Seriously, sir? You can even pursue a professor?

Days passed by, and before we knew it, the start of the new school year was fast approaching.

Tang Zheng stared at the cold 200,000 yuan in his account, his expression unmoved.

In nearly two months, the amount went from 10,000 to 200,000, which is not bad.

One must eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time; steady development is the way to long-term success.

That day, Tang Rui's college roommate called her, saying that she had opened a hot spring resort in the suburbs of Hancheng, which had top-notch private hot spring villas, and invited her to try it out.

Upon hearing this, Tang Rui immediately waved her hand and, along with her best friend and her live-in servants, went on a trip.

On a weekday morning, there weren't many cars on the road. About two hours later, we arrived at the outskirts of the city. The car wound its way up the mountain road and arrived at the resort hidden halfway up the mountain.

The white-walled, gray-tiled Chinese-style buildings are nestled among the green trees, and the air is so fresh that you want to take a few more breaths.

Tang Rui's college roommate, Lin Wei, dressed in a smart uniform, with shoulder-length short hair, delicate earrings, and light makeup, looked like a successful career woman. She personally came to the entrance of the resort to greet them.

Tang Rui briefly introduced her best friend and her maid.

"That's so unfair, Rui Rui. We've been sisters for so many years, and I had no idea you had such a handsome younger brother."

As Lin Wei spoke, she turned to Tang Zheng beside her and asked with a smile, "How old is your younger brother? Does he have a girlfriend?"

"What are you doing?" Tang Rui walked up to Tang Zheng, shielding him behind her, and looked at Lin Wei warily.

"Look at you, so wary of thieves. Do you think I'd eat our little brother?" Lin Wei rolled her eyes at her. "Alright, I have some things to do here. I'll have someone take you to the villa. We'll catch up tonight. Remember to bring your little brother along."

"Hurry up and leave!" Tang Rui waved her hand and said irritably.

"Goodbye, little brother." Lin Wei waved to Tang Zheng with a smile, then turned and left.

Tang Rui watched her leave, then turned to Tang Zheng behind her and instructed, "If this woman asks for your contact information or anything, don't give it to her, understand?"

Having spent four years in college, she knew her roommate all too well; her innocent younger brother couldn't withstand the ravages of this slut.

"Don't worry, sis, I don't like that."

"So what kind do you like?"

"I like... long hair," Tang Zheng said, glancing at Ruan Hongzhuang standing next to him.

A few minutes later, led by a young woman in uniform, they arrived at a detached courtyard. Pushing open the heavy wooden door, the group went inside.

The courtyard is decorated in the same Chinese style as the outside. In front of the house is a huge floor-to-ceiling window that connects to a semi-open courtyard. On one side of the courtyard is a natural rock hot spring pool with steam rising from it, and on the other side is a square swimming pool that is not very big but has crystal clear water.

The courtyard offered excellent privacy, with a bluestone wall separating it from the outside world. The only sounds were the rustling of bamboo leaves and the gurgling of the hot spring water. The uniformed young lady left her key card, gave a brief introduction, and then left.

The three of them chose their own rooms. Tang Rui picked the one closest to the entrance, Ruan Hongzhuang chose the one in the middle, and Tang Zheng had no choice but to stay in the one furthest inside.

Tang Zheng put Aunt Ruan's suitcase into her room. "I'm leaving, Aunt Ruan."

"Mm," Ruan Hongzhuang replied.

Tang Zheng glanced at her, a hint of expectation in his eyes, then turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.

At this time in his previous life, because he and Lin Luoxi had established a relationship and were deeply in love, he spent almost every day revolving around Lin Luoxi, so he did not come to this resort.

So he had no idea how beautiful Aunt Ruan would look in a swimsuit.

Ruan Hongzhuang locked the door, drew the curtains, opened her suitcase, took out a swimsuit, placed it on the bed next to her, and began to take off her clothes.

As the layers of clothing were removed one by one, large expanses of snow-white skin were exposed to the air...

Tang Zheng returned to his room, changed into his swimming trunks, and then slipped on his slippers and walked out of the room.

The air in the courtyard was fresh and moist, unique to the mountains, mixed with the faint sulfurous smell of the hot spring. He came to the hot spring pool and waited quietly. His body was reflected in the clear pool water.

After this period of training, combined with the foundation he had built before, his physique, while not as exaggerated as some of the gym gurus, is already quite good, and he even has defined abs.

A gentle breeze rustled the bamboo leaves, and Tang Zheng's gaze unconsciously drifted toward the tightly closed door in the middle of the room.

Just then, the closed door made a slight opening sound, and Tang Zheng quickly turned his gaze elsewhere.

The door was gently pushed open, and Ruan Hongzhuang stepped out.

As if drawn by the sound of the door opening, he turned his head, his eyes filled with anticipation, and looked over quite naturally...

Why are you still wearing a bathrobe? Who are you trying to keep an eye on?

Ruan Hongzhuang wore a beige knee-length bathrobe with a knotted belt at her waist. The collar of the bathrobe overlapped perfectly, revealing nothing except her neck and a small section of her delicate collarbone.

She was wearing ordinary women's slippers, and the red nail polish on her toes had disappeared, restoring them to their original healthy and natural light pink color, clean and clear.

She glanced at Tang Zheng standing by the hot spring pool, then walked out unhurriedly.

"Aunt Ruan," Tang Zheng greeted her.

"Hmm," Ruan Hongzhuang replied, then went to the edge of the pool, pulled her feet out of her slippers, dipped her toes into the water, and tested the temperature.

In the sunlight, those feet were as beautiful as works of art.

Tang Zheng glanced at it impassively, his throat bobbing involuntarily.

The next second, her smooth and delicate feet were put back into her slippers. Ruan Hongzhuang raised her hand, gently untied the sash of her bathrobe, and took it off, placing it on the chair next to her.

Inside was a blue swimsuit, with a short-sleeved top and shorts on the bottom, simple and elegant, without any fancy designs.

But swimsuits are different from clothes; they fit the skin very closely, clearly outlining Ruan Hongzhuang's extremely hot figure, paired with her snow-white skin and shapely, long legs...

Tang Zheng couldn't help but glance at it, and then glance at it again...

"If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out." A pleasant, magnetic, and calm voice suddenly rang out.

Tang Zheng glanced at her and muttered somewhat resentfully, "Who told you to be so pretty?"

Ruan Hongzhuang glanced at him, "What?"

Tang Zheng glanced at her incredibly long legs and said, "Aunt Ruan, it's a shame you're not driving a tricycle with such beautiful legs."

Ruan Hongzhuang looked at him, then suddenly raised her arm and pointed in a direction.

Tang Zheng subconsciously looked in the direction she was pointing...

Ruan Hongzhuang took a step back, then raised her long leg and kicked Tang Zheng in the buttocks.

"Hey!" Tang Zheng exclaimed, and then there was a splash as if a bomb had been thrown into the calm pool, creating a huge spray of water.

Tang Zheng thrashed around in the water like a landlubber for a couple of seconds before awkwardly standing up.

He wiped the water from his face, pointed at the culprit above, and said, "Come down here if you dare!"

Just then, Tang Rui came out wearing a swimsuit similar to the one Ruan Hongzhuang was wearing.

Ruan Hongzhuang stepped forward, her fair feet slipping out of her slippers and slowly entering the hot spring pool.

She leaned against the pool wall, glanced at Tang Zheng, said nothing, yet seemed to have said everything.

Tang Zheng was annoyed. He glanced at his older sister who was walking towards him, then looked down into the water. He quickly reached out and grabbed a small, fair foot that was not far from him.

The moment your fingertips touch it, it feels delicate and warm, like the finest mutton fat jade, with a watery luster.

The next second, Tang Zheng quickly scratched the sole of his foot.

Ruan Hongzhuang paused, and reflexively pulled her foot away. Tang Zheng could feel those delicate toes curl up unconsciously in his palm.

Just then, Tang Rui walked to the edge of the pool, and Tang Zheng subtly withdrew his hand.

"You two are pretty quick, you didn't even say you'd wait for me," Tang Rui complained, kicking off her slippers and entering the hot spring pool, where the warm water enveloped her.

"Ah...so comfortable." Tang Rui closed her eyes and let out a pleasant sigh.

Tang Zheng raised his hand and gave Ruan Hongzhuang a peace sign, a victorious smile on his face.

Ruan Hongzhuang glanced at him coldly, then turned to look at Tang Rui beside her. "Tang Zheng just told me some things about your past."

"What did you say?" Tang Rui opened her eyes abruptly.

Tang Zheng's expression changed, and he made a gesture of begging for mercy towards Ruan Hongzhuang.

Ruan Hongzhuang glanced at him. "I promised him I would keep it a secret. I can't tell."

Tang Rui looked at Tang Zheng diagonally opposite her with a sullen face, "What did you say about me?"

"I didn't say anything." Tang Zheng glanced at Ruan Hongzhuang. "Aunt Ruan lied to you."

Tang Rui turned her head to look at Ruan Hongzhuang beside her.

Ruan Hongzhuang nodded. "Yes, he didn't tell me anything. I lied to you."

Tang Rui glanced at her, then charged straight at Tang Zheng, yelling, "You bastard, you've got some nerve! Daring to speak ill of me!"

"Help! I'm innocent!"

Ruan Hongzhuang looked at Tang Zheng, whose ear was being grabbed by Tang Rui, and slowly raised her hand, making a peace sign.

Two hours later, Tang Rui was taken to a spa by the uniformed young lady. Ruan Hongzhuang didn't like those things and went to the pool next to her to swim.

Tang Zheng sat on a chair on the shore, watching Ruan Hongzhuang stretching her body in the pool like a fish, feeling a little envious.

"Aunt Ruan, could you teach me?"

Ruan Hongzhuang stopped, turned to look at him, and said, "Get down."

Why did you agree so readily?

I'm afraid this might be a scam.

Tang Zheng glanced at her, his eyes filled with wariness. "Aunt Ruan, you wouldn't take this opportunity to retaliate against me, would you?"

"No," Ruan Hongzhuang replied decisively.

"Then swear it."

"Take it or leave it." Ruan Hongzhuang continued swimming, her graceful figure like that of a real mermaid.

Tang Zheng glanced at her, got up, went to the edge of the pool, and jumped in.

Let him get his revenge; after all, he has a heart that loves learning.

Compared to the hot spring, the pool water was cooler. As soon as Tang Zheng plunged into the pool, he instinctively splashed around a couple of times before awkwardly standing up.

Ruan Hongzhuang swam slowly to his side, her light blue swimsuit clinging to her skin in the clear pool water, outlining smooth and beautiful lines.

"Relax your body. I'll teach you how to breathe first. Take a deep breath, put your head in the water, and slowly exhale through your nose until you see bubbles come out. Then lift your head and inhale." She gently held Tang Zheng's arm, her tone calm and earnest.

Tang Zheng listened and did as instructed, and soon mastered the rhythm of breathing.

"Now try to float, relax your body, and straighten your arms and legs."

Tang Zheng tried, but his body was stiff and he kept sinking.

Ruan Hongzhuang swam to his side, supporting his abdomen with one hand and gently holding his shoulder with the other. "Relax, don't be nervous, imagine yourself as a piece of driftwood."

Her hands were warm, and she held him firmly with a steady strength.

Tang Zheng took a deep breath and tried to relax his body. With her help, he slowly floated up.

"Very good." Ruan Hongzhuang's voice was right next to my ear. "Now try to kick your legs slowly and keep your balance."

Tang Zheng followed suit, initially clumsily, but with Ruan Hongzhuang's patient guidance, he gradually began to get the hang of it.

"Do I have a talent, Aunt Ruan?" He turned to look at her and asked.

"Mm." Ruan Hongzhuang nodded.

Before he could even feel happy, Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly pulled her hand away from his abdomen, and almost simultaneously, the hand that was supporting his shoulder pulled him to the side.

"Glug... Ugh!" Tang Zheng was caught off guard and lost his balance, falling into the water and swallowing a mouthful of water.

When he finally stood up, disheveled, and wiped the water off his face, he saw that Ruan Hongzhuang had already swum a couple of steps away and was leisurely leaning against the pool wall, water droplets slowly sliding down her fair neck.

"Your sense of balance is terrible." Ruan Hongzhuang looked at him and gave her evaluation in a flat tone, "Your sense of water is also terrible."

"Teacher Ruan is right. I'm too stupid. Please guide me patiently again, Teacher Ruan." Tang Zheng looked like he was humbly seeking advice.

When she arrived, he did this, then that...

that is it.

Ruan Hongzhuang glanced at him and said, "I'm tired, let's talk about it next time." With that, she went straight up the escalator to the shore.

Tang Zheng stood quietly in the water, watching her step onto the bluestone slabs by the pool. Water droplets rolled down her graceful body, leaving winding marks on her plain blue swimsuit, passing over her long, white legs, and landing on the ground.

They're leaving already?

Are you not going to teach anymore?

Did I get nothing from touching my abs?

"Let me teach you a little longer, Teacher Ruan," Tang Zheng suggested.

Ruan Hongzhuang ignored him, picked up the white towel hanging on the back of the chair, wiped the water off her body, and sat down on the bench. Her long, snow-white legs were splayed out, making Tang Zheng squint.

Ruan Hongzhuang picked up a grape from the fruit plate next to her and put it in her mouth. She glanced at him and said, "Beg me."

Tang Zheng paused for a moment. How could a real man...

"Please, Teacher Ruan."

We're waiting for you to come!

Ruan Hongzhuang picked up another grape and put it in her mouth.

"It's no use begging."
