Here it comes." After saying that, Lu Li laughed at Qi Yunjing, "Dr. Qi must be so smart to figure out what I like about you."

Qiyun Jing's gaze slowly turned towards the way he and Gao Chen were shoulder to shoulder, discussing the swimming pool in a harmonious manner. They seemed to be having a good conversation.

Lu Li's friend was generous enough to give them the largest hot spring swimming pool in the villa. The general manager led them to the hot spring and stepped aside.

There is a changing room nearby. When they arrived, they had already brought their clothes with them. Some had swimsuits, and others had bathrobes.

Other people couldn't wait and hurriedly changed their clothes in the changing room. This time, there were no girls going to the hot springs, only boys. After changing their clothes, they dashed towards the hot springs.

"Ah, this feels so comfortable."

"I think soaking in hot springs is the most comfortable during the winter. It gets a bit too hot during the summer, especially in the sauna."

"Lu Li, didn't you see him?" Gao Chen asked Li Jin when he didn't see anyone.

They had always overlooked one important fact: Luli was gay. This group of straight guys had never gone to the bathhouse with a gay person, nor had they ever spent time with Luli.

"I don't know." Li Jin said this with a hint of guilt.

Gao Chen was comfortably soaking in the water when suddenly he thought of something. His expression immediately changed, and he hesitated as he said, "Can you guys... accept it?"

There is no need to understand the meaning of this sentence in order to comprehend it.

Chen Ye smiled and said indifferently, "Although I am a straight guy, I do not discriminate against homosexuals. Besides, I have seen Lu Li before, and we even took a bath together."

"Yeah, what's the difference? They are all men, aren't they?" Li Jin followed suit, trying to ease the awkwardness.

Other people: "..."

(Note: As per your request, I have omitted the quotation marks in the translation of this novel paragraph since it does not contain any specific dialogue or conversation.)

The key point is that Qi Yunjing is also gay.

After a short while, Lu Li came out wearing swim trunks with no hint of being a homosexual. He had a playful smile on his face and said, "Sorry about that, something held me up earlier."

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

When others saw Lu Li, their expressions suddenly became evasive, and some unconsciously swallowed their saliva.

Lu Li had a different physique from them. He appeared thin but well-built, with evenly toned muscles that did not seem weak. His skin was even whiter than that of a woman, and his legs were long, straight, and fair. What set him apart, though, was his noticeably perky buttocks.

Lu Li got into the water, and his hair quickly became soaked in mist. He casually reached back and ran his fingers through his hair, with long eyelashes adorned with water droplets. His eyes became even more lively amidst the swirling mist.

"Since this swimming pool is so big, why don't we have a competition to see who can complete one lap in the shortest time?" suggested Lu Li, coming up with an idea to play.

"Sure, after it's over, we must administer punishment," Jing Xiu immediately took over the conversation, with an energetic and spirited expression on his face.

"It sounds interesting. It seems like I need to show off my masculine charm."

Qi Yunjing never came out, and Lu Li didn't ask either. He started playing with the others instead.

According to the lottery grouping, Li Jin and Jing Xiu were in the same group. As soon as the whistle blew, the two of them started at the same time, but Li Jin quickly fell behind.

Lu Li, standing by anxiously, couldn't help but shout, "Li Jin, can you do it?"

Li Jin was swimming in the water, so he couldn't naturally hear what he was saying. He kept swimming forward.

Not long after, Jingxiu quickly took the first place. Just moments after snapping the porcelain tablet, Li Jin also took a photograph.

"Fortunately, I was fast enough. If I had been two seconds slower, you would have been the first," Jing Xiu said as he quickly supported himself with his hand and sat on the shore.

Li Jin also stepped ashore and greeted him with a punch, smiling as he said, "Impressive, impressive."

"Who's the next group?" Lu Li asked.

"On account of your young age, I'll give you three seconds." Gao Chen said arrogantly.

Lu Li chuckled and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Games emphasize fairness and justice. I aim to achieve the true first place based on my abilities. Let's wait and see."

"Alright then."

Sitting by the side, the others watched intently as the two individuals competed fiercely to claim the first place. As soon as the whistle sounded, both of them swiftly dived into the water like fish.

Lu Li had previously learned professional swimming. Facing such a competition, he didn't show any signs of stage fright. Despite looking thin, every stroke he made was powerful, enabling him to win first place at the fastest speed.

With a "thud!", Lu Li pushed himself up onto the porcelain board, soaking his hair completely. He brushed his hair back with his hand and glanced around, but still did not catch sight of that person's figure.

"You've got some skills, kid. I can't even catch up with you." Gao Chen also emerged from the water shortly after, slightly panting, and admired Lu Li a little.

"No big deal, no big deal, the main thing is that I frequently exercise," Lu Li said and then asked, "Where is Dr. Qi? I haven't seen him all this time."

Gao Chen replied, "He rarely goes to hot springs, and he is very particular about cleanliness. He is unwilling to go to public places to soak in hot springs. I estimate he has found a small hot spring again."

It is said that doctors often have a serious case of obsessive cleanliness. Some doctors may have a milder condition, but Qi Yunjing belongs to the category of those with a severe case of cleanliness obsession, with no signs of improvement.

"After a while, someone will bring wine and fruit. You guys can go to the hot spring and enjoy yourselves. I'll go find Dr. Qi first," Lu Li said, getting up and leaving.

He was wearing only a pair of swimming trunks, with water droplets all over his body that he hadn't had a chance to dry. His waist looked slender and soft, giving him the appearance of a beautiful person fresh out of the bath.

Others: "......"

Lu Li changed into a bathrobe and walked out of the room. He didn't know where Qi Yunjing was, so he decided to ask the general manager. Just as he reached the corner of the hallway, he saw two people hugging each other.

Out of politeness, he immediately shifted his gaze elsewhere. However, his footsteps came to a halt in that instant. The person being held by the immaculately clean little boy was none other than Qi Yunjing.

Lu Li squinted his eyes, his tongue pressing against his cheek. It was probably not due to a severe cleanliness obsession, but rather because he was secretly meeting someone here.

"It turns out that Dr. Qi's reason for not going to the hot springs is because he's cuddling and hugging with someone here," Lu Li said with a mysterious tone as he walked over.

Qi Yunjing looked up at him, with no expression on his face, only a slight moment of surprise at Lu Li's sudden arrival.

"Let go," Qi Yunjing said softly to the little boy in front of him.

At just eighteen years old, he could only be described as inexperienced. He merely couldn't stand that man harassing the young boy, so he spoke a few words. Little did he expect that the young boy would cling to him.

He is originally someone who cannot bring himself to be harsh with others. He has always been gentle and persuades the little boy to let go. Who would have known that the little boy would hold on too tightly, and he didn't dare to hastily pull the boy away.

"Who are you?" The little boy asked Lu Li when he saw him.

Lu Li's lips curled slightly, and the corners of his eyes lifted up as he said, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that Dr. Qi doesn't seem to want to bother with you. Don't take someone else's politeness for granted."

After saying these words, he didn't even bother to look at Qi Yunjing, turning his head and walking away directly. He walked until he reached the corner, his anger about to explode.

Damn it! Why does he get to let others hold onto the person he's interested in, when he hasn't even had the chance to hold them himself?

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Lu Li became more and more angry as he thought about it.

Luli, who had been bowing his head all along, did not see that someone accidentally bumped into him. Although the other person held him and he didn't fall, he was currently feeling angry and had nowhere to vent it. Coincidentally, he hit the muzzle and shouted without caring who the person in front of him was: "Damn! Are you fucking blind?"

Lu Li is a mixed-race individual, so the man in front of him is a pure British person. Seeing Lu Li's raised eyebrows, he said in English, "You are beautiful. Would you like to go with me at night?"

Upon hearing it, Lu Li became even more furious. With a cold expression on his face, he cursed at him, saying, "Scram!"

The man was not angered by these words. Instead, he tightened his grip on Lu Li and held her in his arms. He lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear, "No appointment? (真的不约？)"

Fuck!

Lu Li went out today without consulting the almanac, and not only ran into Qi Yunjing without saying a word, but also had his bottom touched by another man. The anger in his heart surged even more, gritting his teeth and cursing, "Fuck your mother! You're so ugly and yet you dare to ask me out."

He raised his foot and kicked the man hard below. After seeing the man's expression of pain, he finally left, feeling relieved.
