After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 121 Hot spring bath

It's not suitable to soak in hot springs for too long, so the three of them got out of the water after a short while.

After soaking in a hot spring, you should definitely go for a sauna.

The sauna room is located in the upstairs rest area, which is very convenient.

The three of them ordered two large tubs of ice cream, various snacks, and even fried chicken, and ate snacks while sitting in the sauna.

"This was supposed to be a weight-loss treat..." Yusjia looked at the creamy ice cream and took a big bite.

"Forget it, I'll start dieting after I finish eating," Ling Shuangyue said with a laugh.

Jiang Lingyu nodded, "This ice cream is really good! It's freshly made."

Ling Shuangyue chose a currently popular variety show and started showing it.

As the episode of the variety show was about to end, the three of them couldn't resist coming out of the sauna for some fresh air.

After washing up again, it was almost noon.

Yuska: "I'll go back first."

Ling Shuangyue: "Okay, I'll go with you. Of the three of us, I'm the only one who's familiar with mountain bikes. Anyway, I don't have anything else to do." After saying that, she turned to Jiang Lingyu and said, "There's a spare mountain bike in the front yard of each house. If you're willing to try, you can ride it yourself. If you don't know how, I'll pick you up after I drop Jiajia off."

Jiang Lingyu waved her hand, indicating that she understood.

Yu Sijia and Meng Weiyuan's wooden house is quite a distance from Jiang Lingyu's place; it takes about seven or eight minutes by mountain bike.

Upon entering, Yustia exclaimed, "Hey, doesn't seem like anyone's here?"

Ling Shuangyue was still in the courtyard when she heard this, and said, "Then they might be in the public bathhouse at the top. Come on, I'll take you there."

Yuska then turned back.

"The hot spring pool at the top of the mountain is particularly large, and the temperature is also the highest. I don't really like it; it's a bit too hot," Ling Shuangyue said after You Sijia got back into the car.

“But the scenery over there is quite nice. Although the mountain isn’t very high, it offers a panoramic view of the area. Plus, with the snow falling now, it’ll be great for taking pictures,” Ling Shuangyue said. “Why don’t you call Xiaoyu and ask if we can pick her up and go up the mountain together?”

Just as You Sijia was about to agree, Jiang Lingyu's message popped up first.

“No need.” Yuska smiled after reading it. “She’s already driven her mountain bike up there to wait for us.”

As we climbed the mountain, the snow accumulation at the summit increased.

Fortunately, the road for vehicles had already been cleared by the staff, so apart from being a bit slippery, it was relatively smooth.

The heat that Yusijia had just accumulated in the sauna was gradually dissipating as the increasingly beautiful snow scene came into view.

We've finally reached the summit.

Perhaps it was because the hot spring pool here was very large, and the water temperature was just as Ling Shuangyue had described, the hottest it could be, but after getting out, You Sijia didn't feel that cold.

Ling Shuangyue parked the car and pulled You Sijia inside. "We're here!" she said loudly, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the pool.

Yuska was initially a little embarrassed, but without much thought, she knew that those on the mountaintop were probably all men.

Meng Weiyuan wasn't soaking in the hot spring in his room; he'd probably been summoned by Wang Xingzhi and the others. She glanced around, intending to find Meng Weiyuan, but her gaze suddenly stopped and landed on someone else.

Ling Shuangyue then noticed the snow-white figure in the pool, so different from the rough men. She immediately frowned. "Wei Ning?! Didn't you say you were going back to sleep?"

Isn't that Wei Ning in the pool?

Yu Sijia and Ling Shuangyue, who were on the shore, both knew exactly what the girl was up to when she went down to soak in the hot spring wearing a bikini.

Wei Ning wasn't alarmed when she heard Ling Shuangyue's reprimand. She turned around and looked at Ling Shuangyue with a pitiful expression. "Sister Shuangyue, I came up after taking a nap. I didn't expect my brother and the others to be here too..."

After saying this, she looked at You Sijia standing next to Ling Shuangyue and explained seriously, "My brother and I grew up together since we were little. Besides, I just came back from abroad at Christmas and I have a lot to say to my brother."

Ling Shuangyue was annoyed. She was too lazy to argue with Wei Ning, so she looked up and shouted at Ling Yumang, the man she knew best among the group of men, "Ling Yumang, don't you have a brain?"

Ling Yumang was suddenly yelled at and was still a little dazed when he met Ling Shuangyue's eyes, which were practically spitting fire.

He felt somewhat helpless; his two younger sisters seemed to have never gotten along well since childhood.

But both options were equally important, and he found it difficult to make a decision.

“Wei Ning didn’t come with us originally…” Ling Yumang explained, “You can’t expect her to go up the mountain and then come back down, can you? That back and forth would make her too susceptible to catching a cold.”

Ling Shuangyue was speechless, but she couldn't find any way to refute Ling Yumang's words.

Just as everyone fell silent, You Sijia suddenly smiled and patted Ling Shuangyue's hand beside her. "It's alright, they're all very familiar with each other anyway. If they wanted something, they would have already done it. To them, Miss Wei is no different from their own sister." At this point, You Sijia sighed, "Perhaps the customs in the North are different from those in the South. Although Xiaoyu also has an older brother, when we go out together, she doesn't bother hanging out with a bunch of boring men, since we don't have anything in common. I wonder what Miss Wei will talk about with Meng Weiyuan and the others here?"
After saying this, Yusijia looked at Wei Ning with great curiosity.

Before Wei Ning could answer, You Sijia, as if discovering a loophole in her words, rolled her beautiful eyes and said, "That doesn't seem right either, does it? Yueyue doesn't like to bathe in the same pool with these big men either. It seems that Miss Wei is closer to them?"

Listening to the first part of You Sijia's words, Ling Shuangyue thought that she really didn't care about Wei Ning. However, when she heard the rest, Ling Shuangyue couldn't help but want to laugh.

She and Wei Ning weren't exactly at odds, but there was something inexplicable about it. Whenever she wanted to find Ling Yumang, Wei Ning would go to her brother instead. Perhaps it was because she was a bit older than Wei Ning, so at first she was willing to give way to him.

But over time, Ling Yumang seemed to get used to prioritizing helping Wei Ning when both she and Wei Ning had something to do.

If she were to say that Wei Ning had taken away her brother's affection and therefore she was dissatisfied with Wei Ning, it would sound rather strange. Besides, she had long been used to being independent and didn't need to rely on or depend on anyone, so she couldn't bring herself to say such a thing.

However, there will still be a subtle sense of unease.

Unfortunately, it's really hard to find someone to talk to about this kind of distress.

After all, people around her would tell her that no matter how much Wei Ning was favored in her family, she was surnamed Wei, while she was surnamed Ling. Wei Ning could never have what she had in her life, so why bother to care about such a person?

Hearing Yu Sijia's neither soft nor hard rebuttal to Wei Ning, she really wanted to laugh.
