    “Mingxia, are you okay?”

     

    After bidding the staff farewell, the roommates couldn’t help but ask when they saw Ji Mingxia was silent and didn’t say anything.

     

    Ji Mingxia raised his head and found that everyone was looking at him with concern.

     

    At the moment, he had countless questions and doubts in his mind. The feeling of everyone except him and Yu Ning losing their memories of yesterday night was really unpleasant.

     

    However, they had come out for a holiday, and to Zhao Zhuoye and the others, there were no thrilling memories of last night, all they remember was a relaxing and enjoyable holiday routine.

     

    Everyone had just finished the college entrance exams and had spent a large sum of money to come out and have fun. Since everyone had forgotten and only the two of them remembered, then there was no need to add to the others’ troubles.

     

    After all, for ordinary people, there are no such thing as *gods and ghosts in this world, and they lived their daily lives in a calm and uneventful manner.

    *Metaphor for supernatural/mysterious things.

     

    With this thought, Ji Mingxia tried to adjust his facial expression, “Maybe …… I went to bed really early last night and my memory got confused, I’m sorry.”

     

    “Ha! there’s nothing to be sorry for.”

     

    “It’s normal. I often eat late night snacks too and still feel like I didn’t.”

     

    “Maybe you suddenly released the stress after the entrance exams and got some delusions. But it doesn’t matter, we’re here on holiday, you just need to adjust for a few days.”

     

    “Relax and take it easy, we’re all here with you.”

     

    The roommates all said soothingly.

     

    They had planned to go to the nearby aquarium, a sand sculpture exhibition and other scenic spots in the afternoon, but in consideration of Ji Mingxia’s emotional state, the roommates discussed it and decided to take Ji Mingxia to the hotel spa to relax.

     

    “The online reviews are super high, so let’s all try it and relax.”

     

    “You sound so ambiguous when you say that.”

     

    “What ambiguity? You’re *head is full of yellow waste, don’t pollute my purity!”

    *a head full of yellow waste--Always thing of sex or things related to sex.

     

    “Pure? You?”

     

    “We all wrote with so much spirit for the sake of the entrance exams and our hands are almost deformed. Who doesn’t have cervical spondylosis or something. Let's relax the body so that we can walk tomorrow.”

     

    “Mingxia, we have a group purchase package ah, which one do you want?” Zhao Zhouye asked.

     

    Ji Mingxia’s mind was full of the strange phenomena happening in this hotel and he was unfamiliar with this kind of spa. So on hearing Zhao Zhouye’s question, Ji Mingxia casually said, “I can do any, you guys help me choose.”

     

    “There are exactly six kinds, so let’s each try one.” Zhao Zhouye said.

     

    Everyone was trying to liven up the atmosphere on the way and Ji Mingxia tried his best to cooperate and they soon arrived at the spa. There were private rooms with two beds, and Ji Mingxia was naturally assigned to a group with Yu Ning.

     

    When the roommates had all left, Ji Mingxia immediately looked at Yu Ning: “We’re the only ones who remember last night.”

     

    Although the ghost at this hotel had not caused any casualties so far, its coverage was extensive and the methods were bizarre and completely unpredictable.

     

    Yu Ning concluded, “Illusions, spatial disruptions, and erasing most people’s memories, that’s a total of three abilities displayed.”

     

    Ji Mingxia tried to recall the plot of the book. A powerful mysterious item can indeed do any of these. But a mysterious item with three abilities at the same time is so powerful, and a very rare thing.

     

    “This pair of rings had never appeared before. We got our hands on the first one, and while turning people into ghosts is kinda scary, it could only deal with one person at a time."

     

    “This one now, however, has brainwashed the entire hotel …… The difference in the two rings’ abilities is a bit wide.”

     

    From the known information, only two points can be confirmed.

     

    First, Li Youzi was at the hotel but the time she appeared, the situation was strange. It was currently unconfirmed as to whether she was alive or dead

     

    Secondly, everyone was brainwashed and lost their memories. Only Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning were fine. It was probably because they possessed the other blood red ring.

     

    Otherwise, if it was another mysterious item at work, it would make sense if Yu Ning was not disturbed. But why would Ji Mingxia, an ordinary mortal, have been spared?

     

    The most amazing thing about the whole incident was that it had managed to make everyone lose their memories without leaving any evidence at all yet they were in modern times with highly developed technology.

     

    When you think about it, the incident happened all of a sudden yesterday, and because lives were at stake, everyone’s focus was on the people involved.

     

    The hotel handled the incident very swiftly. And although Ji Mingxia and Zhao Zhouye almost drowned, they quickly accepted the hotel’s apology due to the sincere attitude of the manager.

     

    In the absence of a conflict, no one would have taken photos, recorded or anything like that to leave evidence.

     

    The only unpredictable thing would have been when they left the hotel reception room and returned to their bedrooms. A single tweet, or chat in the group would have left some traces.

     

    Unfortunately, they were all too tired yesterday and all of them were so frightened that they ended up not saying a word and immediately went to sleep.

     

    But …… considering that the hotel’s surveillance was out of order… If the other side intended to prevent them from communicating, all they needed to do was interfere with the network equipment and everyone would be unable to go online and chat in the group.

     

    Having just experienced life and death, the average person wouldn't have much of a mind to go online, and after realizing that the internet was not working well, it’s easy to stop and choose to rest.

     

    Such a misadventure, coupled with the necessary and deliberate interruptions, eventually led to this situation where no evidence or clue could be found.

     

    In this way, what the driver of the commercial vehicle said was not only true, but that the details were even worth examining and scrutinizing.

     

    The zero bad reviews of this hotel since it was established were now not so credible.

     

    Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning discussed the matter, but unfortunately, there was too little information known at the moment, which prevented them from coming to a conclusion.

     

    At that moment, the door of the room was pushed open and two technicians, dressed in overalls and wearing masks, walked in slowly.

     

    When someone entered, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning immediately stopped their discussion.

     

    Ji Mingxia even looked at the staff with some caution.

     

    From last night to today, the series of events that had happened were not as frightening as the ghost at the school, but it was as if there was an invisible pair of eyes hovering over the hotel, secretly watching everything.

     

    At this moment, Ji Mingxia was distrustful of everyone except for Yu Ning.

     

    “May I ask who customer number a5 is?” A little technician brother inquired.

     

    Ji Mingxia glanced at the sign he was holding. This was the package identification assigned to each person before entering the door, and seeing that the sign he was holding said a5, Ji Mingxia raised his hand like he did in class, “It’s me.”

     

    The little technician brother was stunned with the way he raised his hand. His eyes crossed over Ji Mingxia’s obviously young face, and said, “Take off all your clothes.”

     

    Ji Mingxia was confused: “What?”

     

    The little technician brother gestured as he arranged his tools, “Strip naked and change your underwear too.”

     

    “Strip naked?!” Ji Mingxia’s eyes widened as he glanced at Yu Ning in an almost clueless manner and stumbled, “Can, can I not take them off?”

     

    The little technician almost laughed at Ji Mingxia’s silly expression, “You purchased the full body spa package, you must be naked for it.”

     

    Ji Mingxia: “……”

     

    He was not paying attention, what kind of messy package did Zhao Zhouye choose for him ah!

    (╯‵□′)╯︵┻┻

     

    “Is there another package I can change to, I don’t need a full body spa,” Ji Mingxia said in a hurry.

     

    “Your friend chose the head massage, you can choose the same as him.” The little technician brother said, and couldn’t help but laugh, “When you ordered your package, you specifically specified that you wanted a male technician to work on you. Now that all who are present are men, why are you still embarrassed?”

     

    Ji Mingxia laughed dryly and quickly chose the same treatment package as Yu Ning.

     

    He had worked so hard last night and had managed to escape a disaster, so he certainly couldn’t afford to lose everything today.

     

    He could undress in front of anyone in the hotel, just not Yu Ning!!!

     

    He refused to stand with Yu Ning and compare sizes!

     

    This was his last dtand as a straight man of steel! ╭(╯^╰)╮!

     

    With the incident of the full body package, Ji Mingxia’s originally tense mood was inexplicably relaxed.

     

    This was especially true because the little technician who served Ji Mingxia was a chatterbox.

     

    Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning were positioned in beds left and right to each other, and they lay down while the two technicians got to work.

     

    The technician in charge of Yu Ning was quiet and did not say a word except for the necessary reminders.

     

    On the contrary, the little technician brother in charge of Ji Mingxia seemed to be particularly interested in him, perhaps  he had been amused by him in the opening scene.

     

    As he applied pressure to Ji Mingxia’s head, he chatted with him about everything.

     

    Upon learning that Ji Mingxia and the others were all students who had just recently come of age, had finished their college entrance exams and were preparing to go to university, the little technician brother immediately laughed and said, “No wonder you all look so young and energetic.”

     

    Ji Mingxia said, “We’re okay.”

     

    “But even though you are young, you have to take care of yourself. Girls nowadays are very conscious of this, and as a boy, you have to be a little more knowledgeable, otherwise you won’t be able to please your girlfriend.” The little technician said, “Do you know the steps for girls to remove makeup and wash their faces, the usual maintenance precautions, and to identify popular lipstick shades?”

     

    Ji Mingxia: “Uh …… I’m not interested in those things.”

     

    “You don’t even know.” The little technician brother said, slightly surprised, “You’ll never find a girlfriend that way.”

     

    Ji Mingxia smiled dryly, “I don’t really need one for the time being.”

     

    Not to mention the fact that he had transmigrated into a book, even before he did, he was still a homebody.

     

    His spiritual world was rich, family and friendships are all there, love…… it's optional, it depends on fate.

     

    However, when the little technician brother heard Ji Mingxia's answer, his eyes lit up: "No need? You're so young but you're not in a hurry to find a girlfriend? Do you usually hang out with friends of the same sex?"

     

    Ji Mingxia gave an “mmm”.

     

    The little technician's eyes were almost curved as he smiled: “I don’t get along with girls either. I only like to hang out with friends of the same sex, especially when I’m sad. They comfort me and hug me, which makes me feel especially happy.”

     

    Ji Mingxia smiled when he heard the words. He only felt that the little technician brother was a bit strange, as if there was something in his words.

     

    But he couldn’t pick out any faults at first glance. He just thought this technician brother was a more delicate guy and gave an “mmm” again.

     

    When the little technician saw this, he put his finger on Ji Mingxia’s face after massaging his head and said in his ear, “Your skin is very good, you don’t have a single pimple at this age. And although your skin is so white, there are no spots or pores at all! It looks very delicate.”

     

    Ji Mingxia only felt that his voice was too close to him and his ears had itchy since the morning. He felt his ear tingle, and he couldn’t help but shrink his shoulders to avoid it a little.

     

    Seeing this, the little technician brother secretly smiled in his heart. He switched sides and said, “The nose is high, the lips are well shaped, and the teeth are so neat.”

     

    Ji Mingxia’s other shoulder was almost shrinking.

     

    The little technician laughed inwardly at how sensitive Ji Mingxia was. He was about to continue teasing him when a cool breeze suddenly blew in, causing an inexplicable chill to run down his spine.

     

    As the client was lying down to enjoy the massage, the temperature in the room was just right. It was not too low and not too high, and by definition, there could not be a cool breeze.

     

    But the little technician brother just felt a chill sweep over him. It was so cold that he got goosebumps all over his body.

     

    The little technician brother didn't care about teasing Ji Mingxia anymore, and he quickly raised his head to look around. When he met Yu Ning’s cold gaze, the little technician brother trembled and he almost pressed the wrong spot.

     

    As soon as his hand stopped, Ji Mingxia, who was lying down, immediately felt it. He opened his eyes and gave the mechanic brother a strange look, “What’s wrong?”

     

    The little technician heard Ji Mingxia’s voice and instantly came back to his senses.

     

    He shook his head and was just about to continue working when suddenly, he glanced at Ji Mingxia and stole a glance at Yu Ning who was not far away, and a flash of clarity passed through his eyes.

     

    “So that’s how it is…” the little technician brother came to a realization and a look of annoyance appeared on his face.

     

    Ji Mingxia looked at little technician brother strangely.

     

    The little technician brother looked at his black and white eyes, his beautiful nose bone and jawline. His eyes then passed over Ji Mingxia's porcelain skin and pink lips, and he sighed faintly. In the end said nothing, he diligently and dutifully continued to massage.

     

    In fact, they had noticed Ji Mingxia’s group as soon as they entered the spa.

     

    A group of energetic youngsters, all good looking, walked in together in a group. It was hard to ignore them.

     

    Among them, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning were undoubtedly the best looking and that’s why he took the initiative to come over to this group.

     

    His target was originally Yu Ning, but when he got a good look at Yu Ning’s looks and aura, the little technician brother quickly gave up.

     

    Although he was handsome, he seemed to have a somber temperament and was not good at communicating at first glance, let alone flirting.…

     

    In contrast, although Ji Mingxia next to him was slightly inferior in looks, he was completely in line with the appearance of boys of this age.  Although he didn’t look like an attacker, he was very young, and completely different from the flirtatious sluts he knew.

     

    Especially the silly way he raised his hand. He looked like a little brother at first glance.

     

    But even after all his calculations, he didn’t expect that they were actually a pair!

     

    Looking at Yu Ning’s appearance, he knew with his toes that Ji Mingxia was definitely the shou!

     

    What a waste!

     

    The little technician’s inner suspicions were soon corroborated by the facts.

     

    The head massage package included soothing the entire facial features, and after the facial massage, it was time to pick the ears.

     

    Ji Mingxia's ear canal was unexpectedly clean, but somewhat reddened, with the flush faintly visible

     

    "Are your ears a little uncomfortable?" The little technician brother enquired.

     

    "A little." Ji Mingxia said.

     

    His ear canal was naturally clean, so he didn't have to dig out his ears often. The disadvantage was that there was no protection from those cerumens, and once a foreign object got in, it could easily cause inflammation.

     

    He reckoned that it was because he had fallen into the lake last night, and hadn't cleaned his ears in time after water got in them, which must have caused the allergy.

     

    Although the lake at the hotel looked clean and clear, it was raw water after all. Fortunately, it wasn't too dirty, so the situation wasn't serious and Ji Mingxia was only slightly uncomfortable.

     

    "I'll give you a gentle rub. Remember to tell me in time if you feel anything." The little technician brother said, taking the ear-picking tool and carefully handling it.

     

    It was Ji Mingxia’s first time having his ears picked, and once the feather stick went in, all the muscles in his body tensed up.

     

    The little brother had a good ear-picking technique, but Ji Mingxia's ears were at a special period. He initially tried to endure, but his ear canal was sensitive after all, and he finally whispered, “It's too deep…”

     

    The little technician brother immediately pulled the feather stick out some.

     

    “You can go in a little, that's too much, hiss…”

     

    “Gently...gently.”

     

    “No no, I can't take it…”

     

    The little technician brother also didn't know what was going on, his hands were shaking frequently. Ji Mingxia finally couldn't take it. He asked the little technician brother to just stop, and as soon as the words left his mouth, the little technician brother stopped moving and put away the ear picking tools.

     

    When Ji Mingxia opened his eyes, he saw the little technician brother sitting rigidly. He seemed to be so cold that the expression on his face looked a little stiff.

     

    Seeing Ji Mingxia looking at him, the little technician brother wanted to cry without tears, “I was wrong! I thought you were straight at first, but I didn't expect that we were all the same.”

     

    Ji Mingxia: “Huh?”

     

    The little technician brother said sincerely, “I’m the one who ignored the facts. Your voice would be a waste on a gong, you were born to be a shou. You and your boyfriend are a really good match. I wish you a lifetime of love, sex and happiness!”

     

    Ji Mingxia, who was inexplicably blessed: “???”
