Chapter 68 Chapter 5 He wanted him to continue touching him.

Although the "weird boy" with a snake-like body hardly communicated with Yan Hao, it did not prevent the latter from taking meticulous care of the former:

- Prepare rich and delicious meals for the little snake on time; apply medicines that are conducive to wound recovery on the snake's tail, elbows, neck, back and other parts of the body; prepare oral medications for the little snake to supplement nutrition and missing elements; and soak it in a medicinal bath for half an hour before going to bed.

As the heir of the Yan family who had been trained for many years, Yan Hao had no experience in taking care of anyone before. This was his first time, and he himself found it novel.

The water vapor in the bathroom formed a hazy mist. Yan Hao watched the little snake carefully dip its tail into the brown potion bit by bit.

"How about it?"

"Does it hurt?"

After all, the medicine is somewhat irritating. When the wounds that have not yet healed come into contact with the medicine, fine blood vessels immediately appear, spreading slowly like a red spider web in clear water.

"Does it hurt?"

Yan Hao frowned slightly and couldn't help asking again.

He thought that if Shengqing said it hurt, he would immediately add more water to dilute it. Although this might affect the efficacy of the medicine and slow down recovery, it would still be good to reduce the irritation.

But the snake boy neither nodded in agreement nor shook his head in denial.

He looked like he was used to the pain, and continued to observe Yan Hao's expression quietly with his light-colored eyes covered with a layer of mist.

After noticing that the human's expression was not disgusted or angry, he looked at it a few more times.

Here it comes again. This little thing has been like this for the past few days, always looking at him with this look.

"What's wrong?"

Yan Hao asked.

Sheng Qing quickly looked away, pretending to be looking at the blood spreading in the water, as if it was some interesting pattern, while he was still secretly paying attention to Yan Hao's expression out of the corner of his eye.

Yan Hao felt amused, but still pretended not to notice. He reached out to check the water temperature of the medicinal bath and then looked at the time.

"There are only five minutes left."

During the second medicinal bath, the little snake had figured out the general process. When Yan Hao was mixing the proportions of the medicinal powder, the little snake boldly observed every movement of his hands.

The third medicinal bath...

By the fourth time today, the clever little snake had fully understood the entire medicinal bath process. As soon as the medicinal powder was poured in, it slid into the medicinal bath and soaked in it without waiting for Yan Hao to give instructions.

Looking at Sheng Qing, who had half of his body submerged in the pale green medicine pool, with only half of his face exposed, staring at him without blinking, Yan Hao subconsciously touched his head and blurted out, "Why are you so obedient..."

The little snake's reaction was a moment of surprise at first, as if it didn't realize what was happening, and it blinked slowly.

The next moment, the snake's tail, which had previously shown no reaction to the medicinal bath, began to shake a little slowly, as if it had been scalded, causing ripples on the water surface.

Yan Hao thought there was something wrong with the mixing of the medicine powder, so he lowered his head to check the wound. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the little snake slowly raise its hands, and touch its head in a stiff and awkward manner, imitating Yan Hao's previous movements.

He was imitating Yan Hao's movements.

In fact, Yan Hao discovered this very early. This clumsy yet clever little snake loved to imitate him very much. After he made a phone call in front of him for the first time, he would imitate him and knock on the table whenever he met him.

The same is true now.

He touched his head again and again, perhaps because he felt something different. After touching it twice, he stared at Yan Hao's hand again.

He didn't say anything, but Yan Hao clearly saw a deep doubt in his light-colored eyes.

He was curious about what that was...

He wanted him to continue touching him.

For the past few years, Shengqing had always associated human touch with pain. But since meeting this person, human touch no longer brought pain, but an indescribable warmth.

Why? What is this?

Shengqing didn't understand, but he instinctively liked this gentle touch that didn't cause any pain.

He liked it and he wanted more.

But Shengqing was also curious. He didn't have any wounds on his head, so why would someone touch his hair? Did he like his hair?

He was about to reach out and pull out a few hairs, but was quickly stopped by the human in front of him. Sheng Qing thought, oh, so you don't want his hair.

The man showed that expression that Shengqing couldn't understand, and his voice became softer: "I don't want your hair, I just... just because you are cute, this is a friendly gesture to express my affection..."

The little snake didn't know whether it understood or not, but it stared at him with its light gray eyes and then tilted its head.

Yan Hao couldn't help it and raised his hand to touch it again.

Shengqing has long black hair that reaches his waist. Due to malnutrition, his hair looked dry and frizzy, and many strands of hair were tangled into clumps.

However, after Yan Hao's careful care over the past few days, with the nourishment of countless expensive conditioners and various essential oils, the hair has become visibly softer, with a coolness unique to snakes, and feels as good as stroking a piece of soft silk.

When the warm palm gently stroked it, the little snake narrowed its eyes slightly, and its thin eyelids and thick, long, light-colored eyelashes trembled slightly.

"So cute." This was the word that suddenly popped up in Yan Hao's mind. His heart felt as if being brushed by an invisible feather, and a tingling sensation spread throughout his body.

The wheels of the cleaning truck rolled over the carpet, making a rustling sound.

When the cart stopped outside a guest room, the room attendant almost reflexively reached out for the tools, until he saw the sign on the door handle clearly, then stopped and pushed the cart to the next room.

It was just dawn outside and many guests were still asleep.

As it was the handover time between the day and night shifts in the housekeeping department, the linen room at the end of the corridor suddenly became bustling and crowded.

Which room's guest mentioned what time to call for a reminder, which room's equipment is broken and needs repair, which room has been cleaned and which has not...

Amidst the clamor of a work handover, a voice suddenly popped up: "Hey, is there one person or two people living in room VS03?"

"There should be two of them, right? But I've been living here for several days, and I've only seen one. I haven't seen what the other one looks like yet."

A young girl who was busy taking notes looked up at the sound: "Ah, two people? I thought it was just one. I've delivered water twice before, and the person who opened the door was the same each time..."

"How could we possibly have two? They order two meals every day. One of them has a very light palate, and every time they order, they always remind us not to put too much seasoning. They also probably like juice, so they deliver it three times a day..."

The person who was speaking was an old employee who had delivered meals to the suite the most times. He vividly described Yan Hao's picky tone and his expression at the time.

"Oh, don't forget to deliver breakfast. The front desk received a package for Suite VS03 last night, but I forgot about it while on duty. I'll deliver it today along with breakfast. Remember to only knock once, and don't knock too loudly..."

"So the one in the room is your girlfriend?"

The young girl was a newcomer who had just arrived. She was still young and full of fantasies about love. When she mentioned the guest in suite VS03, her face flushed: "That guest looked quite young and handsome, and was surprisingly attentive. I just don't know what his girlfriend looks like..."

The married aunt on the side was obviously much calmer. She advised with the tone of someone who had experienced it, "Men are all the same. You'll understand after working here for a long time. Aren't there many men who already have wives at home but are still looking for someone else? And the guest in that suite..." The aunt paused, "...I always feel that it's not that simple..."

Most guests stay in hotels for business trips or pleasure, but this guest almost never goes out. He stays in his room most of the time and rarely even goes to other floors of the hotel.

Weird. Very weird.

You should know that although their hotel cannot be compared with those in first-tier cities, it is also a very famous high-end hotel in the local area. The buffet restaurant in the store offers a variety of Chinese, Western and exotic cuisines. In addition, there are cafes, water bars, gyms, and constant temperature swimming pools. There is also an executive lounge and SPA treatments exclusively for VIP guests, etc.

Because of such features and extremely thoughtful service, many internet bloggers come here to check in and shoot videos.

But the man lived in a luxury suite with a sky garden in the hotel, but he had never been to any of the rooms, and the mysterious roommate who had never appeared in the room rarely showed up.

Several hotel staff members had secretly discussed this matter. This was all too abnormal.

"It's not that kind of imprisonment, is it?"

During one of the department’s weekly meetings, a young girl came up with this idea.

Then the others laughed subconsciously. Firstly, this behavior was too blatant, and secondly, the other party did not look like the person. The manager sitting at the first seat stopped the newcomer's random speculation with a helpless expression.

"Anyway, didn't the manager emphasize at the meeting that the guest in that room was of special status, and told us not to disturb them unless necessary..."

"oh oh…"

The handover work was carried out in an orderly manner. The employees who had handed over their shifts went out to work, and the only people left in the linen room were those who had worked the night shift the day before.

The staff changed out of their uniforms and separated into groups of three or four, slowly heading back to their dormitories to rest. The conversation naturally shifted from guests to the latest entertainment gossip, popular TV series, and so on...

"A while ago, my relative told me that a big circus had come to our hometown."

“It’s been many years since we last saw each other…”

"Yeah, I said that at the time. I asked my aunt to take a few more pictures. I heard there's a snake spirit that's been reincarnated, with a human body and a snake's tail..."

"Fuck, is this true..."

"I didn't believe it at first, thinking it was some kind of trick. But then my aunt took some pictures of me, and it turned out to be real! The kind that moves!"

"Hey, let me see..."

The two heads came together, and the moment the photo on the phone was opened, two gasps were heard.

The environment should be in a red shed with dim lighting. In addition, the pixel of the mobile phone is not very good, so the photo is not particularly clear.

However, no matter how blurry it was, one could still clearly see a strange young man with a snake-like tail and a human body, chained like an animal by several iron chains. His head was buried deep, with a section of his neck bone clearly protruding from the back, and his slightly messy long hair hung down, covering his facial features.

"This...is this a prop to wear?"

My colleague's expression was still a little strange.

"My aunt is serious. She said someone had scales pulled out and bled." The girl who spoke frowned uncomfortably.

"Where is this?"

"You can't watch it now. I went the day before yesterday, and it was the last show. The snake man wasn't there, and all I saw was a sickly lion, covered in wounds and stinking..." The footsteps of the two waiters gradually faded away, and their voices became increasingly vague. "We were probably halfway through when suddenly a bunch of people in uniform came in to check for IDs, and the whole show was stopped..."
