Chapter 101 Remarry Me
It was late at night, and the hotel manager had been waiting for a long time. He kept dozing off, as not everyone was partying all night for the New Year. A man and a woman walked in, the woman holding a cat. He rubbed his eyes and went to greet them.
There was a problem with the room allocation.
"Haven't we already booked a room?" Cui Jing asked.
The manager wiped his sweat and said, "My staff made a mistake, so... now there is only one very narrow theme room left, no, two. I tried my best to make another room for you. It's just enough for the two of you to rest."
"I'm sorry." The receptionist came forward and bowed. It seemed that she had made the wrong room.
"Just one room." Xue Yijie said.
The manager apologized again and again, but Cui Jing accepted two room cards: "How can I sleep well in one room?"
Open the door upstairs.
A table lamp was connected to the power supply and lit up when the door was opened. The room was indeed small, with a single solid wooden bed by the window, the top edge of the bed was arched, the bedside table and window frame were also solid wood, the furniture was very voluminous, heavy and warm, which was in line with the original ecological style of the hotel.
Xue Yijie excitedly put the suitcase behind the door, closed it and said, "I'll spend the night on the sofa."
Cui Jing opened the suitcase and said, "This sofa is so small."
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Didn't I often sleep on the sofa before my rebirth? Xue Yijie hummed a song, opened the suitcase and took out her pajamas. "I'll go wash it first."
Cui Jing acquiesced to his self-inflicted suffering and turned up the air conditioner temperature. She stood by the huge window and saw a road leading to the seaside.
"it's beautiful."
She was awakened by the heat in the middle of the night. When she stretched her legs, she saw a person curled up at her feet.
She crawled to the end of the bed and looked at Xue Yijie's face in the light from the window. It seemed a little red. He was wearing clothes and half covered with a blanket. She touched his hot face, held his face in her hands and kissed him in a daze.
He mumbled, "How can a puppy get on the bed?"
Xue Yijie moved, as if in response.

The sun was stronger than ever in the next few days, and the weather was so hot that people had to wear short sleeves. Cui Jing changed into a thick skirt and excitedly took Xue Yijie on a bicycle, riding down the long and straight slope leading to the beach.
Stroll to the beach as usual in the afternoon.
The sea breeze was slightly chilly, and Cui Jing wore a pair of her favorite cashmere socks, and Xue Yijie's coat also appeared on her.
Xue Yijie said that he wanted to take pictures of the sunset and night at the beach as a souvenir, and went back to get his camera. When he went to see Cui Jing, he realized that his cell phone had fallen into her pocket.
She squatted on the ground and played with the sand. She waited and waited, but no one showed up. The street vendors were getting ready to close their stalls, and the sea, the sky, and the earth were all dizzy.
Everybody was walking back.
"If you don't come soon, the sunset will be gone."
"Could it be that all the shared bikes have been ridden?" Cui Jing wanted to look for him, but then she thought, "I still have his phone. If I run away, he won't be able to find me, right?"
Cui Jing squatted back.
A figure walked towards this side. It was too far away to see the face clearly, but Cui Jing knew at a glance that it was not the person she was waiting for. She turned around and continued to sit, unlocking Xue Yijie's phone and flipping through the photos one by one.
I took a lot of photos these days.
Xue Yijie has great aesthetic taste.
The photos taken this evening are clearly distinguishable from the daytime in thumbnail mode, with red afterglow and red people.
In one photo, there is a sun behind her. The sun is close to the sea, and it looks like she is holding the sun above her head.
“It was shot quite sacredly.”
The next photo was a photo of her and Xue Yijie, but it was a bad photo of her. A gust of wind blew all her hair onto her face, and Xue Yijie was smiling so brightly.
Cui Jing was about to press and hold to delete.
A voice sounded:
"It's pretty nice, keep it."
A man in a suit and tie walked up to her and squatted down, his profile cold. He looked at her legs in woolen socks under her skirt.
"Do you mind if I have a cigarette, Jingjing."
Zhai Yang smelled cigarettes on Cui Jing several times. She was a smoker, but he had never seen that. Later, when he imagined her smoking, the scene of a woman lighting a cigarette on the screen always popped into his mind. She would not be too flattering. Reality might be tired and real.
Cui Jing felt cold in her heart, "Where are they?"
The smoke exhaled by Zhai Yang obscured his face, making it even more unclear. However, Cui Jing could feel his direct gaze, the burning and suppressed persistence.
"Jingjing, you know my character. I don't want to hurt him, and I don't want to hurt you either. Please remarry me."
