He arrived at the doorway.
Chen Feng sized up Chu Ning.
Fully geared up, with a bare face.
This was a rare occasion for her to be without makeup during the day.
She actually looked quite good without makeup.
She had an extra three points of simplicity.
The two walked to the end of the corridor outside the private room and stood by the window.
"I'm leaving, going back to Shanghai East."
Chu Ning looked at the bustling long street outside and said softly.
"Have a safe trip."
Chen Feng didn't say much either.
"Chen Feng, I don't regret it."
Chu Ning suddenly turned to stare at Chen Feng, smiling faintly: "Really, even if I can't make it in this industry later, I won't regret the decision I made that night."
"Why are you telling me this?"
Chen Feng blinked: "You know I don't care at all."
"I know."
Chu Ning lowered her head and said softly, "I know you just treated my throwing myself into your arms as a drunken pastime. But for me, it was very significant."
"..."
Chen Feng was speechless.
Chu Ning continued, "Chen Feng, you are a mysterious man. I know you have a story. Everything about you is definitely not as simple as what's rumored online. I wish you success in winning the championship, and I hope your career reaches its peak. In the future, I can watch you on TV. I'll cheer for you, and pray for you."
Chen Feng: "..."
Chu Ning's eyes reddened.
Seeing Chen Feng's indifference, she bit her lip, turned around, and slowly walked away, dragging her suitcase.
She never looked back.
And Chen Feng also turned his face to the window, not looking at her.
He frowned deeply.
For him, that night was indeed just a drunken pastime, and Chu Ning was the one who initiated it.
They had agreed to not bother each other afterward.
But now, looking at Chu Ning, it seemed she had taken it seriously.
This was very troublesome.
Chen Feng could accept one-night stands, but he also had principles.
One-night stands must be during a period of being single.
And absolutely no talk of feelings.
Only physical, not emotional.
When truly in love, he would definitely be fully committed and loyal to the other person.
Therefore, Chen Feng accepted the absurd one-night stand with Liu Rui, and also accepted Chu Ning's Take the initiative to throw yourself into someone's arms .
But at the same time, he could also fully commit to a passionate relationship with Rosa, rejecting all ambiguous people, such as Liang Wanqiu.
These were his principles.
Therefore, Chu Ning's seriousness made him feel disgusted.
Fortunately, everything was over.
Chu Ning still had one good quality, which was that she could pick up and let go.
Although she had become serious, she didn't entangle him.
She let go of everything and returned to Shanghai East.
This was the best outcome.
Chen Feng stood by the window, silently lingering for a while, then turned around leisurely and returned to the private room to continue eating.
After the meal.
Everyone returned to their own rooms.
That night, who knew how many people couldn't sleep.
...
Midnight.
Chen Feng, who was sound asleep, was suddenly woken up by a piercing alarm bell.
He abruptly sat up from the bed.
It was very noisy outside.
The fire alarm had been triggered.
A fire?
Chen Feng quickly got up, grabbed a bathrobe, put it on, opened the door, and rushed out.
Outside.
The floor was full of people.
Someone at the end was shouting, instructing guests to evacuate in an orderly manner.
So, Chen Feng followed the crowd downstairs.
Many people were standing outside.
They all looked up.
Chen Feng went to a distant spot, turned back, and glanced upstairs.
Thick smoke was billowing out of a room on the fourth floor, near the middle, but no firelight was visible.
It probably hadn't caught fire yet.
At this moment, someone called his name from a distance behind him.
He turned his head to look.
It was some of the staff arranged by the program team in the hotel, and also Han Tao and a few others.
Chen Feng quickly walked over.
Everyone was in the same state.
They had almost all just grabbed something and wrapped it around themselves before running out.
It was very cold outside.
Everyone was shivering from the cold.
Little A Yi was even worse; she only had a blanket wrapped around her and was even barefoot.
Han Tao's face fell: "MD, what kind of situation is this? Yesterday the Actor Cabin was burglarized, and today the hotel is on fire. Should we go to Lingyin Temple to pray?"
Tao Yilun sighed: "If Lingyin Temple was that effective, everyone in the world would have to squeeze in to pray. Then Jiangnan City would become the center of the world."
Yu Zhiwen also stomped her feet while saying bitterly, "What should we do? Are we just going to freeze like this? It's so cold."
Little A Yi pouted even more aggrievedly: "I'm not wearing any clothes underneath."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Feng and the other two turned their heads to look at her in unison.
That gaze...
Little A Yi stomped her foot, both shy and annoyed: "Still looking, I..."
Yu Zhiwen, who was beside her, quickly leaned over, hugged her, and said with a giggle, "Sister A Yi, come, come, I'll give you some warmth."
Little A Yi was touched: "Thank you, Zhiwen."
Yu Zhiwen whispered with a mischievous smile, "Sister A Yi, you... are you used to sleeping naked?"
"Go away, stop talking nonsense."
Little A Yi's face turned completely red, and she said urgently in a low voice, "My pajamas accidentally got dirty, so I washed them. I only brought one set, so... sigh, I'm so unlucky."
"Hehe, when we go back, I'll give you a set."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The two girls hugged each other and whispered.
It was fate that they unexpectedly became friends.
At this moment, someone at the hotel entrance shouted loudly, indicating that all guests should quickly return to the hotel, as if the alarm had been lifted.
And the smoky window on the fourth floor slowly returned to normal.
No fire?
Which idiot caused that smoke?
Everyone grumbled and ran back into the hotel.
After reaching his floor, Chen Feng greeted the others and walked towards his room.
As he returned to the doorway and was about to swipe his room card, he suddenly felt a stir in his heart.
The door was ajar.
Someone opened his room door?
Chen Feng quickly took two steps back, instantly adopting the role of a police officer.
At this moment, the corridor was full of people.
All the guests were rushing back to their rooms, so it was noisy.
Chen Feng's eyes, like those of a hawk, carefully observed both sides for a moment. After finding no suspicious person, he returned to the door and gently pushed it open.
It was quiet inside.
By the light from the corridor, he could see that the living room had been turned upside down again.
Chen Feng slowly walked into the room and turned on the light.
Indeed!
His room had been ransacked again.
Living room, bedroom, bathroom...
There was no one in the room.
Chen Feng frowned.
So, the fire alarm just now must have been man-made.
Someone deliberately created a disturbance, driving all the guests out, including Chen Feng, and then took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Chen Feng's room to search.
They were probably still looking for the blood cloth.
They hadn't found it in the Actor Cabin before and were unwilling to give up, so now they actually came to the hotel to search.
And they caused such a big commotion.
Chen Feng was furious.
This time, he wouldn't call the police; he would handle it himself.
He immediately activated his 'Fire Eyes' skill, turned around, rushed into the corridor, and looked up at the camera installed on the ceiling in the distance.
【Man-made damage】.
It's over!
It seems the culprit is an old hand.
Experienced.
Even the hotel's cameras were broken.
Chen Feng returned to the room again, with the 'Fire Eyes' skill activated, and began to search the room inch by inch.
A moment later, his eyes lit up.
He found a shoe print in the bathroom that wasn't his own.
Next to the shoe print were three additional tags.
【Size 44】 【Harley motorcycle boots】 【Oil stain】...
After clearly seeing the tags, Chen Feng turned his head and quickly rushed out of the room.
