Chapter 27 Let's do it!
hiccup~
Chen Xun let out a loud burp without any restraint!
The food is expensive, but it's definitely delicious!
I glanced at my phone screen; it was 2:07 AM.
At this time of day, should I call a taxi from Beverly Hills back to that remote industrial motel?
Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
The fare is estimated to be exorbitant, and it's questionable whether the driver will even be willing to travel that far.
Going back to that room filled with the smell of disinfectant, where the sheets might not even have been changed properly?
What picture?
He glanced again at the closed bedroom door in the suite; it was completely silent inside.
Christine looked like she was completely fast asleep.
The waiter has just finished cleaning the room.
Underfoot was a soft, thick carpet that you could almost sink into.
Looking around:
Spacious, quiet, with a comfortable temperature and fresh air.
The huge L-shaped sofa in the living room looked ten times more comfortable than the mattress in his motel.
"Damn it, I'm not leaving!"
Men should treat themselves better!
Anyway, the filming just wrapped up, and there are no plans for the next few days. There's also no new information from Rob.
I'll sleep in until I naturally wake up tomorrow and then stroll back; nobody can stop me.
Just do it!
He first went to the bathroom to wash up quickly, using the hotel's luxury toiletries, which he felt were much more luxurious than his own nearly empty tube of cheap toothpaste.
Then he returned to the living room and began setting up his makeshift bed.
He removed several decorative cushions from the sofa and tested its softness and length.
perfect!
It was enough for him to straighten his legs.
Chen Xun peeked into the bedroom again to make sure Christine wasn't moving, then quietly took a clean spare blanket and a fluffy pillow from the closet.
His movements were so practiced, like a habitual hotel offender.
Carrying his spoils back to the living room, he fluffed up the pillows, lay down comfortably on the sofa, and pulled the blanket up to his chest.
The sofa offers excellent support, the fabric is soft and skin-friendly, and the pillow height is just right.
Compared to his creaking, sunken bed, this place was paradise.
Turn off the main light and leave only a dim wall lamp in the hallway. This way, it won't be too bright to affect sleep, and it will be convenient to get up at night.
Lying in the darkness and silence, my body was extremely exhausted, but my mind was somewhat excited by the night's ordeal and the change of environment.
Chen Xun turned over and faced the back of the sofa.
The faint, clean scent of high-quality fabrics was what I smelled, not the faint musty smell of a motel.
Chen Xun could hear his own steady breathing.
This five-star comfort enveloped him like a warm tide, and combined with the fatigue he had accumulated and the aftereffects of alcohol, his excitement was gradually replaced by a strong drowsiness.
His thoughts became blurred, and his consciousness sank into darkness.
I slept so soundly that I didn't even dream.
There was no noise from the motel next door, no commotion from drunkards in the hallway at night, and no anxiety about making a living the next day.
Chen Xun was awakened by the sunlight streaming through the gaps in the heavy curtains.
He groggily opened his eyes, and it took him a while to get his brain working again, confirming that he was still lying on the luxurious sofa in the Christine Suite.
My body felt like it had been reset, I felt lighter than ever before, and the fatigue and hangover from last night were completely gone.
He reached for his phone and glanced at the time:
11:07 AM!
Good guy!
I slept really soundly!
He sat up and rubbed his eyes.
Just as I was about to slip away quietly, my gaze was drawn to the scene at the dining table in the living room.
Two exquisite breakfasts were laid out on the table.
One serving had already been used; the empty plate and coffee cup were pushed aside.
The other one was placed perfectly intact on the opposite side.
The main plate was covered with an insulated lid, along with a small basket of croissants, a small dish of butter and jam, and a drink that looked like orange juice.
Next to the empty plate, there was a sticky note.
Chen Xun's heart skipped a beat.
He walked over and picked up the paper.
The handwriting on the paper is somewhat messy, but still legible:
"Thank you for your help last night, driver!"
Breakfast is on me!
PS: Your phone rang several times from the same number. It was very noisy. I answered, and a girl named Li Suyan answered. She sounded very anxious. You'd better call back.
—— K”
Chen Xun stared at the note, his mind going blank.
K？
Christine?
Did she answer Lee So-yeon's call?
He quickly picked up his phone, unlocked the screen, and sure enough, saw several missed calls from Lee So-yeon, the earliest one being from around 8 a.m.
Chen Xun felt a headache coming on!
Does anyone know what those two talked about?
He scratched his hair in frustration.
But there's no point in worrying about that now; let's fill our stomachs first.
He looked at the free breakfast, which looked quite good, and decided he couldn't waste it.
Remove the insulation cover.
Inside is Eggs Benedict, with an enticing Hollandaise sauce, and a poached egg perched precariously on a bed of English waffles and Canadian bacon, served with roasted asparagus.
The croissant looks crispy and fluffy.
He sat down and began to eat.
When you cut an Eggs Benedict, the yolk flows out, mixing with hollandaise sauce and bacon, creating a rich and layered flavor. The croissant has a crispy exterior and a soft interior.
The breakfast at the five-star hotel was of a high standard.
As Chen Xun enjoyed the delicious food, he felt his mood calm down a bit. At least this free breakfast was a real benefit.
Quickly finish breakfast and tidy up the plates.
Chen Xun took a breath and dialed Li Suyan's number.
The call was answered almost instantly.
"Oppa!!!!"
Lee So-yeon's voice pierced the eardrums, carrying an extremely high decibel level and indescribably complex emotions:
"You finally called back! Are you alright? Where are you now?"
A barrage of questions rained down on him like cannonballs. Chen Xun moved his phone a little further away.
"I'm fine, I just woke up!"
Chen Xun tried to keep his voice calm: "I'm staying at a friend's place for the night. I drank too much at the wrap party and it's inconvenient for me to go back."
"When are you coming back? I think I really did set the kitchen on fire a little bit, and the smoke alarm went off again..."
Lee So-yeon's tone softened slightly.
Chen Xun rubbed his forehead.
He knew it.
"I'll pack up and go back. Until I get back, stay away from the kitchen and don't touch anything!"
He issued the order.
"Okay~"
Lee So-yeon muttered, "Then hurry back!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xun let out a long sigh of relief.
He looked around the suite again to make sure he hadn't left any of his belongings behind.
Open the room door and leave the hotel!
Standing in the sunlight outside the hotel, he glanced back at the luxurious building.
I wonder when I'll be able to have a room here!
Standing on the excessively clean streets of Beverly Hills in the early morning, Chen Xun took a deep breath of the air, which was supposedly "rich in negative oxygen ions," and then decisively walked toward the nearest bus stop.
It would cost seventy or eighty dollars to take a taxi back!
Just thinking about it makes my wallet ache!
Public transportation is still the most economical and practical option!
Although he knew that returning to Koreatown from this "Golden Triangle" would be a long and arduous journey.
He checked the map; the route was winding.
First, take a local bus down the mountain, then transfer to another bus heading towards the city center. You might have to make another transfer before you can even get to the edge of Koreatown.
It is estimated to take one and a half to two hours, and that is without traffic jams or waiting for a car.
