At this moment, Xiaozhi's words rang in her mind again like a warning bell:

"Be careful, Hoshikawa Taku might attack you!"

Lupa swallowed subconsciously and glanced secretly at Hoshikawa Taku.

His expression was calm, relaxed and natural, with no sign of any "ill intention" at all.

But the more this happened, the more erratic Lupa's heartbeat became.

Is he deliberately letting his guard down?

Now he pretends to be a gentleman, but after sending Miao Meng away, he deliberately finds a hotel with only double rooms left, and uses all kinds of sweet words to convince himself to stay in the same room with him.

If I nodded in agreement and really slept in the same room with him, he would persuade me and trick me into bed without me realizing it...

Lupa was more nervous than scared.

If it really comes to that, should I refuse?

But if I really refuse, will he be unhappy? Will he think I am ungrateful?

Will he even... transfer me from an assistant to a cleaner?

Thinking of this, Lupa's expression became more complicated.

Lupa cherishes the opportunity she has now. She can make the music she likes, team up with Xiaozhi, and the salary level also satisfies her.

She didn't want to lose this job with great development prospects.

She is a mixed-race girl who came to Japan alone, with nothing and no one to rely on. She has done her best just to survive.

She has never had a boyfriend and has no interest in falling in love.

Although I sometimes feel "sexually repressed" and think about whether I should try having a relationship, every time I see my empty wallet, that desire is immediately extinguished by reason.

The main task now is to survive and work hard to make money.

Love is a luxury to her.

If the only way to stay is through "unspoken rules", Lupa would probably choose to submit.

After all, her "first time" was far less important than this job.

Besides... since it's Taku Hoshikawa's first time partner, it's not a loss at all.

During the years that Lupa lived in Japan, Taku Hoshikawa was the most outstanding young man she had ever met. His conversation, cultivation, ability, and family background were almost all top-notch among his peers. He could be said to be a genuine "high-quality man."

Even if Lupa finds a boyfriend later, he will probably be far inferior to Taku Hoshikawa.

In this case, if you can't refuse, why not enjoy this rare intimacy?

After all, although Hoshikawa Taku is a playboy, his character is still trustworthy and he will not dump me for no reason.

Even if he gets tired of me in the end, at least he will give me some "mental damage compensation".

Lupa had already prepared himself mentally, almost to the point of "self-strategy", but Miao Meng suddenly said:

"I don't want to go back. It's already so late, and I didn't contact my family in advance. Going back would only cause them too much trouble! I'll go home tomorrow during the day!"

This reason is so justified and perfect that it cannot be refuted.

Upon hearing this, Xingchuan Taku did not refuse. He nodded and said with a faint smile: "Well, good then, we will all stay in the hotel."

Hearing what Hoshikawa Taku said, Lupa felt an inexplicable sense of loss... as if he had lost a great opportunity.

……

After all, it was already late, and Hoshikawa Taku didn't go out of his way to look for an expensive five-star hotel. He just picked a hotel on the map that had good reviews and was relatively close, and took the two of them there to check in.

The hotel is not big, but it is clean and tidy, with a warm decoration. The receptionist greeted them with a smile.

Unlike Lupa's imagination, there was not only the "last king room". There were plenty of room types, reasonable prices, and everything you could need.

Taku Hoshikawa quickly booked a single room and a double room.

"I'll take a single room, and you two can take a double room."

Hoshikawa Taku said as if it was a matter of course.

"Okay, it's getting late today, go to bed early, and don't stay up too late, you two."

After waving goodbye to Lupa, Taku Hoshikawa took the door card and went to find his room. His back was neat and tidy, without any hesitation.

Lupa stood at the door of the double room, stunned for several seconds.

This... is all?

The "sweet talk", "power coercion" and "half-hearted consent" that she had expected did not happen. It seemed that she came to this hotel just to sleep.

Why do I feel a little lost?

It is obvious that the result is the most normal and reasonable arrangement, and Takuya Hoshikawa has not done anything that crosses the line. He is such a gentleman that there is no way to complain.

But it was this "impeccability" that made Lupa feel an indescribable meaning.

Could it be that I was really overthinking it, and he never had that kind of intention towards me?

Or... was it because of the additional Meow Dream that made him give up his original idea?

Miao Meng, who had already entered the room and was sitting on one of the beds browsing on her phone, suddenly felt a sense of resentment.

She looked up and saw Lupa looking at her with resentment.

"Lupa, what's going on?"

She tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"nothing."

Lupa smiled and covered it up, "Nothing, I just wanted to ask you who should take a shower first or me."

"You take a shower first. I'm a little slow in showering and I'm afraid I'll waste your time!"

"it is good."

Lupa nodded, took off her clothes and went into the bathroom.

Lupa took a quick shower, just ten minutes, and then came out wearing a bathrobe.

Just as Miao Meng said, she took a very slow shower and stayed in the bathroom for half an hour before coming out.

She also muttered that the shower gel in this hotel was not her favorite brand, otherwise she would have stayed longer.

Lupa was already lying on the bed ready to sleep, but Miao Meng was still there using the cosmetics she carried with her to do her pre-bedtime skin care work, applying a facial mask on her face while also applying body lotion on her thighs.

She is worthy of being a beauty blogger... She is really exquisite, no wonder her skin is so white, tender and soft.

In comparison, I am much more casual. Apart from my face, I basically don’t do any skin care.

That is, your skin is wheat-colored and the sunburn marks are not obvious, otherwise it is black and white in patches.

Suddenly, a ridiculous idea occurred to Lupa.

Could it be that... Taku Hoshikawa looks down on me because of my tan skin?

He actually prefers fair and tender delicate girls like Miao Meng?

Miao Meng noticed that there was a hint of envy and loss in Lupa's eyes. His eyes turned and a cunning cat-like smile appeared on his face.

She suddenly smiled and said to Lupa, "Lupa, am I disturbing you by staying here so suddenly? Actually, you and the boss originally wanted to stay in the same room... right?"

Lupa sat up straight, her tone a little panicked: "Of course not! Mr. Xingchuan and I...we don't have that kind of relationship!"

"Eh...really?"

Miao Meng's voice was full of teasing. "But why doesn't it feel like that to me? You've always been by his side. Wherever he goes, you're there. I thought you were the kind of personal assistant who even takes care of his health..."

"Really, really not!"

Lupa denied it again reflexively, even raising his voice a little.

Miao Meng asked twice just to observe Lupa's expression.

She could see that Lupa was more panicked than guilty, which meant that, at least for now, she was not close enough to him "to that extent."

If that’s the case, then it’s easy to say.

Miao Meng suddenly stood up and climbed onto Lupa's bed.

"Lupa, since you two aren't dating, can I ask you for a favor?"

"……What's up?"

"Lupa, we are friends, right?"

Miao Meng's voice suddenly became soft and sweet, like a coquettish kitten.

"Actually, I like Hoshikawa Taku. Lupa...can I ask you to be my wingman and give me some assists?"

Lupa was stunned for a moment.

Of course she knew that Miao Meng had a crush on Xingchuan Taku, but she didn't expect Miao Meng to say such words to her at this time.

She was silent for a long time before she said, "How can I help you? Don't you often wear a hip skirt to meet him in the manager's office? I thought you two were already together."

Miao Meng sighed with pretended regret.

"I wore a tight skirt on purpose to seduce him, but... even though I was so proactive, he only took advantage of me at most and didn't actually make a move on me."

"Later, I figured it out. The office isn't a suitable place for that kind of thing. If we could find a private place, maybe our relationship would take a step further..."

Miao Meng said, looking at Lupa, holding her hand, and pleading earnestly:

"Lupa, I think tomorrow after we finish dealing with Renna's problem, we can invite him to a love hotel under the pretext of filming some footage."

"Can you do me a favor? Send Niina away so that I can be alone with Hoshikawa."

Lupa's eyes widened as he looked at Meow Meng in surprise.

On the one hand, I was shocked by Miao Meng's boldness and straightforwardness, and on the other hand, there was the complex emotion in my heart that was hard to ignore - sour, contradictory, and even faintly... jealous.

It turned out that while she was still passively waiting to accept Taku Hoshikawa's attack, Miao Meng was already thinking about taking the initiative.

"I……"

Lupa looked embarrassed. "How can I help with this kind of thing? I'm just an assistant. The specific schedule is decided by the manager himself."

"I didn't ask you to keep Rencai by force. You just need to mention it to me when you have the chance."

Miao Meng said coquettishly, "Lupa, we are good sisters, right? Please help me. If I succeed in dating Xingchuan, maybe I can also say a word for you..."

Lupa's heart was in turmoil.

From a certain perspective, she and Miao Meng can be considered "rivals in love".

Do I really want to help Miao Meng?

But if I don't help, how can I refuse...

Lupa hesitated for a long time, and finally whispered: "...If there is a chance, I will help you."

"That's enough!"

Miao Meng smiled sweetly, like a successful little fox.

Lupa lay back down on the bed, turned sideways, and stared blankly at the edge of the bed.

This should be a situation where I feel relieved, but I always feel an indescribable sense of emptiness in my heart.

It was like an opportunity that might have belonged to her was snatched away by another girl.

No...she took the initiative to give that opportunity to someone else.

Lupa closed his eyes, but his brows were slightly furrowed.

She was destined to have a hard time falling asleep that night.

Chapter 293: Youthful spirit is something that cannot be regenerated.

Silent all night.

The next morning, several people enjoyed the Japanese breakfast provided by the hotel.

Miao Meng was as energetic as ever, and took selfies with her bowl of rice in her hands with great interest.

On the contrary, Lupa looked listless, holding up his head, and the faint dark circles under his eyes showed that he had stayed up late.
