Jiang Mianmian smiled and took his arm, resting her head against him.
With him by her side, she didn't care whether she saw fireflies or not.
“You’ve just arrived in Southeast Asia, you should get some rest.” She looked at him. “Hmm… I’ll go get you a room.”
"Need not!"
Huo Junyu grabbed her hand and pressed his forehead against hers, saying, "I can't afford to stay in such a nice hotel."
"Don't tell me you came to Southeast Asia empty-handed!"
"I didn't come empty-handed." He showed her his duffel bag. "Here are a few clothes!"
"you……"
Jiang Mianmian opened her eyes wide and suddenly realized what was happening.
"You're not going to be sharing a room with me, are you?"
"Hmm." The man nodded seriously. "That's a good idea!"
"Huo Yu!"
"What, you won't take me in?" He leaned close to her ear, his voice gradually lowering. "You really have the heart... to let me sleep on the streets in this unfamiliar place?"
Jiang Mianmian glared at him.
"Anyway, I'm already here," Huo Junyu continued to whine, "I saved up some money beforehand and bought plane tickets. If you don't give me a place to stay, I'll really sleep on the streets tonight..."
"Alright, alright!" She blushed slightly, pursed her lips, and smiled gently. "Then come with me!"
Huo Junyu finally succeeded and laughed heartily.
"Hey, let's not walk together later, so no one sees us."
"Okay, sure."
"Hurry up and catch up, just run into the elevator!"
"knew."
"Huo Yu, pull your hat down a bit, don't attract attention!"
The man smiled and nodded in agreement to all her requests.
Jiang Mianmian walked ahead, and when she passed the hotel reception desk, she unconsciously lowered her head, her little hand beside her gesturing to him to hurry up and catch up.
Huo Junyu deliberately walked slower, wanting to see her guilty and anxious expression a little longer.
However, when the receptionist and lobby manager saw him, they first suspected that there was something wrong with their eyes.
After confirming that this person was the young master of the Yin family, everyone was extremely shocked!
Although the major shareholder of this hotel is the Yin family, they have basically never hosted members of the Yin family. When this young lord comes to Southeast Asia, he stays at the Yin family manor, the General's Mansion, or even the Grand Palace. Why would he need a five-star hotel like this to serve him?
But today...
The manager suppressed his pounding heart, his eyes shining, his mouth almost stretched to his ears, and he stood ramrod straight as if he had seen the God of Wealth. He was about to give a ninety-degree bow when Huo Junyu stopped him with a murderous glare!
Jiang Mianmian was still running ahead with her head down, unaware of the commotion behind her.
After glaring at the manager, Huo Junyu hurriedly followed.
Only after the two entered the room did Jiang Mianmian relax her tense nerves and let out a long sigh of relief after glancing back and forth at the door.
"According to Southeast Asian law, it is illegal for a hotel to register one person's ID card but allow two people to check in!"
Jiang Mianmian was very worried about this, but the other person seemed very calm and even took a drink from the refrigerator.
"Huo Yu..."
"Don't worry, they won't find me."
Even if they found out, they wouldn't dare do anything to him.
"So, when I go out to class tomorrow, you'll hide in your room?"
"Hmm, no problem." Huo Junyu chuckled, then took a quilt from the closet and spread it on the sofa.
Jiang Mianmian laughed and hugged him. With her warm, soft body in his arms, Huo Junyu almost lost control. A regretful thought suddenly flashed through his mind: Why was I so noble just now, offering to sleep on the sofa?
"Huo Yu..."
"Um?"
The little woman in his arms said softly, "After we get our marriage certificate, let's go to Southeast Asia for our honeymoon, okay? I really like this place!"
"real?"
"Hmm! There's an indescribable sense of familiarity about it."
Huo Junyu gently kissed her forehead, a smile flickering in his eyes.
He suddenly remembered a distant past, when he, a tiny child, was holding the hand of an even smaller one, his doll-like little sister, as she was learning to walk. He had promised her that one day he would take her to Southeast Asia to catch fireflies…
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly felt as if it had been struck hard.

Central City, the Lu family.
When Lu Ran changed her clothes and came downstairs, Lu Lishan and his wife were already waiting for her at the dining table.
Lin Yuqing asked the maid, "Have you prepared both Chinese and Western food? Which one has Miss preferred to eat these days?"
The maid stammered and couldn't answer, because Lu Ran didn't eat much, and was the kind who could manage with just a piece of bread for breakfast.
Lin Yuqing frowned, somewhat annoyed, and got up to go to the kitchen to prepare the food herself.
Lu Ran quickly called out to her, "No...no need! I can eat anything..."
Lin Yuqing was taken aback, turned around and saw her, then immediately smiled brightly.
"Xiaoyou, it's okay, how about Mom makes you a sandwich? I see you prefer milder flavors, so I'll put less salad dressing on it... Heh, in this respect, you're nothing like your dad, he likes strong flavors!"
Lu Ran bit her lip, suddenly feeling pity for her.
During this time, Lin Yuqing was doing her best to please her and to talk to her more.
Lin Yuqing could be happy for a long time as long as she gave her a smile.
Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry... Although she wasn't a mother herself, she could understand Lin Yuqing's eagerness to make up for her lack of a daughter, and the more she felt this way, the less she dared to face this "mother".
They dare not face her kindness, and dare not imagine what it would be like if the truth came out one day, and this poor couple had to suffer the blow of losing their daughter again.
