Chen Xiao did indeed faint quite early on.
He had been struggling to hold on against the formidable enemy, but as soon as Lao Tian and the others arrived, Chen Xiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. With this relaxation, the heavy fatigue that had been building up over him caused him to close his eyes and lose consciousness.
The old guys were having a great time fighting, but Chen Xiao didn't notice at all.
When he woke up again, he immediately felt that his body was immersed in water.
This familiar feeling brought him a sense of relief.
Hmm... it's probably Lao Tian again, throwing me in the bathtub to soak in cell repair fluid.
It seems like this happens every time I get injured.
But when Chen Xiao opened his eyes, he was stunned!
This is definitely not that underground secret room in the abandoned street!!
I was indeed soaking in the bathtub.
But the bathtub was bright and clean, and my body was soaking in water—yes, it was just water, not that green cell repair fluid!
Although there were bubbles floating on the water... Chen Xiao immediately recognized that these bubbles were just made by ordinary bath salts.
So, you mean... you're taking a "bubble bath"??
Although his body was submerged in water, Chen Xiao immediately realized that he was naked!
Next to the bathtub was an exquisite washbasin, a huge mirror, and a high-end toilet, I think it was a Kohler brand...
The bathroom is large and spacious...
However, Chen Xiao immediately recognized from the decorations and furnishings that this looked like the bathroom in a suite of a high-end hotel!
Uh... I remember, just a moment ago, I was lying on the ruins of the street, right?
Chen Xiao took a deep breath and stood up from the water.
He examined his body carefully.
Excellent, perfectly intact, smooth skin, not a single scratch left, and... very clean!
It felt like all the grime on my body had been washed away! Red marks from the scrubbing still remained on my skin…
A soft, dry bath towel hung prominently nearby, along with a white bathrobe.
After cleaning herself up, Chen Xiao put on a bathrobe and went into the bathroom.
Looking at this place, he was certain once again.
Yes, this is indeed a suite in a luxury hotel!
A spacious, luxurious suite, exquisite crystal chandeliers, soft carpets, sofas...
A large double door next to it was ajar. Inside was a bedroom, and Chen Xiao could see a large bed through the crack in the door.
On the bed, under what appeared to be a white blanket, lay a figure... Hmm. Judging from the outline, it looked like a person.
He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively called out.
Is anyone there?
Finally, at Chen Xiao's call, the person on the bed stirred.
Gently lifting the covers, the person on the bed stretched, her supple body relaxing like a newly blossoming begonia, her long, black hair cascading down one side of her head. The girl, wearing a white robe, sat up slightly, raising her arms. She murmured, "Mmm... I slept so soundly..."
Chen Xiao was stunned.
The girl's profile... that familiar silhouette made Chen Xiao's heart race. He opened his mouth and asked, "Is anyone there?"
The girl on the bed finally turned her head. Her beautiful face held a hint of languid sleepiness, and her stretching posture was even more alluring and adorable. Her eyes clearly saw Chen Xiao, but she deliberately smiled and slowly recited:
"Who awakens first from the great dream? I know myself best. I sleep soundly in my thatched cottage in spring, while the sun lingers outside the window."
After she finished speaking, she jumped off the bed...
In that instant, Chen Xiao seemed to see a pair of smooth, white calves and a pair of white little feet.
The girl walked gracefully in, pushed open the bedroom door, and looked at Chen Xiao with a half-smile: "Hello."
"You... hello." Chen Xiao swallowed, touched his nose, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing: "You... I... Phoenix, you..."
"I'm the one who brought you here."
Phoenix blinked: "You're so badly injured... it breaks my heart to see you like this."
Despite being filled with questions, Chen Xiao suddenly calmed down when he looked at Phoenix's smiling face.
Regardless, he firmly believed one thing:
The girl in front of me, the one I love... she would never harm me!
Turning my head to look out the window...
It was quite bright outside; judging from the sun, it must have been around noon.
Chen Xiao chuckled: "You were just reciting a poem by Zhuge Liang, weren't you? Are you even smarter than Zhuge Liang?"
"Pah, they're all exhausted." Phoenix glared at him. "You have no idea how easy it was to bring you here! Those old guys are all monsters, and I didn't want to alert them..."
