The food the innkeeper packed for Xu Ke was not only plentiful but also delicious, leaving Xu Ke exceptionally satisfied, feeling as though the whole day was complete.
Just as Xu Ke was planning to freshen up and go to sleep, the phone in the room rang—it was a call from the front desk.
"Your room fee expires tomorrow. Are you staying another night?" The irritated voice of the lady at the front desk came through the receiver.
"No, I won't be staying," Xu Ke replied.
He lowered his head, his long eyelashes hiding the light in his eyes, also hiding the slight curve of his lips.
He knew there was more than one surveillance camera in the room watching him, so all his actions needed to be cautious, revealing not the slightest hint of a flaw. Therefore, after hanging up the call with the front desk, he turned off the lights and hid himself under the covers.
In the darkness, although Xu Ke's eyes were closed, his mind was still active.
