Chapter 53 Rest

Li Cheng stood on the street, thinking about his whereabouts after his wallet was stolen. Looking at the getting dark sky, he understood that he would never be able to reach Changzhou City in one night.

Besides, he didn't eat much just now, and now he was a little hungry. He originally planned to find a place to have another meal, but now that his wallet had been stolen, he really had no choice.

Are we really going to have to sleep in the open air today? Li Cheng couldn't help but think this way.

Suddenly, he remembered Xu Ziwei who had deceived him and was still eating noodles in the alley.

As a gentleman, he would not do something that he had already promised to others and then regret it later. However, he had given Xu Ziwei so much money, but now he has enjoyed nothing.

It shouldn't be too much for me to go back to him now and ask him to continue to fulfill his original agreement, right?

However, since the meal provided by Xu Ziwei was indeed not that friendly, Li Cheng did not intend to be harsh on him. He just wanted Xu Ziwei to provide him with a place to rest for the night, and he would leave back to Changzhou City early tomorrow morning.

In this way, after Li Cheng made some mental preparations, he returned to the place where Xu Ziwei ate noodles.

Because he added a poached egg, Xu Ziwei has not finished his noodles yet, so after Li Cheng went back, Xu Ziwei was still eating his bowl of noodles.

Seeing Li Cheng coming back, Xu Ziwei couldn't help but wonder if Li Cheng had regretted it later and planned to ask him for the money. He hurriedly said:

"You need money or your life. Don't go back on what you said. This is not what a gentleman would do. You promised me, and I won't refund the money anyway."...

After hearing Xu Ziwei's words, Li Cheng couldn't help but think of his junior brother. It seemed that he also had such a character who wanted money rather than his life.

But he thought about it later and realized that his junior brother was different from Xu Jing. At least his junior brother didn't lie to others.

He told Xu Ziwei that he was not here to ask for money. Now that he had spoken out his words, he would never go back on his words.

"Then why are you back again?" Xu Ziwei asked doubtfully.

"I'm currently in a minor accident, so I hope you can provide me with a place to rest for the night before I leave early tomorrow morning.

I guess this won't be too troublesome, after all, you had to provide it to me before." Li Cheng replied with a smile.

Hearing that Li Cheng was not here to ask for money, Xu Ziwei breathed a sigh of relief.

I almost thought that the small amount of money I had just received was going to fly away. It was just a place to rest for one night. At the worst, I could let him and I share a room, Xu Ziwei thought in his heart.

In this way, Xu Ziwei agreed to Li Cheng's request, but he still didn't finish his noodles. After he finished eating, the two of them left the noodle stall together.

"Is this the place you were looking for to rest?" Li Cheng asked.

"Yeah, can't you? I think it's pretty good."

At this time, the two of them were standing at the door of a hotel where even the plaque on the door was almost falling off. It looked like an antique from many years ago. Li Cheng reached out and touched the pillar next to it, and it actually rubbed a lot on Li Cheng's hand.

ash.

Look at the door, and then look at the ashes that he had just shaken off but not shake off. Li Cheng really couldn't say that this place was okay against his will, but before he could protest to Xu Ziwei, Li Cheng was knocked out by Xu Ziwei.

Ziwei pulled her into the hotel.

After entering, Li Cheng felt that he had really underestimated Xu Ziwei. The inside seemed not as good as the outside.

After the two of them entered, it seemed that the boss was not there, and there was only a waiter who was dozing at the counter. Li Cheng saw Xu Ziwei gently pushing to wake up the dozing waiter, and then put his hand on the waiter's chest.

Stretch out in front of you.

Afterwards, the waiter was pushed awake. He rubbed his eyes and saw Xu Ziwei standing in front of him. He lowered his head and searched at the counter. Then he handed Xu Ziwei a bunch of keys, and then

He continued to doze off, seemingly not worried about being discovered by his boss.

Li Chengcheng wanted to persuade Xu Ziwei to find another place to rest, but before he could speak, he saw that Xu Ziwei had even got the key, so he had to shut up. After all, he didn't pay for it.

He doesn't yet have the confidence to ask Xu Ziwei to change rooms.

Soon, Li Cheng followed Xu Ziwei to the room upstairs. After Li Cheng came in, he looked around. It was very good. Although the hotel was quite simple and looked a bit old and shabby, the room looked tidy.

It was quite clean. Seeing this, Li Cheng finally had a smile on his lips.

It seems that I can have a good sleep tonight, Li Cheng thought in his heart.

But as soon as Li Cheng thought of this, he saw that Xu Ziwei was already taking off his clothes and going to bed. Seeing this scene, Li Cheng couldn't help but take a step back and asked: "You, you, you, what are you doing now?"

Hearing Li Cheng's question, Xu Ziwei replied without looking back: "Can't you tell? I'm taking off my clothes!"

"I know you are taking off your clothes. I am asking you, why are you taking off your clothes now?" Li Cheng said through gritted teeth.

"Isn't it already dark? I don't have anything to do. Of course I need to take off my clothes now to sleep. Don't you take off your clothes when you go to bed?" After saying this, Xu Ziwei looked at him in surprise.

Xiang Li Cheng seemed to be really curious about whether Li Cheng would really sleep without taking off his clothes.

Only then did I notice that it was already dark outside and it was indeed time to sleep.

But if Xu Ziwei sleeps here, then where should I sleep? Li Cheng thought in his heart. After all, he just followed Xu Ziwei on the road and didn't see him open the doors of other rooms.

Because there were still questions about this issue in his mind, when Li Cheng saw that Xu Ziwei had packed up and was lying on the bed, he couldn't help but ask:

"Xu Jing, did you forget something?"

After hearing what Li Cheng said, Xu Ziwei immediately replied: "No, I have packed everything."

Just when Li Cheng wanted to remind Xu Ziwei that he seemed to have forgotten such a big living person like Li Cheng, Li Cheng suddenly heard an "oops" coming from Xu Ziwei's side.

He thought Xu Ziwei finally remembered him, but he didn't expect Xu Ziwei to say such a thing.

"Oops, I actually forgot to find a noodle stall to give me a discount. I'm really at a loss today."

After finishing speaking, Xu Ziwei actually started talking to himself. Li Cheng didn't hear it clearly, but he vaguely seemed to hear Xu Ziwei saying that he must remember to ask the noodle stall owner to give him a discount next time.

"I said, do you really not regard me as a person? Do you really think that I don't exist? You don't even think about where I can sleep?"

After hearing this, Xu Ziwei was stunned for a moment. He felt very strange about Li Cheng's question. Didn't he say it? Xu Ziwei thought about it seriously, and it seemed that he had indeed forgotten to say it.

So Xu Ziwei smiled awkwardly, and then said sheepishly: "Well, I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten to tell you."

"So, where should I sleep?" Li Cheng asked, waving his hand.

"Well, the key is on the table. You can just take it and try it. See which room can be opened, and you can sleep in that room. But as a friendly reminder, no one has lived in those rooms for a long time. You may need to do it yourself.

Clean it up.

But if you don’t want to clean, you can choose to share a bed with me, but..."

Before Xu Ziwei could explain clearly, Li Cheng picked up the key on the table and walked out of the room, not forgetting to close the door for Xu Ziwei before leaving.

"The young man is just too impulsive and didn't wait for me to finish what I said, but it doesn't matter. I guess he doesn't want to share a bed with me. I hope he will think so when he sees the room."

After that, Xu Ziwei shook his head and went to sleep. After a while, Xu Ziwei fell into sleep.

And what about Li Cheng here? He was indeed just as Xu Ziwei thought. When he heard Xu Ziwei's first words, he made up his mind not to sleep with Xu Ziwei.

Li Cheng thought to himself, isn't it because no one has cleaned it for a long time? It's not that it can't be lived in. At worst, he can just clean it later.

Looking at the series of keys in his hand, Li Cheng thought, since he would be leaving tomorrow morning, he would just choose a room close to the stairs.

But when Li Cheng came to the door of the room, he selected the key according to the number on the key chain, and then inserted it into the keyhole. After trying several times, he could not open the door.

Li Cheng tried several times without believing it, but still failed, so he had to go to Xu Ziwei's room again and ask him what was going on.

Although Xu Ziwei had fallen asleep before, he had already guessed that Li Cheng would come to ask him questions, so he was not asleep. As soon as Li Cheng entered his room, he woke up.

"Tell me, what's the problem?" After finishing speaking, Xu Ziwei couldn't help but yawned.

Looking at the sleepy Xu Ziwei in front of him, Li Cheng also knew that disturbing people's dreams was not good, but didn't he have no choice? So he asked shamelessly:

"I want to know why the key doesn't match the door." After finishing speaking, Li Cheng smiled at Xu Ziwei.

After hearing this, Xu Ziwei slowly replied: "Oh, so that's what happened! When I was washing that key chain before, I took off all the keys. As a result, I forgot the order after washing, so those

I can’t tell the key apart either.”

"Then how did you open this door?" Li Cheng asked doubtfully.

"It's easy. I broke the lock of this room and then installed a new lock. I always carry the key of the new lock with me."

"So what's the point of asking the waiter for the bunch of keys?"

After hearing what Li Cheng said, Xu Ziwei had to explain: "I can't tell people openly that I changed their locks, right? I really feel like you are a bit stupid. Well, if there is nothing else,

I just went to bed and walked slowly without seeing you off."
