Chapter 102: 102 Amitabha Buddha

"Hello, two rooms, please."

Without deliberately seeking out high-end options, Jiang Chen picked a nearby hotel after getting off the car.

"Please show your ID card."

Jiang Chen quickly took his ID card out of his pocket and handed it to the receptionist, then turned back to look at Li Shuru who was following him.

"Your ID card, please."

"I don’t have it."

Li Shuru’s face remained calm.

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

"You didn’t bring your ID card?"

"What kind of proper person carries their ID card with them all the time?"

Li Shuru’s simple retort immediately left Jiang Chen speechless.

"But without your ID card, how can we check into a room?"

Jiang Chen hurriedly lowered his voice.

He really hadn’t considered this situation; more importantly, why didn’t this girl mention it beforehand?

"Sir, do you only have one ID card? I’m afraid you cannot book two rooms with just that."

The receptionist, about thirty, reminded him.

Jiang Chen was quite embarrassed and looked at Li Shuru.

Li Shuru was also looking at him.

The two stared at each other for a moment, and Jiang Chen was the first to cave. He turned back to the receptionist, "Then, do you have any twin rooms available?"

"I’m sorry, the twin rooms are all taken now, we only have double rooms left."

Talk about when it rains, it pours.

"What should we do?"

He naturally couldn’t decide on his own, so he turned back to consult with Li Shuru.

"How about we switch to another hotel?"

"No need to trouble ourselves."

Perhaps realizing it was her issue, Li Shuru spoke with composure, "Just book one room then."

"Are you sure?"

Jiang Chen emphasized, "She said they only have double rooms left."

"So what?"

Li Shuru was nonchalant.

Jiang Chen was flabbergasted.

What does she mean by... so what? A double room means there’s only one bed!

He didn’t believe that Li Shuru lacked even that bit of common sense.

"Are you really sure about this?"

Jiang Chen asked for confirmation again.

"Can you stop being such a fusspot?"

Seeing this, Jiang Chen didn’t say anything more, turned back to the receptionist, and said, "Well then, please book a double room for us."

"All right, please wait a moment."

Fortunately, this was a city boutique hotel. If it had been a luxury hotel, every guest would have to register with their ID card, but it wasn’t so strict here.

"If you had told me earlier that you didn’t bring your ID, I could have booked a room for you and then gone back to school."

Swiping the card to enter the room, Jiang Chen was still grumbling.

"It’s not like we can’t sleep."

Li Shuru remained unruffled to this point.

"One bed, how should we sleep?"

Jiang Chen looked around and, not finding a sofa, saw only two chairs. Surely they weren’t going to sit up in chairs all night, right?

"The bed can fit two people, no problem."

Li Shuru said something astonishing.

Jiang Chen’s expression froze, and he looked at her incredulously, "You want to share a bed with me?"

"Is there a problem?"

Li Shuru watched him.

Jiang Chen stammered.

"Aren’t you afraid... that I might..."

"You’re not that kind of person."

Li Shuru whispered softly, "Although I was drunk that night, I know you took care of me all night."

Hearing this somehow felt a little heartwarming.

This girl seemed pretty good at recognizing true character.

Jiang Chen thought to himself.

"Are you taking a bath?"

Who would have thought that Li Shuru would follow up with a bombshell question.

Jiang Chen’s not yet fully relaxed expression stiffened once again.

A bath?

This room was at most thirty square meters in size, and although the bathing area was separate, that really didn’t matter.

In the dead of night, with just a man and a woman, how could one possibly take a bath in this situation?

"I’ll wait until tomorrow when I go back to school to take one."

Jiang Chen shook his head subconsciously.

"Then I’ll go take one."

Jiang Chen was startled and his eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at Li Shuru.

Li Shuru, not caring about his reaction, maybe because of the previous drunken night Jiang Chen had showcased his extraordinary character, seemed to have no guard up against him; she took a bathrobe and walked into the shower room.

"Click."

The door closed.

Jiang Chen stood foolishly in the room, watching Li Shuru pull down the curtain inside, blocking the see-through glass.

"Pitter-patter..."

Soon after, the sound of water echoed from within.

Jiang Chen’s mind went blank.

Even though he couldn’t see, he could imagine the tantalizing scene that was unfolding inside.

For a moment, Jiang Chen didn’t know whether to be happy or depressed.

After all, he really didn’t know whether the girl trusted him too much or simply didn’t regard him as a man.

While Li Shuru comfortably showered, Jiang Chen sat on the bed feeling incredibly tormented.

Although he was blameless, he couldn’t suppress the biological instincts that were inherent to him.

The sound of the shower seemed to have infinite magic, flowing through his ears and coursing through his veins, constantly eroding his thoughts and causing him to irresistibly imagine the enchanting scenes behind the glass wall.

The effect of the alcohol seemed to surge up again, Jiang Chen began to feel hot all over. He stood up and grabbed the complimentary bottled water to chug down several sips.

Namo Amitabha...

He repeated the Heart Clarity Spell to himself, but it was hardly effective. He turned on the TV, forcing himself to shift his attention.

This method wasn’t bad.

The restlessness in his heart gradually calmed down.

About ten minutes later, the sound of the water diminished, and after a while, the shower room door opened. Jiang Chen instinctively turned his head to glance, and his will nearly gave way!

Li Shuru was only wearing the thin bathrobe provided by the hotel, with a loosely tied belt around her waist that appeared as if it could be easily undone with a gentle tug. Her black hair was damp, and possibly due to the steam, her cheeks were flushed red, making her look even more delicate than a flower.

She was holding a white towel, lazily and casually wiping her hair, "Do you know where the hair dryer is?"

Jiang Chen, with his heart racing, quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look again, pretending to focus vacantly on the television.

"It should be under the sink in the cabinet."

"I looked, but didn’t see it, come and find it for me."

Come and find it.

Not help find it.

As a gentleman, or rather someone who prided himself as such, it wouldn’t have been appropriate for Jiang Chen to refuse when asked by a girl in that manner. He was obliged to get up and head towards the shower room. Even though he tried his best not to look at Li Shuru, the whiff of shower gel, shampoo, and an indescribable complex fragrance added to his already uncontrollable stirring heart as they crossed paths.

He took a deep breath, speeding up his steps, and entered the shower room where Li Shuru’s clothes were piled on the shelf.

Without looking further, Jiang Chen bent down at the sink, pulled open the drawer, and quickly found the hair dryer that Li Shuru said she couldn’t find.

As he stood up to hand the hair dryer to Li Shuru, he almost bumped into her as she had, for some reason, stood right behind him.

Jiang Chen stepped back hurriedly, almost pressing his back against the handwash basin.

Li Shuru just watched him calmly.

Regaining composure, he tried to act naturally as he handed her the hair dryer.

"Here..."

"Thank you,"

Li Shuru said with a calm demeanor as she took it. Then she added, "You can go out now."

Jiang Chen quickly stepped aside and left the shower room, not daring to stay another moment, almost fleeing the scene.

Once he was out, Li Shuru looked at her unadorned reflection in the mirror and suddenly smiled sweetly.

This junior college girl, with the allure flowing from her eyes and brows in that moment, could easily make any man lose his composure, utterly mesmerized.
