Finding Stardust

Chapter 13

Emma gazed at Haoran without blinking. She was trying to see if Haoran was joking, or if he was deliberately taking advantage of her.

There were no whatsoever signs of those in his eyes.

Haoran really looked sincere with his words to take care of Emma.

"I don"t sleepwalk", Emma thought to herself. She had lied to Haoran, but the young man took her words seriously. She didn"t know how to convince him that she was fine without admitting that she lied.

In the end, she could only nod in resignation. Ah, maybe it"s good to sleep near Haoran tonight. She would be able to ask him about what happened during the last two days. The last thing she remembered was replying to his text at school. And then...

Then what happened?

"Haoran ..." Emma called the boy"s name as soon as the elevator stopped on the 10th floor and the door opened.

"Hmm?" Haoran only turned to her and signaled Emma to follow him. The girl obeyed. They walked side by side and stopped in front of door number 1015, which was located at the very end of the corridor. Haoran opened the door and invited the girl inside. "Let"s talk inside."

As soon as they stepped into the place, Emma was amazed by Haoran"s hotel room. He did not book a standard room, but a very s.p.a.cious luxury suite. Ahh ... how could she forget that the boy was the son of the fifth most affluent person in Asia?

"You are not staying in a standard room?" Still, Emma felt compelled to ask. Haoran frowned and tapped her forehead softly.

"You already knew this. How can you forget?" he asked, astonished.

Emma was about to say that she could not remember anything that had taken place for the past two days, but later changed her mind. She did not know how to explain it to Haoran. This was why she could only shrug.

"I don"t remember. That"s all." She stared at him for a long time, and suddenly realized something.

She did not hear those voices. When she was with Haoran, she could no longer hear the thoughts of those around him like when the blackout had just occurred. Was that ability only a temporal one?

Or was Haoran"s presence blocking those voices?

She also just realized that he could not read his mind.

Ahh ... this was really such a confusing night. There were so many questions raging in her mind, but she didn"t know the answers. How nice it would be to meet her parents and ask them everything.


"Why are you looking at me like that?" Haoran asked while closing the door. He watched as she stared at him in a strange manner. "Is there something on my face?"

The girl shook her head. "No. I"m just confused. There are some things I can"t remember."

Haoran nodded. "Maybe it"s because you were sleepwalking. You"d better rest now, and we"ll talk again tomorrow. I"ll tell you everything you want to know. Now go to sleep. It"s almost 2 in the morning."

Emma glanced around the suite and noticed that in the s.p.a.cious suite there was one bedroom, a nice bathroom, a large living room with a comfortable sofa, a sitting room, and even a dining room. Crazy! This place was even bigger than her Grandma Lin"s whole apartment.

She finally nodded and walked toward the couch where she planned to lie down.

"Alright ... let"s go to sleep now," Emma said, throwing herself on the sofa.

"What are you doing there?" He asked in bewilderment. "You sleep in the room. I"ll be on the sofa."

"Eh ...? You should be in the bedroom. This is YOUR suite. I will sleep on the couch. Look, the sofa is big and very comfortable," Emma commented.

Haoran approached the girl and pulled her hand before leading her into his room.

"It"s useless to have you stay here if you will be sleeping in the living room. Later, if you sleepwalk again, how will I know?"

I actually don"t sleepwalk, complained the girl inwardly.

Unfortunately, she had already lied so much and now it would be difficult for her to take back her words. She didn"t want Haoran to think that she was really a liar.

Eventually, she complied and laid down on the bed in Haoran"s room. The young man only felt satisfied after he made sure she had fallen asleep, covered by a blanket. Once everything was settled, the guy then went out of his room to sleep on the couch in the living room.

"Good night," she softly said before Haoran closed the door behind him. He just nodded and smiled.

Emma could not sleep immediately. She was still trying hard to remember what had happened in the past two days. However, more than an hour pa.s.sed and she did not succeed, leaving her with no choice but to give up.

She could only hope that once she fell asleep, she would be able to dream of her parents. She was elated because she finally managed to remember their faces.

Emma woke up at 8 o"clock in the morning. When she opened her eyes, Haoran appeared to be choosing clothes from the closet.

"Eh, did I wake you up? Sorry, I just came in to get some clothes," the young man apologized. "Today"s program starts at 10 AM. We will visit the Louvre Museum. What time do you want to go down for breakfast?"

Emma shook her head. "I don"t know."

"How about 9 AM?" asked the guy. "After breakfast, we can immediately join the other students in the lobby."

The girl got out of bed. "Sure. Then I want to go to my room now to take a shower and change clothes. Do you know what room I am in?"

Haoran nodded. "You"re in room 512."

Emma touched her pockets trying to find the room key but she could not find it.

"My key is gone..." complained the girl.

"Wait here," he said, immediately approaching the telephone at the desk to call the receptionist. He spoke briefly about Emma having lost the key and asked the hotel to send staff with a new key to her suite. The staff on the other end of the phone immediately agreed. Haoran then hung up.

"That sounds very easy," said Emma. "I thought if I lost the room key, the hotel would fine me ..."

Haoran shook his head. "There is no way they would dare to fine you. If they did, I will buy this hotel and fire the staff who asked money from you."

Emma looked at Haoran with a pair of rounded eyes. "What are you talking about? Don"t joke around too much."

He only shrugged and smiled.

Five minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and a hotel clerk came in bringing the room key for Emma. The girl was simply amazed at how convenient life was for the son of the fifth most affluent family in Asia. Whatever he wanted, he could obtain easily.

"Thank you, Haoran. Ah ... how can I be so lucky to be friends with you?" asked the girl with a wide smile on her face as she received the key from the young man"s hand. "I will go to my room first and get ready. See you at the restaurant for breakfast."

"See you later!"

Emma walked out of Haoran"s suite and headed for the elevator. She got into the elevator and pressed the b.u.t.ton for the 5th floor. Ten minutes later, she arrived in her room and got ready.

At exactly nine o"clock, the two met again at the restaurant for breakfast.
