The Forester left the airport and drove less than ten kilometers before it got off the overpass and entered a tree-lined community.
Wang An kept muttering that there were too few hotels here, all concentrated in the city, and ridiculously expensive. Fortunately, he had read the guide in advance and found a cheap B&B, etc., which made the salted fish stare blankly.
He never thought about these things before going out. He just called the local star-rated hotel to make an appointment. Besides, the B&B Wang An chose was too "suburban", almost out of Melbourne. The only advantage was that it was cheap.
Passing by rows of beautiful Australian-style houses, Wang An pointed to the east block and said there was a Chinese restaurant over there, the food was pretty good. The main thing was that the owners were all Chinese and the prices were fair. There was also a gym across the block, so I could go there to do some strength training or something.
Gu Laosan opened his mouth slightly, looking a little daydreamy, while Wang Ping squinted his eyes and looked at Wang An, no one knew what was in his mind.
Both the man and the badger noticed that Wang An's behavior seemed a little different this time. Wang Ping felt a little worse, after all, his sister had always been like this, but she didn't talk as much as she does now.
Gu Laosan felt it most clearly, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was impressed. If Wang An had completely locked himself behind a mask before, now he seemed to have consciously taken off part of the mask in front of him.
Of course, even if he beat Wang Ping to death, Gu Laosan could not have imagined that Wang An wanted to cut the Gordian knot and make that lazy guy quickly realize his "Cinderella" nature.
At first, Wang An only treated someone as a client (a fat sheep), and he always acted professionally and aggressively. Later, when Gu Lang showed his affection and pursuit, he began to restrain himself and became a little lukewarm.
However, inexplicably, she met Gu Ma in the middle of the journey, which made Wang An begin to examine her relationship with Gu Lang from the heart. She received the long-lost maternal love from Gu Ma and even became addicted to it. But she was afraid that Gu Ma was only so kind to her because of her son.
After thinking for a long time, before leaving, someone suddenly let go after hearing Gu Ma's promise. This time, he showed his daily personality and habits to Gu Lang. If he didn't accept it, that would be the best. He would be happy to have another godmother.
If he could accept it... Wang An subconsciously felt that it was unlikely. Based on her understanding of a certain salted fish, this guy might have a tendency to be "receptive". At first, he was just attracted by her professional quality and strong personality. When he really understood her, he would definitely not accept that his "goddess" was a guy who could argue with a grocery shopping aunt for half an hour.
The car stopped in front of a three-story house with a swimming pool. When Gu Lang took the backpack out of the trunk, Wang An suddenly grabbed a badger that had just climbed onto someone's shoulder and said quietly with his back to the courtyard, "Hurry up and open the bag!"
"Ah?" Gu Laosan was surprised and didn't understand what was going on.
Wang Pingmao, whose neck was pinched, began to struggle unhappily. Before he could shake off Wang An's hand, she took a step forward, opened the backpack in Gu Lang's hand, and stuffed a badger's head into it.
"Pets are not allowed in this homestay! Be quiet and don't get discovered!" Wang An whispered while stuffing the food in his mouth.
The badger who was about to stand up and lose his temper suddenly froze and looked at Wang An blankly, only to find that his sister's expression was very serious and she didn't look like she was joking at all.
"Very good! This is very Wang An!"
The badger retracted its claws and squatted quietly inside, allowing Wang An to buckle the backpack. Based on his experience, it was best not to argue with Wang An at this time, otherwise he might really get beaten.
Gu Laosan seemed to have not reacted yet, obviously he had never experienced this before. According to the previous practices of a certain salted fish, if the boss does not allow pets to enter the store, it is too simple, just use money to throw money at him until he agrees. If the boss is principled and not moved by money, then change to another store. This kind of "secret" behavior is the first time.
Being pulled by Wang An's arm, he walked in with a look of trepidation on his face, his steps were a little stiff. After passing the lobby on the first floor that was converted into a reception desk, he continued to walk in with his head down, and then Wang An pulled him back by the arm.
"Hi, Ai Mubaike~" He first waved to the friendly-looking white lady at the front desk, then pushed Gu Laosan forward and said, "I have booked a room for you. Hurry up and take your passport to register!"
"Oh... but..."
Gu Laosan looked nervous. He responded with his mouth, but his hand tightly grasped the backpack containing the badger. He said to Wang An in a low voice: "The passport is in this bag... How can I take it..."
"Oh! Get out of here! Stop dilly-dallying!"
Wang An rolled his eyes, snatched the bag from someone's hand, pushed him aside, then turned his back in front of the aunt at the front desk, lifted up the backpack, pushed the badger inside aside and started searching.
"Uh, in that black handbag..." Gu Laosan reminded from the side, and at the end, he smiled awkwardly to the white aunt behind the front desk, who shrugged sympathetically.
"Here~" Wang An grabbed the black handbag that a badger handed over to him attentively and threw it to Gu Laosan. Then he pressed the badger's head and pushed it in twice before he closed the backpack and held it in his hand.
"ok~"
A certain white lady shook her head, not knowing what she was sighing about. She quickly put someone's information into the computer and then handed a key to the lazy person.
"Eh? Isn't it a room card? Which floor is this on? Is there a bathtub in the bathroom? Is there a balcony?"
Before Gu Laosan could say more, Wang An pushed him towards the stairs.
"Why are you so fussy? Just being able to take a shower is enough! It's just a place to sleep!"
"But… "
A salty fish was about to say that he didn't care, but the boss had very high requirements for the quality of life... Badger. However, he suddenly remembered that pets were not allowed in this place, so he looked constipated and stopped talking.
"But what buts!" Wang An dragged him up the stairs, saying contemptuously, "Why do you have so many bad habits! When we go to the Grampians in a few days, you'll be sleeping in a tent every day!"
"Tsk~ I mean..."
Without waiting for Gu Laosan to find a chance to explain, Wang An had already dragged him to the second floor and pushed him into the second room at the corner, which had its door half-open. Then he clapped his hands, took out the key from his pocket, and opened the room opposite.
Unlike what Gu Lang had imagined, the room was bright and clean, and the layout was similar to that of a budget hotel. However, there was no power trough, so hot water and electricity were centrally supplied. From the window of the room, one could see the sparkling water of the swimming pool behind.
“That’s right!”
The door behind him was suddenly pushed open again, and Wang An stretched his neck to come in and urged: "If you want to take a shower, hurry up, or just wait until the evening. Put your things away quickly, we'll go eat first!"
After saying that, he slammed the door shut again.
Gu Laosan, who was standing with his hands on his hips and looking out the window, turned around and looked at Wang Ping, who had just climbed out of the backpack. Suddenly, he felt like he was being arranged.
In the opposite room, a girl sat on the edge of the bed, rummaging through her purse to take out the Australian dollars she had exchanged, and counting them with a distressed look on her face.
"Damn it, it only costs this much for one day, the cost is so high..."
