Chapter 555: Chapter 555: Presidential Suite
Knowing that Song Yuting was worried about money, Xu Xiangbei smiled and said: "Yes, it’s really hard to book a hotel here. Fortunately, I’m a member of United Hotel. As a member, I can book any hotel and enjoy a 30% discount."
Song Yuting asked worriedly: "Even with a 30% discount, a presidential suite isn’t cheap, right? How much is it with the 30% discount, Miss attendant?"
"Five thousand yuan a night."
Song Yuting smiled wryly: "It’s still so expensive with the discount. Are there no other rooms available?"
The attendant smiled and replied: "Because there are many reservations tonight, only the presidential suite is left. Rest assured, since you’re staying in the presidential suite, our service is the best. We’ll send you a bottle of champagne worth a thousand yuan and a fruit platter. Enjoy your stay."
Xu Xiangbei gently held Song Yuting’s hand: "Ting Ting, let’s stay here. I’ll help you to the elevator."
The presidential suite was spacious and bright, with precious first-layer leather sofas outside. Sitting on them felt soft and comfortable, as if surrounded by soft cotton.
On the coffee table were a few branches of lily flowers as white as snow, with a light and elegant fragrance, and a beautifully packaged bottle of champagne placed in a wooden bucket. Underneath the bucket, there was a scented card with a merchant’s message, hinting that there were prepared ice cubes in the fridge.
Xu Xiangbei turned on the stereo, and the piano sound of the serenade mixed with the violin, creating distinct sound layers with a rich bass.
He reclined on the sofa, turned over two crystal-clear goblets, and poured golden champagne.
The aroma of champagne instantly spread, mixing with the floral scent, making Song Yuting feel particularly relaxed. She willingly let Xu Xiangbei hold her slender, snow-white hand and sat beside him.
Xu Xiangbei gently shook the champagne, letting the ice cubes melt faster. Under the light of the pale yellow spotlight, through the goblet in his hand, champagne foamed slightly, merging with the melting ice cubes, like layers of waves rolling and surging in the wine glass.
He placed the champagne in Song Yuting’s hand and gently said: "Cheers," with his deep, magnetic voice.
Although Song Yuting couldn’t see, the beautiful music, the gentle aroma of champagne, and the fragrance of lilies in the room made her feel an unprecedented romance.
She drank the champagne, sweet as nectar, which stimulated every cell in her body. Her hand holding the glass even trembled slightly.
In the captivity of romance and passion, women can easily lose their rationality. Even someone as rational as she was feeling complex emotions now. She couldn’t see Xu Xiangbei’s face, but her mind was filled with his gentle smile.
Xu Xiangbei gently held her hand: "Your hair and neck are covered in cream. Although wiped clean, it still feels greasy. I’ll fill the water for your bath."
"A bath? Sure."
He guided Song Yuting to the spacious bathroom, where she smelled the mint shampoo and touched the finely carved enamel pattern on the bathtub, like a piece of art. Song Yuting exclaimed: "This bathroom is huge! It feels bigger than our dormitory."
Xu Xiangbei smiled: "Of course, this is a luxurious presidential suite. This is only a four-star hotel, imagine a five-star or above, the presidential suite there is even more luxurious. The faucets here are gold-plated. In a five-star hotel, they would be solid gold."
Song Yuting showed a shy smile: "I’ve never stayed in a presidential suite before. Enjoying presidential-level treatment is already satisfying."
Xu Xiangbei turned on the hot faucet, and hot water sprayed out from the gold-plated faucet, slowly filling the bathtub, while Song Yuting happily sat on the bathtub edge, testing the water temperature.
Xu Xiangbei asked with an amused smile: "You can’t see, want me to help you bathe?"
Song Yuting blushed: "Stop talking nonsense. I don’t need you to bathe me, you tease."
"Don’t worry. I won’t take advantage of you. We’re old classmates. Once the water is full, I’ll leave. But be careful, there are hooks here for clothes, towels, soap, and shampoo right by the bathtub. You can feel them easily."
Xu Xiangbei gently guided Song Yuting’s cool and soft hand, patiently showing her where to hang clothes and place soap and shampoo.
Feeling Xu Xiangbei’s warm and firm hand, Song Yuting was filled with a sense of security. When Xu Xiangbei let go, her wavering heart suddenly felt a sense of loss, wishing that warm hand would hold hers forever.
At this moment, she regretted that perhaps she shouldn’t have left Xu Xiangbei back then, otherwise their relationship wouldn’t have been so distant today.
She bit her lip and softly said: "Thank you."
Xu Xiangbei’s voice was polite, but this politeness made her heart ache, carrying a tone of respectful distance.
"No need to thank me. If you need anything, just call me. I’ll be in the living room."
"Alright."
Hearing Xu Xiangbei leave and close the door, Song Yuting then began to undress and entered the bathtub filled with hot, foamy water.
Warm water and foam felt like thousands of gentle little hands caressing the skin, making one completely relaxed and comfortable. Song Yuting couldn’t help but drift into sleep.
Xu Xiangbei was watching TV in the living room when he heard a scream from the bathroom. Thinking Song Yuting had slipped, he rushed in.
He couldn’t help but smirk slightly. Song Yuting’s skin was white and tender as snow, with innocent and pure expression, long hair flowing, resembling a celestial being just like Gu Xinyan.
Having barged in, Song Yuting screamed even louder: "Xu Xiangbei, why did you come in? I’m not dressed. Get out!"
Xu Xiangbei retreated to the door, but his eyes remained fixed on Song Yuting in the bathtub, grinning mischievously: "I heard you scream and thought you fell..."
Feeling her face hot, reddened to her neck, Song Yuting pouted slightly and scolded: "Annoying, I just fell asleep and had a nightmare. Hurry out, don’t peek."
