Professor, your turtle!

The day of the trip was a Tuesday and the weather was sunny.

What's even more rare is that even the smog in the urban area has dissipated. Ji Fan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the apartment and opened the curtains. He could see the clear blue sky in the distance.

There was a tinkling sound from the kitchen, and he was stunned for a second, then his face turned black, and he rushed into the room hastily.

Sure enough, it was Professor Fu Da who was preparing breakfast.

The man was holding half a raw egg in one hand, frowning and looking at the bowl in his hand, the eggshell, egg white and yolk were mixed and broken inside.

Ji Fan hesitated: "Mr. Fu, that, eggshell..."

Fu Mingyuan: "..."

He pursed his lips: "I can't eat it, I know. But I can't take it out."

Ji Fan: "..."

Obviously, his hands are yellow and white, probably from trying to fish the egg shells out of the rice bowl.

Ji Fan couldn't bear to look directly, covered his eyes, took the apron from the side and hurriedly put it on, and said, "Let me do it."

He dumped the dying egg gentleman into the trash can, picked a new one, moved a little distance while knocking, and motioned for Fu Mingyuan to look at it: "Here, hold this place, break it apart lightly, and then..."

"Ok?"

Suddenly, a magnetic voice sounded against his ears, and his warm breath sprayed on the side of his neck.Ji Fan's hand shook violently, and half of the eggshell fell into the bowl with a "click".

Ji Fan: "..."

Fu Mingyuan circled him from behind, and smiled smugly: "Well, you're not very good either."

Ji Fan glared at him bitterly, and his ears almost became as pink as the rabbit apron on his body.

The two messed around in the kitchen, and in the end they could only share a small plate of "crispy" scrambled eggs with eggshells.

After breakfast, they took the train to N City to meet other students. When they first arrived, they were one person and one turtle. When they returned now, Mr. Fu would have to buy a ticket for Ji Fan, who was in the form of a humanoid.

He was a bit regretful, after all, the current classmate Ji couldn't lie in his coat in public.

The train arrived early and they were the first to reach the hotel.

The hot spring hotel is hidden on the back of a hill in the suburbs of N City, surrounded by green trees. There are seven or eight natural hot springs in total, which are divided into two pavilions, east and west.

They entered from the entrance of the West Building. The Japanese-style wooden buildings are exquisite and light. The garden is paved with cobblestones to form staggered paths, and small stone lamps are placed in the grass beside the road.

Occasionally, I passed by a few vacant and dilapidated small shrines, and I don't know if there were any gods enshrined in the past.

Walking all the way closer, when I looked up, I saw paper lanterns dangling under the eaves.

It was afternoon, the lantern was still not lit, and the word "soup" was scrawled on it.

"Ah," Ji Fan was a little surprised, "It's really Japanese style."

The waiter who led the way turned his head when he heard the words, smiled at them, and said: "Yes, our first boss was an overseas Chinese who returned from Japan. Before the outbreak of World War II, he passed by Xiaotang Mountain and found that there was a natural hot spring here, so he specially invested in a hotel."

"Before he came, there was nothing in our mountains, and the traffic was very inconvenient." She stretched out her finger and pointed to the direction they came from, "Look, even this road was repaired at the expense of the boss himself."

Ji Fan let out an "oh", thinking, in those days, he should be a rare good person who was willing to pay and hire people to build roads.

"Everyone is very grateful to him, right?"

The waiter pursed his lips and smiled, but said nothing.

Push open the paper door, take off your shoes and enter the room. On both sides are traditional wooden lattice windows pasted with white thin paper, and the lighting is very good. However, the wooden corridor they pass is long and winding, and there are no people in the front or back. After a long time, it will inevitably make people feel a little flustered.

Ji Fan: "Is... still far away?"

"Quick, quick, just ahead."

When the wind blows, the lanterns under the corridor whirr, revealing many signboards with the word "soup".

Ji Fan subconsciously leaned towards Fu Mingyuan.

Fu Mingyuan embraced him with one hand, and said calmly, "Your boss' surname is 'Tang'?"

"Ah, no, it's not. 'Tang' not only refers to Xiaotangshan, but also means 'hot water' in Japanese." She bowed slightly, and pushed open a door, "Here we are."

She made a "please" gesture: "Guest, you are staying between the bamboos."

There is a long corridor, the doors on both sides are closed, but only their room is lit with neat tatami mats.

It has probably been uninhabited for too long, and there is a faint moisture in the air.

Ji Fan swallowed nervously: "Then... what about the others?"

"Well, the rest of the guests are all in the east hall. Originally, this season, the west hall is not open, but," she smiled embarrassedly, "there are too many of you, and the booking date is tight, so talent……"

Ji Fan wanted to ask more questions, but was gently pulled away by the person behind him.

Fu Mingyuan took two steps forward, blocked him intentionally or unintentionally, and said coldly, "Got it, it's fine."

The waiter stood there, raised the corners of his lips, and smiled at them friendly.

Putting down his luggage, Ji Fan called up the map on his phone and looked carefully: the east and west buildings have separate gates, and the buildings are not connected, to be exact, they are completely isolated.

"If you want to go to the East Pavilion from here, do you have to go down the mountain again?"

"No, no need. You can go through the path in the garden, there is a small door there." She took out a flashlight and handed it to them, "It might be a little dark at night, so be careful not to drop it."

"Thank you."

"Then, if there's nothing else, I'll go downstairs first. It's almost four o'clock, and I have to prepare dinner and..."

Fu Mingyuan spoke abruptly, interrupting her: "The whole west building, only the two of us live here?"

"Ah, yes. But I will always be on duty at the service desk downstairs. If you need anything, you can ring me anytime. My name is Xiaoyun."

The two sent the waiter Xiaoyun away, and the paper door slowly closed behind their backs.

Ji Fan looked at the interior furnishings curiously.

I have to say that although it is a bit deserted, the layout of the West Building is very elegant.Probably as compensation, the "Bamboo Room" replaced by the hotel is very spacious, and there is even a small independent hot spring in the courtyard.

"Ha, it seems like the two of us are the only ones out to play." Ji Fan tried the steaming hot spring water and felt relieved, "It's actually quite good."

Fu Mingyuan curled his lips: "It's not bad."

"But... such a good West Hall, even if it is off-season, there is no need to close it?"

Fu Mingyuan shook his head: "I don't know." He took out two sets of bathrobes from the cabinet and handed them to Ji Fan: "Go and change them first?"

Ji Fan obediently went into the room to change clothes. When he came out, he saw Fu Mingyuan squatting by the hot spring pool, wondering what he was looking at.

"What's wrong?" Ji Fan approached, and saw the blades of grass shaking, as if some small animal was running away in a hurry.

"It's okay." Fu Mingyuan stood up, "Here, mobile phone. Xu Haifan just called you several times, and they are here too."

Xu Haifan has indeed arrived, and he was still yelling "Hey Ji Fan, why are you still here" on the phone, the voice was so loud that it could almost be transmitted directly from the east hall, but Fu Mingyuan said coldly, "What's the matter", Instantly turned off the fire.

Ji Fan lowered his head and glanced at the screen, only to see a lengthy text message complaining from classmate Xu, he couldn't help laughing: "Why do you keep targeting Haifan? He didn't know you answered it."

"'Sail'?"

Ji Fan: "...Okay, classmate Xu."

Fu Mingyuan squinted his eyes: "I don't know if it's me? So he usually talks to you like this?"

Ji Fan raised his forehead: "Forget it, forget it, pretend I didn't say it."

——This person from the deep mountains and old forests, if he went on, he was really worried that Comrade Xu's life would be lost.

Outside the window, the sun was already in the west. The two picked up the flashlights and walked all the way down the mountain road. Sure enough, they saw the small garden that Xiaoyun said.

There is a quiet path at the end of the garden, white roses are blooming on both sides of the path, and there is a small carved iron gate in the middle of the path.

"Don't tell me it's the same hotel?" Ji Fan stepped over the threshold and looked back, "Why do you need to use iron gates to separate them? Isn't it very inconvenient?"

Fu Mingyuan shrugged, took his hand, and quickened his pace.

Sure enough, the west hall was much more lively, and the children's noises could be heard from a distance.

To be honest, there are not many students who are in the mood to participate in the graduation trip, and some students go out to play alone.At this moment, there were no more than a few dozen high school students standing in the lobby, plus the teacher who led the team, Lao Xu.

Old Xu's face was haggard. When he saw Fu Mingyuan from a long distance, he jumped up suddenly, almost with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Fu! Mr. Fu is here—"

Seeing an acquaintance, Ji Fan quickly shrank back, withdrew his hand and stuffed it into his pocket, bowed his head and kept a distance from Fu Mingyuan.Fu Mingyuan glanced at his little movements, but didn't speak.

"Mr. Fu, you're finally here. It's so kind of you to help me, otherwise, what would I do with so many students..."

Old Xu held the roster in one hand and held up the room key in the other, and squeezed over with difficulty.

The corners of Ji Fan's lips twitched: "Kindness? Help?"

Fu Mingyuan looked calm: "His father is a retired teacher next door to us. When he mentioned that his son needs help, I came here on my own initiative."

Ji Fan: "..." Why is this guy so noble when he speaks of self-serving public welfare without changing his expression?

On the other side, Xu Haifan also found him through the crowd, his eyes were bright, and he ran all the way like a dog having fun, but halfway saw Fu Mingyuan standing next to him, and barely stopped.

"Why are you staying with 'him'?" He lowered his voice, sneaked up and poked Ji Fan with his elbow.

"We..." Ji Fan hesitated for a moment, and said lightly, "I met him in the T University exam a few days ago, so we came here together."

"Oh!" Xu Haifan is a goldfish memory, and he forgot his doubts in a blink of an eye, "How did you do in the exam?"

"good."

On the other side, Old Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Mr. Fu, just now the front desk of the hotel told me that there are not enough rooms. I originally arranged for three students to share a room, or how about one room for four people? He scratched his head in embarrassment, "Besides, the teacher doesn't have a single room anymore, so I have to trouble you to squeeze in with me."

"No need," Fu Mingyuan glanced at the roster, "They provided me with a double room in the west hall, and I can go there alone, and bring a student who can't live here by the way."

"Oh, what a shame..."

Old Xu scratched his head and laughed dryly, but he couldn't think of a better way for a moment - if he wanted to assign someone to live in the West Hall, only Fu Mingyuan would be there.As for himself, he had to stay in the east hall to take care of these little bastards.

But let Fu Mingyuan help take care of the students?Hey, who dares to live with him?

Old Xu imagined it roughly, and shivered.

To be honest, he even felt a little bit sorry for the child who was about to be taken away: the once-in-a-lifetime graduation trip ended up living with an evil star...

Fu Mingyuan glanced coldly, and landed on Ji Fan accurately: "It's just him, just happened to be here together just now."

Ji Fan: "..."

Xu Haifan was hugging him and yelling that we would play psp all night together tonight, playing this and that, when he heard Fu Mingyuan's words, his expression looked like he had choked on an egg.

"By, why?" After all, it was a gay friendship of more than ten years, student Xu mustered up the courage to retort, "Fanfan is so thin, can you squeeze me?"

Fanfan...

Ji Fan turned his eyes away, not daring to look at Fu Mingyuan's expression at all.

Fu Mingyuan paused, and the corners of his lips curled up in a twisted arc: "I don't want him to go? Then you should come for him?"

Xu Haifan: "..."

The so-called base friendship of more than ten years is over.

He pushed Ji Fan away neatly with his backhand: "Dear Fanfan, go at ease, I will always remember you."
