Huating Villa.

At the entrance.

“It’s been almost an hour, why hasn’t uncle come back yet?

So slow.” Sitting under the sunshade, Xu Jiao held a cold drink, sipping it now and then, clearly showing impatience.

“Xu Jiao, nobody thinks you’re mute if you keep quiet!

If you don’t know, don’t talk nonsense.

If you think it’s slow, you can try driving there yourself.

If you can make it back here in under three hours, then I’ll recognize you as the big sister!”

Unlike Xu Jiao’s unfamiliarity with sports cars, Xu Yingying herself owned a Mercedes-Benz Coupe and had been influenced by Che Wuya’s Club for quite some time.

Although the girl was also quite bored after waiting for nearly an hour, she was clearly not satisfied with the ignorant Xu Jiao’s complaints about the slowness.

You should know, Miss Xu, who drove her Mercedes-Benz Coupe along with other members of Che Wuya’s Club to Lianpan Mountain and then back to Huating Villa in their monthly routine competition, broke the slowest record since the Club’s establishment, taking five hours and thirty-five minutes.

So much so, that by the end, Lv Wuya and others from Che Wuya’s Club wondered if she had an accident or if the car broke down on the way.

With such a “glorious” record, how could Xu Yingying allow Xu Jiao, an outsider, to criticize Lin Fei and the other Club members for driving slowly?

You should know, even Lv Wuya, the former professional racing driver, had his best record at two hours and thirty-seven minutes.

Now it’s been only an hour and Xu Jiao, this outsider, is already complaining about the slowness, making Miss Xu, who took more than five hours, feel humiliated!

“You just know how to drive a car, what’s so great about that!

Wait until I take my driving test, I will definitely make it back in under three hours!

Then, you had better be ready to acknowledge me as the big sister!”

Xu Jiao, who was unaware of Xu Yingying’s ignominious five-hour-plus record, thought that Xu Yingying was mocking her for not knowing how to drive.

Already bored and impatient, Xu Jiao got up and approached Xu Yingying, challenging her in a defiant voice.

“Are you sure that with your manual dexterity, you can pass the driving test within three to five years?”

“Xu Yingying, you—just wait, I’m going to sign up for driving lessons tomorrow!”

“Even if you get your license tomorrow, you won’t be able to make it back in under three hours.” Xu Yingying, who had experienced that long and winding racetrack herself, was quite certain of this.

“I definitely can!” Xu Jiao, oblivious to the challenging and lengthy nature of the racetrack, was filled with confidence.

“Heh.”

Xu Yingying, you have to clarify what you’re saying!

What’s with that haha?!” Xu Jiao, who had been slightly spirited, felt a chill over her pretty face as Xu Yingying’s mocking laughter rang out.

“What’s it to you why I laugh.” Xu Jiao’s sharp questioning and her chilly expression apparently didn’t put much psychological pressure on Xu Yingying, this mischievous girl.

Xu Yingying’s seemingly nonchalant attitude clearly brought more annoyance to Xu Jiao, who took deliberate steps towards Xu Yingying.

Their faces nearly touching, she pressed in close, “Xu Yingying, I—”

“Ms.

Xu, Ms.

Xu.

In my opinion, it’s likely that Mr.

Lin and the others will take a while to return.

If you two keep waiting here, I’m afraid it might be quite a while.

Why not let me take you both to soak in our Flower Fish Spring?

I believe that after trying it once, both of you will fall in love with it.”

Jiang Ying, who had been sitting under the same parasol as Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao, noticed the tension rising between the two.

To prevent the quarrel from escalating into a physical altercation, she timely intervened to divert their attention.

“Flower Fish Spring?

What’s that, a hot spring?”

It must be said that Jiang Ying’s timely intervention, along with the rather novel concept of Flower Fish Spring, did indeed attract quite a bit of attention from Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao—so much so that it piqued their curiosity.

“Hot springs are for soaking in the winter.

Although we do have hot springs here, they are all man-made, and their effects can’t compare to those natural ones.

Besides, it’s not the right season now.

After all, it hasn’t turned to fall yet, so it’s better to soak in Flower Fish Spring for now.” Jiang Ying dismissed Xu Yingying’s guess that Flower Fish Spring was a hot spring with a smile and a shake of her head.

Then, the woman approached Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao, a smile on her pretty face, lips slightly parted, “Flower Fish Spring is really just a literal name.

Before the villa was built, there was a pond here.

After the completion of the villa, the owner at that time whimsically divided the pond into small, individual pools.

Because the pond is fed by mountain streams year-round, the partitioned pools occasionally have a couple of small fish swimming in.

Originally, when Mr.

Lv bought Huating Villa, these pools had no name.

However, I often scattered flower petals in the pools when I bathed.

Over time, I started calling them Flower Fish Spring.”

“So it’s like that.

Sister Ying, please take me there; I want to soak right now.” Upon hearing Jiang Ying’s description of Flower Fish Spring, Xu Yingying, who had been eager to outdo Xu Jiao, instantly forgot all about it and eagerly pressed Jiang Ying to take her to the pools adorned with fish and flower petals.

“Are there really fish?

You’re not just trying to trick me, are you, Sister Ying?”

Compared to Xu Yingying’s extreme excitement, Xu Jiao was very much looking forward to it, so much so that she wished to visit the so-called Flower Fish Spring immediately.

Yet, she was still somewhat skeptical.

After all, she had just been annoyed by Xu Yingying’s derisive laughter, and now Jiang Ying brought up this intriguing and tempting Flower Fish Spring.

Naturally, Xu Jiao couldn’t help but feel doubt.

Jiang Ying wasn’t the least bit offended by Xu Jiao’s skepticism; instead, she affectionately patted Xu Jiao’s head, “Whether I’m lying or not, why don’t you go have a look for yourself?”

“But if we all leave, what will happen if Uncle and the others come back and can’t find us?

Also, who will time them if we’re gone?”

“That’s easy, I’ll take you to the Flower Fish Spring first.

Then, I will come back and time them.

They won’t be back in a short period of time anyway, so it won’t cause any delay.”

Convinced by Jiang Ying’s reasoning, Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao couldn’t suppress their curiosity about Flower Fish Spring.

Without further thought, both nodded in agreement to Jiang Ying’s suggestion.

Flanking her on either side, they followed Jiang Ying towards the Flower Fish Spring brimming with flower petals and fish…
