Chapter 673 - Pie drops from the sky (2/2)

The boy and the girl were equally shocked when the pie dropped between them.

The bashful boy said, “Xin, look, a pie dropped from the sky! That means you have to promise to be my girlfriend.”

“I…”

The girl didn’t know how to react and instinctively raised her head to look around. All she saw was the night sky and the sprawling lawn around her. Where did this pie come from? It couldn’t possibly have dropped from the sky, right? But as she didn’t have any feelings for this boy, she shouted, “What kind of cheap trick is this? Have you been watching a bunch of short clips online? I do not know how you made this pie drop from the sky, but I’ll never be your girlfriend, so you better just give it up!”

After saying that, she turned around and left in a huff.

Disappointed and feeling lost, the boy picked up the pie from the ground and ate it out of dejection.

Xiao Luo looked at the both of them and realized that they had failed to become a couple. He shook his hands, raised his eyebrows, then channeled all his energy to reach Jingcheng in the shortest time possible.

He finally arrived at Jingcheng half an hour later. It was a distance of more than a thousand kilometers. His breathing was a little labored, and his body was soaked in sweat.

Compared to Xiahai, Jingcheng was much more prosperous. Neon lights flashed incessantly everywhere, and even the trees lining both sides of their streets were lit brightly in various colors. The soft light illuminated the entire Jingcheng, and it appeared like a city that never slept.

Although it was already late at night, pedestrians were everywhere. It was a bustling city.

Xiao Luo quickly merged with the crowd, and after checking the address that Su Li had sent over, he hailed a taxi and headed straight to that location.

It was Hillworth hotel. It looked very technology-inspired from the outside—it presented a stylish ambiance that was graceful and luxurious.

“Sir, please show us your identification card or the hotel accommodation card.” A hotel attendant stopped him at the main entrance with a polite smile.

“I didn’t bring it along with me,” Xiao Luo said.

“Then I’m sorry, Sir, we need to verify your identity before we can let you in.”

The hotel attendant said with a polite smile again. You need to make a booking for Hillworth hotel, and for the safety of their customers, it’s our duty to ensure that we verify the identity of every single person before allowing them to enter.

“Oh, is that so?”

With a playful smile on his face, Xiao Luo stared into the attendant’s eyes.

The hotel attendant’s pupils dilated, and suddenly, there was a quick change in his attitude.

“I’m a hotel guest staying in room 1305, you’ve already checked my identity, can you let me in now?” Xiao Luo said to him.

The hotel attendant nodded his head with no expression on his face.

Xiao Luo straightened his collar and calmly walked in.

Only when he got into the elevator did the hotel attendant snap out of the hypnosis. After recalling what happened earlier on, it felt like he had just let in an unknown person, but in his head, he was convinced that he had already verified that person’s identity and that there was no problem, though he couldn’t remember that person’s name at all.

“What… What is going on here?”

The hotel attendant scratched his head. It felt like he just awoke from a catnap and was a little absent-minded.
