The rest of the flight was uneventful and it touched down Guangzhou three hours later. Jin grimaced, not wanting to see Shui's neighbor again. But there he was laughing with her as if they had known each other for years.
Shui felt lant upon bidding him goodbye. "It was really fun talking to you. Is Guangzhou your ho city?"
"Hm not really~ My ho is very far away. I just ca here to have so fun with a certain soone."
Jin sent a deadly and hostile glare his way, who was definitely enjoying his misery.
All these people are sadists! Spying on as if I am so criminal!
Jin had enough and he grabbed Shui's hand. "Let's go already."
"Wait, let us at least invite him for lunch, you know."
"As if! We are going to the hotel!"
The man chuckled at Jin's full hostility on full display as he stord his way out with Shui.
"What do you think is going to happen on this trip?"
He didn't have to glance at his side to know that an elderly woman was standing beside him. She held a similar calm countenance as him.
"Whatever it will be, it will challenge his limits for sure~ Whether it's the proximity with that girl, his promise to keep himself away from her or…sothing else that will threaten to completely break him apart, he will have to find a way to pull himself out of that marsh. He needs to achieve his freedom and that girl is an important key to unlock it. I just wanted to let her know what is coming," his eyes twinkled.
—
Stuffing his suitcase near the entrance, Jin took off his shoes and collapsed on the warm, fluffy bed. He let the fluffiness of the mattress seep into his shoulders and dissipate the burdenso feeling out of them. It was just a three hour flight and this was just the beginning of the trip, but he already felt drained as if sobody had just sapped out his vitality.
He put his arm over his eyes and released a tired sigh.
I want to go ho…
A few long minutes later, he jumped on his feet to take a quick hot shower. As he stepped out of the steamy bathroom, he saw the ti on his watch. It was past three-thirty in the afternoon and past the ti for lunch.
But he was starving and so he thought of grabbing a quick lunch from a nearby restaurant. He put on a fresh set of clothes and went out to knock on the door of Shui's room. But he stopped himself just before the knock.
I thought of inviting her out to lunch but…it's better if I just bring takeaways with . She will eat in her room, I will eat in mine. I will be able to avoid her that way.
He took a step away but the door opened just then and Shui stepped out as well, all showered and freshened up. She was surprised to see Jin in front of her room. "Were you here to call for lunch?"
Jin clearer his throat. "No. My legs felt stiff so I am just out for a walk-"
His stomach grumbled with hunger at the sa ti, making him curse the timing.
"Hah! Just what I thought. You are going out for lunch, but you must have suddenly thought that it wouldn't be so wise to call anymore," she sneered. "Aren't you such a gentleman?"
His gaze darkened. "For your kind information, I was going to bring a takeaway for you too. I am not so heartless."
"Oh let's not talk about your heartlessness which wanted to stay far away from you in the flight as if I was so deadly virus. Oh how pleasant I felt."
His brow twitched.
"So to compensate for the pleasantness you showered on , we will be having lunch together. No takeaways."
He shot a glare at her. "We just have to work on the presentation together. That doesn't an we have to hang around next to each other for the rest of the trip too."
Shui raised her brow. "I see. I might as well then invite the handso man from the flight."
"..."
"What?"
"The handso palm-reading guy."
He stared at her dumbfounded.
"You already forgot? My handso neighbor who-"
"You don't have to keep emphasizing on his handsoness," eyes are failing you. He wasn't that of a pretty face," he scorned.
She snickered. "At least he was that much of a gentleman than you gnashing his jaw, Jin expressed his deep resentnt for that otherworldly entity whose only motivation was to harass him. "Your eyes are failing you. He wasn't that of a pretty face," he scorned.
She snickered. "At least he was that much of a gentleman than you who thought of going for lunch all by himself."
"I wasn't going to keep you hungry."
"You were going to keep lonely. Doesn't matter. We exchanged numbers on the flight~ I don't have to rely on you for company."
His countenance twisted in the darkest shade of black. He grabbed her phone, stopping her from dropping any such ssage to that annoying creature who frustrated the living hell out of him.
"Fine! Let's have lunch together. It won't be that long anyway."
He shoved the phone back into her hands and with a furious stream of steam escaping his ears, he stomped hard on the floor, expressing the resentnt of his failed plans.
Shui locked her room's door and followed him, silently chuckling to herself and simultaneously typing out a ssage.
'It actually worked, Master Ai! He agreed for the lunch~'
A notification popped up a minute later which turned out to be Ai's reply.
'Ho ho ho~ I knew it. Jin would be too weak to challenge this threat. Even if he wants to stay away from you, he wouldn't be able to bear the presence of a next man beside you."
'Hehe~ You should have seen him on the flight. He was so cute giving him death stares.'
'*Nods* Jun exhibits similar cuteness. That's why these are sure shot thods to work on Jin too.'
Ai's lips held a scheming grin when a deep, low voice rang in her ear from the back. "What sure shot thods are you talking about, my dear fiance? Please let in too."
She froze and very slowly turned her head to find Jun smiling a not so friendly smile. "What are you up to, Ai?"
