Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 557 Leisure Time (Hot Spring)
The broadcast reached their ears through the wind and snow, causing them to exchange a glance.

"Are we leaving?"

Sana Minato shrank her chin, feeling the cold wind blowing down her neck, and moved her snowboard closer to Kwon Seonhyuk.

"Why don't you stay here tonight? Do you have any other plans after this?"

Quan Xuanhe looked up at the heavy snow, easily caught a few snowflakes, and crushed them in his hand.

We were having a great time, and we had no plans for tomorrow. Since the snow was falling so heavily, we decided to stay here and spend the night.

Isn't there a hot spring here?
"I?"

"I have no schedule..."

Sana Minatozaki answered quite readily, but her eyes were secretly scrutinizing him.

Spending the night together—what an ambiguous phrase.

"No plans? Fine, I'll just stay here for the night."

Quan Xuanhe's tone was decisive.

It was already three or four in the afternoon. If we packed up now and headed back to Seoul to get home, it would be seven or eight at the earliest. The main problem was that traveling back and forth would be too much trouble.

"em..."

Sana Minatozaki pouted, considered for a moment, and then readily nodded, "OK!"

She and Kwon Heonhyuk shared a similar mindset: if you're going to play, you should play to your heart's content.

Sana Minatozaki, who had just felt a little worried during the broadcast, was now completely free of any worries. On the contrary, she felt that the heavy snow was particularly fitting for the scene and wished that the snow would fall even heavier.

Have as much fun as possible.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk put his camera away. It was obvious that the increasingly heavy snowfall was obstructing the view even more than when the two of them had just arrived. The distance was shrouded in a gray haze, and the swirling snowflakes drifted in the air before disappearing completely.

Although it obstructs the view, it makes people even more excited.

Sana Minatozaki wobbled as she moved her skis, preparing for another attempt. "OK!"

Snowflakes danced in the air, and the number of people on the ski slopes dwindled, as if they had all chosen to leave after hearing the announcement. In the end, only a few scattered black dots remained on the slopes.

The world was shrouded in a white blanket of snow, snowflakes slowly piling up on both sides of the snow track, and a biting wind blew through the gaps to meet our faces.

Sana Minato felt more and more interested and energetic as she skated, and she felt herself becoming more and more skilled. It was completely different from when she first arrived and was constantly being attacked from below by Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

After coming to a somewhat clumsy but stable figure-eight stop, Sana Minatozaki turned her head to look at the advanced ski slope above.

At this moment, only one figure remained, and one could vaguely see him gliding gracefully and smoothly on the snow track, moving with ease, even more professional than the professionals.

In the blink of an eye, he could only see the figure getting closer and closer.

Is it over?
Sana Minatozaki stood there waiting for his arrival, and even raised her head and waved with great interest.

The figure tore through the wind and snow, the howling sound growing louder and louder, before finally coming to a beautiful side stop in front of her, stirring up ripples of snowflakes on the snow track.

"Let's go!"

The mention of leaving seemed to bring out their fatigue, so the two took off their skis and slowly started walking back.

Sana Minatozaki looked like she was struggling to hold it, and seeing this, Kwon Hyunhyuk reached out and took it from her, his voice ringing in her ear, "Let me do it."

As the two boards were taken from her hands, she felt a sudden lightness in her body. Minatozaki Sana looked up at Kwon Hyun-hyuk and exclaimed, "Charada!" She didn't hold back her praise.

In the hall, which had been sheltered from the wind and snow and instantly become warm, Sana Minatozaki took off her goggles and hat, smoothed her flattened hair, and after some fussing, it became fluffy again, reflecting a few golden rays under the warm yellow light.

Only then did the fatigue in her body surface, causing Sana Minato to let out a long sigh of relief and follow Kwon Hyun-hyuk somewhat slowly.

After returning the ski equipment, Kwon Hyun-hyuk took off his helmet and smoothed his hair.

"His hair is hilarious."

Sana Minatozaki looked up and saw his hair, which was flattened and plastered to his scalp. She pointed at him and started laughing, not forgetting to take out her phone to take a picture.

The image is somewhat blurry, but it clearly captures Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

She put her phone away with satisfaction.

"Let's go check out the hotel."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk patted her, signaling her to follow him.

When the two arrived at the hotel affiliated with the ski resort, the hotel lobby was magnificent, the scent of perfume filled their nostrils, and soft background music echoed. Inside the lobby, they saw many people dressed like them, wearing windbreakers.

The two stepped onto the doormat, rubbed their shoes a few times to clean the soles, and then came inside.

"I'm sorry, only the deluxe suite and the presidential suite are available."

The hotel receptionist looked at the two of them, her tone slightly apologetic, her gaze shifting back and forth between them.

They look like a couple.

"Isn't there a hot spring here?"

Sana Minatozaki nodded, then asked curiously.

She noticed the hot springs when she chose to come here, but she didn't know if she wanted to spend the whole day here, so she didn't go with Quan Xuanheti.

"The hot springs are included in the presidential suite."

"That's what the receptionist replied."

"Then let's have two presidential suites!"

Seeing that Sana Minatozaki had this idea, Kwon Hyun-hyuk simply took out his wallet, pulled out a card, and handed it to the receptionist.

Money is no problem; it's the smallest issue.

But as the receptionist reached out to take the bank card, a pair of fair, slender, and jade-like hands blocked Quan Xuanhe's way.

"I'll pay!"

Sana Minato looked up at Kwon Hyun-hyuk, smiling charmingly and speaking in a cheerful and generous tone, while handing her card to the receptionist with her other hand.

"Need not."

Quan Xuanhe shook his head, broke free from her hand, and handed the card directly to her.

"I'm sorry, there's only one presidential suite with a hot spring included left."

Appeared!
"There's only one left?"

Sana Minatosaki's tone was surprised, and her gaze was astonished.

"Um... I'm sorry, due to the weather today, some of the hot springs are closed and cannot remain open."

The receptionist sounded apologetic and began to explain.

How many rooms are in the suite?

Sana Minatozaki started asking questions, clearly indicating that she preferred soaking in the hot springs and didn't want to miss the opportunity.

There is a king-size bed and a single bed.

"Okay then, I'll sleep in the single bed."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk understood her thoughts and made the decision immediately.

Seeing that Quan Xuanhe had already entered the password, Minatozaki Sana was a little stunned. She carefully observed the expression on his face, and after finding nothing suspicious, she looked away with a strange expression.

If that's the case, it's fine to book two separate rooms; there's no need for them to sleep together.

Even platonic friends of the opposite sex can sleep in the same room without worry.

Right?
However, she didn't voice her suspicions at this inopportune moment, as she herself harbored some ulterior motives.

The astute receptionist noticed the unusual relationship between the two and quietly processed their check-in. The presidential suite wasn't located in the hotel building; instead, a shuttle bus picked them up and took them through winding roads, where a thick layer of snow had already accumulated on both sides.

Arriving at the other side of the ski resort, the most luxurious suites in this ski resort are small villas with artificial hills, gravel, and open-air hot springs.

The two of them carried their suitcases inside.

From the doorway to the entryway, the gravel path underfoot was buried under a layer of snow, leaving two footprints of varying depths.

Quan Xuanhe turned on the heating throughout the room, put his suitcase aside, and then looked at the size of the single bed room that the front desk had mentioned. In reality, it wasn't much different from a normal double room.

The only problem is that the king-size bed is especially large; it seems that three or four people could easily sleep in it.

"call!"

Sana Minatozaki immediately took off her mask, unzipped her windbreaker, and took off her outer garment, feeling a sense of relief wash over her.

Her long brown hair, illuminated by the warm yellow light, made her look refined and elegant. The delicate necklace on her smooth, fair neck shimmered and sparkled under the light.

She plopped down on the soft sofa, but then remembered something and stood up abruptly, excitedly heading off to find the hot springs.

Where is the hot spring?

Her voice echoed in the suite, and Quan Xuanhe's voice followed at the same time, "The hot spring is here!"

Sana Minatozaki listened to his voice and followed his footsteps to the back of the room, where she saw the semi-open hot spring with a large floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the mountains, rivers, and snowscape.

Large and small pebbles piled up around the spring, the gurgling sound of the water entered her ears, and the rising mist on the water made the place seem like a fairyland.

She saw Quan Xuanhe squatting on the ground with his back to her. He turned around as if he heard her footsteps, his fingers just touching the hot spring water. "The water is a little hot."

"It's okay, a little bit hot is fine."

When Sana Minato saw such a stylish scene, her eyes sparkled. She took small steps to the hot spring, squatted down like Kwon Hyun-hyuk, rolled up her sleeves, and touched the water with her finger.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, she splashed the water twice and then withdrew, smiling a little sheepishly, "It is indeed a bit hot."

"The water temperature should be adjustable. Let me see how to do it. You go and tidy up first."

Sana Minato smiled sweetly and agreed in a coquettish manner. At this moment, she seemed to fully appreciate Kwon Hyun-hyuk's ability to solve problems as a man. She stood up and walked back with light steps.

Quan Xuanhe stood up and, sure enough, saw the central control panel on the wall. He walked over and lowered the temperature a few degrees.

That's right, how could this place possibly be a natural hot spring?

After a day of playing, Quan Xuanhe really wanted to soak in a hot spring to relax and relieve his fatigue.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk returned to the living room and sat down, only to see the courtyard outside the floor-to-ceiling windows opposite the living room.

There are oddly shaped pebbles, trees, and grass, which are especially charming under the heavy snow.

He looked around and found that Sana Minatozaki's suitcase was open on the ground, but she was nowhere to be found.

"Sana?"

Quan Xuanhe called out, but he himself lay back on the sofa, sinking into the softness, feeling lazy all over.

"Mo Hei?"

Sana Minato peeked out, then walked into the living room and looked down at Kwon Hyun-hyuk, who was lying on the sofa.

I don't know when she took off her fleece top and changed into light clothes. Her hair was clipped up, revealing her smooth forehead. She was applying face wash and rubbing her face with her hands.

"If you remove your makeup now, won't you take photos while soaking in the hot springs?"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk lay on the sofa watching as Sana Minato's fair face was covered in foam, creating patches of black and red.

"Soaking in a hot spring should be a comfortable and enjoyable experience. It would be tiring to take photos while wearing makeup."

While rubbing her face, Sana Minatozaki spoke eloquently and logically.

"Go change your clothes quickly."

She glanced at Quan Xuanhe, who hadn't taken off his shoes or changed his clothes, urged him on, and then turned and went back to the bathroom.

Just as Quan Xuanhe was about to get up, his phone started buzzing with messages.

When I opened my phone, I saw more than a dozen messages from Liu Zhimin.

I was so focused on skiing that I didn't check my phone, and by the time I came down, I had already received several messages from her.

"Oppa has already skated up?"

Why aren't you saying anything... (bursts into tears) (throws a tantrum)

"You're not allowed to ignore me!! (Angry)"

"Rehearsals are starting again, it's so tiring..."

Attached is a photo.

"Oppa is skiing, how can he not even look at his phone for so long..."

(Knock you) (Hit you) (Hammer you)

"The snow seems to be falling heavier and heavier."

"Is Oppa okay?"

After reading these messages, Quan Xuanhe could clearly feel the emotions she was conveying—the girlish sentiments that were almost undisguised.

"The snow is too heavy, so we're not going back. We're going to stay here for the night."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk took a picture of the living room and sent it to Yoo Jimin. The next second, it was read, followed by what seemed like a reply from Yoo Jimin.

"Qinjia, isn't oppa coming back tonight?"

Do you live alone?

Liu Zhimin immediately grasped the key information and began to ask follow-up questions.

"No, we live together. There are no other rooms available, so we have to make do with living together."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk spoke the truth and had no intention of hiding anything.

"what…"

"Living together is too ambiguous."

"What are you thinking? There are two rooms in the suite. Don't overthink things."

Liu Zhimin breathed a slight sigh of relief, her sense of crisis dissipating somewhat, but she wasn't completely at ease, after all, who knew what would ultimately happen?

"The main reason is that the suite has a hot spring. After a long day, it's nice to soak in the hot spring to relax."

"Want to soak together?"

This question made Quan Xuanhe ponder, his eyes fixed on the bathroom, where the sound of water could be heard, and he began to think.

Whether or not they go for a soak together depends on what Sana Minatozaki thinks.

"of course not."

Since he was unsure, there was nothing he could do but give Liu Zhimin this answer for the time being.

"All right…"

Liu Zhimin still felt a little awkward, but seeing that Quan Xuanhe's attitude was quite honest, responding to every word and not avoiding the question, she decided not to press him any further.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk put away his phone, stood up, took off his shoes and coat, and felt a sense of lightness over his body.

His gaze swept around the room, then he saw the freezer. He opened it and saw several bottles of foreign liquor, as well as some red wine.

The man picked up a bottle of red wine, looked at it, and a good idea suddenly popped into his head.
