Hide and Seek

Xua Ying Yue naturally will not be caught since she came here to save someone and not to become a damsel in distress, instead of going straight through the front entrance that was brightly lit. She turned on her heel and then turned to the darker and gloomier path that was only lit up by a few flickering yellow bulbs.

It was easier to walk in the darkness for her maybe it was her experience from the past or maybe it was because she has been born different from the rest. Silent and hardly showing any emotions on her face without being forced to do so, she walked past the dark wall and came to stop in front of the large board that was like a map of the hotel, most probably it was set up for the new workers who joined the hotel a few days ago. Xua Ying Yue looked at the board and spent some time memorising it before she walked towards the back door that led to the inside of the building which was neither tall nor small.

" What are you doing? Hurry! We need to bring this to the young master Ren's room!" As soon as she pushed the door ajar Xua Ying Yue heard the servers speaking hurriedly, she pulled the door close again and only left a small space to see them leave with a small table that moved on wheels. A bucket that was painted in silver with a wine bottle and ice on it, and next to it sat some ropes and what not, something clicked in the head of Xua Ying Yue when she saw those things on the table and she inwardly started to rethink all the calculations that she has made earlier.

She waited until the two servers were gone before she pushed the door open and then walked inside, her huge jacket which was old and worn out looked out of place with the red carpet that was on the floor. Xua Ying Yue did not stay in the same place as she had to chase after the servers who were pushing the cart.

She walked behind them making sure to keep a large enough distance where she will be able to hide in case the servers turned around but she did not move further away from the two servers lest she missed them. The two servers walked to the end of the corridor where stood an old-fashioned elevator with an iron gate and five marks that denoted the five-floor on top of it with a golden needle sticking towards the second floor.

Xua Ying Yue narrowed her eyes as she tried to see the number that the servers have pressed but when she could not she took her phone out and then clicked an image such that she will be able to trace the number better without the glare of the light.

"What's wrong?" One of the servers asked as he turned to look at the man who was standing next to him when he saw the latter turn his head and look at the corner of the corridor. He followed the gaze of the server and asked, " What are you looking at?"

The server who was looking at the corner of the corridor where the other corridor started and with a frown answered, " I think just now I heard something, like a snap of camera or something ."

" You might be mishearing things," the other server shook his head as he looked at his colleague. " There is no way that any paparazzi will enter this place. This hotel belongs to the Ren family, and you know how serious they are when it comes to keeping the privacy of their guests."

The server who was looking at the corner rolled his eyes and said, " Oh yes, but you forgot the major part… the privacy of their spoiled son."

" Hey shush now, if you keep saying things like that, I will not be able to save you the next time," said the other server as he pushed the cart into the elevator.

Xua Ying Yue looked at the blurred number that was displayed on the screen of her phone and then waited for the servers to leave before she started climbing the stairs on the right. Unlike the slow elevator, she was faster since she has been used to climbing stairs and the hotel was not that bigger at the current time.

She stopped at the fourth floor and watched the server knock on the door that had a three hundred and ninety-eight door plate. The door was pulled open and Si Yi who was half naked stepped aside letting the servers walk inside the room as he turned his head to look in the direction of where Xua Ying Yue was hiding.

With a deep breath, Xua Ying Yue hid further as she waited for Si Yi to go inside the room but the man continued to look where she was hiding before he started to make his way towards her.

Her eyes widened as she looked at Si Yi who was walking towards her and sucked her cheek as she looked around but not finding anywhere to find.

" What are you doing?" A voice interrupted Si Yi causing his pace to falter as the man and Xua Ying Yue both turned to look at Ren Nianzu who was standing at the threshold of the room with a towel arranged around his waist, water droplets dripping down his abdomen that was ripped and taut with nerves bulging and pumping. " Where are you going? Don't tell me that you are going to leave that mess for me to clean, I am not paying you toy."

" I wasn't bolting, I just thought I saw a girl hiding here," he pointed to the dark corridor that was leading to the fifth floor and Xua Ying Yue felt her heart falter. If these two came here then what will happen to her?
