Business Trip Unforgetable

Episode1

The coldest day since the start of winter! And here I am in Tamsui!

What a stroke of bad luck! I was asked to attend this seminar for no reason, and it just had to be on the coldest day of the year! In the coldest place!

From the very beginning, when my advisor asked me to attend this seminar and present a paper, I was quite unhappy. It wasn't even my paper, and it wouldn't help me graduate at all. Why should I go? And I had to prepare a report on the paper. As a student, all I could do was silently accept it.

Once I got on the bus and settled into a fairly comfortable seat, the thick windows kept the cold wind outside, and it seemed like I could finally rest. Before the bus even started playing a movie, I had already dozed off.

When I arrived in Taipei, it was freezing! Braving the cold wind, I walked over to the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi area, feeling like I was about to turn into an ice sculpture. But compared to the homeless people huddled in the corners of Taipei Main Station, I was much better off. At least I was wearing thick clothes.

I randomly found a hotel, which was quite shabby and located upstairs. If there were a fire or an earthquake, I probably wouldn't even have time to escape. It would be faster to just prepare for reincarnation.

Entering the room, it was only slightly warmer. But the people next door must have been even warmer, with their moaning and groaning sounds penetrating the walls. I turned on the TV and flipped through the channels, landing on a locked channel that surprisingly wasn't locked. It was a fully explicit foreign film. I turned up the volume to the maximum I could tolerate and blasted it towards the wall as a small revenge for their disturbance.

After settling my luggage and warming my hands and feet with hot water, I turned down the TV volume. The sounds from next door had already ceased, and I could finally sleep well.

The next morning, I took the MRT to Tamsui. The sky was drizzling, making it even colder. It felt like the cold wind from hell was seeping into my skin through every pore, chilling me to the bone. However, the organizers at Tamkang University had a clever idea. They found several attractive girls to wear short-sleeved, tight-fitting qipaos, which was quite eye-catching. But I felt sorry for those working girls; in this weather, they probably wouldn't earn enough to buy medicine.

The first day of the seminar had nothing to do with me. My presentation was scheduled for the second day. So after casually attending a few lectures, I hurriedly took their school bus back to Taipei. But honestly, it wasn't much warmer. Still, hiding in the hotel was better than being outside in the wind.

I went to a nearby internet cafe, "Internet Republic," to go online. I looked for friends on Tiger2, hoping someone could show me around Taipei. But everyone declined, saying it was too cold to go out. Sigh... it seemed my social skills weren't great. Bored, I used up the hours I had bought, then had dinner nearby, bought some snacks, and returned to the hotel. It was incredibly dull.

Bored out of my mind, I watched TV and snacked. An evening isn't that long, especially when it's cold and you feel sleepy. So I went to bed early, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

But I never expected that this sleep would lead to a big event!

In a half-asleep, half-awake state, I vaguely felt someone entering the room. The sound of footsteps approached my bed, and suddenly, I was wide awake! Cold sweat broke out. Could it be that I was so unlucky to encounter... a ghost?!

At that moment, I wished I had fallen asleep completely, unaware of anything. But once I was startled awake, my ears became ten times more sensitive than usual. I could hear every rustle by the bedside, and a chill ran down my spine.

After a while, it became eerily quiet. I couldn't hear a thing. I thought, "Could it have left?" But I didn't have the courage to get up and check. I just shivered and pulled the blanket tightly around me.

It seemed like an eternity passed. In such moments, a second felt like a year. I couldn't hear any sound, so I started comforting myself, "Don't be scared, don't be scared. Maybe I misheard, maybe it was an illusion. Even if it was real, it probably left by now." I kept telling myself not to scare myself, that it must be a mistake, that I must have misheard, that it wasn't a ghost...

But it seemed like fate was against me. Or rather, the ghost was against me! It lifted my blanket! This was no illusion; it was a real sensation. A cold wind had entered the blanket! Then, someone climbed into my bed!!

"Ah!" I couldn't hold back and screamed.

"Ah!" A girl's scream echoed behind me.

I was even more terrified. I rolled off the bed in a panic. Unexpectedly, the girl ghost followed and pressed down on me, pinning me to the floor!

"Hey! What are you doing?!" To my surprise, the ghost spoke!! And she was speaking right next to my face!

"I..."

"What do you mean 'I'? You scared me!"

"I..."

"Stop saying 'I'. You scared me. How are you going to make it up to me?"

"Is this how sleep paralysis works?" I thought, "Why am I so unlucky?"

"Turn on the light! I need to get up!" The ghost said, pushing herself up on me, causing me pain. She even stepped on me, which hurt to the bone.

But with that push and step, I suddenly realized that the ghost's body was warm!

"Are you...?"

Suddenly, the bedside lamp turned on, revealing a completely naked girl sitting at the head of the bed, looking at me with a puzzled expression.

"Me? I should be asking who you are."

"I'm Lily, but you're not Jack, are you?!" The girl looked surprised.

"Me? Maybe in my next life. If you keep scaring me like this, it might be sooner."

"Huh? Why sooner?"

"Because if you scare me to death, I'll reincarnate sooner and become Jack sooner."

"Hehe, you're funny. But you scared me. I almost died from fright."

"Really? Should I apologize then?"

"Yes, of course. Especially since you're staring at me so rudely."

"Huh?!" I was caught off guard. It's a natural reaction for a man to look at a naked woman, especially a pretty one.

Honestly, the girl in front of me was quite sweet-looking. Not the stunning kind of beauty, but the kind that looked just right in every way. She had a slender figure, and sitting at the head of the bed, I estimated she was about 168 to 170 cm tall. In the side light of the bedside lamp, her chest looked quite ample.

"Huh? Blaming me? I'm a man. It's natural to look. If I didn't look at you, you might as well lay an egg."

"Lay an egg? Why would I lay an egg?"

"Aren't dinosaurs oviparous?"

"Hey, you're calling me a dinosaur."

"Injustice! I'm saying if I didn't look at you, you'd be a dinosaur. Besides, if you were considered a dinosaur, humanity might go extinct."

"Why?"

"Because all men would prefer dinosaurs over humans, and humanity would go extinct."

"Hehe, you're really funny. But since you said I'm good-looking, I'll forgive you."

It's strange. I didn't need to apologize, so why did I need her forgiveness?

"But you saw me naked. How are you going to make it up to me?"

"Make it up? How? Should I strip naked for you too?" I thought it was already generous of me not to ask for compensation. Now she wanted me to make it up to her? Of course, I played along and pretended to pull down my pants.

"No! I don't want to see!"

"Alright, you said you didn't want to, not me." Girls always surrender when guys play this trick. I secretly laughed as I pulled my pants back up.

"Wait, hey, you're so bad. Taking advantage and then acting innocent." Her expression suddenly changed. "No way, you can't trick me like this. I want to see too! What now? Are you going to strip or not?"

"You..."

"What do you mean 'you'? Not stripping? A man should keep his word. Hehe, if you don't strip, I'll help you."

"Do you really want me to strip?"

"Take them off! Are you scared?"

After saying this, the girl actually started to take off my pants. Before I could react, she had already stripped me completely. Now, in this freezing weather, a man and a woman were stark naked in a hotel room, with only one bed and a thick quilt...

"So... so cold," we both said simultaneously.

Next, I grabbed the quilt and dove under it, and she grabbed the other end, obviously with the same idea. Our naked bodies collided and pushed against each other, causing us to exclaim in surprise...

"Wow! You're so perverted! You bumped into my chest!"

"Ouch! Stop kicking around, you hit my sensitive area!"

"You... move over a bit, stop touching my butt!"

"Ah! Be careful! Your nails are scratching me!"

After a chaotic struggle, I was finally kicked off the bed, shivering as I hurriedly put on my clothes.

"Hey, bring me my clothes," the girl ordered, treating me like a servant.

I walked over, picked up her clothes, but instead of handing them to her, I placed them on the sofa and sat in front of them, blocking her access.

"Hey, what are you doing? Give me my clothes!"

"Hmph, you wish. I'm not giving you your clothes until you explain everything."

"Ah!? Oh..." The girl seemed to realize we were in a strange situation.

"Who are you? Why did you come into my room and harass me?"

"I... your room? Isn't this room number six?"

"Miss, this is room number nine. Are you blind? Can't you tell the difference between six and nine?"

"But I clearly saw it was six!"

"Ugh, give me a break. You didn't even suspect anything when you walked into the wrong room and found someone else in the bed? You couldn't see that?"

"I... how would I know? There was supposed to be someone in the bed! The light was so dim, how could I tell the difference between you and him?"

"Ah! Are you saying there was supposed to be a man in your bed?"

"Hey, what are you talking about? Who said it was a man?"

"Oh, sorry, my mistake." I said, but anyone could tell I wasn't sincere.

"Hmph, remember this."

"Yes, I'll remember." I paused and then said, "But remember what?"

"You!" "Alright, alright..." The girl stopped talking.

"Hey, not talking anymore? You still haven't told me who you are."

"Hmph, not telling." She was pouting.

"Not telling? Fine." I said slowly, "I'll just take your clothes to the front desk and report that there's a naked female thief in my room. I don't think you'd run around naked, would you?"

"You wouldn't dare!"

"I wouldn't? I really wouldn't."

I was furious. Although I had seen her naked, the dim light didn't offer much of a view. Some accidental physical contact had let me cop a feel, but she had kneed me in the groin, which still hurt. So, despite the beautiful girl in front of me, I was still angry.

I stood up, grabbed her clothes, and started to walk out. She panicked.
