Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?
Chapter 291: I’m Sleeping Here TonightTL: Etude Translations
“Achoo—!”
In a banquet hall of the Kebin International Hotel, Jiang Qin had been sneezing continuously since the beginning of the meal. His arm hair stood on end, and he felt an inexplicable sense of being watched, which started to make his heart race.
What’s going on? Did I drop some money?
Jiang Qin looked around but didn’t find even a half a penny.
As the dinner drew to a close, Wei Lanlan came over with a stack of room cards: “Boss, the owner of Kangbona has already prepared rooms for us in advance.”
“Then let’s go. Let’s sleep in this star-rated hotel’s bed and see if I can dream about becoming the world’s richest man.”
Jiang Qin waved his hand and led his group to the hotel’s top floor via the elevator.
When the people of Room 208 looked through the glass at the Oriental Pearl Tower under the night sky and the Huangpu River illuminated in colorful lights, the exclamations of awe were endless.
Seeing this, Jiang Qin felt a mix of emotions.For real capitalists, social resources are like free tap water, and this is no empty talk.
Having enough status, reputation, connections, everything seems to go smoothly. You’re surrounded by friends, and nothing bad ever happens.
But if you have nothing, what can you do if you lose your luggage? Even if you’re furious, aren’t you still forced to compromise?
So, whether the world is beautiful or not, it doesn’t have so many objective attributes. The world doesn’t even know what you’re doing, so how could it target you?
The reason why some feel the world is beautiful and others find it cruel is merely due to the unfair distribution of resources.
When 20% of the people hold 80% of the resources, the remaining 80% naturally share 80% of life’s hardships and soul-wearying burdens.
“Little rich lady, if your family knows I took you out for a trip, will they kill me?”
Feng Nanshu looked at him blankly: “I made a good friend, why would they kill you?”
Jiang Qin was momentarily speechless: “Right, you’re absolutely right, we’re just good friends, pure and simple.”
“Jiang Qin, your pure and simple good friend wants to go watch TV in your room.”
“You’ve been running around with me all day, aren’t you tired? You still want to watch TV?”
Feng Nanshu squinted her eyes, looking like a cute, silly cat: “Look, because I don’t feel tired at all.”
Jiang Qin had no choice but to take her back to his suite, only to find that the room had two bedrooms, one larger, one smaller, and a living room with a home theater. ℝÀꞐ∅฿Ës
“Was that phone call you made to your aunt?” Jiang Qin placed their suitcases in the entryway.
Feng Nanshu nodded: “My aunt is a good person.”
“Then she already knows you’re in Shanghai, isn’t she coming to pick you up?”
“I don’t want her to come, but she might sneak over. When that happens, just take me and run away.”
Sitting on the sofa, Jiang Qin fell into deep thought because of this back-and-forth conversation.
Uncle Gong once said outside Hongrong Homes that their little rich lady was very smart and knew who treated her well and who didn’t. But the little rich lady always seemed resistant to her family, except for this aunt.
That means, among the Feng family, the aunt was the kindest to her.
But for some reason, even facing this aunt, Feng Nanshu didn’t show enough warmth.
Despite her cold exterior, she was a clingy cutie at heart; otherwise, she wouldn’t want to be held every day, snuggling in his arms and not wanting to leave.
This resistance stemmed from the Feng family’s inability to give her a sense of security, including her aunt.
“Jiang Qin, I want to sleep here tonight.” Feng Nanshu suddenly pointed to the second bedroom.
Jiang Qin snapped back to reality: “If you sleep here, aren’t we wasting a room?”
“But this room is free.”
“Fair enough. Then you go take a shower first, then I’ll go. After that, I’ll watch TV with you, then I’ll go to the second bedroom, and you to the master bedroom. We’ll each sleep separately.”
Feng Nanshu seemed pleased with this arrangement, her eyes twinkling with joy. She then took her change of clothes from her suitcase, kicked off her shoes, and headed to the bathroom.
Hearing the sound of water from the bathroom, Jiang Qin couldn’t help but hiss, thinking to himself that he was screwed, as images started to form in his mind.
Young people today really can’t withstand temptation; just hearing someone shower seems enough to eat three bowls of rice.
Jiang Qin picked up a cushion to cover his legs and grabbed the remote, turning up the TV volume.
After a while, Feng Nanshu came out in the hotel’s white bathrobe, her hair half-dried, and sat on the sofa, kicking off her slippers. Her delicate, snow-white feet rested on the couch.
“I’m done, Jiang Qin. It’s your turn.”
“You can’t just say that out of the blue. Some upright gentlemen would find it hard to sleep at night.”
Mumbling to himself, Jiang Qin took his change of clothes and headed to the bathroom. As soon as he undressed, he saw a cute little tiger and lacy underwear in the laundry basket.
The little rich lady was completely unguarded around him. He took a deep breath, showered furiously, and returned to the living room sofa.
Feng Nanshu had already changed into her pajamas, her gentle gaze fixed on the TV, which was playing “My Fair Princess,” her feet gently swaying.
“Little rich lady, I know magic. I can turn white into black, do you believe me?”
“Jiang Qin, you’re trying to trick me.” Feng Nanshu was clever as ever.
Jiang Qin couldn’t help but smile: “If you don’t believe me, stretch your feet over here. I only need an hour to do it. If I can’t, I’ll buy you something tasty tomorrow.”
After pondering for a moment, the little rich lady extended her feet into his lap: “Don’t make them too black.”
“Okay, let’s watch TV first. In an hour, we’ll witness the miracle.”
“Okay.”
Feng Nanshu obediently began watching TV. An hour later, she looked at her feet, her tender toes wiggling slightly, her eyes filled with confusion: “Jiang Qin, they’re still white.”
“You caught me. I really can’t do it. I’ll buy you something tasty tomorrow,” Jiang Qin said calmly.
“?”
After a moment, Feng Nanshu realized she had been tricked and gave him a playful punch.
Jiang Qin laughed to himself, thinking how easy it was to fool this silly girl, who even believed in magic.
…
After a day of toil and hustle, coupled with several hours of discussion with the manager of Kangbona Hotel, Jiang Qin now felt utterly exhausted.
The sofa in the suite was quite comfortable, inducing a drowsy feeling, but he knew he wouldn’t rest well unless he slept in a bed.
Jiang Qin picked up the remote: “Enough, let’s go back to sleep. We still have to go out tomorrow.”
“But I can’t move anymore,” Feng Nanshu said pitifully.
“Weren’t you saying you weren’t tired at all?”
“I’m a bit tired now. I need to be carried back.”
“…”
“Little rich lady, I’ve discovered that you’re always on the verge of having children.”
Feng Nanshu opened her mouth, looking bewildered and uncomprehending.
Meanwhile, Jiang Qin bent down, lifting the fragrant and soft little rich lady from the sofa. She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, her sleepy eyes clingy, showing none of the aloofness typical of a wealthy beauty.
After settling Feng Nanshu in bed, he returned to his room and quickly fell asleep, faster than ever.
The next morning, the brilliant sunshine streamed through the window, revealing a clear, cloudless blue sky outside.
Waking up from his sleep, Jiang Qin stretched and sat up, only to find the pajama-clad little rich lady lying at the foot of his bed, her long legs curled up, sleeping soundly.
He was slightly startled and tiptoed over, staring at her peaceful sleeping face for a long time. Then he quickly sucked back the drool that had inadvertently escaped.
What a bold Feng Nanshu, sneaking into bed like this, learning on her own, huh?
Jiang Qin silently got out of bed, went to the living room, and furiously did several sets of abdominal exercises. Then he heard someone knocking at the door and opened a crack to find Wei Lanlan outside.
“Boss, the courtesy car from Kangbona Hotel is here, and the tour guide has arrived. Everyone wants to try authentic local cuisine instead of eating at the hotel this morning.”
Jiang Qin ran his hand through his hair: “Okay, you go ahead and gather everyone in the lobby. I’ll be there soon.”
Wei Lanlan nodded and then pointed next door: “I went to wake up the boss lady earlier, but there was no response. I think she didn’t wake up.”
As they spoke, a sleepy, stunning face peeked from behind the door, looking cool and silly with a sense of just-awoken confusion, staring at Wei Lanlan with beautiful eyes and waving at her.
“…”
“…”
Their eyes met, and Wei Lanlan immediately averted her gaze: “Sorry for disturbing you, boss. I’ll go now.”
“Hey, what’s that look for? Don’t leave yet. I haven’t even made my excuses. You must have misunderstood something,” Jiang Qin hastily beckoned, but Wei Lanlan ran faster than the wind.
Seeing this, Jiang Qin turned to Feng Nanshu: “Weren’t you sleeping soundly in your room? How did you wake up all of a sudden?”
“I heard another girl’s voice, so I came to see.”
“Why were you sleeping on my bed?”
“Because I couldn’t sleep alone.”
“Nonsense, haven’t you always slept alone since you were little? Why can’t you sleep now?”
After hearing this, Feng Nanshu fell silent for a moment: “Jiang Qin, ever since I met you, I seem to have developed many bad habits.”
Jiang Qin squinted his eyes and got close to her face: “Stop blaming others first. Go and freshen up.”
“Okay.”
