I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 360 Teacher Zeng, in danger! Never mind, let me wash my feet first.

It gets dark earlier in Kunming.

Because it was too cold at night, there weren't as many people outside as in Shanghai, so everyone returned to the hotel early.

I definitely won't be able to sleep right now.

However, given that we need to leave for Yanji early tomorrow morning and then climb Changbai Mountain.

Instead of going to a bar for drinks, everyone stayed in their hotel rooms, visiting each other and chatting.

The group agreed to meet at Gu Yifan and Wan Yu's luxury suite.

The room is decorated in a retro style.

The warm-toned wallpaper, Western-style ornaments, and the old-fashioned rotary dial landline phone on the desk seem to transport you back to the Republican era.

When Guan Gu and Zhan Bo walked in, they happened to hear Mei Jia sighing.

"The north wind is howling outside, and we're wrapped in blankets, leaning against the warm fireplace, listening to Mom tell us those ghost stories. How was it?"

"Come on, it's so warm inside with the heating on, you can wear short sleeves, why would you need a blanket?" Hu Yifei complained.

"We might as well play Ludo," Ziqiao said dismissively, offering his objection.

"I think it's because you're always being targeted, Ziqiao, and you always end up being accused of being an inside man," Gu Yifan joked.

When this was mentioned, Ziqiao looked deeply resentful.

Normally it's one thing, but when they play Three Kingdoms Kill, they target him, no matter what his identity is, they want to kill him first.

Unfortunately, he himself was not up to par.

They always find an inside agent.

This is not fair!

"Yifan, the game you invented is designed to target me; we're incompatible!" Ziqiao shouted.

at this time
"Guan Gu Zhanbo, you're back!"

Beside her, Qin Yumo was lounging on the sofa, listening to the laughter of the crowd while applying nail polish to her delicate toenails.

Yu Guang noticed Guan Gu and Zhan Bo walking in, and smiled as she looked up to greet them.

"This room looks so big and luxurious," Zhanbo exclaimed as he curiously observed the suite.

It's much better than their double room.

It even has a living room.

A soft, deep red carpet; peanuts, dried fruit, and raisins on the coffee table; and an armchair large enough to accommodate half a person.

Gu Yifan shrugged. "The front desk said they could upgrade our rooms, so Wanyu and I did. If you want to upgrade, you can go downstairs and ask."

"No need for that." Guan Gu quickly waved his hand. Since experiencing bankruptcy once, Guan Gu has become less extravagant with money and has become more frugal.

Since we're only staying one night in Kunming, there's no need to upgrade our rooms.

"Oh, right, we brought roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes for everyone. Do you want some?" Zhanbo excitedly held up the plastic bag that was fogged up by steam.

"I'll have a sweet potato," Ziqiao said, raising his hand first.

"Potatoes...you mean potatoes, right? Will I gain weight if I eat them now?" Miss Qin asked hesitantly.

"It's okay, we have to get up early to climb the mountain tomorrow. It'll help us stay warm if we get some extra energy." Gu Yifan said, taking the bag and pulling out a sweet potato.

He simply broke the two ends open and handed them to Lin Wanyu and Yifei, who were sitting next to him.

"Ouch, it's so hot!" Lin Wanyu took it, then felt it was burning her hand.

"Putting it on your earlobe can cool it down." Although Hu Yifei also felt it was hot, she absolutely couldn't say it was hot if Wanyu said so, so she acted nonchalantly.

It was Ms. Hu's constant hand-switching that made Gu Yifan chuckle, even though the freshly baked sweet potatoes were still very hot.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Zhanbo asked Gu Yifan curiously.

"I'll have roasted potatoes." Gu Yifan prefers this kind of sticky, chewy food.

"Oh right, we're having dinner tonight. The huge bowl of rice noodles with dipping sauce that we packed is still in my room," Meijia said, remembering something.

Gu Yifan patted Miss Lin's calf, which was resting on his knee, and said, "Then I'll go get it."

“It’s alright.” Meijia waved her hand, then glanced at Lu Ziqiao, who was munching on a sweet potato, and pointed at him, “Let Lu Ziqiao go.”

"Why should I!" Lu Ziqiao shouted immediately.

“Just because you’ve lost several rounds, you should admit defeat!” Meijia said, raising her head.

Lu Ziqiao reluctantly put down the sweet potato, too lazy to argue with Meijia, and got up to leave.

The group ate roasted sweet potatoes and roasted potatoes, and then started chatting.

“By the way, how are we going to find Teacher Zeng tomorrow? Changbai Mountain is so big.” Meijia raised her hand to ask, and Mengmeng said, “We can’t just go to the staff and post missing person notices, can we?”

“That’s right.” Lin Wanyu nodded in agreement; she had also thought of this issue.

Although everyone planned to give Zeng Xiaoxian a surprise, they still needed to know where he was.

"I called Teacher Zeng, but he didn't answer, and he didn't reply to my messages either."

"If all else fails, let's go take a look first. We'll find something eventually." Gu Yifan easily peeled off the potato skin and took a bite.

Steam rose instantly from the yellow potato core, making it crispy and tender. Simple ingredients and simple cooking methods resulted in an absolutely delicious dish.

Yeah, it's a bit bland.

Gu Yifan planned to eat it with sauce later.

anyway.

For some reason, Gu Yifan had a restless feeling in his heart.

I don't know where it came from.

I hope I don't end up empty-handed.
"If all else fails, let Zhanbo take a look at Teacher Zeng's recent bank statements. Teacher Zeng will have to stay in a hotel eventually."

"We'll go over there then and give him a surprise," Gu Yifan suggested, swallowing a potato.

"That's a good idea!" Zhanbo's eyes lit up. "I know Teacher Zeng's bank account password!"

"Huh? How did you know?" Everyone was taken aback.

"Teacher Zeng's passwords are always the same few: his birthday or the premiere date of 'Your Moon, My Heart'."

Zhanbo shrugged, pulled out his laptop from his backpack, and said confidently.

"You'll know after you try it."

Gu Yifan and Guan Gu both gathered around Zhanbo.

Sure enough, after two attempts, Zhanbo finally entered Teacher Zeng's password correctly on the third try.

"Tsk, when Teacher Zeng gets old, he'll definitely be tricked into buying a bunch of health supplements," Gu Yifan muttered to himself.

The bank card password is so simple, it's easy to guess.

"Quickly check Teacher Zeng's spending records for the last two days," Guan Gu urged.

Zhanbo nodded, "Don't worry. I've got it. The Erdaogou Natural Hot Spring Couple Hotel opened the day before yesterday. Teacher Zeng booked three nights, so he'll definitely be there tomorrow!"

Indeed, finding someone is actually quite simple.

Zeng Xiaoxian's spending records for this period of time are all clearly written down.

In addition, he rented cold-weather clothing, mountaineering notebooks, backpacks, oxygen tanks and other supplies.

At this moment, Chen Meijia suddenly interrupted Zhanbo, "Wait a minute, why would Teacher Zeng be staying at a love hotel?"

As she spoke, Meijia chuckled mischievously, "Could it be that Teacher Zeng has had a romantic encounter?"

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet for a few seconds.

Then Guan Gu couldn't help but slap his thigh and burst out laughing.

"What? Teacher Zeng, a romantic encounter? Hahaha, Meijia, how did you come up with the idea of ​​connecting these two words? This joke is hilarious."

As he laughed, Guan Gu, seeing that no one was joining in, said innocently, "Isn't this funny?"

"Pfft!" Hu Yifei couldn't help but laugh, shaking her head and mocking him.

"For a coward like Zeng Xiaoxian to have a romantic encounter, I'd rather believe that Ziqiao has reformed."

Even Lin Wanyu couldn't help but chuckle, "I think it's probably because the hotel was cheap."

Zhanbo looked down and realized it really was quite cheap.

Everyone laughed.

Nobody believed that Teacher Zeng could have a romantic encounter.

"What if, what if Teacher Zeng suddenly gets it?" Meijia was still trying to save face for Zeng Xiaoxian.

However, when Mika herself spoke, she seemed somewhat guilty.

Everyone quietly skipped over the topic.

"Why hasn't Ziqiao come back yet?" Guangu asked in confusion.

It's just going downstairs to my room to get some vegetables with dipping sauce, does it really take this long?

"Who knows what kind of trouble this guy is up to this time?" Mika pouted. "He probably ran into a pretty girl on the street."

"Someone as glib as Ziqiao would probably get beaten up here," Gu Yifan said after thinking for a moment.

Girls in Northeast China seem to be more assertive.

If Ziqiao dares to act recklessly, he will suffer a terrible fate.

at this time.

Lu Ziqiao is back.

He burst through the door in a flurry of activity and immediately made a loud announcement.

"Everyone, I have good news and bad news! Which do you want to know?"

"Hey, didn't I tell you to go get the vegetables with dipping sauce?" Meijia rolled her eyes, showing absolutely no interest in Lu Ziqiao's news.

Seeing that Ziqiao's hands were empty except for a cucumber, he frowned and asked.

"Where's the food?"

"Crunch!" Lu Ziqiao took a bite of the cucumber and then realized, "Huh, I only took one cucumber. I thought I brought it back."

"Never mind, it's not important."

"Doesn't anyone want to know what I'm talking about?" Ziqiao was somewhat disappointed to see that no one seemed very curious.

Everyone shook their heads in unison, sighing that Ziqiao was indeed unreliable.

Zhanbo asked curiously, "What, did you run into Teacher Zeng?"

"Or aliens?" Guan Gu said with a serious expression, delivering his lame joke.

"If you want to say you met a few beautiful women, then there's no need to say anything," Ms. Hu said, rolling her eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Yifan walked over and snatched the cucumber from Ziqiao's hand, broke it in half, and then shoved the half that Ziqiao had bitten back into his hand. "Let me tell you the bad news first."

"The bad news is that there will be heavy snow starting tonight, and it will be a province-wide downpour," Ziqiao said.

"Isn't this great? We can see snow!" Miss Lin exclaimed with delight.

What kind of bad news is this?

Gu Yifan remained silent, his sense of unease growing stronger.

Sure enough, Lu Ziqiao shrugged and continued, "But it seems that it has been snowing heavily in Changbai Mountain since noon yesterday and it hasn't stopped yet."

Gu Yifan: "You said it snowed heavily on Changbai Mountain?"

“That’s right.” Lu Ziqiao nodded.

Gu Yifan didn't bother to ask Ziqiao how he knew; he had a bad feeling about it.

He quickly turned to Zhanbo and said.

"Zhanbo, go online and search for what happened."

Zhanbo nodded and started typing rapidly on the keyboard. After a moment, his expression gradually became serious.

"Changbai Mountain has been closed. It is said that there was a sudden heavy snowfall there, which turned into a blizzard. The scenic area has temporarily suspended operations to clear the snow!"

"Is there any other news, such as whether all the tourists have come down?" Guan Gu asked hurriedly.

Zhanbo quickly moved the mouse, and after a moment, he silently raised his head with a heavy expression.

"It says here that although most tourists have gone down the mountain, a small number of tourists are still forced to stay on the mountain and have not been able to return to the town."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

"What about Teacher Zeng?" Lin Wanyu belatedly realized what was happening and hurriedly asked nervously.

"If Teacher Zeng had gone up the mountain yesterday, he might have been trapped there by the heavy snow," Zhanbo said quietly after a moment's hesitation.

Everyone's expressions froze.

You look at me, I look at you.

Finally, they all said in unison.

"That means Teacher Zeng might be in danger! She didn't come down!"

"What do we do now?" Zhanbo panicked a little.

Lin Wanyu also let out a short scream, her voice trembling with tears, "Could it be that this bar is the last time we'll see Teacher Zeng before we pass away?!"

"Impossible, that bitch won't be frozen into an ice sculpture so easily." Hu Yifei shook her head, though her brows were furrowed.

Everyone was very concerned about Teacher Zeng's condition.

"Don't rush," Gu Yifan said, though he wasn't entirely sure himself, he still stepped forward to reassure everyone.

"Although some tourists are trapped, there is infrastructure on the mountain, so nothing bad will happen. Maybe Teacher Zeng has already come down."

"But Yifan, didn't you say that Zeng Xiaoxian didn't answer your messages or phone calls?" Qin Yumo continued.

This is true.

“No, you might not be able to receive calls in a small town because of a weak signal.” Gu Yifan shook his head, then his eyes lit up after thinking for a moment.

"Zhanbo, call the hotel where Teacher Zeng is staying and ask if he has returned yet."

Zhanbo slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Right, right, right!"

Zhanbo quickly took out his phone, found the phone number of the couples' hot spring hotel, and dialed it.

Everyone waited expectantly.

But a moment later, the phone started making a busy signal.

"I can't get through." Zhanbo tried several times but couldn't get through, so he had no choice but to look to Gu Yifan for help.

“So that explains why we couldn’t get through to Teacher Zeng on the phone,” Gu Yifan comforted Zhanbo. “It means there’s no signal in the town down the mountain either, so it doesn’t prove that Teacher Zeng is trapped on the mountain.”

Although everyone was anxious, no one could come up with a good solution.

"By the way, Lu Ziqiao, didn't you say you had some good news? What good news is it?"

Meijia turned to ask Lu Ziqiao.

Everyone turned to look at Ziqiao.

"Good news!"

“There’s a bathhouse on the sixteenth floor of our hotel! We can soak in it while we think about how to save Teacher Zeng,” Ziqiao said, spreading his hands.

"I estimate that with the heavy snow tonight, it's uncertain whether I'll be able to get there on time tomorrow."

It seems everyone is going to be trapped in the hotel.

Guan Gu was speechless. He stepped forward, grabbed Zi Qiao's shoulder, and shook him, yelling in frustration.

"What kind of good news is this! Teacher Zeng might be frozen solid!"

"But there's nothing we can do now. We can only hope that Teacher Zeng can successfully withdraw," Ziqiao said calmly.

Guan Gu was speechless.

Ziqiao added, "Even if we stay in the room, we'll just be anxious. Don't worry, everyone, I believe in Teacher Zeng. He's a lucky man, and nothing will happen to him."

By now.

As Ziqiao said, no one had any good ideas.

Finally, you looked at me, and I looked at you.

"How about... we go take a look at the bathhouse?" Meijia murmured, biting her lip.

"Meijia, you!" Lin Wanyu exclaimed, her beautiful eyes widening in disbelief that Meijia had betrayed her.

Meijia quickly explained guiltily, "I also care about Teacher Zeng, but I haven't grown wings, so I can't fly over there."

"Besides, the bathhouse culture in Northeast China is very famous, just like the hot springs in Japan! Don't you want to try it?"

Meijia excitedly pulled out a flyer, revealing that she had already shown interest in the bathhouse.

Lin Wanyu hesitated before taking it, and then looked at it together with the curious Hu Yifei and Miss Qin.

Wow! They have a buffet! And a seafood buffet at that!

"A bathhouse with a KTV and mahjong rooms?!"

"Beauty spas also include ear cleaning!"

The three women stared in disbelief. Was this really a bathhouse?

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

"Don't just think about it, take action!"

"Go go go! I'm off first."

As he spoke, Lü Ziqiao took the lead and walked out of the room.

"How about we take a look?" Lin Wanyu tugged at Gu Yifan's arm, feeling embarrassed to say it.

"Then let's go." Gu Yifan finally nodded.

Zhanbo was the only one who hesitated. He had never been to a bathhouse before, so what was it like?

"Zhanbo, you're all alone now, are you coming or not?" Gu Yifan called out to Zhanbo from the doorway.

Zhanbo then snapped out of his daze, quickly put down his computer and stood up, shouting, "Wait for me!"

Fifteen minutes later.

The bathhouse upstairs.

Spring City Hot Spring Palace

"Please take your name tags. The restaurant will be serving a buffet dinner tonight, and the price includes overnight accommodation. You can stay overnight in the lobby."

The waitress handed out the cards to everyone.

"Time for a bath!"

Meijia took the card, cheered, and ran to the left, followed by Yifei, Yumo, and Wanyu.

The three exchanged a helpless glance.

"Then we'll go in first." Lin Wanyu waved to Gu Yifan.

"Mm." Gu Yifan nodded.

Following Ziqiao, Zhanbo, and Guan Gu, they headed towards the men's passage on the right.

They agreed to meet in an hour and then each went to soak in their own water.

You wouldn't know until you came in, and then you were shocked.

The dazzling array of new things broadened the horizons of Guan Gu and Zhan Bo.

And there were many customers, making the changing room noisy.

"No wonder there are so few people on the streets outside, they're all indoors!" Ziqiao was shocked, he hadn't expected there to be so many people.

He seems to have discovered a new world.

"This is much more upscale than the foot bath places I used to go to."

Hearing Ziqiao mutter to himself, Gu Yifan raised an eyebrow and said, "So, you sneak off to wash your feet without telling us?"

"Ahem, didn't I say that?" Lu Ziqiao said, puffing out his chest. "I often visit foot massage parlors to do charity work."

"Wait a minute, Qiao, what does 'giving love' mean?" Guan Gu asked curiously.

"Tch, Guan Gu, don't listen to Zi Qiao's nonsense. The technicians he chooses usually have a tragic background: an early-deceased father, an ailing mother, and younger siblings still in school," Gu Yifan joked.

"Oh! So this is a charity event." Zhanbo suddenly realized.

Lu Ziqiao spread his hands, beaming with pride, "That's right. I ordered those technicians, I got the service, they earned money through their own efforts, and I even saved a broken family. Why not?"

"Oh my god, I want to do charity too." Guan Gu showed a shy but excited expression.

Gu Yifan shook his head. Dragging a respectable woman into this mess and trying to persuade a prostitute to reform—humans are truly strange.

There are different types of baths to choose from, including hot springs where you can even boil eggs.

You can also use it to make milk, sea salt, etc.

This shocked Zhanbo once again.

Although I came from Shanghai, the economic capital, I still felt like my eyes had been opened.

Because there are no public bathhouses in the South, you have to hang a curtain to bathe, let alone a group of men taking a bath together completely naked.

And just like that, everyone turned their backs on poor Teacher Zeng.
