The grand escape

Lian set her glass down and approached the fallen man. "You should have taken the wine," she remarked.

"Quit taunting him and help me with his legs," Mei retorted.

Xiang Yu instructed, "Put him in my bed," before heading to his study to gather the essentials for his escape.

Lian and Mei dragged the unconscious mercenary to the bed. Lian tossed him onto it, and Mei removed his shoes. "Hurry up before they check in again," Lian urged.

Mei shot her a glare. "Do you want to swap?"

"No thanks," Lian replied, placing an identity changing device in the man's ear. "Then don't rush me," Mei retorted, finishing up and covering the man with a quilt.

"What about the body pillow?" Lian asked just as Xiang Yu reentered the room.

"No," Xiang Yu replied, his tone resolute. It was a hard no that came from the deepest depths of his soul.

"Master, you are supposed to make it more convincing," Lian protested.
