Chapter 1313: Film Festival Part 6
"What’s the matter, Feng?" Carmen approached him with a concerned look. "Did you get overwhelmed by the city’s atmosphere?"
She then touched his forehead and wondered if she should call an ambulance.
There was a slight possibility that people from lower-grade cities might not be adaptable to the first-grade city’s environment.
However, such cases were very scarce and almost non-existent.
In fact, most of the time, patients from lower-graded cities would turn for the better when granted the chance to come to higher-graded cities for treatment.
A few moments later, Xu Feng snapped out of his daze.
He had to snap out of it anyway when Carmen kept roaming his body everywhere with her hands.
"I’m fine," he held her hand and said gently.
"Are you sure?"
"Mhm, just recalled some memories."
’Memories?’ She raised an eyebrow in confusion. Carmen was certain he had never been to Green Flame City before.
Still, she didn’t get the time to brood over it when her phone notification rang.
"Ah, our car is here already. We need to get going." She exclaimed, grabbed Xu Feng’s hand, and began dragging him to the designated spot.
Poor Xu Feng was caught off guard and nearly stumbled to the ground.
"How clumsy of you, Feng!" She teased him.
"Was that my fault?" He twitched his mouth.
"Mhmm, who told you to not balance yourself properly?"
"I’ve realized you are becoming more unruly."
"Would you prefer my reserved self? I’m afraid it’s not possible now. Your cunningness has corrupted me deeply."
Silent, Xu Feng could only swallow the accusation. Even though it was false, he had no way to prove it.
In the end, the two of them arrived at the designated spot and boarded a somewhat luxurious car.
The car was driverless, so there was no need for them to be awkward with a third party.
Sometime later, the driverless car parked at a hotel.
While Carmen exited the car with casual behavior, Xu Feng was deep in thought.
’Twilight Star Hotel...’ This was the very hotel he was staying in during the celebration pool party of the Reaver Guild, promoted to a Super Guild. It was also the very same place where he was informed of being kicked out of the Reaver Guild.
The suppressed emotions all welled up at this moment when he saw the same grand hotel in his very eyes.
"Feng?" Carmen turned around and glanced at him. "Is there something wrong with this hotel?"
Xu Feng failed to hear her words. His mind was currently filled with the past timeline memories.
’Same hotel, but different trajectory... I’m also no longer the same Xu Feng.’ He took a deep breath and exited the car.
Looking at Carmen’s worried expression, he flashed a warm smile. In the past timeline, the two of them had no interaction.
But in this current timeline, the two of them had ties that couldn’t be replicated.
"I was just fascinated by the hotel in a first-grade city!" He chuckled heartily and hugged Carmen’s waist. "I’ll need your support to help me maintain balance. I’m about to get cold feet."
Carmen was instantly dumbfounded. When did he become so childish?
No, childish wasn’t quite right. It was more correct to say he was being cheeky and flirty with her.
’This kind of Feng isn’t bad.’ She giggled sweetly and made him lean on her shoulder.
"Then you’d better lean on my shoulder properly to not fall down. Big Sister here will take good care of you."
"Then may Big Sister keep her promise."
Just like that, the two of them flirted their way to the entry of the Twilight Star Hotel.
Upon entering, some of the guards wanted to inquire about their presence.
In response, Carmen simply flashed her phone, which showed her electronic invitation barcode.
One of the guards scanned the barcode and quickly verified their identity.
If anyone was thinking they might be barred from entering or stumble upon some arrogant young masters, then sorry to say.
The Twilight Star Hotel wasn’t some rundown place where any Tom, Dick, and Harry could make trouble in.
"That was so scary, Carmen." Xu Feng feigned a frightened look and hugged her tightly. "Those guards seemed very strong. Imagine if they wanted to detain us. We would have been dead meat."
’Deadmeat?’ Carmen was exasperated. She wasn’t an idiot to not know about the incident in how he dealt with intruders during his visit to Allison’s house.
Those intruders were all top Energy Fighters!
The fact that he came out with just a small injury hospitalization already spoke volumes of his strength.
Moreover, his martial arts choreography during filming had demonstrated his prowess.
Still, she wasn’t going to expose him. She would wait patiently for him to tell the truth.
Sometime later, they arrived at the main lobby.
"You’ve finally made it here, Carmen."
Kara, who had been socializing with others, quickly greeted her.
"Auntie Kara," Carmen dragged Xu Feng alongside and greeted Kara warmly. "I don’t know what happened, but Feng got cold feet. He’s never been to a city in this grade before."
"Understandable," Kara nodded without expressing any surprise. She did her investigation on Xu Feng shortly after they met.
Therefore, she got most of his information and knew he was an orphan in a third-grade city. Oh, it was more appropriate to call it a second-grade city now that the City Competition was basically completed.
Although Kara didn’t say anything else, Xu Feng felt like he had just been degraded into a "poor and pitiful boy" at that moment.
’Why are you using such eyesight?’ He cried inwardly. Carmen’s words had completely made her misunderstand his upbringing.
"It’s good to experience things for the first time. With Carmen by your side, I doubt you will have any mistreatment." Kara expertly grabbed another wine cup that was held by the hotel waiters and handed it to Xu Feng.
"You can handle some alcohol, right?"
"Of course—"
Before Xu Feng could respond, Carmen snatched the wine cup and shook her head.
"Men turn bad when they consume alcohol. It’s better to switch to milk for him to drink." She said sweetly.
