The restroom floor was dirty, so the cleaner had splashed detergent all over it to prepare for mopping it . Hence, the ground was extremely slippery where there was detergent .
The sign had been meant to give warning about the slippery floor .
Sun Linan had stepped on the slippery area and fallen flat on his face .
His clothes were soiled, and in addition⌠why did the dirt on the ground smell weird?
Just at that point, the cleaner returned and hurried towards Sun Linan . âSir, are you okay? Let me help you up!â
With the cleanerâs help, Sun Linan pushed himself up . âWhat on earth is this?â
The cleaner replied, â⌠A customer had too much to drink and has just thrown up . ââUgggh!â he gagged . On hearing this, Sun Linan almost threw up .
The smell on him was too much and he quickly removed his jacket . But there was puke on his trousers too .
He couldnât possibly remove his trousers as well .
He gritted his teeth with anger . âIf someone had too much to drink, then you guys ought to have cleaned up properly!â
âThis- I- I had just mopped it once and went to get a refill of clean water . â
âWell then put up a sign of warning, for goodnessâ sake!â Sun Linan hollered angrily, âYour hotel is so irresponsible!â
The cleaner was on the verge of tears . âI did put up a sign . Itâs true . See? Here it is . â
Sun Linanâs gaze followed the direction that the cleaner was pointing at and eventually fell on the sign . It had originally been placed in a conspicuous location, but somehow it had gotten moved to the side . âCrap! Who has been so unethical!?â
Qiao Lian was feeling uneasy, sitting alone in the private room .
Shen Liangchuan and Sun Linan had both gone to the washroom . Given Sun Tziâs personality, would there be trouble?
But there was nothing she could do . She couldnât possibly walk into the male washroom .
As she was considering her options, the private roomâs door was swung open and Shen Liangchuan walked in .
Qiao Lian quickly studied his expression in search of any signs of anger .
The verdict wasâŚHe looked calm . There was no sign of gloom at all .
So had anything happened while the two men had gone to the washroom?
She looked in the direction of the doorway awkwardly . No Sun Linan . Unable to wait any longer, she asked, âWhereâs Sun Linan?â
âHe was behind me . â
Qiao Lian nodded as Shen Liangchuan continued, âBut I think he might not be coming back in . â
Right after these words, his cell phone rang .
He took a look at the phone screen and raised an eyebrow . After picking up, he put the call on speaker and placed the cell phone on the table .
âXiao LianâŚâ it was Sun Linanâs voice on the other end .
Qiao Lian was surprised . âYes?â
âI suddenly remembered that I need to attend to an urgent matter, so Iâll have to leave first . But weâve agreed⌠to meet up again tomorrow . â
Qiao Lian was stupefied and lifted her gaze to glance at the calm and collected Shen Liangchuan . For some reason she felt a little anxious . âAre you okay?â
â⌠No problem! What could have possibly gone wrong? Iâm perfectly fine . Iâll leave now and look for you at the news agency tomorrow, bye!â
After he said these words, he hung up .
Qiao Lian thought, âWhat exactly had happened?â
âWhat could have happened?â thought Shen Liangchuan . âHow would he dare appear before her in soiled clothes?â
Of course, he didnât say anything out loud . He looked at the feast laying before them . Then, picking up a piece of sweet and sour pork and placing it on Qiao Lianâs bowl, he told her, âHere, have more . â
Qiao Lian was still stumped .
