Chapter 101: Xiao Wu's Weakness, The Bed Problem (1)
"Are you staying here? But there's only one room, and there are two of us!"
At the Tulip Hotel in Notting City, Su Mo couldn't help but pretend to hesitate when he heard Xiao Wu say they would stay there.
"Two people are two people, so we don't have to sleep together. Didn't they say other hotels have no rooms left? It's getting late, let's eat first!"
Xiao Wu felt even more touched and embarrassed to find Su Mo so "gentlemanly." She quickly told him her plan and asked him not to take it too seriously.
"Well... okay."
In the end, after Xiao Wu's repeated requests, Su Mo could only nod and accept "reluctantly."
"You're really taking advantage of me! If I didn't think you were rich, I wouldn't cooperate like this!"
In the hotel lobby, witnessing the conversation between Su Mo and Xiao Wu, the receptionist behind the counter couldn't help but feel envy and jealousy.
As a man, seeing Su Mo bring such an innocent, cute, and charming little girl to open a room, the receptionist was filled with huge envy and jealousy.
Thanks to his professional ethics, he put aside his envy, jealousy, and moral integrity and helped Su Mo.
But he didn't expect Su Mo to use that help in such a way.
Su Mo didn't take advantage of the situation; instead, he pretended to be honest and tricked Xiao Wu, such a simple and cute little girl!
What audacity!
"Then, open a room for us, and we'll stay for a month!"
Thanks to the reception's help, Xiao Wu took the initiative to say they would stay. Su Mo naturally approached the counter and asked them to open a room.
"A VIP suite, a month's stay. Thank you for your preference! Ten gold coins!"
Upon hearing that Su Mo wanted to book a room, the hotel receptionist smiled with some irony, pulled a key from under the counter, and handed it over.
After taking the key, Su Mo took out a handful of gold coins from his soul guide, placed them on the counter, and left.
Although the reception had said the room fee was ten gold coins,
Su Mo put out twenty coins on the counter.
The reception knew this as well.
They quickly gathered all the gold coins from the counter and, after keeping their own share, the hotel staff was thrilled.
"Ha ha! Ten gold coins! That's equivalent to my salary for two or three years. This round is really profitable!"
Although Su Mo's clothes showed he was rich, the hotel reception never expected this little assistant to tip ten gold coins!
They had never heard of such a generous person in Notting City!
It seemed this young man must be from a great family; otherwise, he wouldn't be so wealthy!
After opening a room at the Tulip Hotel, Su Mo kept the key but didn't take Xiao Wu to see it immediately; instead, he prepared to take her out for dinner first.
Because it was already nighttime.
It would soon be dark.
Notting City is a small border town. There is no large Spirit Fighting field in the city, so business doesn't thrive at night.
He took Xiao Wu to have an early dinner so they could return to the hotel and continue tricking her.
After leaving the Tulip Hotel and strolling through bustling Notting City, Su Mo quickly took her to a restaurant called Tianshang Renjian.
There, he invited her to a big feast!
This abundant meal made Xiao Wu very happy and satisfied.
Since leaving the Great Xingdou Forest, it was the first time she had eaten so heartily and felt so full—even more delicious than when her mother was still around!
Of course! Her mother was right: although many humans are very bad, the food they've developed is really delicious!
But thinking of her mother, Xiao Wu became sad again.
"Come on. That's enough. We should go back. I'll take you out to play tomorrow."
Su Mo chuckled when he noticed Xiao Wu's sudden bad mood. He stood up, took out a handkerchief to wipe the oil stains from her mouth, then gently stroked her black hair and said with a kind smile:
"Yes."
Xiao Wu felt warmth in her heart seeing Su Mo treat her so gently. She couldn't help but nod with a slightly red face and took Su Mo's hand.
It should be said that every action Su Mo took toward Xiao Wu touched her weakness.
As we all know, Xiao Wu, being a soft-boned rabbit spirit beast of 100,000 years, should have a beast spirit father.
But in the original book, it was never mentioned at all, and Xiao Wu never mentioned her father, which shows her father must have died very young.
Therefore, Xiao Wu should have been raised by her mother, Arou, and considered a single-parent family.
Girls from single-parent families without a father usually lack security, tend to love their fathers, and like older men who know how to take care of others.
In Su Mo's opinion,
in the original work, one reason Xiao Wu fell in love with Tang San could be his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
Another important reason is that Tang San is more mature and stable, and very good at taking care of Xiao Wu. He can give her security, which can be considered a way to satisfy her paternalistic tendency.
But compared to Su Mo, Tang San's maturity and stability are a joke!
Compared to Tang San, Su Mo is more handsome, richer, and better at understanding girls' minds.
In this case, if Su Mo still can't get Xiao Wu, he might as well find a block of tofu to commit suicide!
On the other hand, after taking Xiao Wu to dinner, Su Mo took her back to the Tulip Hotel and opened the VIP suite he had reserved earlier.
After entering the VIP suite, it was clear the suite Su Mo had reserved wasn't small.
Especially the living room, which was very spacious, with two sofas:
one rectangular leather sofa, extremely wide, and another round one.
Besides the living room, this VIP suite also had a large bathroom with an enormous bathtub. It was absolutely comfortable to take a bath there!
However, such a large VIP suite had only one bedroom and one bed.
This made Xiao Wu a bit uneasy.
Although the bed was huge, it wasn't big enough for two or three people.
Thus, after returning to the hotel, Su Mo and Xiao Wu bathed one after the other.
But when they lay down, the problem finally appeared.
"That… Su Mo, you should sleep on this bed, I'll sleep on the floor!"
Wearing the adorable pink bunny pajamas she bought after dinner, Xiao Wu looked at the huge bed beside her after bathing, hesitated for a moment, and said.
"No! You should sleep on the bed!" Su Mo rejected Xiao Wu's words without even thinking.
"Don't be so quick to reject me. Whether from an adult-child perspective or a man-woman perspective, this bed should be yours."
"From the adult-child perspective, you are a little girl, only six years old, and I'm a man in my twenties. How could I, an adult man, sleep on the bed while you, a little girl, sleep on the floor?"
"And from the man-woman perspective, I'm a man and you're a woman. In this matter, men should yield to women, so you sleep on the bed!"
