Chapter 20: What Else Can You Do in a Hotel?
It wasn’t an illusion. It had already happened.
Did one grow after being reborn?
Is it that everything grows after being reborn?
Every time one is reborn, one grows… Although I have met God before.
“This child is the child you’re looking for, isn’t she?”
“Um, please don’t tell anyone about what happened here, okay?”
“Even if I told them, no one would believe me.”
“Maybe it really is a fairy tale.”
The heat surrounding me had dissipated. Being in the room soaking wet like this, still radiating warmth, was fine—I didn’t need to worry. I picked up Xiao An and said to Lan.
“Let’s find a place to rest. If we stay like this, I’ll freeze to death.”
“Speaking of which, there’s a hotel nearby. I’ve already booked a room, so let’s go.”
“Okay, I’ll leave it to you.” I didn’t stand on ceremony with Lan and followed her.
When we arrived at the hotel, the receptionist in the hotel lobby saw Lan and immediately showed a surprised expression.
“I’m recognized…” I said inwardly. My back felt like it was freezing.
Luckily, Lan smoothed things over. She smiled and autographed for the receptionist. Only then did I get a chance to sign.
So Zhou Zi was hiding her identity? Speaking of which, she didn’t even use a disguise yesterday. Was that why she wore such heavy makeup? There wasn’t any time distortion or anything. Oh well.
So, you came with me to do these things?
“I can only take it one step at a time now.” I went back to the room and took a hot bath. Xiao An was left to her care.
The sting on my back made me wince.
“I’m getting more and more injured these past two days.”
“If only I could go back to my own world. Hahahaha!” Ah! What is it?”
“Nothing, I’m just taking your clothes to wash them. So, I’ll be wearing a bathrobe when I come out.”
“Okay. Oh, and also, you don’t need to throw away the water after washing. I want to take a bath too.”
“Huh? You don’t need me to draw another basin of hot water for you?”
“No, I’m a little cold. I want to finish quickly.”
Her tone was very calm, as if she were stating something obvious.
A scene of her bathing flashed through my mind. I quickly shook my head and cleared the image.
This world’s Lan… I couldn’t have feelings for her.
…She wouldn’t, would she?
I dried my body and walked out wearing a bathrobe.
Lan was sitting on the bed, taking off her skirt.
Seeing me blush, she asked, “It’s just taking off a skirt, what’s there to be shy about?”
It’s not the first time I’ve seen her take off her clothes. What’s so surprising?
“Am I an idiot?”
“Isn’t it a bit strange from behind?”
“It’s too late to pretend now…”
But pretending now seemed a little too late…
“You look quite honest, but in reality…”
I was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
“I can see through you at a glance. Have you forgotten?”
I chuckled. I swallowed hard.
That smile was so long overdue.
Her smile contained the most ‘playfulness,’ as if she were playing with me in her palm.
As she walked past, she whispered in my ear.
Lan raised one leg and threw her skirt at me. “Then let’s see what you’ll be like after I come out.”
My heart pounded intensely. I’ve seen too many beautiful women. Just beauty alone…
Lan is beautiful, but that’s not the main reason why my heart is racing. Xue Bing is more beautiful than Lan.
The real reason I felt nervous was… her.
Yes, I remembered her again. Her entire being filled me with fear.
That omnipresent gaze, like a natural enemy.
Thinking back now, Lan and I…
A demon that devours souls is always…
Beneath an angelic face often hides a demonic heart. She has the appearance of a beauty.
She would definitely be interested in me.
I couldn’t stay calm. She might not be interested in me.
I followed her. That is to say, this world’s Lan is definitely…
Is it possible that Ai Zi is a lesbian?
I don’t know if this counts as self-…
Xiao An, lying in bed, was sleeping soundly with a smile on her face.
She’s at least level 80. I don’t need to send Xiao An to elementary school for now. I’m really impressed. This hotel, although it has a hotel…
I put a blanket on her, but didn’t put any clothes on her. I’ll have to ask Nanana to give her some tomorrow.
I should have written down Nana’s phone number when I had the chance.
If this happens every once in a while… Xiao An will be fine.
I’m good at taking care of children. I’ve taken care of my younger sister before, and Xue Qing too.
I have quite a lot of experience in this regard.
“Daddy…”
“She’s just too cute. I feel like I’m going to become a proud father.”
Seeing her murmuring in her sleep, I smiled and gently stroked her head.
Lan emerged from the bathroom. Her hair was wet, and her skin was pink, still steaming.
She wasn’t wearing a bathrobe, but only a bath towel wrapped around her. I swallowed again.
My mouth twitched. “This is going to happen for sure…”
“This isn’t right…”
“Wait, you’re a child. Aren’t you going to do something to me?”
“Hoo… What? I am already…”
“What do you think?”
Lan crawled onto the bed and sat down, hooking my chin with a seductive pose.
“…To be honest, I didn’t believe it.”
“Because I have the physical abilities… but my body is still honest.”
“Are you energetic today?”
“…This is a normal physiological reaction.”
“You were acting like a gentleman just now. Do you want my attention and care?”
“…”
“Don’t play games. I know you’re not. You’re naturally looking at me and listening.”
“From the first time we met…”
“Calling you ‘Lan’ is also…”
“…So perceptive.”
Thousands of words summed up into one sentence. “So you can deduce this information.”
Could it be that with just a few words and a little information, or is it another world? Or did we have a past relationship before?
“Maybe we should… Please hold me now, okay?”
I nodded, not refusing Lan.
I opened my arms and hugged her.
“…I’ll have another child with you,” I whispered in her ear.
A moment later, Lan asked back.
“I feel…”
“It’s late at night, and you came out barefoot.”
“Then you must have been… the girl who came out of the fire… so she would throw herself into my arms.”
“That’s why she became so obsessive.”
“It’s the same now. She met someone…”
“…Can I confide in you?”
“If we keep hugging like this, I might not be able to hold back.”
“Okay… but before that…”
“Even if you want to do something to me now, I won’t give you the chance—”
“—”

I actually felt a little regretful—
Lan left my embrace and started to put on her clothes in front of me.
She smiled again, her tone no longer carrying any…
Even with her back to me…
“I say, aren’t you tempting fate?”
“…It’s a heavy crime to be wearing a shirt that’s not buttoned up.”
A moment later, Lan finished dressing.
“Are you seducing me?”
“Please, dress properly!”
“…And then ran out.”
“Today, I’ll…” I didn’t know what happened before.
Then Lan started to talk. After a long pause, she said strangely.
“I don’t understand… Maybe I’m lying to you.”
“I think your mother…”
“Huh?”
“Even if your mother and your aunt were pregnant at the same time, the possibility of that is too low.”
“How could such a thing happen unless the doctor and nurse were bribed?”
“And also… How should I put it?”
“Ah, I don’t think your aunt would…”
“…Considering your father…” She asked with her eyes.
“How should I put it? I can’t quite explain it myself. Because I have a younger sister too.”
“Your aunt would definitely never hurt your father, because… they are siblings, right?”
“Is that so…”
“…Lying to me…”
She seemed somewhat relieved.
“That’s great. I hope it helps her.”
“Oh, right. Now… What’s your name?”
“…You’re asking now?”
I scratched my head and said to her.
“My name is Juncheng An. Nice to meet you.”
“Heh heh, me too. Really, very much.” She bowed.
She shook my hand… Wait, don’t get any wrong ideas, it’s not that.
After that, it was getting late.
What else can you do in a hotel?
Of course, sleep.
