The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

The taxi driver drove for half an hour and stopped in front of a hotel: "We're here. This is a five-star hotel, the closest to the airport."

Huang Xin got out of the car, glanced at Chen Shi, and said, "Give me the money."

The taxi driver printed out the receipt and handed it to Chen Shi: "Three hundred and twenty."

Chen Shi took the receipt, glanced at it, and realized he had been ripped off by the taxi driver. Half an hour shouldn't cost that much in Kyoto.

Chen Shi was too lazy to argue with his master, so he paid the money and went into the hotel lobby.

"I'd like a double room," Huang Xin said, handing her ID card to the waiter. Chen Shi walked over, took out his ID card, and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter asked, "Are you here together?"

Huang Xin hummed in agreement and took out her wallet from her bag: "How much?"

The waiter asked, "How many days will you be open?"

Huang Xin glanced at Chen Shi: "Two days."

Chen Shi felt he was overwhelmed. Huang Xin was too crazy; could his back hold up?

"The total is 6000, the deposit is 1000, you pay 7000."

Huang Xin handed over the card: "Swipe the card."

After completing the formalities, Huang Xin pulled her briefcase up the elevator. Chen Shi asked, "Aren't you going out for a bit?"

"Not in the mood"

"We haven't eaten yet. We'll eat first, then go back to the hotel."

"Tell the waiter to bring it up."

Chen Shi had a strange feeling that he might be being kept by a sugar daddy.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Chen Shi was starving and asked the waiter to bring him food.

I need to eat more tonight, because exercising later will be very tiring.

After finishing her meal, Huang Xin asked, "Would you like to take a shower first?"

Chen Shi grinned mischievously: "Let's wash together."

"I won't wash with you."

"Like a lamb entering a tiger's den, you have no choice but to accept it." Chen Shi took off his coat.

"It's still uncertain who the sheep and who the tiger are."

Are you trying to seduce me?

"Don't tell me you're tired from the journey or not feeling well. I was driving, and you slept the whole way, full of energy."

Chen Shi pulled Huang Xin into his arms: "Will you be begging for mercy later?"

Just as Huang Xin was about to speak, Chen Shi covered her lips and kissed her for more than ten minutes before Huang Xin pushed Chen Shi away.

"Your breath smells bad, go rinse your mouth."

Chen Shi went to rinse his mouth, while Huang Xin opened the combination lock, took out a sexy nightgown, changed into it, and also went to rinse her mouth.

Chen Shi saw Huang Xin wearing a sexy nightgown; what man could resist such temptation?

Chen Shi picked Huang Xin up and said, "Your blatant seduction is really killing me."

The two took a bath together in the bathroom, and after a long and passionate encounter, Huang Xin's legs went weak, and Chen Shi had to carry her out. She nestled in Chen Shi's arms, as obedient as a little rabbit, her cheeks flushed.

In one night, Huang Xin tormented Chen Shi five times. Women over thirty are truly a nightmare.

The two slept until 2 p.m., or more accurately, they were woken up by hunger.

Wash up, go eat, and replenish your energy.

After finishing his meal, Chen Shi asked, "Where are we going next?"

Huang Xin looked at Chen Shi, quite satisfied with his performance last night: "You're in good shape, no longer weak."

Chen Shi frowned: "Let's get down to business."

Huang Xin looked up at the ceiling: "Let's go to the Forbidden City and see where the emperors used to live."

Chen Shi hailed a taxi, and the two arrived at the Forbidden City, only to find out that entry required advance reservations.

They didn't make a reservation, so they can't get in today. There are too many people coming to visit, and reservations haven't been available for the past few days.

Huang Xin looked at Chen Shi: "It doesn't have to be the Forbidden City, let's go to the Great Wall."

Chen Shi took a taxi to the Great Wall. There were many people climbing the Great Wall; as far as the eye could see, there were heads everywhere.

After climbing for a while, Huang Xin said, "It's boring, let's go back, it's crowded."

"Fun places are crowded."

"This place isn't fun either, it's just full of people."

Chen Shi said, "Let's go for a stroll in the Old Summer Palace."

I want peace and quiet.

"The Old Summer Palace should be quiet."

Chen Shi took a taxi again and arrived at the Yuanmingyuan. There were many people there, but far fewer than at the Forbidden City and the Great Wall.

Arriving at the lakeside, Huang Xin found a quiet spot and sat down.

Chen Shi's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Jiang Yiqiu calling.

Chen Shi walked a short distance away to answer the phone: "Yi Qiu"

"Honey, are you still in Minnesota?"

Chen Shi hummed in agreement.

"When will you be back? So many people come to wish me a Happy New Year. I don't know which ones I should refuse and which ones I should accept."

"Open it and see if there's money inside. Tell them to take it and not to come to visit again for the New Year. If there's no money inside, leave the ordinary gifts."

"Okay," Jiang Yiqiu replied and hung up the phone.

Chen Shi sat down next to Huang Xin, who said, "It was your wife who called."

Chen Shi hummed in agreement.

Huang Xin looked at Chen Shi: "If I were willing to marry you, would you divorce Jiang Yiqiu?"

"No," Chen Shi blurted out.

Huang Xin was surprised: "Don't you think about it?"

"You are not suited for marriage. Marriage is like falling into the mortal world. If you get married, it will ruin the fairy image I have of you."

What is a fairy?

"Transcendent and ethereal, forever floating in the sky, once they land, they are no longer fairies."

Huang Xin looked at Chen Shi: "Is this a good thing for us?"

What do you think?

"I don't care. I can do whatever I want, depending on my mood. If I'm in a bad mood, I can quit and become a university teacher."

"You have the resources, you can do whatever you want, but I don't have the resources, I can't afford to play this game."

"Then let's go back and end this relationship."

"If it hasn't even started, how can it end?"

Huang Xin nodded: "That's right, we never even started, we have no relationship whatsoever."

When I was in college, I had a boyfriend. After graduation, he went abroad. I waited for him for three years, but he dated three girlfriends while he was away.

After the breakup, I never dated again. I developed an aversion to men until I met you. I had the urge to be in a relationship again, but then you got married.

Isn't that infuriating?

After Huang Xin finished speaking, she laughed.

Chen Shi looked at Huang Xin and said, "You have a beautiful smile. Smile more often."

Huang Xin's smile faded: "You think I'll laugh just because you tell me to? Who are you to me?"

"Today I'm your boyfriend, can you smile at your boyfriend more?"

Huang Xin burst into laughter, nestled in Chen Shi's arms, she had never felt so relaxed. Even though he was her boyfriend for a day, she had become Chen Shi's woman.

As the sun set and the sky gradually darkened, the silhouettes of the two figures created ripples on the lake's surface.

Chen Shi accompanied Huang Xin shopping, and they didn't return to the hotel until the early hours of the morning.

Huang Xin threw herself into Chen Shi's arms and kissed him passionately, followed by another deep exchange.

Chen Shi, drenched in sweat, stroked Huang Xin's fair skin: "Your skin is so white."

Huang Xin wrapped her arms around Chen Shi's neck: "You're right, fairies can't descend to the mortal world; they should remain high above. After being with you for two days, I no longer have that longing."

"Passion will eventually fade into ordinariness, and even the most beautiful people will grow old. Sometimes, distance makes the heart grow fonder."

Huang Xin chuckled and said, "Thinking that everyone has to eat, drink, and relieve themselves, even the most noble person is no longer noble."

I am not a fairy. Fairies don't need to eat, drink, or relieve themselves. I am just a mortal.

If I meet someone I like, I will try dating, getting married, and having children.

Huang Xin looked at Chen Shi earnestly: "Until I meet someone I like, let's maintain this relationship, okay?"

With a pleading look in his eyes, Chen Shi nodded.

Huang Xin kissed Chen Shi: "Carry me to take a shower."
