Special service; again with the special service…
But when Wen Nuan heard these words this time, he didn’t act like the first time where his brain uncontrollably conjured up wild fantasies.
Wen Nuan followed Baili Wuchang to Room 404. With a face full of smiles, he held out a booklet and said, “Guest, this is the entire selection of our special services. The prices are clearly marked; swiping your card or signing the bill are both acceptable forms of payment. May I ask what kind of special service you may need, guest?”
There was no doubt that the Hell Chain Hotel was an upstanding hotel, but the hotel did provide some unusual customers with service, which is why Baili Wuchang called it “special service”.
For example, the hotel would offer and provide forgetful ghosts with storage space for their memories. For ghost guests who missed their families but had no means of reuniting with them, the hotel would offer “alternative phone numbers” and provide support through dreams. For the ghost guests in need, they would help them handle long-term passports and such.
And of course, the hotel also provided the special service of looking for lost people or items.
Baili Wuchang sat on the sofa, drumming his fingers of his right hand against the armrest for a moment. Between his index finger and his middle finger, there suddenly appeared a photograph.
Wen Nuan didn’t need him to say more, swiftly taking the photo and looking at it.
“Box,” said Baili Wuchang, treasuring words like gold. “If you see this type of box, immediately let me know.”
“Alright, guest.” Wen Nuan nodded. It turns out the nice-waist guest picked the item search service.
After working the night shift for a while, Wen Nuan had already helped several guests look for their lost items. One instance was the scarab beetle guest. Wen Nuan spent half an hour before finding the precious pearl that was almost more important than his life.
Remembering just a little, Wen Nuan felt his scalp go numb. He rapidly refocused his attention on the photo.
The photo was a close-up of a box. The box was closed, and it wasn’t clear what might be inside. The box itself looked simple and plain; there wasn’t gold or silver inlaid, nor was it adorned by gems. It was a very unremarkable box, and it even had a few blemishes.
Wen Nuan was an easily curious person. When he first saw this picture, he immediately thought, What’s inside this little box? Baili Wuchang’s a ghost envoy of the highest level of Hell’s ghost department. If he needs to look for something, it’s probably not anything ordinary.
Without needing Wen Nuan to speak his mind, Baili Wuchang tapped his armrest and said, “If you find the box, don’t open it.”
Wen Nuan was a seriously curious person. Baili Wuchang had experienced this much, so his words were tailor-made just for Wen Nuan to hear.
Wen Nuan smiled embarrassedly. “Okay, guest. I understand.”
Baili Wuchang’s gaze calmly swept over him. He said, “The contents of this box have nothing to do with you.”
“I know, guest,” responded Wen Nuan. “Guest, don’t worry. If I find the box, I’ll tell you as soon as possible. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first.”
Wen Nuan left Room 404 and closed the door, finally letting out a sigh. He quickly walked away without looking back, boarding the elevator ready to head back down to the first floor lobby.
It had already been a good number of days since Wen Nuan had that strangely stimulating dream. It was just a dream, and it wasn’t a big deal. But weirdly enough, whenever Wen Nuan saw the guest from Room 404, he would feel his guilty conscience arise.
Especially when they were alone!

Wen Nuan’s work name tag wasn’t fastened to his uniform shirt. Perhaps the pin wasn’t secure enough, so it vanished all of a sudden.
“It probably dropped somewhere. I still had it when I was coming upstairs.” Wen Nuan quickly turned around to retrace his steps.
When Wen Nuan followed Baili Wuchang to Room 404, his name tag had still been there; Wen Nuan was sure about that. The name tag could have only fallen in two places: one was along the road, and the other was inside Room 404.
When Wen Nuan left Room 404, the door to Room 404 had quietly opened, and Baili Wuchang came out.
Baili Wuchang didn’t go far. He merely opened the door, languidly reclining against the entrance. His gaze vaguely stared at Wen Nuan’s back.
Wen Nuan turned a corner and was far away, but as Wen Nuan was walking down the hall, something fell, dropping onto the floor.
Baili Wuchang’s eyes lowered. He strolled over on his long legs and stooped down to pick that thing up. It was a name tag, the words “Lobby front desk: Wen Nuan” written on it.
Baili Wuchang held the name tag in the hollow of his palm as if in a meditative state. However, his gaze was flickering; in the inky black of his pupils, a slight crimson hue emerged.
As if Baili Wuchang suddenly made up his mind, he slowly lowered his head. His long, dark hair fell over his shoulders, blocking his side profile. Others wouldn’t be able to see what kind of expression he had on his face.
Lastly, Baili Wuchang’s tall and straight nose touched the cold name tag. He couldn’t help closing his eyes, inhaling deeply.
On this seemingly unremarkable name tag, Wen Nuan’s scent permeated it, emitting a hard to describe fragrance. It stimulated every one of Baili Wuchang’s nerves. It made him felt a sense of restlessness, and to him, it was a sort of fatal attraction.
Wen Nuan’s scent is exactly the same as Master’s…
Baili Wuchang couldn’t extricate himself from this feeling. Just this light scent wasn’t enough to satisfy the swelling greed in his heart…
“Guest?! Are you okay?”
Baili Wuchang was on the verge of being in trouble. Wen Nuan’s voice burst into his ears, giving Baili Wuchang, who was never ever scared, a frightful shock.
His expression darkened. Baili Wuchang quickly hid his hand behind his back, the name tag held firmly in his palm. There was only one thought on his mind: I absolutely can’t let Wen Nuan know I was just sniffing his things as if drunk and stupefied. Or else…
Not only will my legendary reputation be obliterated, I’m afraid that Wen Nuan will think I’m a perverted molester.
Baili Wuchang stubbornly composed himself to face Wen Nuan’s worried expression.
Wen Nuan was looking for his name tag, so he ran all the way back. When he turned the corner, he saw Baili Wuchang standing in the hallway.
He didn’t know what Baili Wuchang was doing, but he was slightly hunched over, his hand covering his face. It was like he was stuck in a freeze frame, aside from the fact that he was heavily breathing.
In Wen Nuan’s eyes, his appearance looked like…
He was suffering.
Startled, Wen Nuan thought Baili Wuchang had been injured, quickly running over to ask in concern.
Facing Wen Nuan’s concerned gaze, Baili Wuchang sighed, his eyebrows twitching.
Baili Wuchang and Wen Nuan stared at each other for a good three to four seconds. Finally, without a word, he turned and went back inside.
“Bang!”
The door heartlessly shut.
Wen Nuan stood foolishly by himself. He said ruefully, “Ah…Sure enough, attractive people have more of a temperament by comparison…”
In the end, Wen Nuan never found his name tag. He had no choice but to go back to the first floor lobby and continue working.
As soon as he exited the elevator, he saw a strange and suspicious guest standing in a corner of the lobby.
The man wore black from head to toe. He wore a black leather shirt, a pair of black pants, a pair of black sunglasses, a black baseball cap, and he even dragged a black luggage with him.
Though he was armed to the teeth in this way, it was the middle of the night. This guest was dressed so “flamboyantly” that he was still given second glances by passersby. At least eight out of ten people turned back to look.
Wen Nuan was one of these people. He snuck a few strange glances at this strange looking guest.
The guest was about a hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall. Black clothing naturally made one appear slimmer, and this guest wasn’t bulky to begin with, so with all his black attire, it accentuated the guest’s slenderness.
The guest in black clothes had a luggage case with him, so he was probably here to stay, but he didn’t go to the counter for the check-in process. He just stood in the corner of the lobby, incessantly looking left and right, and incessantly raising his wrist to check his watch.
Wen Nuan came over from the side, standing with a smile to ask, “Do you need any help, guest? Are you looking for someone?”
The guest in black clothes was startled by Wen Nuan. He hurriedly pressed down on his baseball cap, clearing his throat. Purposely lowering his voice, he said hoarsely, “I don’t have a reservation. Can I still check in? Oh, right, any room is fine, and price isn’t a problem.”
“We do have rooms available, but…guest? Is your throat alright?” A fit of goosebumps rose on Wen Nuan’s skin listening to him speak.
“Cough…cough, my throat’s alright, it’s nothing.” The guest in black clothes continued to speak in a hoarse, hushed voice. “Then please help me check in. I’ll wait here for you. It’s not convenient for me to go by myself.”
Wen Nuan’s internal curiosity only grew. Not convenient?
Wen Nuan saw this guest looking all around earlier. He thought this guest in black clothes was looking for someone, but it was like he was having second thoughts now. Maybe he wasn’t looking for someone?
The guest in black clothes felt like Wen Nuan’s probing gaze wasn’t natural. He hoarsely whispered, “I’ll tell you the truth; I’m here to catch a couple in the act! I suspect my boyfriend’s having an affair! He’s over there, so it’s not convenient for me to go over.”
“So that’s how it is…” Wen Nuan smiled awkwardly, ashamed. Wen Nuan had only heard stories from his seniors about people coming to the hotel to expose illicit relations. Today was his first time experiencing one.
Catching a couple in the act was already something quite exciting. Hearing that this guest’s partner was a man sounded even more exciting.
The guest said in a low voice, “He’s over there, I’m not lying to you. My boyfriend’s the man wearing an off-white trench coat. That scumbag!”
Wen Nuan looked in the direction the guest in black clothes was pointing. He saw on the other side of the lobby, there was indeed a man wearing an off-white trench coat standing there.
“That’s him! The sunglasses-wearing, tall in stature, and particularly handsome one is him.” The guest’s mouth ran wild as he related the information.
Wen Nuan followed his descriptions, his eyes excitedly growing wider and wider. He was shocked into a stupor.
On the opposite side of the lobby, the man wearing an off-white trench coat was way too familiar. Wasn’t that the guest from Room 404, Baili Wuchang?
Baili Wuchang stood over there talking to Heibai Wuchang, a pair of black sunglasses on his face.
Huh—
Wen Nuan breathlessly gasped. The guest from Room 404 already had a boyfriend?
For him to even dream about doing this and that with a man who was already taken, weren’t his tastes too hardcore?!
