Zhou Chao looked in the direction of the pointing finger, “Bella Spa?”

“Let’s go, there’s nothing better to do anyway. Let’s just relax!”

Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Bella Spa, and through the glass door, they could see the magnificent lobby.

As soon as they entered, they heard several enthusiastic voices, “Welcome to Bella Spa.” Several young ladies dressed in professional skirts were standing neatly at the door.

“Are you two here for foot massage or a spa?” one of the ladies, who seemed to be the head, asked with a smile.

Without hesitation, Zhou Chao replied, “Foot massage.”

“Please follow me inside!”

Under the guidance of the head, the two of them took the elevator to the second floor.

“Do you need to change your clothes?”

“No, we’re fine like this,” Zhou Chao immediately refused. If it were just him, there wouldn’t be much concern, but with Jiang Li, there was a risk of hidden cameras, and he didn’t want to take any chances.

“Alright, please wait a moment. I’ll arrange a therapist for you,” the head said and then left.

After three or four minutes, two tall and well-groomed female therapists came in. Zhou Chao estimated that they were both around thirty years old.

“Therapist 66 / 88 is delighted to serve you,” one of them said in a professional tone.

Soon, the water was prepared. To relieve the fatigue of their feet, Zhou Chao instructed to use vinegar for his foot soak, while Jiang Li requested a milk soak, as girls tend to care more about their appearance.

“Are you pregnant, ma’am?” the therapist attending to Jiang Li asked after setting up the water, noticing her slightly bulging belly.

“Yes, I am. Why do you ask?” Jiang Li was a bit puzzled by the question, wondering if it was just small talk.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t recommend a massage if you’re pregnant, especially in the early stages.”

Surprised by this, Jiang Li asked, “Really? Is that true?”

“Yes, it’s best to avoid a massage if you’re pregnant.”

Jiang Li nodded in response and then looked pitifully at Zhou Chao.

“You can still soak your feet, it’s fine!” Zhou Chao, who was enjoying his massage, could only comfort her softly.

“Alright, thank you,” Jiang Li turned to therapist 88 and thanked her. Number 88 smiled and nodded, then left the room with her equipment.

Jiang Li’s originally cheerful mood suddenly turned gloomy. She watched Zhou Chao enjoying his massage and pouted as she took out her phone, indulging herself in some entertainment.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chao, lost in the relaxation of the massage, unknowingly fell asleep.

Time passed quietly, and the sky outside gradually darkened.

“Brother Chao, wake up, you’re drooling!”

Hearing the call, Zhou Chao, still half-asleep, wiped his mouth with his hand. “Huh? Why don’t I feel any wetness?”

“Haha, you’re so funny! This time I recorded it. If you ever tease me, I’ll post it on my social media.” Jiang Li laughed loudly while holding her phone.

As Zhou Chao’s brain rebooted, he instantly understood what had happened. It turned out that Jiang Li was just playing a prank on him. He looked at Jiang Li’s mischievous expression, shook his head in resignation, and thought to himself how fortunes could change so quickly.

After sitting for a while and fully waking up, Zhou Chao realized that it was already past 7 o’clock in the evening, and the city lights were beginning to shine.

“Are you hungry? Let’s go eat,” Zhou Chao said, not dwelling on Jiang Li’s earlier prank.

“I’ve been hungry for a while now. If you hadn’t been sleeping so soundly, I would’ve woken you up earlier.” Jiang Li put on a proud expression, as if she was waiting for praise.

Zhou Chao smiled and walked over to Jiang Li.

“What are you doing? Be careful not to let anyone see!” Jiang Li’s face turned slightly red, and she looked nervous.

“I’m just here to thank you,” Zhou Chao said with a mischievous grin.

“Hmph, I’m hungry. Let’s go,” Jiang Li stood up from her chair and headed towards the exit.

Watching Jiang Li run away, Zhou Chao burst into laughter. “This little girl is playing with fire.”

After leaving Bella Spa, the two of them were in a bit of a dilemma. They weren’t very familiar with Hengdian, and they had no idea where to find good food. They decided to wander around and explore. If they couldn’t find anything delicious, they would have to settle for any decent restaurant they stumbled upon.

“Alt Li, do you want to try hot pot stew?”

“Hot pot stew? Isn’t that a northeastern dish?” Jiang Li inquired.

“Yeah, look!” Zhou Chao pointed ahead, and they spotted a Northeastern hot pot stew restaurant by the roadside.

“Let’s go to this one. I’m so hungry I can’t stand it anymore,” Jiang Li said and immediately pulled Zhou Chao towards the restaurant.

As they entered, the aroma of the hot pot stew filled the air.

“Boss, two of us, hurry up. We’re starving,” Jiang Li, who was all fired up, caught the owner off guard.

The owner quickly regained composure and said, “We’ll arrange it right away!”

The restaurant’s staff were efficient, and in no time, they had set up the hot pot stew. The fragrance gradually filled the air, making both of them salivate.

After enduring the aroma for about ten minutes, when the waiter said it was ready to eat, the two starving individuals couldn’t hold back any longer. They began to eat heartily, muttering, “So delicious, it’s amazing.”

The owner and the waitstaff occasionally glanced at the two of them. The owner asked, “What’s the deal with these two? They’re good-looking, and dressed so decently. Yet, why do they look like they’re starving?”
