By her sophomore year, Shu Nian had been dumped in Chicago like a piece of trash.
She came out of the airport with her luggage on her back and ran into an Asian man. With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he stopped her.
"Thirty bucks a night. You won't find anywhere cheaper."
So this really is the land of the free and the home of the wild.
Shu Nian couldn't help looking him over. For a man with looks and a build like that, the price wasn't bad, but...
She bit her lip and lowered her head. "I'm afraid you have a disease."
The man's brows drew together, the end of his cigarette glowing red. After a long moment, he suddenly burst out laughing. "What are you thinking? I mean lodging!"
"Thirty a night, six hundred a month, utilities, internet, and heating included. Interested?"
*Happy ending. Five-year age gap.
