Chapter 130

Chapter 130

Chen Juan burst into tears upon hearing Men Jie's scolding.

Her tears fell like pearls from a broken necklace as she defended herself, saying, "Husband, you can't say that about me! I specially spent 60,000 yuan to buy this for you after seeing the advertisement on TV! How can you blame me like this?"

Chen Juan's miserable crying made the staff and guests feel sympathetic towards her.

"Sigh, see? This is what happens when you're obsessed with love! Chen Juan really loves Men Jie too much!"

"I've never seen a woman as good as Chen Juan. If she were my wife, I'd spoil her rotten!"

"Men Jie is really ungrateful. He's truly disgusting! I'm never going to be a fan of any artist from Jiechu Entertainment again!"

The viewers in the live comments also began to criticize Men Jie.

[You look like a sweet potato and you actually think you can get a wife? Not only do you not cherish Chen Juan, but you also treat her like this on the show. Men Jie, you're really disgusting!]

[Jiechu Entertainment is unlucky to have a boss like this. I feel so bad for the artists under him!]

[I've heard that Jiechu Entertainment often uses unfair contracts. Many artists have been deceived by them!]

[Wow, really? I need to look into this!!]

Seeing Chen Juan cry, Jin Yue'er was also touched.

She couldn't help but approach and gently take Chen Juan by the arm, patting her on the back and handing her a pack of tissues.

Chen Juan looked at Jin Yue'er gratefully, took the tissues, and started wiping her tears.

However, seeing Chen Juan like this made him even angrier!

Always acting pitiful, with no real abilities at all!

After finishing the recording of this episode, he would divorce her!

Thinking this, Men Jie's face showed an even more disgusted expression.

But Chen Juan's eyes suddenly flashed a cunning look that went unnoticed, quickly masked by her tears.

Seeing this, Zhong Mei, like Jin Yue'er, appeared concerned about the crying Chen Juan, but inside, she was overjoyed.

From this incident, it was clear that Men Jie no longer cared about Chen Juan! This increased her chances of success even more!

Now, she had only one final goal left: to make sure Men Jie got rejected by Jin Yue'er!

Once that happens, Men Jie will eventually fall into her hands!

As Zhong Mei was thinking about how to stop Men Jie and Jin Yue'er, a staff member suddenly approached the group.

The staff member announced to the guests, "To ease everyone's mood, the program group has arranged an indoor hot spring and massages for the guests. The reservations have already been made, so please follow me."

"Wait, wait!"

At that moment, Zhao Yulong finally rushed in from outside, flustered, holding a plate of salad he had somehow obtained.

"Shouldn't we take a break first?"

Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Zhao Yulong became very anxious because he was holding a salad that he had waited in line for a long time to buy for Yi Tiantian.

Jin Yue'er could hardly contain her laughter at the sight of Zhao Yulong's anxious expression.

This was the hardest he had ever pursued someone, from what she could remember!

Ignoring what a staff member was saying, Zhao Yulong handed the salad directly to Yi Tiantian and said solicitously, "Tiantian Ge, I specially bought this for you. Please give it a try. I heard that people here really like to eat this, and I stood in line for a long time just to get it..."

Zhao Yulong, in his anxiety, spoke rapidly, listing several reasons, afraid that Yi Tiantian would follow the staff out the door any second.

As Yi Tiantian looked at the anxious Zhao Yulong, he was just about to take the salad when suddenly, a large hand appeared in front of him.

The hand was strong and muscular, and with a slight exertion of force, it took the salad from Zhao Yulong's hand.

"Tiantian is managing his physique right now, so he can't eat too much for the time being," Xie Yi said.

Feeling that this explanation might not be enough, Xie Yi then picked up the fork from the salad bowl and took a bite.

"I'm feeling a bit peckish. You wouldn't mind if I had a bite, would you?"

Zhao Yulong, seeing Xie Yi's surprising series of actions, couldn't help but gape in shock.

How shameless!

The audience watching the live stream went crazy after seeing this scene.

[Teacher, is Mr. Xie making the first move?! When did our boy become so capable?!!]

[I knew I should have used my lunch break to watch this episode! This is so heartwarming, it's killing me hahaha!]

[Need I say more? The "Ru Hu Tian Yi, Yi Fei Chong Tian" combo, everyone gets it, right?! Hahahaha!]

[Just arrived, is this like Chinese New Year or something?]

Xie Niao, glued to the screen, finally smiled with satisfaction.

Her brother was finally getting it!

Even Jin Yue'er and Chen Juan, along with some of the staff members on-site, began shipping Xie Yi and Yi Tiantian as a couple.

Their eyes sparkled as they stared intently at them.

However, Yi Tiantian didn't notice anyone else's gaze at all.

"Huh? Am I gaining weight recently? Why does Mr. Xie want me to manage my figure?!!"

"It's over. I must have gained quite a bit of weight. Even Xie Yi, the company's general manager, can't stand it anymore!"

"This is all because Yueyue and Yangyang always make too many delicious things for me! It's definitely not because I'm greedy, definitely not!"

At this moment, Yi Tiantian was already racking his brain and constantly checking which part of his body had gained more weight.

In reality, Xie Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with Yi Tiantian's figure. On the contrary, he thought Yi Tiantian should eat more.

He had said those things purely out of selfishness because Xie Yi didn't want Yi Tiantian to eat the salad that Zhao Yulong had specially bought for him.

Thinking about how he had actually done something so... foolish, Xie Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

But words once spoken cannot be taken back, so Xie Yi calmly ate several more bites of the salad to prove that he was indeed hungry.

Zhao Yulong knew that Xie Yi was someone he couldn't afford to offend, so he nodded with a forced, wry smile. "Mr. Xie, if you're hungry, please go ahead and eat it all!"

This is extremely frustrating!

There was clearly nothing special between Xie Yi and Yi Tiantian, so why does Xie Yi keep interfering with my pursuit of Yi Tiantian?!

A wave of frustration washed over Zhao Yulong, leaving him thoroughly dejected.

After this brief interruption, the guests were led by the staff to the indoor hot spring located at the top floor of the mall inside the snow mountain.

"Wow, I never knew there were hot springs on the mountain!"

As soon as Jin Yue'er entered the hot spring, she exclaimed curiously.

Whenever Jin Yue'er spoke, two men always chimed in. Needless to say, these two men were Liu Yide and Men Jie.

Men Jie, although unsure why there were hot springs on the mountain, still flattered her with a sycophantic smile. "That must be because our Yue'er is too beautiful, and even the snow mountain produced hot water for you!"

It has to be said that Men Jie's words lacked any sophistication, like a writer awkwardly trying to show off their literary chops.

Chen Juan nodded obsequiously, but she was secretly laughing to herself.

This uneducated Men Jie will eventually be exposed for his fake degree!

Men Jie, thinking he had said something poetic, waited smugly for Jin Yue'er's response.

However, before Jin Yue'er could reply, Liu Yide suddenly interjected, "The reason there's a hot spring here is that it's not a real natural spring. The water here is artificially heated, but the biggest feature is that all the water here has been sterilized snow water."

Liu Yide had checked the guide before coming here. At the time, he did it to show off his attentiveness to Zhong Mei in front of the camera, but now it had become his trump card in pursuing Jin Yue'er.

Hearing Liu Yide's answer, Jin Yue'er became excited.

"Wow, so the water here is actually melted snow! I wonder if soaking in it feels any different!"

"It's said that tourists who bathe here feel unusually refreshed, which is why this hot spring is a must-visit spot for many tourists coming to the snow mountain."

This gave Liu Yide the perfect opportunity to elaborate. He launched into a detailed explanation, as if he were a walking encyclopedia.

The rest of the guests following behind them watched all of this unfold, their gossip-hungry curiosity ignited.

Especially Yi Tiantian, who was genuinely curious about which one of the two men, Men Jie or Liu Yide, would ultimately win Jin Yue'er's favor!

"Wow, tonight either Men Jie or Liu Yide will have some intimate contact with Jin Yue'er!"

"Damn, that scene is going to be pretty hot and spicy!"

When Yi Tiantian caught wind of this juicy gossip in the system, his eyes widened in surprise.

The rest of the staff and guests, who didn't know the outcome, were also filled with intense curiosity.

So, who would be the lucky person to have an intimate moment with Jin Yue'er tonight?!

Yi Tiantian, why won't you share more details?!

But the two most concerned about this question were the ones involved.

Both Men Jie and Liu Yide perked up their ears, eager to know if the lucky person was themselves!

However, Yi Tiantian seemed distracted by the hot spring's decor and stopped voicing his thoughts.

Finally, the audience, left hanging, could only continue paying attention to Yi Tiantian's inner thoughts as they followed the other guests into the hot spring facility.

The guests were divided into two groups and entered separate changing rooms to change into appropriate attire for the hot spring.

The female guests entered the same hot spring pool, while the male guests went into another one.

Since this hot spring trip was added at the last minute, none of the guests had brought suitable clothing for the hot spring. Fortunately, the facility provided swimwear, so this wasn’t much of an issue.

On the female side, which Yi Tiantian couldn’t see, the female guests had all changed into the provided swimwear. Meanwhile, on the male side, all the male guests had changed into the black swim shorts provided by the hot spring and entered the pool one by one.

As Yi Tiantian stepped into the hot spring, he was dazzled by the lines of abs in front of him.

Xie Yi's physique was, undoubtedly, the epitome of a well-built body—broad, well-defined back, broad shoulders, slim waist, and perfect proportions. His eight-pack abs were just part of his flawless figure!

Zhao Yulong's physique, while not as impressive as Xie Yi's, was still quite outstanding, also sporting an eight-pack.

Liu Yide was a bit less impressive than Zhao Yulong, with barely visible abs.

Men Jie had a bulging belly, with just one visible ab.

Looking at his own thin frame, Yi Tiantian couldn’t help but tremble.

"Teacher, do you need to have abs to soak in this hot spring? I’m a bit scared."

"It’s actually quite comfortable, surprisingly."

Zhao Yulong, who had just sat down, remarked. He turned to Yi Tiantian, deliberately displaying his abs, and then asked,

"Brother Tiantian, do you feel comfortable?"

Yi Tiantian, who had been browsing through gossip in the system just moments before, was startled by the question and didn’t react immediately.

Seeing that Yi Tiantian didn’t respond promptly, Zhao Yulong was about to get up and sit next to him.

But just as Zhao Yulong stood up, he saw Xie Yi, like a specter, suddenly wedge himself between them and naturally sit down next to Yi Tiantian.

Zhao Yulong had never seen someone so brazen in his life, but he could only grit his teeth and walk to the other side of Yi Tiantian to sit down.

Meanwhile, Men Jie and Liu Yide, each harboring their own ulterior motives, were waiting to hear Yi Tiantian’s inner thoughts to find out who would have an intimate encounter with Jin Yue'er that night!

Throughout the bath, Yi Tiantian was thinking a lot, but he never mentioned who the chosen one was.

This made both Men Jie and Liu Yide impatient.

After the bath, the guests felt much more relaxed, most of them having recovered from the strong winds earlier that day.

"Next is our massage session. Please follow me," a staff member announced to the guests.

Feeling refreshed, Yi Tiantian happily stood up and followed the staff out.

Upon arriving at the massage room, Yi Tiantian saw that the female guests had already changed into their swimsuits and were waiting for them.

As soon as Men Jie entered, Zhong Mei began to flaunt her deep cleavage, trying to catch his attention.

Jin Yue'er, however, just stood there, effortlessly commanding all eyes on her.

Everyone except Xie Yi, that is. His eyes were riveted on Yi Tiantian, afraid that Zhao Yulong might make any aggressive moves.

"For the next segment, we're going to hold a mini-event, and that is—"

As the staff announced the activity, the guests' eyes sparkled.

A massage meant physical interaction! This was sure to involve some bodily contact!

The guests each harbored their own ulterior motives, hoping to use this opportunity to have intimate physical interaction with their dream lovers.

"These people are completely fixated on physical closeness?!"

"No need to elaborate on Liu Yide and Men Jie, right? They've both forgotten about massaging their own wives and want to give Jin Yue'er a massage!"

"Even Zhao Yulong prefers not to massage his own wife! He wants to—"

"You want to massage me? No way!"

Yi Tiantian's eyes widened in shock.

"No way! I won’t let that happen!"

Yi Tiantian felt it was absolutely necessary to guard his body, not allowing Zhao Yulong to touch him in the slightest!

But as it turned out, Yi Tiantian was worrying for nothing, because Xie Yi had already stepped forward, blocking him and giving Zhao Yulong a stern glare.

Zhao Yulong: ...Why do I feel like I’ve already lost before I’ve even started?!

Of course, the talk of physical contact was merely the guests’ speculation. The actual rules were about to be revealed by the staff.

"In this activity, the guests will be paired up as couples. The men will give massages to their female partners," the event staff explained with a wry chuckle, pulling the guests lost in fantasy back to reality.

"Ah?!"

Men Jie and Liu Yide let out particularly miserable cries.

If that was the case, then they would have to give their own wives a massage next!

Men Jie looked at the timid Chen Juan and, for some reason, was reminded of her chestnut-red jacket with exposed armpits. Frustrated, he wanted to leave on the spot.

Liu Yide, on the other hand, looked at Zhong Mei, who was desperately flaunting her body and showing off her charm to Men Jie. A wave of resentment surged in his heart.

Why should he have to massage the woman who had betrayed him?!

Meanwhile, Zhao Yulong looked at Xie Yi with envy. After all, Xie Yi was the only one who could legitimately touch Yi Tiantian! All he could do was watch from the sidelines, filled with envy.
