Chapter 164 - The Snow Villa

After the call, Ming and Ming Yue Guang separated at the University gate. Ming was planning to head back to the dormitory to take a nap. The all nighter was slowly settling in on him. Ming Yue Guang was going to head to find his Old Coach who had asked him out for tea.

"I'll text you to go out another time, alright?" Ming Yue Guang promised.

"Alright," Ming nodded in agreement.

"Rest well Ming."

"Have a good tea session with your coach."

…

Two thousand kilometres away from the two Mings, a couple was currently enjoying their holiday in Country J. Yesterday, they had landed in one of the snowier provinces in Country J, before taking a private coach bus further into the snowy mountains. Before while they were in Country Z, they decided to stay in a mountain snow resort for the holidays. The couple was none other than Sato and Gray.

When Sato arrived at the resort, he was immediately awestruck by the beauty and layout of the place. The mountain snow resort was actually Gray's idea and he wasn't allowed to know anything. The resort was named The Snow Villa and was deemed as one of the top ten most beautiful resorts in the world.

Just based on the resort's reception area, a portion of the mountain had been carved out so as to allow for a glass dome to be installed and nestled into the hole, while the other half of it would be wrapped around the mountain side. The glass dome was made to absorb sunlight, providing natural warmth in the cold snowy setting. Not only that, the view from the dome was spectacular. Sato could see a sea of white spread across the neighbouring mountains. The pine trees were all coated in specks of snows all year around, allowing for tourists to enjoy the taintless view everyday.

The resort offers two types of living, one being a twenty story building that had been built into the mountain side and two was the private terraces that were strategically plotted around the quieter side of the mountain. The price difference between the two was basically heaven and earth. Just the regular room in the building was already enough to make middle-income earners think twice.

Gray being himself had managed to use his connections to book the best terrace available in the Snow Villa. When they had arrived, a troop of uniformed service attendants were waiting for Sato and Gray at the entrance. They were welcomed with champagne and finger foods to which both of them declined. The menial luggage bag was immediately taken care off by the many baggage porters. The couple did not have to check in regularly like the normal tourists. They were led down a special corridor that was completely encased in the earth of the mountain. The end of the corridor was an escalator that has a glass tube around it.

When they reached the level for the Terrace houses, they had to take a private elevator this time as they had booked the most special house of them all. There was only one of it in the entire Villa and it had a 360 view around the entire mountain and its surrounding. It was namely the Sky House as it was taller than the clouds and would make visitors feel like they were the sky themselves.

"Ding." The elevator lead directly up and into the boy's vacation home. As they exit the elevator, they were welcome with an open concept design. The Sky House was more of a dome than a terrace so as to allow the visitor to get a view point from anywhere in the room. The living room had a modern and yet cosy feel. There was even a unique cylinder-shaped glass fireplace that opened up to the outside. The kitchen was also open concept and had plenty of cooking space that could fit six full chefs without feeling cramp. Only the bedrooms and toilets were in a more secluded and private location. That wasn't the end of it. For the entire stay, Sato and Gray would be given access to a full array of butlers and maids to aid in their daily necessities and activities. If they wanted to go somewhere or eat something, the butlers and maids would be able to aid them in their requests. Of course, if they wanted privacy, they could be dismissed for a period of time.

"Gray this is crazy…" Sato was shocked beyond belief. This was nothing like he had expected. Obviously he knew Gray's personality. However, he wasn't sure to what extent could one live lavishly. Never would he have thought that he would one day get to experience living in a glass dome on top of a snowy mountain in Country J.

"Do you like it?" Gray walked up and wrapped his arm around Sato's shoulder.

"No I do not just like it. I love it!" Sato turned to look at his loving boyfriend. He planted a kiss onto Gray's cheek. "Thank you for the surprise."

"Anything for you, Sato. Let us get settled in."

"Okay! I'm starving…"

The pair was given a tablet that had a digital menu to choose from. It wasn't actually needed as the hotel actually had a variety of international chefs that would allow them to pick whatever they wanted to eat. Obviously, if it was an extremely rare ingredient, the dish would have to be pre-booked beforehand. They settled for Kaiseki, a traditional multi-course Japanese dinner.
