Xiao Xin got goosebumps all over his body when he thought about this.
He lowered his head and carefully examined his entire body, only breathing a sigh of relief after finding no additional wounds...
He stared blankly at the necklace in his hand again, wondering who had put it there.
If it's not Fu Yan, then it's Yu Muqing...
Yu Muqing was so busy last night, it's impossible that she would come back just to return the necklace, right?
Fu Yan is even less likely to do it. Even if he wakes up, he should come over to take revenge on him and make him suffer. How could he obediently put the necklace by his bedside?
Xiao Xin shook his confused head when his phone suddenly rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Upon seeing the address as City A, Xiao Xin pressed the answer button and held the phone to his ear: "Hello?"
His voice was a little hoarse, a hangover, though it was a bit better than yesterday.
Hearing his voice, the manager exclaimed happily, "Xiao Xin, you're awake?"
Xiao Xin said, "Yes, she's awake."
His voice was flat, and he didn't seem very enthusiastic, which contrasted sharply with the manager's passionate voice.
The manager smiled and said, "Then you wait in the room, and I'll bring you a change of clothes right away."
Xiao Xin hummed in agreement, and then his phone went dead.
He stared at his phone for a moment, then closed his eyes and collapsed weakly onto the bed, taking a breath.
Xiao Xin suddenly opened her eyes, picked up the star necklace, and held it above her eyes to look at it.
Who put this necklace on his bed?
How did he get back to his room yesterday?
He just told Yu Muqing about this yesterday. Is Yu Muqing so efficient that she got the necklace back for him in one night?
Fu Yan, that kid, he kept pestering him for so long yesterday but still wouldn't return the necklace. Could it be that Yu Muqing took it when she entered the ward?
But if Yu Muqing took it when he entered the ward, shouldn't he have given the necklace to him in the car?
Could it be that he forgot?
"Knock knock knock—"
A knock on the door interrupted Xiao Xin's thoughts.
Xiao Xin put the necklace away, stood up, and said, "Come in."
The manager, carrying a set of clothes, entered the room like a thief, then peeked out cautiously from the doorway.
After confirming that no one was around, he pulled his head back and locked the door.
Xiao Xin propped herself up on the bed with both hands, leaning slightly back as she sat up, glancing at him with raised eyebrows: "Why do you look so sneaky?"
The manager walked over to Xiao Xin's bedside in a few steps, glanced at Xiao Xin's naked upper body, and pushed up his glasses with his index finger.
Xiao Xin has a well-proportioned figure, with every muscle on his body perfectly shaped. Paired with his face, he can almost be described as a masterpiece created by Nuwa.
The manager smiled and mentally gave him a thumbs up. "Hmm, very good!"
Xiao Xin felt uneasy under his scrutinizing gaze and couldn't help but pull the blanket up a little higher.
The manager then snapped out of his daze and looked at him with a smile: "Xiao Xin, did you sleep well last night?"
Xiao Xin was in good spirits, especially after seeing the necklace back in her possession. She felt reassured and comfortable all over.
Xiao Xin nodded and asked curiously, "Yesterday, do you know who brought me up here?"
The manager adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "I was drunk yesterday too..."
Xiao Xin withdrew her dejected gaze, crossed her arms, and leaned against the headboard.
That's true, the manager clearly got drunk before him yesterday.
“However…” The manager straightened up and cleared his throat.
Xiao Xin looked up at him again: "But what?"
“I heard from the staff that Mr. Qiao carried you up yesterday…”
"Who?" Xiao Xin asked, looking puzzled.
The manager clutched the clothes in his arms, looking at Xiao Xin with a serious expression: "Mr. Qiao Chen..."
Seeing Xiao Xin's blank expression, he asked again, "Do you know him?"
Xiao Xin scoffed dismissively. That green tea guy, that bespectacled man with a smile that hides a knife, he had just met him at the door yesterday.
Even though we met twice in one day, he still remembered.
However, instead of directly telling the manager that he knew him, he asked, "Why would he...?"
Just yesterday, Qiao Chen was looking at him with a mocking expression, as if he looked down on him. How come suddenly...
As if remembering something, the manager took out a small note from the clothes he was holding and handed it to Xiao Xin: "Here, this is what he left for you. I didn't read it, but he said that once you read this note, you'll understand everything."
Xiao Xin reached out and took the note, opened it, and read:
I'm sorry, I saw a necklace on the sofa in the private room yesterday. An employee said it was yours. I passed by the private room yesterday and saw that you were drunk. In order to return your things, I carried you upstairs. Please don't be offended.
The handwriting is neat and the strokes are powerful.
Xiao Xin squinted and exclaimed, "Beautiful calligraphy."
The handwriting reflects the person; indeed, it is quite true.
Seeing the joy on his face, the manager knew he was in a good mood, so he said, "What did Mr. Qiao say that made you so happy?"
Xiao Xin grinned at him and shook his head: "It's nothing, I just wanted to say that Mr. Qiao is a really good person."
He was so impressed that he wanted to kowtow to Qiao Chen twice.
If Xiao Xin had known that getting the necklace back would be so effortless, she would have felt her back start to hurt again.
He should have known better than to argue with Fu Yan like that.
What a pointless mess.
The manager pulled a brown paper document bag out of his clothes, then placed the clothes beside Xiao Xin's bed, and said in a serious tone, "Xiao Xin, put your clothes on first, we need to discuss something."
Xiao Xin's heart skipped a beat when she saw his suddenly serious face; she had a feeling that something was about to happen.
