"Only the last room?"
Chu Chengzhou raised an eyebrow.
Really, only the last room?
It seemed like the owner of the Rose Hotel was quite the businessman.
Compared to booking two rooms, which would seem like halving the room fee, you can't look at it that way.
If two rooms were booked, who would come back next time?
But if only one room is available, the woman might not come back, but the man most likely would.
The receptionist emphasized, "Yes, only one room left. But don't worry, our rooms are quite spacious, fully equipped, and more than enough for two people."
As he spoke, he gave Chu Chengzhou a knowing look.
Chu Chengzhou understood the implication but didn't show any reaction, keeping up the appearance of not knowing what the receptionist meant. As for whether Xiao Wu understood, that was unknown.
"One room is fine. Didn't we always stay in the same dorm room at Notting Academy? What's the big deal? We can save some money for good food and pretty clothes!"
Xiao Wu said nonchalantly.
Perhaps she thought the room was a double room with two beds?
"Alright, one room then," Chu Chengzhou said to the receptionist.
"Sir, your room is on the top floor, the door number is Pink Tenderness, and the cost is ten gold soul coins per night."
The receptionist smiled.
The "last room" at the Rose Hotel was a matter of personal judgment.
Those who looked well-off and appeared to have money were usually given the last room on the top floor, unless those rooms were already full. Otherwise, the cost was ten gold soul coins per night.
For those who appeared average and didn't seem too wealthy, the "last room" would be on the second floor, costing five gold soul coins per night.
If someone couldn't even afford five gold soul coins, then unfortunately, there were no other rooms at the Rose Hotel.
Although Chu Chengzhou and Xiao Wu came from small towns, their appearance and aura were outstanding. As the headmaster of Notting Academy, Su Nan wasn't short of money either. The two of them, despite looking a bit young, exuded the aura of someone wealthy.
So, naturally, the "last room" was on the top floor.
Ten gold soul coins were within Chu Chengzhou's budget. Before coming to Soto City, his grandparents had given him quite a few gold soul coins. Ten was nothing.
Besides, he already had a plan for making money, so this small amount wasn't worth worrying about.
However, Chu Chengzhou couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Why hadn't he run into the "Time Management Master" who could double his happiness? He had been hoping to learn a few tricks from him!
Soon, after completing the check-in process and receiving the key, Chu Chengzhou led Xiao Wu upstairs.
"Tsk~, these young people these days..."
The receptionist shook his head as he watched the two walk upstairs and then returned to reading his book, "The Story I Can't Tell the Queen."
On the top floor of the Rose Hotel, Chu Chengzhou quickly found the door with the Pink Tenderness sign.
There weren't many rooms on the top floor, only a few, and each had names like Blue Enchantress, Yellow Sincerity, White Innocence, Green Farewell, and Red Ocean.
The door was decorated with pink crystal roses, and beside it was a vertical sign with small text: "Pink Tenderness, Gentle Love."
Chu Chengzhou had already been prepared for this, but Xiao Wu, who was sometimes very perceptive, was a bit slow to catch on this time. She finally realized that the Rose Hotel wasn't exactly a regular hotel.
The two exchanged a glance and, after a brief silence of three seconds, Xiao Wu blushed, grabbed the key from Chu Chengzhou's hand, and opened the door, rushing inside.
Chu Chengzhou smiled and followed her in.
Though he had been prepared, he was still a bit surprised when he saw the room.
The room was huge, with the living room alone occupying over fifty square meters.
The furniture was all silver, intricately carved, and the pink carpet was adorned with raised patterns of roses. The most surprising part was the massive pink heart in the center of the room, made entirely of roses.
The heart was about two square meters in size, likely requiring nearly a thousand roses to create.
Above the heart, a delicate ribbon hung, with the words: "999, Eternal Love."
Apart from the 999 roses, there were vases scattered around the room, each filled with pink roses. The rich fragrance of the flowers filled every corner, creating an intoxicating and mesmerizing atmosphere.
"How do you like it? If you don't like it, I can have them remove the flowers," Chu Chengzhou said, reaching up to gently stroke Xiao Wu's rabbit ears.
"Ah~!"
Feeling the warmth on her ears, Xiao Wu shrieked, snapping out of her shock.
She slapped Chu Chengzhou's mischievous hand away and scolded, "Chu Chengzhou, you're so silly! What girl doesn't like roses? You're so clueless. How are you ever going to find a wife?"
"You don't know this, but my grandmother already found me a wife years ago," Chu Chengzhou said with a meaningful smile.
"What? Your grandmother already found you a wife?" Xiao Wu's eyes widened in disbelief. Chu Chengzhou already had a wife? How come Xiao Wu didn't know?
"Yep, she's been living with my family for years, eating our food, staying with us, and calling my grandparents 'grandpa' and 'grandma.' Isn't she my wife?"
"Wha... nonsense, that's not true!"
Xiao Wu, realizing what Chu Chengzhou meant, flustered and stammered.
"No? Don't you know if it's true or not?" Chu Chengzhou teased, poking Xiao Wu's forehead.
"Hmph~! Xiao Wu hasn't agreed yet!"
Xiao Wu quickly ran into the bedroom, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Chu Chengzhou chuckled, waiting a few minutes before following her into the bedroom, expecting her to calm down a bit.
As expected, the bedroom only had one bed, but it was huge, taking up almost half of the room's space. The bed was heart-shaped.
Pink curtains hung from the ceiling, creating a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere above the heart-shaped bed.
At that moment, Xiao Wu was lying on the bed, her head buried deeply in the pillow.
Was she... hiding her face?
