Chapter 26: A Night of Intoxication (Part 2)

  "Ding, time limit reached, ability duplication ended." The system prompt sounded in his mind, followed by a wave of unbearable soreness in his muscles.

  "Oh," Xie Feiyu couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

  "Hey kid, is everything okay? Is your girlfriend asleep?" The driver asked softly after hearing the gentle hum. He took another glance in the rearview mirror and saw that the two didn't seem to be in a passionate state, so he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  "Master, I just have a stomachache." Xie Feiyu broke out in a cold sweat and hastily told a lie.

  "We'll be there soon, just bear with it." Teacher Fu comforted him with a sentence and stopped responding, focusing on driving his own car.

  After that wave of soreness passed, what followed was a wave of sharp pains. Xie Feiyu knew that it was the result of those few sticks he had endured. Now that his powers were gone, those stick injuries began to act up as well. However, although it hurt terribly, Xie Feiyu could only grit his teeth and bear with it. If he were to be misunderstood by the driver again, that would be even more embarrassing.

  The car stopped in front of the "Yichun Hotel", paid for the fare, and Xie Feiyu endured the pain all over his body to carry Lan Xing out. The midnight cold wind blew, but Lan Xing woke up.

  "It's so cold." Lan Xing's slender body trembled violently in the wind.

  Xie Feiyu looked at Lan Xiang's sweat-drenched top, but he himself was only wearing a thin shirt, so he had no choice but to pull her closer into his arms.

  "Ding, feeling enjoyable, reward ability points: 3 points." That metallic prompt sound rang out again.

  Reminded by the metallic sound, Xie Feiyu suddenly felt something was off. A delicate woman was nestled in his arms like a bird, and his hand was resting on her shoulder, holding onto one side of her high and perky... He couldn't help but sneakily pinch it a few times.

  "Please don't give me any hints today, okay? If there's a reward, just add it to my total directly." Xie Feiyu said with a wry smile, isn't this leading people to think in that direction?

  "Ding, choose silence!" The metallic sound rang out, and then fell silent.

  Xie Feiyu hugged Lan Xiang and entered the hall with difficulty. "Miss, open the door."

  The receptionist who was sleeping on the desk suddenly lifted her head, rubbed her eyes, saw Xie Fei and Yu, and jumped up with a startled cry of "ah".

  "Miss!" Lan Xiang was drunk and didn't notice, but Xie Feiyu scared that miss half to death, don't know what happened.

  The girl patted her bulging chest and looked at Xie Feiyu with a lingering fear. "Sir, what's going on here?"

  "What's wrong?" Xie Feiyu looked down at himself in confusion, and was startled to see that his blue shirt was stained with red and black marks all over, and his exposed hands were covered in bruises. With the added dust and dirt stuck on him, he looked no different from a homeless person on the street. Xie Feiyu couldn't see his own face, but he believed that if he could scare that little girl so much, he must look pretty bad himself.

  "Miss, I'm a graphic designer, working right now, and then my girlfriend calls me saying she's drunk... what can you do?" Xie Feiyu said casually.

  "Is she your girlfriend?"

  "Yes, can't we do it this way?"

  "Now the city is cracking down on prostitution and pornography, we need to verify it, sorry!" The little girl walked over, Lan Xiang let out a belch, causing her to retreat two steps, one small hand frantically waving in front of her nose.

  "Miss, miss, wake up." The little girl shook Lan Xiang.

  "What... happened?" Lan Xiang struggled to open her eyes, but the strong light made her squint again.

  "Miss, take a look, do you know this gentleman?"

  "I don't know this guy!" Lan Xing said with her eyes still closed, waving her left hand.

  Looking at the welcoming lady's strange gaze, Xie Feiyu became anxious and shook Lan Xiang's shoulder: "Lan Xiang, Lan Xiang, wake up, don't joke around."

  But Lan Xiang at this moment, seemed to have fallen asleep again.

  "Sorry, sir, we can't accommodate two people." The receptionist's tone immediately turned cold.

  "She knows me, she's just drunk." Xie Feiyu is now sore all over and doesn't want to find another hotel, so he tries his best to explain. "I have my ID card, I'll leave it with you as a deposit, will that do?"

  "Sorry, sir, we can't accommodate the two of you. Please leave, otherwise I'll have to call the police." The receptionist returned to the counter, one hand already on the phone.

  "Lan Xiang, Lan Xiang, wake up, you recognize me, right? Nod your head, nod your head, otherwise we won't be able to stay in the hotel." Xie Fei Yu had no choice but to call out to Lan Xiang for a final struggle.

  "Shut up! I'm so annoyed, I don't recognize you, I really don't recognize you. You bastard, how dare you cheat on me behind my back?! Waaaahhh... waaaahhh... waaaahhh..." Lan Xing suddenly buried her face in Xie Fei Yu's shoulder and burst into tears, while still punching his chest with her fists.

  Xie Feiyu looked at Lan Xiang at this time, that painful look, where was the half dignity of standing on the podium, only made him truly want to pity her and love her.

  Gently embracing Lan Xiang's shoulders, Xie Fei Yu said softly: "No, no, how could I kick your leg behind your back? You saw it wrong, you know?"

  "Sorry, sir. It seems like you two had a little quarrel? Please follow me to the 4th floor, room 406." The receptionist girl said apologetically as she walked over.

  "Lan Xiang, it's okay, nothing's wrong. Look, the young lady is laughing at us." Xie Fei Yu pinched Lan Xiang's ear and used his hand to wipe away her tears.

  "Sir, the stairs are this way." The receptionist led Xie Feiyu to a staircase on one side.

  "Don't you have an elevator?" Xie Feiyu looked at the stairs extending upwards and was stunned. Just now, with his special ability in use, carrying Lanyin up hadn't been a problem, but now his whole body was sore to death, how could he possibly carry her up to the fourth floor?

  "Sorry sir, our elevator just broke down. If you can't carry your girlfriend, I'll help you lift her up."

  What's "don't carry your girlfriend on your back"? Xie Feiyu knew the other person was teasing him, but a man's dignity wouldn't let him lose face. "No need, I'll carry her, she likes me carrying her." Xie Feiyu endured the pain all over his body and carried Lan Xin on his back, taking the room card from the welcoming lady, and quickly started climbing up with a "thud thud thud".

  I knew you men all love to show off! The receptionist smiled smugly and returned to the counter.

  With one breath, Xie Feiyu climbed up to the second floor, and his legs began to tremble. No way, he had to rest for a bit. After checking that no one was around, Xie Feiyu put down Lan Xing, leaning against the stair railing and panting heavily.

  After resting for a while, Xie Feiyu finally put down Lan Xing again and continued to climb up step by step. After much difficulty, they finally reached the fourth floor, found room 406, opened the door and went in, turned on the light, then kicked the door shut with one foot, Xie Feiyu could no longer hold on, pulled Lan Xing down and sat on the ground with a thud.

  "Husband, you've worked hard, come on, let me reward you with a kiss."
