The "Full Moon" event still ended punctually after twenty-four hours.
After a day of hard fighting, the three Peng brothers lay in the hotel lobby. Su Yao was also infected and began to lie down haphazardly, half-conscious.
In the end, it was Felix and Zhan Xing who couldn't stand it any longer and sent everyone back to their respective rooms.
Su Yao was too exhausted to wash up; she closed her eyes and began to sleep as soon as she was placed on the bed.
He slept straight through to the evening.
Su Yao got up, touched her hungry, flattened stomach, and decided to go to the restaurant to find something to eat. But as soon as she left the bed, her body felt like it had been reassembled, and the pain was so intense that she couldn't move at all.
Su Yao lay down on the ground again.
This time, the evil spirits and beasts were too formidable, and the intervals between the waves of attacks were extremely short. In the final few hours, Su Yao didn't stop at all.
After more than ten hours of sleep, the aftereffects of the intense battle erupted. Su Yao wondered if she should just crawl back into bed and redeem some food from the system mall.
The next second, a gentle knock on the door was heard.
"Are you awake?"
Su Yao blinked, her face full of disbelief. Did she just hear Felix's voice?
"Is it Felix?" Su Yao asked.
"Is it me, may I come in?"
"Come in!"
Su Yao quickly endured the pain, got up, and went to open the door for Felix.
Unfortunately, the idea was beautiful, but in reality, she didn't get up at all. It was Felix who, after entering the room and putting his things down, came over to help her.
"Why are you here? Did you bring food?"
Su Yao saw the item Felix placed on the table.
It's food! It's food! It's food!
"Thank you, Felix, you're so thoughtful!" Su Yao was just about to go out to find food when Felix brought it in. Who wouldn't be touched!
Felix's facial expression was much better than when he first arrived. At the very least, after sensing Su Yao's kindness, he could manage to pull up the corners of his mouth into a smile.
When Felix smiled, he somewhat matched Su Yao's impression of a succubus: enchanting and elegant, yet tinged with a sense of wickedness, like a blooming angel's trumpet flower—clearly poisonous, yet irresistibly alluring.
Su Yao's heart trembled, and she silently lowered her head to look at the bun, trying hard to suppress her slightly excited feelings.
When not smiling, he exuded a cold and noble aura; but when he did smile, it was so enchanting and dangerous. What a fascinating race, making someone like her, with such diverse tastes and a weakness for good looks, want to howl with excitement!
"Don't want to eat buns? How about I get something else?" Felix smiled briefly before returning to his expressionless face. Seeing Su Yao keeping her head down and not moving, he thought it might not suit her taste.
Su Yao quickly shook her head: "No, no, just the buns will do."
The room quieted down, leaving only the sound of Su Yao eating. Felix sat quietly and obediently across from Su Yao, watching her eat.
At first, Su Yao didn't think Felix was looking at her; she thought he was daydreaming. But after she subtly shifted her position a little, Felix's gaze followed. Only then did Su Yao confirm that Felix had been watching her all along.
Under Felix's gaze, Su Yao's face grew redder and redder as she ate (embarrassed.jpg).
Felix didn't feel any of this awkwardness. He kept watching and only spoke after Su Yao finished eating, "I'll take the plate away." After saying that, he smiled at Su Yao again.
Su Yao: !!!
"Oh, oh, okay."
Once Felix left, Su Yao finally couldn't help but sigh. She had no idea what was on his mind; today he was truly acting excessively strange.

Su Yao was also relieved. Fortunately, Felix usually had no expression. If he always had a bright smile, she really wouldn't be able to handle it.
I'm sorry, but it seems like the source text is missing. Could you please provide the text you would like translated?

On the morning of the 18th, Su Yao was awakened by the system's broadcast.
"Criticize me! Why can't you wait until I'm fully awake to say it!"
[Because there is a guest waiting for your reception at the hotel entrance. The kind that neither the staff, Ya, Zhanxing, nor Felix can handle.]
Speaking of this, Su Yao was no longer sleepy and immediately got out of bed.
After more than a day of rest, Su Yao still felt a bit sore, but she had no problem walking around normally.
Without time to freshen up, Su Yao went straight to the hall.
Just as she turned around a corner, Su Yao saw her employees gathered in a circle at the entrance, each of them crouching with their heads down, giving the impression that they were playing a game of drop the handkerchief.
As she approached, Su Yao had not yet seen the appearance of the guest, but she noticed that the three Peng brothers were mingling in the crowd.
"Is there a guest?"
Ya immediately flew to Su Yao's side upon hearing the sound, "Yes, and this guest is very special."
At this moment, Felix and Zhan Xing had also vacated a spot, allowing Su Yao to clearly see the appearance of the guest.
Su Yao: !
It turned out to be a child!
"Little one, how old are you?" Su Yao finally understood why these shop assistants had to keep their heads down. When she saw the customers, she had to lower her head too.
The little girl looked like a delicate doll, with her curly golden hair beautifully combed and a large red bow hairpin adorning the back of her head. She wore a clean and lovely pink puffy dress with lace trim. Further down, she had on white knee-high socks with strawberry embroidery and little black leather shoes. However, the socks and shoes were not as clean, being covered in mud.
"Hello, beautiful lady, my name is Annie, and I am 5 years old."
"Hello, beautiful little Annie, my name is Su Yao."
Little Annie was like a piece of strawberry-flavored cotton candy, making Su Yao's heart melt.
"Sweetheart, can you tell me how you got here? Are your parents around?"
This topic was still quite heavy and sad for little Annie. Before she could even speak, her eyes were already brimming with tears.
However, little Annie was still very strong. Before the tears fell, she wiped them away herself and said, "I followed the bright light to get here. My mom and dad didn't follow the bright light, so they didn't come. We got separated."
"Sister, can you help me find my mom and dad?"
It turned out that the little girl had gotten separated from her parents in the Misty Forest.
"Sure, come on in first."
Su Yao reached out and took the little girl's hand, intending to lead her into the inn.
"No, I can't go in without seeing Mom and Dad."
"Why?" Su Yao couldn't help but speak to the little girl with a hint of coaxing, "Wouldn't it be safer for you to come inside and wait for your mom and dad?"
At this moment, Su Yao also understood what the system meant by "the clerk can't handle it." It turned out that the little girl simply didn't want to go inside.
"I don't have any money, and I want to wait outside for Mom and Dad."
"Even if you don't have money, it's okay. When we find your parents, they will pay. And you can wait for them outside, but... you can also come in first to wash your feet and legs."
If little Annie really walked over here by herself, then keeping her clothes so clean must have taken quite some effort. She probably likes her dress very much and doesn't want it to get dirty, or perhaps she has a bit of a cleanliness obsession.
Su Yao guessed that little Annie would probably want to use hot water to wash the dirty spots.
Sure enough, little Annie's expression changed immediately.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he nodded in agreement.
……
At the same time, by the pond three kilometers away from the inn, a man and a woman were loudly calling out Annie's name.
"What to do, what to do! Where has my Annie gone?" Annie's father had been shouting on the shore for a long time, his voice had become hoarse, but still, there was no response.
"I want to go down and take a look," Annie's mother was also in a very bad state.
She didn't dare to think of a bad outcome.
Last night, it was by this pond that they lost Annie, and this pond is indeed very deep. If Annie really fell in..
"Annie is dead, and I will die too."
"I can't be without Annie either. I'm her father, I didn't take good care of her, I'll go down first."
