The receptionist smiled and didn't take it seriously.
These days, everyone values food, since grain and ration coupons are rationed for each person.
Besides, it was her first time meeting them, so she just listened to their polite words. Moreover, her sister was a waitress, and she would occasionally get a special meal with her, so she didn't think much of it.
It has to be said that she was in a good mood and immediately booked them a room that was excellent in every way.
"Today is the Double Ninth Festival. Many people have come to the provincial capital park to enjoy the lake and chrysanthemums. You are not used to the dormitory-style rooms. This is the only double room with a private bathroom that we have left. It has good lighting and ventilation, and it is also equipped with a blanket and a TV. It is a room that is usually reserved for leaders."
Upon hearing this, Ke Meiyu glanced at Qin Yuanjiu, whose expression was rather dull, and leaned closer to ask in a low voice, "Sister, is there only one bed in the double room? There aren't any single rooms or double rooms, are there?"
The receptionist smiled, pursed her lips, and leaned over to whisper in reply:
"Oh dear, I thought you were quite outgoing, so why are you suddenly so shy here?"
"Are you a couple and don't live together? We have single rooms and double rooms, but they don't have bathrooms. You have to go to the public bathroom to shower and use the toilet. In terms of comfort and hygiene, they are definitely not as good as the reserved rooms."
"Think about it, with so many people coming and going, what kind of people aren't there?"
"I made an exception for you two because I saw that you are both people of integrity."
"If you feel embarrassed, I can get you another room."
"Honestly, that room was a really great experience, perfect for newlyweds!"
Ke Meiyu gritted her teeth. On one hand, she was sharing a room with Qin Weiba, which was awkward and uncomfortable. On the other hand, she enjoyed a comfortable and clean experience.
“No need,” she refused outright.
Since she has the means to be particular, why should she compromise just to have one more person?
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Qin Yuanjiu's ambiguous smile, as if she were deliberately taking advantage of him!
After taking the key and saying hello to the front desk, they went to the innermost room on the third floor.
Opening the door, you'll find a semi-circular open-air balcony with rattan tables and chairs inside!
"I love it!" Ke Meiyu cheered softly, kicked off her shoes, and ran over onto the soft brown carpet.
Beige, intricate wallpaper, a large crystal chandelier, and a 14-inch television set placed on a chest of drawers.
A large, soft bed, a pair of fabric sofas, and a tin thermos and tea set on a wooden coffee table!
The bathroom is still quite modern with its wet and dry separation design; you could say that even by today's standards, this feature wouldn't be outdated.
Not to mention, a row of blooming chrysanthemums is placed on the balcony, filling the entire room with a faint fragrance.
She jumped around wildly, then sprawled on the bed in a starfish shape, saying pitifully, "Comrade Qin, I'm requisitioning this bed. You can go and book another one yourself."
Qin Yuanjiu put his things down, loosened his collar, and slowly approached the bed. "Comrade Ke, wasting resources is shameful. No one can monopolize a double room by themselves!"
“Since you can’t bear to leave this environment, we can ask for two single rooms or a double room.”
"Without me, you wouldn't even be qualified to live here. Isn't it really unfair of you to kick me while I'm down? Don't you have a conscience?"
By this point, he had already knelt on the bed, forcing Ke Meiyu to the head of the bed.
"What, what are you going to do? I, although I'm good-looking and have a great figure, I'm just a country girl, my mind is empty, I can't connect with you on any spiritual level..."
Qin Yuanjiu chuckled softly, reaching out to ruffle her hair. "Do you know what you look like right now?"
"What?"
"A terrified groundhog, all dumbfounded. What would you do if someone bullied you without me?" He gently lifted the person off the bed. "Let's go eat, or we'll have to wait in line later."
Ke Meiyu angrily banged her head against his chest, "Nobody can bully me!"
"I'm angry! I'll eat you out of house and home!"
Qin Yuanjiu raised an eyebrow. "Then you're quite capable."
They had just reached the first floor when they ran into Ke Yunyue and Huang Fangbin!
“The room at home is small, and I can’t bear to see you sleeping on the floor. Although the guesthouse costs three yuan a day, we can stay there more comfortably,” Huang Fangbin said gently, putting his arm around Ke Yunyue’s shoulder.
"We're going to eat at a state-run restaurant later, and I'll have to trouble you to pay. Don't worry, we're husband and wife, and I'll give you all my salary after I graduate from university."
"As you know, you're the village chief's daughter, and your household registration is in Luofeng Village. My mother was spoiled by her family since she was little, and she's very concerned about her image and likes to compare herself with the neighbors, but she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don't take what she says to heart!"
“I am her favorite son. If I marry you, she will definitely accept you as her daughter-in-law. However, she is an old woman and needs to be coaxed. So, I'm sorry to trouble you, A-Yue.”
He spoke with genuine sincerity, even though Ke Yunyue had chosen him out of spite.
But the young woman blushed and whispered after being coaxed like that, "I understand. If I were a city person, I would definitely make things difficult for my son if he married a country girl."
Huang Fangbin secretly held her hand with satisfaction, "You're such a good girl, I feel like marrying you right now."
"Ugh," Ke Yunyue glared at him playfully, "Let's hurry up and go, don't keep your family waiting."
They didn't even see Ke Meiyu and Qin Yuanjiu behind them.
After they left, the receptionist waved with a smile and asked gossipily, "Are they from the same place as you? I could tell the man's family isn't doing too well, and the woman seems a bit dim-witted."
"There's nothing we can do. They've taken a liking to me, and no amount of persuasion will change anything. I have to hit a brick wall myself."
Ke Meiyu shrugged helplessly.
"You guys should go eat, it's the busiest time of day right now."
After saying goodbye to the receptionist, Ke Meiyu and Qin Yuanjiu headed towards the state-run restaurant.
The restaurant was quite large, almost three times the size of any other restaurant in town, but even so, there were no empty tables.
"Hey, comrades, we've finished eating, come over here."
As soon as the two stepped inside, thanks to their striking good looks, someone who appreciates appearances made way for them, enthusiastically standing up to offer them a spot.
They were two couples, their eyes filled with goodwill and undisguised admiration, without any ulterior motives.
Ke Yunyue, Huang Fangbin, and a group of people were waiting at the door. Upon seeing this, they rushed forward to grab seats.
The guy who was obsessed with looks immediately sat down and said, "Excuse me, gentlemen, that's my friend."
Ke Yunyue glared at him, "Comrade, are you sure those are your friends? Do you know where they're from or what they do? Don't lie! They're from my hometown!"
Ke Meiyu chuckled and patted her shoulder, "Excuse me, comrade, may I pass by?"
As she spoke, she walked past Ke Yunyue and sat down in a chair with Qin Yuanjiu.
Ke Meiyu also enthusiastically took out some White Rabbit candies from her pocket and gave a handful to each of the two women.
