A few hours later.
In Mosuland.
The hotel that the few of them booked was the best in Mosuland. The safety, comfort, and vision on the 30th floor were perfect. They could look down from above.
The group went to the front desk to get the room card. The room had been booked in advance.
Stella already had a room card in her hand. She had already booked it early before. "As your senior, I won't be sharing a room with you. I'm used to sleeping alone and am not used to having another person by my side." She was telling the truth.
Olivia said regretfully, "Well, I was still thinking about the three of us sharing a room."
Stella shook the room card in her hand. "Your young and beautiful auntie has a strange habit. I like to sleep alone. Otherwise, why would I still be single? Right? You don't understand. Don't imitate me."
In case Sherri and Natalie said that she had led the child astray.
"Alright then." Olivia held two room cards in her hand and asked, "Jasper, Stella will have a room. I'll share a room with Ruby so we can chat at night. Do you want to share a room with Liam or a separate room?"
Without waiting for Liam to open his mouth, Jasper decided. "Give him this room. I'll get another one."
"No, Jasper. You're despising me. Firstly, I don't snore. Secondly, I don't grind my teeth. Thirdly, I don't talk in my sleep. I'm a good sleeping partner."
Jasper turned a deaf ear to Liam's boasting. He took out his identity card and registered it at the front desk. He glanced at the room card in Olivia's hand and replied with a normal expression, "I don't have the habit of sleeping in a room with others. There's no need to feel inferior. It's my problem."
Hearing this, they all laughed. Stella joked, "Jasper, then if you have a girlfriend in the future, you won't be used to it, right?"
Then, Stella advised, "Don't learn from me. I am a celibate."
Jasper was silent for a few seconds before replying, "I won't."
Liam took the room card that Olivia handed over and complained. He wanted to play games with Jasper in the same room, but Jasper actually despised him. "You're putting your friends before your lover."
Stella patted Liam's shoulder like a big sister and comforted him. "Don't worry, you're fine. There's nothing wrong with sleeping alone. Look at me. I'm all alone. Imagine the big bed in your mind. It's so comfortable for you to toss and turn alone. I only advised you to sleep alone. I didn't ask you to learn to be celibate. I repeatedly made it clear."
Liam said, "Stella, don't worry. I don't intend to be a monk."
As soon as he said this, Ruby suddenly patted his shoulder. "What are you talking about? If you're bored, come and play with me and Olivia."
"Got it. Give me the suitcase. If Dad finds out that you're carrying the suitcase yourself, my allowance for this month will be in danger. Give it to me. I'm just joking, right, beautiful Stella?"
Stella pushed the luggage and led the way to the 30th floor. "That's right. You have to smile when you're alive. Don't think too much."
As they spoke, the receptionist returned his identity card to Jasper. "Sir, this is the room you reserved previously."
Olivia and Liam asked in unison. Their voices suddenly rose. "Jasper, did you book a room long ago?"
Jasper replied without changing his expression, "Yes, it was decided last night."
"Which floor did you book? Which room? Let me see. It can't be very far from us, right?" Liam leaned over to take a look. When he saw the room card clearly, he picked up his room card in disbelief and looked at it. He compared it and said in surprise, "Did you book the room according to Olivia? It's actually next door to ours."
Apart from Stella, the other people's rooms were all reserved by Olivia. Yesterday, she even asked her brother if she should book a room for him in advance. Her brother said that he would talk about it later.
She asked suspiciously, "Jasper, have you seen my phone booking records?"
Jasper pushed his luggage towards the elevator. Olivia and Liam, who were beside him, kept asking. He only replied simply, "No, I casually ordered it. There's an empty room, so I'll place an order."
Ruby followed behind with a faint smile. She bent her right index finger to the tip of her nose and hid her smile. She placed one hand on her bag. Olivia did not have a bag. Her only phone was in her pocket. She held the room card in her hand and was empty-handed.
Jasper pushed a suitcase in one hand and stepped into the elevator. Ruby followed behind. Jasper suddenly moved his feet to the right and stood naturally in front of Ruby. Ruby naturally came behind him. He protected Ruby with one hand and held the suitcase with another hand. The people who came in behind could not even see Ruby's face.
Behind him, Ruby's lips curved into a smile as she looked at the man's tall back view. She felt very safe.
On the 30th floor, other than Stella's room, which was split from others', the other three rooms were in order, Olivia, Jasper, and Liam.
Before entering the room, as an senior, Stella held the suitcase with one hand and placed the other on the doorknob. The door had already opened, and she said seriously, "If any of you want to go out, you have to tell me. I'm responsible for you, okay?"
Olivia made an OK gesture to Stella and agreed.
Seeing that the children agreed, Stella opened the door with relief and entered her room.
At night, at the famous night market in Mosuland.
The night market in every city was different, and the contents of the scenery were also different. The night market was a place that many tourists wanted to visit.
