Travel · Guangzhou Arc (Thirteen): Here It Is, the Legendary Sneaking-Ahead Incident!

Ten floors.

"Knock knock knock."

"Phew~ Here they come~" Suisui opened the door sleepily, and there stood Jinhsi and Changli, who had come to deliver breakfast.

"Good morning, Miss Suisui. Here, breakfast." Jinhsi handed over the breakfast.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Lingyin~" Suisui said with a sweet smile, appearing every bit the sweet and adorable young girl.

"Speaking of which, I think I saw Yangyang wasn't in her room?" Jinhsi glanced into the room twice but didn't find any trace of Yangyang.

"Oh~ you mean Yangyang, Yangyang, she..." Suisui turned her head to look at the bed, and only then did she see that the part of the bed that belonged to Yangyang had not been moved at all.

"Where 'Yangyang?!"

Suisui immediately tensed up and hurriedly asked Liang Yu, who was fixing her hair in the next bed, "Liang Yu, did you see Yangyang come back last night?!"

She went to bed early last night and was already asleep before Yangyang came back, so she could only ask Liang Yu, who was still awake at the time.

"No, she didn't come back until I went to sleep." Liang Yu shook her head.

"What did Miss Yangyang do last night? Does Miss Suisui remember?" Changli immediately inquired about Yangyang's whereabouts last night.

"Ah... she said she wanted to bring some food to Brother Ling, so she went to his room," Suisui recalled.

"Did Young Master Xiao send Feixin to Miss Suisui afterwards?"

"No." Suisui shook her head vigorously.

"Oh~ things seem to be getting interesting. A man and a woman alone in a room, without even exchanging a single Feixin, what exactly is going on...?" Changli asked meaningfully.

Suisui naturally understood the deeper meaning in Changli's words, and blushed without her consent.

"That can't be..." she said, still doubtful.

"I remember Young Master Xiao's room is right across from this one. Instead of guessing, why don't we just ask him directly?" Jinhsi suggested.

"That makes sense." Changli and Suisui both agreed with the suggestion.

However, just as they were about to take action, the door to room 1030 was opened from the inside.

The four of them stared intently at the gradually opening door, preparing to subject Xiao Ling to "severe interrogation" as soon as he emerged.

As a result, the next moment they stood there stunned, as if struck by lightning.

The person who came out of the room was not Xiao Ling at all; it was clearly Yangyang, dressed in revealing clothes. The straps of her sports vest had even slipped down to her arms, and she was rubbing her eyes as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"Miss Yangyang, you you you you..." Xixi was so agitated that she temporarily lost her ability to speak. Steam rose from her head, and a large patch of dragon scales immediately crawled out of her arms.

Yangyang snapped out of her daze and realized that four pairs of big eyes were staring at her intently. Remembering that she had just come out of Xiao Ling's room, she immediately understood how awkward the situation was.

"Um! No! You've misunderstood! I just took a nap in Xiao Yu's room...!" she hurriedly explained, her cheeks flushed.

"How do you sleep, Miss Yangyang?" Changli teased. "By the way, if your clothes were a little neater, your words would have been more credible."

Yangyang was startled by this and immediately glanced at her clothes, only then realizing that they did indeed look somewhat disheveled.

Uh... it doesn't seem very convincing to say that I just took a proper nap in Xiao Ling's room while dressed like this.

This situation is similar to what locals often describe as being caught red-handed sneaking away, and you yourself are the one who sneaked away.

To make matters worse, she seemed to hear Aemeath and her entourage marching in a large group towards them.

"Hey, Yangyang, Sister Suisui! Good morning... ah...?"

Aemeath realized almost instantly that something was wrong: the unusually blushing Yang Sui sisters and Jinhsi, the smiling Changli, and the gossiping Liang Yu.

Wait a minute? Why did Yangyang come out of A-Yu's room?!

"Oh dear~ Ling's in big trouble~" Dania said gleefully.

"Yaya, you don't seem worried at all about your senior being snatched away..." Sigrika said helplessly.

"It's okay, Xixi. I don't care how many times someone sneaks away, because I'll always get my money back from them with interest in the end."

"Haha, you guys have really good stamina..."

As for Aemeath, she immediately went over and sniffed Yangyang's scent.

"Uh, Little Ai, what are you doing..." Yangyang said rather embarrassedly.

"This smell...! If I'm not mistaken, it's something only A-Yu has!" Aemeath's eyebrows shot up. "Yangyang, you actually ate this behind our backs!"

"I didn't...!" Yangyang was like a boiling copper kettle, hissing and steaming, feeling so ashamed she wanted to disappear into the ground.

Xiao Yu, come save me! QAQ

"What's wrong? Why are you yelling so early in the morning?"

Very well, the second protagonist of this incident, Young Master Xiao, has arrived on the battlefield. So how will he deal with this tense situation?

"A-Yu! Confess! What did you and Yangyang do in the room last night!" Aemeath pouted angrily. "Confess and you'll be treated leniently! Resist and you'll be punished severely!"

"Nothing much," Xiao Ling replied without hesitation. "She fell asleep in my room, so I carried her to my bed. Well... the most outrageous thing I probably did was use her as a body pillow. That's all."

"Then why didn't you bring Yangyang back last night?" Suisui asked angrily. "I didn't see her this morning, and I was terrified!"

"I admit I didn't do well on this." Xiao Ling neither confirmed nor denied Suisui's accusation. "I apologize. At least I should have sent you a message, Sister Suisui. I was too busy playing video games last night."

"Besides, if I really did that to Yangyang, Little Ai you think she could still stand up right now? You know my physical condition~"

"Pah!" Aemeath blushed and immediately spat, "Is this something you can say here?"

"But I don't think there's a better way to prove your innocence than this. As someone who's experienced it, you should know that best."

"I feel like the conversation is gradually going in a strange direction and there's no going back..." Liang Yu said with an awkward but polite smile.

Not redeeming?! What do you mean by "experienced"? Masaka!

Hajiling, you need to prove your innocence for me, Chovy!

"Aemeath, could it be that you and Young Master Xiao have already...?!" Even the Xixi realized at this moment that something was wrong with the relationship between the two.

"Yes, A-Yu and I have already done it."

?

Xixi swore that the shock she experienced in the past half hour this morning was far greater than anything she had ever experienced before.

Haha... I'm tired, let's destroy it...

Shocked by what had just happened, she developed mosquito coil-like eyes and collapsed on the spot, steaming.

"Hey, Magistrate Jin! Are you alright?" Suisui immediately inquired about Jinhsi's condition.

Everyone present immediately turned their attention to Jinhsi, who had already been dealt a severe blow, and the matter of Yangyang sneaking away was left unresolved.
