"Ugh..."
Good thing Tang San hadn't seen that. Back then, he'd been taken down in one move just like that. Tsk, tsk... he knew exactly how it felt.
"Alright, let's head back."
He waved to Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, and the three of them walked toward their room together.
They completely ignored Dai Mubai, who was still on the ground, struggling to pull out the green onion, as if he didn't exist.
As for the customers who'd witnessed it, they all wore strange expressions.
Some of the female customers even blushed when they saw the green onion Dai Mubai had pulled out.
Some clung to their partners, while others left the place with flushed faces.
"Damn... what a huge embarrassment." Dai Mubai coughed a few times, then wiped his mouth.
He hadn't seen the movement just now at all. And how had that green onion ended up in his mouth?
He took a deep breath...
"I underestimated that guy." Dai Mubai had no intention of confronting him about it. After all, he wasn't that kind of petty person.
He glanced at the crowd watching him and realized he couldn't stay here any longer.
He hurried out the door.
Inside a couple-themed room at the Rose Hotel.
As soon as the door opened, they saw rose petals scattered across the floor like a carpet, along with a pink bed surrounded by gauzy curtains.
The whole room was steeped in an intimate atmosphere.
"Sister Zhuqing, are we really sleeping here tonight?" Xiao Wu crept over to Zhu Zhuqing and murmured shyly.
It was no wonder she was letting her imagination run wild. Anyone who saw the room would have thoughts that wandered in a strange direction.
Especially with one man and two women there.
The sweet scent of flowers filled the room, and a heart made of fresh roses adorned the red bed. Everything pointed in one direction...
Spring had come, and it was that time again...
Zhu Zhuqing tried to keep a straight face and turned her head slightly.
She hadn't expected the room to be like this, either.
"Could you two at least talk behind my back?" Du Hao turned around and looked at them helplessly. "Do you think I'm deaf?"
He'd known the room would be like this, but even he hadn't expected it to be quite so...
Still, he wasn't going to back down. Whoever did was a coward.
"So are we really sleeping here tonight?" Xiao Wu asked cautiously, her rabbit ears drooping.
Looking at the little rabbit, who seemed rather hopeful, Du Hao pretended to ponder for a moment. "It's already late. If we go looking for another inn or hotel, it'll be nighttime by then."
"If we have to... we could make do?"
"Sure, sure! Let's do that." Xiao Wu's rabbit ears sprang upright, and she happily took Du Hao's hand.
Seeing that the little rabbit had agreed, Du Hao turned to Zhu Zhuqing.
Noticing his gaze, Zhu Zhuqing said nothing. She simply took his other hand.
Her meaning couldn't have been clearer.
Just as the three of them had reached an agreement...
At the same time, in Tang San's room.
"What... is this supposed to be?" Tang San stared at the pink decorations filling the room, the heart-patterned gauzy bed, and the extravagant paintings on the walls.
Had he walked into the wrong room?
His gaze fell on a book lying on the bedside table. Curious, he reached out and picked it up.
"How is this exactly like the book hidden under Brother Hao's bed..."
After resting for an hour...
Full of energy, Xiao Wu pushed open the door and waved excitedly toward the others inside. "Hurry up, hurry up! I can't wait to go shopping!"
"Coming, coming!" Du Hao hurried out after her.
Zhu Zhuqing was the last to close the door. She followed beside Du Hao at an unhurried pace.
Zhu Zhuqing never left his side.
"Xiao Wu, slow down! What are you in such a hurry for?" Du Hao called after Xiao Wu, who was already nearly out of sight.
"Relax, relax~" Xiao Wu said nonchalantly.
"That rabbit..." Du Hao shook his head, then turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still right beside him.
He reached out and took her delicate hand. "My Zhu Zhuqing is so considerate. I just wonder what tonight..."
Before Du Hao could finish, an index finger pressed against his lips.
"Don't say it. Otherwise, you can take care of it yourself." Zhu Zhuqing blushed and shot him a look.
How could he say something like that out in public?
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Feeling the warmth of her fingertip, Du Hao immediately behaved himself.
"Don't let Xiao Wu find out, or else..."
They could keep that sort of thing between themselves. If Xiao Wu found out, who knew what would happen?
"It's fine. Just tell her you're playing whack-a-mole." It wasn't the first time, after all. They could just fob her off.
"If something happens, don't blame me." Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at Du Hao.
He told the rabbit that every time. Wasn't he worried she'd get suspicious?
"What could happen after all this time?" Du Hao said unconcernedly. Then he tugged Zhu Zhuqing along by the hand and headed toward Xiao Wu.
"..."
Pulled along by him, Zhu Zhuqing fell silent. But had the rabbit really not noticed?
Not necessarily. It had been going on for quite a while, after all.
They arrived on the streets of Suotuo City.
"Brother Hao, I want one of these." Xiao Wu pulled Du Hao over and pointed at the carrot pastry.
"Sure, sure. We'll buy it."
"Brother Hao is the best!" Xiao Wu took the carrot pastry and popped it into her mouth.
"Mmm~ So good!" She covered her cheeks in delight, looking utterly blissful.
"Sister Zhuqing, you should try one too." She offered a pastry to Zhu Zhuqing's lips, looking at her expectantly.
"Well... alright." Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth and took a bite of the pastry Xiao Wu offered, then tasted it.
"It's pretty good." She nodded. It really was much tastier than the food in Nuoding City.
"If it's good, have some more." The little rabbit placed the pastry in Zhu Zhuqing's hand, then immediately ran toward another stall.
"They've got more good stuff over there. Wait for me!"
Before she left, though, Xiao Wu went to Du Hao's side and said sweetly, "Brother Hao, could you advance me a bit of my allowance for this month?"
"Didn't I give you a hundred gold coins last time?" Du Hao folded his arms and looked at the rabbit.
A Soul Grandmaster only earned ten gold coins a month, but he gave this little rabbit a hundred every month.
Was this rabbit a black hole for money? How did she spend it so fast?
"Hehe, just give me a little more, please~" Xiao Wu pressed her hands together in front of her face, deliberately acting cute and pitiful.
"You, always pulling this trick." Though he said that, Du Hao still handed her the pouch of coins.
"There are another two hundred gold coins in here. That should be enough, right?"
"Plenty!" Xiao Wu took the coins at once, pleased that her plan had worked.
"Love you, bro~"
"You always say that." Du Hao smiled and pinched Xiao Wu's cheek. "Remember, don't wander too far from us."
"Got it!" Xiao Wu raised a hand to her temple and saluted.
Then she immediately ran toward the stall she'd set her sights on, ready to spend big.
"That rabbit..." Du Hao shook his head with a smile.
He went over to Zhu Zhuqing and looked at the pastry in her hand. "Give me a bite?"
Hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate. She simply imitated the way Xiao Wu had fed her just now...
