I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 574 Checking into the Hot Spring Hotel

Yan Ganghui finished booking the room and said to his girlfriend, Su Hui, "Dear, let's go to the zoo on May 20th!"

Su Hui said happily, "Sure, sure! Why has your boss suddenly become so benevolent, even approving your leave."

Yan Ganghui got angry when this topic came up, "I haven't asked for leave yet! Damn it, I have a pile of compensatory leave slips that are about to expire. Every time I ask for leave, it's like begging like a dog. When you work overtime, the leader doesn't acknowledge your efforts, but when you want to take a day off, they whine and complain.

"The lousy company always pulls this crap. Do they think the company can't run without me? Then why don't they give me a raise! This time I'm determined to take a day off to spend a good day with you."

Su Hui laughed, "Okay, don't tell your boss you're out playing, just say you... ate hot pot, and it was so spicy your butt hurt, you had bloody stool, and need to see a proctologist. Remember to be firm about your leave request."

Yan Ganghui felt dizzy, "That's not a great reason, it's too embarrassing!"

Su Hui said, "Then... just say you have a toothache and need to see a dentist."

"That reason's not bad," Yan Ganghui said enthusiastically, "I've booked a hot spring hotel for the night of the 19th. We can go soak in the hot springs first, rest overnight, and then go straight to the zoo in the morning to see the animals!"

I thought Su Hui would be thrilled, but she seemed less excited and a bit dismissive in her tone, "Ah, soaking in hot springs at the zoo?"

Yan Ganghui scratched his head, not understanding what had upset his girlfriend, "Yeah, hot springs are good for the body, to relax."

Su Hui said, "Just visiting the zoo will be fine. When did Linhai get hot springs anyway? They must be using boiler-heated water, which wouldn't be enjoyable to soak in. All these fancy frills are unnecessary, you might as well just buy me a lipstick."

Yan Ganghui suddenly understood the reason she didn't want to go.

He explained with a smile, "I asked Zhou Ke about it, and it's real hot springs! Last winter, when the zoo was planting cherry trees, they discovered hot springs while digging holes for the trees. Isn't that amazing? The hot spring hotel has been built for a while now, and they've just recently started their business!"

Su Hui's mood suddenly lifted, "Really? Then we absolutely have to try it!"

The decision to visit the zoo and soak in the hot springs for a day was happily made, but there was still one tricky problem ahead.

...

The next day, when Yan Ganghui went to work, he approached his manager's desk with a serious face, "Manager, I need to take a leave."

The manager looked up, staring at him steadily.

Yan Ganghui cleared his throat, "Recently, I've been having terrible toothaches and I have made an appointment with the dentist! I'm requesting one day off on May 20th."

The manager let out a chuckle, "You don't seem to have any issues talking, doesn't sound like a tooth problem to me!"

Then he gestured for Yan Ganghui to sit down, poured some tea from his cup, and began to coax, "I understand you young people, you want to go out and have fun with your girlfriend, right? But it's not like you're getting married, what's the use of taking just one day off? Go out after work in the evening. Why not push harder while you're young..."

Yan Ganghui rolled his eyes internally; getting off work at 9 PM wasn't exactly a time to go out and have fun. And there he was again, painting pies in the sky, having talked about promotions and raises so many times, yet how often had they actually materialized?

The manager advised for a while, but seeing Yan Ganghui had made up his mind to take leave, his expression cooled, "If you must take a leave, then work extra these next few days, don't delay the project's progress."

...

Finally, he managed to get the leave.

May 19th, 7 PM!

Yan Ganghui finally finished the work his manager had assigned, his face weary with fatigue.

In the past few days, he had been bombarded with tasks, without even a moment of spare time to slack off at work.

But the thought of heading to the hot springs for a rest made him feel a bit better. He grabbed his briefcase and warmly greeted his colleagues, "I'm off for today, see you all~"

The miserable colleagues, who were coding away, cast envious glances at him.

"Have fun, Brother Yan!"

"Bye, Brother Yan~"

After leaving the company, Yan Ganghui looked at the brilliant sunset sky and felt a bit dazed for a moment.

Usually, by the time he left the building, it was already dark, with a big crowd lined up at the entrance of the tech park waiting to take the shuttle bus home.

Today was really nice, he could still see the sunset.

Su Hui had also come to the tech park to wait for him, sipping her milk tea with a big smile as she waved to him.

She naturally took his arm, "Let's go, let's go, I can hardly wait."

They hailed a taxi, "Master, to Linhai Zoo!"

The driver kindly reminded them, "Are you planning to visit the zoo? They close at 6 p.m. If you want to visit, maybe go tomorrow morning, how about I take you to the cinema instead? There's a 'Fast & Furious 12' that's quite good."

Su Hui laughed, "Didn't Linhai Zoo open a hot spring hotel? You can stay there at night too!"

"Wow!" the driver exclaimed, "I really hadn't heard about that."

Once they got into the taxi, Yan Ganghui remained silent.

He leaned back, closed his eyes, and started massaging his temples!

Su Hui looked over with concern, blew a breath towards him, and waved her hand in front of his face, "Why aren't you talking? You seem so weak, like you're about to drop dead! Don't actually drop dead on me. Do you want to go to the hospital to get checked out?"

Yan Ganghui forced a smile, "It's nothing, I'm just really tired. I'll be fine after a rest!"

Although he said it was nothing, he actually thought the same.

After all, it was not uncommon to hear about software engineers suddenly dying in the tech park. Who knows when it could be his turn?

She said softly, "Once we arrive at the hot spring hotel, we can have a good rest."

Then she remembered something else, "Oh, right, a colleague recently recommended a traditional Chinese doctor to me, saying he's great for conditioning the body. Do you want to give it a try?"

"We'll go take a look sometime when we have the chance..."

Yan Ganghui and Su Hui chatted intermittently, and gradually, he fell asleep in the car!

When he awoke, they had already arrived at the zoo.

...

After asking the security guard at the entrance for directions, they made their way to the hot spring hotel.

The lobby was illuminated with warm yellow lighting, simple walls, and sliding wooden doors, radiating a strong Japanese ambiance.

The receptionist stood at the front desk, smiling as she greeted them.

Yan Ganghui took a look and muttered, "The decor is quite nice!"

He had reserved a room with a private bath, which cost 1,200 yuan for one day.

Because it had just opened, there was a 20% discount, making it only 960 yuan per day.

A tad expensive compared to regular hotels! But since it included a hot spring, the higher price was understandable.

After working so hard to earn money, which you can't take with you when you die, he decided to splurge today, hoping it would be worth the price.

The receptionist gave them their room keys, and Su Hui asked, "Can we go soak in the hot spring right after we move in? Are there any precautions we should be aware of?"

The receptionist smiled, "It's best not to soak for too long in the evening, as it might make you too excited to sleep! But soaking briefly is fine, it can relieve fatigue and help you sleep better."
