It was a little after 11 PM when Xu Yun returned to the hotel.
Su Mu had already returned before him. Having already showered, she was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
'Looks like she was waiting for me.'
'But women will be women. They never say what they mean and always like to play coy.'
When Xu Yun asked, she denied it. "No, I was just about to watch a little TV before bed."
"I'm going to go take a shower then."
Su Mu smiled and asked, "Need me to draw you a bath?"
"No, it's fine. I'll do it myself."
With that, he went into the bathroom and started to wash up.
Of course, Su Mu didn't actually stay put and watch TV. She picked up Xu Yun's clothes and put them on a hanger to keep them from wrinkling.
As she was hanging them up, though, she couldn't help but take a sniff. She smelled alcohol, and a woman's perfume.
'So he was on a date with a beauty tonight, huh?'
'Then why did he come back?'
'Did he strike out?'
