I Didn't See Anything

Hearing the voice, Su Yang pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered, the girls all shot him strange looks.

Su Yang saw that they were sitting on their respective beds, having already changed into their pajamas.

"What's with you guys, staring at me so weirdly?" Su Yang said as he walked over to Pan Ning.

Pan Ning looked up at him, speechless. "Why did you come over here half-naked?"

"Half..."

"Oh, right!!" Su Yang suddenly realized. He was currently only wearing a bath towel wrapped around his crucial parts, and his upper body was still dripping wet.

At this moment, the girls on the two adjacent beds blushed slightly, looking at him with amused smiles.

Zhong Qing laughed, "I didn't expect you to have such a great body!!"

"Haha, you flatter me, you flatter me," Su Yang laughed, scratching his head.

Pan Ning couldn't be bothered to say much more; after all, it was pretty normal for guys to be shirtless.

Su Yang turned to look at her and asked, "So, why did you call me over?"

"To help us figure out how to fill the hot spring pool in the back."

"What? After all that, you just brought me here to do manual labor~"

"What else did you think you were here for~" Pan Ning crossed her arms and smiled faintly.

Seeing that smile, Su Yang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. "Uh, happy to be of service~ I'll go fill the pool for you."

Saying that, he hurried toward the hot spring area at the back of the room.

Meng Qianyu sat to the side, giggling foolishly.

"What are you laughing at? Go see if he needs any help."

"Alrighty~" Meng Qianyu agreed, hopping off the bed and following him inside.

Due to the position of the beds, Pan Ning's bed was blocked by a wall, so she couldn't see the pool area.

However, it was visible from the other two beds. At this moment, the four girls on those beds were all craning their necks to look at Su Yang in the back.

Zhong Qing whispered to Gao Yue beside her, "Yueyue, Su Yang's body is pretty nice, huh~"

Gao Yue nodded and gave a thumbs-up. "So handsome!!"

"Stop looking, if you want to look at someone, go look at your Chu Qiunan~"

"I'm just appreciating the view! If guys can appreciate beautiful women, why can't girls appreciate handsome guys~"

"Mhm, that's true. Keep looking then."

"Let's look together~"

......

In the pool area at the back, Su Yang stared blankly at the pool in front of him and muttered to himself, "Why is their pool so big?"

Indeed, the hot spring area in the girls' room was more than twice the size of the boys' room next door.

The pool itself was also large, easily capable of accommodating six to eight people without any problem.

"What's wrong, Brother Su Yang?" At this moment, Meng Qianyu walked up beside him and asked.

"Oh, I was just saying that your pool is way bigger than ours."

"Really? Shouldn't they all be the same?"

Su Yang shook his head. "No, ours can only fit four people."

"Isn't that perfect then?"

"Old Chu and Ji Bo couldn't fit, so they went to the main public hot spring area."

"Oh, well, as long as you guys can soak, it's fine."

Su Yang nodded and walked over to where the water controls were. The pool was square-shaped, and at each of the four corners, an arm-thick bamboo pipe extended from the ground, designed to pour water into the pool simultaneously.

However, when Su Yang crouched down at the main switch and fiddled with it for a long time, no water came out. "Huh? Why isn't there any water?"

"Yeah, exactly! We messed with it for ages earlier and no water came out, which is why my sister told me to go get you for help."

Su Yang examined it carefully. "Could it be broken? We might have to call the staff over to take a look~"

"Ah, it's broken? Is our luck that bad?"

"Never mind, let me take another look." Su Yang tilted his head and fiddled with it a bit more. Finally, he discovered that the main water valve hadn't been turned on.

"Damn it." Su Yang opened the main valve and then turned on the water again.

This time, the water flowed out normally.

"There we go~"

"You're amazing, Brother Su Yang!" Meng Qianyu immediately clapped and cheered when she saw the water flowing.

Su Yang laughed. "The main valve just wasn't open. What temperature do you guys want the water at?"

"Around 40 degrees Celsius should be good, right?"

"Mhm, that sounds about right. Since I'm already here, I might as well finish the job and adjust the water temperature for you before I leave."

"Alrighty~"

The water gushed into the pool from all four bamboo pipes simultaneously, filling it up before long.

After adjusting the water temperature, Su Yang smiled and said, "All done. Come test it out."

"Okay." Meng Qianyu walked to the edge of the pool, crouched down, and reached out her hand to feel the water.

As she felt it, she nodded. "Mhm, not bad, not bad. It's just right."

"That works then. I'm taking off."

"Thanks, Brother Su Yang~"

"You're welcome." Su Yang said as he started walking back toward the room.

However, he had only taken two steps when a sudden scream came from behind him.

Followed immediately by the sound of someone falling into the water.

Splash!

Su Yang immediately turned around to look. Because he had splashed a lot of water around the edge of the pool while filling it,

and combined with the slippery tile flooring around the pool, Meng Qianyu's foot had slipped as she stood up, causing her to fall right in.

Su Yang quickly ran over to pull her up. Meng Qianyu had her eyes squeezed shut, poking her head out of the water while thrashing around and screaming, "Save me!!"

As she screamed, she reached out and flailed wildly, happening to grab onto the hand Su Yang was extending to her.

The moment she grabbed Su Yang's hand, she yanked it as if clutching at a lifeline, pulling the completely unprepared Su Yang right into the water with her.

"Ah!!" This scream didn't come from Su Yang or Meng Qianyu.

It came from the four girls in the room, as they had witnessed the entire scene unfold perfectly.

The whole process happened very fast; the girls in the room had barely turned their heads before the two of them were both in the water.

"What's going on back there with all the yelling?" Pan Ning turned her head and asked.

"They fell into the pool." The other girls were about to go help, but then they suddenly remembered that the pool wasn't deep at all. The water only reached mid-thigh at most, and with Su Yang there, they didn't need any help.

Pan Ning said, exasperated, "I was wondering what happened. Just ignore them, it's not like there's a lake back there."

"True." The girls stopped and continued to watch.

Pan Ning, meanwhile, went back to looking at her phone.

At this moment, inside the pool, Su Yang wrapped his arms around Meng Qianyu and stood up straight.

"Stop wailing, you're acting like you fell into the ocean~"

As he spoke, the four girls in the room who had a clear view of the pool area suddenly widened their eyes and covered their mouths.

Over here, Meng Qianyu wiped the water from her face before finally managing to open her eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she was compelled by some strange force to look down.

With just one look, her eyelids twitched violently, and her face visibly flushed bright red.

Su Yang also suddenly felt a draft around his thighs. He glanced down, immediately widened his eyes, and plopped his butt right back into the water.

"Holy crap! It actually fell off."

Meng Qianyu was still staring at him in a daze.

Su Yang put his index finger to his lips, wanting to remind Meng Qianyu not to scream. However, just as he was about to speak, his eyes caught sight of the four girls on the beds diagonally across the room several meters away.

He saw the four of them staring unblinkingly at him with knowing, auntie-like grins.

"I'm screwed, they saw everything." Su Yang clutched his head.

"B-Brother Su Yang, I-I-I didn't see anything," Meng Qianyu stammered as she hurriedly scrambled out of the pool and ran toward the room.

Su Yang helplessly fished around in the water to find his lost bath towel. He picked it up and quickly wrapped it around his body before standing up again.

"I'm so done."

......

Meanwhile, the three guys soaking in the hot spring next door looked completely confused. Liu Bo asked, "Why has Brother Yang been gone for so long?"

"Yeah, it's been at least ten minutes, right?" Zhang Ziming said.

"More than that, it's been fifteen minutes," Meng Wenzhou said calmly.

"Holy crap! Yangyang wouldn't be doing something reckless, would he??"

Meng Wenzhou rolled his eyes at Zhang Ziming. "Do you really think that's possible?"

"Hehe, just kidding. But he really should be back by now. Oh, wait, I just thought of something!"

"What is it?" Meng Wenzhou and Liu Bo asked.

"He went over there wearing nothing but a towel just now."

"That's no big deal. It's totally normal for guys to be shirtless."

"True. Let's ask him when he gets back."

......

Meanwhile, in the girls' room.

Looking at the completely drenched Su Yang and Meng Qianyu, Pan Ning stood up and asked, "What are you two doing?"

Su Yang looked at Meng Qianyu. "Ask her."

Meng Qianyu scratched her head and said with a blushing face, "I slipped. I didn't realize right away that I was in the hot spring pool, so I yelled for help. Then Brother Su Yang came to pull me up, and I ended up dragging him into the water with me."

Pan Ning glared at Meng Qianyu speechlessly. "I am honestly speechless. Look how old you are."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Yang, grabbed his hand, and said, "Come with me."

The two walked into the bathroom and closed the door with a bang.

"What are we doing?" Su Yang asked, stunned.

"What do you think?"

"Huh? Right here? That's... probably not a good idea," Su Yang grinned.

Pan Ning rolled her eyes at him. "I think you've gone stupid too!"

Saying that, she picked up a dry towel from the rack and handed it to Su Yang. "Use this. Hurry up and dry off so you don't catch a cold."

Su Yang smiled, took the towel, and laughed, "You're the best."

"Hurry up."

"Alright." Su Yang quickly stripped off his soaking wet towel, then used the dry towel to wipe himself down before wrapping it around his lower half again.

"OK."

Pan Ning, who had watched the entire process from the side, said calmly, "Alright, you can go back now."

"Will do. I'm heading out."

"Wait."

"What's wrong?" Su Yang turned to look at her.

"When you fell into the water just now, did your towel fall off too?"

"Uh... I think so."

Pan Ning closed her eyes speechlessly. "Did Qianyu see?"

"Uh... probably... not. I was underwater."
