The Landlady and The Amnesiac

49

They left at seven in the morning and didn’t arrive until seven in the evening.

Not to mention Luo Bei, even Zhou Jianguo, who was only sitting in the car, felt like his body was falling apart.

Even though children usually sleep late, luckily Luo Bei had calculated the traffic time beforehand, so she told Fang Jingzhou that they would pick him up tomorrow to play. The small county town was developing well and had quite a few hotels. After all, it was not a tourist city, so even during the National Day Golden Week, there were still rooms available. Luo Bei had only booked one room. It was only when she handed over his ID card for registration that Zhou Jianguo realized the seriousness of the situation.

After all, his ID card was fake. If he handed it over for registration at the hotel, it would definitely be discovered on the spot…

If the hotel staff didn’t care, that would be fine. But if they did, it would be troublesome. Zhou Jianguo didn’t want to take that risk.

Luo Bei naturally opened his hand and said to Zhou Jianguo, “Here, give me your ID card, and I’ll book another room for you.”

In an instant, Zhou Jianguo shook his head and pulled Luo Bei to the side, whispering, “I won’t stay in the hotel. I won’t be here for more than a day or two anyway. How about this, since the weather isn’t hot now, I’ll just spend the night in the car. As for showering, I’ll take care of that in your room. We’re going to open a car beauty salon, right? We can save some money this way.”

If it were before, Luo Bei would have immediately paid for another room for him without saying a word, but now…

“Is it necessary to be so thrifty?” Luo Bei pretended to not know anything, but it was also a test of his acting skills. “A single room is only two hundred yuan.”

Zhou Jianguo immediately said, “Two hundred yuan is just like adding fuel. It’s just a travel expense. I’m a man, sleeping in the car for one night is nothing. When starting a business, we have to save some money. There will be plenty of places to spend money in the future. I know Chen Lan’s mother well. It won’t be a problem for me to sleep on the floor at her house tomorrow night.”

“Okay, then,” Luo Bei reluctantly agreed.

“I’ll go to your room later to brush my teeth and wash my face and take a shower.” Zhou Jianguo thought for a while and said, “This hotel looks average, but we don’t know if it’s safe. If anything happens, just give me a call.”

“Okay.”

Zhou Jianguo was actually quite upset with himself. How could he have not thought about the accommodation issue? Fortunately, he would only be here for two nights at most and would go back soon…

Although he could sleep in the car, Zhou Jianguo was tall and big. After getting up early in the morning, his whole body ached.

Originally, Luo Bei planned to have breakfast before going to find Fang Jingzhou, but she just got up and her phone rang. It was Fang Jingzhou calling. His grandmother was also on the phone, saying that this child had been asking her for the past few days. If it weren’t for her stopping him, he would have called her before 5 o’clock in the morning.

There was no other way. Fortunately, the small county town was not very big. Luo Bei drove with Zhou Jianguo to Fang Jingzhou’s house.

Just as they arrived at his house and before changing into slippers, Fang Jingzhou rushed over like a small missile, tightly hugging Luo Bei’s waist and affectionately rubbing against her, “Beibei, I miss you so much!”

Luo Bei also missed Fang Jingzhou a lot, as they hadn’t seen each other for months.

She squatted down, and the two hugged each other, a touching scene.
