Perfect match.

Unlike Yuanjiang, there is no snow in Luotan Mountain in winter.

The small town is surrounded by mountains and sea, and the climate is pleasant.As soon as the autumn flowers under the eaves pressed down on the tips, a cluster of light and white willows rose from the water's edge.When guests from the north see the sight of a laurel tree and a willow tree, they are often amazed at the unclear four seasons here.

Cheng Xiu was soundly asleep early in the morning when he was suddenly disturbed by an alarm.

On the bed next door, Dai Xiao was still sleeping soundly shirtless.The snoring sounded loudly, with waves rising again and again. It was like a tractor in the field that was billowing in smoke but could not be started. Its own noise of [-] decibels completely overwhelmed the alarm.

You are so beautiful!

Cheng Xiu threw a pillow at Dai Xiao's face.

He was overjoyed when he saw this, quickly put on his clothes, rushed into the bathroom and squeezed some toothpaste while Dai Xiao was cursing, before the other party had time to put on his pants, rushed in, grabbed the tooth cup and slipped outside.

As soon as the door was opened, the morning breeze was blowing.

The bougainvillea cascades down in the small courtyard and ignites into a raging fire. He An is basking in the sun with lily of the valley in his arms.

The little girl wore a printed sarong today, her hair was not braided, and her hair was fluffy and soft, showing a beautiful light brown color under the sunlight.She was sipping milk, and Liu Bailiu looked eagerly at her, her pink nose moved, and she really wanted to share a piece of the pie.

"Morning!"

Cheng Xiu raised his toothbrush and said hello.

"Morning." He An frowned at him, "Have you checked your phone?"

Cheng Xiu: "I didn't see it, what's the matter?"

He raised his head and took a big mouthful of water.

He An said mysteriously: "Last night, someone placed a big order at our inn."

Large Orders?

Cheng Xiu puffed his cheeks and his eyes were round.

He and Dai Xiao "lived together" for nearly a year, and he had already cultivated into half a Grandet by subtle influence. He was excited when he heard the sound of Qian.He held up the tooth cup in his left hand and the toothbrush in his right, drawing an exaggerated arc with both hands—how big?

He An smiled and said, "It's very big, you have to prepare well."

Cheng Xiu's eyes lit up immediately, and after brushing his teeth in twos and twos, he turned his head and went in to find his phone, regardless of the "beast" in the room.Not long after, he came out with his mobile phone in his hands, his shoulders drooping in disappointment: "Don't get ready, it looks like a system failure. How can a real order look like this?"

He An looked up at him: "Not necessarily."

"It's not 100%, it's ninety-nine percent." Cheng Xiu sat down next to He An, pointing to the phone screen and counting one by one, "Look, anonymous user, pay the full amount, no room selection, free pick-up , the check-in time is still nine o'clock in the morning - how many guests have you seen who come at nine o'clock in the morning?"

"Um……"

He An nodded, thoughtfully.

But he didn't look depressed, and there was still a smile on his face: "Maybe this guest is different from other guests? For example, he is an old man who lives in a big city, retired, and wants to come to our town Clean for one year. The full payment is because there is no shortage of money, and the anonymity is because he forgot to register. If he chooses a room... Well, maybe he used to live in hotels before, thinking that small inns are like hotels, and only after he came Choose a room."

This reasoning is actually very inconsequential, but Cheng Xiu was a little convinced when he saw his radiance and eyes shining.

He An lowered his head and asked Ling Lan: "Is what Dad said right?"

"Correct!"

Lily of the Valley blinked her long eyelashes, and her baby voice responded childishly.

In fact, He An's reaction was exactly the same as Cheng Xiu's when the order was first posted.

It fakes like a system glitch.

Except for a few discounted rooms, the annual cost of renting out a standard room in Qingguo Inn is close to [-].Even if the customer is rich enough to not care about the money, paying the full amount at once is considered irrational consumption.Moreover, in Luotan Town, where marketing is popular and inns are vying to become Internet celebrities, Qingguo Inn has already been squeezed to the bottom of the rankings, so where did the luck come from to be selected?In addition, anonymity, no room selection, and check-in at [-] o'clock in the morning... This order has the word "false" written everywhere.

But what if it was true?

If it is true, then, can Dai Xiao recover a little bit of the loss he suffered because of taking him and Ling Lan?Compared with the potential benefits, the effort to clean up a guest room that may be unoccupied is not too much effort.

"Cheng Xiu, I want to try my luck." He An said with a smile, "We are a small inn. The vacancy rate is so high in the off-season. If you can book a room, it counts as a room. Maybe this time the lucky star shines brightly, and we really meet How about a generous and easy-going guest?"

"Okay." Cheng Xiu patted He An on the shoulder, "I believe in your hunch."

Although Cheng Xiu has a rough nerve, he knows He An very well.

He An's temperament, it is true to say that he is soft, and it is also true to say that he is tough.For more than half a year of living in the Qingguo Inn, He An has always felt guilty towards Dai Xiao because he occupied a guest room for no reason, and felt that it was a drag on his business.

In fact, from Cheng Xiu's point of view, there was no business in the Qingguo Inn at that time.

Dai Xiao's advantages are handsome, enthusiastic, practical and reliable, and his disadvantages are idleness, stinginess, and idealism.It is very comfortable to be friends with him, and to open an inn with him, the storage lost everything.In particular, Cheng Xiu was trained by Zheng Feiluan, and he has a clear understanding of the characteristics of an outstanding businessman-Dai Xiao is impartial, stepping on taboos every step of the way.

When they took them in, the Qingguo Inn was on the verge of closing down, with all the rooms empty, the rent was rushing out, and there was no income at all.On the contrary, it was their arrival that somewhat added a bit of fireworks to this deserted small inn.

After staying for two days, facing the gate that no one cares about, no matter how dull people are, they can understand it.

Dai Xiao didn't hide it, and told them the truth: Before the concept of the Internet celebrity inn became popular, he was actually popular here for a while, but he couldn't match the soft-text marketing that showed cats and dogs, and it slowly passed. angry.

He An lowered his eyes and pondered, and said: Shall I help you?

Cheng Xiu didn't understand it at the time, and took it for granted that He An meant helping out with chores.Unexpectedly, the next day, Dai Xiao handed over the full power of the inn to He An, and retired to the second line by himself, working as a driver, security guard and porter.

In order to repay Dai Xiao, He An spent almost all his energy on the inn besides raising Lily of the Valley, treating it as his own business.

Since then, the life of the small inn has only improved day by day.

Dai Xiao became very interested in He An and asked him if he had opened an inn before.He An said no, but he minored in hotel management for two semesters when he was studying, so he knew a little bit.That day, Cheng Xiu found out that He An actually went to college, but he just dropped out halfway.

"By the way, aren't you and Dai Xiao going to pick up a group of guests today? When are you leaving?"

He An spoke, interrupting Cheng Xiu's meditation.

Cheng Xiu almost forgot about it, looked down at his watch, turned around and shouted into the room: "Dai Xiao, hurry up, get down to business!"

What they are going to pick up is a small group of fans, about seven or eight people, mainly traveling, mainly going to the film and television city in the north of Luotan Town to visit the group.There just started shooting a big-production group photoshoot with a lot of stars.Fans came after hearing the news and occupied all the inns in Luotan Town.Qingguo Inn was also lucky enough to get a piece of the pie, booking four rooms at once.

At 07:30, Dai Xiao drove his nine-seat minivan and took Cheng Xiu to the airport to pick him up.

The guests who woke up also got up one after another.Qingguo Inn does not provide breakfast, they teased Lily of the Valley, and then teased Liubaliu, then packed their bags and started a new day's journey.

Soon, the usual wave of excitement in the early morning passed, and the small courtyard became quiet again.

The breeze blows through the bougainvillea, the leaves are like waves, and a string of wind chimes under the eaves jingle and sing.Ling Lan was full of milk and fell asleep in the cradle with Liu Bailiu in her arms. He An closed the door of the inn and began to tidy up the guest rooms one by one.

In order to save money for Dai Xiao, He An didn't hire a cleaner. He did all the work like making the bed, taking out the garbage, cleaning the room, and replenishing daily necessities by himself.His body has not yet healed, and he has good times and bad times. Sometimes it is too much to bear halfway through cleaning, so he sits down to take a breath and take a rest.

After working for more than an hour, he finally packed the last room.

A spacious and well-organized large bedroom is located on the inner side of the second floor, some distance from the bar along the river. It will be very quiet at night. There is also a small balcony with elegant tea seats and potted plants.The small balcony is hidden in the luxuriant and blooming flower branches. When you push the flower branches away, there are rolling mountains and green rivers in the distance.

The scenery is different in four seasons, even if you live for a year, you will not get tired of it.

That mysterious anonymous guest...should like it, right?

After making the bed, perhaps due to bowing his head for too long, a burst of dizziness struck, He An hurriedly supported the bed board to slow down for a while.

The dizziness didn't get better for a long time, and his forehead was sweating, so he had to sit down and rest slowly.Taking advantage of the rest time, he left a welcome message to the guests with the note paper in the drawer, and placed it neatly on the bedside table.

Just after finishing these, there was a "squeak", and the courtyard door downstairs was pushed open.

There is no doorbell at the Qingguo Inn, and two old wooden doors acted as doorbells.They are very heavy, and some years old, and the door hinges have been corroded by rain, and every time they are turned, there will always be an old and distant sound, which can be heard wherever they go.

He An looked up at the clock, it was exactly nine o'clock.

Is that the guest?

Without thinking too much, he hurriedly smoothed the wrinkles on the quilt, opened the door and went out to greet her.

Walking down a few stairs, looking down while leaning on the railing of the small platform at the corner, there was no one near the gate.He An felt weird, and subconsciously turned his gaze towards the yard, and just this one glance made him suddenly stiff.

He saw someone who should never have been there under any circumstances.

Zheng Feiluan.

Alpha stood in front of the swing, very close to Lily of the Valley, and even took a step forward, reaching out to Lily of the Valley who was sleeping soundly.

Seeing this scene, He An clenched his hand holding the railing.The warm sun was shining above his head, but he seemed to have fallen into a bone-piercing ice cellar. The fear at that moment was enough to tear the heart apart.

In the small swing cradle, a small child fell asleep.

lily of the valley.

his daughter.

Zheng Feiluan stared at her, a touch of emotion appeared in his usually calm eyes.

He never expected that after ten hours of trekking, when he stepped into the Qingguo Inn, the first person to greet him would be Lily of the Valley—she was sleeping in a cradle with a fat cat in her arms, like a flower. Flowers in bud.

The feeling of seeing it with my own eyes... is indescribable.

There are no rough pixel squares, no distorted colors, and the child's whiteness and water spirit are vividly seen.

Zheng Feiluan felt exhausted, took a step forward, bent down, and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the child's beautiful face, but the moment he was about to touch it——

"Don't touch her!"

A mournful shout sounded from above his head.

He looked up suddenly.

At the corner of the stairs, He An was leaning forward, leaning forward, staring at him in horror.The fierce look in his eyes was like a beast guarding a calf.

Zheng Feiluan didn't have time to explain anything, only heard a series of "thump, thud, thump" rushing down the stairs, and then his shoulder was pushed away forcefully, and an almost inaudible fragrance of lily of the valley floated in front of him. There was only one cat with an upturned belly left.
