Chapter 1061 - 1076: Sleeping Has Its Rules
"That's settled. I'll personally watch you self-castrate when the time comes. Haha, that scene will definitely be shocking!" Man Luo said with her hands on her hips."Alright, no matter who loses, neither of us can back out!" Lin Mu replied.
"Hmph, no regrets."
"Okay, girl, you're certainly straightforward. Let's wait for the outcome." Lin Mu chuckled, feeling immediately much better.
...
After two nights and two days of traveling, Lin Mu and the others finally arrived in Beijing on the third day.
"Let's not worry about it now, let's find a place to rest, I'm exhausted," Lin Mu said to Man Luo as he got off the highway.
Driving for two days and nights, despite taking a break in-between, was still tiring. Of course, even if he wasn't sleepy, the long inactivity bore down on him. Man Luo also looked weary, sleepy-faced. She fared slightly better than Lin Mu as she could sleep in the car, but car sleep is never quite stable, especially for a long journey, so Man Luo felt tired too.
"Mm, I'm tired too." Man Luo nodded in agreement.
Quickly, Lin Mu drove to a budget hotel.
"Miss, I'd like a double room, please," Lin Mu said to the front desk lady.
"No, please get two rooms," Man Luo said from behind.
"How about one room? It's more convenient to chat." Lin Mu persuaded.
Man Luo gave Lin Mu a disdainful look, "No way, two rooms."
Lin Mu glanced at Man Luo; this girl's stubbornness was obvious, he definitely couldn't change her mind. Helplessly pouting, he said, "Okay then, give us two luxury king rooms."
The front desk lady looked at Lin Mu and Man Luo, "Sir, Miss, I'm sorry, since it's the peak tourist season, guests usually book in advance. Currently, there's only one luxury twin room left."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mu silently thanked all the Immortals; it was as if she could hear his heart!
"Look, this..." Lin Mu was pleased, but could not show it outwardly, otherwise Man Luo, instead of staying with him, might end up sleeping on the streets. If they could negotiate calmly, there might be hope.
Without even thinking, Man Luo said to Lin Mu, "Let's go stay somewhere else."
"Miss, it's peak tourist season, rooms are in high demand. Chances are other places won't have rooms either. If this room gets booked in that time, you might not find a guest room tonight," the front desk lady told Man Luo.
Lin Mu agreed, giving the lady a supportive look. The hotel had a lovely front desk lady indeed.
"That's right, Man Luo. Besides, we're not staying long anyway, just resting. If we go somewhere else and there's no room, it'd be a loss," Lin Mu added.
Man Luo pondered for a while, finally nodding, "Alright then."
"Miss, let's check in then." Lin Mu chuckled, his tone notably polite, grateful that the front desk lady prevented his dream from being shattered.
"Okay sir, I'll need to see your ID," the front desk lady nodded.
Then Lin Mu handed his ID to the front desk lady, who quickly got their room ready. After the paperwork was done, Lin Mu and Man Luo went upstairs, entered the room, and Lin Mu stretched his body before lying down on the bed.
"Ah, so comfortable. Two days of travel, it really wears you out," Lin Mu shook his head.
Man Luo looked at Lin Mu, hands on her hips, then spoke sternly, "Hey, get up."
Lin Mu got up, sat on the bed edge, and looked at the stern-faced Man Luo, and said, "What's up, girl?"
"I need to explain a few rules to you," Man Luo maintained her stern expression.
"Come on, what's up with you?" Lin Mu asked, looking at Man Luo.
"First, I'll clarify two points. One, when we sleep, you sleep yours, I sleep mine; no bothering each other. Two, your head must always face away, not towards me. Plus, no sleeping without clothes, understood?" Man Luo said, looking at Lin Mu.
Lin Mu pulled a face, "Come on, girl, this is an unequal treaty!"
"Yes, precisely an unequal treaty. What's wrong? If you're unwilling, you can sleep outside, or I will," Man Luo continued in a serious tone, no hint of humor, as if she might really do it if Lin Mu disagreed.
"Fine, I agree, isn't that enough!" Lin Mu reluctantly complied, seeing it was better than sleeping outside.
"That's more like it. Remember what I said, or don't blame me for being rude," Man Luo pointed at Lin Mu.
Author's note:
Lin Mu nodded, replying, "Hey, I remember, I remember. After all, before long, you'll be my wife."
"Who's your wife? The bet hasn't concluded, don't make premature judgments. Think about which way to self-castrate with the least pain!" Man Luo said, then turned towards the bathroom, "I'll shower first, you think carefully."
So saying, Man Luo entered the bathroom, closing the door behind her.
"Darn, no way is self-castration painless!" Lin Mu sat at the table, pouting, glancing towards the bathroom, only to see frosted glass, nothing visible.
Of course, Lin Mu didn't dare venture a peek inside. If caught by Man Luo, she'd truly go all out against him.
Lin Mu, bored, lay on the bed and turned on the TV. It was airing an anti-Japanese soap opera on Shandong Satellite TV. Don't even mention the absurd plotline, the dialogue was utterly astounding. The male lead's opening line was: "Comrades, the eight-year war against Japan is nearing its end, this is the seventh year, one more year to go... We share a deep blood feud with Japan, like my dear grandpa, who got killed by Japanese invaders at just nine years old..."
The dialogue was so ridiculous that even Lin Mu nearly suffered internal injuries, completely speechless. Not only Lin Mu, even netizens were dumbfounded!
These war dramas against Japan clearly prioritize ratings over integrity, with things like 'bare-hand tearing devils' and 'wrist flick making bullets curve'. Even Lin Mu, the Wolf Fang Soldier King, couldn't achieve such miraculous moves. Wondering how those war drama writers came up with them, maybe Flying Dragon Film and Television should've hired a war drama writer instead of Nanny Yu as the director for 'Palace Locks Liancheng'! It might have instantly hit a billion box office, creating a rating legend.
