Just like the owner said, there were indeed quite a few budget hotels ahead, but each was relatively small in size. After visiting several and inquiring, they found the rooms were all fully occupied.
No wonder, as the highway leading to the scenic area often attracts many self-driving tourists. It's not unusual for them to drive through the night and stop at a hotel for a rest.
It was not easy, but they finally found a hotel with available rooms. When it came time to check in, however, they both encountered difficulties.
"Good evening sir and miss, could you please present your ID cards?" The front desk clerk politely requested.
Wen Jia and Yun Mu looked at each other, baffled.
"Yun Mu, do you have your ID? I didn't bring mine," asked Wen Jia.
In fact, Wen Jia didn't just forget to bring her ID; she didn't have one at all. She had recently returned from abroad and hadn't had the chance to apply for an ID card. Even the driving license she used was borrowed from Qingcheng.
