Chapter 383 Can You Keep Me Here for One Night?
The doorbell rang, the waiter brought the shower head, and Chi Nanjin watered the little rose.
Lunch was served half an hour later. Chi Nanjin ate lunch and took an hour nap.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, he took the cable car up the mountain alone to see the scenery.
Wuxian Mountain is as its name suggests. From sunset to night, the mountain is filled with thick fog, and being in it feels like being in a fairyland in the sea of fog.
At sunrise and sunset, the air is steaming and the clouds are covered with algae.
There are waterfalls and springs scattered among the mountains.
Because of different calling habits, some locals call it Wuxian Mountain, while others call it Xianwu Mountain.
It was estimated that the time was about right, so Chi Nanjin returned to the hotel and took the little rose that was basking in the sun on the balcony inside.
A message came on his phone and the screen lit up. He took a look and saw it was a message from the group.
Lu Yizhan: [Today I asked the project manager at Xianwu Mountain. I heard that you went there. How long do you plan to stay? @池南绛]
Chi Nanjin: [About ten days.]
Lu Yizhan: [Okay, my project is almost finished, I will be there in six days]
Qin Wenyan: [I'll go too. I'll be there in five days. Let's have an outdoor barbecue. Since you have nothing to do, you prepare the ingredients @池南绛]
Chi Nanjin: [Okay.]
Chi Beixu: [I asked you to help me lead the project but you didn’t. Turns out you were just enjoying yourself. @Chi Nanjin, send me a message when you’re ready]
Chi Nanjin: [Oh.]
Wanjiezhu glanced at his phone and looked forward to it. There was going to be delicious food again.
"Host, host, is there a share for me?"
Chi Nanjin glanced at a greedy bead, swiped his phone to find the contacts he wanted, and sent messages to them one by one to order ingredients.
"I said you won't eat without me?"
“No, so I have a share, right?” Wanjiezhu blinked his big cute eyes.
Chi Nanjin looked up from his phone, stared at the round white ball in front of him for a while, and pulled its round ears, "What on earth have you turned into? Short arms and legs, round and fat, a mouse or a rabbit?"
"I'm neither a mouse nor a rabbit. I just look a bit like a snow spirit beast." Wanjiezhu retreated from his clutches and rested his hands on his chubby waist.
Within three days, Chi Nanjin experienced some of the entertainment projects himself and made many suggestions from a tourist's perspective.
The little rose still had its buds closed, no longer showing its shape, and the room no longer had the faint scent of green tea, making Chi Nanjin feel as if the shadow he saw that morning was just an illusion, and the little rose was just an ordinary Jiangnan flower.
On the fourth day of arriving at Wuxianshan Resort, at around seven in the afternoon, Chi Nanjin came back from outside and smelled a very faint fragrance as soon as he opened the door.
He quickened his pace towards the bedroom. The little rose had already bloomed, and the petals were layered with halos of sunlight. In the sunset glow, they swayed gently in the evening breeze.
As he came closer, the little rose swayed less.
Chi Nanjin leaned over and tapped her leaves, and asked softly, "You're awake, right?"
After a while, the little rose trembled, and seemed to tap his finger with its leaf in response with some hesitation.
A warm white ribbon meandered out from the center of the flower, the rose in the pot gradually disappeared, and a figure gradually solidified in the warm light.
She has black hair, snow-white skin, clear eyes, red lips, a slender waist, and a faint halo on her skin.
She took a step barefoot towards Chi Nanjin. A ball of warm light under her feet brought her to a height where she could look at him. "When did you...find me?"
She had been in a daze during this period and was not very clear about what was happening in the outside world. The last time she showed up was because she thought his scent smelled good and she would feel comfortable being close to him.
As for when she returned to her body, she couldn't remember.
As the pleasant fragrance approached, Chi Nanjin met her pure eyes filled with doubt and was slightly stunned. "That day I woke up and found you sleeping beside my bed."
She put her hands behind her back and clasped them together, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said embarrassedly: "I was feeling very uncomfortable that day, and I thought your scent smelled good and made me feel very comfortable, so I just lay there."
"But I didn't touch you, I promise."
"It's okay. I didn't say I minded." Chi Nanjin shook his head. "Are you okay now? Do you want to leave?"
He spoke the last few words in a lower voice unconsciously.
She pursed her lips, looked out the window blankly, then turned her head and asked carefully: "Okay, can you take me in for one night? I have nowhere to go."
"I'll leave tomorrow and won't bother you too much. I won't take up any space, and I'll sleep in the flowerpot after I transform back."
"Just one night, okay?"
This was also her first time in the human world. She didn't know where to go and had no place to go.
I can't go home now.
She doesn't have enough magic power now and can't open the door.
Tomorrow, I will go to the mountains and plant myself deep in the mountains. When I have accumulated enough magical power, I will open the door and go home.
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. I can go now." But she was a little directionally challenged, and the fog outside was getting thicker and thicker. She might get lost until midnight.
Hearing her reserved and shy tone, Chi Nanjin said, "You can stay as long as you want."
"Thank you for taking me in, and thank you for bringing me back." She was very happy, and there seemed to be clear water in her eyes. "But can you please not touch my petals?"
“I can actually feel it.”
"Okay, sorry, I didn't know that before. This is a suite, and there's a room next to it. You can sleep next to it. Do you need clothes?"
"It's okay." She shook her head, "No need, I can change myself."
As she spoke, the light on her body became stronger, and the long skirt she was wearing turned into another short skirt of a different style, soft and flowing, and the pattern on it was similar to the long skirt.
"This is different from the room I saw before."
"What you saw before was my home, but now this is a hotel in the resort area."
"Oh, my name is Liu Guixue. It's the name my sister gave me. You can call me Guixue or Axue." As she spoke, she wrote words in the air. The light golden words were engraved with gold powder and sparkled.
Chi Nanjin listened and couldn't help but smile, "My name is Chi Nanjin."
Axue, what a familiar name.
He typed the words into the memo on his phone and showed it to her.
"I remember it. It's a nice name." She nodded seriously.
"Thank you, your name is also very nice, Axue." She looks so cute.
Liu Guixue looked at him and moved closer. "Aren't you surprised to see me? You seem very calm."
"I've been surprised." Chi Nanjin took a step back calmly.
The innocent little flower fairy was too close.
"Oh, okay." Liu Guixue pointed at his phone again, "What is this?"
"Mobile phones can be used for communication, entertainment, socializing, shopping, etc. Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"
"Don't be afraid. You smell good. Bad people stink. Besides, if you are a bad guy, I can use magic to knock you down right now."
Chi Nanjin smiled, "You are quite powerful."
"Of course, but my sister is better than me."
