Chapter 161: Is That Really All?

Looking at her obedient yet flustered expression, Shen Hanzhi could not help but freeze for a fraction of a second.

For a moment, her well-behaved appearance actually softened his heart.

A moment later, he took a deep breath, furrowed his brows, and lowered his voice to say, "Answer my question properly."

Lin Nanxun hid her face beneath the quilt for a long while, keeping her large, round eyes fixed on the slightly stern-looking man in front of her.

Only when she was certain that the bad guy did not seem angry did she slowly lower the blanket, then answered him cautiously, "Zhou Bei gave me the key..." So she came in.

The key she referred to was actually the room card. Zhou Bei had given it to her because he was afraid she would wander around the resort and be unable to get back in.

Hearing her reply, Shen Hanzhi’s dark eyes paused. He moved his Adam's apple and spoke to her in a low, deep voice, "That's not what I asked."

That was not what he wanted to know.

At these words, a blank expression appeared on Lin Nanxun’s face, as she completely failed to understand his meaning.

Wasn't he asking how she got here?

Seeing that she did not understand, Shen Hanzhi pressed his thin lips together and, with remaining patience, continued to question her, "Last night... why did you come looking for me?"

He narrowed his deep, cold eyes, a glimmer of expectation hidden within their chill.

Hearing him ask this, Lin Nanxun’s face turned serious. Without a moment's hesitation, she answered happily, "Because... bad guy, your bed is so comfortable!"

Though she had no idea what made it comfortable, every time he was by her side, she felt a profound sense of comfort.

As soon as she finished speaking, the man’s expression stiffened.

The bed was comfortable?

The reason she came looking for him last night was simply because of this?

At the thought of this, his stern face grew even gloomier...

A wave of displeasure instantly welled up deep inside him.

"Every bed in this hotel is the same," he said tightly, frowning with severity.

The mattresses in all the hotel rooms at this resort were of the highest comfort grade, so there was no such thing as one bed being more comfortable than another.

"They're not the same..." Lin Nanxun shook her head.

Upon hearing her response, the man narrowed his eyes once more, a flash of brightness sweeping across his gaze.

Lin Nanxun pondered for a moment, then muttered, "You have the same feeling as my grandparents."

The bad guy possessed that same feeling of intimacy and reassurance she used to have when she was with her grandparents, yet it also seemed to carry something extra.

That was why she always wanted to lean on him; simply staying by his side gave her an extraordinary sense of peace and security.

As Lin Nanxun’s voice trailed off, the gleam in Shen Hanzhi’s eyes vanished instantly, replaced by an indescribable look, and his complexion darkened once more.

He remained silent for a long while before asking with a frown, "Just because of this?"

"Mmm." Lin Nanxun nodded gently.

"..." The man fell silent again.

He lowered his gaze, staring intently at the young girl before him, the expression on his handsome face exceptionally complex.

So, the reason she had wanted to be close to him and was willing to cling to him from the very beginning was simply because he reminded her of her grandparents—nothing more?

The more he thought about it, the worse his expression became.

Lin Nanxun watched him cautiously the entire time, terrified that he might still be angry with her for sneaking in last night. Seeing his darkening complexion now, she grew even more worried.

Was the bad guy angry with her?
