeling too! But now…
Not only might Wang Zhuo not be embarrassed, he might even be pleased!
The four arrived at the hotel and went up to their rooms. Upon entering the room Lin Feiran first looked around with the Yin-Yang eyes, and discovered no long-term resident ghosts. Only then did he lie down, reassured, on the red heart-shaped two-person bed and start making out with Gu Kaifeng.
The two rested for a while, changed into fresh clothes, then went out to eat famous local food. After dinner, they walked around and bought some fruit, then went back to the hotel to rest.
The itinerary Gu Kaifeng had prepared was mountain-climbing tomorrow, then a holiday by the beach the day after. Because mountain-climbing was strenuous it was better to do it at the beginning of the vacation when everyone’s energy levels were high; if it were arranged later, everyone might be too tired to go. Even though they planned to do things separately from Wang Zhuo and the others, the others also wanted to mountain-climb first, so they were very likely to meet the next day,
Gu Kaifeng carried two big bags of fruit and waited with Lin Feiran on the first floor for the elevator. Just then, Wang Zhuo and He Hao also happened to return to the hotel.
On He Hao’s wrist hung a bag of tropical fruit, a big jackfruit in his hands. Wang Zhuo was drinking coconut juice out of a coconut through a straw. He looked up and saw them, and waved to Lin Feiran who was also holding a coconut and drinking juice: “Yo, sister-in-law likes this too?”
Lin Feiran looked at the delicate flower crown on Wang Zhuo’s head with a complicated feeling. “…Mm.”
Gu Kaifeng, who was also responsible for carrying the fruit, met He Hao’s eyes and exchanged a look of solidarity.
The roles of giver and receiver had been established!
Bright and early the next day, Gu Kaifeng and Lin Feiran got a cab and went to a scenic location. When they got there, Wang Zhuo was still lazing in bed. In their groupchat He Hao said he was currently wiping the face of Wang Zhuo, who wouldn’t get up, with a towel; in a while, he might even feed him breakfast.
Lin Feiran: “……”
Who would believe they weren’t dating?!
The two bought their tickets and spent another 5 yuan on a little booklet that had a map and descriptions of some scenic locations in the mountains. There were five peaks in this mountain range; the main one, Lotus Peak, had an old temple that was more than four hundred years old. It was said to be very spiritual; incense burned brightly there, and in its back garden grew a Bodhi tree which had a legend attached to it.
Lin Feiran followed the description in the booklet with his finger as he read attentively aloud. “Legend has it that three hundred years ago there was a monk named Cheng Guan. One day, on a journey down the mountain, he met a girl who fell in love with him at first sight; but due to the ascetic ways of the Buddhist faith they could not marry, and even seeing the monk was a pipe dream. The girl’s love tormented her and after her death, she turned into a Bodhi tree and now remains by Monk Cheng Guan’s side in the temple.”
Gu Kaifeng didn’t react at all; his eyes lay on the right page of the booklet, on the description of a glass bridge.
“What are you looking at?” Lin Feiran stopped reading and followed Gu Kaifeng’s gaze over.
