His question amused her.
âWhy would I look for you in the middle of the night?â
âWell, you can find me whenever you want,â answered the idol matter-of-factly. âThere are plenty of things we can do together.â
It got her raising a brow in puzzlement as she shot him a doubtful look.
He could tell that there was a deep, profound meaning in those eyes; in case the woman would let her imagination run wild, he immediately explained himself in a gentlemanly manner. âWe can chat and play cards.â
Yun Shishi shook her head with a smile. âI canât play cards for the life of me. My skills at playing âFight the Landlordâ1 is only at an average level. Iâll only be losing money.â
âI can always give you a handicap if youâre a lousy player,â offered the actor with a laugh.
She mischievously retorted, âWhat a rich man you are.â
âWe can always play mahjong.â
âI donât know how to play that, either.â
The man gaped at her. âWhat do you know, then?â
She did not bother to give him a reply. Having already wasted a lot of time, she was anxious to find her manager and ask him why he was looking for her. âHmph! Iâm not telling you. Donât get me involved with your crazy antics just because youâre bored and not sleepy. Iâll be heading back to my room to rest for the night once I locate Qin Zhou. I have an early morning flight to catch tomorrow.â
âShishi, just a sec!â He hastily cried when he saw her turning to leave.
âWhat do you want?â
The actress regarded him warily, unsure of what he was up to.
âYou donât know what your agentâs room number is, do you?â
âYeah. What about it?â
âI can help you ask around.â
Five minutes later, the artist sat quite uncomfortably in the idolâs room as she surveyed her surroundings.
The luxurious suite he was staying in was twice as big as hers. More importantly, it came with a garden terrace overlooking the stunning nightscape. She felt as though she were high up in the vast, starry sky when she looked in the distance.
Sitting by the side table, Hua Jin, who had a phone in his hand, could not resist laughing when he saw the woman marveling at the garden terrace. âDo you like it a lot?â
âYes, I love it!â she gushed. âItâs lovely here. This is truly such a luxurious suite.â
âOne can quietly appreciate the nightscape in this garden suite.â
While he dialed the number of the front desk, he smilingly said, âYou can stay here tonight if you like it so much.â
It earned him a pillow whack from the woman. âZip it! Are you playing the gangster here?â
âNo, I wouldnât dareâow! It hurts...â
He covered his nose and repeatedly begged for mercy. Amid their jesting, the call to the reception connected. The idol immediately asked, âHello. Iâd like to inquire about a guestâs room number.â
Standing at the side, Yun Shishi was hit by a sudden realization.
To think I was wondering why heâs calling the front desk. It turns out that I couldâve asked the receptionist for Qin Zhouâs room number.
How stupid of me!
How did I fail to think of that?
Iâm such a dimwit.
She then noticed a frown on the actorâs face, who soon adopted a puzzled look. âWhat do you mean by âthe system got hackedâ?â
âItâs like this... The front-desk server was hacked earlier, resulting in the hotelâs system to crash. Our technicians are already working on the issue and trying to repair the system. It happened so suddenly and without warning that we were caught unprepared. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Weâve already registered your query, but due to the crash of our system, Iâm afraid that we wonât be able to provide the information you need any time soon.â
The receptionist was apparently feeling very sorry about it for she apologized profusely to him.
Soon, he ended the call; the actress immediately asked, âHow is it?â
âThe receptionist said that theyâre unable to check the room information on their system as it has crashed due to their server getting hacked.â
