"Oh, it was really kind of you to co and pick us up, we do apologize."
The two foreign businessn politely bowed to Lin Nianhe and watched her drive away.
Li Dahe rubbed his pipe and whispered to Wong Xiao, "Just ssing things up every day, if they were really sorry, one of them should just die to apologize."
Wong Xiao sneered, "If they really died, that would be too easy on them."
Translation: "The gentlen are welcoming you."
"Oh, oh, thank you very much!"
...
Lin Nianhe sped all the way back to the hotel, without any extra words, she smoothly got the room key.
Sie Yufei had already booked a room and gone to catch up on sleep, while she busied herself alone in her room for nearly two hours, arranging everything that needed to be set up.
Looking at the room that seed unchanged from before, Lin Nianhe wiped the sweat off her brow and softly remarked, "Thank goodness for technological advancents... Sensors are really sothing."
...
The two foreign businessn, sleepless and frightened all night, were tirelessly led by the kind and enthusiastic Li and Wong, climbing up and down the mountain the whole day.
Not having done any physical work before, their legs were trembling like jelly by the ti they finished.
It was already completely dark when they returned to the hotel, making them feel dizzy and too exhausted to bother with dinner.
"Phew... I’m gonna take a shower..."
After resting for a while, one of them struggled with his sore back and got up to head to the shower room.
The hot water gushed, steam enveloped the room, seemingly able to wash away most of the fatigue.
"Phew..."
He had just started to relax, wiping away the water droplets from his face, when suddenly he let out a scream so horrifying it didn’t seem human.
"Ah—"
The other, almost asleep, bounced from the bed and rushed to the shower, using both his hands and feet.
In the midst of the steam, there was a bloody sentence written in Chinese on the mirror, unrecognizable to them.
The edges of the mirror also had red sars spreading.
Just then, the lights in the room flickered and then went out, following by a low, sobbing-like laugh from a woman.
Or perhaps it was crying, it’s hard to tell.
"Ahhhh—"
"Help, help!"
This ti, they didn’t even notice the corridor lights had gone dark at so point, as they rolled and scrambled downstairs straight to the hotel front desk.
"Help!"
"There’s, there’s, there’s..."
The receptionist smiled at them: "What are you babbling?"
They were incoherent, especially since the translator wasn’t around, so even if they scread their lungs out, they couldn’t communicate properly.
The receptionist adhered to the principle of listening seriously but refusing to act, allowing them to go crazy in the lobby.
She wasn’t worried about much; the other guests at the hotel had been politely moved to the textile factory’s guesthouse for the night during the day, leaving the hotel with only these two guests who could make as much fuss as they wanted.
The two foreign businessn, sleepless last night and physically exhausted from climbing all day, found themselves utterly exhausted, terrified and grabbing each other’s cold hands trying to find a sense of comfort.
However, there was none.
Instead of boosting courage, two extrely frightened people coming together resulted in a negative effect, worse than expected.
Neither dared to sleep, staring wide-eyed, passing the ti awake, awake, awake...
Suddenly, one clutched his chest in extre pain and slid to the ground, falling asleep abruptly and becoming unresponsive.
...
"Xiao He, do you think he might die here?"
In the hospital, Wong Xiao furrowed his brows, rubbing his hands, unable to tell if he was worried about him dying or hoping he wouldn’t.
Lin Nianhe held a stack of paper, looked at Wong Xiao for a mont, and responded righteously, "If you really want, I can go and pull the switch."
After a pause, she added, "I asked when I ca if there were other patients who need electricity."
Wong Xiao: "...?"
Whether he’s particularly eager isn’t important, what’s crucial is...
You’ve looked into such things in advance, were you anticipating today for a while now?
Lin Nianhe clutched the pen eagerly: "Uncle, just tell if we should do it or not. It’s not the first ’blackout,’ anyway!"
She was already perched at the edge of her seat, seemingly ready to dash off to pull the switch if Wong Xiao nodded.
