Wen Nuan instantly felt as if a clap of thunder turned his brains into a burnt paste. His heart had an indescribable and acrid feeling. Such a top-notch, magnificent, and beautiful face obviously had to belong to the masses. Now that he knew it was being monopolized by one person, if he wanted to gaze at it a little more, he wouldn’t be able to.
Ai…
Wen Nuan’s heart was suffering from pent-up frustrations. He wanted to sigh again and again.
“What are you looking at? The scumbag walked over there. He’s on that side, that side. Did you even see the scumbag at all?”
Wen Nuan was in the middle of confusion when the guest in black clothes’ unique voice snapped.
Staring blankly, Wen Nuan saw that Baili Wuchang was still standing and talking with Heibai Wuchang. He hadn’t walked one step.
He reinstated his gaze, evidently seeing that there was another man wearing an off-white trench coat standing to one side in the direction of Baili Wuchang. He was also wearing a dark pair of sunglasses, his figure tall and broad with an outstanding appearance.
Wen Nuan blinked slowly. It turns out I got the wrong person. The guest in black clothes’ boyfriend isn’t Baili Wuchang; it was just a mistake.
Phew—
His sighs became joyous. Wen Nuan patted his chest, almost laughing out loud.
The guest in black clothes had pointed for quite a while, watching the hotel employee’s face change from great bitterness in one second to radiant delight in the next. He couldn’t wrap his head around it at all.
“Is he the mister talking to the lady in the red dress?” asked Wen Nuan.
The guest in black clothes’ so-called scumbag was currently chatting with a lady in a red dress. Though they couldn’t hear what they were talking about, they could see that the lady in the red dress looked very happy. From afar, they could feel the romantic atmosphere slapping them in the face.
The guest in black clothes hid in the corner, his vicious gaze seeping out from beneath the bill of his cap. He gnashed his teeth and grumbled, “Scumbag! Coming here in the middle of the night to rendezvous with a woman; you’re dead meat! Talking and laughing; what’s there to laugh at? I hope you laugh to death. I’m so mad, laozi’s going to thrash you, you scumbag! I’m gonna thrash you until you can’t even snivel. If you get down on your knees and beg me to stay, I won’t even stay! Honestly, laozi has long been tired of you; I stopped liking you long ago! Humph! Jerk!”
The guest in black clothes vented for a while, but in Wen Nuan’s eyes, he definitely liked this “jerk” very much, or else he wouldn’t sneakily hide here and lie in wait.
The “scumbag” and the lady in the red dress chatted together, and then they both left the hotel, driving away in a car.
The guest in black clothes chased them out the door, but the car was nowhere to be found. He was so angry he nearly hopped in place, yelling, “Laozi’s gonna die of anger! You giant scumbag! Laozi’s running away from home! I won’t go back even if you beg!”
During his fit of rage, guests entering and exiting all turned their heads to look at what was happening. Once the guest in black clothes noticed, he became self-conscious, quickly turning back inside the hotel.
“I want to check in! Give me the best room!” said the guest in black clothes straightforwardly to Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan smiled lightly, leading the guest in black clothes to the front desk. The front desk was busier at this point. There were a few guests in line to check in, so the guest in black clothes waited on the side.
Wen Nuan said, “Guest, why don’t you go over there and sit down? I’ll bring you some snacks and refreshments. When it’s your turn in line, I’ll let you know.”
“No, thanks.” The guest in black clothes waved his hand. His thoughts were in turmoil right now, so he couldn’t sit at all, let alone eat or drink anything. He wasn’t in such a carefree mood.

“Cologne?” Wen Nuan was confused. Nowadays, men would spray on light perfume, giving them a sense of fashion sense.
Wen Nuan was still a fourth year college student; tuition fees and living expenses were very dire. Where would he even get the pocket change to afford men’s perfume from? He’d never worn cologne.
Wen Nuan shook his head. “There is none; I don’t wear that kind of stuff.”
“You don’t?” The guest in black clothes was even more curious. “Could it be that my nose has a problem? That can’t be it; I didn’t smell wrong, there’s a fresh and cool fragrance coming from you.”
In order to validate his own words, the guest in black clothes took another step closer to Wen Nuan, carefully smelling the scent on his body.
Wen Nuan didn’t notice a smell coming from himself at all. But when the guest in the black clothes came closer, he could smell the cologne coming from him.
It was a light smell, extremely indistinct, bitingly cold and serious with a sort of charm to it. Wen Nuan couldn’t clearly name the specifics; he wasn’t someone who understood scents very well.
“Crackle—”
Baili Wuchang’s knuckles creaked as he rolled them into fists.
He stood in one corner of the first floor lobby. When he looked up at the counter, he saw a man in black clothes close to Wen Nuan. Not only was he very close, that man was pushing his limits, inching closer and closer to Wen Nuan until the two were about to bump into each other.
Hei Wuchang didn’t notice Baili Wuchang’s peculiarities as he talked. “Boss, the misbehaving ghost across the street has already been captured. This evil ghost was really reckless; because of him, there’ve been three connected accidents all around that street. A total of two people died, and several were injured. Those over in the Underworld have been telling us to quickly send over the arrested ghost. They probably want to lock him up in the eighteenth floor of Hell. Hey boss, should me and Ol’ Bai escort the evil ghost back, or are you going to take a trip down personally? Boss? Boss?”
Hei Wuchang called multiple times until Baili Wuchang finally had a reaction, saying without heads or tails, “Go to the front desk and ask for a pen.”
“A what?” Pen?
Hei Wuchang was puzzled, but then he soon put on the smiling airs of a kiss-up, presenting both his hands out like a magician. “No need for that trouble, boss! Look! I brought pens with me. This is a ballpoint pen, this is a gel pen, haha, and I even brought a pencil. There’s blue ones, black ones, and red ones. What color do you want, boss? I…”
Bai Wuchang’s veins pulsed in his forehead. He obstructed the neverending chatterbox Hei Wuchang, saying, “Okay, boss. I’ll go now.”
Bai Wuchang efficiently turned and left to go towards the front desk.
Getting a pen was just a front. Baili Wuchang had felt the man in black clothes was standing too close to Wen Nuan, so he wanted to get them apart somehow.
Bai Wuchang walked over with a blank face, asking Wen Nuan for a pen, perfectly causing Wen Nuan and the guest in black clothes to separate a bit.
Baili Wuchang watched from afar. The burning in his heart was finally dampened a bit.
“Ah…” Hei Wuchang finally noticed, laughing. “Boss, look. The little cutie Wen Nuan has been increasingly popular lately. Seems like he’ll have luck with the ladies soon.”
Baili Wuchang’s recently alleviated emotions once again became rather ugly…
Wen Nuan was able to help the guest in black clothes check in. The guest in black clothes had waited in line for about ten minutes before it was finally his turn to go through the process.
Wen Nuan said, “Guest, look here. This is our hotel’s executive luxury suite. Is this suitable for the guest’s needs?”
The guest in black clothes was preoccupied thinking about other things, probably still distressed over his boyfriend’s affair. He waved his hand and said, “Whatever. Price isn’t a problem.”
Wen Nuan smiled. “Okay, guest. May I ask how many nights you plan on staying?”
The guest in black clothes frowned, holding up two fingers.
Two nights? Wen Nuan wanted to ask. But the guest in black clothes shook his head, holding up another finger.
Wen Nuan asked, “Three nights?”
The guest in black clothes slapped his hand down on the desk in a forthright manner. “Thirty days. I’ll reserve thirty days first.”
Wen Nuan: “…”
The lofty attitude of the guest in the black clothes shook Wen Nuan to the core. As expected, the guest in black clothes really did seem like he was running away from home.
The guest in black clothes said resolutely, “Just give me thirty days first, and then I might add on more later. Don’t worry; I have money.”
These words made Wen Nuan’s stomach acid churn. When would he be able to be on that rich and imposing level?
“Alright, please wait a moment, guest. If you could provide your ID card, I’ll quickly finish your transaction.” Wen Nuan kept smiling.
The guest in black clothes fished his ID out of his pocket, and at the same time, his cell phone made a “buzz buzz” sound.
The guest’s cell phone was on the front counter, vibrating nonstop. It showed an unknown caller ID, and there was no way to check the actual number.
Wen Nuan noticed the change in expression of the guest in black clothes. When his cell phone rang, “fwoosh”, and his face turned dark, his gaze full of deep hatred
“Fuck!”
The guest in black clothes cursed, picking up the phone and tapping the answer button. He yelled loudly into the receiver, “Are you done yet! If you call again, I’m going to report you! Your brain has some issues!”
Wen Nuan was startled by his sudden outburst.
The cell phone volume wasn’t quiet, so standing in front of him, Wen Nuan could intermittently hear the voice coming from the other side of the call.
The voice was a little distorted. “You can’t be with him…leave…him…”
The guest in black clothes was red from his neck up. “Fuck off, he’s my boyfriend, why would I leave him? Since you’re insane, go get yourself checked out! I can’t believe mistresses these days are so bombastic! Get lost!”
“You can’t…You can’t be with him…” continued the voice on the other side of the call. “This is the last time I’m telling you, leave him…or else…”
The voice paused. “Or else, I’ll kill you…kill you!”
Wen Nuan was shocked. What kind of situation was this? In love triangle plots nowadays, was it no longer popular to include misunderstandings, broken legs, or abortions? Did they have to move on to including murder and thriller elements now?
The guest in black clothes didn’t seem to be fazed by these threats, furiously ending the call and turning off his phone.
Taking a while to readjust his breathing, the guest in black clothes calmed down to say, “Right, ID card. Here; quickly help me settle the check-in formalities.”
He took his ID card out and handed it to Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan had one hand on the mouse to click on the check-in options and one hand on the guest’s ID card. He said, “Please wait a moment, I’ll quickly…”
Wen Nuan had only spoken partway when his voice stuck. He felt something wet on the ID card, and it was even kind of sticky. Something liquid dripped down his hand, unceasingly covering his fingers.
“Drip…”
“Drip drop—”
Wen Nuan looked down cautiously. He inhaled sharply, his nose full of a sweet and fishy stench.
The thing he was holding didn’t look like an ID card at all, but rather a card soaked in blood. Pungent blood dyed Wen Nuan’s fingers, looking terribly malevolent.
On the little card appeared two words…
—Leave him.

Wen-Little-Nuan: Yeah!
Lord·Proper Guidance·Baili: Do you know why you were dazed in such a way?
Wen-Little-Nuan: Because handsome guys belong to the masses! How can they be monopolized by one person?!
Lord·…·Baili: …
Good, Mr. Bai Wuchang is not a scumbag!
You mean Bali Wuchang
Yes Baili Wuchang! 😅 (Sorry Bai Wuchang)
