Grace Reed shook her head. “Places like those Buddhist temples generally don’t like outsiders disturbing them.” She smiled at Brian Morgan. “They dislike women stepping into their territory even more.”
“Not even for tourism?” Brian Morgan asked curiously.
“There are plenty of fun places in Yundu—who would go to a temple for sightseeing?” Grace Reed shrugged.
Many places here were different from the world Brian Morgan came from. It would probably take him a long time to understand this brand-new environment.
While driving, Grace Reed introduced to Brian Morgan, “This big river is called the Tongtian River. It’s one of the longest rivers in the world.”
Brian Morgan had heard of the Yangtze and knew about the Yellow River, but this Tongtian River was completely new to him.
Grace Reed pointed due east. “The Tongtian River flows ahead into Jinghai. Yundu has the world’s most beautiful beaches and sunshine!”
Brian Morgan seized the opportunity to flatter her. “And the most beautiful girls in the world!”
Grace Reed laughed. “You’re quite the talker.” Brian Morgan’s compliment made her beautiful eyes shine even brighter.
Brian Morgan corrected her, “I’m just good at telling the truth!”
When they arrived at the ‘Lover’s Wharf’ that Ashley Reed had mentioned, Brian Morgan realized it was actually a teahouse. They were fifteen minutes early, so Grace Reed chose a window seat. From there, they could see the beautiful scenery of the distant Tongtian River.
Grace Reed ordered two cups of tea and some desserts, which left Brian Morgan a bit disappointed. In his mind, this breakfast wasn’t much better than the vegetarian meals at Shaolin Temple; it couldn’t compare to the satisfaction of steamed buns or beef noodles.
The tea was different from what he was used to, showing a rose-red color and tasting slightly sweet.
“This is rose tea picked from Yunwu Mountain. It’s a new type of tea made by recombining the genes of roses and Longjing.” Grace Reed drank her tea with great elegance, but Brian Morgan wasn’t very interested in her introduction—his main focus was on filling his stomach.
Brian Morgan ate three servings of snacks in a row before finally wiping his mouth in satisfaction and finishing his rose tea in one gulp.
At that moment, Ashley Reed arrived at the teahouse. It had only been a little over an hour since they last met, but she had already changed outfits—now wearing a white crop top and a green miniskirt. The exposed, delicate skin made one’s primal instincts stir.
She gave Brian Morgan an alluring smile and sat down across from him. “It seems you two didn’t wait for me?”
Grace Reed explained, “I saw that Brian Morgan was hungry, so I ordered something first.”
Ashley Reed shot Grace Reed a cold glance. Grace Reed lowered her head in a bit of fear—it was clear she was quite afraid of her older sister.
Brian Morgan coughed awkwardly. Was his presence affecting the sisters’ relationship? He considered saying goodbye.
Ashley Reed’s bare, long legs brushed against Brian Morgan under the table, intentionally or not. Even through his pants, Brian Morgan could feel the smoothness of her skin.
For some reason, his heartbeat quickened.
Ashley Reed said softly, “It’s stuffy here. Why don’t the three of us go to the hot springs…”
Brian Morgan could hardly believe his ears. The girls here were so open—inviting someone to bathe together right after meeting. Looking at the two beauties before him, each with a stunning figure, he wondered if he was dreaming. He had just arrived and already encountered such unexpected good fortune. Since they were so proactive, what reason did he have to refuse?
Ashley Reed and Grace Reed each took one of Brian Morgan’s arms and walked out of the teahouse.
The hot spring Ashley Reed mentioned was less than two hundred meters from the teahouse. Maybe it was the thought of soon being naked with two beautiful women, but Brian Morgan felt his body temperature rise, his mind filled with scenes from adult films he’d seen before.
Since it was his first time bathing with girls—and he had no money in his pocket—he mostly kept his eyes on the ground, leaving all the ticket buying and shopping to them.
Brian Morgan followed them to a private room, which was divided into two sections. The outer room was small, entirely made of wood, and elegantly furnished, with a style somewhat reminiscent of Japanese tatami rooms.
After entering, Ashley Reed and Grace Reed began taking off their outer clothes. Naturally, Brian Morgan didn’t want to fall behind. When he was down to just his underwear, he suddenly wondered if mixed bathing was a local custom. If so, maybe he should hold back a little.
He snuck a glance at Ashley Reed and Grace Reed. They had already wrapped themselves in long bath towels, their slender legs exposed beneath, looking even more sexy and enticing. He wondered if they were wearing anything underneath.
Brian Morgan secretly felt relieved that he hadn’t stripped completely—otherwise, he’d have lost face. Imitating them, he wrapped a towel around his waist, then headed into the bathroom first. It wasn’t because he was shy, but because he was afraid if he stayed any longer, his towel would be tented by his little brother.
The bathroom was about forty square meters, with colorful pebbles covering the floor, making it very comfortable to walk on barefoot. In the center of the room was a lotus-shaped pool. Brian Morgan tested the water temperature—it was just right for the human body. He entered the pool with his towel still on.
