“Thankfully, electronic payment is an option here, saving me the awkwardness of having to ask random strangers for cash.”

As he spoke, he tore open the antiseptic package, intending to apply it on Lysander with a cotton swab, naturally squatting down in the process.

Lysander thought he was making a mountain out of a molehill, but she couldn’t resist his persistence. Reluctantly, she extended her hand and said, “I’ll do it myself.”

Lysander studied his prominent nose, contemplating his serious expression. A swirl of emotions stirred within her, a complex blend she couldn’t quite pinpoint:

Lysander felt an inexplicable sting in her nose.

Upon lifting his gaze, Josiah noticed an unusual glint in her eyes, immediately causing him to worry, “Does it hurt?”

“No.” Lysander gently shook her head. “How’s the wound on your leg? You didn’t get it wet in the shower, did you?”

“No, I was extra careful,” Josiah responded, suddenly flashing a mysterious smile. “By the way, can you guess what I overheard the receptionist saying when I went to get the second room key?”

Lysander didn’t think he’d appreciate being seen as a freeloader. She asked with confusion, “Has the misunderstanding been cleared up?”

“No.” Josiah chuckled.

“I wasn’t familiar with the local roads, so I told them I was buying medicine for my girlfriend and needed to know where the pharmacy was. When I returned, I overheard the receptionist and the cleaning lady discussing how impressive my customer service was…”

His expression was calm, indicating that he had already accepted the situation.

A smile tugged at the corner of Lysander’s mouth. “I’ll still have to find a chance to explain.”

“What’s there to explain? We won’t be staying for more than a few days. Pay no heed to it.”

“Are you willing to be misunderstood as a toy boy?”

Josiah posed a direct counter–question to her. “Our relationship is either the wealthy woman and her toy boy, or boyfriend and girlfriend. Which of these roles would you prefer?”

Lysander bit her lip.

It seemed as though Josiah had seen through her thoughts from the very beginning, his demeanor relaxed. “So, let them believe I’m just a toy boy,” he said nonchalantly.
