Shen Qingzhi knelt on the bed for nearly half an hour, picking up a bunch of petals. Not knowing what method the hotel used, the petals were kept very fresh, and you could smell the scent of roses from a distance.
While picking petals, Shen Qingzhi rubbed her nose and sneezed. For the first time in her life, she found out she was allergic to roses.
During this time, Gu Jinrong took a quick shower and sat on the sofa, watching TV. Occasionally, she glanced over with a caring look, looking leisurely.
However, it was no wonder Gu Jinrong was slacking off. Initially, she had actively offered to help, but Shen Qingzhi had a secret in her heart and didn't dare to get too close, leading to her current state of laboring alone.
Shen Qingzhi was sitting by the bed, looking at the rose petals filling a trash can, and wiping the sweat from her forehead.
The dazzling petals were cleaned up, but the weird atmosphere lingered in the air.
Shen Qingzhi had been allergic to Gu Jinrong these past few days, and the hotel's stimulation made her even more uneasy.
If nothing else goes wrong, the two of them will have to be in the same room in the next few days, and it would be outrageous to be so embarrassed all the time.
No, I have to find something to break the awkwardness!
Shen Qingzhi cheered secretly in her heart, took out two decks of cards from her suitcase, and took the initiative to extend an invitation.
"The room is so boring. Would you like to play cards together, or do you feel like taking a nap now?"
Gu Jinrong turned down the TV volume, responding seriously to this seemingly boring suggestion, "I don't want to take a nap for now. What card game do you want to play, Qingqing?"
"Can we play Fight the Landlord?" Shen Qingzhi schemed in her mind. The game itself didn't matter; what mattered was finding a way to involve others.
"I can, but the two of us are not enough."
"Wait, I'll go get people." Shen Qingzhi was waiting for this and immediately grabbed the cards, heading to knock on the door of room 3328.
She knocked on the door a dozen times, but there was no movement inside.
Shen Qingzhi murmured in her heart: Shen Hanzhi and the others had just returned home less than half an hour ago, right??
She was about to take out her phone to make a call, but the door opened and Shen Hanzhi, wrapped in a towel, stood at the doorway with a face flushed from the steam.
"Do you need something?" Shen Hanzhi's tone was somewhat cold.
Shen Qingzhi raised the deck of cards, feeling inexplicably timid. "Is Kexin here? I want to play cards with her."
"She is busy." These three words were even colder.
Shen Qingzhi was used to being scolded by her own sister since she was a child, so she didn't mind the unfriendly tone. "If she's not coming, you can come."
"I'm not free either." Shen Hanzhi refused twice in a row, speaking concisely.
Unwillingly, Shen Qingzhi peeked into the room, thinking that Yu Kexin should be more approachable than Shen Hanzhi.
But despite her efforts to look around, she couldn't see anyone, only a scattered floor of rose petals.
Shen Hanzhi turned to the center of the door, blocking Shen Qingzhi's gaze, and directly issued an eviction order, "It's private rest time now. Contact us for group activities after 6 p.m."
Is it necessary for sisters on vacation to be so strict?
Shen Qingzhi stared at her sister, and finally noticed that the rosy complexion on her face wasn't from a steamy shower but rather frustration and dissatisfaction!
Shen Qingzhi, who finally came to her senses, felt aggrieved and said, "Then I won't disturb you anymore, I'm going back...”
Although she said that, if Shen Hanzhi changed her mind and wanted to play cards now, Shen Qingzhi wouldn't refuse.
"Wait a moment."
Perhaps Shen Qingzhi's inner prayer had an effect. Shen Hanzhi stopped her when she turned around and took a step forward.
"Jie, did you change your mind? Do you want to play cards now?" Shen Qingzhi flashed to the doorway in a second.
Ignoring her, Shen Hanzhi went straight into the room but didn't close the door.
Shen Qingzhi stood at the door, not sure what she meant.
After waiting for less than a minute, Shen Hanzhi reappeared and tossed a small box into Shen Qingzhi's arms.
"Don't say I treated you unfairly. It's an imported, top-selling, ultra-thin brand. I'm giving you a box. Be brave, and don't knock on the door before 6 p.m."
What?
Shen Qingzhi took a look at the box and blushed instantly.
Finger cots…
"Jie, it's still daytime."
Her response was the resolute sound of the door closing.
Shen Qingzhi left the room alone, and when she returned, she was still alone. Gu Jinrong didn't find it surprising at all.
"Hanzhi must have something to attend to. Actually, playing cards with two people is fine, like Seven Ghosts, Five, Two, Three."
Not only unsurprised but also thoughtfully providing an alternative.
If they had agreed to play cards with just the two of them from the beginning, they might have finished a round of Seven Ghosts, Five, Two, Three by now.
However, Shen Qingzhi had just experienced the baptism from her own sister, holding a hot potato in her hands. How can she still think about playing cards?
She originally intended to discreetly dispose of the box without anyone noticing. However, she couldn't find a suitable place to throw it away in the entire building's hallway.
She couldn't just toss it on the floor, so she had no choice but to hide it and bring it back to their room.
She originally thought that the room was so big that it wouldn't be difficult to find a corner to hide it quietly.
As a result, as soon as she entered the room, she met Gu Jinrong's direct gaze.
At this moment, any small scheme she might have had could instantly be seen through.
With one hand behind her back, Shen Qingzhi entered the room like a crab.
Gu Jinrong's eyes looked brighter than light bulbs at the moment, and there was no way she could ignore them.
"Your pajama style today is quite nice. Is it custom-made?"
"It's Miracle's latest season. Last time, you complained that this style was too revealing."
Shen Qingzhi:..
She is guilty. She did not recognize her brand sponsor the second time, but that is not the point now.
"Oh, that's right. You were standing a little far away and I didn't see it clearly."
Shen Qingzhi explained, trying to make up for her oversight while moving sideways toward the bedside.
She just noticed that there was a large gap at the bottom of the cabinet next to the bedside. She could easily slide the box into it later.
However, at this moment, Gu Jinrong seemed to be challenging her.
Originally, there was quite a distance between them, but suddenly Gu Jinrong appeared next to her as if in opposition. "If Qingqing likes it, I can stand closer to show you."
"No, no, no….no need." Shen Qingzhi hurriedly tried to push her away with one hand. However, in her haste, she lost her balance, slipped, and tumbled onto the bed.
Gu Jinrong hurriedly reached out to pull, but the sudden force not only prevented her from lifting Shen Qingzhi but also caused her to tumble onto the bed alongside her.
The bed was very soft, so it wasn't a harsh fall, but the box that Shen Qingzhi had tried so hard to hide broke open, and all the contents were scattered on the bed.
Shen Qingzhi was about to turn to stone. At that moment, she didn't care about the soft body still on top of her. She frantically grabbed a small bag from the bed and stuffed its contents back into the box. In a matter of moments, she managed to fill the box to its brim.

Finally, she air-dropped the box into the cabinet next to the bed with lightning speed.
Even if it's just covering one's ears to steal a bell, it's still better than doing nothing at all.
However, in her haste, she overlooked two small bags that had scattered a bit farther.
Gu Jinrong propped herself up, watching Shen Qingzhi perform this rapid and skillful series of actions. She smiled gently and even thoughtfully picked up the two overlooked small bags, handing them to Shen Qingzhi.
"Qingqing, are you looking for these?"
The finger cots, being imported and popular, had exquisite packaging inside and out. The large English letters boldly presented in front of Shen Qingzhi nearly blinded her. The polite words of thanks were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't bring herself to say them.
Shen Qingzhi looked conflicted, biting her lip. With a considerable amount of courage, she finally took the item from Gu Jinrong's hand.
She quickly closed her hand around the bag, but her hand returned empty. To her surprise, Gu Jinrong had actually opened the small bag! She opened it with an air of seriousness.
"Heaven, I heard this brand is quite good. I've bought some myself. It's a pity to just randomly throw them away like this." Gu Jinrong said, continuing to open it as if it were a matter of great importance.
"I didn't buy this, Shen Hanzhi forced it on me!" Shen Qingzhi quickly retorted, fearing that a second's delay might lead to misunderstanding.
"It seems Hanzhi thinks things through thoroughly, unlike some people..." Gu Jinrong sighed with a hint of sadness.
"What's wrong with some people?" Shen Qingzhi's competitiveness overshadowed her embarrassment for a moment, and her voice rose several degrees. What bothered her the most since she was a child was being compared to Shen Hanzhi. After a few peaceful years, now this again?
"Some people have two faces, one in bed and one outside. They don't acknowledge it when they're dressed, and after sleeping with someone, they don't want to take responsibility." Gu Jinrong's words seemed to hit home, and the grievances in her expression were about to overflow.
Shen Qingzhi was shocked: Did I lose a memory? How do I remember being the one slept with?
Gu Jinrong's grievances were so genuine at this moment that she began to lose confidence in her own memory, so she carefully confirmed, "Mm...I don't think I've done anything to you yet, right?"
Gu Jinrong squinted her eyes, recalling the events of the past few days, and accused, "At that time, you said you wanted to continue, but you didn't know how. I kindly taught you for a long time, but you didn't practice. You're not true to your word."
Shen Qingzhi finally grasped the meaning behind Gu Jinrong's words. Was she supposed to be the top?
Such a gorgeous beauty took the initiative to send out an invitation. Wouldn't she look like a loser if she refused to be the top?
Shen Qingzhi's frightened heart began to stir again. She forced herself to calmly glance at the thing in Gu Jinrong's hand, her eyes rolling, "Do you want me to use that?"
"It's not a bad idea." Gu Jinrong placed the dismantled finger cot in Shen Qingzhi's hand, looking tender and gentle, as if presenting an exquisite gift.
Shen Qingzhi, who had suppressed her sensitivity for a long time, felt her heart pounding incessantly. The rhythmic heartbeat could even be heard clearly in the spacious room.
With determination, she grabbed the item she had previously wanted to discard, and with an air of confidence, she uttered a powerful sentence.
"Wait a moment. I'll go get ready!"
