They stood at the alley entrance for a short moment, talked about something, came to an agreement and then continued walking down the main road. Lian, of course, followed from a safe distance, never letting them out of his sight.
Finally, the three of them walked into a small, cheap-looking hotel.
The building looked old and poorly kept. A faded wooden sign hung by the door, promising things like "24-hour hot water" and "long-distance telephone service" in peeling paint.
This was obviously the place they planned to spend the rest of the night.
After they finished talking to the woman at the front desk and disappeared up the narrow stairs, Lian reached into his pockets and checked his money. He still had just a little over a hundred left.
Lian had never stayed in this kind of cheap hotel before, so he had no idea how much a room would cost. He quietly cursed Maisie again in his heart.
"If I hadn't wasted so much buying snacks and drinks for that girl, I would have more than two hundred coins right now. That would definitely be enough."
But there was no choice now. He took a deep breath and walked up to the counter to ask the price.
The woman behind the counter didn't even glance at Lian's face. She clearly didn't care how old he was or why a kid was getting a room. She never asked for ID. She just yawned and said in a flat voice, "Whole night or short stay? Eighty for the whole night, fifteen an hour."
Lian couldn't believe it, so much cheaper than the proper hotels he stayed in with his parents on family trips. Those places always cost more than two hundred even for the smallest room.
He quickly counted out eighty and slid the cash across the counter.
Trying to act normal, he asked, "The three people who just went up… they took the whole night, right?"
The woman gave him a strange, knowing look but still tossed a key across the counter. "They're in room 205. This is the key for 206, right next door. Kid, don't cause trouble and mind your own business."
Lian made up a quick lie. "My brother is with them…"
The woman clearly didn't believe him and didn't care either. She just shrugged and turned back to her small TV.
Lian walked quietly up the creaky stairs.
The hallway was empty and smelled strongly of cigarette smoke and cheap cleaner.
He soon found room 205 and the neighboring room 206.
Lian walked quietly to room 205 and was just about to put his ear against the door to listen.
Suddenly another door farther down the hallway opened. A woman stepped out. She wore almost nothing, just a tiny top and very short shorts, and her face had thick makeup. She was still talking and laughing with the man inside her room.
Lian got nervous right away. He didn't want her to notice him and start asking questions. So he quickly gave up on listening at 205. He rushed to his own room 206, pulled out the key, and opened the door as fast as he could.
In a cheap hotel like this, a young boy stood out a lot. As the woman walked past him in the hallway, she kept looking at him with curious eyes. She clearly wondered what a kid was doing there all alone.
Not wanting to stay exposed any longer, Lian slipped inside his room and quietly closed the door. When he looked through the doorhole, he saw the woman was still staring at his door for a few seconds before walking away.
But once he was safely inside, Lian discovered something important: the walls in this cheap hotel were paper-thin. Sound passed through them almost perfectly.
From the wall on his right (room 205), he could clearly hear clothes dropping onto the floor.
From the wall on his left (room 207), he could hear a bed creaking non-stop and a woman moaning loudly.
Lian immediately knelt down, pressed his ear hard against the wall that connected to room 205, sat on the dirty floor, and listened with all his attention.
He heard the soft rustle of clothes being removed, then the old bed springs groaning as bodies fell onto it.
"Ha… ha… ha… no more… stop teasing me…" It was his mother's playful, breathless laughter.
Someone pressed down harder on the bed. "Mmm… oh… ah…"
"Don't lick there… oh… I hate that…" His mother's voice sounded shaky and short of breath.
Wet licking sounds kept going. "Baby, your breasts are so big and soft… they feel perfect in my hands… and your butt is so round and beautiful…"
His mother's moans came again and again, growing louder.
Lian felt heat rushing through his whole body. His lower part became painfully hard, and he couldn't control the reaction at all.
He could faintly hear the two men talking to each other.
"You keep licking and sucking her breasts. These big, white, soft breasts are amazing…"
"I'm going first down here… The best part isn't her breasts, it's this fat, juicy pussy. It looks so full on the outside, but inside it's even tighter… ahh… I'm in… it feels incredible…"
Lian's blood started boiling inside him. "Two men… at the same time!" He hated how his body was reacting, but he couldn't stop it.
Suddenly a loud "Ah~~" came through the wall, followed by heavy male breathing, the bed shaking wildly, and his mother's soft, sweet moans.
The licking and sucking sounds never stopped.
A little later, his mother's breathing became faster and faster. She kept crying out, "Ahhh~~~ Ahhh~~~"
Then she let out a long, satisfied sigh, followed by quick, high-pitched moans.
The man's breathing grew heavier and heavier. The bed shook fast and hard for a short moment, then stopped with a loud thud.
