After The Fall Of The Earth, My Hotel Became Popular - Chapter 72

Chapter 72 – Jealous Dog

　　Violence is not permitted in the Hotel, even between employees.

　　Su Wu and the Rabbit wrestled together for a while before being separated by an invisible mysterious force.

　　Out of sight, out of mind. The two of them went their separate ways while arguing, one went to the restaurant to help, and the other went to the KTV room.

　　Wen Bei couldn’t help laughing. He really didn’t expect Su Wu to have a face more beautiful than a woman’s.

　　Different from the rough voice and personality, the face is rather feminine. The first impression people have when seeing him is that they would want to protect him. But the reality is the opposite, he is the one who is protecting others.

　　The excitement was over, and Wen Bei was about to walk out when he suddenly felt a strong force on his wrist, pulling him back to the back garden.

　　The garden gate closed, and in an instant they were the only two people inside.

　　Wen Bei looked at the man who was very close to him and exuded a dangerous aura. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “What do you want to do?”

　　Qiu Tin said something out of the blue: “Is it beautiful?”

　　The violence in his heart reached its peak the moment he noticed that Wen Bei had been staring at Su Wu. He felt like a trapped beast wanting to break free from its confinement and start a killing spree, but in reality he was forced to retract his sharp fangs when facing the young man.

　　A strong murderous aura emanated from the man, but Wen Bei no longer had the vigilance he had when they first met.

　　Because he could feel that this murderous aura was not directed at himself, but at others.

　　Qiu Tin repeated: “Do you like him like that?”

　　He thought back to Su Wu’s appearance, which was completely opposite to his own.

　　If Wen Bei nodded at this moment, it would be difficult for him to control himself from twisting Su Wu’s head off.

　　Wen Bei’s eyes narrowed slightly. He calmly watched the man restrain his anger and his tense jawline.

　　Suddenly, an extremely bizarre but accurate thought came to his mind: ‘he is jealous.’

　　Even if he was slow in this regard, Wen Bei could see what the man was thinking at the moment.

　　The sour smell of jealousy from the other person was almost condensed into substance and drowned him.

　　Almost at the moment he figured it out, Wen Bei was completely unaware that the corners of his mouth were rising.

　　His mood became strangely joyous.

　　Many people would probably resist being liked by a mad dog.

　　But it was different if the said mad dog is the one you have always wanted to tame.

　　Wen Bei’s eyes began to show pity, and the evil hidden deep in his bones was unearthed.

　　As if for fun, he reached out and touched Qiu Tin’s face. Looking at the man’s constricted pupils and instantly tensed body, the joy in his heart grew little by little.

　　‘How pitiful! How could he not hide his puppy tail and I found out about it?’

　　Then he would make good use of this love.

　　Qiu Tin stopped approaching and let him touch his face lightly. The look in his eyes changed, the possessiveness in them was so strong that it seemed to surge out, and it was full of oppression.

　　Youth is like a butterfly that may fly away at any time.

　　For the first time, that pair of soft hands rested on his face, bringing a warm and soft touch.

　　But he would withdraw his hand at any time and pull it away ruthlessly.

　　Only by breaking the butterfly’s wings could he always stay by his side.

　　Bound, marked, and scented, these were the gifts he wanted to offer.

　　Qiu Tin’s eyes showed an uncontrollable obsession, and he barely tried to hide the vicious desire in his heart.

　　Even he himself did not realize that this morbid obsession and possessiveness had exceeded his initial definition of “prey”.

　　Being looked at in such a manner, Wen Bei instinctively felt a chill in his body. It was no different from being stared at by a wild beast. However, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he became excited.

　　Madman.

　　Wen Bei withdrew his hand, chuckled, then raised his hands to hold the man’s neck, pulled him towards himself, and whispered in his ear, “I don’t like him.”

　　His voice was a whisper, as if he was telling his lover sweet words that could not be known by others, like poisonous frost wrapped in honey.

　　The dark black fog was all lingering around his feet, climbing up the young man’s calves little by little, approaching his waist and below.

　　Qiu Tin’s red eyes completely turned into vertical pupils, like a top predator, he didn’t want to let go of the prey in his mouth.

　　Knock knock.

　　There were footsteps.

　　There were some noisy noises outside.

　　”Shouldn’t the hot springs be open soon?”

　　”It’s already been thirty minutes, why hasn’t it opened yet?”

　　Wen Bei’s eyes were clear, and he pushed Qiu Tin away: “Get out of the way.”

　　A good boss would never miss any opportunity to make money.

　　His hotel is in need of a major upgrade lately, and he can’t let go of travelers’ wallets.

　　Qiu Tin: “…”

　　The emotions that had been brewing were all dispersed in an instant.

　　He was like a wild animal that was interrupted while eating, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

　　Wen Bei’s eyes curved: “Be good and don’t disturb me from making money.”

　　This is definitely his bottom line.

　　Qiu Tin lowered his eyes and looked at him. After a while, he lowered his head and bit his Adam’s apple. He didn’t use much force, but the sharpness of his teeth was enough to make the young man shudder.

　　Just stop when he has reached the point.

　　•=|=•

　　When they came out of the Hotel, it was almost dinner time. Wen Bei helped the store pick up some guests, and finally left during his free time and returned to the entrance of the safe zone.

　　It was not until he walked out of the Hotel that he noticed that the sky suddenly became bright.

　　The sun shines generously on the snow.

　　The sky is clear.

　　The temperature has risen.

　　Wen Bei took off his coat. He was wearing a sweatshirt and looked like a student who had just graduated from college.

　　He took Qiu Tin and entered again according to A’Luo’s previous method.

　　Uncle Chen, who was in charge of the door, looked at them with a confused look on his skinny face. He obviously didn’t know how they could disappear for a whole day and come back safe and sound so soon.

　　The young man had even changed his clothes.

　　Wen Bei didn’t explain too much. He acted politely and distantly: “Excuse me, is A’Luo here?”

　　When Uncle Chen heard the name, a trace of guilt appeared on his face. He sighed and said, “He is still in the same place. The young man who came with you has been with him.”

　　Wen Bei thanked him and was about to go back, but he was stopped by him again.

　　The old man’s face was extremely vicissitudes, and he seemed to have a lot to say. In the end, he could only tremble and utter one sentence: “We are sorry for him.”

　　In the end times, people’s hearts are too complicated.

　　There are no absolutely good people, nor are there absolutely bad people.

　　Whether the bystander is guilty or not is up to himself or herself to judge.

　　Wen Bei didn’t look back, nor did he give any answer. He just raised his leg and walked in again.

　　The weather warmed up in a very strange way, almost at the same speed as it cooled down.

　　People started to walk around in the safe area, which was originally crowded for people to keep warm.

　　Hope reappeared on everyone’s face.

　　The roads in the safe zone are very narrow. Wen Bei could clearly hear other people’s conversations when walking on them.

　　”The temperature is rising! The severe cold is finally over.”

　　”Fortunately, this severe cold weather didn’t last for several months like the previous one, otherwise we would not have survived.”

　　”This must be the child’s mother’s spirit in heaven blessing us.”

　　”Be careful not to get sick again due to the sudden rise in temperature.”

　　”With the supplies that A’Luo found, we will be able to restore the production of the sugarcane fields soon.”

　　There were all kinds of discussions, but when Wen Bei heard the last sentence, everyone else stopped for a moment.

　　If that “accident” had not happened, they would be happy to put A’Luo in a position of gratitude and regard him as the hero of the safe zone.

　　But some of them killed the hero’s relatives, and they were bystanders, whose indifference led to the worst outcome.

　　They didn’t know what A’Luo was thinking, or whether he would hate them.

　　He is now a powerful polluter. If such a person wanted to retaliate, there would be no one in their safe zone who could confront him head-on.

　　People felt somewhat panicked.

　　Some people believed that he would not do such a thing, but more people were frightened by the fact that he pulled those people and beat them up like a madman.

　　No one dared to get close to him anymore, and even the neighbor who originally lived near A’Luo’s house moved away.

　　These concerns are normal.

　　Wen Bei ignored them and continued walking in the direction where A’Luo was, and soon found him.

　　He still maintained the same posture as last night, curling up like a wounded cub, with traces of dried tears on his face.

　　Bo Ji just sat beside him quietly. He didn’t know how to comfort people, so he could only put some food next to him.

　　But after a day, the food remained motionless.

　　Seeing Wen Bei coming back, Bo Ji stood up and moved away quickly as if he had seen a savior.

　　Wen Bei: “Do you regret it?”

　　A’Luo: “Regret.”

　　He answered without hesitation, his voice becoming hoarse from not having had water for so long.

　　How could he not regret it? He regretted not only leaving the safe zone and letting those people hurt his brother and sister, but he hated himself for being ignorant and naive even more.

　　How could he have imagined that this safe zone where he had stayed for five years would eventually become a den of evil where his family would be killed.

　　Even sitting here at this moment, he felt as uncomfortable as if millions of ants were crawling on him.

　　Wen Bei was not surprised by this answer: “Can you go to a few places with me?”

　　A’Luo trusted him very much. Even though he felt so uncomfortable at the moment, he would not refuse Wen Bei’s request to go. So he nodded awkwardly: “Where to?”

　　Wen Bei did not answer, but took him to another part of the safe zone.

　　He first took him to a corner where even the iron sheet was not complete, there was no furniture, and there were only two children lying on a pile of old newspapers.

　　The two children hid under a quilt that was so torn that the cotton wool was exposed. They had been doing this during the severe cold weather during this period, and they were no different from stray animals that huddled together for warmth.

　　Seeing them coming, the two children only dared to show their eyes. Due to long-term hunger, their hands and feet seemed to be just connected by skin, without any flesh. They had big heads and small bodies, and their bellies were protruding.

　　Wen Bei squatted down and spoke softly, “Is there no adult around you?”

　　The two children didn’t dare to speak at first, but they recognized Wen Bei, the good brother who smiled at them and gave them two extra cans of chickpeas when distributing supplies that day.

　　So the braver children among them spoke up: “Yes, Auntie, she went to the sugarcane field.”

　　”Where are the parents?”

　　”There is no one left.”

　　During the brief conversation, A’Luo just stared blankly, his fists clenched tightly, then loosened a little bit…
