Chapter 371 - 369: Divine Calculation Xiaoyu
"Huh?"
Lin Wushuang widened her eyes. Is this best friend the worm in her stomach? How does she know exactly what I’m thinking?
"No need to be surprised, please call me Divine Calculation Xiaoyu!"
Lu Xiaoyu looked at Lin Wushuang’s widened eyes, full of disbelief, and immediately knew what she was thinking.
"Hmph, I’m not going there!" Lin Wushuang rolled her eyes and turned back to her room.
Half an hour later, a black Buick was driving on the road from South Sea City to Gongcheng, with three beauties inside. They were none other than Lin Wushuang, who was just being contrary, the mischievous Lu Xiaoyu, and the driver was the police officer Zhang Yufei.
Zhang Yufei had a two-day vacation this week and was intrigued when she heard from Lu Xiaoyu that Chen Tianlong went to Gongcheng to see the flowers.
Since the last time Chen Tianlong helped her solve a case, Zhang Yufei had a good impression of Chen Tianlong. Not seeing him these days, she felt a strange sense of longing. She’s not sure if it’s pure friendship, or if there’s a touch of excitement mixed in.
Anyway, Zhang Yufei knows that Chen Tianlong has a girlfriend, so she’s probably not going to act selfishly.
The scene shifts back to the present.
Chen Tianlong, with Wu Mengting, stepped out of Huacheng and headed to his Audi parked nearby. After getting in the car, they drove to a nearby hotel.
Though the hotel wasn’t five-star, it was considered high-end, a four-star. It’s not that Chen Tianlong didn’t have the money, but there weren’t any five-star hotels nearby, and the ones available were quite far away.
Chen Tianlong thought there was no need to go so far for just one night’s stay.
The two walked into the entrance of Huacheng Grand Hotel. They were greeted by a thirty-something beautiful lobby manager, in ten-centimeter red high heels and a charming figure, making Chen Tianlong’s breath slightly accelerated.
"Ahem..."
Wu Mengting noticed his eyes almost popping out and pouted, saying softly, "Chen Tianlong, from now on, you’re mine. Without my permission, you’re not allowed to look at other girls like that."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Chen Tianlong snapped out of his daze, smiled wryly, and replied while quickly averting his gaze.
"Haha, good listener."
Wu Mengting smiled with satisfaction, hooked Chen Tianlong’s arm, and walked towards the lobby manager. She then smiled and said, "Excuse me, is there a room available? We’d like a single room."
"Haha, yes, there is. Please wait a moment, dear sister."
The lobby manager, seeing Wu Mengting was evidently the girlfriend of the young handsome guy next to her, understood the openness of young people nowadays.
So seeing couples getting a room was nothing unusual, as long as they weren’t underage. It’s their romantic freedom.
"Okay, great."
Wu Mengting seemed calm, but actually, she was making sure Chen Tianlong wouldn’t speak with the beautiful manager, preventing any potential flirtation. Otherwise, she’d be too embarrassed to ask for a room herself.
"We’ve got a single room available on the fifth floor, Room 520. Would you like it?" the lobby manager politely asked.
"Huh? 520?"
Chen Tianlong was momentarily stunned upon hearing this number and muttered under his breath.
"Haha, yes, Room 520. Isn’t it quite special? Congratulations, you’ve hit the jackpot today. Our hotel has this rule: if non-locals come to stay and only Room 520 is available, we offer it at half price."
The lobby manager smiled lightly as she explained.
"Wow, that’s great!"
Wu Mengting was very happy to hear this news.
Though a room costing a bit over two hundred isn’t much for Chen Tianlong, saving money is always a delight.
Sometimes, a girl’s thoughts are hard to comprehend: like buying clothes, she might haggle forever to save a few bucks, but wouldn’t hesitate to spend thousands on cosmetics.
"Indeed, you two are quite lucky."
The lobby manager finished and directly took out the key, then said, "Could you provide your IDs, please? We need to register you."
Chen Tianlong didn’t hesitate and pulled out his ID, contemplating, and said, "Miss, just one ID is needed, right?"
"Yes, one is enough, but having both would be best," the lobby manager still replied courteously.
"Let’s use mine."
Chen Tianlong felt the less key information was exposed, the better. Some unscrupulous people buy personal information from hotel staff and then commit fraud.
These scams are everywhere nowadays. Chen Tianlong didn’t want Wu Mengting to become a victim.
"Alright, sir, a total of 308 yuan, including a hundred deposit. Would you like to pay in cash or card?" the lobby manager respectfully asked.
"Cash."
With that, Chen Tianlong took out his wallet, counted a few bills, and handed them to the lobby manager. Soon, she gave back the change along with the key.
Chen Tianlong smiled slightly, took the key, and they started going upstairs.
There was an elevator, so they quickly got to the fifth floor, reaching the door of Room 502. Chen Tianlong took out the key to see that it was a smart sensor key.
Following the instructions on the door, Chen Tianlong placed the smart key on the designated spot, hearing the unlocking sound, he gently pushed the door and it opened.
As they entered the room, it was completely dark. Chen Tianlong quickly found the light switch, pressed it, and the room was illumined, like daytime. Wu Mengting saw the dreamlike decor, realizing this Room 520 was tailored for couples, filled with romance everywhere.
Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting looked around at the items inside. To the right of the TV screen, a small glass dish resembling an ashtray held a brightly packaged item.
Curious, Wu Mengting walked over and glanced at it, seeing "Blue Elf, five-piece deluxe edition" written on the packaging.
"Blue Elf?"
Wu Mengting thought it might be the cartoon characters, but being in a box seemed odd. She asked Chen Tianlong beside her, puzzled, "Chen Tianlong, what is this? Why is it called Blue Elf? Aren’t elves supposed to fly?"
"Huh?"
Chen Tianlong stared at the Blue Elf Wu Mengting pointed at, his thoughts running wild.
Can’t blame Chen Tianlong. Wu Mengting is his girlfriend, their relationship is quite ambiguous, and it’s their first time getting a room. Seeing the Blue Elf stirred his emotions.
"What are you blanking out for, Chen Tianlong? I asked you what this is!"
Wu Mengting seeing Chen Tianlong stunned and speechless, asked again.
Chen Tianlong was speechless. She didn’t know what it was, but given her pure nature since they first met, it’s no surprise she’s unaware.
"Ah, this... is probably a balloon, yes, a Blue Elf balloon. Maybe some couple brought their kid here and forgot to take it, haha." Chen Tianlong fibbed.
"Oh... really? Alright."
Wu Mengting asked doubtfully.
But Chen Tianlong said so, and she wouldn’t delve deeper just because of this. She asked out of curiosity earlier.
