"Boss, feel free to call me anytime if you need something next time. I guarantee I'll be there whenever you need!"
After dropping off Li Jing at the inn's entrance, the driver, delighted with a fare of over a thousand yuan, couldn't help but eagerly shout after Li Jing's retreating figure.
Upon hearing the voice behind him, Li Jing waved his hand but his lips curled into a slight smile.
Because after his phone had just processed a payment of 1,150 yuan, he immediately received a refund of 11,500 yuan.
This system really gets more enjoyable the more you use it.
Back at the inn, as a VIP of the suite, Li Jing was invited to attend a music concert organized jointly by the inn and several other places in the old town.
The venue was an open-air space adorned with various flowers and artsy items, oozing with atmosphere.
Li Jing was invited to sit in the front row of the VIP section, surrounded by people of extraordinary taste and wealth.
The concert's program was quite rich, featuring not only hired folk singers but also some unique dance performances.
With the complimentary fruit platters and snacks from the inn, Li Jing watched with great interest, completely oblivious to a woman in the back rows observing him from afar.
"Li Jing? That guy really is rich to be able to sit in the front row."
He Mo, who had finally managed to grab a ticket, couldn't help but glance over at Li Jing from time to time after spotting him from her back-row seat.
Sitting in the middle of a row of wealthy middle-aged men, the young-looking and nonchalant Li Jing stood out noticeably.
Watching Li Jing snacking and casually crossing his legs, He Mo silently mocked, "This guy sure knows how to enjoy life…"
Thinking this, she impulsively took out her phone, zoomed in, and secretly took a picture of Li Jing, planning to draw it later.
The relaxed and carefree demeanor Li Jing always exuded never failed to strike a chord in He Mo's heart.
It wasn't because Li Jing was exceptionally handsome; rather, the vibe he radiated was precisely the lifestyle He Mo aspired to, so she wanted to capture Li Jing's carefree demeanor in her drawing.
That's also why He Mo always loved to sketch everything she found beautiful and delightful.
Unbeknownst to him that he was being secretly photographed, Li Jing returned to the inn after the concert.
During this time, He Mo tried to find him, but the exclusive passage provided by the inn to Li Jing gave her no chance to meet him.
Back in his spacious room, Li Jing's mind subconsciously conjured the scene from last night with Zhang Xinxin present.
"As expected, traveling alone is still too lonely. Such a big room without a beauty to accompany me is truly a waste."
After saying this, Li Jing suddenly regretted leaving Zhang Xinxin at home.
Although Zhang Xinxin could be clingy and flamboyant, her presence made the room lively.
He then shook his head, dismissing further thoughts, and headed to the bathroom for a shower. Exhausted from mountain climbing, he soon fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
At some unknown time, in the depths of the night,
as Li Jing lay asleep, he frowned slightly, feeling somewhat itchy yet indescribably comfortable.
It felt like someone's hands were gently caressing and roaming over his body.
In certain intimate places, he distinctly felt the special actions of those hands, bringing him so much comfort that he almost moaned.
"Could it be a spring dream from not releasing for too long?"
In a half-asleep daze, Li Jing half-opened his eyes and casually reached out to the side, encountering an inexplicable softness blocking his hand.
Confused, he squeezed, and then he heard a gentle whimper in the darkness.
What the heck!
The voice was soft, but Li Jing heard it clearly.
He abruptly opened his eyes, instantly alert, and was about to get up and turn on the light, only to be stopped by two slender arms. Then, a sultry voice whispered gently in his ear:
"Brother Jing, don't be afraid, it's me."
"Zhang Xinxin? How did you come back?!"
Startled, Li Jing nevertheless breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that she had the extra room card to get in; otherwise, he really would have thought he was being robbed.
But he quickly sensed the unusual atmosphere and immediately understood what that uncontrollable softness was.
Most importantly, he clearly felt direct contact with her skin, his blood surging as he exclaimed, "You wouldn't be…"
Feeling the change in Li Jing's body, Zhang Xinxin giggled softly in the darkness.
She then turned around, hugged Li Jing's neck tightly, and whispered, "Brother Jing, I've figured it out…
I came this time to tell you that you haven't yet tasted the special dish prepared just for you here."
"A special dish? What is it?" Just waking from sleep, Li Jing's mind was still slow to react.
With a slight curve of her lips, Zhang Xinxin softly breathed warmth into Li Jing's ear: "Of course, it's…
me~"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Jing's eyes widened, his mind flooded with heat as he shot up:
"Temptress! How dare you attack me at night, taste my mighty staff!"
......
Yesterday, after mountain climbing by day and toiling by night, Li Jing was utterly exhausted and slept till noon, with the radiant sunlight filtering in through the fluttering curtains in the spacious room.
Half-awake, Li Jing reached beside him, not touching the expected softness but instead finding a note still warm from his bedside.
With a change in expression, Li Jing woke up a bit more, curved his aching back, picked up the note, and frowned as he saw it was Zhang Xinxin's message.
"Brother Jing, my three-day vacation is over, and I have to go back to work tomorrow, so I have to leave first.
The past few days have been so much fun, and you don't need to worry about me. I'm still the Zhang Xinxin who pursues you, and you're still my idol Brother Jing. Love you."
Reading the words on the note, Li Jing's mind could even picture her lively and cheerful smile.
But he also understood her intentions. That sentence "I'm still the Zhang Xinxin who pursues you" clearly showed her stance after last night's madness.
She knew Li Jing couldn't easily agree to dating her, so she explicitly wrote she's still pursuing him, instead of assuming the role of a girlfriend, ensuring Li Jing wasn't mentally burdened.
"Silly girl."
Keeping the note, Li Jing pondered for a moment, then picked up his phone and immediately transferred 100,000 yuan to Zhang Xinxin with a message: "You did a great job as my private tour guide these three days. Here's your guide fee."
Just as he sent it, WeChat notified him that she received it and sent back a message: "Not only did I do a great job, but Brother Jing did a great job too."
Reading this, Li Jing's mind heated up, recalling last night's scenes again, and he couldn't help but curse, "Vixen, vixen indeed… No, I can't keep talking with her. I need to go to the restaurant at noon for a proper meal."
As Li Jing stepped off the bed, the system's voice echoed in his mind:
[Spend 100,000 yuan, enjoy the service of a beautiful and capable private tour guide, positive emotion rating three stars. Refund 3 million yuan.]
"What the heck?!!"
Feeling somewhat weak, Li Jing suddenly straightened his body upon seeing the system message, exclaiming in surprise and joy, "Is this really happening?!"
Upon confirming that his mobile bank received a 3 million deposit, Li Jing couldn't help taking a deep breath, feeling completely invigorated as he shouted toward the window:
"Awesome!!"
Meanwhile, hearing this, the guest in the next room, with two dark circles under his eyes, threw back the covers in frustration and cursed:
"Is the guy in the suite next door outrageous or what?
Going non-stop all night long was one thing, but continuing in the morning, then even shouting 'awesome' at noon. Do you have to let the whole world know how awesome you were last night? Can't you think of us in the adjacent rooms?
I just want to get some sleep, is that too much to ask?!
...
Meanwhile, on a second-class seat of the high-speed train.
Gazing out at the scenery in some melancholy, Zhang Xinxin's eyes lit up upon receiving the 100,000 transfer, suddenly brimming with energy as she raised her hand to call out to the approaching steward:
"Are there any empty seats in business class? I want to upgrade!"
