Chapter 110 Pink Love Hotel

The red Ferrari 488 turned into a dimly lit alley.

The roar of the engines subsided here, eventually fading into silence.

Erii looked around curiously, her scarlet eyes sparkling in the dim light like crystal-clear rubies.

Deep in the alley, old buildings stand silently, their walls mottled, probably older than Cheng Sui himself.

The old pink neon light flickered intermittently in the darkness due to poor electrical contact.

Erii's gaze was drawn to the light sign, and she tried to decipher the pseudonyms on it.

【ピクのブホテル】（Pink love hotel "Love hotel?"

She turned her head to look at Cheng Sui beside her, blinked her innocent, rosy eyes, and raised the notebook in her hand.

Are we staying here tonight?

Meeting those clear, pure eyes, Cheng Sui suddenly felt a strange sense of guilt, and for a moment he even felt like he had become a human trafficker who had abducted an innocent girl.

He certainly didn't want to bring Erii to such a remote and shady hotel. If conditions allowed, he would definitely take Erii to the best hotel.

However, Cheng Sui is still wanted throughout Tokyo, and only places like this, where no identity registration is required, can provide a temporary shelter.

Outside the car window, a light drizzle was still falling.

The rain slanted down, casting countless fine rays of light under the dim streetlights at the alley entrance.

A Ferrari 488 with its white lights on slowly came to a stop at the intersection, where the floodwaters almost submerged the red supercar's chassis.

Cheng Sui pushed open the driver's side door.

He took off his black trench coat and opened it up; the black trench coat was like a huge black umbrella, blocking the rain from above.

Erii pushed open the passenger door from the inside.

A foot wearing black loafers stretched out, its calf slender and beautiful, its skin dazzlingly white in the dim light.

The foot tentatively stepped into the cold, stagnant water, then quickly withdrew.

A moment later, when the foot emerged again, it was barefoot, its shoes and socks removed, and the bare toes lightly touched the murky water.

The girl bent down and crawled out of the carriage, coming under the trench coat that Cheng Sui had held up.

She held her beloved little leather shoes carefully in her arms, as if they were some precious treasure.

The two huddled together under a trench coat and hurried toward the hotel, which was flashing pink lights.

Erii subconsciously raised her head, her gaze sweeping over Cheng Sui's trench coat lining.

The magnificent and eerie ukiyo-e print flashed by in the dim light, making her blink involuntarily.

Rainwater gathered into a rushing stream on the narrow street, and muddy water splashed on the girl's fair calves.

Her steps were incredibly light, like a white deer wading through water, completely unaware of the dangers around her.

The rooftop of a tall building not far away.

Mai Shude was dressed in a tight-fitting black combat suit, blending perfectly into the night.

She lay motionless against the cold parapet wall, the icy rain soaking her hair.

The crosshairs of the sniper scope were firmly locked onto the two figures embracing at the alley entrance.

"Long legs! What are you waiting for? Shoot! You don't have your eye on this boy, do you?"

Su Enxi's anxious voice came through the headset, accompanied by the crisp sound of potato chips being bitten into pieces.

"I told you this mission should have been done by Sanwu. If it were her, she would have fired the gun long ago!" Su Enxi said.

"Shut up." Mai Shude tried to keep her voice down. "What do you mean by 'like' or 'dislike'? My taste is very high, okay?"

"Then why are you still standing there?!" Su Enxi's voice rose eight octaves. "Are you waiting for them to go into their wedding night?"

"I have a feeling—" Mai Shude looked at the boy in the sniper scope.

The boy's profile was clearly visible through the crosshairs, calm and composed.

"If I pull the trigger right now, I'll be the one who dies."

"Huh? Long Legs, when did you start believing in these superstitious premonitions?"

"It's a ninja's intuition," Mai Shutoku said calmly. "It's also part of ninja training, and it can save your life in crucial moments."

On the other end of the headset, Su Enxi clicked her tongue in exasperation and said irritably, "So what do we do now? We can't just stand by and watch them go in, can we? A man and a woman alone in a room, what if our little tiger goes berserk and devours our little kitten?"

Mai rolled her eyes.

"Then what do you suggest? You can't expect me to suddenly awaken as the Dragon King and then descend from the sky to break up the couple, can you?"

"Ugh, this is so annoying!" Su Enxi scratched her head in frustration. "This is terrible, the boss is probably going to explode with anger this time."

Mai Shude did not speak again.

She simply watched silently through the sniper scope as the two figures nestled together ran into the hotel, her eyes flickering with an unreadable light, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Inside the hotel.

The proprietress, who was over fifty years old, was eating sunflower seeds and watching a boring variety show on TV.

The wind chimes by the door jingled softly. She lifted her eyelids and noticed the young couple who had run in to take shelter from the rain.

The boy was tall and handsome, and the girl was as delicate as a porcelain doll.

The two huddled together under a large trench coat, their hair and trouser legs soaked through, looking somewhat disheveled, yet exuding an indescribable intimacy.

The proprietress paused for a moment while cracking sunflower seeds.

She suddenly remembered decades ago, when she had just opened this hotel.

At that time, she was a young woman full of dreams for the future. This hotel, also known as the Lovers' Hotel, was carefully designed by her and specially prepared for couples in love.

She hopes that every couple who comes here can have a warm and sweet memory.

However, with the relocation of the city's development zone and various changes in his own life, the hotel gradually turned into a filthy, illegal establishment.

Anyone can move in, as long as they pay.

The landlady had long lost her enthusiasm for life. Her original ideal of "building a comfortable haven for couples" had long been thrown into the dustbin of memory, covered with a thick layer of dust.

But today, when she saw the young couple in front of her, that forgotten ideal seemed to be rekindled from the ashes with a faint flame.

She sized up the two of them.

The boy's trench coat was made of fine material, and the girl's leather shoes were also from an expensive brand.

These two people don't look like the kind of people who would be so destitute as to live in such a run-down place.

The proprietress instantly imagined a noble young man and a wealthy heiress eloping, only to be forced to flee into a hotel in such a remote place while being hunted down by their families.

Yes, it must be a beautiful and romantic love story like this.

The proprietress's eyes softened instantly, even taking on a hint of elder-like affection.

"Boss, give me two rooms."

Cheng Sui shook the water droplets off his trench coat at the door. The Sheqi Ba family's custom-made trench coats were of excellent quality, with a highly effective hydrophobic material on the outside, so the rainwater would dry off with a shake.

Erii immediately pulled out her notebook from her pocket, scribbled down a line, and then held it up in front of the landlady, acting as a translator.

The proprietress glanced at the words on the notebook, then at Cheng Sui, and raised her eyebrows meaningfully.

Cheng Sui was a little confused by her gaze, not understanding what the proprietress's expression meant.

The proprietress seemed to understand his inner doubts.

She stretched out her hand, painted with gaudy red nail polish, and slowly admired it before speaking in a nonchalant tone.

"There's only one room left. You two figure it out."

Erii immediately wrote something new in her notebook and handed it to Cheng Sui.

"The landlady said there was only one room left."

Cheng Sui looked at the proprietress.

Logically speaking, a small hotel in such a remote location should have very little business, so how come it's so full that there's only one room left?

A hint of doubt arose in his mind.

Just then, the proprietress blinked her right eye at him quickly.

His eyes were full of "I understand" and "Good luck!"

Cheng Sui:

'

He seemed to understand a little.

The landlady was treating them like a young couple having a fight and coming to a hotel, and she was actively creating opportunities for them.

Young man, this is all the help I can give you.

Cheng Sui's expression turned somewhat strange.

He turned to look at Erii, who looked completely bewildered, as she curiously examined the old-fashioned decor of the inn.

He sighed.

Now it seems there is no other choice.

"Then—"

Cheng Sui spoke tentatively, his tone tinged with uncertainty.

"Book the last room?"

The proprietress's smile widened instantly, revealing a set of teeth stained yellow by tobacco.

She took a bunch of keys out of the drawer, picked through a pile of rusty keys, and finally took out the one that looked the newest and cleanest, and slapped it on the counter.

"Top floor, 301, that's our best room."
