C18 (1/2)
The guest room was on the second floor. He pushed the door open and entered, only to see a screen made out of ink. There was a beige bed covered with white bedsheets, and beside the window was a blue porcelain bottle filled with stars.
Sunlight shone into the room; it was clean and bright. Yanqi liked this room at first glance, so she told the innkeeper, ”We'll stay here, two rooms!”
The Lady Boss looked to be in her thirties, and the peaceful life in and out of the old town made her give off a gentle aura. Upon hearing this, she first smiled, and then shook her head, ”Sorry, we only have two guest rooms. The other room has just been occupied by a couple, so this is the only room.”
Yanqi frowned in disappointment. ”What a coincidence!”
The Lady Boss helplessly shrugged her shoulders. ”Yes, I'm sorry.” Saying that, he swept his gaze over her and Yo Yo and asked probingly, ”You're not lovers?”
Yanqi smiled warmly and said, ”No!”
”That's a pity, you can only go somewhere else to take a look.”
Yanqi reluctantly turned her head to look at the sky full of stars in the vase. Suddenly, someone tugged at the corner of her clothes. She shook her wrist and whispered, ”Mhmm, can we stay here for a while?”
”You like it here too?” Yanqi raised her eyebrows and asked.
”I like it!” He nodded heavily.
Yanqi went silent for a moment before calming herself down and turning to the Lady Boss. ”We will be staying here. Thank you!”
However, she didn't ask any questions and nodded with a smile, ”Alright, I hope you all can enjoy your stay here. I'll go and get you some hot water now!”
”This is trouble!”
After the Lady Boss had gone out, Yanqi opened her suitcase and put her toiletries and clothes in the cupboard. She stood in front of the window with her lips slightly bent, looking very happy.
