The two chatted and laughed all the way, and they hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.
When they were almost at the hotel, Han Dong suddenly pulled Su Ran aside and said, "There seem to be reporters ahead."
Su Ran followed his gaze and it seemed like it!
"Let's go and ignore them." Han Dong said.
"No, let's go separately."
"What does it matter? We are acting openly." Han Dong didn't want to be exposed last time because he was still on a mission and was afraid of bringing danger to Su Ran. Now the crisis has been resolved. Although his identity should not be exposed to the public, who made him find an actress as his girlfriend? He can hide for a while, but not forever. Let him be exposed. It doesn't matter.
"No, your mother rushed to my house the last time it was exposed. If it is exposed again, your mother will be even more dissatisfied with me. Besides, the relevant departments intervened last time because of a mission. They can't intervene all the time! Is that reasonable? It's better to be careful." Su Ran insisted.
She was from the entertainment industry and was used to being criticized. But Han Dong was different. A soldier was criticized by the public. Besides, could you guarantee that the comments were all praise? There were always some people in this world who were dark and cynical and would bite anyone they caught. She didn't want Han Dong to be scolded. It would have a bad influence.
Han Dong was helpless. These reporters were so omnipresent that they even came to Xinghai Country. As a public figure, he should be supervised, but he should also be given some breathing space!
"Oh, by the way, do you still live next door to me?" Su Ran asked.
"The room... should still be there!" Han Dong scratched his head, unwilling to tell the truth. Director Ni was really a fool. Why did he reserve a room for him? He no longer had a legitimate reason to go to Su Ran's place.
He didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to spend more time with his partner.
Su Ran said "Oh" with mixed feelings, not knowing whether to be happy or disappointed.
He had his own room, so she couldn't invite him to her place, let alone ask him to go to his place, as if she had some ulterior motive.
"Then let's split up and go back to our rooms. These people are very powerful. Maybe they have already installed cameras on the floor where I live." Su Ran felt relieved when she thought of this possibility. This way, she didn't have to worry about the two rooms.
Han Dong's eyes flickered: "You go first, I'll go over later."
Su Ran shook Han Dong's arm: "Hold me again."
Han Dong laughed, opened his arms and embraced her, then mischievously lifted her off the ground.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Su Ran asked with a smile.
"You said hug."
"I ate too much for dinner, and you're strangling me so tightly, I'm going to vomit."
Han Dong quickly put her down: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm leaving! We'll video chat on the phone later." Su Ran waved to him. If he didn't leave now, there was no telling how long the two of them would have to stay together.
Han Dong raised his chin and watched her walk towards the hotel. Sure enough, the reporter was taking pictures of Su Ran.
Han Dong let out a sullen breath and turned to walk in the opposite direction. He remembered that there was a pharmacy on the way here. Han Dong went to the pharmacy to buy stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets and a mask. When he returned to the hotel, the reporter was still there, but Han Dong wore a mask and deliberately coughed a few times. The reporter glanced at him and stayed a few steps away from him as if he was avoiding the plague.
Han Dong did not go directly to the elevator, but went to the front desk, took out his ID card, checked out, and then went to find the room manager. The room manager recognized Han Dong. The relevant department had to perform a special task here before, and the boss personally brought this person here. The room manager did not dare to neglect: "Mr. Han, is there anything I can help you with?"
Han Dong said: "The mission is not over yet. We need to ensure Miss Su Ran's safety during her stay in Fengyin City, so we still need your assistance."
The room manager was very friendly: "You tell us, we will fully cooperate."
"I want to see the information of the customers who checked in today on the 19th floor."
"Okay, right away." The housekeeping manager immediately retrieved the customer information.
Han Dong looked around and saw that there were only three guests staying on the 19th floor today. One of them, named Meng, was the reporter waiting outside the door. His room was at the end of the corridor, on the same side as Su Ran's room, five rooms away. If he installed a surveillance camera there, he would be able to see what was happening in front of Su Ran's door.
"Please ask your security guards to check if there are any surveillance cameras installed in the corridor on the 19th floor in violation of regulations, especially where Su Ran's room can be seen."
The room manager immediately asked the security guard to check.
Upon investigation, two miniature cameras were found.
The room manager broke out in a cold sweat: "Mr. Han is still alert. Should we call the police?"
"This is a violation of the regulations for installing surveillance cameras. Let's have someone investigate this tenant named Meng first! If he's not a bad guy, ask him to leave the hotel first. Oh, by the way, I saw this Mr. Meng when I came in. He should be in the hotel lobby now."
"Yes, yes, I'll do it right away." said the room manager hurriedly.
Not long after, Han Dong saw the man surnamed Meng being taken away by the security guard. He then leisurely went upstairs, packed his things in his room, and called Su Ran: "Ran Ran, open the door."
"What's wrong?" Su Ran had just finished taking a shower and was about to blow-dry her hair.
"Just open the door. Don't worry, I've asked the hotel to shut down the surveillance in the corridor."
"ah?"
Su Ran was stunned. Could it be done this way
Su Ran opened the door and let Han Dong in.
"Why are you still carrying a bag?"
Han Dong said seriously: "I feel more at ease if I protect you personally. Besides, you don't have to pay for the hotel. We can't waste national property, right?"
Su Ran: Uh…
Two very strong, very positive reasons that seemed... impossible to refuse.
Seeing her hair was wet and she was wearing a bathrobe, Han Dong's throat rolled involuntarily and his ears felt hot. He forced himself to look away and muttered, "Your hair is so wet and you don't know how to dry it."
As he said that, Han Dong went into the bathroom to get a towel.
Su Ran was speechless. Wasn’t I in a hurry to open the door for you
Han Dong came out with a towel and a hair dryer, looked at the plug, and said, "Sit here, I'll help you blow dry."
"No, I can do it myself."
Han Dong pointed at the sofa with the hair dryer.
Su Ran had no choice but to walk over and sit down. Han Dong took out a box of medicine from his pocket and gave it to her: "Take two pills first."
Su Ran took it and saw that it was a stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablet. He even went to buy medicine for her. Su Ran smiled and opened the medicine box, and put two digestion-promoting tablets in her mouth. It was as sweet as honey, and it was sweet all the way to her heart. Instructor Han is really considerate! It feels so good to be cared for.
Han Dong first used a towel to help her dry her hair, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into an almost imperceptible arc. The decision to check out was a wise one. If he was still foolish enough to stay in a room alone tonight, he would be a person worse than the beasts mentioned in the joke.
Thank you Chanmingxiayuyuyu and Chu Qianmo for the rewards!
