Chapter 107 (2/2)
Min Chen nodded solemnly. “Yes, not even one.”
Qi Mu frowned. Helplessly, he said, “Incredible, not even one… Last night, I thought since Berlin is so big, there would be no problem in booking a hotel. I didn’t expect even Daniel couldn’t find one.”
Qi Mu believed in Daniel’s ability since the man wouldn’t have been able to stay Bai Ai’s manager for more than a decade if he wasn’t capable. His extensive network of connections covered all of Europe.
Min Chen shook his head. “He’s turned stupid lately.”
Qi Mu: “…”
Daniel, chewing a lovely steak at home: “Achoo! …Who’s saying bad things about me?”
The city’s bright lights dyed the night sky a magnificent rose-red. In contrast to this man-made illumination, the moon was quite dull. It just hung quietly in the sky, its glow gentle and soothing.
Since no hotel had free rooms, Qi Mu naturally followed Min Chen to his apartment in the center of Berlin.
Seeing Min Chen bring his luggage from the garage, Qi Mu had an epiphany. He asked, “Don’t tell me… You knew I was going to stay here tonight, so you left my luggage here this afternoon?”
Min Chen froze for a moment but returned to normal before Qi Mu could react.
He shook his head then turned to look into the young man’s suspicious eyes. “This afternoon, I asked Daniel to look again. Qi Mu… I’m not God, how could I have known?”
After thinking about it, Qi Mu felt this was reasonable. Anyway, he would stay in the guest room. As far as he knew, the layout of this apartment should be the same as the ones in B City and Vienna. It would definitely have two guest rooms, what’s a big deal?
So, when he saw the apartment wasn’t even 100 m2, he stopped at the door and stared in shock. Finally, he asked, “This one… isn’t two-stories?”
Min Chen nodded matter-of-factly. A smile could be heard in his voice as he said, “Well, no.”
Qi Mu: “…”
A clean, spacious living room occupied the majority of the room in the apartment. When, Qi Mu saw a lone 9ft Steinway piano in a smaller room, he seemed to realize something and his heart skipped a beat.
“…Do you have a guest room?”
Min Chen shook his head regretfully. “A pity but no.”
Qi Mu: “…”
After a while, he asked again, “Then… how many bedrooms?”
Min Chen sighed, even more regretfully. “I live alone.”
Qi Mu: “…”
After looking around the apartment and confirming there really was just one bedroom, Qi Mu could only spread his hands helplessly. He looked at the tall man who couldn’t quite conceal his smile and asked, “Min Chen, do you know… basic Chinese hospitality?”
This took Min Chen by surprise, and a bad feeling appeared in his heart. Raising his eyebrows, he said, “Yes?”
“I can see your sofa is quite large…” Qi Mu continued meaningfully.
Min Chen: “…I guess?”
“And your living room is big, much more spacious than the bedroom, ah…”
Min Chen: “…”
“I think this sofa is perfect for you…”
Min Chen: “…I’m sleeping on the couch?”
Seeing the man’s expression screaming, “I don’t want to sleep on the sofa, don’t make me sleep on the sofa, okay?”, Qi Mu finally couldn’t stop himself from laughing. Sighing, he said, “I’ll sleep on the sofa. It’s big, it shouldn’t be a problem. I hope I’ll be able to find a hotel room tomorrow.”
As the young man moved towards the sofa, Min Chen frowned and reached out to stop him.
Surprised, Qi Mu turned to look at him. The other man hesitated for a while, before finally asking, “…You really don’t want to sleep in the bedroom?”
“If I sleep in the bedroom, where will you sleep?”
Min Chen: “…”
In the bedroom as well…
After a long silence, the handsome man let out a quiet sigh. Admitting defeat, he said, “Let’s go—my apartment is next door.”
Qi Mu: “…What?”
Min Chen: “This is my piano room.”
Qi Mu: “…………………………”
