Foreign girls are something else.

Han So-yeon and Jin Xiangmei were also picking out swimsuits. Han So-yeon chose a white two-piece cut-out swimsuit. Jin Xiangmei, being a bit more conservative, selected a one-piece swimsuit that resembled a dress.

Su Yang and the other two guys came over to where Pan Ning and the others were browsing. Meng Wenzhou looked at Jiang Xiaotang, who was about to grab a one-piece, and called out, "Xiaotang, that one doesn't look good on you."

"How do you know it's not good if I haven't even worn it yet?" Jiang Xiaotang blinked in confusion.

"The most a one-piece can do is look okay. If you're buying, go for a bikini!"

"B—who wears a bikini to soak in a hot spring?" Jiang Xiaotang shot Meng Wenzhou a glare, grabbed her swimsuit, and headed to the register.

"Too conservative," Meng Wenzhou muttered with a shake of his head.

Pan Ning and the others didn't choose bikinis either. Most went for two-piece or one-piece swimsuits.

They finished picking quickly and gathered at the checkout counter to pay.

After paying, they split up and headed to the men's and women's changing rooms.

The guys were quick—there wasn't much to change into anyway, just a pair of trunks. They slipped them on and stepped out. Not wanting to wait for the girls, they accepted towels from the staff and headed straight for the hot spring pool.

They walked through the lobby corridor, pushed aside a gray curtain blocking the view, and stepped into the outdoor hot spring area. A few meters ahead lay a huge circular pool, its edge lined with polished black marble.

Lucky for them, the pool was empty at the moment.

This hot spring pool was massive, big enough to hold twenty to thirty people. Steam rose steadily from the water's surface, creating a misty, smoke-filled scene that felt like entering a fairyland.

Around the main pool were three smaller ones.

The entire hot spring area was enclosed by wooden walls with a strip of lights running along them, barely illuminating the pools. Beyond the walls stretched pitch-black forest.

All in all, it had great atmosphere—soaking in a place like this at night was incredibly relaxing.

"Whoa, damn, it’s freezing!" A gust of chilly wind blew, and Liu Bo rubbed his arms briskly as he hurried over to the pool edge.

"Yeah, it is a bit cold," Meng Wenzhou agreed, his skin breaking out in goosebumps.

"I think it’s fine," Su Yang said as he walked over and sat down by the pool.

"Aren't you cold?"

"Not at all. I’ve got a good constitution."

"Tch, forget I asked."

A screen on the far side of the pool displayed the current water temperature: 43°C.

Even with the reading, Liu Bo didn't rush in. He first dipped his hand in to test the water.

Su Yang, in contrast, didn't care about that. He sat right down in the pool, rested his head on the edge, and covered his face with a towel.

"Mmm... this is great."

[Ding, detected that the host is extremely relaxed and enjoying the moment. Reward: 3 million.]

"Whoa, Yang Ge!"

"What's up?" Su Yang replied, eyes still closed.

"Doesn't it burn for you?"

"Nope, the temperature is just right."

"Man, you're a real freak," Liu Bo said, scooping some water onto himself to adapt. After a full minute, he slowly dipped his legs in.

"Agh!! It's so hot! How the hell do you soak in this?"

"It's only 43°C. How hot can it be? Plus, with all that fat on you, shouldn't it protect you from the heat?" Meng Wenzhou laughed.

"That has nothing to do with it. Give it a try yourself."

Meng Wenzhou sat by the edge and dipped both legs in.

"Mmph! Yeah, it is a bit hot."

"Haha, and you made fun of me."

As they were chatting, the girls' voices sounded behind them.

The three turned to look, just as Pan Ning and the others stepped out from behind the gray curtain.

"No one wearing bikinis. Boring." Meng Wenzhou turned away and slid into the pool.

"Meng Ge, Meng Ge!! Hold up! Who says there are no bikinis?" Liu Bo quickly grabbed him and shouted.

Hearing this, Meng Wenzhou turned his head again. This time, Jiali and the other three following behind Pan Ning came out as well.

All four were wearing sexy bikinis—some were triangle tops, others bandeaus—very eye-catching.

"Damn, look how open-minded they are. Gotta love foreign girls," Meng Wenzhou called out to Su Yang. "Old Su, take a look."

Su Yang pulled the towel off his face, turned around on the pool edge, and his eyes widened. "Damn, nice!"

The four girls were laughing and walking toward the pool. Betty and Winnie wore black and blue triangle-top bikinis.

Both had amazing figures, naturally blessed with the body proportions typical of Caucasian women, which had the three guys staring wide-eyed.

Jiali and Muxi were in strapless bandeau bikinis. Even before, when she was in a dress, Su Yang had noticed something exaggerated about Jiali's curves, but now in a bikini, it was even more striking.

Meng Wenzhou and Liu Bo quickly shifted their gaze.

Among the four, Jiali had the highest figure score, followed by Betty and Winnie, both scoring 92. Muxi was slimmer all around—pretty in her own right, but compared to the others, she came up short.

‘Damn Jiali's at least an E cup! No wonder she scored 95. That's impressive.’

Betty and Winnie were a bit smaller but definitely at least a D cup.

The three guys couldn't take their eyes off them, especially Liu Bo, whose smile had stretched from ear to ear.

"At last, foreigners! This is how you dress for a hot spring, hahaha!" Liu Bo laughed.

"Shh, shh, shh, they're coming over. Wipe that creepy grin off your face," Meng Wenzhou quickly nudged Liu Bo.

……

"Look, those three are already in," Jiali said, pointing at Su Yang and the others.

"Come on, hurry up—it's freezing out here. Let's get in the water before we catch a cold."

The girls trotted over to the opposite side from Su Yang and the others, where they could better show off their figures.

At this point, Su Yang had only his head above the water, so the girls couldn’t see his physique yet.

Meng Wenzhou called out, "Ladies, get in the water! It feels amazing!"

"Really? Is it too hot?" Su Qingci asked.

"It's a little hot at 43°C."

"Then why are you telling us to get in?" Meng Qianyu shot a glare at Meng Wenzhou.

……

Just then, the last to arrive, Han So-yeon and Jin Xiangmei, also came out.

Su Yang sat up and waved at them. "Come on over!"

"I'm coming."

But when he sat up straight, Jiali and the others froze in place.

"Oh my god!!!" Betty stared straight at Su Yang, her gaze practically gluing itself to him.

Western women generally like men with some muscle and a masculine vibe, and Su Yang fit that ideal perfectly.

Betty and Winnie unconsciously swallowed. Jiali and Muxi both blushed, their minds wandering to who-knows-what.

"Damn?" Liu Bo, sitting next to Su Yang, suddenly blurted out.

"What is it?"

"Little Jin actually looks pretty good in a swimsuit. She's got a nice figure!"

Su Yang followed his gaze and gave Jin Xiangmei a careful look. She seemed like a different person compared to before.

She wore a one-piece swimsuit that didn't show much, with a skirt-like frill around the hips for coverage, but the tight fabric hugged her curves nicely, showing off her shape well.

Although she wasn’t tall, her legs had a nice shape, and her overall figure was pear-shaped with a bit of extra weight.

Even standing next to Han So-yeon, with her long legs, she didn’t look inferior, and more importantly, her chest seemed even more generous than So-yeon’s.

“Hey? Quite a change.”

—System, scan.

【Jin Xiangmei, Age: 20】

【Height: 162 cm】

【Weight: 54 kg】

【Appearance: 78】

【Body: 88】

【Romantic Experience: 0, Single】

【Battle Count: 0】

【Traits: Gentle, considerate, somewhat introverted, fairly conservative, but with a wild heart】

—Interesting traits, and I didn’t expect her body score to be so high. Her appearance almost hits 80 too. Not bad, a good match for Fatty.

As he was thinking, the two walked over to Su Yang.

“Take it slow when you get into the water—it’s a bit hot,” Liu Bo warned.

“Okay, thanks,” Jin Xiangmei replied in Chinese.

Hearing this, Liu Bo’s eyes went wide, and he stammered, “You… you can speak Chinese?”

Jin Xiangmei nodded. “A little.”

“Damn, I just realized you two are studying in Shanghai. So you must speak it too, right?” Su Yang asked, looking at Han So-yeon.

Han So-yeon smiled and nodded. “Yes.”

“Shit! I never asked you that.”

“Since we’re studying in Shanghai, we naturally picked up some Chinese,” she said.

“Your Chinese is good enough for normal conversation. Why didn’t you guys say anything earlier?”

“Forgot…”

Su Yang shook his head with a laugh. “Haha, alright, try the water and come on in.”

“Okay,” the two replied, walking to the side to get ready.

Meng Wenzhou then leaned close to Liu Bo and said quietly, “Fatty, here’s your chance.”

“What chance?”

“This Jin girl. Come on, man, think about it. She’s studying in Shanghai and can speak our language. Now you’ve got a way to talk to her, right?”

“Oh, true!”

“Hehe, so the opportunity’s right in front of you. It’s up to you whether you seize it.”

“Should I give it a try?”

“Go for it. This Jin girl’s pretty good-looking.”

“But that Han girl can speak Chinese too. Why don’t you push me toward her?”

Meng Wenzhou rolled his eyes. “She’s clearly not your type.”

“Why?”

“Figure it out yourself. I’m not going to bring you down.”

“Damn? That’s discrimination, pure discrimination!”
