"Ugh..."

It was fortunate that Tang San didn't witness this scene; he had been one-shotted in the exact same way back then, and the taste of it—tsk, tsk...

"Alright, let's head back."

Waving at Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, the three of them walked together toward their room.

They completely ignored Dai Mubai, who was struggling to pull the green onion out of his mouth on the ground, as if he didn't exist.

As for the customers present, their gazes were very strange.

Some female customers even flushed when they saw the green onion Dai Mubai pulled out.

Some hugged their partners, while others left the scene with blushing faces.

"Damn it... I've lost all face." Dai Mubai coughed a few times, then wiped his mouth.

He hadn't seen the movement clearly at all, and how did this green onion end up in his mouth?

He took a deep breath to steady himself...

I underestimated this guy. Dai Mubai had no intention of going back to demand an explanation; after all, he wasn't that kind of petty person.

Glancing at the onlookers, Dai Mubai felt he couldn't stay here any longer.

He hurried toward the exit.

In the Rose Hotel's couple-themed room.

As the door opened, what came into view were rose petals spread across the floor like a carpet, and a large pink bed surrounded by thin gauze ahead.

The entire room was permeated with an ambiguous atmosphere.

"Sister Zhuqing, are we really going to sleep here tonight?" Xiao Wu quietly approached Zhu Zhuqing, muttering shyly.

It wasn't her fault for overthinking; seeing the scenes in this room, anyone would let their mind wander in a strange direction.

Not to mention the current situation of one man and two women.

With the sweet, cloying floral scent in the room and the heart-shaped pattern made of fresh roses on that red bed, every detail pointed in one direction...

Spring had arrived, and it was time for...

"I don't know." Zhu Zhuqing, struggling to keep a straight face, turned her head slightly.

It seemed she hadn't expected this situation either.

"Could you two at least whisper behind my back?" Du Hao turned around, looking at them speechlessly. "Do you think I'm deaf?"

Although he had known what the room would be like, he hadn't expected it to be quite so...

But he wouldn't back down; he who retreats is a coward.

"So, are we really sleeping here tonight?" Xiao Wu asked cautiously, her rabbit ears drooping.

Looking at the expectant little rabbit, Du Hao pretended to ponder for a moment. "It's getting late. If we go out to find another inn or hotel, it'll be nightfall by the time we're done."

"If there's really no other choice... shall we just make do?"

"Okay, okay! Let's do that!" Xiao Wu's rabbit ears instantly perked up, and she happily grabbed Du Hao's hand.

Seeing that the little rabbit had agreed, Du Hao turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

Noticing his look, Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, but silently took hold of Du Hao's other hand.

Her intention was self-evident.

Just as the three of them reached an agreement here.

Meanwhile, in Tang San's room.

"What... the hell is this?" He stared at the room filled with pink decorations, the heart-shaped gauze bed, and the exaggerated paintings on the surrounding walls.

Had he walked into the wrong room?

Noticing a book placed on the bedside table, Tang San curiously reached out and picked it up.

"How is this exactly the same as the book Brother Hao hides under his bed..."

After resting for an hour.

A full-of-energy Xiao Wu pushed open the door and waved vigorously at those inside. "Hurry up, hurry up! I can't wait to go shopping!"

"Coming, coming." Du Hao followed closely behind.

Zhu Zhuqing, who closed the door last, followed at a leisurely pace by Du Hao's side.

Zhu Zhuqing remained by his side, never leaving him for even an inch.

"Xiao Wu, slow down, what's the rush?" Du Hao shouted at Xiao Wu, who was already running out of sight.

"Don't worry, don't worry~" Xiao Wu said dismissively.

"This rabbit..." Shaking his head, Du Hao turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still sticking close to him.

He reached out and took her jade hand. "My Zhu Zhuqing is so considerate, but I wonder about tonight..."

Before Du Hao could continue, an index finger pressed against his lips.

"Don't say it, or you'll have to take care of it yourself." Zhu Zhuqing, her face flushed with shyness, rolled her eyes at him.

How could he say such things out in public?

"Fine, I'll listen to you." Feeling the warmth of the young girl's fingertip, Du Hao calmed down completely.

"Don't let Xiao Wu know, otherwise..."

Things like this were fine in private, but if Xiao Wu found out, the situation would be hard to predict.

"It's fine, just tell her you're playing Whac-A-Mole." It wasn't the first time they'd done this; a little bluffing would suffice.

"If something goes wrong, don't blame me." Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at Du Hao.

He said that to the rabbit every time; wasn't he afraid she would get suspicious?

"It's been so long, what could possibly go wrong?" Du Hao said dismissively, then pulled Zhu Zhuqing's hand and walked toward Xiao Wu.

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent as she was pulled along. As for whether the rabbit really hadn't noticed?

That was hard to say, given how much time had passed.

They arrived on the streets of Soto City.

"Brother Hao, I want to eat this." Du Hao, having been snatched away by Xiao Wu, looked at the Carrot Pastry she was pointing at.

"Alright, alright, I'll buy it for you."

"Brother Hao is the best!" Xiao Wu immediately took the Carrot Pastry and popped a piece into her mouth.

"Mmm~ So delicious!" She cupped her cheeks, looking completely blissful.

"Sister Zhuqing, you try some too." She held a piece of the pastry to Zhu Zhuqing's lips, looking at her with eager eyes.

"This... alright." She opened her mouth to take a bite of the pastry Xiao Wu offered and tasted it.

"It's not bad." She nodded; it was indeed much better than what they had in Nuoding City.

"If it's good, eat more." The little rabbit placed the pastry in Zhu Zhuqing's hand and immediately ran off toward another stall.

"There's more good food over there, wait for me!"

Before leaving, however, Xiao Wu came to Du Hao's side and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother Hao, can you give me an advance on this month's allowance?"

"Didn't I give you 100 gold coins last time?" Du Hao crossed his arms and looked at the rabbit.

One had to know that a Great Soul Master only received 10 gold coins a month, yet he was giving this little rabbit 100 gold coins monthly.

Was this rabbit a bottomless pit? How could she spend it so fast?

"Hehe, just give me a little more~" Xiao Wu put her hands in front of her face, deliberately acting cute and pitiful.

"You, you only know how to use that trick." Despite his words, Du Hao still handed over a pouch of gold coins.

"There are 200 gold coins here, that should be enough for you, right?"

"Enough, enough." Having succeeded in her plan, Xiao Wu immediately snatched the coins.

"Love you, Brother~"

"I knew you'd pull that." Du Hao smiled and pinched Xiao Wu's cheek. "Remember, don't go too far from us."

"Received!" Xiao Wu put her hand to her ear and gave a salute.

She immediately ran toward her target stall, ready to spend lavishly.

"This rabbit..." Du Hao shook his head with a smile.

He came to Zhu Zhuqing's side and looked at the pastry in her hand. "Give me a bite."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate and directly mimicked the way Xiao Wu had fed her earlier...
