[Hello. One inn, one city, one lifetime spent waiting for one person... Welcome to "Tianshan, I'm Waiting for You at Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon Inn"...]
A cool voice threaded with tenderness rang out, sweet as a spring breeze brushing his face and lingering in his heart.
It was as though a silver-haired woman stood before him. With her breathtaking beauty, graceful figure, and icy yet gentle bearing, she gazed at him tenderly, as if she had never disappeared at all.
While Mo Xie stood in a daze, Mu Bai stepped forward, looked at the inn, and said,
"'Tianshan, I'm Waiting for You at Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon'... Not a bad name. It looks like the nicest place around, too."
He turned to Mo Xie, who stood there blankly, and asked in confusion,
"Are we staying here... Mo Xie, what's wrong?"
Suddenly, that tender voice of Qin Yuer's sounded again, pulling Mo Xie out of his trance.
He rushed into the inn, shouting,
"Yu'er!"
The young woman at the front desk had been watching videos on her phone. A shout suddenly came from outside, and a young man charged in as if possessed, anxiously searching the room.
The commotion nearly made her throw her phone. She quickly ducked behind the counter.
Mo Xie looked around. When he saw no sign of Qin Yuer, he forced down his excitement and regained some composure.
"G-guest... are you all right?"
The girl peeked out from behind the counter and asked cautiously, fear on her face.
"Oh, um..."
Mo Xie scratched his cheek awkwardly. Then he darted up to her, planted both hands on the counter, and asked urgently,
"Right. That announcement that just played in the inn—who recorded it?"
"Sister Yuer, of course..."
The girl caught herself the moment she said it.
