Wang Rongxiao had bird droppings land in his mouth twice.
And so, within the tour group, the nickname "Bird Dropping Brother" spread like wildfire.
What's more, some people even dubbed Wang Rongxiao "Shit-Eating Brother" and "Oli Ge Brother."
Wang Rongxiao's initial swagger completely vanished. Everywhere he went, he felt people pointing and whispering behind his back.
This drove him to despair.
He couldn't even figure out why he'd impulsively decided to join this tour group.
"Things are already this bad, which means my luck is about to turn."
Wang Rongxiao said fiercely to himself in the bathroom mirror.
As he spoke, he lowered his head again to rinse his mouth.
"I must have that woman, otherwise all this suffering will be for nothing!"
Wang Rongxiao thought to himself.
After the tour of Moshige Park concluded.
The tour group arrived at Xinduqiao.
That evening, everyone would be staying in Xinduqiao.
While arranging rooms, Li Fangfang found Wang Yue and Qiao Zixuan.
"It's like this, you two booked two rooms, right? But due to a mistake by the hotel staff, there's only one standard room left. Would you two be willing to share a room? You seem like a couple, so it shouldn't be an issue, right?"
Li Fangfang asked cautiously.
She quickly added, "If you're not comfortable with that, we also have a backup plan. We have partnerships with other hotels, and we can upgrade your rooms for free."
Wang Yue thought it was too much of a coincidence, as if it had been arranged.
Qiao Zixuan, however, quickly said, "No need to trouble yourselves, we'll just share one room."
"Alright, we sincerely apologize. I will refund you the difference in room rate."
Li Fangfang said apologetically.
"It's good it's a standard room. If it were a king-size bed, you'd probably be sleeping on the floor."
Wang Yue said with a smile.
"Why should I sleep on the floor? You should be the one sleeping on the floor,"
Qiao Zixuan snorted.
"The doctor said my spine is quite stiff, so it's better suited for a bed."
...
After Wang Yue and Qiao Zixuan received their room keys, they went upstairs.
Their room was on the second floor.
Hotels in regions like Tibet are typically converted guesthouses. Usually, they are only two or three stories high, and even the larger ones rarely exceed six floors.
When they entered the room, they found it to be quite spacious, and the decor was full of Tibetan style.
After inserting the room card, Qiao Zixuan ran to the bed and collapsed onto it.
"Finally at the hotel, I'm exhausted today."
Qiao Zixuan said with satisfaction.
Wang Yue didn't rest. As he opened his suitcase, he said, "Boss Qiao, even though we're sharing a room, don't try to crawl into my bed tonight. I'm a pure boy."
"Pah!"
Qiao Zixuan spat. "That's something I should be worried about? You're shameless."
"A guy needs to protect himself when he's out and about,"
Wang Yue said with a smile.
He took out his toiletries and said, "I'm going to wash up first, don't peek."
The hotel was nice in every way, except the bathroom had frosted glass. You couldn't see clearly from the outside, but the hazy view was even more suggestive.
"I won't peek, go ahead,"
Qiao Zixuan took out her phone and started calling her family.
A moment later, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.
While talking on the phone, Qiao Zixuan couldn't help but steal glances at the bathroom, blushing at the thought of Wang Yue being in there, naked.
"Xuanxuan, be careful when you're out. Remember to carry that thing I gave you. If it really comes to that, don't forget to use it."
From the other end of the phone, her mother's voice came through.
Qiao Zixuan hummed in agreement while looking at the hazy figure in the bathroom, casually saying, "I know, with Wang Yue here, I definitely won't need that thing."
"Xiao Wang is a good kid, but you can't be too careful. Anyway, keep it with you. It's best if you don't need it, but it will protect you if you do."
Her mother's voice was firm.
"Okay, okay, I know, my dear mother. I'll hang up now, I need to wash up."
Qiao Zixuan said in a coaxing tone.
After hanging up, she took out the item her mother had insisted she carry from her pocket.
Qiao Zixuan played with it for a while, then pouted and muttered, "With Big Yue Yue here, why would I need pepper spray?"
However, she still put the pepper spray back in her pocket, just in case something unexpected happened.
About ten minutes later, Wang Yue emerged from the bathroom.
He was only wearing a towel, and his perfect physique made Qiao Zixuan blush, and she quickly averted her gaze.
It's generally not recommended to shower or wash your hair on the first day at high altitudes, as your body might not be able to handle it, and you could easily catch a cold.
But Wang Yue's constitution was too strong now; he didn't fear such things.
"You can go wash up now."
Wang Yue said.
"Oh, okay."
Qiao Zixuan quickly replied.
Then she entered the bathroom.
Wang Yue quickly changed into his pajamas from his suitcase.
Qiao Zixuan didn't plan to shower; she just wanted to wash her face, rinse her mouth, and remove her makeup.
However, it took her just as long as it took Wang Yue. When Qiao Zixuan came out of the bathroom, apart from the lipstick on her lips being gone, there was little else that looked different.
Water droplets clung to Qiao Zixuan's face, enhancing her delicate beauty.
"Here, wipe your face."
Wang Yue handed her a facial towel.
"Thank you."
Qiao Zixuan smiled sweetly.
After finishing her toiletries, Wang Yue lay down on the bed.
Qiao Zixuan walked to the other side and said, "I'm going to change, don't peek."
"Can I peek then?"
Wang Yue teased.
"No!"
Qiao Zixuan snorted.
Then, a rustling sound could be heard.
Wang Yue felt a flutter of desire. He thought, it would be a waste not to glance at such a beautiful and charming young woman changing clothes behind him.
But would turning around be too beastly? What if Boss Qiao got angry?
However, this internal struggle didn't last long. In less than a minute, Qiao Zixuan's voice came from behind, "I'm done changing."
Wang Yue turned around and saw Qiao Zixuan wearing a very cute set of pajamas, completely covered, with no hint of skin showing.
"Too conservative."
Wang Yue remarked.
"What's too conservative?"
Qiao Zixuan asked.
"I'm too conservative. Seeing such a beautiful girl standing in front of me, I'm too embarrassed to look more."
Wang Yue said with a smile.
Qiao Zixuan snorted and said, "I think you've looked plenty."
Qiao Zixuan lay down on her side of the bed.
Their beds were separated by a cabinet.
Then they started chatting, and slowly, they both relaxed, the awkwardness fading away.
"Knock knock."
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
