This Girl Is Actually Quite Interesting

It took four or five calls before Li Yuanying finally moved and lifted her head.

She struggled to open her eyes, then leaned back in the chair and mumbled, “Mm... Drink... keep drinking...”

“You’re already like this and you still want to drink? Wake up. We’re getting off the boat. Stop sleeping—we’ll go back to the hotel and you can sleep there.”

“Mm...” Li Yuanying shook her head and took several seconds to come around. Su Yang picked up a bottle of mineral water, opened it, and helped her drink a few sips.

“How are you feeling? Any better?”

“Phew! Su Yang, it’s you.”

“Who else would it be? Can you stand up?”

“I can!”

Li Yuanying said this as she tried to get up. Su Yang quickly caught her by the forearm and helped her to her feet.

The yacht had already come to a complete stop. A server walked around to the other side and helped Su Yang support Li Yuanying as they headed ashore.

Once they had disembarked, Su Yang looked at the server and said, “Thanks, miss. You can head back now.”

“You’re welcome, sir. Have a good night, and we hope to see you again on the Pirate Ship.”

“Sure.”

Su Yang supported the unsteady Li Yuanying toward the sidewalk along the shore.

When they reached the street, Su Yang used a little force to help Li Yuanying stand upright.

“Yuanying?”

“Hmm? Su Yang... I’m fine... I’m not drunk.”

“You’re not drunk? How about we go back to the hotel and have a little more to drink?”

“Okay... sure.”

“You really dare say yes? Come on, go back and rest. We still have to visit Ruis tomorrow.”

After Su Yang finished speaking, Li Yuanying did not answer. Her eyes closed again, and her body slowly began to slide downward.

Su Yang immediately pulled her back up.

“Forget it. I’d better carry you.”

With that, he quickly turned around and hoisted Li Yuanying onto his back.

There was hardly any traffic left on the street. Although they were in District 1 of Paris, Europe was different from Huaguo—once it was past midnight, the streets were no longer very lively.

Su Yang carried Li Yuanying slowly along the roadside.

After walking for several minutes, they finally saw an empty taxi coming toward them. He immediately freed one hand and flagged it down.

He opened the door and put Li Yuanying in the back seat, then quickly climbed in himself.

“Driver, take us to the Peninsula Hotel.”

“Driver?”

“Oh, it means ‘handsome guy.’”

“Is that so? Ha-ha. All right, hold on tight.”

The driver stepped on the accelerator, turned the wheel, and quickly headed toward the Peninsula Hotel.

There were few cars on the road at night, so there was no traffic at all. The taxi soon brought them back to the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel.

After paying, Su Yang got out first, helped Li Yuanying out, and then carried her onto his back again.

The taxi quickly disappeared into the distance. Su Yang turned around and carried Li Yuanying toward the hotel entrance.

At that moment, Li Yuanying, lying on his back, mumbled, “Su... Yang...”

“What is it?”

“Drink.”

Hearing this, Su Yang gave a helpless smile. “No more drinking. We’re going back to the hotel so you can sleep. Oh, right—which room are you staying in?”

“Yuanying? Wake up.”

Su Yang did not rush into the hotel. He called out four or five times before Li Yuanying finally answered, “Fifty...”

“Fifty? Fifty-something?”

“Eight.”

Li Yuanying uttered the final digit, tilted her head to the side, and fell asleep against Su Yang’s neck again.

“508? Got it.”

There were still two doormen standing outside the hotel. Su Yang took out his own room card and showed it to them before carrying Li Yuanying into the lobby.

Apart from the two employees standing behind the front desk, there was practically no one else in the lobby.

Su Yang could not be bothered to look around. He carried Li Yuanying to the elevator hall and soon took the elevator up to the fifth floor.

“508?” He glanced up at the sign outside the elevator, then turned left. He soon arrived in front of Room 508 and lowered Li Yuanying onto the carpet, leaving her sitting by the door.

He then opened Li Yuanying’s bag and found a white card inside.

Although rummaging through someone else’s bag was not exactly appropriate, this was a special situation, and he had no other choice.

He had considered carrying Li Yuanying to his own room, but the time was not right yet.

Click.

The door opened, and the lights inside the room came on.

Su Yang scooped Li Yuanying up around the waist and carried her inside.

Li Yuanying’s room was a suite. It was spacious, with a living room and a large bedroom.

Su Yang carried her into the bedroom, whose door had been left open. There was a huge bed—nearly two meters wide—inside. He brought her to the bedside, laid her down, took off her shoes, and pulled the covers over her. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.

“Phew! That’s finally taken care of.”

“Get some good rest. I’ll be going now. See you tomorrow,” Su Yang muttered to himself before turning to leave.

He gently closed the bedroom door and walked straight out of the suite.

The instant the suite door closed, the system’s notification rang out in his mind.

Ding! Li Yuanying’s favorability toward the host has increased to 70. Reward: 5 million.

Hearing this, Su Yang paused and gave a helpless laugh. “Ha! These girls all love pretending to be drunk. I knew it—she must have already been awake when we got out of the car. Otherwise, there’s no way she could have told me her room number. With acting like that, she could probably become famous as an actress instead of a singer.”

Su Yang chuckled, said nothing more, and walked straight toward the elevators.

Meanwhile, inside the bedroom of Room 508, Li Yuanying slowly opened her eyes.

She had indeed drunk quite a bit that day, but she had not been drunk enough to lose consciousness. On a sudden impulse, she had wanted to see what Su Yang would do if she pretended to be drunk.

Now, she lay on the bed staring blankly at the dark ceiling for several seconds. Then she got up, climbed out of bed, and walked out of the bedroom.

Su Yang had forgotten to turn off the living room lights. Li Yuanying cautiously peeked toward the door, then hurried over and pressed her ear against it.

A few seconds later, she opened the door and cautiously stuck her head out, looking both ways. Su Yang was nowhere to be seen in the hallway.

Li Yuanying bit her lip and smiled faintly before closing the door and walking into the bathroom...

Su Yang’s room was 608, but it was not a suite, so it was not directly above Room 508.

After returning to his room, he went into the bathroom, took off his clothes, and had a quick shower.

It was 12:45 a.m., still too early for him to go to sleep. He put on his pajama bottoms, left his upper body bare, and lay on the bed playing with his phone.

“Li Yuanying... Ha, she’s quite an interesting girl.”

Su Yang smiled and opened TikTok. He kept scrolling until 1:30 a.m., when he was about to put his phone away and go to sleep. Just then, the screen lit up with a new message.

“Hm?” He opened it and saw that Li Yuanying had sent him a message on Instagram.

“Su Yang, where are you?!”

“Why am I in a hotel room?”

Seeing the two messages, Su Yang laughed. “Ha-ha, she’s still pretending. She really should have become an actress instead of a singer.”

He typed back, “You’re awake?”

“I don’t know. I suddenly woke up.”

“You got drunk on the yacht earlier, so I brought you back to the hotel.”

“But... how did you know my room number?”

“I asked you. You were mumbling for ages before you finally told me.”

“Really? Then how did you get me back here?”

“I carried you back. You couldn’t even stand properly, so I had no choice but to carry you. Sorry about that.”

“I’m the one who should apologize. Sorry for troubling you. I should have listened to you and not drunk so much.”

Su Yang laughed. “It’s fine. We’re already back at the hotel anyway. Don’t even think about getting a proper rest—you need to be up at eight-thirty tomorrow morning.”

“Eight-thirty? Okay. Where are you now?”

“On top of you—no, I mean upstairs. I’m staying at the Peninsula Hotel too, remember?”

“Oh, right, right. I’ve had too much to drink, so my brain isn’t working properly.”

“Haha, I’ll let you go. Get some rest—it’s getting late. We’re leaving for Switzerland tomorrow.”

“Okay! See you tomorrow, then. I had a great time drinking with you tonight.”

“Me too. Good night.” After sending the message, Su Yang added a cute good-night emoji.

Li Yuanying replied, “Good night. Sweet dreams.”

Su Yang left the chat and stopped thinking about it. He placed his phone on the nightstand, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

The night passed without incident.

At exactly eight-thirty the next morning, Su Yang opened his eyes. He no longer needed to set an alarm; he was an alarm clock all by himself.

As long as he decided what time to wake up before going to sleep, he would automatically wake up right on schedule—down to the minute. This was probably another minor ability granted to him by the system.

The moment he woke up, his phone buzzed. Right on time, a message from Li Yuanying appeared.

“Su Yang, get up!”

“I just woke up. What time did you get up?”

“I got up at eight. I’m putting on my makeup.”

“Okay, take your time. I’m going to wash up, and then we’ll meet in the lobby.”
