Chapter 21
“Clang clang clang——”
The journey was full of mountain roads. The ground was full of rough little pebbles.
The bus full of people slowly moved forward. It was a bit wobbly.
The scenery outside the vehicle’s window was very monotonous and full of trees, inexplicably looking a bit bleak. The bus drove for an indeterminate amount of time, the same thickness of trees always passing by the windows.
Su Jingyan was sitting by the window alone, wearing earbuds, listening to music, and quietly looking at the scenery outside the window.
He was dressed strangely, wearing a hat and mask so his face couldn’t be seen. He looked out of place with the world.
It might be because he was dressed in a different way, but there were several people in the bus looking at him from time to time.
As for the person concerned, because Su Jingyan often dressed up like this, he seemed to be able to completely shield himself from the scrutiny of these strangers. He didn’t feel disturbed by their stares at all.
This was a bus leading to ‘Xiyi Hotel.’
‘Xiyi Hotel’ was a five-star hotel with a design similar to a homestay. It was not a hotel established in a bustling area or crowded place like the city center.
On the contrary, ‘Xiyi Hotel’ took the opposite approach from other established hotels—it was built in the deep mountains and old forests.
The bus they were taking now was the only one so far that connected Xiyi Hotel with the outside world.
As for the group of people sitting on that bus, there were students, big bosses, and plebeians who look like philistines. There didn’t seem to be any coherence in class.
This time, the reason this group of people wanted to go to Xiyi Hotel was because they had received an invitation from Xiyi Hotel, which was commonly known as winning the lottery.
‘Xiyi Hotel’ was a regular hotel, and its corresponding introduction could be found when a certain article was searched. It was unique as it was the only one in the whole country.
Su Jingyan belonged to the category that never thought that he would win a lottery and come here to experience it. He followed the address shown on the map and came here, thinking that he didn’t need to pay for it anyway, so he might as well try it.
But if he could open his eyes, or be able to see the yin energy in this group of people, he would definitely know that everyone sitting around him was not a good person, and they definitely have their own little plans in their hearts.
Su Jingyan didn’t search for the certain article, so he didn’t know. According to incomplete statistics, “Xiyi Hotel” seemed to have some magical power. Anyone who stayed in “Xiyi Hotel” for seven days and then came back would either get rich and get promoted, or could even be cured of terminal illness directly. It made people yearn for the chance to go there.
But because the ‘Xiyi Hotel’ was hidden deep in the mountains and old forests, no one knew its exact location. All the passengers who could go to the ‘Xiyi Hotel’ were there because of the invitation.
And even if the other people racked their brains, they couldn’t find the way to Xiyi Hotel.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Therefore, many people have speculated about what exactly ‘Xiyi Hotel’ relied on to make money and why it was so mysterious.

The driver of the bus was a middle-aged man wearing a mask, with the bulging stomach of a beer belly, and a short haircut. Only his eyes were exposed on his whole face.
Since they got onto the bus, the driver has not said a word, including during the sudden brake. He did not give any explanation.
It was then that people noticed the real reason for the bus stopping.
Standing in front of the bus was a gloomy boy, dressed in the cheapest all-black fabric, with bangs covering his eyes, and holding a bag in his hand. He had blocked the middle of the road abruptly, looking inexplicably scary, especially since it was almost dusk.
This boy seemed to rush out suddenly. He really wasn’t afraid of death.
The driver didn’t ask the people in the vehicle for their opinion at all. He just pressed the switch and opened the door.
The boy walked up slowly with a gloomy face while carrying his bag.
Everyone in the car has a number posted on their chest, which is the voucher to the ‘Xiyi Hotel.’
When the people in the bus saw a number on the boy’s right chest, they didn’t say anything. Except for a few who woke up and were still cursing softly, no one else made a sound.
This was a bus that was so quiet that it was a little weird.
There were many seats on the bus, but the seats were not all filled, there were still many empty seats on the bus.
The boy looked around. As if he had found something interesting, he lifted his head. As if following the smell of some fragrance, he walked through the crowd without hesitation towards his goal.
Somehow, the place the boy passed by became cold. The boy was like a humanoid mobile air conditioner, but those who passed very close to him shuddered.
Su Jingyan was listening to a song with headphones on. His head was lowered, and his eyes were closed. The stop of the bus just now didn’t frighten him.
The boy put his luggage on the ground and sat directly next to Su Jingyan.
Hearing the sound, Su Jingyan raised his head, met the boy’s gaze, and was slightly taken aback.
Up close, this boy’s facial features were exquisite, although his complexion was unusually pale, his skin condition was even better, his nose was straight, his lips were pale in color, and his eyes were blocked by bangs. Beneath them, his eyes were so black that not even a bit of luster was visible.
After the boy sat down, the inquiring eyes in the bus were withdrawn one by one.
The bus started to wobble forward again.
Although the boy’s eyes were dull, they were inexplicably aggressive. After sitting down, he stared at Su Jingyan with an undisguised staring gaze and even pulled a split smile from the corners of his mouth, which looked a little scary.
For some reason, the face of Su Jingyan, who was able to turn a blind eye to the staring eyes of strangers early in the morning, burned uncontrollably after being stared at by a boy for a few minutes. Fortunately, there was a mask and hat that covered him, so that person wouldn’t be able to see.
Su Jingyan inexplicably felt his heartbeat start to speed up. Even if he opened the window sill next to him, he felt that his brain was lacking oxygen.
It might be because the boy’s facial features were to Su Jingyan’s taste.
Su Jingyan cursed in his head.
Then he touched the back of his neck cautiously, trying to relieve his embarrassment by looking out the window. But the boy seemed to not see Su Jingyan’s embarrassment and continued to stare at him unabashedly.
Obviously nothing could be seen of the person at all; the hat blocked Su Jingyan’s face. But the boy’s gaze was extremely focused, as if he could see through the clothes and clearly see the face behind the mask.
Su Jingyan was a little bit uncomfortable. Even if he didn’t look at the boy next to him, he could still feel the hot gaze.
Finally, Su Jingyan held his breath, turned his head with a glare, and wanted to warn the other party not to stare at him, it was very impolite. But when he turned around, the look in the boy’s eyes was inexplicably discouraged.
Su Jingyan’s eyes blinked defenselessly, and his face burned even more. For the first time in his life, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with a stranger and said, “Uh…my name is Su Jingyan, what’s your name?”
After the boy heard what Su Jingyan said, the corners of his mouth split even more. His dark eyes fixed on Su Jingyan’s every move, but he still answered Su Jingyan’s question, “Lu Yichen.”
Su Jingyan was inexplicably short of breath. He repeated the other party’s name in a daze, “Lu Yichen.”
The boy’s whole body seemed to be passed through by an electric current. When Su Jingyan called his name, his body twitched involuntarily as if he had been stimulated by something.
Su Jingyan’s face turned even redder.
The boy behaved strangely from the moment he got on the bus, and Su Jingyan was also dressed strangely. The two of them, who seemed out of place with everyone, sat together, so more people glanced over.
And from their point of view, they could only see the two strange creatures looking at each other affectionately. They didn’t know what to do.
“…” It was hard for them to watch.
“Clang clang clang—”
The bus drove slowly. The sky was getting dark, and it had already turned to dusk. After a while, it would be dawn.
The people were exhausted from a whole day of travel. Their buttocks ached from sitting, and they couldn’t help complaining in their hearts, why haven’t we arrived at Xiyi Hotel yet?
Suddenly, the bus stopped.
To everyone’s delight, they finally arrived.
This group of people excitedly picked up their luggage and got down from the bus as if rushing to reincarnate with ecstasy that couldn’t be concealed on their faces.
The boy named Lu Yichen still stared at Su Jingyan without moving. Seeing that the people in the bus had almost all left and the other party still had no intention of standing up, Su Jingyan couldn’t help it and poked the other party’s arm with a finger on his right hand. He said softly, “Uh…we’re here…let’s go down.”
The moment the boy was touched by Su Jingyan, his eyes slightly narrowed and lowered. His thoughts were unclear.
However, he still listened to Su Jingyan’s words and stood up.
Su Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief.
He was about to get his suitcase when the boy quickly took it in his hand.
“…”
“…”
The two looked at each other.
Su Jingyan couldn’t resist him. Blushing, he walked in front of the boy and got out of the bus. There were only the two of them left in the bus.
The driver smelled the fragrance in the air and licked his lips. His eyes fell on Su Jingyan’s body.
Smells so good, want to eat.
The moment Su Jingyan stepped off the car, the boy behind him looked at the driver. The boy narrowed his eyes and showed a slightly menacing and threatening sneer.
The latter shrank his neck like a child who had been disciplined by his parents. His face was full of horror and fear as if he had seen someone he shouldn’t see, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Su Jingyan walked inside with the crowd, and within a few steps, he secretly praised that the environment here was really good.
The one who received them was a smiling woman, wearing a professional suit and half skirt. She caringly led the way.
“The number on your chest is your room number. Please go inside. Your dinner has been prepared in your room, you can eat it with no worries.” The woman licked her lips as she finished saying this, as if thinking of something delicious.
Everyone rushed in excitedly, looking for their own rooms as if they had never experienced the world before.
Su Jingyan heard the words and planned to follow them in, but the next second, he was stopped by the woman who was receiving the guests.
The woman looked at Su Jingyan and smiled even more heartily. She even put a hand on his shoulder and suddenly said in a flirtatious voice, “I’ll take you there.”
“…” Su Jingyan was a little speechless.
The woman didn’t look too young, but she just had to force a lovable and pretty expression like a young girl. It was weird no matter what.
The woman squinted her eyes, smelling Su Jingyan’s body. The corners of her mouth curved deeper.
Smelled so good.
The woman’s other hand was about to be put on Su Jingyan’s shoulder too, but suddenly froze in place. She withdrew the hand that was on Su Jingyan’s shoulder and looked behind Su Jingyan in horror.
Su Jingyan noticed her abnormality and turned around, following her gaze.
He was surprised.
It was the boy on the bus just now.
