Chapter 9 - Stay With Me

"It is. But, the general manager was my friend, so he helped me." He smiled victoriously and Nana had the urge to smack something -of course, she couldn't smack the actor sitting closely next to her.

"Made sense." Nana took a sip of her water to ease the frustration in her heart before starting to eat her steak.

"I thought you'd gone back." He sounded pitiful and lonely. "My fan service hasn't even done yet, why would you discard me so quickly?"

"Who dares to discard you?" Nana almost choked on her steak when she heard him complaining. Why did she not know this man could act like a white lotus?

"You do." Mu Yang looked straight at her and answered as a matter of fact. It was more like an accusation to her rather than a fact, though.

It was lucky she wasn't swallowing anything, or else she would choke for real. "My bad. I'll make it up for you." She patted his head, half-rubbing his smooth hair gently. It had become a habit of her to pacify him and to make sure he wouldn't feel wronged for long.

Mu Yang smiled in a spoiled way. "Why do I like it when you rub my head? I am usually the one who does it, and not the other way around."

Nana noticed the same. She patted him more than he did her. It made her feel like a dominant between the two of them. She didn't mean to be the leading one, of course.

"You are welcome to rub my head as well." Nana leaned her head towards him to show her intention.

Come on, rub my head so I won't feel like I'm the one who leads this strange relationship!

"Of course." Mu Yang rubbed her head excitedly but still gently.

After having dinner, the both of them took a stroll around the garden while enjoying the evening. Being a famous actor, Mu Yang needed to hide his identity well. Even when he ate, he made sure to sit with his back towards the other people. He was lucky that the spot Nana had chosen was strategic to hide himself. Also, the place where they were taking a stroll was a bit deserted. Even so, he concealed himself tightly. Who knew whether there were cameras out there or not? What would he do if someone accidentally took a picture of the two of them together?

The mask and the hat were nuisances to him, but for the sake of his reputation and Nana's private life, he chose to wear them.

"Are you staying here?" Nana asked him.

Mu Yang nodded. "I stay on the eighth floor. What floor are you in?"

Eighth floor? That was for suite rooms.

"Fifth floor. That one. 505." Nana pointed at the room where she was staying. She had looked around when she went to balcony before, so she could recognize her own balcony even from garden.

"Why didn't you take a suite room?"

"Do you think everyone has as much money as you?" Nana laughed at his innocent question. "That room is pretty big for me alone, why should I book a suite room? Also, I will have to move out later and check into a new hotel. What's the point of booking a big room for myself?"

"But, you booked a suite room before." He looked bewildered.

"I only wanted to experience the feeling of staying in a suite room. Also, I booked it as a preparation just in case I managed to sleep with you. Now that I've experienced what it's like to stay in a suite room, there's no reason for me to keep staying in a suite room. If I continue spending my money on a suite room, I won't be able to go back home after my vacation. I don't want to be a beggar here."

Mu Yang pouted behind his mask. What she said was right. She even included the thing about sleeping with him. Wasn't it too bad that she had booked a suite room but didn't manage to sleep with him?

"Are you regretting it now? I mean, you had booked such a nice room but didn't manage to sleep with me?" He asked carefully. He intended to say that he was willing to reimburse her loss and let her sleep with him and that he was willing to pay for a room.

"Weren't you there and slept in that room?" She looked at him innocently. "It can be said that half of it has been accomplished." She grinned.

Mu Yang stopped walking and looked at the girl with bewilderment. He really had no idea she could think that way. Her simple thoughts really touched him. Instead of lusting after him, she sounded like she only thought of the best thing for him.

"Bao Bei, let me see your room. If it's not up to my standard, you have to move out of the room and stay in the same room as me." Mu Yang walked faster and told her what was in his mind.

At this point, Nana wasn't surprised with the way his mind worked anymore. "Even if it's not to your standard, I don't want to move out. I've paid for it. I can only get half of it if I want to get a refund. Also, the room is perfect. Why should I move into your room? Even if your room is a suite, it only has one bedroom, right? Should one of us sleep on the couch? It's not going to be you, obviously."

"Then, we should use the bed together." Mu Yang hastily interrupted.

This time, it was Nana who stopped walking and looked at Mu Yang in shock. "Ayang, are you kidding me?"

Mu Yang also stopped walking and looked back at her while smiling. "I'm not. I'm serious."

Nana snorted. "Okay, okay. Whatever you say. But I still choose to sleep in my own room. Thanks for the offer." She smiled and continued her light steps.
