The Man Who Appears Once a Year

Chapter 58

Views:

Yu Huan's tone and demeanor were obviously gentle and considerate, but Ruan Qiuping felt as if a draught passed through his body, piercing through his heart, and instantly felt empty and floating.

Yu Huan still held his hand and said, "Ruan Ruan, let's go. They will wake up soon. It might not be appropriate for us to stay any longer."

Ruan Qiuping was unconsciously led forward by Yu Huan until the two rings tightly clenched in his palms hurt him, and he came to his senses.

Ruan Qiuping looked at Yu Huan's profile and asked with some difficulty: "...Ring, when did you find it?"

"I just saw it." Yu Huan paused, "Your mother's trick of deceiving the eyes is superb. If it weren't for the flames that counteract its properties, I wouldn't have discovered it so quickly."

Ruan Qiuping: "...My mother?"

Ruan Qiu calmed down for two seconds and asked again: "Are you sure... it was my mother who cast a spell on my hand?"

Yu Huan: "Doesn't Ruan Ruan know?"

Ruan Qiuping shook his head.

Yu Huan lowered his eyes: "Perhaps your mother felt that Ruan Ruan's own tricks were not proficient enough, so she secretly added a little insurance for you."

Yu Huan turned to look at Ruan Qiuping, and said in a gentle tone: "Auntie, you have actually thought about it. I am not a petty person. I will not care about Ruan Ruan's past like that."

Ruan Qiuping looked at Yu Huan's gentle face and suddenly remembered that he forgot to wear his ring when he came down to earth one day. Yu Huan also said to him with a similar expression: "Ruan Ruan, if it is inconvenient to wear the ring in heaven, then don't wear it."

When he met him the next year, the first thing Yu Huan did was to hold his hand and check if he was wearing a ring.

Ruan Qiuping could see the strong sense of concern in Yu Huan's calm tone at the first glance, but now, looking at Yu Huan's calm face, she was a little unsure of what this man was really thinking.

From Yu Huan's perspective, not only did Ruan Qiuping lie to him that her "ex-husband" was a "good friend", she also tried to use magic to cover up all traces of the "ex-husband's" existence.

Even if he and Yu Huan had no emotional foundation, they were a couple who were about to get married. Such deception was really too much, and it would be unacceptable to just ask a passerby to judge.

If Yu Huan is not angry, he has a broad mind.

It is reasonable for Yu Huan to be angry.

Thinking of this, Ruan Qiuping couldn't help but lower his head and apologize: "... I'm sorry."

"Ruan Ruan's mission has been completed. When are you going to leave?" Yu Huan changed the subject.

Ruan Qiuping was unsure whether Yu Huan meant to rush him to leave earlier, so he asked tentatively: "... When do you think I should leave?"

"Let's go back tomorrow afternoon." Yu Huan said, "I have something I want to do with Ruan Ruan tomorrow."

Ruan Qiuping nodded: "Okay."

This is not a busy area, so Ruan Qiuping and Yu Huan searched for nearly half an hour before they found a hotel. Fortunately, the hotel seemed very quiet.

"Ruan Ruan, give me your ID card." Yu Huan stretched out his hand towards Ruan Qiuping.

Ruan Qiuping took out the ID card issued by Fuhuamen from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Yu Huan.

Yu Huan walked to the counter and handed over two ID cards: "Two rooms."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The receptionist took the ID card and lowered her head to start working on the computer.

A minute later, the receptionist looked at the message that popped up on the computer with a somewhat surprised expression, but she quickly calmed down and said to Ruan Qiuping with a sweet smile: "Hello, Mr. Ruan, I would like to congratulate you first. Our hotel has a hidden rule that all male customers named Ruan Qiuping and aged between 24 and 25 years old can enjoy free consumption in our hotel. However, I would like to trouble you to keep this hidden rule confidential. I will check you in to the presidential suite for free."

…free of charge

Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment.

However, when he saw the four words "Guilai Hotel" on the wall, he understood the reason.

Yu Huan turned and glanced at Ruan Qiuping.

Ruan Qiuping hesitated for a moment and explained to him in a low voice: "This is... the hotel that that person founded before his death."

Yu Huan was silent for a moment. He glanced at the four characters "Guilai Hotel" on the wall, then turned to look at the receptionist and asked in a light voice, "Excuse me, are there any other hotels nearby?"

The receptionist was somewhat shocked by Yu Huan's reaction. She was already surprised enough to have a rare guest who stayed for free, but she didn't expect that this person's companion would give up this opportunity.

Even so, she still said very professionally: "Hello, sir, this place is quite remote, and we are the only hotel within 10 kilometers."

That's right, it's 10 kilometers away.

"Excuse me." Yu Huan picked up his ID card on the counter and nodded to apologize to the receptionist.

Putting away his ID card, Yu Huan said to Ruan Qiuping: "Rest here first, I will pick you up tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

Ruan Qiuping: “…”

Who was it that just said, "I'm not a stingy person, I won't think about Ruan Ruan's past like that" Who? !

Ruan Qiuping picked up his ID card, apologized to the front desk, and then chased after him helplessly: "Yu Huan, wait for me."

Yu Huan stopped only after he walked 10 meters out of the hotel.

He turned to look at Ruan Qiuping who had caught up with him and asked calmly, "Why don't you stay in that hotel?"

Ruan Qiuping looked up at him and asked, "Why don't you stay here?"

Yu Huan's expression remained calm: "I don't like hotels that have a corporate culture that smacks of favoritism. This makes me deeply doubt their service attitude and level."

Ruan Qiuping: “…”

If he remembered correctly, this morning they had a detailed discussion about the favoritism of a new assistant coach.

10 kilometers is not a short distance. Yu Huan and Ruan Qiuping walked for a long time, then used instant teleportation in an unnoticed corner, and finally found a hotel with a decent environment near a busy city.

However…

"Sir, I'm sorry, we only have one room left, but it's a standard twin room. Why don't you two make do with it?"

Yu Huan frowned and asked, "Excuse me, are there any other hotels nearby?"

"Yes, we do. After all, this place is quite prosperous. The others are all small hotels. We are the only regular hotel with a good environment."

Seeing Yu Huan preparing to take his ID card and leave, Ruan Qiuping sighed and stopped him: "That's it. If you keep looking, it will be dawn."

Ruan Qiuping paused for a moment and couldn't help but teasing: "Besides, it's a twin bed room, are you afraid that I will eat you..."

Looking at Yu Huan's eyes as calm as an ancient well, Ruan Qiuping touched his nose and swallowed the rest of the joke.

"... Twin bed room?" Yu Huan frowned as he looked at the twin beds in the room.

"Let me ask." Ruan Qiuping walked to the bedside and started calling the front desk.

After hanging up the phone, Ruan Qiuping said to Yu Huan: "The person at the front desk just made a mistake. The only room left in this hotel is a double bed room, not a twin bed room."

It seems that a certain immortal who pays great attention to hotel corporate culture, found a hotel with great difficulty, but the service quality is not that good.

Yu Huan frowned slightly.

Ruan Qiuping asked: "Do we need to change hotels again?"

Yu Huan was silent for a while, then said, "Forget it."

Ruan Qiuping had never been a talkative person in front of Yu Huan, but now that Yu Huan had become indifferent and taciturn, Ruan Qiuping could not help but talk to him.

Ruan Qiuping blinked and smiled: "Is this the first time that Ji Xiao has encountered such a thing? Before the fate was sealed, I'm afraid he had never encountered such a mistake."

"Fortunately, it's not that bad." Yu Huan paused, turned his head and looked into Ruan Qiuping's eyes, his voice steady and calm, "Ruan Ruan and I are an unmarried couple. Although we don't have any emotional foundation, there's nothing wrong with sleeping in the same bed. I originally insisted on having two rooms and two beds, but it was only because I considered that Ruan Ruan had someone in her heart and couldn't accept having someone else by her pillow."

Ruan Qiuping lowered his head and muttered softly: You don’t have to keep emphasizing that we have no emotional foundation...

"What is Ruan Ruan doing?"

"Nothing." Ruan Qiuping asked, "Do you want to take a shower first?"

"I'm not used to bathing in strange places, so I can just use the Dust Removal Technique. Does Ruan Ruan need it?"

Ruan Qiuping thought about it and felt that he was really tired today and didn't have the energy to wash, so he said: "Then please trouble Ji Xiao to help me with the dust removal technique as well."

Yu Huan used the dust removal technique on the two of them, and then used magic to clean and disinfect the entire room. He then took off his coat and lay down on the bed with his clothes on: "Ruan Ruan, good night."

Ruan Qiuping also climbed onto the bed: "Good night."

After turning off the lights, the whole room fell into darkness.

Only the sounds of their breathing could be heard.

Ruan Qiuping suddenly felt that he had made a wrong judgment just now. He should not have let Yu Huan help him with the dust removal technique. He should have gone to the bathroom to take a shower, bathing for two or three hours until Yu Huan fell asleep, and then quietly lay down on the bed.

Now that Yu Huan was awake, he could clearly count the breathing frequencies of the two people in the air... Such a bad thing happened again today, how could he still sleep

Ruan Qiuping turned over gently and looked at Yu Huan quietly.

Yu Huan lay flat on the bed with his eyes closed. His body was pressed against the edge of the bed, and there was enough space between him and Ruan Qiuping for another person to fit.

"Yu Huan, I can't sleep." Ruan Qiuping whispered.

Yu Huan ignored him.

But Ruan Qiuping knew that Yu Huan did not sleep.

Ruan Qiuping tossed and turned in bed for a while, trying to choose a sleeping position, but still couldn't fall asleep.

Finally, she lay on her side on the bed, looking at Yu Huan's clear profile in the dark, and asked, "Yu Huan, you have something to do with me tomorrow, what is it?"

Yu Huan didn't answer for a long time.

Just when Ruan Qiuping suspected that Yu Huan had fallen asleep and was about to turn over and continue sleeping, Yu Huan spoke.

“Buying a wedding ring.”

Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and after a long time he blinked and said, "...Oh."

The air was quiet for a while.

Yu Huancai slowly opened his eyes again, looking at the flickering lights on the ceiling, and said, "Ruan Ruan, don't worry about it. It's just that in recent years, weddings in heaven have added such a ceremony. Although you and I are just nominal partners, we should do what we should do well, so as not to cause gossip."

Yu Huan waited for a long time but got no response.

He just waited until Ruan Qiuping naturally stretched out his leg and put it on him.

Yu Huan turned his head and looked.

All he could hear was Ruan Qiuping's breathing, steady and long, which meant he had fallen asleep.

Yu Huan: “…”

… You fall asleep quickly.

Who couldn't sleep just now

Yu Huan lowered his eyes, put down Ruan Qiuping's leg that was on him, stood up and went to the bathroom.

Turn on the lights and run the water.

Yu Huan scooped up a handful of clean water and washed his face.

He looked up at the mirror. The man in the mirror no longer had the gentle and indifferent look he had in public.

Drops of water flowed down his forehead, almost tearing through the entire mask of hypocritical calmness. Under that mask was a loser with cold eyes and a heart full of jealousy and gnashing of teeth.

Yu Huan lowered his eyes and quickly concealed the emotions in them.

He slowly turned on the tap.

Then, on the clean and tidy sink, I saw a small sign with an introduction to the hotel.

"Xiangshou Hotel, a light luxury hotel under Guilai Group, brings you the best service experience."

The next second, someone turned off the faucet in the hotel.
