"It's not convenient!"
SLAM! The small window was shut forcefully.
Fang Shuwen's smile froze on his face.
He turned back to look at Long Qingzhi and pointed to his own face.
"Was my smile not sincere enough? Or is my face just too scary-looking?"
"No, not at all."
Long Qingzhi said with great certainty:
"There's nothing wrong with your smile. Besides, Brother Fang, you're very handsome!"
Fang Shuwen thought her answer was quite apt, so he started banging on the door again.
CLICK!
This time, the pair of aged eyes were filled with deep impatience.
"What do you want?"
Fang Shuwen put on his smile again.
"Old sir, please, cut us some slack.
"We travelers truly have nowhere else to go. There's no village ahead and no inn behind us. Yours is the only inhabited place in this villa. How about you let us stay for one night?
"We'll leave first thing in the morning."
The old man took a deep breath, seemingly trying to suppress his impatience.
