Chapter 494 Bathhouse
The mansion of the Buyetian family is located on a high slope on the north side of the inner city. In the city that never sleeps, which is full of high-rise buildings and a sense of technology, this classical and quiet manor looks extraordinary.
President Paris's private car stopped in the yard, and the driver opened the door for Lin Yu.
"Dear Mr. Forbolo, we have arrived at the Buyetian family."
The driver said respectfully, and Lin Yu jumped out of the car.
There was nothing particularly luxurious inside the manor, just ordinary white walls and black tiles, with a few asparagus fern and osmanthus trees simply planted beside the walls.
The straight white marble slab road leads to a quaint wooden one-story building. A copper bell is hung on the corner of the eaves, ringing softly, blending with the faint sound of flowing water, which is crisp and cool.
Lin Yu stood in front of the car and looked at the elegant courtyard, feeling a bit solemn.
Although the Buyetian family is the royal noble with the shallowest roots in this city that never sleeps, the architectural style here is very simple and seems to have a long history.
Being in it is like traveling back to ancient times.
"Huh, why didn't anyone come to pick me up?"
Lin Yu was talking to himself when a faint voice came.
"Yes, Mr. Forbolo."
Turning around, I saw a girl wearing a loose white robe, a silver-white mask with no facial features, and even her hair dyed snow-white slowly walking out of the door.
When Lin Yu saw the other person, he finally understood who Paris's maid had learned the dressing style from.
President Paris was probably imitating his master and deliberately dressed his servants like this.
After all, this maid's outfit looks much more authentic than Paris's.
Lao Zheng also commented on this.
"Eliminating the servants' individuality in this way to increase their obedience... Tsk, the nobles in this city really know how to play it."
Lin Yu pursed his lips.
"I just find it eerie. Having this faceless, all-white creature serving me every day is like triggering the uncanny valley effect... Seeing something like this in my house in the middle of the night is just like the White Ghost of Death haunting the soul."
He did not quite agree with the aesthetics and psychology of these nobles.
However, he still smiled at the maid.
"Oh, I was just saying... Miss Huo Le is here, right?"
"Of course the young lady is here," the maid said quietly. "She's very happy to hear you're coming and is already waiting for you in the tea room."
"Tea room? Then let's go quickly and don't keep Miss Huo Le waiting too long."
As Lin Yu spoke, the maid gave him a strange look.
"Are you going straight to the tea room... You'd better shower and change first."
As the maid spoke, Lin Yu felt surprised, but remained calm on the surface.
"As expected of a noble... you have so many flaws."
While complaining in his heart, Lin Yu said calmly: "I just want to take a shower and change clothes."
The maid bowed slightly, then walked steadily in front of Lin Yu.
She led Lin Yu across the cobblestone path, then walked along the corridor in front of the house and led Lin Yu around the courtyard.
Although Lin Yu had expected that the Buye Tian family's manor would not be too small, he did not expect that this place seemed even larger than he had imagined.
"It feels like it takes the people of the Buyetian family twenty minutes to walk from their rooms to the main gate..."
Lin Yu complained in his heart again.
However, he was just joking.
If these noble masters and mistresses, young men and young ladies didn't want to walk, there must be various ways to do it - even if it was just having servants carry them.
Walking through corridors, across bamboo gardens, past several study rooms and halls...
Lin Yu couldn't help but admire the maid's ability to recognize the way.
There are no road signs anywhere, the architectural styles are highly consistent, and the functions of the rooms cannot be seen when the doors are closed.
If it were him, he would have been confused long ago.
and……
“Even if the architectural style is more antique, how can it be completely free of modern traces?”
Lin Yu felt very confused.
The Buyetian family's manor, at least from the outside, doesn't seem to have any "convenient" modern technological equipment.
Not to mention the cutting-edge products of the Truth Company, even ordinary civilian modern equipment is not visible.
The only lighting used is embedded cold light lamps, and there are no other elevators, display screens, intelligent equipment... at all.
Soon, the maid stopped in front of a door.
This is a sliding wooden door with some carvings with metal wires.
"Please shower and change."
As the maid spoke softly, the two leaves of the sliding wooden door moved and opened to both sides.
Lin Yugang thought he had finally seen the automated equipment, but he soon discovered...
Two tall waiters wearing white robes and masks opened the wooden door.
The two of them stepped forward, made a "please" gesture, and repeated the maid's words.
"Please shower and change."
Lin Yu stepped in and felt the air become a little humid and misty.
This bathing place is an open-air hot spring. There are six natural hot spring pools of various sizes built with stones, and two waiters in white clothes are standing in front of each one.
The courtyard is surrounded by tall and thick wooden walls, with some bamboo and orchids planted in the corners.
The door behind Lin Yu was slowly closed, and then the waiters on both sides were ready to strip Lin Yu's clothes.
He suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Lin Yu still instinctively resisted having others help him take a bath.
Especially in this bathing area, there were fourteen waiters standing in front and behind!
Lin Yu coughed lightly and spoke loudly.
"Can everyone please step aside for a moment? I'm used to washing myself."
"I'll call you if anything happens!"
As Lin Yu spoke, the waiters were silent for two seconds and then responded in unison.
"As you command, Master Forbolo."
"Please put your changed clothes in the bamboo basket over there."
Afterwards, these waiters in white came out in an orderly manner from the small door at the edge of the hot spring courtyard, like robots.
In an instant, the courtyard became empty, leaving only the silent "gurgling" sound of the hot spring.
Although the order was given by Lin Yu, the scene of the waiters completely disappearing in a few seconds made Lin Yu feel even more creepy.
"It's really scary."
Although the hot springs looked very comfortable and there were different types, Lin Yu was not in the mood to experience them in detail.
He walked over to the shower area against the wall and simply began to rinse himself off.
Then, Lin Yu heard a "ding" sound not far away, and clean towels and clothes appeared on the metal table extending from the wall.
The clothes were the same ones he had come wearing, but they had been washed and dried.
Lin Yu touched the soft and warm clothes. After putting them on, he felt that they were light, close to his body, and had a hint of fragrance.
"It seems that Buyetian's family still has a dryer or something like that...it's just hidden somewhere deep inside."
Just as Lin Yu was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of water coming from the hot spring pool.
"Wow!"
At the same time, a male voice sounded.
"Forbolo, stay."
Lin Yu turned around and saw a vague figure of a man appearing in the middle of the largest hot spring pool, amidst the steaming water vapor.
After thinking briefly for half a second, Lin Yu decided to make use of his greatest advantage as "Fu Luo".
He spoke directly without thinking.
"Fuck, who the hell are you?"
"Why didn't I see you just now? Were you holding your breath in the bathtub... Are you sick?"
