Kiana: Maybe I Came at a Bad Time...

Not everyone would be kind enough to return a room keycard to the hotel.

And this way, when the card's original owner came looking for it, they would not lose a huge amount of money because the card had gone missing.

At most, he was just making a copy, okay?

Meanwhile, Kiana had gone to the surveillance room, knocked out the security guard, and was deleting the footage.

It was not the first time the two of them had done something like this.

Kiana had been completely led astray by Lin Nai.

Lin Nai: What a joke. Am I not allowed to enjoy myself?

And what was this? This was taking advantage of capitalists, okay!

"Done."

Fortunately, no one had passed by during that time. Otherwise, quite a few people at the front desk would probably have ended up on the floor.

Lin Nai climbed back over the front desk and casually headed elsewhere.

There was quite a long distance between the front desk and the main entrance.

And Lin Nai moved quickly, so the guards could not hear anything at all.

The guard in the surveillance room had not even had time to check.

Kiana, having received Lin Nai's instructions, rushed in and knocked every one of them unconscious with a single swing of a baseball bat.

Not long after.

As Lin Nai took the elevator, he ran into Kiana, who tossed a baseball bat inside.

"Phew... Say, every time we do this, don't you ever hesitate, Lin Nai?"

"These are necessary sacrifices."

Lin Nai's face was utterly devoid of compassion.

"Well, you say that every time." Kiana remembered that he had said the same thing when he first told her to do this.

But back then, they really had been living miserably.

The young her had shamefully... been persuaded.

Wuwuwu, sorry, stupid Dad. Your daughter no longer has the Kaslana spirit!

Lin Nai: Is the Kaslana spirit supposed to be this inconvenient?

Kiana: Will you shut up!

"Can't be helped. I left them a little money, didn't I? It would be a shame to waste such a rare ultra-luxury suite."

"But you spent so much of the money we picked up along the way compensating other people..." Kiana thought about it. Lin Nai always claimed these were necessary sacrifices.

Yet every time he sent her to knock someone out, he had her leave some money beside the unconscious person so they could go to the hospital after waking up.

There would still be quite a bit left over to help support their household afterward.

So whenever they traveled, their money just kept dwindling.

This guy.

He still had just the tiniest bit of kindness in him.

But not much.

"Getting hit with a bat will inevitably leave marks. It's merely compensation."

Besides, those people were not bad people.

Naturally, they had to be compensated.

"But Lin Nai, you follow the rules in plenty of other places, yet most of the time you refuse to follow hotel rules."

There was nothing wrong with staying in an ordinary room, was there?

"Because rules are meant to be broken!" Lin Nai declared righteously.

Same as always!

There was no reason not to take advantage of capitalists...

The fact that he had not strung the capitalists up from lampposts for revenge already proved how kind he was!

Kiana's mouth twitched as she complained inwardly: Isn't it because your moral bottom line is flexible?

Lin Nai glanced at the elevator, and when it reached the top floor, he led Kiana out.

Before long, they arrived in front of their room.

"Whoa... Such a huge door..."

"It's a lot bigger than ordinary hotels..."

Lin Nai and Kiana stood at the door, full of surprise.

They swiped the keycard to unlock it.

Then pushed the door open.

Living room, study, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, bathroom.

Every area was huge.

Oh, this hotel really was quite big. It was just a shame there were no games to play.

After looking around the place, which they had no idea how many square meters it covered, Lin Nai and Kiana fell silent in thought.

"This doesn't even feel like a hotel anymore..." Kiana's expression was complicated.

At the very least, she had never seen such a luxurious hotel before.

Lin Nai felt the same way. "Feels like it could cost tens of thousands of Shenzhou credits for one night..."

"It feels so expensive..."

"Yeah."

Lin Nai casually lay down on the sofa. They were out traveling, so what was wrong with staying somewhere nicer?

Keep the music going, keep dancing!

"Don't think about it so much. We're already staying here..."

Before Lin Nai could finish speaking, he saw Kiana casually turn on the television.

Lin Nai: ???

Munching on snacks she had pulled out of her pockets, Kiana looked at Lin Nai in surprise.

"What's wrong? If something happens, Lin Nai will take care of it anyway, right?"

"You really don't hold back..."

"Hehe, what's with all this politeness between us? By the way, where's the buffet restaurant?"

"I think you can call and have food brought up. There's a menu over there."

"Hmm... Never mind, I'd better go to the buffet restaurant."

Kiana thought for a moment. After all, given how quickly she ate, there was no way they could keep bringing food fast enough.

"The twenty-fifth floor."

"Oh, Lin Nai, do you want me to bring anything back for you?"

"No need. I'm not hungry yet."

"Okay."

Kiana nodded, stretched lazily, got up, and headed out.

Lin Nai did not pay much attention to it.

She was grown up enough that there was no way she could get lost.

After some time.

Lin Nai suddenly heard what sounded like someone knocking at the door and checked the time.

"Kiana ate that fast today?"

He got up to open the door, then suddenly remembered that Kiana seemed to have brought the room keycard with her.

Then who could it be?

Knock, knock, knock—

"Room service."

A soft, sweet voice came from behind the door.

Lin Nai raised an eyebrow, walked to the door, and opened it.

There stood a girl with light gray curly hair and eyes, dressed in a waiter's uniform.

That was right.

A girl.

"This hotel employs child labor?"

Her hair was styled into twin spiral pigtails, somewhat like drill bits.

"Hello, sir. Would you like room service?"

"Mm... Sure. Then I'll trouble you to change it."

Lin Nai nodded and turned to walk into the room.

That person...

If he remembered correctly, was that Bronya?

Those twin spiral drill pigtails were just too recognizable...

Bronya closed the door and followed Lin Nai, pretending to be a server as she went about her work.

Mm.

That was to say, so-called room service.

Seeing that she really seemed to be working, Lin Nai did not pay any particular attention to her. Mm...

Maybe she merely looked similar?

After all, Lin Nai had no grievances or conflicts with Bronya.

And the timeline did not match either. At this point, Bronya should have been at the Cocolia Orphanage...

The butterfly effect, parallel World Bubbles.

Lin Nai: "..."

Mm, I suddenly have a bad feeling about this...

Illustration available after updating to the latest version.

Kiana: I might have come at the wrong time...

Not long after.

Having stretched and come out after using the bathroom, Lin Nai noticed Bronya lying on her side on the sofa.

She was gently tugging at the edge of the slightly damp black stockings on her feet.

She slowly pulled them down, as gently as peeling a banana.

Revealing her fair, smooth thighs.

Her little feet curled slightly. White stockings might have been even better...

Wait, wait, wait, something was wrong here, wasn't it?
