Su Xiaoxiao was very excited and asked, "Really?"
“Of course. I never lie,” Li Yang said seriously.
"Okay. This will do then." Su Xiaoxiao stopped insisting, feeling deeply touched. She realized how much Li Yang valued her.
"Miss, I'd like a standard room." Li Yang said to the receptionist with a bright smile.
The receptionist, with her light makeup and professional smile, glanced at him and Su Xiaoxiao before suggesting, "A couple's room?"
Li Yang said seriously, "No. It's just a standard room, and she lives there alone."
"Besides, am I such a vulgar person? I would never do such a thing."
The receptionist hurriedly apologized, "I'm so sorry, sir. I'll give you a single room right away."
Su Xiaoxiao blushed with embarrassment and dared not show her face. She hid her beautiful face behind Li Yang, but her eyes were secretly taking in everything in the hotel.
It's so luxurious and extravagant! I never thought I'd be able to stay in a five-star hotel one day. My eyes welled up with tears. It was all thanks to Li Yang.
If she hadn't met Li Yang in this life, she couldn't imagine what would have happened. Perhaps after being captured and violated by those people, she would have become a cold corpse, reduced to ashes and forgotten, consumed by shame and indignation?
Where else can you stay in such a high-class hotel, with elegantly dressed female staff treating you with utmost respect? All of this was brought to me by Li Yang.
She raised her head slightly and gazed affectionately at the back of Li Yang's head. Hmm, he really is handsome, even the back of his head is so handsome!
Li Yang took the room key and went inside.
"What did I just see? A real-life Cinderella?" a waitress muttered enviously in a low voice.
"This girl is so lucky. I wonder which family's young master is this? He's so good at taking care of women!" another waiter exclaimed.
"What are you looking at? With your looks, you'll never have a chance!" the supervisor reprimanded mercilessly.

Chapter 105: Intimate Contact
Upon entering the room, Li Yang put Su Xiaoxiao down. The room was furnished with pristine white sheets, a soft and springy bed, and a clean, tidy, luxurious, and opulent ambiance.
"Rest for a bit. When you go in, everything you need for brushing your teeth, washing your face, and taking a shower is available in the room. Don't worry about anything, just use it. But be careful not to get your leg injury wet... Why are you crying?" Li Yang looked around the room while instructing Su Xiaoxiao. Damn, this was his first time entering a five-star hotel, and he had never stayed in one before.
Damn, no wonder it's a five-star hotel, it's awesome!
Turning around, he saw Su Xiaoxiao with tears streaming down her face, and he was immediately taken aback.
"What's wrong? Does your wound hurt? Or is something else bothering you?" Li Yang panicked immediately. Sister, the way you're crying makes it seem like I've done something to you. I'm not a sinner.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly shook her head, tears streaming down her face, and choked out, "I'm fine. I'm happy, really. I never thought I'd be able to live in a room like this one day. Since leaving my hometown and coming to this bustling metropolis, I've felt very inferior and confused. I've even fantasized about getting rich and living the life of a wealthy person, but I know those were just my wild dreams."
But, but now I'm actually living in a room like this, and without you, not only would I not be able to live in a room like this, I'd probably be a corpse or a pile of ashes by now. I'm really happy, I'm really happy right now..."
Li Yang scolded, "Those bastards will get their comeuppance sooner or later! Their doom is coming soon. Don't be nervous, you'll be fine soon."
"But, but now I don't want anything to happen to them." Su Xiaoxiao suddenly said with a strange and shy look in her eyes. After she finished speaking, her face and neck were already flushed red with embarrassment.
"Huh? What's going on?" Li Yang was also surprised and confused. Did she have a masochistic fetish?
“Because only in this way can you stay with me forever. Otherwise, you will disappear, or even forget me. I don’t want that, I don’t like that feeling!” Su Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up and stared at Li Yang with a deep affection in her eyes that was mesmerizing.
Li Yang was deeply moved. It seemed that he had really gone too far before. Perhaps he had only acted on impulse and helped Su Xiaoxiao. It was a small thing for him, but for Su Xiaoxiao, it was a life-saving grace. How could she forget it so easily?
And now, he had rescued her from the fire for the second time, saving her from imminent danger, which was tantamount to saving her life a second time, and even giving her such a nice place to live.
It would be strange if she weren't moved and fell in love with him.
Women often develop love out of pity or out of being moved.
Clearly, Su Xiaoxiao has truly fallen in love with Li Yang.
"Don't worry, from today onwards, I will never disappear without a trace again, and I will never leave you alone."
It's hardest to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman. She's so devoted; how could I possibly pour cold water on her feelings? Oh well, I guess I'll just let myself be blessed with good fortune in love. After all, I'm such a devoted person.
"Li Yang!"
Su Xiaoxiao excitedly hugged Li Yang's waist, her cheeks flushed, but her eyes were full of happiness and joy as she buried her head in Li Yang's arms.
Li Yang put his arm around her and stroked her smooth, long hair.
"It's getting late, you should wash up and get some rest." Li Yang looked up at the clock. Damn, it was almost 11 o'clock. If he didn't go back soon, he probably wouldn't be able to get back.
It's alright if I don't go to self-study today, since I'm going to have drinks with Mayor Song and Mayor Ye first. It'll be easier to explain if Sister Xin asks about it later.
If I keep staying out all night, I'll probably become a campus celebrity very soon. Ugh, I don't like that kind of thing.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxiao trembled, whimpered in agreement, and left his embrace to walk into the bathroom. It seemed that Li Yang was implying that she would spend the night there.
What does spending the night together mean? Anyone with a brain knows that it's truly bizarre for a lone man and a widow to be alone in a room with a large bed and not do what they want.
Although Su Xiaoxiao came from the countryside and had a very conservative mindset, once she decided that Li Yang was the man of her life, she was willing to give herself to him without any reservations.
So she went into the bathroom without hesitation.
"Xiaoxiao, you keep taking your medicine, I'll go buy you some clothes." Li Yang suddenly remembered that he hadn't bought her any clothes yet.
"Okay. I'll wait for you," Su Xiaoxiao replied softly.
Li Yang's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at the bathroom. Inside the frosted glass, Su Xiaoxiao was slowly and awkwardly taking off her clothes, after all, she had injuries on her legs.
