I Was Scammed By A Snow Leopard cub - Chapter 18

Chapter 18 – Hot Springs

In the famous top-class hotel on the main star, Pei Kong supported his chin with great interest.

“So, the Tuantuan you picked up is really from the Admiral’s family? He lost his own cub and he accused you of kidnapping him? That’s too funny!”

Luo Yu smiled helplessly: “Yeah. But it was explained clearly later that it was all a misunderstanding. The other party later hired me to help take care of Tuantuan temporarily.”

Pei Kong asked him: “Where are you going after that? Back to your little planet?”

Luo Yu responded vaguely: “Maybe? But I will stay on the main planet for a few more days.”

He was hesitating whether to move the studio to the main planet. This was Wei Li’s wish, and Luo Yu wanted to realize it for his master. He also had his own selfish motives: if it was on the main planet, maybe he could visit Tuantuan from time to time.

Hearing the hesitation in his words, Pei Kong suddenly had an idea. He slapped the table and said heroically: “Why don’t you just not go back? How about staying on the main planet and being my personal stylist? I’ll pay double what he gives you!”

Pei Kong has nothing but a lot of money. He has released countless songs since his debut, and has received a lot of copyright fees. Moreover, he was born into an aristocratic family, and the inheritance alone is so much that he can’t spend it all in several lifetimes.

Luo Yu poured cold water on him: “Master Pei, even if you give me ten times the salary, I won’t go.”

Pei Kong was not convinced: “If he can hire you, why can’t I?”

Luo Yu glanced at him and took a sip of juice slowly: “If you also have a cub as cute as Tuantuan, I don’t mind taking up the offer.”

As an omega, the innocent little king who had never even been in a relationship immediately fell silent.

Luo Yu looked at his aggrieved expression and chuckled. When mentioning the cub, he suddenly missed Tuantuan a little.

Through the huge French windows of the hotel, Luo Yu looked out at the night. At this time of the day, the little guy should have just finished his meal and was jumping around, either rolling around on the sofa or playing with his tail on the carpet. Sometimes he would pester him to listen to the history book he had read to him before.

The little kid is very smart, his brain works very quickly, and he can often tell whether a character is good or bad just after the beginning of a section is finished.

“Meow, meow~” This is a great general with many military achievements leading his troops to battle.

“Awoo, awoo!” This is the big villain and treacherous minister starting to do bad things.

The five-year-old kid can tell them apart clearly, and Luo Yu still finds it novel and interesting every time he sees it.

But such days will soon be over. In a day or two, the time agreed upon for reconciliation with Ying Cheng will arrive.

Luo Yu sighed melancholy and stared out the window in a daze.

The hotel has an excellent view and is located in the main star’s top entertainment district. From where they are, looking down, they can take in the bustling and lively night scene.

The streets are lined with luxury cars and well-dressed people can be seen everywhere.

Suddenly, Luo Yu’s gaze stopped.

A familiar figure walked down from a hovercraft on the side of the road and entered a club not far from the hotel.

It’s Xie Yingcheng.

He was still wearing the same black shirt he wore when he went out that morning, but with his sleeves half-rolled up and one button undone. In the night, the contrast between his silver-gray hair and the black shirt was even stronger than during the day, giving him a sense of abstinence that was unique to the night.

Why is he here so late?

No one can blame him for having doubts, but Xie Yingcheng’s usual cold and serious demeanor can never be associated with luxurious things like entertainment clubs.

Luo Yu’s gaze unconsciously lingered for a while longer and was discovered by Pei Kong.

“Are you looking at the Roentgen Club across the street? They are quite famous on the main planet. They have teahouses, bars, restaurants, hotels, hot springs… They have everything. The members are either super rich or nobles, and the privacy is very good. I have chosen this place for my celebration banquets several times before. It is quite suitable for relaxation and entertainment.”

Luo Yu uttered a casual “hmm”, his eyes fixed on the marble-carved doorplate.

Seeing his curiosity, Pei Kong simply said, “We are free anyway, why don’t we go to the hot springs together?”

•|•

Under Pei Kong’s instigation, Luo Yu was brought into the Roentgen Club by him in a daze.

Luo Yu’s first impression was the luxury paved with money from top to bottom.

The marble at the entrance extends to every corridor, the room numbers are carved with gemstones, the artwork on the walls, the porcelain everywhere, the pure gold decorations on the columns, and the extremely luxurious crystal chandelier on the ceiling of the lobby all silently indicate why this club is known as the “Crown City”.

To run a club like this on a planet where every inch of land is valuable, Luo Yu wondered how much connections and financial resources are needed.

He was secretly shocked in his heart, and he followed Pei Kong silently without looking away the whole time.

The well-trained service staff would not disclose the identity of any member. After Pei Kong presented his credentials, they took the two into the changing room in the hot spring area.

As if noticing that Luo Yu was a little silent after entering the room, Pei Kong said carelessly while changing into a yukata: “It’s okay! A’Yu, don’t be nervous, just have fun. I heard from my friends that the hot spring sake here tastes good, let’s go try it later!”

Luo Yu smiled and nodded to him.

He wasn’t nervous, but he was very sensitive to other people’s gazes. As soon as he entered the club, Luo Yu felt that someone was looking at them vaguely.

The two omegas walking together were somewhat eye-catching. Not long after leaving the locker room, Pei Kong met an acquaintance on the way to the hot spring.

“Teacher Pei? You are here tonight too! What a coincidence!” The person who greeted him was a well-known producer in the circle. He had just collaborated with Pei Kong to release a new song not long ago, which received a warm response among young people.

The other party was Pei Kong’s elder in terms of age and seniority, so Pei Kong had to stop and greet him out of politeness. He originally thought that the issue could be resolved in just a few words, but he didn’t expect that the other party would directly pull Pei Kong to start talking about the next cooperation.

He gave Luo Yu a helpless look, and while turning his head, he mouthed the word “sorry”.

Luo Yu fully understood this, and pointed in the direction of the hot spring considerately, saying silently: “I’ll wait for you there.” Pei Kong also nodded, indicating that Luo Yu should not worry about him and go to soak in the hot spring first.

So Luo Yu and Pei Kong separated and went to the hot spring area first under the guidance of the waiter. When one opened the door, they could see the steaming hot spring bath at a glance. It was said that the hot spring here was introduced from a natural spring. Through the huge one-way window, they could also enjoy the bustling night view of the main star.

Luo Yu took off his bathrobe and soaked quietly for a while. During this time, a waiter brought sake in an exquisite ceramic cup. Luo Yu took a sip and found it sweet and mellow.

As the night fell, Luo Yu felt calmer than ever before and drank a whole pot of wine without realizing it.

His alcohol tolerance wasn’t particularly bad, but it wasn’t great either. One pot was about his limit. After a while, he started to feel dizzy.

Why hadn’t Pei Kong found him yet?

Could he be in some trouble? He needed to go look for him. Luo Yu dried himself and put on his bathrobe again, and went back to look for him. Thinking that the hot spring area was only a few steps away from the locker room, Luo Yu tied his bathrobe belt casually. His hair was also wet from the steam, but it would dry quickly in the summer, so Luo Yu didn’t care.

The distance to the separation place was only a few dozen meters away. When he came, there was a waiter to guide him, but now he was alone. Luo Yu was not familiar with the route and was a little dizzy, so he accidentally took several wrong turns. He was a little anxious, and just when he wanted to ask the waiter, he ran into a group of people coming out of the reception room.
